Today we’re going to talk about Polymaths and why they’re important to our culture and the shift that occurs in the presence of polymaths and their abilities. Nikola Tesla, George Washington Carver, Leonardo Davinci… All people who had seemingly endless skills and understanding of the world around them. All of them also people who shifted the world and culture around them.

Polymaths are some of the most influential people in our culture and there’s a thing or two we can learn from them.

Hello Everybody! Life Designed is shifting and moving up. Taking it’s steps one at a time.

This will be the last Life Refreshed Podcast. Moving forward we will be “Shifts and Ladders”.

Thought it was fitting, since in life we’re constantly going through shifts and the ladders those shifts bring.

In Today’s episode we’re chatting about the ladders that present in our lives, the fears they can bring and what we can learn from them.

Hope to see you next week on Shifts and Ladders.

There are a lot of shifts happening in our daily lives at any given time, but have you ever taken the time to think about why those shifts are happening? Whether it’s cultural, personal or spiritual?

Let’s talk about Shifts and the reason they happen in our lives.

The pursuit of more could be costing you greatness. We love more stuff & everything else that comes with the word “More” but intentionality suffers as a result of it.

Chances are we need to to dial it back and be more careful and purposeful in what we pursue. The Essentials.

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of less.

Ultimately, there’s only one thing that dictates whether the mighty, a person or company, fall from the top of their grace.

Hubris.

A person or business that carries a sense of hubris about their past will eventually fall. They think that they can’t do wrong because they are comfortable and they think that things will always work out.

What they fail to realize is that eventually, the past is no longer good enough and they either have to adapt or go extinct.

Let go of your hubris and learn to change with the new things coming in. It is the only way for Growth to occur.

Comparison is such an insidious thing. It can take genuinely well deserved compliments and achievements and turn them into throwaway moments that you never really get to enjoy.

Life is about celebrating the person God designed you to be, he made you and he made you well.

Enjoy that and don’t let it infect your life or take your calling away from you.

Let’s be honest, we do a lot of talking to make ourselves feel better, and in that talking we stop focusing on the thing that matters most.

Actually doing the work. Let’s stop lying to ourselves and Do the work.

Scripture referenced:

– Proverbs 6:6

– Proverbs 24

There’s a reason that faith is often compared to a seed of mustard. They’re almost unimaginable tiny. 2mm, actually. but they grow into huge, huge trees.

Faith is incredibly potent. So is your potential to better yourself and grow.

Let your faith germinate and spread into the people around you so that it enhances the potential inside of you. Even if it is as small as a seed of mustard.

Scripture referenced:

Matthew 17:14

I told you we’d be back with more interviews.

Today a friend of the pod joins us to talk about his experience in building his passive income Business. He sells real estate for billboards. Today we ask him about how he got started with his business and how the word of God has helped him through this journey and inspired his growth.

The Want More Project

We’re back again exploring the idea of Value Exchange in our relationships.

Are you going to continue putting yourself at a discount or are you raising your prices to what you’re actually worth?

a huge amount of people are constantly selling themselves short as a result of not wanting to increase their worth in fear of losing people that often don’t value them enough.

Move on to people that are willing to exchange with the actual value both you and them are worth.
