The Mental Conditioning Movement

·28 min·2 clips

Elliot Allen, a mental conditioning trainer, compares life to a boxing match where you must be ready to throw punches or get knocked out.

The episode begins with hosts Ray Schwetz and Denisha Boston-Hill introducing Elliot Allen, co-founder of the Mental Conditioning Movement. Elliot explains his background, having worked as a computer engineer for seven years and then as an NYPD officer, which exposed him to different mindsets. He realized that people in jail cells were often as smart as those in corporate offices, but mindset determined their outcomes. Elliot defines mental conditioning as strengthening the mind to enhance decision-making toward a big picture while staying the course. He shares that his wife tricked him into attending a Robert Kiyosaki event, where he saw a diverse crowd struggling mentally, inspiring him to start his business. Elliot breaks down his four principles: self-evaluation, decision-making, big picture, and staying the course, emphasizing that self-evaluation is the most difficult. He describes his mental conditioning gym, painted like a boxing ring, where clients are called 'fighters' and engage in mental sparring. Elliot discusses common misconceptions, such as assuming challenges are physical rather than mental, and shares an example of a client who passed a physician's assistant exam after mental training. He addresses generational trends, noting that youth often struggle to identify their big pictures. Elliot concludes by stressing the importance of clarity and provides his contact information, including social media handles and a website.
