Spike Spencer
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.
It’s time to stop asking for permission, fearing other people’s judgment, and second guessing your every decision. It’s time to become who you are meant to be, and bring fulfillment into every corner of your life.
It’s time for some Mindscramblin.
Did you know that your subconscious mind hears EVERYTHING you say.
The good, the bad, and the oh so very ugly.
And it then acts accordingly.
You must CONSCIOUSLY tell it what to do, while avoiding telling it it what NOT to do.
The trick? Focus on the prize!
When was the last time you made a good decision when you were Angry?
Or sad, lonely, frustrated, desperate, enraged, or any other intense emotion?
You can control your emotions and make them work for you
Here’s a few ways to do it.
Ever tried to make someone happy?
But it didn't work?
That's because it is up to THEM, not YOU to be happy or not.
Just as it is up to YOU to be happy or not.
Here are some ways to make the Happy choice.
Why do we feel the need to limit other people?
We are complicated and intricate beings with numerous talents and interests.
Don’t let other people limit who you really are.
And more importantly don’t limit yourself!
When life smacks ya upside the head, as it tends to do from time to time, it makes you stand back and evaluate.

Remember that old commercial where the kid asks the owl how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.
The owl crunches it in 3 licks, but sometimes it takes a lot longer.
You have no idea how long it will take to get to the center where the yummy stuff is.
But you just have to keep lickin!

Personal growth-wise, thanks to my wifey, I have given therapy a chance, opened up to try meds for anxiety/depression management. I was diagnosed as high functioning autistic, which explained decades of personality quirks, dynamics in my family, etc. In the COVID age, I, like many other voice actors, have had to adapt to home sessions (which I love, though I do miss seeing people) and embrace other means of communicating with the fans since the cons are gone for now.
Step one - realize you can’t MAKE someone else happy.
Happiness begins on the inside.
Then it radiates outward.
Most people are doin it backwards.

Being in the eye of a hurricane is incredibly peaceful.
Getting there is a real bitch.
Keeping your cool, when the winds are blowing, will keep you grounded.
And free from poop splatter.
What is your mission statement for life?
Are you moving quickly and clearly toward your goal?
Is your authentic on purpose GPS workin?
Or will you end up in Albuquerque?
The Friend Zone does not actually exist.
Sorry to tell you, but it is YOU that got you where you are.
And only you can get yourself out.
If you are stuck, unstick yourself.
And it all begins inside.
"Triggering" has become an easy catch phrase for reacting negatively.
We have an amazingly diverse planet.
Yet, anyone who has a diverse set of opinions from you, may "trigger" you into anger.
Well, that's a bunch of Codswallop, I say!
How To Stop Posting Negative Content, And Uplift Instead.
What is the purpose of posting negative content?
Do you need help? Do you want help?
Are you just venting?
Is it helping ANYONE?
If not, it’s time to rethink your strategy.
Nobody likes to fail. But why?
Because they fear it as a loss.
If you learn from it, then it is a lesson, not a loss.
And lessons that propel you forward are fantastic!
Therefore, Failure is Fantastic!
When a child doesn’t like something, they will tell you, bluntly.
They will tell you often.
They will tell you when it has nothing to do with them whatsoever.
So, are you doing the same thing?
There is nothing that will sabotage your success faster than your inner voice telling you you CAN'T succeed.
Stop telling yourself negative things, focus on the things that can go RIGHT.
Train your refocus muscle until your inner troll is defeated and moves outta town, never to be heard from again.
And you live happily ever after...
Whatever it is you say you want, is not actually whatcha want.
Whatcha really want is the FEELING that having the thing,
or accomplishing the task will give you.
Focus on that from the beginning, and you can move a lot faster toward whatcha want!
There is opportunity in every bad situation.
You have to adjust your vision filters in order to see the wavelengths of possibility.
Just like Geordie's visor in Star Trek - TNG.
He can see things other humans can't.
To be successful in business, love, and life you have to tweak your settings.
Astronauts always look up.
The first astronauts' eyes were always on the prize - the moon.
No amount of failure was going to stop them, not even death.
How committed to your "moon" are you really?
Ever seen someone haughtily and self righteously announcing to the world, (on their social feeds), that if you don’t agree with them, you can unsubscribe or unceremoniously, just fuck off!
This is not heroic, brave, or even wise in any way.
It simply shows a completely closed mind.
Here’s how to not be that guy.
I interview Kimberly Spencer, an amazing High Performance Coach.
Kim also happens to be my amazing High Performance Wife!
Not only will you get incredible insights on how she transforms people's stories about what is possible for them, and get them on the road to success.
We even have several guest appearances by our precocious 3 year old son, Declan.
Ever had something you wanted to buy, but didn't?
And you still remember today, maybe many years later, that you didn't buy it?
Yeah, me too. Ya know why we did that?
Lack mentality! Let’s fix that, shall we...
Imposter syndrome is really just a story we tell ourselves from a place of insecurity or low self esteem.
You can be the highest achiever in the world and still FEEL like you do not deserve it.
In relationships, in business, love and life, it can metastasize into self sabotaging behaviors, that inevitably bring about the destruction of the relationship.
Thus proving an overarching belief that you are NOT worthy of all that you have or desire.
Let’s change that BS!
What are you telling yourself?
Are you sabotaging your own success, even innocently, by making negative statements?
In my acting world, I used to say "I get told "no" for a living. Audition after audition, no, no, no, no.
I was 100% WRONG!
Find out why, and stop making failure a self-fulfilling prophecy!
Clarity is the key to clarity. See what I did there.
When you Clear away the subconscious junk,
And you get Clear on where you are headed,
And get Clear on where you are, what you have,
And how you express yourself,
Then you Clearly are on the right path.
Your ego has to be right. In fact, it would rather be right than be correct, helpful, successful, or even friendly.
Happiness lies in finding ways to let that ego go.
And once it's out of the way, you can move toward what you want much faster.
When you play a video game, you usually get at least 3 lives.
And you can always start a new game when all is lost.
In reality, we only get one life, but we can reinvent ourselves as many times as we need.
And hopefully, we don't have to face a Big Boss to win!
People set goals all the time...
And fail to accomplish them.
One of the main reasons, is overwhelm, putting too much on one's plate.
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 your warrior strength from within and take back charge of your life.
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.
Old info is bad intel, which means you will always be operating from a faulty foundation in business, love, and life.
Open mind, open heart, open for opportunity.
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, if you are actively talking.
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?
By the time any "fact" gets to your ears, chances are it has gone through numerous filters.
Most of which are completely misleading and give you false info.
Time to get that cleared up.
In troubling times when people are at loggerheads, it means that there is a lot of miscommunication.
Other people have their own filters through which they ingest information and dispense their opinions.
Understanding and respecting the journey that others have taken to get to their stances, opens up curiosity instead of clashes.
MIScommunication is simply MISSED communication. Everyone tells you what they want and need. But they do it in their language, not yours.
It is your job to learn to see the Matrix in relationships and improve your communication and connection on all levels.
Being calm and serene in the face of seemingly overwhelming adversity pays incredible dividends on all fronts.
When others are mired in fear and reactionary thinking, you can be the calm leader, the center of the hurricane.
This is a very strong position to be in.
How frustrating is it to post something to YOUR social channels, only to have random asshats criticize, complain, and attack you for something you thought was innocent, funny, or uplifting and informative?!?
Well, remember, this is YOUR online real estate. They are visitors.
Either they are well behaved and polite and you invite them in for some sweet tea, or they are jackwagons you need to tell to Get Off Yer Lawn!!!!
We all have a morning routine.
This time sets the day for success or failure on many levels.
Are you consciously doing things to move yourself forward every morning or are the things you start your day with just making it harder on you?
You weren't born walkin!
You weren't born talkin!
You weren't born drivin a car!
But you learned how to do all these things.
And you sucked at it... At first. Give yourself some grace and acknowledge that there is a learning curve to all things. It's okay to not be perfect immediately.
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 missing.
So ALWAYS take the shot!
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 you are still beating yourself up about something from loooong ago, it's time to stop that crap right now!
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 build a strong fortress with a drawbridge that you can raise and lower as you see fit!
People often say being selfish is a negative thing.
But if you do not take care of your self, and/or your needs, then how can you have anything left to serve others?
We've all heard that on a plane flight you must first put the oxygen mask on YOURSELF and then you can care for others.
Why is every other moment in life any different?
Sometimes you have to realize that you are only a human and self love matters. Humans screw up. So you must forgive yourself and embrace the good, the bad, and the sometimes really Fugly.
Change your viewpoints, change your life.
To quote the great Dr. Wayne Dyer "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
Take control of how you see the world, and the world is yours for the taking.
