Alcohol, Friend Or Foe? - #191 Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

This episode was originally recorded on Ben's show Ben Coomber Radio.

I enjoyed this discussion about alcohol and drinking habits so much, I figured I'd put it on Modern Wisdom too. Lots more talking by me on this one, which you might enjoy.

As bars & pubs reopen after lockdown, it's a crucial time to remind yourself of being intentional & deliberate with your drinking. Rather than restarting a weekend warrior lifestyle, now could be a great opportunity to reset your routine & habits around alcohol. Enjoy this discussion, big thanks to Ben for letting me use the episode.

How To Work Out What You Want To Want From Life - Kyle Eschenroeder - #189 Jun 27, 2020

Show notes

Kyle Eschenroeder is a marketer and a writer.

You do not want to live a life that you regret at the end of it. But working out what you WANT to want is a topic no one ever talks about.

When you follow your default desires, you're much more likely to find yourself at a place in life that you didn't really want to be, or mean to get to. Today, we learn how to step into our programming and actively design our direction in life. I love this topic.
