I’m closing this week with Letter 15 Of Eric Greitens’ book “Resilience.” This Letter is probably the most important in my life right now bc I’ve done a poor job reflecting...taking a moment to reflect.

I will take a minute each day to ask 4 questions: Why am I here? What’s going on around me? What am I going...

We continue chopping up comedian Steve Martin's book "Born Standing Up." Yesterday's episode dealt with the 75/25 % (or 80/20) principle that it takes three quarters effort/refinement to achieve 25% massive success (if done right). As Martin created his niche, he did the opposite of all comedians. He asked the question, "What if I remove the punchline and created more tension, so the audience chose when and where to laugh?" Today's episode asks the question, as it relates to the book, what if in...

I recently read a book called the Adversity Advantage (by Paul Stolz & Erik Weihenmayer)..& in the book they said, "People show up for a task, but engage fully in a cause." Today's episode challenges the fact that we're focused on the "What" & not the "Why" as it applies to our day.
