Monday Motivation: Not All Use is Misuse Mar 29, 2021

Season 2, Episode 24
Not All Use is Misuse
On this week's Monday Motivation, I talk about how conflating all use with misuse leads to people thinking they have a problem when they don't. We see this around drugs a lot as (mostly) parents think any use is misuse or addiction. But we also saw this with the Atlanta shooting where the gunman said he had a sex and porn addiction because his church taught him that very normal feelings of arousal were problematic. What do you think? Are you in circles where any use is conflated with misuse or addiction? I want to hear from you!
What do you think? Everyone who responds, either by social media or my website, will get a sticker mailed to them. The first person to respond each week will get a magnet! So reach out or post something on your personal social media and tag me (and maybe share the show in the process?)!
If something in this episode upsets you, or makes you feel a certain way, take a moment and do some mindfulness. When you have the words, the thought thrashed out, send it to me! Share the podcast, tell the world your thoughts. That's how we make change.

Monday Motivation: It's On Us Mar 22, 2021

Season 2, Episode 22
It's On Us
On this week's Monday Motivation, I talk about hate, bigotry, and discrimination and the role white people, especially white men, play in the creation of these horrible human actions. As a white man, I truly believe it's our on us. This is our problem. We perpetuate these injustices and it's on us to stop them.
No ads, no theme song even, just the message. It's that important.
As a reminder, this season, I'll be more regularly putting out Monday episodes. When I have a special episode worthy of releasing, it will still be those. When I don't, I'll be putting out these instead. I call them Monday Motivations and they're short episodes that are meant to start conversations.
What do you think? Everyone who responds, either by social media or my website, will get a sticker mailed to them. The first person to respond each week will get a magnet! So reach out or post something on your personal social media and tag me (and maybe share the show in the process?)!

The Birth of Cannabis Legalization with Mason Tvert Mar 12, 2021

Season 2 Episode 19!The Birth of Cannabis Legalization
On this week's episode, I chat with Mason Tvert! Mason was called the "Don Draper of Pot" by Politico for his work helping rebrand cannabis and building a groundswell of support for its legalization in Colorado. Mason has spent the decade since that campaign helping other states, and countries, replicate Colorado's legalization imitative and the stories he has to tell from this work (like challenging John Hickenlooper to a duel and running cannabis ads that parodied notorious beer ads at a Nascar race) are astounding! You can learn more about Mason at https://vicentesederberg.com/people/mason-tvert/.
Today's Good Egg: take some time to consider if you're agreeing to something to be nice, and if so, try to find a solution that works better for you!

Friendship, Group Roles, and Identity with Spark Tabor and Pat McGrath
Season 2 Episode 14!
On this week's Monday Motivation, I air a conversation with my long-time friends Pat McGrath (friends for over 28 years) and Spark Tabor (21 years) that originally was on Spark's Cookie's For Breakfast Podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cookies-for-breakfast/id1497795379).

A World-Wide Offensive to End Overdoses.
On this week's episode, I chat with Peter Krykant. Peter is, in all honestly and without hyperbole, a hero. He was tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching the number of overdoses grow.

Isabel Wilkerson, Talib Kweli, and Caste Feb 08, 2021

Isabel Wilkerson, Talib Kweli, and Caste
Season 2 Episode 10!
This episode is dedicated to my listeners in Germany who LOVE the Monday Motivation episodes.
On this week's Monday Motivation I discuss the book Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, the relationship between Caste and Racism as best I can relate it (I'm sure I didn't do nearly a good enough job) and tell the story of the time, after renting my condo to the rapper Talib Kweli, I was drawn into a fight as a bunch of rich white people clutched their pearls at his merely living in the building.
As a reminder, this season, I'll be more regularly putting out Monday episodes. When I have a special episode worthy of releasing, it will still be those. When I don't, I'll be putting out these instead. I call them Monday Motivations and they're short episodes that are meant to start conversations.

Monday Motivation: Embrace The Unknown Feb 01, 2021

Season 2 Episode 8.
On this week's Monday Motivation I discuss why I think it's a good thing, even comforting in a way, to embrace the unknown. I tell two stories about times I was forced to do so.

Special Episode: Chatting with John Loxley of the Life in Recovery Podcast Jan 25, 2021

Season 2, Episode 6, the first Special Episode of the season!
It's not a traditional podcast chat but we both enjoyed it so much we decided to put it out as episodes of both of our podcasts. John and I come to our recovery from very different perspectives. And you hear it in this chat. But we discussed that head on and found all the ways our ideas overlap.
You can listen to more from John at his podcast, The Life in Recovery (https://lifeinrecovery.buzzsprout.com/210877)
One note: I normally record on Zencastr. Zencastr wasn't working for John so we recorded on Zoom... and I didn't realize until 75% of the way through the convo that my mic wasn't on! So I was recording through my computer mic and it sounds like trash. Sorry!
