[party in my plants] 47: Deep Dive with a Daredevil (a professional one.) with Jonathan Goodwin
I met today’s guest on the subway! Jonathan Goodwin was fiddling with some handcuffs and I asked him what he was doing, learned he was a professional daredevil stunt performer who's done everything from hanging from a building with just 2 fingers to flipping cars to getting attacked by a shark - PURPOSELY - to hanging to a burning rope just by his teeth on one of my favorite shows -- America’s Got Talent. I just KNEW he had to come on the show to share his perspective on mental toughness, focus and discipline! Ok, all that is true except we didn’t meet on the subway. The subway would actually be more believable than how we actually met. We ACTUALLY met on stage at The Palace Theater on Broadway in New York, in front of 1800 people, when Jonathan randomly pulled out of the audience and onto the stage to perform a stunt. And by “stunt” I mean I had to hold a flower horizontally by my teeth (which, btw is WAY harder than it might seem - you try!) and Jonathan, blindfolded, used a whip to chop that flower in half. Without chopping me in half, too. Needless to say, he and I would not be talking today if I had any scars to prove this, BUT I do have a video to prove this which you can watch at www.partyinmyplants.com/47! You’ll learn: How Jonathan overcomes his fears (yes, he does stunts but he isn’t fearless, you know!) Why and how to use “chunking” to help you feel less overwhelmed at really anything. The difference between practice, rehearsal and performance. How HYPNOSIS has helped him tremendously! The surprising equipment that helps him stay RIPPED. The healthy food he considers his “filler-uppers” which I consider “brilliant!” And loads more! Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!
