WTF is the RAS? Tony Robbins often talks about it, and Dr Hubermann has discussed it briefly.  We'll give a brief neurobiological explanation and then dive into how the RAS works psychologically in your life. This episode trails nicely after the previous episode on Positive Mental attitude. You'll learn how the RAS influences the wallpaper in your life, why driving in Germany could be the best driving experience for you, what type of car you are in life, how using the RAS (and PMA) is the real flex over the Secret and "manifestation", and we will talk about personal examples to make these statements all make sense.

What is that emptiness feeling we sometimes experience? What is the Shadow Side? Is it all bad? What does pain have to tell us? Why do we avoid pain? Why do we do the things we do and what motivates us? In this episode, we get deep into the unconscious, the shadow, and pain. We get open and vulnerable and use personal examples that will help the listener to find their way.

The Obstacle Is The Way (It's all Grist for The Mill, or whatever that means).  You'll learn about this classic concept from Buddhism and Stoicism and we borrow heavily from Ryan Holiday's amazing book titled as thus. Josh and I give personal examples of where we have applied this concept and where we are still endeavoring to do so. We give tools you can use to help apply this concept immediately, as well as adjacent and near rabbit-hole conversations about Aikido, Jiu-Jitsu, Strength Training, why introverts hate small talk and how they can deal with it, how reframing in psychology is similar to the concepts discussed, and much more. 

In this episode, Josh reveals a little about his recent experience with losing a relative and being confronted with past behavior loops including co-dependency, cognitive distortions, and numbing/avoiding strategies. Miles holds space and shares some literature and strategies and both of them talk about anger and the quality of having high standards and also high self-compassion.
