What are you resisting? If you need help tracking it down, first find the most significant chronic pain in your life. So often, we are unconsciously resisting some aspect of reality that we don’t want to accept as true until this frustration causes so much pain that we can’t ignore it anymore and we are…
The role of leadership can make you feel unappreciated, lonely, and exposed – but it does get more comfortable if you learn to BE a leader. The process isn’t easy, but nothing in life worth doing is. So today we are going to explore the ways you can practice embodying leadership and the care you…
A few episodes back, we discussed how subjectivism became extreme in our society, which is apparent when we see the popularization of terms like ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news.’ And we can thank Descartes for that. However, even with this subjectivist approach to life, people are not living in accordance with Descartes’ philosophy and examining…
As we mentioned in the last episode, our education system is not designed to teach us how to embody what we learn and change at the level of being. It’s a formulaic system of tests and regurgitation. Then by the time we reach early adulthood, we tend to crystallize and never change again. That’s not…
In this four-part series, we will reframe and expand our definition of learning.

With the rise of ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news,’ we have entered an era characterized by ethical subjectivism. It is the idea of individual rights, which the United States was founded on, taken to a dangerous extreme. It is my truth that when you commit to living in reality, it will support you – and…
Here in the United States, especially when it comes to our economy, we live in a false reality. Today we will establish how mediocrity perpetuates this paradigm and what it looks like in practice, laying the foundation for our discussion about Descartes, Money, Meditation, and Subjectivism over the next few episodes. I’d love your…
As a society, we put a premium on honesty – but there’s a massive gap between how we value honesty and how people tend to embody it. In reality, most of us want harmony more than we want honesty. However, a business culture won’t grow or improve without critical and constructive feedback, for both…
