David and Michelle discuss the finer points of being self-ish for the benefit of those you serve.  David shares details of his recent "tune-up" and in the midst of his rejuvenation and positive vibes he completed Michelle's Sunday homework.  A shocking response to his gratitude, launched him into introspection and a place of empathy.  His conclusion is that his theory on self-ishness is alive and well and that this person would likely be in a better space had they joined him - thus suggesting that more than 21% of the population should be getting massages every 12 months.  

Michelle and David openly discuss one of their biggest pet peeves that leaders often find themselves perpetrating.  The art of leadership does not include flexing.  David shares an analogy from the Choctaw Tribe that has stood the test of time and served him well on his journey of leadership.  Listen today to see of you are practicing the principle of our brother, the diamond back rattlesnake. 

Michelle and David on gratitude and how a simple gesture can literally change your life.  In the business world, things have changed and many accept the current mediocre behavior of candidates for hire.  Not at Red Kite Movement - we are bringing gratitude back! 

In a very special episode, David and Michelle express how intention is key to pulling off a prank that bonds people and creates a remarkable memory.  Knowing your audience and the personality of the target are also essential.  For those who have a fragile ego, it's wise to avoid pranking them as they will take it personally due to their narrow thinking, despite going out of the way of the pranksters to make it a loving gesture.  Mila, the target of their most recent prank shares her perspective in a Gift of the Day first.  

David and Michelle discuss the fact that life is better with close bonds and life-long bonds are the best.  The genesis story of what ignited these bonds are often the best part of the story.  David shares a deeply personal story of when a gesture created a life-long bond with one of his professors.  

David and Michelle take a pretty common occurrence and drill down on it pretty deep.  Have you ever been compared to someone else?  Of course you have.  Have you ever compared someone else to another?  Likely.  But, after you felt the discomfort of being compared to someone else, did you then continue to compare others to another?  If so, you didn't learn shit.  Listen today to hear David's painful tale of being compared to a girlfriend's rockstar ex-lover.  

David and Michelle discuss the fact that we are a sum of many influences.  The questions arise as to why someone wouldn't want to up their game by keeping the company of those who are excellent in areas that you are deficient.  David and Michelle cite not only those who they keep company with and why, but the conscious methodology of keeping those that leave them in awe, within reach. 

David and Michelle talk about the art of the evolution of being self-less by way of self-ish.  David recalls his recent trip on the Monterey bay in his kayak with his Azizam as the perfect example to illustrate the point.  

Michelle and David tackle the ideology of leadership with a mission.  A leader who manages followers is not a leader, a true leader has the intention of taking the current followers and training them to be leaders in the future.  A recent unique team-bonding event was very revealing for David and his team.   

David and Michelle discuss the fact that most of us become overwhelmed by volume, whether it's positive or negative.  Much of the success of managing through the raining down of stimulus is attitude.  David falls on his sword and admits that when the shit hit the fan technologically, he didn't perform as he would have wanted to as a mentor.  Michelle calls bullshit and acknowledges his recovery.
