 #35 – Uncertainty… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

In this episode, we quite frankly covered a lot of ground. But the wide reaching conversation was generally tied together by the concept of uncertainty. Risk… Yes, but the ongoing uncertainty that we carry into almost every new and ongoing thing we do.

 #34 – Launching your F’ing Project! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 83:23

Every week, either before or after we record an episode, it seems we spend a large amount of time talking about the projects we’re working on, sharing notes and giving eachother strategies and ideas for moving forward. This week, we decided to just hit record… If you’re working on something – new business, new product, […]

In a short essay style episode, Dobbo shares some thoughts on how our delusions and conclusions of what we’re ready for, capable of, deserving of – can have a significant impact on our ability to step into greatness.

Perhaps a better question to ask is, “What is going on for this person that makes them appear hostile, threatening, bullying, rude or impatient?” – This week we discussed “Kindness”, and how compassion relates so heavily […]

 #30 – Loneliness Part 2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

When is it time to give up, and when is it time to keep going on projects, relationships, goals, artwork etc? The answers to these […]

 #27 Think or Act? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

(Photo Credit: Flickr User – Karola) How often do you feel guilty that you are thinking about things too much, and just need to get off your #$% and take action? This week we shared some experiences and thoughts on this subject. We explored the overlap of where thinking should turn into action, and moments […]

 #26 Progress… | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

It’s hard to not constantly compare ourselves to others, and wonder if we are making enough progress in life. But this obsession is such a stupid one when you stop and think about it. You CAN’T make outstanding progress raising 5 kids at home, while also being on an international speaking circuit for a book […]

 #25 Leaps of Faith | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: Unknown

This week, Mick does a solo episode in short form to summarize a conversation we had last week on the topic of Leaps of Faith. What foundational beliefs do we carry around that impact our lifestyles and relationships, without having ever stopped to test and see if they are serving us?

 #24 Is my life on track? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

There’s so much pressure to “be” someone, and to “be” that by a certain age or timeframe, and this creates a lot of anxiety and pressure in our lives – and for what reason? That was the subject this week as we discussed the problem that so many of us wrestle with. Have I found […]

 #23 – Finding Your Passion #2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

This week, we went through a live workshop where Mick was the guinea pig following through Dobbo’s questions (from last week) with Dobbo acting as the guide. We hope you find this useful, and most importantly we hope you decide to do the exercise of answering these questions and considering them within your own life […]

 #21 – Public Speaking | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

If this image sends chills down your spine, then maybe this latest episode could have some helpful information to help with when you next have to get in front of an audience. This is the first time (it feels like) we’ve done an episode where it was more of a “how to” than just a […]
