The Relentless Pursuit Podcast

When we're young, we worry about what people think. As we grow up, we stop worrying so much. And when we're old...we realize no one was thinking about us in the first place. 

October starts the fourth quarter the year. The fourth quarter! That means it's "go time." Time to push hard, dig deep, and finish our year strong. What goals did you start 2024 with? Now it's time to push hard and feel proud of ourselves on December 31. 

Election years in America are known for causing stress, division, and confusion. On this season's finale episode, we talk about how true Relentless Pursuers can stay engaged in the democratic process while maintaining their health, sanity, and fidelity to what they believe is best for themselves and the nation. 

When we trust our gut, there are little warning bells that sometimes go off that tell us perhaps we should proceed with caution. In today's conversation, we list (a little tongue-in-cheek) some of the flags we identify in others, and some of the flags we confess to having in ourselves. 

Our oldest child is 14 years old and starting high school, and he has been asking to get a SnapChat account. We've resisted, and now we are officially deciding if it's time yet to allow him to enter the world of social media. 

When you combine yourself with something that is more than just you as an individual, you are locking your futures and your outcomes together. Marriage is perhaps the best illustration of two people syncing their lives 0- and their futures - with one another. 

How much of your time is spent with media and entertainment? What is the quality and the format of all that content you're consuming? We compare our media consumption to a diet, reflecting on what is good for us or what might be downright harmful. 

"Be careful, little eyes, what you see" is the old advice to our own eyes to make sure that they are not exposing themselves to things that harm us. In this episode we discuss what kinds of media and entertainment we're regularly exposing ourselves to, and consider the CONTENT and FORMATS that may or may not be so good for us to consume.

We come to terms with the ultimate truth of the phrase "we are what we eat," and we cautiously explore what we are really putting into our bodies. 

We discuss the passive influence our environment has over us - from our photos to our food to our clutter - and how we can exert control over the factors that control us.
