LFG Energy Podcast (Arjun Dhingra)

In this episode, I dive into something deeply personal and transformational—the Better Human Project. After years of attending and speaking at industry events focused on professional growth, I realized that true success starts with being a better human first. I reflect on how social media skews our perception of perfection and why the pursuit of "better" is a lifelong journey. I share insights on finding harmony amidst life's chaos and how cracks in our personal lives can become craters in our professional lives if left unchecked. Drawing from my experiences in coaching, mortgage, real estate, and martial arts, I explore what it truly means to embody LFG energy—not just in moments of adversity but in the way we uplift and serve others daily. Stay tuned for part two, where I reveal personal stories that shaped my outlook on life.

In this episode of LFG Energy Podcast, I break down how to achieve and maintain peak performance in any area of life by understanding the importance of "flipping the switch." We explore the idea of readiness—whether in sports, business, or personal growth—and why most of us need to stay in a "training" or "functional" state to handle life’s opportunities or challenges as they arise. I share my experiences coaching Team USA athletes and how these same principles of maintaining functional shape apply to entrepreneurs, students, and anyone aiming for growth. Tune in to discover how small, disciplined actions keep you prepared to switch gears and achieve success on short notice.

In this episode of the LFG Energy Podcast, I break down the essential five types of people to have in your life to maximize personal growth and success. It’s not about limiting yourself to five individuals, but rather surrounding yourself with five personas that positively shape your character and mindset.

In this powerful second part of my reflections on the Better Human Project, I dive deep into the lessons and experiences that shaped my perspective on life, happiness, and service to others. I share the defining moment when I realized that true happiness comes from noticing rather than expecting, a lesson reinforced by years of traveling to India and witnessing the beauty of selflessness. From my grandmother’s unwavering dedication to serving others to a powerful encounter with a group of children in the streets of Delhi, I unpack the real meaning of LFG energy. I also challenge you to think about how you want to be remembered—if there was just one word people used to describe you, what would it be? This episode is a call to action: Pick your word, align your actions with it, and commit to being a better human every day.

In this episode, I share something deeply personal—my 5-part life creed. These aren’t just ideas; they’re guiding principles that have shaped how I lead, love, and live. Each one was forged through life lessons, mentorship, and moments that challenged me to level up as a human being. I talk about what it means to show up when no one’s watching, how to shift your mindset around “wasted time,” and why being in service to others is the ultimate life hack. From a quiet handshake to a simple “hi,” I unpack how seemingly small moments can unlock massive opportunities. If you’ve ever wanted a framework for living with more intention, clarity, and LFG energy—this is it.

In this episode of LFG Energy, I dive into the idea of "work-life balance"—and why it’s a myth. Despite what we hear from countless books, seminars, and videos, true balance doesn’t exist when we’re striving for greatness. Real success, whether in business, personal goals, or sports, comes at a cost. Drawing from personal experiences, I explain how achieving big things often requires sacrificing parts of life—social events, family time, or relaxation. I introduce an alternative: "work-life harmony," a concept that respects the natural imbalance of life while finding a way to make everything coexist. This episode is all about acknowledging the price of greatness and the mindset shift needed to make it work without losing everything else along the way.

Arjun and Omar El Takrori have a hugely impactful discussion that goes into the importance of perseverance and the mindset required to succeed in both personal and professional endeavors. Omar shares insights from his military experience, something you wouldn't expect to hear from the "Content King", emphasizing that when challenges arise, individuals do not rise to the occasion but rather fall back to their level of training. Omar expresses the necessity of consistent effort and dedication over time, rather than seeking immediate gratification, detailing how success is not the result of a single action, but of continual effort and hard work.

Omar and Arjun explore a different concept for LFG energy, suggesting that deep commitment to serving others and solving problems over the long-term can sustain motivation and prevent quitting, rather than relying on short bursts of motivation. The discussion also touches on the impact of upbringing and personal history on current behaviors, highlighting the significance of learning from the past to create a better future.

Plus, I’ll walk you through how you can use the GAS Method to snap out of funks, strengthen connections, and make yourself truly magnetic. This isn’t just about business—it’s about being a good human and thriving because of it. Let’s dive in!

In this LFG Energy episode, I unpack the concept of adaptability and why it’s crucial to success. Drawing from personal experiences and insights from a survey of top-performing billionaires, I highlight how life’s unexpected setbacks reveal weaknesses and push us to improve. I explain the "adaptability quotient"—a person’s ability to pivot and stay resilient when "shit hits the fan." Through relatable examples from business, sports, and personal life, I encourage you to develop mental agility by embracing pressure situations and crafting a personal adaptability plan. This episode is a powerful reminder that success hinges on flexibility, especially when things don’t go according to plan.

In this episode, I bring you behind the scenes of a keynote I gave to the U.S. National Taekwondo Team—lessons not just for athletes, but for anyone chasing greatness. I reflect on the power of incremental growth, the urgency of embracing finality, and how high performers tap into both their “why” and “who” to fuel their mission. Whether you're building a business, training for a goal, or navigating a season of change, this episode is packed with real, emotional, and actionable insights. The journey to transformation starts here—and it starts with LFG energy.

This week, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the wild and totally unplanned story behind the creation of LFG Energy. It all started with a scratched-out idea on a piece of paper and turned into a defining moment in my career—thanks to a bold move at a Vegas conference and a last-minute pivot that saved a massive event with Ryan Serhant. This episode is all about going all in, trusting your gut, and taking your shot even when it’s scary. Whether you're stuck at a crossroads or just need a nudge to leap, this one’s for you. Let’s fucking go!
