Today I break down an archetype that’s found its way into our world lately. The joker, seemingly everyone’s favorite character from the Batman series. If you’ve seen the newest rendition with Joaquin Phoenix, you get a dark look at the formation of the character. You see how life sort of pushed him into his role as he contended with hardship and rejection. Today's show is about the warning and message buried in the Joker archetype.To check out the course mentioned in the beginning of the show, check out The Trials

In today’s show I interview Dave Bidler, the founder of the organization Physiology first. In this episode we talk about the interplay of physiology and psychology. I think this is actually one of the most important conversations that I’ve had on air. This will certainly be a relevant conversation if you have children, but also, if you’re someone that deeply cares about the future of our species, the issues that physiology first is looking to provide solutions for are some of the most important facing us in the world today. If we are unable to manage stress it is unlikely that we’ll be able to manage anything else in our lives.

Advice I’ve began to hear more and more around the personal development space is that it’s alright for things not to be ok. That it is alright to acknowledge when things aren’t going well or even how you want them to be. Today's show is about the importance of this advice. Because what this does is give you a doorway into a new way of being. In our culture many of us are taught that we have to fix things when they are wrong, in fact depending on the subject, it’s almost blasphemous to simply allow things to be wrong. It’s certainly uncomfortable for many of us. What this acknowledgement does is create a culture of people that have have an incredibly hard time sitting in other people’s discomfort.To hear more content from Rick, subscribe to the show or head to www.rickalexander.comTo check out the Trials course mentioned during the intro, check out www.wayoftrials.com
