Consumption.

An abundance of information telling us what perfect is and what we should be in order to feel happiness.

But is this getting us closer to who we are or further apart?

One of the biggest questions we can ask and what feels like the toughest one to grapple with is...

Who am I? That is the question and the topic for todays show.

Thousands of years ago as civilization was formed, men often needed to be uncompromising, unrelenting, and always looking to win and succeed...often at any lengths. Flash forward to now, with humanity in a vastly different place, certainly much more is required from men that be a dominating figure.

The search for a meaningful role in this world has left many feeling the weight of expectations, many unable to grasp the load, buckling under the weight.

In this episode we discuss why old school masculinity and bravado is not what the world needs right now.

Do you ever find yourself enamoured with a celebrity or an athlete and say, "it would be nice to be that gifted?"

If you've never asked it, you've probably heard it said. We humans have a need to label high achievers as special or as having something we don't have so that their greatness doesn't make us feel badly about ourselves. However, if you take the time to study "the great ones", you will find the clues that greatness leaves behind. The question becomes, are you willing? Are you willing to do what is necessary to achieve what we like to call greatness? Join us as Luke and I break down the stories of some of our icons and the habits that have helped us grow.

What is driving our need for validation and acceptance? In this episode we dive into the need for approval in our modern world. We are social creatures, and to a large degree, we tend to determine our worth by how we are perceived by the outside world. To what degree is this driving our decisions? Are our motivations pure or are we behaving for approval from the group? When you make big decisions, do you make sure they are based on what you want and what will make you happy?

Join us as we tackle these questions and many more.

Manifesting what we want in our lives is a subject of interest to many. We had both read The Secret close to its release date, and our lives didn't change forever as a result those pages.

So in discussing how to create clarity and vision for our clients, we decided to go back and watch it again. We discuss what works from The Secret, if you add many layers and steps that were not discussed in the book and movie of the same name.

In this episode we tackle the missteps we see made in the blind pursuit of happiness. We explore whether making happiness your core life mission is in fact the best play.

We will also look at some alternatives to simply happiness and some tools for creating lasting fulfillment and joy. What are the habits, behaviours and routines that lead to sustained joy? We tackle these subjects and more in episode one.
