Zen Sammich

What makes you flinch?

A cold shower? The idea of starting your own business? Talking to someone you are attracted to? Walking away from a relationship?

In this transformational episode, I challenge us all to embrace what scares us, knowing in our hearts that it is something we should do.

"Let go of the way you would like things to go."

- Andee Scarantino

As your experience is happening, just be in it. That sounds easy enough, but why is it so difficult to do?

Andee Scarantino returns to Zen Sammich and, of course, she doesn’t hold anything back. 

Her transparency is not only refreshing, it actually demonstrates the point she is making: To be WHEN you are more than who you think you are supposed to be.

Finding your "purpose" in life is a concept that is far too often misunderstood.

You don't find it out there in the cosmos somewhere. You create it. Here's how you go about compiling your diversified purpose portfolio in life.

“Most people do not know what they want in their life. They’re just drifting from day-to-day." - Mimi Bland

How do we stop drifting? Well, the questions you ask yourself are of critical importance.

Best selling author of "The Answer is You," Mimi Bland, discusses why we don't allow the things we truly want to happen and how to start "being the scientist of your own life."

Exercise is usually not much fun. Even when it IS enjoyable, it remains a challenge.

The mental exercise contained within is something that EVERYONE should engage in. 

And just as form is significant during physical exercise, the WAY you do this one is critically important.

“Have some fun, do some good, and just don’t bore me.”

Earl Bridges embodies that mantra for life and then some.

He is a “philanthropologist,” meaning that in his PBS TV show, “The Good Road,” he travels the world unearthing stories about people who are doing good without any concern for their well-being.

From stories about filming in places of civil unrest to almost getting ‘smushed’ by the world’s largest elephant in Kenya, this is a don’t-miss episode.

Follow his adventures on The Good Road here: https://www.youtube.com/@thegoodroadtv

We hear the philosophy “embrace your mistakes” or “failure is the path to success” all the time.

Maybe. But, it still sucks to fail. 

Failure is painful no matter how much cheerleading we give ourselves or receive from the sidelines.

I think it’s more useful to acknowledge and accept our mistakes and failures as necessary, even if a bit painful at times.

The real question is: For what cause or benefit are you willing to endure a few defeats?

Bill Jordan embodies the essence of an everyday man or woman's philosopher.

A radio personality for over 4 decades and a voiceover artist, with over 25,400+ days of survival (about 70-ish years or thereabouts), he is still learning, growing, and breaking personal records.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski - coach of the US National Basketball Team and winner of 5 national titles with the Duke Blue Devils - knows a little something about winning in life and wrote the introduction to Bill’s book “Embrace The Boom”.

We talk about how to create and maintain habits in life, a few celebrity stories, and the beauty of getting older.

Why do most of us stop drawing after childhood?

Are we missing out on something by not tapping into that creative energy and curiosity?

You dang right we are. In this short episode, I explore why we ever stopped drawing in the first place, the benefits of drawing, and, most importantly, how to get started doing it again.

There is, of course, a bigger picture here than just drawing. The lesson here applies to your whole life as well.
