EFR 454: Befriending Cowardice and Why Change is Our Most Defining Characteristic with Eliot Marshall

<p>Eliot Marshall is a martial artist, business owner, podcaster, bestselling author, and a self-proclaimed “ex-UFC fighter turned motivational speaker”.</p> <p>Eliot points to <em>change</em> as the defining characteristic of his life and career. He looks at each new day as an opportunity for growth, and believes fully that he is a better man today than he was at any other point, regardless of past successes. In fact, even with a prolific run in MMA behind him, Eliot admits that “my UFC career was literally just me trying to hide all these insecurities I have.”</p> <p>Today, instead of running away from the coward within, Eliot embraces that side. He made it a point to learn all about his fear, and to coexist with that fear. He goes on to speak about how <em>love</em> from those he cared about the most yanked him out of the literal death spiral of negative self-talk that enslaved him early on.</p> <p>Eliot explains how anybody can reverse engineer their ideal life in order to start taking steps toward it. This includes going through the three <em>I</em>s that you need to write down to start calibrating your mindset for growth: your <em>I am</em>s, your <em>I can</em>s, and your <em>I will</em>s.</p> <p> </p> <p>Follow Eliot <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/firemarshall205/">@firemarshall205</a></p> <p>Follow Chase <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/chase_chewning/">@chase_chewning</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Key Highlights</strong></p> <ul> <li>Eliot explains how and why he used his career as a professional fighter to hide the coward inside of him.</li> <li>How was Eliot able to surround himself with a great community of people that he could trust in his darkest hours?</li> <li>How good can our life become just by changing our mindset?</li> <li>Eliot may no longer be in the UFC, but he is clearly still a fighter.
