In this episode, I cover all things breathing techniques. How were they viewed by ancient cultures and spiritualities? Which techniques do I use to relax and to invigorate myself? How does breath interact with your body to change your mood? I explore all of these questions in this episode.

Connecting with your spirituality is giving you access to power and energy that you didn't have before hand. I discuss how Sharon Hess, an author, spirituality guide, and wise wanderer of the intuition found her connection with the spiritual, and how she's helped many people do the same. We cover some awesome ground:

-Getting started on your unique spiritual path.

This conversation was rich with Sharon's deep intuition and amazing stories. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to become more deeply in tune with their spirituality, or just looking for a quick brain snack to chew on throughout the day.

In this Episode, I chat with Jordan Gross about how to integrate a cloud nine moment into your day.

Jordan is a Northwestern and Kellogg School of Management graduate, a writer, a leadership coach, a speaker, and a self-proclaimed multipotentialite, having experienced positions in large banks like Merrill Lynch to small startup companies like Chowbus.

He's also a best-selling author of a book called Getting COMFY: Your Morning Guide to Daily Happiness, a TEDx Speaker, and founder of multiple companies and organizations.

We discussed ways to create a morning routing that kicks happiness into high gear through calming, openness, movement, funny, and YOU. We discuss taking control of your life and how to understand if something is just passion or your true life purpose. This episode was an incredible window inside the mind of an individual who's life's purpose it is to cultivate happiness within himself and everyone who he comes across.

We also discuss external motivations vs internal motivations. External motivations are ones that are shaped by forces around you, and internal motivations are ones that are cultivated through you chasing your purpose. Jordan and I talk about how to structure your life around internal motivations in order to facilitate greater happiness and life satisfaction. Internal motivations relate to the things you can actually control, and how you can use your unique skills to improve your happiness and life prospects.

On this episode, I chat with the incredibly kind soul Curtis Barrett about his new creation, Kindpoints. 

  Kindpoints is a mobile app that by design cultivates a community of people striving to share and inspire with their deeds of kindness.  

He wants the people feeding the needy to go viral, not perpetual travelers. 

Curtis wants Kindpoints to change our social media paradigm to one that rewards and spreads deeds of giving, positivity, and empowerment.   

We chat about the inspiration for his creation and how people can play their part in getting "kindpoints" by spreading positive energy and natural human generosity.

Bias.

As human beings, we all experience this phenomenon. If we didn't have these biases, or mental shortcuts, to process the incredible amount of information that we intake through our senses, we'd be overwhelmed with sensation and information and unable to make any decisions.

However, these mental shortcuts can have many negative effects when proliferated across a society and imbued into our power structures and societal narratives. For example, confirmation bias and it's tendency to re-enforce opinions when presented with evidence leads to the disagreement that many have around some of the foremost issues of our time. 

In this episode, I wanted to give a practical overview of significant biases we all posses and how to control/rise above them to see the world objectively. 

 I dive into a few types of bias that are very influential in our inner perceptions as well as our society 

- Confirmation bias

- Self-serving bias

- Ingroup bias

- Anchoring/First impression bias. 

I discuss how these biases work and give illuminating examples of how they could impact a conversation around an important topic. It was a fun episode with many nuggets of information!
