Published: Nov. 15, 2021, 10 a.m.

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

"Each one of us, come into this world like that golden Buddha. You, me, we all have that golden self. The problem is that our society, our caregivers, wants to protect us. And then we protect ourselves in the same way, like the clay on the golden Buddha. And then we lose our innate curiosity. So transformation begins by uncovering that kind of stuff.” - Bob Choat, Ph.D.

This week’s guest is Dr. Bob Choat.

As a former recon special force marine, Bob recognized the importance of psychology and physiology early on and leaned into his innate curiosity to pursue 2 post-doctorates - one in clinical psychology and one in neuropsychology.

He is the co-founder of Optimal Life Seminars and the Optimal Life Institute (along with Dr. Lori Shemek), as well as the founder of Mind Hack Academy (formerly known as mindhackacademy.tv).

He is also the author of “Mind Your Own Fitness”, and the forthcoming books, “Unleash the Champion Within” and “Self-Mastery for the Home-Based Entrepreneur”.

Bob is also a grandmaster in martial arts, the highest honor given to senior instructors, with 5 black belts and several 5th degrees, including Kenpo and Jeet Kune Do. Not to mention, he’s also involved extensively in parktour, also known as free-running, and hypnosis.

After selling his company, Bob leaned into his curiosity again and decided to dive into the executive coaching space through NLP, also known as Neurolinguistic Programing, and became a Master NLP Trainer after dedicating over 40 years to the coaching industry.

He is a former founding member of Coachville, one of the most well-known personal coaching communities that became the new standard for modern coaching, and he specialized in Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy and EEG Neurofeedback through EEG Institute.

As someone who recently turned 70 years old, Bob’s exceptional level of curiosity and his ever-expanding knowledge, and almost fairy-tale-like lived experiences are so inspiring, and something we would love to continue to embody on our show.

We hope you enjoy this week's Discover More with us and Dr. Bob Choat
