After a lifetime in personal development and five years investigating and talking with the top leaders in personal development, I believe we are, all of us, so often missing the root issues of our own personal growth and progress. The following show is an overview of a larger initiative I am working on. I am not a patient man and in this episode I talk you through the highlights I believe will help you better address the root issues of you and vastly increase your progress. I’ll give you the punchline right here as well. I’m going to start by explaining what I mean by “symptomatic self help” and walk you in to these five points, 1) What do you want?, 2) What do you want to want?, 3) What do you not actually even want, you just think you should want?, 4) What do you believe and have faith in?, 5) And last, what will you decide to believe and have faith in, because as you'll hear, I staunchly believe they are just that...decisions.

We are driven to connect. And be connected to. There has never been more communication available and coming at us than today. And yet we have more isolation and loneliness than ever. It’s similar to food. In America we are massively overfed. We are bigger and heavier than ever. And yet we are chronically undernourished. We eat but don’t nourish. Likewise, we communicate, but we don’t connect. What is the difference? And what can we do? Drive with me a moment.

How To Connect Instead Of Merely Communicate & 3 Steps To Connect On A Podcast

Here is a business story, that is really a humanitarian story, but overall is an incredible story of drive I believe you’ll be inspired and equipped by. The story would make a great movie, and since my guest actually roomed with Matt Damon in college, it just might become one. James Rhee’s parents migrated to America from Korea. James was driven to excel and please his parents, so he got into Harvard. But he really wanted to teach, so he then taught high school for a couple years. Some of his most rewarding years he says. But then he went back to Harvard and graduated from law school. But he realized he didn’t want to be a lawyer so he became an investment banker. He did well, but realized he didn’t want to do that either. So he worked in private equity. He did well. Very well. He appreciated helping businesses, but didn’t like how disconnected he was from everything. So he quit and didn’t know what to do. Then he ends up in an unlikely place - as CEO of Ashley Stewart, a fashion retailer that served plus-size, predominantly middle- and lower-income Black women. And the company was at its end. The death knell had sounded. James came in for what was supposed to be six months because he felt an obligation to help. He ended up there for seven years with a miracle turnaround story that he’s now described in a book called Red Helicopter: Lead Change With Kindness. You'll hear a very personal story of James' drive, from healthy to unhealthy. You'll hear about how Ashley Stewart went from death to stardom because it became a place and brand of belonging, not fashion. You'll hear how success came, not from communication, but connection. And most of all you'll hear how goodwill is the bridge to not only wild success, but abiding joy. Today James Rhee teaches at Howard University, MIT Sloan School of Management, and Duke Law School. His TED Talk and Dare to Lead interview with Brené Brown have reached millions. It was an honor to spend a couple hours with him and as you’ll hear at the end of the show we’re planning a t-shirt campaign together to advocate for the “analog life!”

James Rhee | How To Turn A National Chain Store & A Life Around By Being Kind - And Doing Some Math

In our quest for health and wellness and looking at the food we eat, how we exercise and sleep and addressing our mental health, we often miss two primary areas of consumption; what we are breathing and drinking. I just want to trust that overall what I breathe and drink is ok and my body can handle it. It can, but it’s not optimal. My body can exist on cheetos and coke as well, but it won’t be optimal. I want my physical body at it’s best to support my overall drive. To dig into these subjects I brought in an expert, Peter Spiegel. Peter worked on an organic farm. He taught meditation. He learned Chinese medicine and taught it to doctors in London. He started and sold a natural foods company. From all this he ultimately devoted himself to clean air and water and I wanted to know why. You’re about to get a master class in the air we breathe and the water we drink, in all forms, and why you’ll best serve your drive to clean them both. We spend most of our time talking about air and water, but you’ll also hear us mention his products to address both. Peter founded a company called Ideal Living which provides the AirDoctor for cleaning your air and AquaTru which cleans your water. If you’re interested you can head to idealliving.com/DRIVE to receive up to 40% off air purifiers and 20% off water purifiers! Exclusive to podcast listeners, you will also receive a free 3 year extended warranty on any AirDoctor, which is an additional $84 value. Get the special offer by going to I-D-E-A-L-L-I-V-I-N-G dot com slash D-R-I-V-E. Up next, Peter and I dive into the truth about the air you breathe and water you drink!

Clean Air & Water Crusador Peter Spiegel | How To Protect What You Breathe & Drink

For some reason unknown to me, narcissism is the new label slapped on anyone we feel is being selfish. And yes, I’ve had it attributed to me. And I feel it about others as well. In an article from the Center for Neurocognitive Excellence, they way a simple definition of narcissism would be an over-preoccupation with ourselves or being overly desirous of the praise or admiration of others to the extent that it negatively impacts our relationships. I’ve not met anyone who doesn’t display these tendencies from time to time. But if we really want the praise or admiration of others, but want to positively impact ourselves most, and positively impact others, we’d choose kindness. It proves to be the ultimate weapon. Drive with me a moment to explain how you can serve yourself best, from getting praise to making more money to finding more romance, by being kind.

How To Embrace Kindness As The New & Evolved Narcissism

We are born into this world and we just take it in. It’s all we can do. We’re brought up and told what to do. Sent to school to learn the basics and pass tests, then on into the world to maybe get more schooling then ultimately get a job and pay the bills. The average person pursues little learning and growth as they just churn through life. Now, that’s not you or you wouldn’t be here listening. And by being here I know you have engaged with the first level of thinking. But what about level two? And further…level three? You don’t achieve them naturally. And you don’t arrive at them and you’re done. It’s a daily, intentional effort. Drive with me and let’s get them in front of us and working for us.
