People Who Suffer

I talk about a near tragedy with my son, Jacob, and a tragedy that occurred in my family when I was young. The short answer as to if tragedies are avoidable is yes. The impact that knowing they are avoidable can have on our lives is indescribably valuable.

In this episode, I revisit a story from when I was really young and didn't know how to see things any differently than the way I did. I dig a little deeper in that experience and share a valuable insight that would have changed so much about how I saw myself and life. It will work for you too.

Haylie shares her story of change over the last couple of years. The sound on my mic didn't work out well but please listen because Haylie is who you want to hear on this one!

Another guest appearance from the fantastic Morgan. We discuss lots of things on this but mostly the fact that inner work doesn't really exist. It may feel like work to access what's inside us, but if it does, we're doing it wrong.

Relationships can be challenging. They can be the greatest source of suffering in our lives. They can also be the greatest source of joy. There is one thing that will influence the success or failure of committed relationships more than any other thing.

Why? Lots of reasons that are all tied to the same reason. Also, maybe they don't and we just don't know it.

Steve Chandler is one of the greatest Life/Personal Development/Business Coaches on the planet. He is the author of close to 40 books, one of the world's best public speakers, and one of my best friends. I am honored to have him join me for this conversation and I think you'll hear lots of valuable things in it. 

You'll love this guy and what he shares! He is a life-long friend, a phenomenal Coach, a world-class magician and a pretty decent basketball player. He's so funny, intelligent, thoughtful, inspiring, and many other things. You can find him at @BlackSheepThinking on IG and online. Enjoy!

In this episode I talk about a metaphor that I absolutely love. It has helped me understand what it is to live in the moment better than anything else I've ever known.

Chronic mental stress is the root of all mental illness and the source of suffering. We think it's just a necessary part of our experience and we all have to learn to cope with it. There is another way.
