Be mindful in all that you think and do.

“When you follow a leader, consider what would lead you to withdraw your support.

If the answer is nothing, your integrity is in jeopardy. Your highest loyalty belongs to principles, not people.

No leader deserves unconditional love.

Commitment is earned through character.”

-Adam Grant

Grant is the host of the WorkLife and ReThinking podcasts

With the New Year upon us, many of us have embarked on the old tradition of setting New Years Resolutions. We do a little inventory on our lives and determine to change what we don’t like about ourselves, our behaviors or environment. We’ll try to ad that which is missing, or subtract that which is useless or harmful in one way or another. In general, I think this self reflection a good thing to do. But why limit it to just once a year?

Lo and behold, Santa delivered this episode directly to your device while you were sleeping! What a sneaky and jolly good fellow.
Christmas itself has changed more than my opinions about it. As I get older, and now have a child of my own, my relationship to this holiday continues to change.

I couldn't decide what to title this episode so as not to give it all away. There were several good title contenders: Doobie Dilemma, Doobie Dunce, Kush Core, Cannabis Coma, Cannabis Creep, Cannabis Corpse, Moderate Mary, From  Mary to Buddha, Taking the Bud out of Buddha etc. the list could go on and on. Ultimately, I decided on Cannabinoid Android for the reference to the Radiohead song 'Paranoid Android', which I love. 
In this episode I discuss some of the things which have been both a help and a hindrance to me over the years and what I plan to do about it.
Stay to the end, I've got something new up my sleeve.

The big news is revealed. Plus, how do you pull yourself out of a creative funk? What have I been doing since my last recording? 
Just the act of freely expressing oneself, even if only to oneself, is extremely liberating. If you stick with it until the steam subsides, you just might get to the root of the issue.
