Episode #127: Give Gratitude All You’ve Got

Some tell you to have an “attitude of gratitude”.  That sounds catchy.  And it’s not the same as practicing gratitude.  Practicing implies intention.  Work.  Even doing something you don’t always want to do.  Because you know it’s good and right.  Because it ultimately makes a difference in how you feel…and succeed.

Episode #126: The Self-Improvement Experiment – Part 1

Self-help books.  Some people love them.  Others hate them.  Think they’re fake.  That there’s nothing new under the sun.  That they spend half their time convincing you that you need fixing so you pay them to help you do it.  What’s the reality?  We’re going to explore some together to find out.  It should be interesting.  It may be enlightening.  At the very least, it will be entertaining.

Episode #124: Built With Love – Problem Solving

“Houston, we have a problem.”  This has become so famous that we say it ourselves, even though we don’t work for NASA.  Problems come up almost every day.  Some as small as breaking a dish when it drops on the kitchen floor.  Others require us to drop everything else to deal with them.  Like most things in life, effective problem solving is a skill we can learn.  And solving problems with love?  That’s what this episode is about.

Stories.  They’ve captivated and entertained us since humankind has been able to communicate.  They help us see things we never saw before.  Cause us to feel anger.  Outrage.  Empathy.  Joy.  Some of them, anyway.  Others?  We wonder when they’re going to end.  Wish we hadn’t heard this one 60 times already.  Want to escape the misery.  What makes a great story?  How do we build stories with love?  That’s what this episode is about.

Episode #119: Built With Love – Your Product

My brother-on-law made me an Irish whistle holder that was work of art.  What made it different?  It was built with love.  You know it feels when you buy or are given something that’s made with love?  It’s completely different from something that was made to be purely useful – or cost effective.  Today we’re talking about why it’s important and how to build what you make with love.

Episode #118: Built With Love – Your Culture

Culture isn’t what you say, but rather the total of what each one who’s part of the culture actually does.  Many cultures are built with fear, or without intention.  It just sort of happens, based on how everyone chooses to engage with the others.  To build a culture with love takes intention, practice, and diligence.  Not only that, but five practices that we’ll talk about in today’s episode.
