Richard Leider: The Pope Of Purpose On How To Better Understand Your Callings and Gifts 1:35:07

39m ago1:35:07

1:35:07

Nothing drives us like a purpose. We love stories of epic circumstances that led to heroic acts. Whether it’s Martin Luther King or your favorite fictional superhero who saves the world. Yet most of us lead lives that don’t feel so epic and the idea of having a purpose can sound far fetched and yes, even fictional. I feel the topic has gotten so di…

Why We Love The Olympics & How We Can Emulate It In Our Own Lives 14:33

42m ago14:33

14:33

We watch the Olympics because it inspires us. Watching people give it their all just touches us at a soul level. Being brought to the very limit of our ability and pulling through is a deep, human experience. Some of us have experienced this from a voluntary activity like sports. Some of you have experienced it from trauma and being victimized. Now…

Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs - What If We Were All Rated? 17:20

32m ago17:20

17:20

I’m taking aim at Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Maslow first introduced the concept of a hierarchy of needs in his 1943 paper, titled "A Theory of Human Motivation.” The point was to showcase that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs. What I want you to pay attention to and consider is th…

What Jerry Seinfeld Teaches Us About Our Current & Future Selves 14:26

2d ago14:26

14:26

I’ve long been curious about the difference in our immediate drive and our future drive. I often refer to it as our appetites. We have the appetite of what I want right now, and what I want in the future, and they don’t often align. Right now I want to eat that donut. In the future I want to lose weight. And the conflict. We think it takes self dis…

Bill Weir: Our Story Effects The Planet & How And Why To Do Anything That Matters 1:51:46

2d ago1:51:46

1:51:46

I’m more focused than ever on how our personal stories are what drives us. Part of my own story is care and concern for our planet. Not because I’m so altruistic, but I adore the outdoors. It’s my playground and I selfishly want it conserved and protected so I can keep enjoying it…and my grandkids can as well. So I’m driven to help conserve and pro…

What Attracts Us To Our Work vs What Keeps Us There 1:16:36

35m ago1:16:36

1:16:36

We are driven to our work for many reasons. Those reasons we go into the job, the career, or the business are what dictate our overall happiness and success, yet most of us go after it for the wrong reasons, and suffer for it. This is a show anyone working will want to listen to, but I’ll tell you, I feel it should be a requirement for today’s yout…

Start Your Journey To Wisdom By Shifting From Directing Yourself To Understanding Yourself 13:34

24m ago13:34

13:34

I’ve spent a lifetime labeled as a high achiever. High performer. I bet you have as well. We have become experts in doing things. Going after things. Getting things done. And there are benefits to this. And yet the consummate mid life crisis is often a result of using ourselves as a tool and not knowing ourselves at all. In my recent conversation w…

Self-Protection: Why You Want To Admit To It & How To Balance It For Your Good 12:34

6d ago12:34

12:34

Something happens in your life. A stimulus if you will. Something happens, somebody says or does something, and you have an immediate and uncontrollable reaction. Boom. This is natural and it is the human experience. Here is what happens though. Your brain does what it’s made to do. It attaches meaning to what happened. It creates a story based upo…

Stop Fighting Yourself & Learn How To Honor And Manage Your Natural Reactions 15:29

1h ago15:29

15:29

There is a common belief and drive that we have good and bad in us. That we are at war with our flesh. We mean well but we fall to this darkness inside of us. I’m a spiritual guy who has placed faith in Jesus. Just my personal decision. I have decided to put faith in the existence of good and evil. But here I’m going to step outside and look at thi…

#250: Real World Data (RWD) Lessons from Healthcare-land with Dr. Lewis Carpenter 1:05:02

1d ago1:05:02

1:05:02

A claim: in the world of business analytics, the default/primary source of data is real world data collected through some form of observation or tracking. Occasionally, when the stakes are sufficiently high and we need stronger evidence, we’ll run some form of controlled experiment, like an A/B test. Contrast that with the world of healthcare, wher…

Dick Schwartz: You Are A Multiple Personality & How To Use All Your Parts To Heal Yourself 1:51:44

1d ago1:51:44

1:51:44

In this episode I have a paradigm shift that will alter your drive. We are all raised in the mono-mind belief system, the idea that we have one mind, and from this one mind we have an infinite amount of differing thoughts and emotions and impulses and urges. That we often feel are competing against each other. We think of our good selves and our ba…

Chad Jeffers: Find Out What Drives Carrie Underwood’s Guitarist of 17 years & How You Can Flourish On Your Own Stage 1:05:20

3d ago1:05:20

1:05:20

I’m looking at what drives someone who is on some of the biggest stages in the world, and the examples we can apply to our own lives. I’m curious about celebrities, and it seems we all are. My curiosity is around why we generally think they have something we don’t. How they got something we don’t have. And we often think of them as more driven than…

Drunk, Drugged, Dementia & Dying - How To Find Out If You Are Living Out A Persona Or Are Being The Authentic You 13:42

12m ago13:42

13:42

I’m looking at who you are when you’re uninhibited, because it’s a tell-tale sign of what is really driving you. And so often we are blind. I’m not making light of being drunk, drugged, having dementia or dying, but these are methods or altered states that generally bring down people’s shields and we see what is underneath the persona. I’ve witness…

Making These Preparations May Motivate 80% Of People Better Than Goal Setting 13:57

14m ago13:57

13:57

In this episode I’m looking at a concept that may be far more effective for motivating us than goal setting. There was a study that showed 80% of people are more motivated by problem solving than goals. What is a problem to consider? Dying. Imagine if you knew you had one year to live? What would you want to do? What would you stop doing? What woul…

Alua Arthur: How Considering Your Death Will Improve Your Life 1:50:44

1h ago1:50:44

1:50:44

The point of this podcast is to better fuel your drive so you achieve more fulfillment. I’ve met few people who want to talk about death. We avoid it like…death. It’s black and dark and to be feared. At least in our culture. But seven months ago my Dad got a surprise cancer diagnosis, and he died six weeks later. I was fortunate to walk with him da…

Valerie Burton: How To Stop Being Driven By Guilt 1:08:31

1d ago1:08:31

1:08:31

Guilt is a primary hidden driver that we’ve accepted as a norm. How much of your lives and actions are being driven by this life draining motive? Probably more than you are aware of. But why, is the question. And how can you stop it? I’m with Valorie Burton. Valorie is founder of the Coaching and Positive Psychology (CaPP) Institute and has written…

Consider What Duties Of Your Life You Can Delegate So You Can Do More Of What Inspires You 14:54

21d ago14:54

14:54

I don’t know many people who are sitting around bored. Who have ample free time and lots of margin. Between work, self-care, parenting, home and car maintenance and even socializing and entertainment, we generally have more we want to do and get done than time allows. So we stay at status quo and can feel fairly stuck. What’s interesting is we love…

Consumer Alert: You Will Become Great By Creating…Not Consuming 16:13

22d ago16:13

16:13

This is a warning for our culture as we are falling into a mode of far more consuming and far less creating. Two episodes ago I had business strategist and purpose expert, Mike Zeller, author of The Genius Within. A profound statement he wrote in his book, that I find to be a great challenge to us all, is this, “You don’t become great by reading ot…

Debunking 2 Purpose Myths: Your Purpose Will Not Be All Play Or All Drudgery 18:37

4d ago18:37

18:37

We frequently hurt our pursuit of purpose with two, polarized myths. One is that our purpose will be nothing but fun and play and passion. Or two, that our great purpose, our mission in life, will be great toil and sacrifice. After having over 250 of our world’s most influential people on this show, I haven’t found any who felt what they did was al…

How good are humans at distinguishing between human-generated thoughts and AI-generated…thoughts?

Mike Zeller: Four Steps To Clarify Your Zone Of Genius & Realize Your Purpose Is Not Limited To One Thing 2:00:25

5d ago2:00:25

2:00:25

We’d all like to know the one assignment, the mission, the purpose that was just for us. That we were made for. We’d like a stone tablet to fall out of the sky that said, “This is what you are here to do. Go do it.” What confidence we’d have! We love to watch movies where life and death is on the line and it’s clear what everyone needs to do. But l…

How To Better Process Your Food For More Energy & Better Performance 1:09:24

28d ago1:09:24

1:09:24

Clinically we hear about gut health and the microbiome. I’m not a doctor. So in layman's terms, the idea is, we eat food. We chew it up and swallow and it goes down into our system. The processing plant. How is the processing plant doing? Is it able to break things down? Get out nutrients? Turn things into energy and vitality? I’m with Randy James,…

Avoid Burnout In Your Work & Relationships By Not Enduring All The Little Cuts 15:23

9d ago15:23

15:23

We often find ourselves at the end of our rope, burnt out in our work or a relationship, usually citing some game ending event or circumstance. When in reality, this was building up for a long time. I’m still pondering insights from my conversation with Mark Groves, Human Connection Specialist and founder of Create the Love. He’s host of the Mark G…

You Must Find Yourself Because You Have Never Known Yourself 16:46

20d ago16:46

We all desire to be our authentic selves. To be our fullest selves. You hear these messages and promises from the personal growth industry because it's such a desire of aspiring people like you and me. Many message talk about coming back to yourself and finding yourself again. In my experience however, we have never been close to being our true sel…
