Episode 139 Male TMI, Bad Guest

Beloved mindfulness teacher, best-selling author, and longtime Buddhist practitioner Susan Kaiser Greenlanddraws from science, psychology, Buddhism, wisdom traditions, and personal stories to offer a view of “real-world enlightenment”—where we shift from a narrow survival-driven frame of mind to one that is grounded and as vast as the sky. When we cultivate this expansive worldview from the inside out, we become more resilient, and we are able to build a kinder and more resilient world.

To help us do this, she offers valuable methods and  takeaways that allow you to apply these life-changing universal themes every day. They include:

You are measured by what you do for others, not by what you have accomplished for yourself.

The Gouge, in military parlance, is what you really need to know. So here's the Gouge on Bob. As a Navy SEAL Admiral with four decades of war-fighting experience, including Bosnia, Panama, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen, he never lost a single man under his command. But his experience runs much wider and deeper than that.

While growing up in Iran in the 1970s, he hitchhiked throughout Asia and the Middle East; his grueling daily workout has been performed in at least five continents; and his latest adventure involved setting a world record for parachuting onto Mount Everest. In this book, he boils all of this down into the Gouge philosophy: how to move yourself and the people around you forward using the best information picked up from a lifetime of experience.

The result? PFM: In military parlance, that's Pure F**king Magic.

Michael Ward with Dogs and Fishes. This stellar lineup of world-class musicians (who have played just about every classic rock artist under the sun including Steely Dan, Todd Rundgren, Journey, George Harrison, Etta James, Earth Wind and Fire, David Byrne, Donald Fagan, Tom Waits +) has been creating music that blends elements of blues, folk, and classic Americana to create a rich instrumental interplay since the early 2000s. 

The San Francisco based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and owner of the renowned Hyde Street Studios (previously Wally Heider Recordings home of iconic records from The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Santana, and Creedence Clearwater Revival +) Michael Ward will be releasing his own new music next Friday, July 26 with single “Big Bite" listen early HERE. 

Having spent six years as a full-time, anti-war worker with three of them on the staff at Joan Baez's Institute for the Study of Non Violence, Michael Ward has been using his musical platform to address the mechanics of fascism while fighting for democracy for decades. The politically charged tune "Big Bite" questions how to diffuse this politically charged climate and challenges the current Trumpian model. The raucous speech in the bridge is Mussolini bloviating to a massive rally crowd, an experience which shares an uncomfortable resonance with those of Trump.

For every Miracle Mop, Bombas sock or Squatty Potty, there’s a Plushky. What’s a Plushky? It’s a stuffed, colorful plushie shaped like a country. For six years, from 2010 to 2016, then Austin-based entrepreneur Ricardo Jiménez engaged in a relentless pursuit to find the market, customers, distributors, investors, partners and sellers that would make his line of Plushkies the next big thing.

Given these cuddly plush stuffed toys can’t be found on shelves of any major retailers or on any online marketplace, we already know the ending of this story. Jiménez failed in his efforts to get others to see his vision that these toys would bring the children of the world together. But not every entrepreneur can be a Joy Mangano, Dave Heath or Bobby and Judy Edwards. In fact, nine times out of ten, entrepreneurs fail.

But is it truly the ending of his story or his Plushkies? In his new book, CRASH COURSE: A Founder’s Journey to Saving Your Startup and Sanity (Forefront Books; June 18, 2024), Jiménez shares what it’s like to pour your heart, your passion and your financial resources into a dream and vision that few others see. And, most excruciatingly, fail at it.

Have we been given a how-to on what it’s like to fail at a start-up? In CRASH COURSE, Jiménez asks: Can failure inform a different narrative of accomplishment, as opposed to success by mainstream measures?  In his book, Jiménez offers advice on how to:

·        Learn the most valuable information first. What do your customers want? What are they willing to pay? How are they going to use the product?

·        Know your motives before you leap. Are you doing this for yourself or others? What is the number one driver of your decision to start a business?

·        Trust yourself. Follow your heart and do not fear the outcome, he says. You are bigger than your company or your enterprise. Life comes first, business second. 

·        Learn when to let go. He shares the spiritual journey he took that led him to understand that sometimes the best thing to do is to let go.
