360 seconds. 6 minutes. 1/10th of an hour. Just 4 tenths of 1% of our day. Can it make a difference? Can it be THE difference leading toward a life of meaning, purpose & impact?

The Science of Free Will: Dr. Mark Solms

February 27, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 46.3 MB

What if I were to tell you our conscious thoughts and resultant actions are not a reflection of simple sensory inputs - such as the air temperature as we step outside or the sight of an eagle flying overhead. Instead, it is how we FEEL about those sensory inputs that drives our complex decisions and actions. Your response to an external input may very well differ significantly from mine – not because we have a different sense of smell, touch, sight, sound or taste but because we FEEL differe...

Latest Endurance Discoveries w/ Outside Magazine's Dr. Alex Hutchinson - #257

February 06, 2023 08:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

Years ago, a hot new book by one of my favorite columnists came out. I was leaving to speak at a conference taking place on a cruise ship (still my fav speaking engagement to date) but I couldn’t wait to dig in. So I contacted the author to see if it was possible to have an advanced copy shipped to the hotel and he made me a deal: he’d send me a PDF if I promised to buy a copy once it was available to the public. Done. I still have that PDF, covered with notes, underlines, asterisks and unde...

Write YOUR Story - WSJ's James "Bob" Hagerty

January 30, 2023 08:00 - 40 minutes - 28.1 MB

What’s your story? It’s a question that opens the door to the story you want to tell. In contrast to a resume review, list of race results, or accomplishments of note, it provides you the freedom to reveal the elements of your life that color your canvas of time. It’s my favorite question to ask “soon to be friends” at a party or networking event and it’s a close cousin to the clear personal vision we discussed a few weeks back. Today, one of the world’s foremost weavers of life stories, Jam...

January 16, 2023 08:00 - 44 minutes - 30.7 MB

When we look at the way in which we’re living our lives, are our hearts and souls engaged? No seriously – are we going through the motions, checking off the boxes, but forgetting to tune into whether those activities and actions stir something inside of us? Think about a typical day – is there a joy? A passion? An deeper level of engagement to our real life field of play? Does the music on our commute speak to us?
