Leverage podcast featuring Peter Shankman, public relations master, best-selling author and host of the #1 ADHD Podcast Faster Than Normal.
Peter Shankman lives a faster than normal life and rocks it. He’s an uber-successful entrepreneur, public relations master, best-selling author, host of the #1 ADHD Podcast “Faster Than Normal,” and single-dad to his 5-year old daughter. Not to mention a licensed skydiver, marathon runner, Ironman participant and Peloton junkie. It’s not that he has more time on his hands, he’s learned how to leverage his ADHD and use it as a gift.
It all started in the mid-90’s when Peter was in an online chatroom and was encouraged to apply to a newsroom start-up. With minimal experience outside of a journalism degree, Peter helped build the largest digital online newsroom in the world — AOL — in just 3 years.
In the wake of the dot-com boom, with the priceless experience gained from AOL, Peter wanted to start a PR firm. The only problem was… he had no money. With the upcoming release of the movie “Titanic,” Peter had the idea to take his rent money and get 500 t-shirts made with the quote “It Sank. Get Over It.” and sell them in Times Square. He sold out in 6 hours.
Taking the t-shirts online, he cleared $100,000 in under two months. Enough money to start his PR firm.
Peter hasn’t slowed down since. To what does he attribute his success? In his mid-30’s Peter was diagnosed with ADHD, and learning how to “drive” his faster than normal brain has been a game-changer.
“When you’re driving a faster brain — just like when you’re driving a Lamborghini — you have to know how to drive it.”
Here are 5 productivity hacks that helped Peter leverage his best life:
- Discipline
- Systems and Processes
- Structured Days
- Wake-up Early,
- Workout

Leverage podcast featuring Eric Edmeades, internationally recognized business speaker, film producer, serial entrepreneur, business coach and film producer.
Listen in as Nick Sonnenberg, Leverage Founder and CEO, chats with Eric about his wildly successful business coaching programs Business Freedom and Wildfit.
Eric believes that entrepreneurship is the ultimate expression of personal liberty and freedom when practiced correctly. Entrepreneurship is royalty in the Western world, yet very few business owners get to experience the freedom of being their own boss.
Entrepreneurs are hopeless optimists. 80% of businesses fail before their 5 year anniversary, and the other 20% are just getting by. Business Freedom helps guide entrepreneurs through the “jungle” of business.
“It’s a jungle out there, but jungle is only a jungle if you don’t understand the rules of the jungle.”
Just like experiencing any other “jungle,” you always go out with a guide. Business freedom is like your “jungle guide for business”.
It helps business owners start a business, gain personal and financial liberty and freedom as a result of owning a business, in addition to massively improving their quality of life - living the way they want to live, spend time with their family, have the money they want to live like royalty.
Eric’s coaching is all experience based. He’s been there, he’s lived through the struggles and has learned the “rules of the jungle” to not only survive but thrive by also practicing his “wildfit” principles of staying healthy and living their best entrepreneurial life.
Listen in to learn more about Eric, his endeavors and mission to help entrepreneurs worldwide through Business Freedom and Wildfit.

Sharon's played a crucial role in bringing meditation and mindfulness to the west, and into mainstream culture since 1974, when she first began teaching. She's a regular columnist for On Being, a contributor to the Huffington Post, and the host of her own podcast, the Metta Hour.
What is Meditation?
“I think people have a lot of ideas, I certainly did, about what meditation is and what it isn't. Sometimes those ideas are pretty off … the point isn't to make a certain thing happen, but to relate different to whatever is happening with more balance, with more kindness, with more presence.”- Sharon Salzberg.
There is a lot of social pressure for meditation to a blissful, peaceful experience. But that’s truly not the final goal, to have a blank thought. Meditation is creating a neutral experience in your everyday life through the ability to be more intuitive with your thoughts and feelings. Positive and negative ones. It changes the way we relate to those feelings and how we can process them.
How do you Meditate?
There’s no set guidelines, or rules. It can be a very personal experience. You can meditate sitting, laying down, walking or while your in the grocery store. Meditation can be e

Leverage podcast featuring Chris Prefontaine, founder of the Smart Real Estate Coach and Leverage member.
After the 2008 real estate market crash, Chris and his company reinvented the way they made deals and now coach and mentor people from all over the country to achieve the same success.
They started doing real estate on their own terms — literally. They started doing real estate deals on terms.
Chris works with (a) sellers who were unsuccessful in selling their homes, for whatever reason, and (b) sellers who have time and want the most out of their home. He offers them an alternative solution to sell their home under a specific set of rules. Without the need for brokerage fees, these sellers are motivated to get as much money as they can out of their home by working with Chris and his family.
Think of leasing a car — terms deals are very similar. They also don’t require cash, capital, credit, bank loans or risking personal finances… And the way Chris does them, there is very little risk.
In a terms deal, Chris’s company acts as a middleman between a seller and a pre-qualified rent-to-own buyer...
