I Love Process

Throughout history mankind has authored stories and tales about fire. The mythology of fire has expressed mans desire to transform his condition. We recognize and acknowledge the power inherent within its flame. In our lives we find ways to harness fire to serve our set of aspirations. To deliberately create fires and harness the power of the flame comes in many forms like discomfort training, challenging our abilities, and beginning new chapters. The fire that burns also has the capacity to forge us into stronger, more resilient individuals. The same fire has the ability to cleanse. The fire can burn away all the debris of beliefs incompatible with the integrity of who we've become. In this episode we explore the mystery of the fire and look for ways to harness its power. Enjoy.

I create, consume and curate playlist recommendations of podcasts. I love podcasts that challenge you to see the existing world differently. The beauty in the world that we are adventuring to discover may be standing right before us each day awaiting the receptive mind who can appreciate its nuance presentation. Ideas are revolutionary and evolutionary. Don't ask the world to change, get better! So in this weeks episode I have a pair of podcasts that provide me with my prescriptive dose of tangential thinking. Enjoy.

From our earliest memories we've been inundated with fanciful stories. Our imagination has allowed us to walk in the shoes of some of the grand character created with the tales. Along the way we understandably misunderstood the nature of "Happily Ever After." In this episode we look at the stories and this phase a little differently. Though different enough to pivot more powerfully toward a more empowering state of mind. Enjoy.

Often we let our circumstances dictate how we respond to life. When things are going well, our mood reflects it and the inverse holds true as well. Life has a precarious way of working in cycles like sports. We go on the offensive and then retreat on the defense. What if we shifted the way we look at the game and treated defense with the same tenacity as we do the offensive end of the floor. If our aim is to advance the goal then there must be an abundance of opportunities available on defense to exploit. In this episode we explore this parallel that exists between sports and life. Playing defense offensively might feel a little counter intuitive, yet those who artfully do so are positioned to advance their agenda with each possession. Enjoy.

In this episode of halftime Talks we discuss an important distinction that all entrepreneurs and individuals aspiring for greatness must internalize, the assassins edge. Our collective desire should be to cultivate skill that distinguish us from the pack of alternatives. When people call on us to perform we too must possess the assassins edge.
