  • 83 - Life Lessons from a Truly Iconic Arcade Game

    I want you to take a little trip down memory lane with me, back to those golden years between elementary and high school. My “golden years” were iconic in more ways than one. Recently I was thinking about some of the things that defined those years for me, and I realized that—believe it or not—one of the most iconic arcade games of all time actually makes a perfect analogy for how life and our brains work! Skeptical? Well, as all the cool kids used to say back in the day, take a “chill pill,” hit that play button, and then afterwards, let me know if I made the trip worthwhile!

  • 82 - Is ‘Speaking Your Truth’ the Most Powerful Tool You Have?

    Chances are, either you yourself, someone you know, or at the very least, someone you’ve read or listened to, has used the phrase “your truth” or “my truth.” And the first time you heard someone use one (or both), you probably found yourself a little confused.

    But over the past few years, those phrases have become so common that it’s hard to imagine they haven’t always been part of everyday English language and conversation.

    So, what’s the story behind them, and—more importantly—are they a new powerful tool that you should add to your self-development arsenal?

  • 81 - Why Are You Even Here?

    I recently heard an Instagram influencer (meaning he has 2.6m followers) who said, “You were MADE for greatness! You were BORN for greatness. You weren’t made for average or ordinary.”

    So, what exactly does it mean to be GREAT … a great man, a great woman, a great parent, a great friend, a great leader, a great student, a great artist, doctor, teacher, salesman, musician, athlete, speaker …?

    If you’ve ever struggled with the thought or even pressure of “GREATNESS” and whether or not you could achieve such lofty ideals, then this episode may be just the information and inspiration you’ve been waiting/searching for. Here’s why: I believe you were made for MORE than greatness … MUCH more. SO much more.

  • 80 - What Is Gaslighting and Why It Should Matter To EVERYONE

    There’s a new, uber-powerful buzzword in town, and its name is “Gaslighting.” In fact, it’s hard to jump on the internet or turn on the TV or radio without someone mentioning either being gaslit or complaining about this or that person gaslighting others. But as is often the case with buzzwords, the true meaning can get lost amidst the noise of abundant usage. So in this episode, I dig into some expert opinions on what gaslighting is and why I think it’s so important for us all to understand it and be aware of it.

  • 79 - Is "Be Yourself" Good Advice … or Not?

    Apparently, this is a debate that has raged for some time in the psychological community. I think it’s an interesting topic. (I think what’s even MORE interesting is what this particular topic has to do with Easter! I’ll also touch on that in this episode.) It certainly is a topic that has become widespread throughout modern American culture. It’s hard to imagine how any self-help guru on the planet could stay in business if this were bad advice. So much of what is being taught is founded on at least some version of this pithy mantra. It was even one of the core concepts behind one of my all-time favorite animated movies from the 90s, Aladdin. (Can you hear Robin Williams as the Genie/Bee saying to Aladdin, “Just beeeeeeee yourself!”) This episode won’t end the debate, but, hopefully, it will give you a unique perspective to think about!
