In this episode, we got to pick the brain of internet phenomenon Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on some fundamental themes in personal leadership and development.

We talk about the potential of living in the West with all its opportunities and the moral obligations this has on maximizing your potential as a human being. We explore the concept of little gifts or nudges from the universe and why they are so important and how they all start with you as a person.

Another topic we delve into is the power of goal setting. Having something you aim at has a tremendous effect on the manner in which people behave themselves and manage their focus and energies.

Experiments done at the Erasmus business university showed that students who had done Dr. Peterson's Self Authoring Program not only completed their education in higher numbers, their average marks were also significantly higher.

Related to this is the importance of establishing a relationship with goals which have a transcendental value and the beneficial impact that would have on you, your surroundings and the world. We discuss the dark side of goal setting: the worst case scenario and it's value to fueling your motivation. Fear it would seem is not without its purpose or use! It's a matter of channeling it in the right way.

And of course, we touched on the archetypical monomyth and how we can use it in the projection of a metaphysical overlay on reality that allows us to instantly choose the right path in any situation. It's all about bringing order into chaos! A moral compass we are all equipped with! And the cherry on top? All this Wisdom is put into context by some great Startrek and Starwars analogies!
