The Leadership Code with Fred Gatty

Finding Love Through the Law of Attraction: with Abi Awotesu

The Law of Attraction is the belief that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. This is based on the idea by aligning our thoughts with the right belief systems, we can attract into our lives good things— like improved health, wealth, and personal relationships. A key component of the philosophy is the idea that in order to effectively change one's negative thinking patterns, one must also "feel" (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with that law. In Christianity, it is called faith. In Psychology, it is described as cognitive reframing techniques. In this edition of the TIME with Podcast, my special guest, Abimbola Awotesu (@DearAbi) and I discuss Finding Love through the Law of attraction.

Remembering 9/11: with NYC Firefighter Lt. Joe Torrillo

Sept 11th, 2001, is the day where the world stood still.
Buried, crushed, and bleeding beneath the tons of rubble of the South Tower, Joe wondered what life could be if given just one more day. He was miraculously found alive by rescue workers with multiple fractures, a massive brain injury, and barely breathing. The light of day was something he always took for granted. Within ten minutes of being rescued, Joe was buried again under the debris of the second collapse…the North Tower.
In this Special 9/11 Edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, NYC Firefighter, Lt. Joe Torrillo shares his powerful story of survival.

Perseverance: with Huwe Burton

In 1989, Huwe Burton came home to discover his mother, Keziah, had been stabbed to death in their Bronx home. The 16-year-old, who had been at school all day, was arrested for her murder and coerced into a false confession. He was given a 15-years-to-life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit, beginning a decades-long fight to clear his name. Huwe was finally exonerated in early 2019 with the help of Innocence Project staff attorney Susan Friedman. In this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, Huwe shares his incredible story of perseverance in the face of injustice.
In Huwe's words, “It took 30 years to get it right, but life is just starting.”

Possibilities: with Heather Moyse, 4X Olympian, and 2X Olympic medalist

Heather Moyse is a 4-time Olympian and 2-time Olympic gold medalist, but she is not your typical Olympian. She didn’t grow up dreaming of going to the Olympics. In fact, she didn’t start taking sports seriously and lifting weights until she was 27 years old when she was suddenly faced with the challenge of learning a new sport and competing in the Olympics five months later.
 
According to Heather, “This alone demonstrates the fact that no one was ‘born’ to do anything. It is our choices that determine the direction and story of our lives! “
 
Heather lives by her personal motto, “Believe in the possibilities,” and inspires audiences with her life stories and her life philosophies. From the small Prince Edward Island town of Summerside to the top of the Olympic podium, Heather has been described as Canada’s best-ever all-around female athlete and has accomplished the unlikely not once, not twice, but multiple times by believing in those very possibilities.
 
She is an engaging speaker who feels that the best part of winning two Olympic gold medals is that they have afforded her a platform from which she can now inspire and empower other people to reach their own potential –her real gold.
 
In this edition of the TIME with Fred Podcast, Heather shares timely lessons from her Olympic experience, and her latest book, Re-defining Realistic.
