CRUCIBLE HACKS 8: Fellow Travelers Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

We say often here that moving beyond your crucible is a team sport, and the team we’re helping you build on this episode of our summer series, CRUCIBLE HACKS, is what we call your fellow travelers. Without them, your pursuit of a vision that will lead you to a life of significance is far more difficult – if not completely unlikely.

The hacks we offer this week focus on helping you identify the two most valuable types of fellow travelers – encouragers and complementors: that’s complementors with an e, not an I -- people you trust who have different skills and perspectives than you do.

Both types of people are critical to you turning your tragedy into triumph. Because, as Warwick says here, “Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.”

CRUCIBLE HACKS 7: Vision Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

A world of what could be or needs to be. That’s the stuff of vision. And looking to films that resonate with you to find the seeds of your own unique vision is one of the hacks we offer in this week’s episode of our special summer series, CRUCIBLE HACKS.

In this seventh episode of the series, all about the development of vision, our second hack takes you through several questions to help you in crafting a vision you can live out with gusto.

And remember as you try your hand at these hacks, as Warwick says during our chat, “What moves us is often what motivates us.”

CRUCIBLE HACKS 6: Authenticity Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

The real you. We’ve spent the last few weeks helping you discover who that is – now we shift our attention to the importance of making sure you live in light of what you’ve learned. That you resist the temptation to don a mask and instead show the world the authentic you.

In this sixth episode of our special summer series, CRUCIBLE HACKS, we offer a pair of ways you can help ensure you’re living authentically. We call them "Anchors Aweigh" and "Forgive, Forgive, Forgive." They’ll help you as you continue to journey past what’s been broken in your life and toward the breakthrough that’s waiting for you.

Wearing a mask will not help you reach that destination because, as we say in this episode, “There are no alter egos in a life of significance.”

CRUCIBLE HACKS 5: Talents Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Once you've identified your beliefs and values and your passions, the next step to crafting and executing a vision that's unique to you is coming to a deeper understanding of your talents.

Our hacks this week, "Look to the Past to Forge the Future" and "Words Matter," are all about identifying where your gifts lie, because knowing what you’re good at, and what you’re not good at, is a critical step to moving beyond your crucible and into a life of significance – where you can apply those talents in to others.

Show notes

Excavation. Digging deep to discover what you’re truly off-the-charts passionate about. That’s the focus of this episode of our special summer series, CRUCIBLE HACKS.

As we continue our step-by-step journey through the Beyond the Crucible Refining Process, we offer you three hacks to help you unearth the passions that will guide you along your pursuit of a life of significance. We call them “Redeem the Pain,” “Meet the Younger You” and “Call in Reinforcements.” Each one will bring clarity to what you care most about.

“Passion,” Warwick says, “is what fuels us to move forward, to get beyond the ashes of our crucible and to use our pain for a purpose.”

Warwick and Gary offer you a pair of hacks this week – one to help you identify your beliefs, called Be the Change.

CRUCIBLE HACKS 2: Refined Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

Finding the healing in heartache and hard times is not easy -- but it is an absolutely indispensable step we all must take to recover from a crucible experience. This week, in episode 2 of our special summer series CRUCIBLE HACKS, Warwick and Gary share how you can understand how you were refined by the challenges you’ve faced. They share two hacks that will help you find beauty from the ashes of those setbacks and failures. One involves facing the demons of what went wrong and finding a way to turn them into angels; the other is creating a 3 by 5 card – that is, jotting down three to 5 lessons your trauma or tragedy taught you – and even looking for blessings attached to those lessons. The bottom line: “In order to reframe,” as Warwick says, “you’ve got to do the inner work.” To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com

7 Ways to Avoid Mission Drift and Live Your True Purpose #170 Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Mission drift may come on slowly, imperceptibly even, but its impact is like death from a thousand cuts. What can it kill? Your purpose.

This week, we walk you step by step through our latest blog, 7 Ways to Realign With Your True Purpose. It all starts with understanding that purpose … and along the way we talk at length about how to know if you’ve drifted off mission, what you can do to right the ship if you have and how fellow travelers can help keep you sailing in a straight line. Warwick also explains the critical difference between mission drift and mission evolution – the latter is a good thing – and what role giving yourself grace plays in finding your true north again if you’ve veered away from it.

“Living outside your true purpose is not fun,” Warwick says, but it’s also not irreversible.

Overcoming Poverty to Gain an Abundance Mindset: Alice Tsang #169 Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

We’ve heard some remarkable stories on this podcast, but Alice Tsang’s is one of the most remarkable … and triumphant. That's because from the crucible of abject poverty that saw her sharing a tiny apartment with more than a dozen others, needing the quarter a day her uncle could spare that allowed her to eat lunch at high school, she gained an unlikely education that she’s put two use in a pair of successful careers – first as a successful fixed-income analyst on Wall Street and now as a college finance professor. Warwick talks with Tsang this week about what her hardscrabble upbringing in Hong Kong taught her about what’s truly important in life … lessons she now aims to teach her students so they understand how to cope with and overcome the challenges they will inevitably face. “We do not have the ability to be perfect,” she says. “But we can control how much effort we put into a better future for ourselves.” For more information about Alice Tsang, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/alice-tsang-a3236190/ To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com Have a question or comment?
