Today’s solo episode of the How’d It Happen podcast was inspired by Jordan Peterson and his book, titled “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. After reading this book, Mike felt drawn to create his own 12 rules of life, and in this episode, he breaks down his 12.5 rules of life. Those rules are:

1. Hold doors open, look people in the eye, say hello, and smile.
2. Words matter.
3. Surround yourself with people you like and who care about you.
4. Progress, not perfection.
5. Be a parent that your child wants to emulate and not one that they feel they need to emulate.
6. We've all got problems, but remember yours before you expose or take advantage of others.
7. Shiny objects might be horseshit.
8. How does doing this hard thing make me better?
9. All progress starts with the truth.
10. Take the best away from every interaction and leave the rest behind
11. Say what you mean to the best of your ability
12. Have fun and be okay with it. Don't take yourself too seriously.

And here's a bonus, Mike’s 12.5 rule of life: pay attention to what's in front of you, and be kind to whatever that is, to the best of your ability.

Tune in as Mike breaks each of these down and explains why they are important to maximize the greatness in you.
