ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Are you OK?

I know we may not have ever met face-to-face. But I care and I'm really asking.

Personally, I never thought I'd see something like this. A global pandemic? It's nuts.

Here in Irvine, CA, where my family and I live, it's probably a lot like it is out in your neck of the woods: empty shelves at the grocery store. Face masks. Gloves. Hand sanitizer... And this weird obsession with stocking up on toilet paper. ‍♂️

In any case, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

And one more thing...

I've heard it said before that the only way humanity would ever unite and come together is if we had a common enemy from another planet.

Well, here's the thing: for the first time I can think of, we now have that common enemy... And it's not from some other planet—it's right here on Earth.

And in times like these, we've really got to come together (not physically though! Keep your distance!).

We've just got to look out for one another.

Check-up on your friends and family.

Text your neighbors and ask them if they need anything.

Give your DoorDasher a little extra to show your appreciation.

And feel a profound sense of gratitude for all the health professionals and everyone else that's on the front lines of this pandemic—tirelessly working to get it under control for the greater good of us all.

Wishing you health and safety as we all get through this. Together.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Have you ever tried to stop an ant without killing it? It's virtually impossible. They never stop.

Put one to the test someday. Pretend like you're a kid again, and make a small hill in an ant's path. Then watch what happens…

The ant will walk up and over the top of the hill without braking.

It doesn't matter what you put in the ant's way, it'll figure out a way around it in order to go where it needs to go. It'll crawl along the side of a wall, go into a hole, over a tree stump, through the grass—it doesn't matter. And if it can't go through something, it will go around it.

An ant will never turn around and walk the other way, no matter what obstacles are in its path.

Try applying this kind of tenacity to your own life. Obviously, you'll want to use your brain, too (you're a lot smarter than an ant). But in the determination department, be like an ant.

Refuse to be stopped. Continue overcoming any obstacles in your path. Keep going, make smart decisions, and learn as you go.

The people who make their dreams a reality are the people who patiently persist.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

"The best communication occurs when both people are sincere—one sincerely wishing to learn or listen, and the other sincerely wishing to share."—Jim Rohn, Leading an Inspired Life

The fact that we have evolved as a human species to develop the concept of what we call communication is nothing short of incredible when you stop to think about it. Verbal speech originated half a million years ago. Symbols came along approximately 30,000 years ago. Fast-forward to circa 2018, and here we are—communicating with one another across the globe, using technologies like the internet to connect with one another. Crazy, right?

A lot has happened between the very beginnings communication, to where we are today…

We've got radio, audio, and video.

We've gone from symbols to Skype.

From face time to FaceTime.

From chiseling text into stone, to tapping out text on the phone.

We have regular books, and we have audiobooks.

The article you're reading right now is a form of communication.

We've even got satellites floating around in space right now, some billion light-years away, all in hopes of making contact—communication—with something we've never seen before.

These are all channels of communication that have dramatically transformed our way of life.

But in it's most intimate form, communication happens with ourselves. The voice in our heads—telling us we're not good enough, smart enough, or successful enough. Or that very same voice telling us that we are good enough. That we are smart enough. That we are successful enough.

What exactly is communication? In short, communication is the act of transferring information and ideas from one place to another place. And if we plan to live the most meaningful, successful, and fulfilling life we can, then it makes sense to learn to communicate as effectively as possible—both with ourselves as well as with others.

This is where self development comes in…

Self development and communication are two areas of life that are inextricably connected to one another—you really can't optimize one without the other.

When you listen to this episode, you'll learn 6 ways to elevate your life by elevating your communication.
