Ep. 134 | Escape Mediocrity and Use Pain for Power with Jay Nixon
Pain is part of life. Let’s face it —the human experience is incredible, and pain is part of it. The avoidance of pain, however —causes immense suffering. And furthermore: your pain can become your power. My latest Academy guest is a dear friend, brother and brother in arms, Jay Nixon.
Often, the funnest episodes I record on the Resist Average Academy are those that could have happened anywhere: during lunch, a phone call, or simply hanging out. With Jay, this is always the case, because we are aligned in our mindsets and missions.
Jay Nixon is an internationally recognized transformation coach who has been profiled by ABS, CBS, and FOX. He has also been featured in magazines such as Health and Triathlete. With his extensive coaching and speaking career and deep life experience, plus his witty but purposeful writing style, there’s no one better qualified to explain the benefits (yes, benefits!) of suffering than Nixon.
Jay is the bestselling author of The Overweight Mind and is now is back with a groundbreaking new book, The Purpose of Pain which we focus on during this episode.
Make no mistake: get ready to wake up and add fuel to your life with this motivating, intense and real episode on what it takes to grow and succeed in your life and business.

No more waiting.
No more hoping.
No more days passing by with your dreams unlived and missing out on the life that’s truly calling you in exchange for what others think you should want.
It’s time to draw a line in the cement and never look back.
Because you and I know the truth:
Nothing will haunt us more than knowing we missed our shot.
