How endurance athletes are using the power of the now | Ned Phillips | TEDxUWCSEA

Mind over Matter? Ned Phillips explains the idea of peak performance in what he calls ‘the power of now’. His entire career, he never realised the importance of the mind until he partook in endurance races, in which the realisation struck, your mind has to takes over, and focus not on the past, not the future, but only the present, and naturally your body will follow. With this in mind, how can we apply it to our daily lives?

Ned Phillips is the director of Alt Ex Advisory, a consultancy company which specializes in solutions to the changing landscape of financial technology across Asia.

Currently a Consultant to 8 Securities, he is Asia's first Robo Adviser, and an Adviser to Singapore FinTech Consortium, whose goal is to promote and develop Singapore as a leading FinTech hub. With the rise of FinTech across Asia and especially in Singapore, being part of these three companies keeps him at the forefront of FinTech, which he sees as completely changing the way we interact with our own finances.
