Personal development, behavioral psychology, business trends, leadership, adventure travel, spiritual practice, starting over somewhere new, taking risks, failing, getting back up and trying again. The subject matter is broad but the connecting fiber is deep. WE'RE EXPLORING OUR CURIOSITY. Without judgement. Without needing permission. Here, we'll learn, grow, and become our best selves - by leaning into the things we're curious about and letting t ...

In Part 2 of our talk with Steezus, we get curious about our inner child, having to “sit with our shit” during lockdown, Super Mario Brothers as maybe the best analogy I’ve ever heard for life, Drake-level petty moments, and why the idea of zero sum games in career success is complete bullshit #IDon’tWantYourPie (it’ll make sense when you listen :)…

In this episode, we talk about "riding the wave" of the emotions we feel.

In this episode I give several examples of random conversations i've had with complete strangers where they end up telling me something that just FLOORS me.

In this one we're getting curious about gossip. Why we do it and how to stop. Gossip can definitely stroke our fragile human egos.

Today we're getting curious about "keeping the peace". Or more specifically, WHOSE peace we're keeping. Are we at war with ourselves in order to keep someone else's peace?

In this episode we're getting curious about how the mood we’re in can affect the way we see things (AKA "Affective Realism"). The MOOD is the impermanent, fleeting thing. WE are the constant.

In this one, we're getting curious about asking for the help you need. I know a lot of people, like me, tend to think we can do it all ourselves. We have this self-critical narrative that says asking for help = weakness. We don't want to be vulnerable or reliant on anyone else for anything. But when we quiet our ego and let go of our stubborn pride…
