Habits can be good for you — meditation or exercise, for example — or bad for you, like smoking. But we know a few things about habits, like that you can only replace a habit with a habit, and how long it takes to form habits.

No, you're not going crazy. We're transmitting this episode again because it was lost from the feed. 

One day in 2009, Josh invited Kelvin to breakfast. It was steak and eggs, with some double-brewed coffee. Double-brewed coffee? Yes. Make a pot of coffee, cool it down, put fresh grounds in there and instead of pouring in water to brew another pot, pour the recently-brewed coffee in and brew that using the fresh grounds.

Anyway.

Kelvin noticed Josh’s guitar cases, and they got talking a little about Josh’s past, which included a CD, which he wasn’t going to give Kelvin. Listen to the episode to find out why.

We also talk about jazz, friends, and finding the courage to break out of who you were and become who you will be.

No, you're not going crazy. We're transmitting this episode again because it was lost from our feed. 

Nothing to see here! OK, maybe a little something to see here. Welcome to the show! We’ve got a very short introduction today: a little about Josh, a little about Kelvin and a little about what you can expect from the JKWD Podcast.

The show notes get better next week when we actually talk about something other than ourselves 

"Human beings come into the world with a passion for control," writes Dan Gilbert in Stumbling on Happiness. "They go out of the world the same way, and research suggests that if they lose their ability to control things at any point between their entrance and their exit, they become unhappy, helpless, hopeless and depressed" (p. 22).

What would happen if you decided to let go of some of that control? Could you do it?

Steven Mays is proud to have grown up a military brat. After graduating the United States Naval Academy in 1974, he joined the Navy Nuclear Power program. He served on attack submarines, and later went on to a civilian career involving safety and risk evaluations of nuclear power plants.

Through both his military and civilian careers, he ran into good leaders and bad leaders, and when he boiled it down, he realized that there were a few things the good leaders had that the bad leaders were missing.

He detailed these in this short book, Power of 3: Lessons in Leadership, and brings us those lessons today. Don't let the length of this podcast throw you — this was a wide-ranging conversation that just flew by. Enjoy!

Do you have expectations of someone that you haven't told them about, but you resent them for not meeting those expectations anyway? This is an example of a covert contract — and it can ruin a relationship.
