31: The Fundamental Flaws of Our School System: Part 1

31: The Fundamental Flaws of Our School System: Part 1

I wanted to a take a bit of break from guests on today's podcast and really just highlight something I am incredibly passionate about.

Our school system and how education works.

It isn't set up the way that we are taught in school (ironically) but was fashioned together to produce mindless, monotonous workers, and there is a reason for that.

20: Solocast II - Viewing Events As Neutral

When it comes to life, you'll have everything and the kitchen sink hit you.

The thing is, when we see events as negative, they can get in the way of what we want to do and who we want to be.

That's why I've been practicing the idea of viewing events as neutral.

In this quick Solocast, I explore and walk you through why we all should view events as neutral.

7: Notice What Stresses You... Motivation Monday

7: Notice What Stresses You... Motivation Monday

In this quick Motivation Monday Minisode, we talk about stress.

Yes, stress is rampant just about everywhere you turn.

From your job to your home life, to how your environment and so much more there are many different areas that are chronic stressors in our life.

This week my challenge is simply for you to start notciing these areas.

You don't HAVE to take action on eliminating them yet, but just notice them and slowly start to become aware of where you have chronic stressors.

If you want to reduce stress naturally checkout the video on the youtube channel as well!

6: Thinking Long-Term and The Clock of Long-Now

6: Thinking Long-Term and The Clock of Long-Now

We often think that we think long-term.

It can seem like next week, next month or even the next 5 years are a long, long time.

Although, in this podcast I explore thinking very long term.

50, 100, 1000 years.

And how what you do now will affect the world for the rest of its existence.

This week, let's go out and crush it.

Get ready for the new week and thanks for listening.

5: Motivational Monday - You Only Have So Much Time... So Use It

5: Motivational Monday - You Only Have So Much Time... So Use It

It seems so counter-intuitive.

You only have so much time in this life.

Granted the truth is, you only experience (as we know now) the time you can experience.

Thus, that means that when we spend time not using it correctly, we are quite literally throwing away precious seconds of our life.

You Only Have So Much Time... So Use It
