The Crossroads Podcast

It's finally book club time and our hosts discuss everything related to thinking like a freak and changing your mindset. We are proud to announce the opening of our new Twitter account, @TXRPodcast, which means we also get an official acronym for the show. Big stuff right there! Our hosts would also like to know that they will be taking your questions come next episode. You can send those in through the usual channels. Via e-mail at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com, on our Facebook page at facebook.com/thexroadspodcast, and, of course, on Twitter @TXRPodcast. You may also leave your comments at thecrossroadspodcast.podbean.com.

On this week's episode our hosts put a twist on the bookclub and talk about the art of practicing "useless" skills. If you haven't read the bookclub's first title, Think Like a Freak, then you have another week to read it! You are welcome. If you have read it then you can prepare yourselves for next week's topic by reading one of Sam's earlier recommendations titled Mindset by Carol Dweck.As always you can reach us at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com and like us on our Page at facebook.com/thexroadspodcastLinks:The Power of Belief - Mindset and Success, TEDx Talk by Eduardo Briceno

On this episode our hosts travel through time and discuss how it affects our lives as a resource, a motivator and as the stuff that makes champions. Reminder: next week we will be discussing the first book for the Crossroads Bookclub so get yourself into bookworm mode! If you have a book to recommend for the next book club you can send it to thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com.Join the fun on our Facebook Page at facebook.com/thexroadspodcast.Disclaimer: There's high compression on this episode. It shouldn't be too noticeable but we apologise all the same. We are still working on our audio editing muscles - plus Yanni's mic occasionally gets tampered with by Gremlins! He will try not to feed them after midnight from now on.

This week Yannis gets his microphone act together, gets discredited on many levels and join Sam in discussing the act of quitting. Our hosts also answer their very first fan message and introduce a new biweekly community activity: The Crossroads Bookclub.Send us your messages at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com and join us on our Facebook page at facebook.com/thexroadspodcast.

On this week's program Sam and Yannis thank their first 43 Facebook fans for their likes, discuss about their views on money and make some pretty bad jokes about Greeks and finances. No worries, though, because Yannis is Greek and it's okay for him to joke about his own country. Besides, it's Archer's fault. Blame him. This week things dragged on a little too long so some of the usual segments had to be skipped. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy!As usual you can reach our two hosts through email at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com and like us on our Facebook Page at http://facebook.com/thexroadspodcast

Coming back after a short break Yannis and Sam are ready to get into the skinny of what is motivation and how you can activate your drive to accomplish your dreams. There's some talk of adding some British flavour into the mix, how working out can stress out a beautiful Greek and Gurren Laggan should be re-titled into "Psyche up: The Series".

Greetings to our Crossroadies! Unfortunately Sam is going through a short transition in his life which also includes a change in dwelling. Since he doesn't have internet at the moment there will be no episode this week. We hope you continue to enjoy the show and look forward to meeting you at the crossroads next week Friday.Remember that you can email us at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.com with your own crossroads stories and questions.

In the third instalment of The Crossroads Podcast Sam and Yannis discuss regret, how it affected their lives, how they see regret as part of sound decision making and Sam shares an interesting experience. We would like to apologise beforehand for this episode's choppiness and sound issues. The Chinese Internet gods were not on our side on the day of recording. We are, however, moving to a different recording model from next weekend to improve the quality and reduce the lag issues. We hope you enjoy this week's meeting at the crossroads.Remember you can email us at thecrossroadspodcast@gmail.comLinks:The Power of Now by Eckhart TolleLiespotting by Pamela Meyer  (TED Talk)
