The Beauty That Surrounds Us
2/4/2021
We will always want more, but we can always, at any time we choose, decide to curb our desire, and take a moment or two in the pure bliss that beauty is always around us if we only choose to realize it.
This is the lesson. This is the challenge.

A Musing On The Mind
1/28/2021
I’m working on a new theory of sorts. A dumbed-down, simplified, lay-person theory on happiness and fulfillment, and as I work through this mentally, I want to begin putting some of these thoughts down in writing.
My thinking can be summed up by saying I think there are three main modes of living (mentally-speaking).
My question is, why are we so damn distracted all the time? Why can I be one person in one scenario and a different person in another depending on the process or place I am...

Interview With J. Ross
1/8/2021
My guest today is one of my oldest friends, J Ross. His real name is Justin, and that is probably how most people know him, but I only know him as J.
This interview happened in a very serendipitous way. We were just having our normal quarterly catchup call and I told him about the podcast, and we got super deep and philosophical and we both came to the conclusion that J needed to be on the podcast.
Besides being one of my closest friends, J is one of the most unique individuals I know, but...

Episode 22: Not-Enough-Ness
12/23/2020
This is a super short, unedited podcast for the holidays. Wishing you all a healthy and happy New Year!
This podcast is about one of my favorite little mindful meditations that I do whenever the occasion arises. I call it, the “enough-ness” meditation. It’s a super easy meditation, but it’s difficult because it works best when you catch yourself in the mindset of “not-enough-ness.”

Episode 21: Is Consciousness Good?
12/18/2020
I had an interesting philosophical discussion today about this podcast and the work I’m doing here. Essentially, the question was, is consciousness actually a good thing? What he meant was, does being fully “awake” and conscious lead to a happier and more fulfilling life, or is ignorance and unconscious behavior and thinking an actually better way of living in Western society? It was an interesting question and one that I had to really consider.

Episode 19: The Rip Current
12/4/2020
For those of you that live near an ocean, you may have heard about rip currents. Rip currents are dangerous because if you get pulled into one, they can suck you hundreds of yards out into the ocean. The absolute worst thing you can do in a rip current is to try to swim to shore (i.e. against the current). The current is too strong and will pull you out to sea and you will be so exhausted from trying to swim against it, there is a high likelihood of drowning. The way that you get out of a...

Episode 18: The Current State
11/28/2020
It’s November 2020, and it’s a pretty bizarre time to be alive. And I for one, am grateful.
Obviously, we are in the midst of some serious problems. I’m not trying to downplay the struggles that many of us are facing.
But despite all of the craziness, I still say that we are living in an amazing time and I for one choose to be extremely grateful

Episode 17: Maitri
11/20/2020
The Buddhists have a word, called Maitri. Most commonly translated as love or loving-kindness, Maitri also means loving-kindness to oneself and is the foundation of the four virtues, which are:
What a perfect word to describe the third pillar of living a full life and being the best version of yourself. Practicing Maitri is a way to be kinder to yourself as well as feel connection with all sentient beings and only by practicing loving-kindness to yourself can you experience the upper...

Episode 15: The Importance Of Being Earnest (with yourself)
11/5/2020
About two months into making this podcast, I became obsessed with listenership numbers, constantly checking how many listens there were for each new podcast, and then I began to think about new ways to grow listenership and make the podcast into something much larger.
Growing the podcast is not a bad endeavor, but because I now know myself deeply, I was able to quickly realize that I was becoming obsessed with the idea of growing for the sake of growing.
If I never took the time to sit...

Episode 14: Climbing the Mountain of Life
10/29/2020
The first step to personal awakening is to open your eyes and finally look around you. Some people use the metaphor of climbing a mountain while others may think of climbing down the mountain. I like to think about it as becoming aware for the first time of where we actually are, visualizing the world around us, and slowly picking up the trash, designing our home, and deciding who we want to let in.
The first step to any self-awakening is self-examination, which is just a fancy way of...

Episode 13: Happy Wife, Happy Life?
10/23/2020
There’s that old sage saying passed down from older married couples to young grooms, “Happy Wife, Happy Life.” And it makes sense: If your spouse is miserable it seems to fit that you might be miserable as well. But I think this advice is not complete, and this podcast is an exploration of how I am trying to make all of my relationships better, by focusing on making ME better.

Episode 11: My Addiction
10/8/2020
For years I have been deeply addicted to self-help and self-improvement content. When I would listen to performance based podcasts or read inspiring words, it became like a drug, helping me to stay motivated, active, and engaged.
So, I would take the self-help drug, again and again, to keep me motivated, keep me productive, keep me pushing, keep me busy. I would read motivating books and blogs. I would watch inspiring documentaries and ted talks. I would listen to high performers on...

Episode 10: No Time To Waste
10/2/2020
Time, it has been said, is our most precious commodity. Unlike money, you cannot earn more. Unlike life, it cannot grow. Unlike precious metals, it cannot be mined. At best, you might be able to prolong it, but at the end of the day, you cannot get time back and you cannot earn more.
Time is a precious and rare gift, and it should not be wasted, but rather earned.

Episode 9 - A Stye In My Eye
9/25/2020
Sometimes it takes a painful physical reminder, like a Stye in the Eye. A physical pain that there is no distraction or avoidance of, that helps you look in the mirror, frightened by what you see, and helps you wake up to the fact that you are unconscious, and unconscious living creates pain, unhappiness, and discomfort, and only when you begin to live consciously and intentionally can you begin to make the right choices that can help you heal, move on, and live the life you are meant to...
