Welcome to the Mindscrambler Podcast!
I am Spike Spencer and I talk goofy for a living... Seriously.
I'm an award winning internationally known voice actor and public speaker. I am also a relationship expert and an NLP certified transformational coach, among other things.
The Mindscrambler is here to help you look at things from different angles, scramble the negative programming that has been flooded into your subconscious, and help you connect deeper and communicate better in all your personal and professional relationships.
In 2005 I was devastated after losing everything in a terrible divorce and bankruptcy and I had to start over. I had to rebuild, restructure, and reprogram who I was at a deep inner level.
Now, I have coached thousands internationally on strengthening relationships, found my amazing beautiful wife, who is 19 years younger than me (so yes, I know a little something about attraction) and became a first time father at 48.

And fail to accomplish them.

Sometimes, the fastest way forward is to SLOW DOWN.
No one can fight harder for you, than you.
No one can also be harder on you, than you.
If you are beating yourself up and feeling like a victim, there is hope.
And it all starts within you. Build up …
Just like you can't see through a closed door, you can't see through a closed mind.
If your filters are already set and no longer open to new information, you will always operate from the past.

Ever heard the saying "You have one mouth, but two ears"?
Or "It's better to shut up and let people think you are a fool, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt"?
You cannot actively listen…
Have you ever taken a second and asked, where did you hear that?
Was the response something like, I heard it on the radio or news?

In troubling times when people are at loggerheads, it means that there is a lot of miscommunication.

MIScommunication is simply MISSED communication. Everyone tells you what they want and need. But they do it in their language, not yours.

But you learned how to do all these things.
And you sucked at it... At first. Give yourself some grace and acknowledge…
Every relationship, every transaction, every sale, every date, every friendship, happened because someone made a decision to DO something.
If you do NOT take the shot, you have a 100% chance of missi…
How you do anything is how you do everything.
You've probably heard that before.
So what are you ACTUALLY doing?
Just because you are busy, does not mean you are being productive.
How are you ACTUALLY spending your time?
What if you could do LESS and actually get MORE done?
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. So what happens in your past should stay in your frickin past.
If you are making decisions now, based on your past self; you could be in a world of hurt.
And if…
It's the quality of your questions that will make or break the quality of your relationships is dating, business, and life in general.
Here's a few ways to ask better questions and get better results…
Are you looking at your life through a filter?
Most people view life through the prism of their past.
It's time to get past your past, into the now, and secure your future.
Weak walls make for weak castles.
If your personal boundaries (your castle walls) are thin, have holes, or are possibly made of cardboard and wishes; then you are in for a rocky road.
Here is how to …
