 Welcome back to the podcast, today Brene Brown is back with another one of her educational talks on shame and guilt. 

In Episode 15 of my podcast, I had the privilege of spotlighting Brene Brown's newest publication, "Atlas of the Heart." For those who haven't had the opportunity to listen to that episode, I highly recommend checking it out.

Brene Brown is a research professor and author known for her work on shame, vulnerability, empathy, and courage. She received her Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin, her Master's degree in Social Work and her Ph.D. in Social Work and Psychology from the University of Houston.

Brown's research on vulnerability and shame gained widespread attention after her 2010 TED Talk, "The Power of Vulnerability," went viral. She has since given several more TED Talks, written multiple best-selling books, and hosted a popular podcast called "Unlocking Us." Her work centers around helping people develop more resilient and wholehearted lives by embracing vulnerability and recognizing the power of empathy and connection.

In this episode, Brene Brown offers valuable insights into the complex emotions of shame and guilt and how they can impact our lives.

In his seminal work, "Why We Sleep," Dr. Walker explores the latest scientific findings on sleep and its profound impact on every aspect of our lives, from our cognitive abilities and emotional regulation to our creative potential and longevity. With expert precision, Dr. Walker reveals how a good night's sleep is not just a luxury but a vital necessity for optimal health and overall well-being.

Dr. Matthew Walker underscores the vital importance of optimizing our sleep duration and protocols to ensure our overall well-being. Dr. Walker's research provides a powerful call to action for those who may not have prioritized their sleep in the past, offering compelling motivation to take a proactive approach to improving the quality and quantity of their sleep.

It's fantastic to have you back on the podcast! I must say, I have a profound admiration for Jim Rohn myself. He was the very first person I came across many years ago talking about personal development, and I recall listening to his CDs on a continuous loop. The wisdom he imparts is timeless, and I've come to appreciate that you can never get enough of his message.  

Today, Jim shares his personal story about how he met someone named Earl Schauff when he was 25 years old, who completely changed his life. Earl taught him some simple yet powerful concepts that he had never thought of before, which helped him to become successful.

One of the most important things Earl taught him was that success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person, and profits are better than wages. Jim realized that he could work on both a living and a fortune by starting to work part-time on his fortune while working full-time on his living.

This episode is filled with valuable nuggets  that can help anyone who is looking to achieve success in their life.
