#18 - What Are We Doing in Cleveland? (featuring Darrell Long) (No Easy Answers)
This episode is all about our dreams and how they get derailed. I talk about remembering how I wanted to be a superhero when I grew up, and how I lost sight of what that meant to me then and still means to me today. I also give an exercise to learn something about yourself from all the naysayers in your past - people who've told you "No, you're not. No, you can't. No, you won't." If you like this episode, please share it, and let me know what YOU wanted to be when you grew up. Drop me a line on Twitter (@barrymangione) or at barrymangione1@gmail.com.
#17 - What Did You Want to Be When You Grew Up? (No Easy Answers)
Happy Valentine's Day! Of course, the No Easy Answers celebration of Valentine's Day can't be all chocolates & roses, so this episode is all about looking back into your past and asking what you've learned from your relationships. What can you take with you from all the relationships that didn't work out? Every relationship teaches us something about who we are. In this episode, I talk about a very simple exercise you can do to look at your past relationships and use what you've learned to improve your relationships and yourself going forward.
#16 - What Can We Learn from Our Ex-Lovers? (No Easy Answers)
This episode is the third in a series of audiobook/podcast crossovers that i'm calling "ChapterCasts." Instead of releasing an audiobook version of my book, No Easy Answers, I'm going to be reading each chapter myself one by one throughout this year (2015) as individual podcast episodes. Each podcast episode features questions and each chapter in my book is a question (makes sense to me). These episodes will feature less in the way of advertising or commentary, instead focusing on the reading. In this episode, I read the first chapter of the book, which features the question, "Am I Being Honest With Myself?"
#15 - Am I Being Honest With Myself? (Chapter Cast #3) (No Easy Answers)
This is another "life hack" episode, in which I talk about my 30-day "no complaints" challenge, and how monitoring when, why, and how often you complain can give you greater self-awareness and help improve your life.
#14 - Why Complain? (No Easy Answers)
Today's show is all about leadership. My guest is Mitch Mitchell. Mitch is a consultant specializing in the areas of leadership, healthcare, and finance.
