Every time we are about to take a big step, and we question ourselves if we are on the right track or making the right choice, where does that voice come from? Is it fear of failure? Is it self-doubt, our gut waving at us, trying to stop us from making a mistake, or is it just us getting in our way?

In this MVP episode, Clayton and I talk about one of the radical shifts we can make to change our world: radical acceptance. We delve into why it is so hard to connect with radical acceptance and embr...

In this MVP episode, we discuss radical commitment, the only tool we need to go through, manage, and conquer anything we put our minds i...

Most entrepreneurs, especially those who reach a certain level of success, sooner or later experience a sense of disbelief in their abilities and unworthiness of what they've accomplished; they feel like a fraud.

Our conversation revolves aroun...

But it can be difficult to set boundaries with other people. We want to be liked, we don't want to rock the boat. We're afraid of what other pe...

“People pleasing brings a ton of limitations and really gets in the way of us being able to create adult relationships where there's vulnerability, authenticity, transparency, and a resilience in the connection where both people can be seen and actually loved,” explains co-host Clayton Olson. If you have a tendency toward people pleasing, you are likely not being your authentic self and may even be struggling to find your tribe. Tr...

In this MVP (most valuable podcast) we cover the following... We've all heard "glass half full/empty" as an analogy for optimism and pessimism. But really think about it for a second. When you are looking at the glass as half-full, you have a genuinely different perspective on the world than when you are seeing it as half-empty.

There are lots of different ways that we can use language that accidentally limit our possibilities i...
