What does it mean to truly experience great well-being and to live a great life? What are the important things that influence our happiness and our “human flourishing”? Tune in as I explore the concept of Eudaimonia and how it is so relevant to all of us!

This is a talk that I had with my good friend Hayden Smith a few months ago that I wanted to revisit. The internet is so powerful and it is able to do so much for us. I hope you all enjoy!

In this talk, I react to an article that I just read in a New York Times opinion piece about a different way of looking at all of the atrocities that we have seen here in the US. Not the guns, not the general mental health, but how we raise our boys. I give my thoughts here on why the way we raise our boys needs to change now and what specifically needs to change. I hope you all can engage in this message. I hope you can see how important it is to me in this talk.

Affective Forecasting is something that too few of us are conscious of. It is also something that too many of us experience and fail to see. Today, I discuss affective forecasting and it’s implications, along with why it’s so important to become aware of and change these thoughts that come from it. This may be a new concept for you, so I hope that you are able to make sense of my explanation and its implications!

This equation comes from Ray Dalio’s new book, Principles, and was one of the biggest lessons that I walked away with. Learning how to reflect on our painful and adverse experiences to move forward and progress is one of the most important skills that we can develop and practice. This lesson has been really impactful for me, so I really hope you all enjoy this talk!

To follow my previous talk about changing how we see failure, how can we learn how to cope with those failures once we start to attack them? At first, it’s bound to be difficult because of our previously ingrained mindsets and thoughts about what failure is. However, we CAN shape the way we see failure and we CAN improve the way we deal with it. Thanks for tuning in to all of you, it means the so much to me! PS - PLEASE subscribe to my podcast on Apple Podcasts, Anchor, Google Play, or wherever you get these podcasts. I would greatly appreciate it! Much love.

The central question to today’s podcast branches off from the previous one. Why do we avoid failure? Is avoiding failure good for us? In this talk, I explore these questions and dive into why the way in which a lot of us have been developed may have led us to see failure in a less than optimal way without us even knowing it.
