  • Matt: A Cautionary Tale About Adderall In The Workplace, Part 2
    Where we left off on Tuesday, Matt had just made the controversial decision to walk away from what was a seemingly well respected, high-paying job because it was costing him his health and happiness.  Today is the second part of conversation, where we talk about what happens from there - how did his friends, family, and co-workers react to the big decision? And more importantly, how did Matt go about creating balance in his life after realizing that there's more to it than just work, work, work?  Tune in to find out, as we can all take away some valuable insight here from such a young guy!

  • Matt: A Cautionary Tale About Adderall In The Workplace, Part 1
    Today is the first part of my conversation with a very interesting guy named Matt about what seems to be a growing epidemic - the use of Adderall in the workplace.  Matt was always a sharp, energetic, and ambitious person growing up and even achieved some pretty noteworthy accomplishments in college, but his life slowly started to take a strange turn once Matt graduated and began using Adderall to keep with a demanding, high-stress job. You won't want to miss this one!

  • Sam: Living With A Life-Long Illness, Part 1
    The first part of a two-part episode today featuring Sam, who has lived his entire life in the presence of a unique illness, yet has managed to live in a way that is perhaps even more unique. Sam is a prime example of why there is essentially no such thing as a "normal path" through life, and our conversation was a great one!

  • Why You Shouldn’t Focus On The Outcome (And What To Do Instead)
    Partially inspired by Chicago Cubs' coach Joe Madden, and how he's transformed one of baseball's most unsuccessful teams in a little over a year, today I'd just like to talk about why focusing on the outcome of a particular problem isn't necessary the best approach. Here's something simple that you can do instead that will not only yield better results, but maybe even allow you to have a little fun along the way.
