We‘ve Got a Problem

I’ve been thinking a lot about why we make decisions and how we can lean on the advice from smarter people instead of reinventing the wheel, and I ended up getting a chance to talk to Jason Merchey, founder of Values of the Wise and author of four books on wisdom, values, and virtues. With a background in clinical psychology, philosophy, and ethics, he seemed like just the person to give me some answers to fundamental questions.

We talked for almost and hour and got deep into the weeds on a few topics, but I’ve edited the episode down to give listeners/viewers a chance to get the broadest overview possible.

Leave a comment below or drop me a message on Instagram if you’d like to hear the longer conversation and I’ll consider posting it at some point in the future.

Colorado-based wedding/elopement photographer Alex Medvick joins us this week to share his engaging story and his belief that people are so much more than what they do for work, that people being people is the most important thing to capture on film, and why maybe everyone should go on a five week roadtrip across the country someday if they can.

Somebody's just told you to cut out certain foods.  Maybe you've just been diagnosed with a food allergy, sensitivity, or auto-immune condition.  What next?  How can you thrive without feeling like you've lost a big part of your life if you love food?

Listen in as Anthony & Staci Lo Cascio answer these questions and more in a thought-provoking, entertaining dive into the world of people with dietary restrictions with a focus on those currently on or prescribed a gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free and/or dairy-free diet.

Part 2 of 2: Check out Part 1 if you haven't heard it already for some background.  Kyler and Kody McCormick are two brothers on a mission to inspire youth to chase their dreams. Best described as adventure filmmakers, they travel the world in search of awe-inspiring stories. They’ve spoken on stages across the country sharing their story and encouraging others to live what they call the outbound life: a life where you believe your story matters and live beyond your limits. I was super impressed by their story, tenacity, and personality and wanted to share it all with you as well.
