Be Insanely Great

Let’s Bloom!


Listen Later

It’s time for another exciting episode of the Be Insanely Great podcast, and Joe is positively bubbling over with ideas and information regarding such topics as achievement, dreaming and believing, and the power of imagination and intuition. Using Jon Rahm's recent Masters win as a springboard, Joe emphasizes the importance of these themes in our lives and the importance of taking action to achieve our goals. Joe then shifts focus, this time to the origin of the universe, discussing everything from the deployment of the James Webb telescope into space to the recent discovery of a red galaxy with some truly remarkable qualities. 

Speaking of focus, our host proceeds to put electrons under the microscope, sharing some simply amazing information about them, and ultimately encouraging us all to trust our intuition, embrace simplicity, and seek connections between the inner and outer world. Exploring the themes of stillness, gratitude, and the power of positive engagement, Joe shares the stories, actions, and words of wisdom from himself and a number of other well known personalities throughout history right up to today. These are seamlessly woven throughout the episode, as are some spontaneous shout outs to the various birds and butterflies who decide to drop in on the recording. In the end, Joe really wants us all to give these ideas and possibilities some thought, maybe give them a chance, and, above all, give ourselves some credit. Giving this overwhelmingly joyful episode a good, long watch is an excellent first step towards all of that.
