YouTube Sharing our personal experiences can have profound effects on others. One such effect is motivating them to take the kind of action that eventually leads to positive changes in their lives. It's really easy to say that people should just get motivated, it's even easier to tell them they need to go watch a motivational video or read a book, but the reality is it doesn't work that way.

April 27, 2023 13:47 - 8 minutes - 8.17 MB

In this episode, we explore the alluring and often overwhelming desire to do it all. We start by acknowledging that we all have the capability to do anything we set our minds to, but being capable and being good are two different things. We often find ourselves envious of others who excel in a particular task or craft, which can send us down a rabbit hole of excitement and inspiration, only to lose interest when the next shiny thing comes along. So why does this happen? Where does our need ...

In this episode, we explore the importance of understanding the motivations behind personal change. Often, we feel pressure to improve ourselves because society tells us we're not good enough as we are. But the truth is, we are already enough. Personal change should come from a place of self-love and acceptance, not external pressure. We must question the messages that society sends us and determine whether we truly want to make a change for ourselves or for someone else. Moreover, persona...

April 20, 2023 21:44 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MB

When you hear the word "productivity," you might think of getting as much done as possible in the least amount of time. Is this really the best way to work though? Grinding away at an endless list approach really the most effective way to work? I don't think it is and I don't think you do either. There's a better way, it's called being effective and I think it's worth better understanding the differences between productivity and effectiveness.

In this episode, I dive into the strange and often hazardous intersection between capitalism and the pursuit of passion. I'll explore how the pressure to find and monetize your passion has become a pervasive message in our society, and the consequences of treating passion as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. I'll discuss why it's important to prioritize passion for its own sake, rather than solely focusing on its profit potential. I'll examine the dangers of reducing passion t...

Lately, I've been paying close attention to what motivates me and trying to figure out how to pursue more of that. This reminded me of a book I read early last year called Tiny Habits by B.J. Fogg. In the book, B.J. introduced the behavior model. The B = M A P behavior model is a simple yet powerful tool that can help us understand the factors that influence our behavior. B.J. Fogg, a Stanford University researcher and expert on behavior change, created this model to help explain why some be...

865 - Some thoughts on finding your why

January 27, 2023 01:47 - 7 minutes - 7.27 MB

A common trap that I fall into is feeling like my “why” needs to be this huge, selfless thing. Like it needs to be Mother Teresa levels of altruism. Something like: Wanting to help underprivileged communities Because you want to fix climate change To support children because they’re our future And, maybe it would be nice if those were naturally your reason but if they’re not, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Let's get something straight, your "why" doesn't have to be some big, noble cau...

We've all been there. We know meditation is good for us, but we just can't seem to start and stick with it. Maybe we're too busy, or we're not sure how to do it.

Here's a question...when was the last time you considered your unconcious biases? Have you ever? It's okay if not..most of us haven't. But here's something interesting to note..whether we take the time to examine them or not...they do affect us. Every single day.

How productive were you today? Do you know? Did you track it? What method did you use? A to-do list? A pomodoro timer? I’d bet you were really really productive. I bet you got a lot of things done and checked off all those little boxes right? So here’s a different question…did any of it matter? Sure, you were productive…but for what purpose? To what end? I think many of us forget to ask that last question in our day to day lives and work. As a society, we’ve been so focused on how to be pro...

October 20, 2022 20:12 - 22 minutes - 18.3 MB

When you think of a cult, you might conjure some very specific imagery. Groups of people dressed in white, huddled around a charismatic, long-haired leader. Glasses of red fruit punch, mixed with other things, in the background. And a general sense of impending doom as the leader shares their celestial or holy visions with the crowd. This idea of a cult may have been popular in the 70s and 80s but the modern cult is more sophisticated, often choosing to weave cult-like practices into more ...

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and billionaires like them are treated in society as geniuses deserving of their massive wealth. After all, they created it by their own ability to identify an opportunity, gather resources, and bend reality itself through sheer willpower and an unwillingness to give up. Their hard work earned them that fortune, and they use it to better society by creating new jobs, solving big problems, and giving back through philanthropy.
