Jack Panda Speaks

Are you finding yourself less energized as winter approaches, but rather than hibernating, you keep pushing yourself to keep the productive momentum flowing? In today's episode I talk about the human disconnect with the cycles and seasons of the year, why we are called to hibernate like other animals but resist it, the inner conflict and anxiety this causes me, the limitation of self diagnosis, why we may not be able to rely on only natural treatments anymore for ailments, and how I am trying to find keep my mind open when it comes to medical practitioners.

Do you feel that sometimes you lack assertiveness at work or in your intimate relationship? In today's episode I talk about why I enjoy the restaurant experience, treating yourself and your loved ones, realising my feminine tendency and lack of assertiveness, group integration through transparent communication, and group dynamics.

Are you willing to speak your truth even if that could jeopardize your job or relationship? In today's episode I go on a little rant about transparent communication, how so many times we don't express our opinion out of fear, creating a space for self-expression as a leader, the art of listening and giving unbiased feedback, co-creative problem solving and decision making, and finding a balance between masculine and feminine styles of management.

Do you set yourself unrealistic goals and then get overwhelmed soon after setting it? In today's episode I talk about how small daily goals keep me centred, my running progress, acceptance when things are not flowing your way, why rapid decision making is key, reducing my exposure to spontaneity, and how self-respect is implicit in achieving goals.

Do you have a detaching yogic approach to life or an involved tantric one? Today in my "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about freedom within the freedom of others, how commitments and responsibilities give life meaning, some downsides of living the digital nomad lifestyle, spiritual bypassing, why a relationship should challenge you in order to grow, the fact that we humans are goal-oriented, and the art of doing nothing.

Do you think that you need loads of money in order to live a millionaire's lifestyle? Today on my "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about how a Wednesday felt like a Sunday, how all the days of the week are seemingly merging into one, what defines being and feeling rich, why a millionaire's lifestyle has never been so accesible, living beyond our means via debt, and the importance of self discipline in today's world of unlimited productivity.

When was the last time you treated your partner or took them on a date? Today on my "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about the importance of consistently nurturing a relationship, how we get less creative in love as time passes, making time for intimacy, finding a balance between routine and change, how a daily routine offers relaxation, and why recording yourself like I do is a great way to clear your head.

Have you ever been to an interview or business meeting and portrayed yourself as something you are not just to get the job or client? Today in my "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about the art of selling oneself, winging it at your first interview or client meeting, trusting in your skill set and abilities, the importance of dedicating yourself to something you believe in and you are passionate about, how being likeable gets you 50% there, the irrelevance of having a beautiful website if you cannot comunicate with confidence, how faking it until you make it has nothing to do with lying, and being careful who you share your doubts and vulnerabilities with.

Are you willing to be a rock and commit no matter what happens? In today's "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about how commitment in a relationship is transcendental, building a solid foundation for the long term, being the rock when shit hits the fan, how we expect trust from the get go, commitment to life or death mindset, and shifting to a love that has the capacity to hold everything.

Have you ever had a dining experience and felt like it was an experience beyond just eating? Today in my double "Daily Audio Vlog" I talk about my self-punishment for missing yesterday's episode, how food is not just food but a mirror of ourselves, how we can use food as therapy, sensory deprivation, eating in silence, connecting with your food when you source it, cook it and eat it, our Sacred Food vision for 2020 and how I am transitioning from a nomadic lifestyle to a more grounded and commited one.
