Positive Intelligence: The Foundation of Mental Fitness
Positive Intelligence (PQ) is all about building mental fitness to unlock your full potential for happiness and meaningful contribution. It offers practical strategies to help you shift from self-sabotaging habits to a state of peace and power, so you can be at your best more consistently. If you’re intrigued, I highly recommend taking the Saboteur Assessment to uncover which inner saboteurs may be holding you back. You can learn more about Positive Intelligence here.
Heroic Connection: Why Mental Fitness Matters for Peak Performance
If the concept of Positive Intelligence sounds familiar to you Heroic followers, it’s because the two systems are closely connected. Heroic is a powerful tool designed to help you unlock peak performance in the key areas of energy, work, and love. But here’s the catch: even with the best self-development tools like Heroic, your inner saboteurs, especially the Judge, can still sabotage your progress.
Positive Intelligence gives you the mental fitness you need to overcome these saboteurs. By learning to silence those internal critics, you create the mental space to truly benefit from Heroic’s strategies. In other words, get your mind right with Positive Intelligence, and then you’ll be in the perfect place to unleash your full potential with Heroic.
My Heroic Positive Intelligence Journey
I’ve been fortunate in many areas of my life—health, career, family, and purpose. After selling McIntosh Engineering, a global mining business I built over 17 years, I no longer had to work for money. I shifted my focus to Purpose, co-founding MAC6 to build communities where people and businesses thrive, as well as Conscious Capitalism Arizona, with a mission to elevate humanity through business.
At 74 years young, I feel incredibly fulfilled in almost every aspect of my life. But here’s the thing: no matter how successful we are, we all carry stress, anxiety, and mental health challenges. Despite humanity’s progress, our brains are still wired for survival, which means the fight-or-flight response is always lurking.
Through Positive Intelligence, I learned about the powerful saboteurs hardwired in our brains and the importance of nurturing the Sage side of our minds. This mental fitness practice has helped me understand the forces at play within myself, and how to quiet those voices that try to sabotage my peace.
Discovering Heroic
In October 2023, I discovered Heroic, and I was immediately all-in. I invested both financially and with a commitment to bring Heroic to our MAC6 community and beyond. Heroic’s daily protocol—focused on energy, work, and love—took my sense of fulfillment to an even higher level. I felt incredible, but I knew I could go further.
As I took on the challenge of co-founding Heroic Arizona, I realized I wanted to be the best version of myself for this new chapter. So, I hired a coach, Adam Lugsch-Tehle, who introduced me to Positive Intelligence. Adam’s first step with every client is to guide them through the initial six-week Positive Intelligence program. I said yes, and wow, what a difference it has made.
Heroic + Positive Intelligence: A Winning Combination
Two things can be true at the same time: Heroic is an extraordinary self-development platform, and Positive Intelligence is the perfect complement. The brain science behind Positive Intelligence has taken my Heroic journey to the next level. I’m still working on my mental fitness, as we all are, but the combination of these two systems has elevated my relationships and my overall experience of life.
A Personal Story of Resilience
Here’s a quick story to demonstrate the power of Heroic + Positive Intelligence. Two weeks ago, I underwent a major knee replacement surgery. Thanks to my mental and physical preparation, supported by both Heroic and Positive Intelligence, I was calm and free of anxiety going into the surgery. The recovery has been nothing short of remarkable—one week with a walker, a few days with a cane, and now, two weeks post-surgery, I’m walking, building strength and feeling great, looking forward to hiking in the desert hills again soon.
The Call to Action
As we’ve been promoting the upcoming Heroic Arizona Launch on October 19, I know you may be getting tired of all the promotion, but I promise this is something you won’t want to miss.
My coach Adam will be in Phoenix speaking at our big Heroic Arizona Launch event. If you’d like to meet Adam, join us on the 19th for the event, AND Adam will be leading two Positive Intelligence workshops on Monday, October 21. We’re planning one in the morning and another at lunch, both in-person at MAC6.
