Strive Seek Find

Welcome to the Strive Seek Find Podcast I’m your host, Chance Whitmore.  Life is easy when everything is hitting on all cylinders…  These days it often is not.   This week, as we  return to school I’m reminded of this very fact.    How  we deal with parts of our life being spinning (nearly) out of control will whether we  control the insanity… or  collapse under the strain of a life stretched completely out of shape.  And it  that ...

 I have to say  hearing the phrase “well it’s the new normal”  makes me want to scream.  Not sure why.  Perhaps because we aren’t close to stability or that we are tone deafly marching forward in denial, but either way it has joined my list  of most hated phrases.   So today, rather than claiming things are  back to normal, I thought reminder of where we are at might be in order.

It’s been an interesting couple of weeks in the Whitmore Household.  School starts with all the chaos that ensues as we moved from one schedule to five distinctly separate schedule.   At  the best of times it’s a sprint  and worst its  running through the forest at night with your eyes closed. 

And then the special chaos arrived.  

Called to school on day 4 to pick up my daughter  because she wasn’t feeling well.   Normal year no bi...

The ten questions episodes are based around a simple concept:  Allowing people to talk about the things  they are passionate about.  It can be a job, hobby, cause, or anything in between.  Today I’m joined by  Dave from the Beer in Front Podcast about his enjoyment of  podcasting and beer.  So join us in learning  the why of the Beer in Front Pocast and what we can learn from Dave's  passion.

Bernard Shaw once said “Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable."   And at times when we’re grinding, I can’t help but think that is true. 
  As I am starting back into my “busy 9 months” I find myself thinking about how to capture the  “mental energy” in a bottle to sustain me through the cold winter months.   Those times of years where the grind of the job and life  makes you lag just a bit.   And...

Going to geek out a bit today.    A little celebration  of parts of myself that I have been missing a bit for the last year or two.  

In the last few month as things have begun to loosen up ( as much as it will for the foreseeable future and some of my other interests have started to come back.    Today I thought I’d talk about a few of these beginnning with movies and books.

Con men,  flim-flam artists the like, when it comes to movies we revel in their getting away with it  while knowing eventually they will eventually get there comeuppance , it is easy to forget in those situations these people are the worst kind of predator preying on  the susceptible.   Today we are going to look at a few of the worst cases and talk briefly about what they all have in common and what they were looking for.

Welcome back to Season 2.   A few weeks ago I road tripped into Oregon for the first time in over a year.  It gave me an opportunity to look at things through new eyes because while Oregon borders on Idaho… they tend to be very  different places at the heart.   In a previous bonus  episode I touched on some the high quality beverages that seem to be everywhere in Oregon , today I thought it would be appropriate to touch on another ...

Whitmore.  Welcome to Episode 52 of the Strive Seek Find Podcast   I’m excited today.   Last June I challenged myself to do 52 weekly episodes of what would become this podcast.   I’m proud to say. Its been with bonus episodes closer to sixty with the bonus episodes.   Now that I’m done patting myself on my back for the simple accomplishment of being consistent, this week I was reminded by a friend of the importance of disconnectin...
