Here are some of the highlights from our conversation:

Physical health leads to psychological strength.

Sartre's one truth: existence precedes essence.

You must act your way into a new level of thinking, not vice versa.

Life is about making good choices, which is how ethics becomes a catalyst for positive change.

Become a hope dealer.

Apparently successful people may be only surviving and not thriving.

Imposters don't suffer from imposter syndrome.

Without fear there's no courage.  The antidote of fear is action.  Time is a fertilizer.

What you tolerate will continue.  Awareness is always the first step.

If everyone else is suffering, that doesn't mean it's okay for me to suffer too.

Are we following the wrong metric for success?

What is your tickle factor?

A smile is an outer reflection of an inner truth.

When you change the standards for yourself you give permission to others to follow your lead.

Laughter and joy project confidence and authenticity, which promote trust.

The word of the day:  Phreatophyte [ free-at-uh-fahyt ]

A plant having very long roots that reach down to the water table or the layer above it

Our actions form the roots of our values, and our thoughts are the branches that soar heavenward.
