Today's episode is pointed, passionate and probably gonna piss some people off.  Although we find ourselves in times of grave government overstep and dismantling of freedoms across the world,  many of us are too busy being mad at each other about things we are told to feel by politicians.  The hypocrisy of global politicians is no longer something to avoid talking about.  Most of us don't trust politicians, or politics?  So why do we let them tell us how we should feel?  Why do we allow them to separate us, and cost us our mental health, friendships, relationships and sometimes more?  Hypocrisy is something that we explore to see if it is possible to be virtuous and a hypocrite at the same time?  We hope you will listen to this episode in its entirety and are happy and willing to have open dialogue with anyone out there about the times we are in.  More than ever.  we need LOVE, we need consistency, we need virtue.  We must not let true virtue die.  Let's talk!

Awesome discussion with our friend Chris about how being fully committed to something is often easier than part time committed.  Chris is currently on an 821 day streak without a day off from running.  Check it out for an awesome insight into acheiving great things one small decision at a time!

Evan and Joel had a great time discussing the relationship between reasons youre unable to do something over time, and how a legitimate reason that is keeping you from your goals today, becomes an excuse as time passes and it remains unresolved.  We offer a strategy to deal with the sometimes overwhelming feelings of fear and imposter syndrome that can creep in when we are challenging ourselves to pursue something far outside of our comfort zone.  " If you don't sacrifice for what you want, then what you want becomes the sacrifice."

Today we discuss the give and take relationship between being either " A jack of all trades" or top level elite at one specific thing and the sacrifices that you will need to make no matter which path you choose, how to decide who to invite to your wedding, and why Evan half way reads a lot of books.  Enjoy!

Awesome First episode of the new year with Joel and Evan talking about the differences between fate and destiny,  how the choices you make can impact the path you take, and what you can do to make sure that your destiny becomes your fate.  This one was a lot of fun.  Enjoy!

The Story of Sisyphus is not the happiest or most heartwarming story,  but the value of understanding the stoic Principle of controlling what you can, when you can, where you can, cant be overstated.  In life,  we all have a different rock to push.  Often times,  the act of choosing to do this with a positive attitude will lead us to where we hope to be. Evan and Joel have a great discussion about how being "humble",  can lead to us having a hard time believing that we are valuable and capable enough to live a meaningful fulfilling life through our work.  The opposite of Nihilishm is Gratitude,  and we hope this discussion will help you believe in yourself and take the first step toward living your best possible life.

This week we talk about the damage being done to our society with the black and white mentality, ostracizing of people who don't fit into a specific mold and the disappearing of nuanced, meaningful conversations between people on some of the biggest issues facing us right now.  The power of love is not in the ability to always agree or never be unhappy with one another.  The power of love is that it persists.  The power of love is that it can bring us together without us all having to agree about everything.  We need Nuance in our Thinking,  but more than anything, we need LOVE.

Plot twists incoming!  Lot of talk today about building a sustainable baseline of balance in your life,  unhealthy expectations, the perfect chaos that is the universe, and the incredible design of the planet we live on.  Life isnt perfect... GOOD.

Today we had our friend Lianna back for an awesome conversation on many different levels about  topics ranging from imposter syndrome, to physical fitness, mental health, empowering women, humility as a vessel for credibility in business and leadership, and reputation vs. character.  This was so much fun we hope you enjoy!

 

Lianna also is the host of her own podcast " This World, My View".  Give her a listen, she's Awesome!
