You are more than the visible outcome of your work.
And the outcome of your work might be more than what is currently visible.
We have failure all wrong.
If we thought about failure like THIS, it will change everything.

Does it feel like nothing has gone as planned in your life? I know the feeling.
Yet, maybe our plans, our dreams aren't going to their grave right now. Maybe they're being planted.
Maybe the pain and problems we're going through right now aren't a distraction away from ou...

"You might be going through a quarter-life crisis if you glare at your cat in the morning as you get ready for work and say, “Gosh, I wish I had your life.” - 101 Secrets For Your Twenties
A quarter life crisis can happen at any age. What are some signs you might be going through a quarter life crisis or that you've gone through a quarter life crisis?

If you don't figure this ONE THING out, pursuing your dream is going to be a real struggle.
Pursuing your dream will be riddled with much more sacrifice than sexiness. That's okay. That's how it's supposed to be.
Yet, when you're sacrificing for a "must", for a "have-to", for something you can not, NOT do, the sacrifice doesn't feel sacrificial at all. Actually the sacrifice is a little sexy ...
What if our pursuit of happiness is all wrong?
What if our pursuit of happiness is the exact thing that's keeping us most unhappy?
Here’s what I think is the truth: The more we pursue happiness, the less happy we’re going to be.
Is happiness a product we should pursue?
Or is happiness a product of something else? Can we seek happiness unto itself? Or is happiness a natural byproduct when we’re pursuing something else meaningful?

"Success in your twenties and thirties is more about what you're planting in the ground then it is about what you're harvesting." - via 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing
How do you consistently keep planting seeds even when you don't feel like it?
When you haven't seen much progress in awhile? When nothing seems to be growing as fast as you hoped it would?
Do you wait for inspiration and motiva...
No one can do what you do or be who you are.

What do you say to someone standing on a ledge?
In this unique, straight-to-the-point episode I re-tell the story of the night my neighbor threatened to jump down to his death, and the lies that led him there.
Hear what I told him that night and the power of those four simple words that we all need to hear.
“I’ve missed my chance!” I've worked with too many twentysomethings who believe this lie.
I also spent too many years believing this lie myself.
In today's podcast, I jam-pack it with inspirational stories and lessons on why you haven't missed your chance in life.
One story I tell is of a twentysomething heavy metal rocker whose first album flopped. He was so discouraged that he’d lost his “one chance” at success that he...
If I'm being honest, this is a constant battle for me.
Stephen Pressfield in his book The War of Art called it "Resistance". I call it "The Liar".
The moment you start moving forward. The moment you start taking that chance. The moment you put yourself out there, the Liar is going to try and stop you. The Liar is going to try and convince you that you don't have what it takes.
I know from experience! As I mo...
I don't want to embarrass myself. I'm pretty afraid of it actually.
But in this story I embarrassed myself in a completely different way.
As more of an introvert than extrovert, my wife can attest that getting me to do something too social, too out-there, is like trying to give a cat a bath.
So over the years I've figured out the only way NOT to embarrass myself. But honestly, I don't like it much either.
The only w...
Most of us treat transition and change as something to rush through as quickly as possible to get to the next important seasons of our lives.
That’s all wrong.

There’s a joy and beauty in happy little accidents. At least that’s what Bob Ross taught us.
Do you know Bob Ross? The Joy of Painting, huge afro star, who produced a whopping 31 seasons of his famous art instruction show on PBS. Bob would calmly sit on a stool and paint a landscape for an hour, yet completely entrance the viewer with his soothing voice and wisdom about the importance of happy little accidents and how “even a tree ...

Obsessive Connection Disorder is a real, real problem.
We’re addicted to our phones as we are notified, headlined, and distracted to death. This need to constantly be connected, which in turn, leaves us incredibly disconnected.

“All you need is love” is a lie.
This first episode might be a little controversial because I think saying “I love you” should not be the peak of relationship seriousness. Because for one, it’s really easy to say I love you to someone you don’t really know.
I think we’ve gotten love all wrong and it’s messing up our expectations of what it means to have a healthy relationship.
We talk about falling in love like we’re powerless agai...
It’s sure felt like we’ve been stacking dark days upon dark days, hasn’t it?
