E10 - Death, Forgiveness, A Fortuitous Moment

Folks, it’s “based on a true story” time. Today, I discuss my relationship with my late father. I discuss how our connection devolved later in his life, how I resented him for it, how I changed my perspective on the mistakes he made, and how that helped me heal, becoming a better version of myself. I only hope you will find some meaning or inspiration in this story that can help improve your relationship with your loved ones.

E9 - A Stoic’s Guide to Meaning with Dr. Craig Van Slyke

My next guest (and experienced leader) is Dr. Craig Van Slyke, host of the Live Well & Flourish Podcast. Over the course of our conversation I have the chance to learn from the Professor as he explains his background, how he found meaning in life, how he overcame loss, and how all of that could help you step towards a more purpose driven life. In a very powerful moment, Dr. Van Slyke shares the story of how he lost the love of his life to cancer. The lessons packed into this episode, thanks to my guest, are vital to anyone who believes they can be better versions of themselves today than yesterday.

E8 - Discovering Purpose

After a self-inflicted hiatus, I am back to chat about how challenging it has been to remain disciplined and keep recording. I share a personal story of how I discovered my purpose (spoiler alert it’s intertwined with STT), and I talk about why it’s vital to continue to work towards your own purpose, especially in those moments when things are discouragingly difficult.

E7 - Women in Sports, Business & Travel with Amy Siegfried

I am ecstatic to share my guest (and expert communicator) Amy Siegfried with each of you. Over the course of our conversation we chat about sports, living as a woman in the business world, and what international travel can teach us about perspective. Finally, Amy’s courage gives us the chance to discuss some of her personal challenges and how she overcame them, before she breaks down for me why it’s vital to build up those around up rather than put them down.
