Placeholder recorded around Thanksgiving?

30-min riff on not feeling like recording an If Disney Ran Your Life Season 8-Work opener episode.

Recorded original Traditions episode from West Glacier Motel 09.24.20.

Recorded this one in error 10.15.20 from home.The travel, time, and 3-week absence from recording confused me.

Will hold onto this for future use.

Published seven years ago, jeff finally opens up about his personal story and why he wrote this book as a life-guide for his young son. Mid Life Celebration could easily be renamed: Life's Five Big Choices.

Recorded at Grinnell Glacier Overlook, August 2020.

How do you move from "having no time to waste" to "having time to kill"? What changes when we stop rushing? After 40 opportunities, finally took it.

Recorded at Grinnell Glacier Overlook, August 2020. One giant step from our rocky seat and we would have fallen to our death, otherwise, the seat was glorious.

Explaining the energy behind a crazy continuous improvement goal...cutting podcast duration to 10 minutes from 15. Adding a second Disney story. This is second "warmup" episode before an official "If Disney Ran Your Life" episode. Biggest risk is setting not setting bar high enough.

Recorded sitting next to Swiftcurrent Glacier, August 2020.

What is this?

We end this 100-episode podcast exactly as we started:

Episode one began with three simple questions: Who is Jeff, what does he do, why does it matter?

Episode 100 concludes If Disney Ran Your Life with three simple questions: Who are you, what do you do, why does it matter?

Bonus episode from Glacier National Park: Trying things that might not work is standard operating procedure for personal vibrancy. This is a 9-minute warmup episode before recording Season 6, Episode 5.
