We are in the season of giving and as the holidays usher in a frenetic pace of shopping, holiday parties, and other forms of festive activities, Steve’s thoughts are focused on capacity. Because life is so busy, and we have so many tasks and responsibilities heaped upon us, we tend to get distracted from fully developing the abilities, talents, and passions that we have been gifted.  In this episode Steve will talk about ways to both receive gifts and then develop them, so we can feel joy, love, and gratitude for the rich blessings of our lives.

If we choose to focus on the negative, we can fill our lives with a plethora of bad news, horrible stories, and feelings of fear.  It’s all around us—in the news, on social media, and laced in the conversations we have with others.  Similarly, when we are stuck within our own heads and focus on ourselves, we find an endless number of things that trouble us.  We wish we were skinnier, smarter, healthier, wealthier, more successful than we are.  We are upset because we didn’t get that promotion, offended because we weren’t included, or hurt because we thought we were more deserving.  To combat this negativity Steve Coughran shares a simple pattern that we can establish in our lives to invite a greater sense of gratitude.  

This time of year is a season of gift giving.  Some of the best gifts we can give are not bought online or from a store, they come from within.  In this episode Steve Coughran talks about the gift of forgiveness and how it has transformed his life by receiving it, and how humbles him as he tries to be good at giving it—even though it can be really difficult sometimes to forgive those who have intentionally done harm to him.  Learn how this powerful act can have a positive impact on our spiritual, emotional, and physical sides of life.

Have you ever wondered what makes a company really attractive to own, invest in, or sell?  In this episode Steve shares four things that makes a company really sexy.  Purpose-driven organizations with these ingredients centered around the right strategy can create tremendous value for both employees, customers, and owners.  Also, uncover why sticky revenue and sizable exits are important factors of a business and, if they are lacking, how to create them.  

How can we know what happiness is if we don’t know what sadness is?  How can we truly appreciate what we have if we don’t contrast it with the opposite?  In this episode Steve shares how moving out of state to take on a prestigious role at a large firm helped him to clarify his entrepreneurial purpose and cause through contrasting.  Unlike comparing, which is destructive, contrasting ourselves with role models and business rivals helps us to push beyond limits and reach our full potential.
