  • Disappointment, failure, and a pathway towards true lasting success [E171]

    What happens when you work hard and give your all and fail. The disappointment is real.

    There are two sources for these "failures":

    1) Other people didn't want what ever it was, or an uncontrollable circumstance happened, regardless wasn't your fault. Rejection can hurt.

    2) You didn't perform well enough. Ouch. 

    I'm not sure which is worse--but good news is there is a solution. 

    A solution that leaves you satisfied. Where as worldly ambition leaves you empty and wanting more. 

    Redefine success and failure today. 

    "Obedience over success." - Mother Teresa 

     Until next time… Be a purpose seeker, truth lover, and own your future.

  • Itamae, self mastery, and becoming a "change maker" [E170]

    Becoming an Itamae (a master Sushi Chef) is a long and difficult journey. But so is the path to fulfilling our destiny.

    The path to finding and fulfilling our purpose isn't clear or straight forward. It is one filled with pit falls and difficulties--which can derail people for their entire live.

    Listen as we learn how the path to becoming a Itamae is similar each of our life journeys to fulfill our destiny. Few people embark on the journey out of their comfort to pursue their purpose, destiny and calling . . . and even fewer people finish.

    The path is narrow--few find it, and many turn back.  

     Until next time… Be a change maker, pursue truth, and own the future.

  • Bounds and Domains of the Spheres of Culture and Society (Part 6) [E165]

    We finish up this three part answer from a question from the audience with discussing an important framework that enables us to understand and sort highly complex issues in culture and society. 

    We've have been building up to this frame work for some time now, and I'm excited for the chance to articulate this concept explicitly, which has been appearing implicitly in the thought processes of rational of the episodes since episode 1 of the podcast. 

    We discuss the seven different areas of culture (or spheres of society) 

    1. Religon
    2. Family
    3. Education
    4. Economics (science/tech)
    5. Art entertainment
    6. Media
    7. Government

    And how when one sphere becomes corrupt, oversteps, or abdicates isn't responsibilities toxin codependent relationship in society form and disaster is just around the corner. 

    I dive deeper specifically with how the education system grew out of alignment through wrongful influence of the business sphere (killing analytical creative thought processes that need to be taught in schools) and by government intervention through providing student loans (resulting in skyrocketing university cost).

  • Was America Founded on Racism and Slavery? And the dangers of social interventionism (Part 5) [E164]

    We continue to answer a question from a listener like you were we cover:

    • What was America REALLY founded on?
    • Jim Crow Laws
    • Brown vs. Board of Education
    • Neo-integrationism
    • Dunbar Highschool
    • Social interventionism
    • The Health Care System
    • Who started the KKK?
    • Who abolished Slavery?
    • When was slavery FIRST abolished in America?

    This isn't my favorite topic--as US History isn't my wheel house. It isn't my favorite--and for sure there is currently a lot of controversy around this topic, but it is a necessary topic to address, particularly government role in society and that dangers of interventionism.

    Society needs the freedom to self sort--even if we don't like the "results".

  • Systemic Oppression of Gender Pay Gap, Three levels of abstraction, and multi-variable analysis (Part 4) [E163]

    In this episode we field a question from the audience from Episode 160 on Social Justice.

    With that question we cover:

    • Are women systemically oppressed by the tyrannically patriarchy? Who REALLY makes more money--men or women?
    • Three Levels of Abstraction: object, experience and concept.
    • Importance on multi variable analysis.

    In order for us to answer the BIG questions about systemic racism, or sexism, or what the government to do about difference "social issues". We first must develop a health and correct world view on how the difference spheres of society (religion, government, family, education etc) should function and work together.

    We also must develop a level of analytical thinking that looks past the surface, uni-variable analysis of the issue as hand and understand why, with in free markets and free society, are certain decisions being made or why are certain groups seeming to get less or more of their "fair share of the pie".
