Good Life Project

We spend a lot of time thinking about the legacy we’re building. What is the thing that threads everything you’ve done together? What is the mark you’re leaving on the world, both in the career or work you do and the way you live your life? These are big questions. And they’re what we’re exploring […]

 Fueling your body for optimal health, performance and vitality is an important part of living a good life. Question is, how? I don’t know about you, but it’s more than a bit maddening trying to keep up with the latest nutrition advice. High-fat, low-fat, paleo, vegan, gluten-free, grass-fed donuts, who knows what’s next. Despite the […]

There’s this myth about being a grown-up, especially, being a parent, that it’s a time where the play ends and the serious work begins. That laughter and surprise and curiosity and spontaneity, very often the things that got you where you are, need to cede to more responsible behavior. But, what if the exact opposite […]

There’s this legend about the sole creator. That person who goes into their creative cave, cloistered in solitude for days, months or even years, only to emerge with a work of genius. Exploding into the zeitgeist and changing everything. But what if that was story was just a myth? What if whole of idea sole […]

There a certain inertia that often takes hold of our lives when we hit a certain age. One that says “you know that dream, it’s just not that realistic, so why don’t you just buckle down and do the adult thing?” It’s the voice of the inner critic, sometimes bundled with a whole lot of outer […]

When you hear the phrase “coming out,” what do you think about? For most people, it’s telling the world you’re gay. Truth is, we’ve all got closets. Deep thoughts, experiences, beliefs, often so painful they lay buried under piles of emotional laundry in the dark corner of our closets. Thing is, holding these things back […]

Ever wonder why everything that happened during your teens has stayed with you for so long? And, for many, continues to control you to this day?   In today’s episode of Good Life Project, I’m sharing a fascinating conversation with acclaimed professor and adolescence expert, Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D.. We’re talking about what new brain research […]

So, I’ve got something different for you today. It’s a bonus episode that features a 90-minute audiobook version of something I published last week called The Art of Revolution. It’s about an idea. Actually, something that started as my own personal geek-fest. I was trying to figure out if you could tap the power of […]

Sometimes you can do everything right in life. Give to others, live with compassion, love with every fiber of your being and fill your days with work you love. By all rights, the universe should be rallying to support you. And, most days it does. But then, one day, it seems to abandon you. It […]

10 years ago, Chris Guillebeau mounted a quest to do the impossible, to visit every country in the world. Along the way, he’s been hassled, deported, detained, harassed and threatened. But, far more often, he’s been welcomed and embraced, discovered the brilliance of a deeply connected world, built a global community of unconventional adventurers and, […]

Big surprise and a huge announcement about the future of the project. First, the surprise. Today’s guest is ME! You guys have been asking for two and a half years. So, I finally invited a good friend to turn the mic on me and explore this incredible journey of both life and GLP TV. We […]

Odd thing about success. It often breeds failure. An interesting thing happens when you start with nothing, work like crazy, take big creative risks that pay off and then end up on top of the world. You discover that the fall from the top of the world hurts a whole lot more than the fall […]

Life. If you ask him what he does, he may tell you he founded HeadButler.com. But that’s really just a label […]

A few years back, sitting down with Brene Brown, I asked what living a good life meant to her. Her answer was that it was about acknowledging and exalting the little moments that so many of us steamroll over in the mad rush to get to the bigger moments. I know what she means. I’ve […]

Every long-term creative endeavor requires you to cycle into “The Thrash.” That window where everything you thought you knew gets thrown into the wind, everything certain becomes uncertain and the way you contribute to your art, business, career and life are all up for grabs. It’s not about floundering or wallowing, it’s about owning the […]
