We’re all about action here at really really badly. And not just any action, but good action. In order to know what good action to take, time spent in contemplation is crucial. And what better to contemplate than the words of the wise? Today’s episode is a short one inspired by the below quote. We hope you find it helpful …

It’s pretty obvious that we have a problem of certainty in our culture today. A glance on basically any comment section will reveal that we don’t leave much room for being wrong. Hell, we don’t even like saying the phrase “I don’t know”. It’s like we are all expected to have highly developed opinions on everything. But that’s impossible to …

Today we’re talking about a concept you may not be consciously familiar with, but most definitely encounter in your life. Gamification: the application of typical elements of game playing (e.g. point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to other areas of activity. This topic has a wide range of applicability in our lives, particularly in this age of technology. We …

Schadenfreude. You may have no idea what this word even means, but I’d be willing to bet you’ve experienced this common, human emotion. As soon as you hear us describe what schadenfreude means, you’re going to say, “Ahhh, I know exactly what that feels like.” This may be followed by a little bit of guilt or and/or pleasure, which is …

Do you ever find yourself coming off a weekend or a vacation feeling anything but rested? Maybe you’ve felt anxious, antsy, or lethargic. And how does that make any sense? You just had a break, but you don’t feel rejuvenated at all. I think sometimes, we are just bad at rest. That sounds funny, because the idea of rest seems …

Frustration and anger may often be used synonymously, but is there a difference between the two? What causes us to be angry, frustrated? Is one better than the other? Or do we even ask ourselves these questions to begin with? Today, we untangle the differences between them and how to acknowledge and respond to these emotions. We hope you enjoy …

We are all familiar with competition. We see it most obviously in sports, but aren’t so aware of its role in our lives. Competition has some negative connotations attached to it when outside the realm of sports. It’s seen as an all or nothing mentality where the winner takes all. This can lead us to think being a “competitive person” …

Who do you represent? It’s a question I don’t think we ask ourselves very often, if at all. We represent all sorts of things in our lives. From our friends and family, to our favorite sports teams, political party, or hobbies. Whether we consciously recognize it or not, we are always representing something or someone when interacting with the people …

We talk a lot about the Stoic idea of focusing on what you can control and letting the rest go by the wayside. Reputation is a tricky topic in this light because it’s something we don’t have complete control over. We have influence, but not absolute control. Today we walk through this murky aspect of reputation to figure out exactly …

Are you seeking praise or purpose? This is the question I have to ask myself all the time in order to keep my people pleasing tendencies in check. I’m a natural people pleaser. I want to be helpful; I want to be liked. Not bad things, but when those desires come before or at the cost of my purpose, issues …

Boundaries can be hard. Especially if you’re any bit a people-pleaser or yes-man, but they are vital if you don’t want to be a pressured, stressed out, individual who always feels taken advantage of. We hope to bring some clarity to this difficult topic and help shed some light on the fact that while hard, boundaries can be pretty simple. …

Entitlement is a tricky subject. It’s not bad within itself, but it may easily be blown out of proportion and become a negative character trait in your life. Today we talk about how to manage our sense of entitlement, to keep it healthy, and ways to watch out for entitlement in your life.

Let us tell you something shocking. Ready? Brace yourself…. Relationships aren’t perfect. Gasp, right? Whether you are in a relationship now or you hope for one in the future, you should know that conflict can develop in a variety of ways. We’ve outlined a few of them here, but keep in mind that lots of these issues are very natural. …

On today’s episode, we are talking about the third un-truth from Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt’s book The Coddling of the American Mind. If you’re sentient in the year 2020, you’ve probably noticed this one. The un-truth is that the world can be separated into two groups of people: the good and the bad. The good group consists of all …

Complacency is sneaky. And if you’re like Travis and thought complacency was just a synonym for “lazy”, you might want to listen closely to this episode. It can sneak into our lives if we aren’t careful to fight against it and that starts with knowledge. Hopefully, after this episode, you’ll have gained some knowledge about complacency and learned some solid …

Enne-what? If you’ve heard about the Enneagram, you may know that it’s a fascinating tool used to determine characteristics, personality traits, and deep innate desires inside of each individual. But if you’re anything like us, you may be a little daunted by the new-age-sounding descriptions, the different typing system, and the sheer amount of information available on the subject. Or …
