"Confidence is the sum of the thoughts you have about yourself."
-Jonathan Fader
On the most recent episode of my podcast, Unplugged with Brandon Steiner, I spoke with Dr. Jonathan Fader. Dr. Fader is a licensed performance psychologist. He is the Director of Mental Conditioning for the New York Football Giants and also served as the team psychologist for the New York Mets for nine seasons. He is part of The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Mental Performance Initiative and is a frequent contributor to the national conversation on performance, appearing on CBS this Morning, CNN, Fox News, Bleacher Report and others.
Jonathan is someone that I have known for a long time and I always learn from him ways to achieve healthy mental balance and control. Last year he released an amazing book, titled Life as Sport, which is about how to attain and maintain a life philosophy that anyone can live by: an internal code to help translate our talent and drive toward the highest plateaus of performance.
In this episode we discuss:
- How to respond to stress.
- "Life is a sport and you are the person out there competing."
- Anxiety vs. worry.
- Blowing things out of proportion.
- Mental climate.
- The difference between great teams and others.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
