Obstacles impede action, which forces reaction. The obstacle that stands in the way becomes the way. In this episode, I discuss how this pandemic and hiring opportunities help me to grow and build other virtues that I wouldn't have otherwise. 

Tune in and let me know what you think.

I've been reflecting a lot on why I'm here on this earth and how that shapes my actions and decisions. The stoics help me think through it and what that means in today's pandemic and in tomorrow's freedom. 

What does it mean for you?

In this episode, I look at 3 quotes and talk about how failure and success are intertwined to create a tapestry of achievement. 

Listen to it and let me know what you think!

Especially during this season in quarantine, we need to be focusing on the next right thing and what we can control. 

Focus on the next step, not all the steps.

We often wish that things were easier, but that's the wrong mindset to have. Wish you were better instead. Then you'll be more prepared for the next thing that shows up. You can't control your circumstances, only your response.

Habits create the person. In the 5x5 rule, we talk about habits, and now we get a full episode on them!

Love it. Listen!

This episode ties into the Failure Maze and also the Sacrifice and Excellence episodes. 

We need to stop worrying about getting recognition and instead focus on and pursue growth and transformation. As we grow, opportunities will come to us. We need to prioritize that.

This episode ties into the Failure Maze really well. If you're someone who's plagued by perfectionism (most of us), this episode is for you. 

Stop delaying your work because you're worried it's not perfect. Let it go. Ship it.

This episode, shaped by a quote from Srinivas Rao of https://unmistakablecreative.com/ states that to achieve an excellent life, we must sacrifice thing that are part of a normal life. We can't operate the same way and expect to be different.

This episode is informed by Brene Brown and I've written about it before on Medium. 

Clear is kind; Unclear is unkind. It's not always about being comfortable, it's about honestly pursuing what's best for others and being kind over nice.
