Today’s podcast is a brief reflection on Election Day with a few recommendations for how to approach it. It’s simple, but I think it gets to the core of two important pieces of what problems we are facing as a society in our politics. I hope you find it to be useful and easily applicable in your life. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a reflection on a new song by an artist who I really appreciated called Bazzi. On his new album, Infinite Dream, he has a beautiful, short song called Human. He says a lot of really thought provoking things in the song, which I wanted to take some time to discuss today on this 600th episode. I hope you enjoy it and find the messages to be valuable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about taking the extra step. Whether it be in our work, in developing political and religious beliefs, or any other domain of life, our natural instinct is frequently to get to the desired outcome with minimal personal investment and expenditure. I take the time in this episode to talk through why that instinct is flawed and why we benefit from going against it, which I hope you find to be compelling. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s episode is dark, yet I think very important to come back to and acknowledge. There is so much pain and suffering in this world, which we frequently don’t see in the developed world. This acknowledgment is really powerful to ground ourselves in reality and to also develop a deeper sense of gratitude for our circumstances. I hope you find this to be a meaningful reflection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a special one. I finally sit down with my brother to talk about his life journey, his best family memories, the good and bad times, and our relationship. It’s one of the best and most meaningful conversations we’ve ever had, so I hope you take some time to listen. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is short and sweet. I read a quote in an email from an email list I subscribe to that said that we are more often pulled down by poor positionality than we are by poor decisions. This quote spoke to me, so I wanted to take some time to reflect on it here. I hope you find it to be a valuable point to consider. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is a framework for making decisions. When something really big and really difficult appears before us in life, how do we confront it? What parameters do we use to make those choices? Can we have a consistent set of parameters we consistently return to each time that can help us to navigate these challenges more efficiently? I think the answer is yes, which I discuss in this episode. I hope you find it to be a good answer that is applicable in your life. Thank you for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

Today’s podcast is about uniqueness and the ways we should strive to make ourselves unique, whether it be in the world or in our communities and networks. It’s a topic I have thought about a lot, so I hope this short episode does it justice and perhaps gets you interested in the idea. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.
