Professor Emerita Mary Doll joins me to do what all great thinkers do; tell stories. We discover why storytelling is so important to our emotional intelligence, as well as the role dreams play in our self-understanding and forward momentum. 

Some topics we cover:

•  Storytelling
• Intimacy of Story
• Gaining Wisdom
• The Power of Myth
• The Personal Hero's Journey
• Ecstasy
• The Power of Dreams
• The Beauty of Being a Mutt

FINALLY! The episode that explains what the fuck emotional intelligence is!

Here are some topics we dive into:

• Performance vs Potential in Leadership
• The Four Components of Emotional Intelligence
• Necessity of Being Able to Learn
• EQ Growth Strategies
• Response vs React
• Accountability and Feedback
• Resilience
• Systems and Systems Thinking

Find joy and peace in this new year through learning (about yourself and the things that excite you).

In this episode, People Management Expert Sam Kalk and I discuss:

• How to Love Learning
• Intrinsic Motivation
• Self-Determination Theory (Autonomy - Competence - Relatedness)
• Learning in the Workplace 
• Managing People Better

I promise you need to hear at least one part of this. I give you some thinking about how to view experiences that may feel nauseatingly familiar to you and wrap up with some Do's and Don't's of going home for the holidays.

Topics:

• Systems Thinking (and why it is relevant)
• Triggers and Mindfulness in Familiar Experiences
• Romanticization of the Past
• How to Honor Yourself

The (real) bird and bees talk that your parents never gave you. 

We hit an array of intimacy related topics such as:

• Sexpectations
• Unhealthy narratives in and out of the bedroom
• Creating a culture of conversation
• Intimately learning your sexual self
• Connecting with a partner
• Avoidance
• The (Bullshit) G Spot

BIKES! BIKES! BIKES!

This week, I have the Executive Director of the Urban Cycling Institute at the University of Amsterdam, George Liu! We talk about my favorite activity (leisurely bike rides) and how cycling can engage social and personal mindfulness, as well as urban mobility's role in social change and a higher social intelligence level within a culture.

I wanted to share with you some beautiful stories of secure and courageous relationships, so I brought Kelly and Alexa of Bedroom Rodeo tell you their most recent experiences. Sprinkled throughout these stories and the entire episode are some important nuggets of information relating to navigating roommates, rekindling friendships, and what it actually takes to create conviction and confidence.

After some (very) quick reminiscing about not following the rules, we dive in to breaking the habit of being yourself, the state of flow, and spirituality in the growth journey. Solomon then speaks on how your preconceived experiences of meditation, mindfulness, and coaching may have developed an unhealthy association with the subjects. He also has some tools for your growth!

Tayler Ayers thrives in the black and white of things. He wants to make it known that there is no grey area to him. Most importantly, he wants you to form an opinion on him. Good or bad. So, come join us this week and decide how you feel about him.
