The Overcoming Odds Podcast

Choose the type of life you want to live or someone else will choose it for you.

You might have heard a statement like this many times … you might have even come across people who are either living one or the other.

But, have you ever taken the time to answer such question yourself?

Did you choose the life you are living or was it chosen for you?

How do you know if you’re living life on your own terms or in the image of what others think you should be?

Do believe you have the power to choose the type of life you want to live today?

What makes living life on one’s own terms possible for some and not others?

What choices are you making today to create your own story?

Join us August 20th, 10:45 AM CST, as we, Scott Mason and Oleg Lougheed, explore ways to live life to the fullest, how choices affect the future, and other related topics.

It has been said that a word, uttered with a voice, created the world ... and that a voice will end it, too.

True or not: that is the power of a #voice.

Everyday, millions of people use their voice to communicate their needs, beliefs, and deepest desires: they even use it to change the future.

Yet, how many truly understand the power of such an awesome resource?

The type of resource that can create or destroy at the same exact time.

The type of resource that turn war into peace … illegal into legal … agree to disagree … life into death … the list goes on and on.

How do you choose to use your voice?

Does your voice amplify, invite or limit someone else’s voice?

Let your voice be heard by joining us on August 13th at 10:45 AM CST, as we (Casey Berman, Scott Mason and Oleg Lougheed) explore the different ways voice can be used, the impact of our voice on others, the difference between having a voice and being heard, and other related topics.

Do you believe your story can change the world?

What makes you believe that such story is possible?

Do you believe that you can be the person to create and live such story? If so, why? If not, why not?

For years, many people have tried to crack the code of effective #storytelling.

The type of storytelling that can change one’s inner and outer world.

Some claim to have found it.

Others are still searching for it.

What makes up such deep belief? Or is it simply a speculation? Or is it something more? Something one can grasp with the palm of their hand?

Join us on August 6th, 10:45 AM CST, as we explore techniques for effective storytelling, how stories can inspire action, how stories can generate the next big idea, and other related topics.

Help us create a story that will at least change our world, the hosts and the audience.

What is the difference between listening to respond and listening to understand?

What does it mean to listen to respond?

What are the 3 A's of active listening?

Tune in, as Dr. Mark Goulston and Oleg, dive deep into how to listen respectfully, listen without reacting, and other related topics.

“Everybody should be afraid of something.”

MYTH or TRUTH? (Share your thoughts below)

Thousands if not MILLIONS of conversations take place everyday about day-to-day #fears.

Just as many if not more focus on ways one SHOULD NOT be afraid of those fears.

⭐️ Fear of heights 🏔

⭐️ Fear of flying ✈️

⭐️ Fear of spiders 🕷

⭐️ Fear of thunder and lightning 🌩

⭐️ Fear of being alone 👤

⭐️ Fear of crowded spaces 👥👥

⭐️ Fear of blood 🩸

⭐️ Fear of snakes 🐍 … the list goes on and on.

Within minutes of browsing the #web, each fear could be paired with a possible solution to #overcoming it.

One could argue, such ease of information is the beauty and the curse of the 21st century.

Although, many of us at Overcoming Odds, share similar beliefs when it comes to facing one’s fears, we can’t help but think of the other side.

What are the things one SHOULD be afraid of?

Losing loved ones 💔?

Cancer 🫁?

Nuclear war 💣?

Aliens 👽?

Why should one be afraid of those things?

What is the reasoning behind it?

However, if there is one thing you should not be afraid of it is joining us and sharing your insights on July 30th, 10:45 AM CST, as we (Casey Berman, Scott Mason, and Oleg Lougheed), explore things one should be afraid of and the reasoning behind it, the origins of such fears, and other related topics.

A wise person once said, “Your life is a #story of transitions. You are always leaving one chapter behind while moving on to the next.”

#Transition: a concept experienced by many if not all individuals walking the face the Earth.

Yet, each and every single individual may have a completely different interpretation of their meaning.

To some, transitions may include getting married or starting a new relationship.

To others, transitions may include changing jobs.

What have been the major transitions in your life?

Join us, July 23rd, 10:45 AM CST, as Scott Mason, Casey Berman, and Oleg Lougheed, explore the major transitions in their lives, what they have learned from such transitions, the difficulties certain transitions present and not others, and other related topics.

What is the ultimate power of a single #story?

Can it truly #change a life?

Millions who have walked the face of the Earth have tried to crack the code … to find the perfect formula.

Yet, decades later, many are still searching for it.

What ultimately contributes toward creating that story or personal #narrative?

Can it be so powerful that it works against you: holds you back from who you want to be?

How does one know when to break away from it?

Join us, July 16, 10:45 AM CST, as Scott Mason, Casey Berman, and Oleg Lougheed, discuss the role personal narrative has in the unfolding of one’s life, ways to let go of stories that no longer serve you, and other related topics.
