This week we discuss a technique created by Dr. Phil Stutz for dealing with situations and people that annoy, anger, or otherwise negatively influence us.

We've all been in a situation where that one person bothers you so much that anything they do or say sets you off. The problem with these situations is they negatively affect our mood for hours, days, or even weeks later.

This tool will help you preemptively de-stress before these interactions, or immediately shift to a more positive headspace after negative encounters.

This week is an introduction to winning teams: how to build them, how to support them, and what goes into maintaining them.

People respond to incentives, and you must make sure that everyone on your team is playing the same game. The best teams are ones in which everyone wants to win, and that is incentive enough for them to take pride in their work.

We also discuss the dangers of putting lazy people on winning teams; nothing kills culture faster than someone not pulling their weight on a team of winners.

I recently tried to launch a startup and, after close to 2 years of work from planning, to hiring, to building, etc. had to shut things down.

While this failure stung, it taught me many lessons about the importance of failure and the lessons it can teach us. I also share personal stories about what I've learned about failure from others, and how one door closing often opens up many doors we weren't aware of.

Success is simply the end result of failing enough times to ultimately be successful.

Taking time to define the character traits and values that are important to you is a helpful exercise. We often go through life with no clear sense of who we want to be, despite often knowing what we want to accomplish.

How can you know what goals to pursue if you don't understand how those goals align with your ideal sense of self? This week, we discuss a strategy for defining your personal ethos, values, and purpose.

Energy is a tangible component of how we feel on a daily basis and how we interact with those around us. This week we discuss the importance of surrounding ourselves with people who give off the right energy, while also being mindful of the energy we put out into the world.

As Sahil Bloom says, we can increase our luck by increasing our "luck surface area" -- this means giving ourselves access to more opportunities based on where we live, who we know, and how prepared we are.

Opportunity comes to those who are prepared and bold. We must lay the groundwork by educating ourselves, acquiring skills, and practicing for countless hours. That way, when that opportunity comes, you'll be ready to seize it.

Closed mouths don't get fed. So if you want something in this life, you need to go after it with confidence and preparation.

Every decision we make costs us a different decision that we could be making. Thinking of things in terms of opportunity cost can be helpful for acting in alignment with our values and our goals.

Matthew McConnaughey has a great framework for these decisions called "a quick no, and a long yes" that has served him well. This week, we discuss this framework as well as a related framework on increasing our "luck surface area."

When I was younger, I thought being tough was about physical toughness, violence, and conflict. As I grew older, I realized that I was deficient in emotional intelligence.

After spending time working on my own emotions, toughness took on an entirely different meaning. Toughness is about so much more than society would have us think, and this week we explore those topics in depth.

Life is composed of so many small moments that we often miss. If you think back to your greatest memories with those in your life, it's probably the small, seemingly insignificant details that you remember the most.

I recently had the chance to go on safari in South Africa with my wife. While there, we learned some incredible life lessons from someone on the game reserve. We also got to experience a magical moment with an elderly man's birthday celebration.

No one cares about you or what you're doing. I don't say this to be harsh. I say this to inspire you...

...to walk your authentic path, to pursue what interests you, to be unapologetically you.

We often let the perception of others or feedback from others dictate our decisions in life. This episode is my call to live the life you want, not the life others want for you.
