The Force Continuum of Believing In Yourself w/ Texas A&M Prof Wendi Zimmer 1:13:03

Play Pause

3d ago1:13:03

1:13:03

I feel we are experiencing a schizophrenic time in our culture where we adamantly believe in our opinions and perspectives, but we have very little true belief in ourselves. We are increasingly insecure and fragile and thus offended and threatened by everything. People seem scared of other people and I’m concerned it belies an innate fear of themse…

How You Act Trumps All - At Least At First w/ Andy Andrews 1:05:45

6d ago1:05:45

1:05:45

As you know I seldom talk about current events on this podcast. But a few years ago I did address one. It was the 2022 Oscars where actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock. I did not see it and didn’t pay much attention, but then I saw a public statement made by Andy Andrews that caught my attention. I’ve known Andy for some time and had him o…

Just Breathe - Can We Really Alter Our Physical & Mental States By Doing Breathwork w/ Francesca Sipma 1:10:45

10d ago1:10:45

1:10:45

I breathe just to live. I walk to live. I eat, drink, and sleep to live. Is there a benefit to breathing more or differently than necessary? I walk more than necessary for my health and fitness and go so far as to run quite a bit. I don’t eat and drink more for my health but I eat better and drink better. I definitely sleep more than necessary for …

The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It w/ Professor Ethan Kross 1:08:51

13d ago1:08:51

1:08:51

We all know we have an inner voice, whether it speaks out loud, you write letters in your head like I do, or it’s just the constant stream of thoughts and feelings running amok at all times. A frequent directive is to shut the voice up or ignore it. One this is impossible, and two, that voice is there for a reason and the opportunity we all have is…

Fawning: Our Appeasing & “Protecting” Others Is Hurting Us All w/ Dr. Ingrid Clayton 1:15:22

17d ago1:15:22

1:15:22

We all have a primary pattern of dealing with relational conflict. There are a scant few, in my experience, who do it with health and peace. The rest tend to fall into what psychologists have labeled, Fight, Flight, or Freeze tendencies. I’m not a fighter, and viewed myself as generally freezing in the moment of conflict, masked by thinking I was j…

Getting What We Expect From Ourselves & How To Expect More w/ Anthony Trucks 1:08:38

20d ago1:08:38

1:08:38

The self-help and personal development world gives primary focus to increasing our performance so we can achieve greater successes in our lives. And it’s true we all are capable of more. Nobody is performing at their max capacity. But we won’t outperform the level of ability we believe about ourselves and all we have to go on is the proof of what w…

Considering We Are The Matrix & It Is All A Mind Game To Generate A Feeling 40:17

24d ago40:17

40:17

A few nights ago I watched The Matrix with four of my younger kids after one said she didn’t remember ever seeing it. A group of my older kids had gotten together to watch it recently as well. I’m talking the 1999 movie starring Keanu Reeves. It depicts a concept where most humans are inert and simply plugged into a computer program living pretend …

Rejecting “No Regrets” & Embracing Life Lessons w/ Dan Pink 50:09

26d ago50:09

50:09

“No regrets” is an American slogan along with “No Fear” and “Just Do It.” Yet more often than not we don’t “just do it,” having no fear is psychopathic, and having no regrets means you have no sorrow for ever hurting anyone or making a mistake. Regret is simply recognizing sadness or disappointment about something we did we wish we hadn’t, or we di…

Can You Sell Happiness, Peace & Purpose If People Really Do Not Want It 35:18

1M ago35:18

35:18

I’ve spent a lifetime doing. Achieving and building and creating and adding. And now I find that what I most want is peace. I’m 54 and I’m tired. Not physically tired. But emotionally. The past four years have been a time of deconstructing and dismantling and letting go of most everything I held dear. I have encountered the most difficult time of m…

Your Calling Is Not One Role & What Is A Calling w/ Career Expert Dan Miller 58:34

1M ago58:34

58:34

I have done a number of podcasts on calling, but as I don’t believe anyone has the definitive definition of what a calling is and what your’s might be, I am a fan of a continued discussion with various experts. I spent many years talking about calling and purpose as some holy grail discovery. Even as I did so many different things vocationally and …

Who Is Creative (Some More Than Others) & How To Go From Creativity To Delivering A Performance Or Product w/ Zorana Ivcevic Pringle 1:18:23

1M ago1:18:23

1:18:23

Do we all have some creative ability in us? Yes. Can we learn and grow to be more creative? Yes. Should we all be living as “creatives?” I question this. But what creativity we have, whether it’s art, ideas, businesses, innovations, or solutions to problems, how can we best go from the idea or concept, to actually doing and delivering something? I …

Use Your Platform For Influence & Express Your Authentic Self w/ Outer Banks Actress Brianna Brown Keen 1:05:15

1M ago1:05:15

1:05:15

In my experience almost everyone has a platform that provide the possibility and opportunity of influence. As a parent, as a spouse, if you work with other people, if you are involved in athletics or go to church, if you’re in school and more. Basically with anyone you are in consistent communication and/or proximity. Though to have influence you m…

How To Transition Through The Most Difficult Endings Of Your Life 52:32

2M ago52:32

52:32

I’m tempted to start by saying, “If you’ve ever gone through a significant transition…” but I’m not going to. I bet everyone listening has had something end that they didn’t choose, and chances are 99.9% that you didn’t come through unscathed. In this episode I’m going to share a message that has been a guiding light to me in recent, difficult time…

Harnessing The Past, The Present, & What Is Going Right In Our World w/ Positive Psychologist Niyc Pidgeon 1:04:37

2M ago1:04:37

1:04:37

Therapy gives much focus to our past, where modern day success coaching is focused primarily on the future. I advocated coaching and had no interest in the past. That is, until I realized I wanted to understand why I kept repeating the same patterns. Today I feel both are needed in order to better understand ourselves. In the field of positive psyc…

The Strategy That Outperforms Talent Or Hard Work w/ Psychologist Ron Friedman 57:33

2M ago57:33

57:33

The two primary ingredients we think of in regards to success is talent and hard work. We tend to believe greatness comes from having above average talent and putting in your 10,000 hours. Yet if we audit everyone who has achieved relative success, we find many, maybe even most, do not have either of these. So what did they do? They just figured ou…

Try Replacing All Your “Goals” With “Experiments” To Make Real Progress w/ Anne-Laure Le Cunff 1:09:37

2M ago1:09:37

1:09:37

We as humans tend to look at most everything with a linear perspective. Like every day and our lives are a straight trajectory that is either getting better or worse, depending on the day. We look at our desires as goals and work towards them sequentially, expecting to get closer every day on this so-called, straight line. My guest in this episode …

What Type Of Work Truly Inspires You w/ Jonathan Fields 1:15:03

2M ago1:15:03

1:15:03

This is not about working at your passions, or as my Dad, Dan Miller was famous for, finding the work you love. This is more about the tasks and activities you are engaging with in whatever work you are doing. Think about it like a football team. They are all playing football but they aren’t all playing the same position. So in the daily work you d…

Understanding What The Extraordinary Relational Tool Of Validation Is & Is Not w/ Caroline Fleck 1:17:39

2M ago1:17:39

1:17:39

As you may have heard on previous episodes here, I’ve grown a distaste for the concept of validation. It seems everyone wants to talk about their feelings and perspectives and then claim their right to be validated, even if their feelings and perspectives are incredibly misguided and harming themselves and others. I began putting my focus on self-v…

What Does It Take To Really Transform Ourselves w/ Tuesdays With Morrie author Mitch Albom 1:04:38

2M ago1:04:38

1:04:38

The answer? I fervently believe there is no one answer. After a lifetime pursuing personal performance and human potential, I struggle with anyone who claims to have a so called solution for what it takes to transform us. But, are there principles? And can we gain understanding of core concepts that are nuanced from one person to another? This I do…

How Music Can Enhance Our Emotions & Elevate Our Experience Of Life w/ Sara Leila Sherman 1:17:32

2M ago1:17:32

1:17:32

My only family heirloom is my Dad’s 1960s stereo console he had at boarding school. As a kid my parents listened to the music of that time and I’ll always have a special place for the likes of Barbra Striesand, The Bee Gees, and James Taylor. Around the age of seven a family friend gifted me with a transistor radio and though I had a couple dogs, m…

Upgrade The Soundtracks That Most Influence Your Life w/ Jon Acuff 56:57

In the past year and a half much of my research on personal evolution has been around the concept of reality and how we perceive it, or rather, how we do not perceive it. As I gear up to offer you some new and I feel revolutionary concepts, in this episode I’m replaying a conversation I had on the topic of reality, with best selling author Jon Acuf…

Through the lens of Context, Contrast, and Continuum, I introduce a new mental model—one that honors nuance, invites integration, and transcends the binary habits that shape much of our perception. I like to call it the evolution of yin and yang symbol and it's very useful in everyday life. What do you think of the episode? Let's talk about it! Rea…

How To Do Good In The World In A Way That Fits You & Actually Makes A Difference w/ Neil Ghosh 1:06:06

3M ago1:06:06

1:06:06

One of the greatest joys and fulfillments of life is helping another person. Not through the base obligations we have to family, but to reach out when we don’t have to and help lift another person up. But I find two problems that arise for most all of us; we don’t know where to plug in to really help others and when we do happen to see opportunitie…

How Do I Get My Own Attention? w/ Amishi Jha 1:02:28

1:02:28

There is a lot of content out these days about attention, attention spans, and distraction. What is with the seemingly dramatic deficit we have with attention? I know for myself, I seem to look for distraction and struggle to focus, even when I’m greatly interested in what I’m working on. I make it harder for myself when I have access to all my int…

10 Most Common Attachments That Detach Us From Ourselves w/ Clinical Psychologist Bob Rosen 1:27:49

3M ago1:27:49

1:27:49

When you read messages on spirituality, you will find many references on the dangers of what we are attached to. I grew up on the Bible which I feel taught attachment to nothing but God. In recent years I’ve followed the works of Anthony de Mello and Dr David R Hawkins on the dangers of attachment, from a spiritual standpoint. Now however, someone …

Our focus is, intuition. When is the last time you even heard that word, much less gave it any attention. When a book on intuition came across my desk, I was hooked. As I studied it, my focus turned toward trust, and faith. What do you put your trust and faith in? For all those who immediately say God, I’m going to ask you to stop, and really consi…
