About a year ago, I gave Scott one of his first surfing lessons at Venice Beach. On the wave he maintained a low, crouched position and kept his eyes straight ahead … just like I told him. Nice job, Scott!

#73 How to Start (and Stick With) Good Writing Habits (:micro) Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

There's something about putting pen to paper that helps us separate the wheat from the chaff. Journaling helps us track what is working in our lives and what needs to change, bringing both our fears and dreams into the light of awareness. Know all this, but you're still not doing it? Here are some tips to get you started with a consistent journaling habit.

Try this journaling exercise:

Designate a specific time each day to sit down and write.
Set a timer for, say, three minutes. When the timer goes off, stop writing!
Make sure to have your writing prompts ready.

The trick is to "James Clear" it: Make the journaling task obvious, attractive, easy and satisfying.

#69 Shane Heath On How To Hire, Journaling Techniques, & Microdosing Ayahuasca (:macro) Sep 29, 2022

Show notes

Shane Heath (@somanypossibilities) is MUD\WTR's founder & CEO. He's also my boss. So, I'd like to take a moment to talk about his biceps. They're like pythons, or wet rope. And lately he's been looking extra youthful, like a baby. A super-jacked baby with vision. I think it's because of his new hyperbaric chamber, which we discuss in this episode. It almost killed him because he didn't read the directions before climbing inside. We talk about that too. Please tell Shane how much you loved this episode so I can keep my job.—Kyle

Show notes

Chris Keener is one of my favorite creative collaborators in the whole wild world. He's the head of MUD\FILMS, and I get to write scripts with him by day, then philosophize with him by night: To be, or not to be? Are we alone in the universe? Vanilla or chocolate milkshake at In-n-Out? He's a breathwork coach and every Wednesday leads our team through a lil' guided breathwork session. A master storyteller, Chris has worked with National Geographic, Discovery Channel, ESPN and the Travel Channel. He produced the five-part docuseries We Speak Dance for Netflix. But now MUD\WTR gets all of his attention, which we are all very happy about.
