Clipped from #99. The Young Wade Donze makes a great observation in today's society. When we hit road blocks in social settings, we tend to use our phone as a scapegoat. I've been guilty of this myself; especially when I'm on a date. We're talking, laughing, everything's going great then suddenly the conversation hits that road block and its our initial reaction to pick up or phone (or drink) to help us get passed this conversation road block.

Clipped from #99. The Mighty Wade Donze throws some wisdom at us in this clip. Workaholics have this thing I like to call stubborn pride. The people who brag about working 80+ hours a week, have 5 jobs and are too tired to do anything for themselves by the time they get home. Wade admits to being like this and how he noticed it started to affect his personal life. Work was always on his mind. He was preoccupied, always thinking about work and not about himself.

Unfortunately this episode ends abruptly due to some technical difficulties we had during the stream. Luckily we were still able to get a good 90 minutes recorded. It was super Tuesday last week here in Minnesota and Dougy being the idiot that he is, had no idea who to vote for. That's where he bring in his close friends Ung Nation & The Dominate Professor Phil to get their opinions and perspectives on

candidates. To anyone who has been listening to us for a while now I'm sure you already know what said Phil stands on. Ung brings a more positive and faithful energy to the podcast though. He voted for Bernie Sanders and explained to Dougy why he thinks he is the best pick for the democratic nominee. This is a great podcast with two totally different view points on government.

Clipped from #99. This is might be the most powerful clip we have to date. After losing my most recent girlfriend to her mental illness I've become obsessed with figuring out how we can beat that voice in our head. Our demons can be depression, insecurities, negligence, fears and even hunger. I've discovered that most simplistic way to start exercising our mind is do a fast. Weather its 4 hours or 23, when your mind tell you your hungry, you tell it to STFU. As time goes on your mentality will get stronger. You realize there's a lot of things in life you can go without; and eventually your mental toughness will ascend to a level where you can finally face your major demons. Your depression, anxiety, whatever demons you have will try to talk to you, you'll be able to look them in eye and break free from their grip.

This is the second episode in of The Transformation Series w/Impulse 2 grind. In our first episode we told you to do the exercise "My Life as a River" which can be found here https://impulse2grind.com/ Click the Begin your Journey button and read the following steps. This episode is focused on Dougys river and his life growing up as a only child in the upper middle class suburbs. He tells us how hard it was growing up with a speech impediment, being ugly, kinda fat, shy and socially awkward. The real point of doing the My Life As A River exercise is to re-open some of those doors we shut from out past. Both negative and positive instances. For Doug it was re-opening the doors that contained his drug addiction demons and his insecurities. Its not good to live in the past but its okay to revisit the person we use to be every now and then. Reflect and go back in time to your rock bottom low moments in life and face them with the brain you have today. Do the same with the positive moments in your life. It made Dougy realized that sometimes we don't get the full closure we need until we gain the wisdom or experience to do so. This episode was streamed live on:

Clipped from #99. I've been dumped many times in my life. Actually every girlfriend I ever had has dumped me. Some are easier to get over than others but I'm grateful for everyone. They have taught me life goes on and you should never rely on someone to generate your own happiness. This was my easiest bounce back ever and I think its because I was happy and in love with myself. One of my favorite cliche quotes is "you cant love someone till you love yourself."

Clipped from #91. Say what you want about EDM and "soundcloud rappers" they are still making music. Lets use some empathy here. As kids we are extremely curious. I couldn't get off the computer and I was born in 91, playing with windows movie editor almost every day. Imagine being born with modern day tech and getting that child's curiosity with a music making app.

The second episode in The Transformation Series with James Nichols aka Impulse 2 grind, is about mapping out your life as a river. There are exercises we can do that help us admit our weaknesses, failures, insecurities and other negative emotions. In this episode the main exercise is to draw your life out as a river. What is the flow of the water like are certain ages? Are the boulders or rocks in your river? Is there a waterfall? Make the mouth of your river the beginning of your childhood up to present times. Then label the environment around it. Spend some time with this and open some of the closed doors that helped forge you into the person you are today and reface those demons with your new mind. I encourage you all to watch the recorded version of this podcast on www.youtube.com/douglife because it will help you get a better understanding of the exercise and the ultimate goal of this podcast. We also have smaller exercises and test we would like you to do if you need help ascending. These are all shown in episode #101 Transformation Series - Doug Life on www.youtube.com/douglife
