There are annoying people everywhere in the world and what are you supposed to do when one crosses you while crossing your path?  You’ve got it together.  You’re kind to people.  Not much gets under your skin.  But, every once in awhile, somebody just pushes your button.  Grabbing you by the collar they take you off your high and drag you down to their low.  What do you do then?  When, through no fault of your own, you’re suddenly angry and ready to retaliate.  What can you do... When People Piss You Off!?

Mordant & Kirsten open the show with tales of irascible ire and irritation.  From people cutting them off in traffic to cursing them out in the parking lot, both your favorite Success Freaks have had their hands full with keeping their tempers while under duress.  Did they manage to do it?  Sometimes, but not always.  Listen in to this episode and get an earful on how to deal with these stressful in-your-face situations.  Sometimes the answer is taking a breath.  Sometimes, it’s trying to see the “other guy’s” point of view.  Or sometimes… you just gotta move on.  Find out for yourself what to do… When People Piss You Off.

What’s up with millennials today!?  Or, so many of us for that matter!  Ever feel like they wear their the-world-owes-me attitude like a badge of honor?  They work hard (sometimes), putting in a good two-hour’s effort, then proclaim loudly how unfair it all is and quit.  Sound familiar to you?  How about from you?  Where did all this Entitlement come from in the first place… and how close to home does it hit?  Were we so coddled as children we have a hard time coping with the slightest amount of pushback from the job?  People around us?  The Universe!?  Have we become such babies or is this the natural way of things in the 21st Century?

Mordant & Kirsten tackle Entitlement, Parental Coddling, Trigger Words on the College Campus, and more in this episode of Success Freaks.  If you’ve ever wondered what to do about spoiled friends & family members and how they/we got that way, this is the show for you.

Stuff is broken in your life and it needs fixing.  From your washing machine just dribbling cold water, to your driver-side car window not rolling down (or back up again), to your computer going kerflooey…again!  How can you not complain about all the wrong that’s not right in your life!?  How do you draw the line, pump the breaks, and stop that downward spiral that comes from too much complaining and not enough setting things straight?  Less Bitching, More Fixing is not only this episode’s title, it’s an affirmation, a mantra, your battle cry for changing things for the better in your life.

Join Mordant & Kirsten as they share what’s been on the fritz in their lives.  They talk about some of their problems and how they’re going about fixing them.  If you ever needed motivation to try doing it yourself, Less Bitching, More Fixing is the episode for you.  Check things out on the DIY-side of life!
