We talk a lot about “managing your expectations,” but what does this look like in our lives? This week, we talk about expectations: how to set them, what to do when they aren’t met, how to know if they’re too high or low, and how to adjust them.

The words we use carry weight. Everything we say helps shape our perspective of the world around us. What kind of world are you creating with your words? Are you helping or hurting yourself? Are you communicating with confidence or deflating energy in the room? This week, we explore how to improve our language and give examples of what to say and how to improve in life, relationships, and work situations.

Athletes are often lauded for their work ethic and how they approach the game. Are these skills transferable to life? What could happen if we started watching “game tape” of our lives and applied some of these same principles? This week, we explore how to be a student of yourself and level up in life through the lens and framework used to approach sports.

While the world may not be easy all the time, it doesn’t always have to be so hard. This week, we explore what it actually looks like to live a softer, easier life in practice, and discuss the actions, mindsets, and thought shifts required to make the transition.

How do you know if you trust someone? How does someone build trust with you and vice versa? This week, we explore the foundations of trust, how it’s built, and a framework we can use to evaluate self-trust and trust with others in our own lives.

This week’s shoutout is Romar Frazier and his first patent with Boeing! Congratulations Romar!
