In this solo episode of Core Conversations, host Robbie Harmon reflects on seven years of working to help people make meaningful, lasting changes. Drawing on personal stories—including a transformative family trip to Alaska—and professional insights, Robbie explores the "magnetic pull to the middle," or society’s tendency toward mediocrity, and how individuals can rise above it.
He introduces the concept of the time value of change—the idea that making positive changes today compounds into even greater benefits in the future. Robbie emphasizes visioning and self-awareness as the critical first steps toward change, grounding these practices in research and real-world examples. He outlines five principles of effective visualization: narrowing focus, anticipating barriers, conditioning through repetition, visualizing both process and outcomes, and focusing on becoming rather than just achieving.
Through stories about family, personal growth, and the work at Ampelis, Robbie challenges listeners to reject conformity, cultivate meaning (through self, relationships, and spirituality), and embrace their potential. He closes with inspiring quotes from Nelson Mandela and Maya Angelou, reminding listeners that daring to stand out and pursue purpose-driven change can liberate both themselves and others.
