Episodes
Know you’re WHY.
Taught and talked about so much in the business and personal development world that it’s become cliché.
But there is truth in cliché.
And this episode of Andor (Andor Season 2 Episode 6: What a Festive Evening) illustrates how important the principle of “WHY” actually is.
It’s our sense of purpose. It’s what drives us. Without it, our pursuit become empty and meaningless.
This episode of Andor teaches us...
The question for this episode of Andor is: “What are you angling at?”
Of course everyone has an agenda. But whether or not they achieve their desired outcome depends entire on the quality of their interactions.
In this week’s episode, we discuss owning your greatness, the importance of humility, and how to get more done without sacrificing kindness and understanding.
Who knew we could learn so much from Star Wars?
;)
Let&...
Like Cassian we all want to help and take care of the one we love especially when they’re struggling. But as well meaning as our intentions might be, sometimes we can end up doing more damage.
In this episodes, we answer Cassian’s question: “What am I doing wrong?”

Betrayal! To live In the cloak and dagger world that is the show Andor, betrayal is an occupational hazard.
But outside of scheming and plotting and back room deals, does betrayal actually happen in real life? If so, how?
It’s a matter of TRUST.
Betrayal can’t happen without trust. So the question is, does trust automatically open you up to the risk of being betrayed.
We get into all of this and more in this weeks episod...
What kind of friend are you?
Before this episode of Andor, we believed that Tay and Mon were the oldest of friends. Unfortunately, what that meant differed for both of them.
We see in this episode that Tay is more than willing to throw away the connection he has with Mon — all for his bruised ego and own bad decisions.
Again, what kind of friend are you? Are you a “Tay”? Or are you a “‘Mon”?
Let's connect on Bluesk...
Here we go! The Season 2 Premier of Andor!
And what better way to kick off this long awaited series than by answering a listener submitted question in conjunction?
This is really what Path of the Jedi is all about — finding insights to our life experiences from Star Wars.
Andor in particular is so full of humanity, so full of character development, that it’s almost impossible not to learn from its themes and story arcs. ...
I know we were supposed to start our Andor Season 2 discussions today but honestly, I just couldn’t get it together in time.
So instead of pressuring myself to deliver what potentially would’ve been a subpar episode, I wanted to expand on last week’s message: Celebrate Your Wins.
It’s an important message and Andor can wait☺️

This week we are dipping into our back catalogue once again to revisit Star Wars: Visions Episode 1 - The Duel
Visions is one of the most creative properties in Star Wars and I was thrilled to hear the announcement of a third season coming dropping this October.
So whether you’d like to get reacquainted with the series or are checking it out for the first time, Path of the Jedi is the perfect companion to your Star Wars...
Here’s a replay of our Andor Episode 12: Rix Road discussion.
With the season right around the corner, I thought you’d like to use our episode by episode discussion of Andor as a companion to your rewatch of Season One.
Or, even if it’s your first watch, our discussions can really add to your viewing experience.
Here’s ep 1 in that series: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1836307/episodes/11401216-andor-ep-1-life-isn-t-binary

I’ve said this a lot the last decade or so but… WHAT A TIME TO BE A STAR WARS FAN!
At this particular moment in time, we have so much to look forward to, least of those things being the 20th Anniversary re-release of Revenge of the Sith, the premier of Andor Season 2, and Star Wars Celebration Tokyo!
We discuss all this and so much more. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!☺️
====================
It’s no secret. There exists a toxicity within the Star Wars fandom (and really, all fandom) that sometimes makes it difficult to participate in that fandom.
It’s great when we can have a shared love and experience in Star Wars, that it can bring us together in excitement and appreciation for the vast mythology within.
But when hate and ugliness invade those spaces, it’s tough to want to even be involved.
So, this epi...
Because I took such a long hiatus and because I’ve connected with so many new people since reviving the show, I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself… at least in the context of this podcast.
So if you’re new, welcome and thank you.
If you’re a long-time listener, you’ll hear a familiar story told through a different lens. Four years have passed since I did a “who am I” episode, so my...
We’ve arrived at the final episode of Ahsoka and what a doozy!
This episode shows us the stark contrast between Ahsoka and Thrawn and their approach to conflict.
While Thrawn’s approach relies completely on strategy and tactic, Ahsoka has begun to lean more into “going with the flow.” She’s learned to let go of the need for control and is allowing herself to once again “trust in the Force.”
Letting go. Leaning in. Surren...
How does Star Wars inspire you to DREAM?
There are many ways. But beyond dreaming of far off galaxies and grand space adventures, Star Wars can inspire us to dream again HERE on earth, to dream of better tomorrows for ourselves and for the world.
Parts Six and Seven of Ahsoka hold myriad lessons. But the message that stood out to me the most was to stay inspired and always keep dreaming.
What about you?
===============...
We’re off to an actual distant galaxy! Our heroes are stepping into uncharted territory in this episode in more ways than one.
How do you handle having to face circumstances and situations you’ve never faced before? How do you handle facing the unknown and uncertain?
We can certainly learn from our heroes in this episode. And that’s what we discuss today.

The past can haunt us. Decisions that maybe didn’t turn out the way you thought they would compounding into monumental self doubt and eventually leaving us paralyzed when facing the crossroads of uncertainty.
Yea, me too.
Things haven’t been easy. There’s been a lot of uncertainty in the world and moreover in my personal life.
And so I’m really working hard to lean into that uncertainty and trusting that my past exper...
I need to come clean. There’s no Ahsoka discussion this week. In this episode I explain, pretty openly, why I was unable to continue our conversation about the ongoing adventures of our Ahsoka and our other heroes.
It hasn’t been easy for any of us, I think. And sometimes we have to take a step back and give more attention to our mental health than to the things the world tells us we should be prioritizing.
It’s a tou...
Our heroes Ahsoka and Sabine have a difficult decisions ahead of them — do they destroy the map and prevent another galactic war? Or do they make sure they still have a way to save Ezra?
This episode is all making tough decisions in the face of massive uncertainty.
It’s impossible to know with certainty how things will turn out and this makes important decisions very difficult.
We can hem and haw trying to guess OR we ...
“Anger and frustration are quick to give power. But they also unbalance you.” - Ahsoka
This quote from Part Three of Ahsoka is the focal point of our discussion for today’s episode.
The lesson:
You can generate energy (and therefore motivation and effort) with any emotional state, especially heightened ones.
However, the emotional state you draw from will impact your effort and therefore your results.
This is an importan...
There’s something boiling and brewing in Ahsoka Part 2 and it’s more than just the devious plans hatched by Baylan and Morgan.
There’s an unresolved history between Ahsoka and Sabine that’s stilling bubbling just beneath the surface and they need to address it soon.
And that’s the topic for today’s discussion.
The best way to prevent the kind of tension happening between Ahsoka and Sabine ...
