Julia Butterfly Hill’s Story: 6 Lessons on The Power of One to Create Change | EP 525 Oct 25, 2024

What can one person do to change the world? Julia Butterfly Hill answered this question with an extraordinary act of courage and conviction. In 1997, with no formal training in activism or environmentalism, Julia climbed into a 1,000-year-old redwood tree named Luna and refused to come down for over two years. Her purpose? To save the ancient redwood from being logged.

In this episode of Passion Struck, we examine the powerful story behind Julia's 738-day tree-sit and how her unwavering commitment drew global attention to the devastation of ancient forests. Julia’s story isn’t just about environmental activism—it’s a profound example of how one person’s intentional choice can spark a ripple effect, inspiring people worldwide to take action for causes they believe in.

Through Julia's remarkable journey, we unpack her lessons about courage, personal transformation, and the power of standing up for something—even if you're standing alone. You’ll also hear insights on how you, too, can make a difference, starting with the small choices you make every day.

Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/julia-butterfly-hill-the-power-of-one/

Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect support system to act. Like Julia Butterfly Hill, you have the power to make a difference—no matter how small you think your actions might be. What’s one thing you can do today to create positive change? Let us know in the comments and start your journey toward impact.

In this episode, you will learn:

The Impact of One: Julia Butterfly Hill’s story demonstrates how a single individual, without formal support or experience, can inspire a global movement through unwavering determination.
Taking a Stand: Julia’s 738-day tree sit was a profound act of civil disobedience, showing the power of standing up for a cause, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
Mindful Choices: Living in the tree made Julia mindful of every decision, from conserving food to collecting water, teaching us that even our smallest actions can have far-reaching consequences.
Bravery and Growth: Julia’s experience teaches that true transformation often starts with discomfort, and that courage grows when we step beyond our comfort zones.
Love Over Anger: Although initially fueled by anger, Julia learned that leading with love for the earth and future generations was a more enduring and impactful approach.
Strength in Community: Julia’s journey emphasizes the value of community support—her success was made possible by the network of activists and allies who stood by her through the trials she faced.

Do You See Life as a Portfolio? Choice Bracketing Can Help! w/John R. Miles EP 510 Sep 20, 2024

In today’s episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing, a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future.

You’ll learn how Bezos applied the regret minimization framework to launch Amazon and how Buffett’s investment philosophy is rooted in viewing life through a long-term lens.

Mimi Bouchard on Unleashing the Power of Activations EP 453 May 10, 2024

https://passionstruck.com/passion-struck-book/—Order a copy of my new book, "Passion Struck: Twelve Powerful Principles to Unlock Your Purpose and Ignite Your Most Intentional Life," today! The book was picked by the Next Big Idea Club as a must-read for 2024, the winner of the Business Business Minds Best Book 2024, and shortlisted for the Eric Hoffer First Grand Prize.

I had the incredible opportunity to dive deep into the world of personal transformation with the founder of Superhuman, Mimi Bouchard. The conversation delves into "activations," a concept pioneered by Mimi Bouchard. Unlike traditional meditation, which seeks to quiet the mind, activations aim to energize and transform the listener. These audio sessions are designed to be incorporated into daily routines, helping individuals rewire their neural pathways by associating new, empowering beliefs with regular activities. This method is presented as a practical tool for embedding transformation into everyday life, enhancing the accessibility and impact of personal development.

Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/mimi-bouchard-unleash-the-power-of-activations/

In this episode, you will learn:

The importance of transformation and self-identification in personal development.
How to overcome fear and uncertainty about the future, especially in the face of AI advancements.
The role of resourcefulness in starting and growing a successful business is demonstrated by Mimi's journey with Superhuman.
The power of activations and unique audio experiences in transforming lives and achieving success.
The significance of clarity, consistency, and customer feedback in building a successful subscription-based business.

Seth Godin on How You Create the Song of Significance EP 299 May 30, 2023

Seth Godin, a world-renowned thought leader, experienced a profound moment of realization regarding the need for significance in work culture. Witnessing countless individuals around him stuck in the song of safety, their lives fueled by fear and obedience broke his heart. He knew that there had to be a better way, one that emphasizes respect, dignity, meaning, and autonomy in the workplace. This led him to develop the concept of the Song of Significance, a melody that resonates with those who seek to find meaning in their work and live their lives with purpose.

Transforming the Future of Work with Seth Godin: Creating a Song of Significance

To unlock your employees' full potential, you must treat them with the respect and autonomy they deserve as human beings. You can either continue treating your employees as disposable resources and join the AI-fueled race to the bottom, or you can build a significant organization that enrolls, empowers, and trusts employees to deliver their best work. It is essential to understand that humans are not merely a resource to be purchased, exploited, and then discarded - they are the essence of the workplace, the driving force behind innovation, growth, and success.

Can Seth's groundbreaking concept truly revolutionize the very fabric of our work culture? The answer lies in the depths of his journey, where he uncovers the power to reshape the landscape we know today. Prepare to be captivated, for the winds of change are stirring.

Have you ever heard these myths about long-term success? That you have to choose between a job you love and a high-paying career, that playing the long game means giving up short-term rewards, and that there is only one correct path to success.

Jay Van Bavel on Why You Are the Architect of Your Identity EP 265 Mar 10, 2023

On the Passion Struck podcast, I have the pleasure of hosting Jay Van Bavel, the Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab, Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, and an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations. During the episode, we delve into his insights in his book "The Power of Us," which explores the potential of shared identities to enhance performance, encourage collaboration, and facilitate social unity.

In This Episode, Jay Van Bavel And I Discuss His Book "The Power of Us."

According to Jay Van Bavel, my guest today, many people believe that their identity remains static. However, he argues that the opposite is true. Your identity continuously evolves, frequently beyond your conscious awareness and occasionally against your will, to align with the interests of the groups you associate with. Consequently, it is not unusual for beliefs to persist even after they have been refuted. By comprehending how identity functions, you can seize control and progress from questioning, "Who am I?" to asking, "Who do I aspire to become?"

Steven Kotler on Peak Performance Aging, Flow, and Being Rad EP 260 Feb 28, 2023

Today on Passion Struck, I welcome the Flow Research Collective's Executive Director, Steven Kotler. He is one of the top authorities on human performance and a multi-award-winning journalist. Eleven of Steven's books have achieved bestseller status: The Art of Impossible, The Rise of Superman, Bold, and Abundance. We discuss Gnar Country: Getting Old, Remaining Rad, his most recent publication.

Steven Kotler and I Explore His New Book Gnar Country

In this conversation, I discuss aging, skill mastery, neuroscience, psychology, and flow with Steven Kotler. In our culture, aging is seen as a physical and mental decline process as we age. Kotler encourages us to engage in "difficult" tasks that foster mastery and creativity to challenge our preconceived views about aging. We adjust our attitude toward aging when we can gradually push past our physical and mental boundaries, ultimately increasing our longevity.

Paralympian Oksana Masters on How the Hard Parts Lead To Triumph EP 257 Feb 21, 2023

Oksana Masters, the most decorated U.S. Winter Paralympian or Olympian ever, reveals on the Passion Struck Podcast that people often express their admiration for her achievements and assume it was an easy path for her. However, she explains that she faced numerous challenges along the way. She did not qualify for her first Paralympic Games and failed to make the national skiing team. In fact, she was even homeless, living in a car just before the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, where she won silver and bronze medals for cross-country skiing. She has gone on to win 17 medals in skiing, rowing, cycling, and biathlon. We discuss her new memoir, The Hard Parts.

Oksana Masters and I Explore Her Memoir "The Hard Parts"

Oksana Masters' story is one that transcends any single category or definition. It is a tale of both horror and heroism, disdain and love, excruciating pain, and immense joy. She has been an orphan, a double-leg amputee, a Ukrainian, an American, and a seven-time Paralympic gold medalist. Yet, none of these labels can fully capture the complexity of her life, which we explore in today's episode.

Although transformation may seem unrealistic, it is attainable for all by embracing challenges and adopting daily self-improvement practices. The first step towards this goal is to rise at 5 a.m. and utilize the first hour of your day to gain an advantage. I'll explore its benefits and how you can put the 5 AM Club into practice in your own life.

Stefan Falk on Why Intrinsic Motivation Is Vital to Success EP 252 Feb 09, 2023

I welcome Stefan Falk to Passion Struck, who is a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life. We explore his new book Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before.

Stefan Falk discusses why intrinsic motivation is vital to success

Stefan Falk and I discuss why to achieve productivity and positivity in both personal and professional life, it's important to have a sense of control, an understanding of current events and future prospects, and a strong and supportive social network. The need for connection and trust has become even more crucial with the rise of remote work. However, many of us struggle to meet these needs effectively and instead resort to unhelpful coping strategies. The key to success is to develop intrinsic motivation by focusing on activities that align with our career and life goals, rejecting a competitive mentality, finding joy in our work, and doing it well.

Dr. Ethan Kross on the Hidden Power of Our Inner Voice EP 245 Jan 24, 2023

Today I am joined on the Pasion Struck podcast by the award-winning psychologist and author Dr. Ethan Kross, who reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and how we can harness it to live healthier, more satisfying, and more productive lives. Dr. Kross is the author of "Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It."

What We Discuss About The Power of Our Inner Voice

Ethan Kross delves into the inner dialogue we engage in with ourselves. Through research from his lab and real-world examples, such as a struggling pitcher and a spy balancing her dual identities, Kross demonstrates how these internal conversations shape our lives, careers, and relationships. He cautions that succumbing to negative self-talk, referred to as "chatter" by Kross, can harm our physical and mental health, undermine our mood, damage our social connections, and make us falter under stress.

7 Ways to Stop Playing the Victim to Your Circumstances w/ John R. Miles EP 229 Dec 16, 2022

Too often, we allow our psyche to control our lives. We become prisoners of our own minds and victims of our own circumstances. In this episode, John shares an important message about six ways to recognize we are playing the victim and seven steps to overcome our victim mentality and live intentionally.

What I Discuss About Playing the Victim

By nature, nobody is a victim. Playing the victim is not a psychological feature but rather a learned behavior. Most of the time, those with victim mentalities go through trauma or difficult situations without developing better-coping skills. In fact, this is referred described by psychologists as "learned helplessness," a condition in which people who have experienced terrible events feel helpless to get out of their predicament.

Why Knowing When to Quit May Be the Best of All Strategies w/ John R. Miles EP 226 Dec 09, 2022

In this episode, I discuss the significance of knowing when to quit vs. when to persevere. Quitting is crucial for your long-term personal development, and knowing when to leave can be the wisest choice you make, whether it's a career that's not satisfying you or a relationship that's not suitable for you. Welcome to Momentum Friday!

What I Discuss About Knowing When to Quit

In today’s episode, I’ll explain why perseverance is a good trait. I will then discuss the human tendency to persevere for too long and teach you when and how to correctly quit a path that no longer serves you. I will begin with the story of an unfortunate tragedy on Mount Everest, which might have been avoided if the involved climbers had simply known the right time to quit.

Max H. Bazerman on How to Overcome Complicity and Create a More Ethical World EP 215 Nov 15, 2022

Today I talk to Dr. Max H. Bazerman, the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Max and I discuss his new book, "Complicit," and explore the root causes of complicity, how it's enabled and how to stop it.

What We Discuss with Max H. Bazerman

While It is easy to blame obvious offenders, we rarely consider the many people supporting their unethical or criminal behaviors. There was a corroborating cast of people who were complicit: business partners, investors, news organizations, employees, and others. And, whether we’re aware of it or not, most of us have been complicit in the unscrupulous behavior of others. We explore complicity through the stories of McKinsey, Arthur Andersen, Theranos, ExxonMobile, and BP and learn valuable lessons on not only what creates complicity but our role in allowing it to happen.

What We Discuss with Juliet Funt

Juliet explains why reinserting “white space” is vital in our days. This is the time when we can breathe, contemplate, prepare, and create. The name came from looking at the literal white spaces on a lightly scheduled paper calendar and discovering that those open blocks reveal how many opportunities that day could hold. To access it, you take a strategic pause. Stop what you are doing, and white space will rush in.

The Power of Forgiveness and 5 Important Ways to Forgive w/John R. Miles EP 208 Oct 28, 2022

In today's episode, I tackle the power of forgiveness by examining it through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. I then provide five powerful ways to forgive. If you're like most people, the thought of forgiving someone who has hurt you probably seems like the last thing you want to do on earth. This doesn't make you resentful—it just makes you human.

Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/).

What I Discuss About the Power of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is difficult because evolution has taught us to avoid being exploited by others. One of the easiest ways to prevent exploitation is by retaliating or avoiding the offender. Choosing to forgive someone who has caused you pain can free you from the harm caused by others. However, unforgiveness can tie you to your past, stealing you of peace and joy.

Jeremy Utley on Why Mastering Ideaflow Elevates Everything Else You Do EP 206 Oct 25, 2022

Stanford professor Jeremy Utley joins us on Passion Struck to discuss his new book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric that Matters, co-written with Perry Klebahn. Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/).

Let's face it. We all strive for grand ideas, but very few truly comprehend how novel ideas are born. Innovation is not a one-time event, nor is it a sprint or a hackathon. It comes from the mastery of ideaflow, a technique that advances everything else you do. The simple fact is that ideas matter. That is why innovators focus on inputs instead of outputs. According to Jeremy, innovators don't obsess over quality, they develop quantity.

Jeremy Utley is the Director of Executive Education at Stanford’s d.school and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s School of Engineering. He is the co-host of the d.school’s widely popular program, “Stanford’s Masters of Creativity.”

5 Ways You Can Break Free From Digital Addiction w/John R. Miles EP 205 Oct 21, 2022

In today's Momentum Friday episode of Passion Struck, I tackle digital addiction and five ways that you can break free from it. Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck).

We are immersed in an era of smartphone obsession and digital addiction. I hear it all the time: “I can’t live without my smartphone,” or “I feel apprehensive when I’m not able to check my messages,” or “If I’m not on social media, I fear I’m missing out.”

Not surprisingly, research reveals that too much technology use diminishes our physiological and physical health, human connection, our work performance and is destroying our relationships.

Short of throwing your device away, how can you learn to build better habits around technology — keeping its benefits while minimizing the adverse effects? In today’s episode, I explore why smartphones are killing conversations and human-to-human connections we need to feel fulfilled. I’ll start by talking about a personal experience I had earlier today. I will then discuss why smartphones are negatively impacting our connections and provide five ways that you can break free from digital addiction.

Dr. Nate Zinsser on How Do You Create a Confident Mind EP 204 Oct 20, 2022

Dr. Nate Zinsser joins me on Passion Struck to discuss how you create a confident mind. Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck).

Have you ever wondered how best to harness your belief in yourself to succeed in any field?

Dr. Nate Zinsser and I discuss why NFL quarterbacks like Eli Manning can rise to the moment and achieve peak performance. Why, whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, how you can perform best when you are so sure about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum.

Dr. Zinnser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the highest—on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes, including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome the pressure and succeed on the biggest stages. For the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience in his book The Confident Mind, which is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

Dolly Chugh on How to Create a More Just Future EP 203 Oct 18, 2022

Dolly Chugh joins me on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss her new book, A More Just Future. In our interview, Dolly provides a frank yet endearing compass for "embracing the paradox" that America was built on the idea that all people are equal. Yet it was founded on slavery. Chugh interweaves lessons on structural racism, the patriot's dilemma, and settler colonialism. We discuss her study of good people and why we should stop focusing on being a good person so that we can become a better one. We explore the contradictions of US history and how we should learn to view them, connecting the dots between current events and the past.

Dolly Chugh is a Harvard-educated, award-winning social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business, where she is an expert researcher in the psychology of good people. In 2018, she delivered the popular TED Talk “How to let go of being a ‘good’ person and become a better person.” She is the author of A More Just Future and The Person You Mean to Be.

In today's episode, I will tackle vulnerability by sharing the story of my friend who struggled with how to be vulnerable. I will discuss what being vulnerable means, why we avoid it, the benefits of being vulnerable, and five ways I have found you can build it.

Why Personal Growth Comes on the Other Side of Pain w/John R. Miles EP 199 Oct 07, 2022

Often times hardship halts even the best of us in our tracks. It becomes this heavy weight that stops us from becoming our best selves. But in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, I will explain why experiencing pain in life allows the vast, dormant power within you to awaken and express itself. I will build upon this premise by discussing my own personal journey and how I experienced pain and grew from it. But, more importantly, I will explain how my story applies to you and how you can turn to experiencing pain as a pathway for personal growth.

Andreas Widmer on Why Principled Entrepreneurship Creates Enduring Value EP 198 Oct 06, 2022

Andreas Widmer joins us on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss principled entrepreneurship and how it creates enduring value for the customer through your own excellence. Thank you InsideTracker (https://insidetracker.com/passionstruck) and Dry Farm Wines (https://www.dryfarmwines.com/passionstruck/) for sponsoring.

Principled entrepreneurs unite people to their passion by creating value for their customers through inspired teams. They do this by seeing businesses as being made for people’s benefit and not the other way around. For the principled entrepreneur, the company is focused on others even when it is fueled by self-interest.

Andreas Widmer is a seasoned entrepreneur passionate about helping business professionals find deeper meaning in their work and sustainable success through principled entrepreneurship. Andreas has taught entrepreneurship at the Catholic University of America’s Busch School of Business since 2012. He is the author of the new book: The Art of Principled Entrepreneurship: Creating Enduring Value. He is also the author of The Pope and the CEO, Good Profit, and Human Ecology.

Daniel Pink on Why the Power of Regret Can Transform Your Life EP 197 Oct 04, 2022

A significant portion of modern culture proposes that we live with no regrets. You may have even seen people sporting 'no regrets' tattoos. But what if that advice is significantly wrong and regret was, in fact, actually a helpful thing? That's the highly provoking question today's guest, Daniel Pink, poses in our Passion Struck podcast interview.

Pink then answers the question using scientific research and two of the most extensive mega studies ever done on the subject, which validate that regret can be an incredibly valuable experience and powerful tool for creating a well-lived life. In fact, he argues that a life entirely without regret might even do more harm than good.

With millions of copies of his #1 New York Times bestselling big-idea books sold, a renowned TED talk that has been viewed more than thirty-eight million times, lectures around the world, and the acclaim of everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to Oprah, Daniel H. Pink has changed the way we live by changing how we think. His books have sold millions of copies, are translated into 42 languages, and won multiple awards. Today, we discuss Dan's newest bestselling book, The Power of Regret: How Looking Back Moves us Forward.

Daniel Pink Discusses The Power of Regret:

Have you ever wondered why regret is essentially about opportunity, and missed opportunities? Of course, some people have more opportunities than others. Does that affect the amount of regret they feel? Do people with more opportunities have more regrets? Should we use our regret more wisely or have less of it? How do we take advantage of regret without getting trapped in rumination? And why instead of running away from negative emotions, we should engage with them and use them to learn. And so much more.

If you desire a winning mentality that takes your mindset to where it needs to be, you need to change your perception of your reality.

Douglas Rushkoff on Survival of the Richest: Don’t Believe Their Mindset EP 192 Sep 22, 2022

Professor and author Douglas Rushkoff (@douglasrushkoff) joins me on Passion Struck with John R. Miles to discuss how human behavior has become controlled by technology, as the "Mindset" of the obscenely wealthy is pushing us towards a world where they scale money infinitely, resulting in a fractured system with enormous wealth and income inequality.

Douglas Rushkoff is a professor of media theory and digital economics at Queens/CUNY. Named one of the world’s ten most influential intellectuals by MIT, he has been exploring, celebrating, and bemoaning tech development since the early 1990s. He hosts the Team Human podcast and has authored 20 books.

What I Discuss with Douglas Rushkoff

Today’s episode is a bit different from the ones we typically do on the show. Douglas and I will talk today about what the super-rich have termed "the event." Their euphemism for environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, solar storm, unstoppable virus, or malicious computer hack that takes everything down.

According to Douglas, tech billionaires are preparing for this event by configuring their doomsday bunkers. But today’s podcast isn’t only about this, it is about the impact of the future of technology. It’s about the future of humanity and the need to unite intentionally to solve the world’s issues.

Seth Godin on Why We Need Systems Change to Save the Planet EP 187 Sep 09, 2022

Seth Godin joins the Passion Struck podcast to discuss The Carbon Almanac and why tackling climate change requires changing the system.

One of the things that we need to understand about the climate crisis is that we cannot simply reduce our way out of this problem. We have a systems problem. And the system problem is very simple: carbon extracted from the ground in the form of concrete, combustion, and cows is underpriced. We have been stealing from our future by burning stuff way too cheap.

What Exxon knew in 1982 that they kept hidden from the world
The purpose of the Carbon Almanac
The Impact of Coal, Combustion, Cows, and Concrete

Understanding the Value of Time: The Wisdom of the Stoics w John R. Miles EP 184 Sep 02, 2022

How much is the value of time really worth? Carl Sandburg said, “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.”

In this Momentum Friday episode from the Passion Struck podcast, I tackle the value of time. I examine this by studying wisdom from the stoics on the topic and using ten of their mantras for managing time.

Members of the Passion Struck community have asked questions like, "Why do I always feel there aren't there enough hours in the day to do the things I want to do?", "Why do I keep procrastinating?", "Why do I waste my time doing frivolous things?", Why am I constantly dissatisfied with where my life is going?" and many other similar questions. This episode is dedicated to answering them.

This episode tackles how to figure out what your time is worth and use that information to spend your time more effectively. Learning how to get the most out of your time starts with knowing exactly what your time is worth.

Loneliness Is NOT a Joke. Here Are 9 Ways to Deal With It w/John R. Miles EP 181 Aug 26, 2022

Over the past few months, the growing chronic loneliness epidemic has come up repeatedly in my interviews on the Passion Struck podcast. Given its prevalence, I decided to devote this episode to addressing its significance.

Loneliness is a human sentiment that is complicated and unique to every person. Because there isn't a known common cause, the consequences of loneliness and its prevention can vary dramatically.

Anne Hathaway did a great job articulating her feelings about loneliness in the following quote, "Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me."

Her quote brings to life how differently we each experience loneliness. For example, a lonely elderly person who struggles to have people to talk to has different needs than a college student leaving home for the first time.

In today's Momentum Friday Passion Struck podcast episode, I dive into what it means to be "lonely," as well as the causes and consequences of loneliness, and provide ten different ways to deal with loneliness.

8 Ways to Stop Making Excuses in Order to Unlock an Intentional Life w/ John R. Miles EP 178 Aug 19, 2022

John R. Miles - Eight ways to stop making excuses to unlock an intentional life. Brought to you by Indeed. Receive a $75 credit at: https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck.

People often ask me, 'How does making excuses impact intentional positive change in life?'

In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” As cruel as that sounds, Franklin's words are closer to reality than we think. Until we stop making excuses, we will encounter consequences to living our lives with focus, purpose, and intentionality. Trust me when I say, making excuses is one of the worst things you can do if you desire to become your best self.

What I Discuss With Ari Wallach

The question we're asking ourselves, and we've continuously been asking ourselves for 1000s of years, is "Who am I and why am I here?" Suppose you are living a life that now has a purpose for something bigger than yourself. In that case, the immediate payoff is that you are now finding that the things that you do and the interactions that you have with yourself, your own inner voice with other humans, the things that you consume, and the ways that you vote, are no longer just about you. We explore the following topics:

What is a “futurist”?
What are the foundational principles of the Longpath perspective?
What Ari means when he says “short-termism”
What is “transgenerational empathy”?
What are a few examples of the Longpath perspective at work today?
Who are the biggest offenders of short-termism?
What is the payoff for planning for a future we won't be around to see?
Why does becoming the great ancestors our future needs built on intentionality

What I Discuss With Dr. Kara Fitzgerald About How You Reverse Your Biological Age Through Lifestyle and Diet Choices

Dr. Fitzgerald and I discuss how there is a link between aging and chronic disease, and it has everything to do with epigenetics and their effect on aging. Biological age looks at specific patterns of a key epigenetic mark called DNA methylation. These DNA methylation patterns can reliably predict how fast our body is aging.

Methylation is as essential to our bodies as breathing and is happening in our bodies and within our cells all of the time. Therefore, if you can give yourself the DNA methylations of a younger you, you can reset your biological aging process. She provides key ways to do this throughout our interview that are based on her years of experience backed by clinical trials.

Why do most adults spend the last 16 years of their lives suffering from chronic conditions and taking multiple medications?
Why reversing biological age is key.
Why it's epigenetics and not your genetics that determines your level of health and age
How is epigenetic expression greatly influenced by DNA methylation?
How do our diet and lifestyle choices impact DNA methylation?
The results of her research and a groundbreaking clinical trial showed a reduction of biological age by three years.
Why it is our daily choices and routines that add years to your life or reduce them
Her diet and lifestyle program which increases healthspan and reduces your biological age.
And so much more.

What I Discuss With D.J. Vanas about the Warrior Within

Drawing inspiration from Native American philosophy and tradition, D.J. discusses how The Warrior Within showcases a new standard of personal power in the face of overwhelming disorder. A genuine warrior is not the most formidable or most courageous person in the room. A real warrior is committed to self-proficiency, knows how to navigate life's transitions and disruption, converts setbacks into possibilities for accomplishment, refuses to give up, and most importantly, always fights for something greater than the self.

How going through the Sundance Ceremony transformed his life and image of being a warrior.
Air Force Academy experiences
What a warrior is and what a warrior is not.
What is the difference between a fighter and a warrior?
Intentional desire to serve in the right way.
The importance of each of us finding our own tribe.
Why can't we be a warrior when we're falling apart inside?
How can you apply the warrior spirit to overcome perfectionism?
Why Humility is the great equalizer.

Why We Fail to Take Responsibility for Our Life w/John R. Miles EP 169 Jul 29, 2022

People often ask me, 'Why do we fail to take responsibility for our choices?'

In the words of Jim Rohn, "Either you run the day, or the day runs you." This illustrates how essential it is for us to take charge of our habits or inadvertently allow our choices to dictate our life.

When we fail to act, we allow fate to control our lives instead of us owning our destiny. As I discussed in last week's episode, it's why mediocre choices lead us to be average.

Why We Must Take Responsibility for our lives.

John R. Miles - Why average choices lead to mediocre results. | Brought to you by AppSumo's application marketplace (https://social.appsumo.com/passion), Gusto's all-in-one HR solution https://www.gusto.com/passionstruck, the Policygenius insurance comparison website (https://www.policygenius.com/), and Indeed the platform for hiring (https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck).

In last week's episode, I argued that mediocrity achieved as an end result of all our best efforts is not bad. But, it is when we intentionally practice habits that lead to being mediocre.

The truth is no one wants the title of being mediocre. Everyone desires to be unique, outstanding, and gifted. However, until you create an environment around yourself that fosters excellent choices, you will persist in making daily choices that make you average at best.

Kara Robinson Chamberlain on Why You Must Be Vigilant about Your Safety EP 165 Jul 21, 2022

Kara Robinson Chamberlain - Why you must be vigilant about your safety. | Brought to you by AppSumo's application marketplace (https://social.appsumo.com/passion), Gusto's all-in-one HR solution https://www.gusto.com/passionstruck, the Policygenius insurance comparison website (https://www.policygenius.com/), and Indeed the platform for hiring (https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck).

Kara Robinson Chamberlain was 15 years old when she was approached by a man in her friend's front yard in Columbia, South Carolina. At first, the gentleman appeared friendly, but then he drew a gun, shoved it against her neck, and forced Kara into the back of his car into a storage bin. Over the next 18 hours, Kara was held and sexually assaulted before she miraculously escaped her capture.

Kara's quick action and extensive information she provided law enforcement unveiled that her kidnapper was not only a pedophile but a serial killer who had murdered three other female victims in Virginia: 16-year-old Sofia Silva in 1996 and a year later, sisters 12-year-old Kati Lisk and 15-year-old Kristin Lisk.

Kara's story is nothing short of remarkable. Not only did Kara Robinson Chamberlain heroically escape her kidnapper, but her bravery was instrumental in aiding the police in catching a serial killer before he could murder another victim.

Listener discretion is advised.

What I discuss with Kara Robinson Chamberlain

I thought Kara's story and her long recovery of overcoming the trauma it caused needed to be told. I invited Kara to be on the Passion Struck podcast to narrate her account in her own words. In addition to discussing what happened in 2002, we also discuss why outwardly showing strength can hide how a victim is dealing with their trauma.

Kara explains how her coping with trauma started to take over her life and the steps she took to overcome it. She describes how she is now using her ordeal and years of work in law enforcement to communicate to groups worldwide.

Kara tells her account as a tool to help train those who work with victims. She also wants to empower people to become their best version regardless of their past.

How Do You Overcome the Culture of Exceptionalism? w/ John R. Miles EP 163 Jul 15, 2022

So many of us struggle with a sense of inadequacy because we are immersed in a culture of exceptionalism. As a result, we will not dare even to consider being average, nor do we know how to accept it with humility.

The problem is that this culture of exceptionalism threatens to turn the idea of personal excellence into an anachronism. It is teaching us that it's terrible to be average. As a result, it inflicts people with chronic hopelessness and loneliness because they feel they can't settle for anything but being the best. If they don't, they are a failure.

I discuss the Power of the Downstate with Sara Mednick in this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast

Sara Mednick joins the Passion Struck podcast to discuss why most people find themselves immersed in "upstate" moments that magnify our stress engines, but it doesn't have to be that way. Dr. Mednick shows us how we can assess the most repairing and restorative aspects of sleep through moments and activities that occur in our day-to-day by diving into the Downstate.

Dr. Mednick’s seven-bedroom sleep lab works literally around the clock to discover methods for boosting cognition by napping, stimulating the brain with electricity, sound and light, and pharmacology.

10 Benefits of Meditation for Transforming the Mind and Body w/John R. Miles EP 160 Jul 08, 2022

The ancient practice of meditation is as pertinent today as it was two millennia ago when it was discovered. Amid the turmoil of life, we all could use the scientific benefits of meditation which provides a simple yet effective and convenient way to relax your body, calm your mind, and find inner peace amongst the chaos.

Meditation allows one to observe the mind and still our thoughts, letting the mind perform at its highest levels. As Jeff Warren expressed, “Meditation forces you into a direct collision with a fundamental fact of life that is not often pointed out to us: we all have a voice in our heads.”

What is unconditional love?

Unconditional love does not mean endless or boundless love. It means, “I choose to love you willingly without limitation.” This means that when we offer love, we supply it without anticipating anything in exchange for it.

6 Ways Patience Is an Important Virtue and How You Build It w/John R. Miles EP 151 Jun 17, 2022

John R. Miles - Six Ways Patience Is an Important Virtue and How to Build It. | Brought to you by Masterworks. Go to https://www.masterworks.io/ and use code passion to start.

Today, we live in a fast-paced world where we desire results at the speed of thought. We consume our fast foods, get our groceries and meals delivered to our house, drive our fast cars, and respond to the constant instant messaging, all of which can make us prone to impatience.

Now, it is okay for some things to be done faster. But not for everything. And that is why it is so vital to understand the importance of patience.

What I discuss about the six ways patience is a virtue and how to build it:

Speed has its benefits. But, many people misinterpret that real art comes in the form of understanding when to apply both: speed at a micro-level and patience at a macro one to ultimately accomplish our end goals. I will use the story of the Chinese Bamboo tree to illustrate the benefits of patience and six ways to practice it.

What I discuss with Jesse Gould

Jesse Gould joins me in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast to discuss his mission to help military veterans struggling with mental trauma and spread awareness of the benefits of psychedelic therapies as an alternative treatment to pharmaceuticals.

For centuries, indigenous healers and Native Americans have used psychedelic plants for therapy and medical treatment. Ayahuasca, for instance, has been used over 5000 years to facilitate personal and collective healing. During ceremonies, healers would often help provide recovery and reconcile the trauma people had experienced. Over the past century, psychedelics were labeled as illicit drugs and prohibited. Jesse's goal is to change that and legalize their use for mental health ailments.

If you discovered this episode of Passion Struck, you are likely on the path of self-discovery and seeking knowledge on how to do it. You are not alone. Often we focus so much on the desired end-state of our goals that we miss the essential part—our journey to achieving your aspirations. I will discuss the impediments along the way to achieving this journey and provide various ways you can stay on track to creating your best life. I do this by using the story of Cheryl Snead, an African American business leader, and philanthropist who understood why life is about the journey not the destination.

The result is a rare window into the inner workings of our minds, our relationships, and our sense of who we are.

We discuss why Michael has spent the past decade studying the psychology of secrets. He reveals his research involving over 50,000 participants from around the world on why we keep the secrets we keep—most commonly addiction, infidelity, mental health struggles, romance, and financial hardship. We discuss the psychology behind secrets, how they affect us, and how to better understand and cope with them. Through the secrets you carry, you discover a hidden self, and so much more.

What I discuss with Sarah Fay:

Almost one in five people (47.1 million) in the US have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. That number increased by about 1.5 million from last year. More may follow with a mounting sense of isolation in our fragmented country. But is a mental diagnosis the path to healing or a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Sarah suffered from six mental illness diagnoses for almost thirty years, all labeled because of the DSM. She realized the DSM is seriously flawed, even useless, but it's all we have through that process.

Why You Must Feel to Heal w/ John R. Miles Episode 142 May 27, 2022

John R. Miles - why you must feel to heal and 6 ways you can do it. | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck) for up to 60% off.

If you found this podcast, you are likely searching for how to heal your emotional pain of some sort. You may wonder how it is even possible. As I explain in the episode, yes—emotional healing is always possible if we make the deliberate choice to tackle our pain. I discuss why we often try to numb the pain instead of confronting it, and I provide six ways to approach that healing.

The reality is that following the emotional pain you are healing from, you are forever changed. I realize that can feel scary, but it can also be incredibly freeing as you experience post-traumatic growth.

To Risk It All

Admiral Stavridis joins us to discuss his new book To Risk It All where he delivers a master class in decision-making under pressure seen through the prism of some of the most heroic acts in the 250-year history of the United States Navy.

The decision-makers Stavridis profiles range from the American Revolutionary War to the present day, for example:

Doris “Dorie” Miller, was the first Black American awarded the Navy Cross after he bravely remained on a sinking ship at Pearl Harbor to help his crewmates.
Rear Admiral Michelle Howard, whose ability to simultaneously delegate authority yet bear full responsibility was instrumental in the 2009 rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates.
Civil War Navy admiral David Farragut, whose adaptability to new technologies and decisive actions based on calculated odds defined his success.

Why We Become What We Think About w/ John R. Miles EP 139 May 20, 2022

John R. Miles - Why we become what we think about and seven ways you can build positive beliefs | Brought to you by Masterworks (https://www.masterworks.io/ code passion)

Notable American radio speaker and author Earl Nightingale once said, “We become what we think about.” This truthful statement embodies and emphasizes just how vital our mindsets and beliefs are to creating the lives we live.

Why do we become our beliefs?

A belief is any cognitive notion that is held as accurate. It is the acceptance that something exists, even though its existence cannot be proved. This means that the potency of a belief is entirely dependent on a person’s choice to accept or reject it.

Take, for example, two people with similar qualifications who are given $1000 to use for starting a new business. One of them believes they can start a business, profit, and earn thousands of dollars — a beneficial belief. In contrast, the other person believes $1,000 is too little to start anything of meaning and fails to start anything — a restricting belief.

Gretchen Rubin on the Key to Happiness Is Knowing Yourself EP 134 May 09, 2022

Gretchen Rubin - The Key to Happiness Is Knowing Yourself | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck and Trade Coffee (https://drinktrade.com/passionstruck).

Gretchen Rubin is an expert on understanding human nature and being able to explain complex emotional topics in easy-to-digest ways. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Happiness Project, Better Than Before, Outer Order Inner Calm, and Happier at Home. Gretchen has an enormous readership, both in print and online, and her books have sold almost three and a half million copies worldwide, in more than thirty languages.

The Key to Happiness is Knowing Yourself

On her popular weekly podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin, she discusses good habits and happiness with her sister Elizabeth Craft; they’ve been called the “Click and Clack of podcasters.” Fast Company named Gretchen to its list of Most Creative People in Business, and she’s a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. She’s been interviewed by Oprah, walked arm-in-arm with the Dalai Lama, and eaten dinner with Daniel Kahneman.

On the Passion Struck podcast I discuss with Gretchen the life lessons she learned clerking for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. How during that clerkship she realized that her purpose was to become a writer and not a lawyer. How the study of human nature became her purpose and the key to knowing yourself. The difference between happiness and being happy. Her views on how negative experiences influence our happiness. The importance of decluttering our lives and why doing so brings us more joy, building habits, the key role they play in building happiness and so much more.

Why Self-Acceptance Is the KEY to Creating Your BEST LIFE with John R. Miles EP 133 May 06, 2022

Why Self-Acceptance is the Key to Creating Your Best Life. Sam Berns's inspirational story and what we can learn from his courageous life. | Brought to you by Masterworks (https://masterworks.io use code passion to start).

Self-acceptance entails ultimately valuing all parts of yourself — both the desirable and undesirable. It means you understand your current reality, come to terms with it, and aspire to live your life as best as possible. Self-acceptance is perhaps the most incredible gift you can give to yourself.

Thank you Feedspot for selecting the Passion Struck as one of the world's most inspirational podcasts.

Self-Acceptance - The Courageous Story of Sam Berns

I will be opening your hearts and minds to the need to love and accept yourself for who you are through the inspirational story of Sam Berns. Additionally, I will lay out practical actions you can take to achieve self-acceptance ultimately.

Sam Berns was diagnosed with a rare, rapid aging disease when he was 2. Sam lived a short but fulfilling life. Just before his untimely death at the age of 17, he was a junior at Foxboro High School in Foxboro, Massachusetts. He achieved the highest honors and earned percussion section leader in the high school marching band during his time there. He also made the prestigious Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

He is featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary Life According to Sam, which premiered on HBO on October 21, 2013, 2 days before his 17th birthday. This episode of the Passion Struck Podcast is dedicated to Sam, progeria research, and the inspiring way he lived. Sam Berns Tedx Talk has 48 Million views: https://youtu.be/36m1o-tM05g

Anne O’Neil on Why Life Like Sports Is a Strategy by Design EP 132 May 04, 2022

Anne O'Neil (@heyanneoneil) on our life like sports is a strategy by design. | Brought to you by Masterworks (https://masterworks.io/ - use code passion to start).

Anne O’Neil is a former WNBA player for the Sacramento Monarchs and a Division 1 Academic and Athletic All-American at Iowa State University where she played for Bill Fennelly. She broke the Iowa High School State scoring record and was later inducted into the Iowa Girls Basketball Hall of Fame. Following a 12-year tenure in the athletic and healthcare industries, she took her expertise to Palo Alto Networks where she is a cyber transformational leader. She is also the host host of the Get Busy Livin podcast.

Strategy by Design

On the Passion Struck Podcast, Anne and I discuss how life, like basketball, is really strategy by design. And just as each play, makes a difference for each individual game, the same holds true for the moments that make up our daily activities. She believes that ferocity taught her how to read and know where to move her body ahead of time, where to pass the ball ahead of time, and where her teammates were going to be able to shine.

Fear is a complicated thing. In today's episode, I will be taking you on an in-depth journey into the world of the emotion called fear, explaining the neuroscience of fear, giving you details on how fear is learned, and equipping you with knowledge on how you can effectively unlearn fear.

Laurie Singer on You’re Not Crazy: There is Hope for Those Experiencing Anxiety, Obsessions, or Fetishes EP 129 Apr 27, 2022

Laurie Singer - You're Not Crazy: There is hope for those experiencing anxiety, obsessions, or fetishes. | Brought to you by Raycon (https://buyraycon.com/passionstruck) and Athletic Greens (https://athleticgreens.com/passionstruck).

Laurie Singer is a board-certified licensed marriage and family therapist in applied behavior analysis. Motivated by the tragic death of her son in the late 80s, she devoted her life to the field of mental health. She started her own company to create a team approach for helping individuals resolve behavioral and other mental health issues by applying behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Laurie and I discuss how she developed the passion to compete in endurance challenges and what it was like for her to be indoctrinated into the Hall of Fame. The impact on her life from the death of her young son. Why does she believe that anyone who is stuck can become unstuck? How she develops plans that help individuals gain confidence by achieving their goals that they set for themselves. We discussed the strong scientific evidence and understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are highly interdependent how she helps those who suffered deeply from anxiety and its manifestations and so much more.

Kate Gilman Williams on Why Advocacy has No Age Limits and Anyone Can Make a Difference EP 126 Apr 20, 2022

Kate Gilman Williams — How kids can save animals, why advocacy has no age limit and anyone can make a difference. | Brought to you by Trade Coffee (https://drinktrade.com/passionstruck).

Kate is the Founder of Kids Can Save Animals, Founder of Club 15 – an extension of Project 15 from Microsoft, and Author! She launched Kids Can Save Animals to connect her generation with world-renowned conservation organizations, technologists, policymakers, and global leaders who work to save wildlife and wild spaces. Her goal is to save endangered animals.

Born Free USA

Kate was recently named the first Youth Ambassador for Born Free USA. In her role, Kate will speak to her generation about the exploitation and suffering of animals living in captivity, educate kids and teens that animals being used for any kind of human entertainment is wrong, what the illegal pet trade is, and how we all can help end the wildlife trade and trophy hunting.

Let's Go On Safari

At age 8, Kate authored the book Let’s Go On Safari! which takes readers on a safari adventure and encourages children to speak up for animals who don’t have a voice. All sales from the book support the Jane Goodall Institute, The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and Re:Wild. So far, her book has raised over $15,000 for her conservation partners. When Penguin Random House in South Africa picked up Let’s Go On Safari! Kate became the youngest author in history to sign two publishing contracts resulting in a global title release.

In the Summer of 2021, Kate partnered with Jenn Hartmann Luck, Austin-based singer, and songwriter, to produce a song “Kids Can Save Animals.” With each download, 15% supports Re:Wild where Leonardo DiCaprio is the founding board member.

Finding a balanced life helps you improve your overall health. When you have balance, you have time to pay attention to your body's needs. You can prioritize things like diet, exercise, and meditation instead of regretting that you never have time to take care of yourself.

Dr. David Vago on Self Transcendence – How to Experience Personal Growth and Awakening Through Meditation and Meta Awareness Apr 12, 2022

Dr. David Vago on self-transcendence - how to experience personal growth and awakening through meditation and meta-awareness | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck).

David Vago, Ph.D., is on a mission to alleviate suffering and improve well-being through investigating connections between the mind, brain, and body. He is a Research Associate Professor and Director of the Contemplative Neuroscience and Mind-Body Research Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Vanderbilt University. He is part of the faculty for the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology, and Inflammation. Dr. Vago maintains a research associate position in the Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and is also Research Lead for the mental health and well-being platform, Roundglass, and a Mind and Life Institute Fellow. Over one million people have viewed Dr. Vago's Ted Talk on self-transformation.

How Self-Transcendence Impacts Your Self-Identity

Self-transcendence is the idea that there is something to transcend the self as if the self is something that is created through time. Over time, you have certain thoughts and emotions that construct your self-identity. It is a clinical model of self-reification, right conditioning, and habit formation. It all leads to how we conceptualize our identity, our needs, wants, fears, expectations, attitudes, and values. It is how our whole worldview is constructed. And so what meditation does, is it allows you to create a distance with those thoughts to find your greatest peace.

The Science of Learning: What is it and How does it Work? EP 122 with John R. Miles Apr 08, 2022

We all learn differently and understanding the science of learning helps us all uniquely learn better. And the more we know, the easier it is to learn and understand new things regardless of your profession. | Brought to you by Grammarly (https://grammarly.com/passionstruck) and Raycon (https://buyraycon.com/passionstruck).

The science of learning is the ongoing process of information retention over time. Because our memory makes up the very framework through which we make sense of and take action within the present, its importance goes without saying. But how exactly does it work?

I use the unique story of Dr. Siddharth Warrier to illustrate how we learn and why lifelong learning is so important. To read further about today's episode, please visit the show notes on PassionStruck.com/passion_struck_podcast.

Susan Cain on: Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, and How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls EP 121 Apr 05, 2022

Susan Cain — Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls | Brought to you by Grammarly and Raycon.

Susan Cain is one of my favorite authors and completely changed the way I viewed myself and my own strengths. Susan is the author of the Quiet Journal, Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts, and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, which spent eight years on The New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. Her new masterpiece, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, is available now.

Susan’s first record-smashing TED Talk has been viewed more than 40 million times and was named by Bill Gates as one of his all-time favorite talks (and if you like that one, you should check out her most recent TED Talk with violinist Min Kym). LinkedIn named her the top sixth influencer in the world, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Club. They donate all of their proceeds to children’s literacy programs.

Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make us Whole

In her new book, Susan discusses why sadness and the happiness of melancholy are key to achieving self-transcendence and the union between souls. As with the majority of people, you’ve probably been taught your entire life to look at the positive side and be happy no matter what. While there is a place for optimism and looking at the bright side, by burying your melancholy and sadness, you may actually be doing yourself a terrible disservice.

Please enjoy Susan Cain's episode and leave us a 5-Star rating if you love the episode. I know Susan and I would appreciate seeing listener comments. If you would like to watch this episode in addition to listening to it, you can view it here on our YouTube Channel. Please subscribe.

How Do You Create Your Own Success? EP 120 Apr 01, 2022

All around us, people talk about success all the time and the repercussions of what it is and how it is achieved weigh heavily in society today. These definitions are thrust on us by how others perceive our success and how we define it for ourselves. As I've discussed in previous episodes, many people define success in materialistic ways such as earning a degree, buying a house, a car, or a yacht. Others believe it is determined by their career, awards, accolades, and recognition. And some define success as getting married and having a family.

But have you ever thought that success is doing the things you love when you want to do them and with whom you want to do them with?

Famous author and leadership coach Miles Munroe once said, "True success is not a project but a journey." Munroe summarizes that success is not achieved by a single event but by a succession of steps and actions. The quote illustrates that we are never to conclude that a person is unsuccessful simply because of temporary situations that do not fit into the general definition of success.

In today's episode, I delve deep into the true meaning of success by examining the unique rags-to-riches success story of American businesswoman and Shark Tank celebrity investor Barbara Corcoran. Her example illustrates how you can achieve great things by defining success on your terms. We will also go into how you earn and measure true success.

Dr. Jannell MacAulay On: How to Create a Mindset of Winning EP 119 Mar 29, 2022

Dr. Jannell MacAulay is a pilot, commander, special operations consultant, international diplomat, TEDx speaker, and professional instructor. She is a combat veteran with 20 years of experience in the US Air Force. Dr. MacAulay was the first leader to introduce mindfulness as a proactive performance strategy within the United States military.

About Today's Episode with Dr. Jannell MacAulay

I sit down with Jannell to discuss her decision to go to the Air Force Academy. We discuss how she learned how to be her best self through her flight training and serving in combat and her most harrowing flight experience. We discussed what made her start to do mindfulness and why she began to introduce it to her different military assignments. We explore the difference between leadership styles. We explore the difference between somebody who believes that you can change and somebody who thinks you can’t? Why does she believe world-class people, in whatever they do, are paragons of passion. She goes into why she equates mindfulness to doing mental push-ups. We explore her relationship with Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the training course they developed together, and more.

Why is Empathy Vital to Creating a Passion Struck Life? EP 118 Mar 25, 2022

President Barack Obama said, “The biggest problem we have in our society and the world right now is a lack of empathy. We are in great need of people being able to stand in somebody else’s shoes and see the world through their eyes.”

The gap that President Obama alludes to is only growing more expansive as we continually become a society consumed by self-gratitude instead of focusing on ending the suffering of others. That's why it's so important we work at being empathetic. Luckily, we can.

Empathy is a cornerstone for successful relationships, but it is a quality that has to be intentional. Most people like to feel understood, but the mark of maturity is in knowing how to demonstrate understanding. In the end, the knowledge you wish to receive becomes more likely essential adjustments that will help you become a more empathetic person and living life, passion struck.

The Honorable Tim Gallaudet, Ph.D., Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret), is the CEO of Ocean STL Consulting, LLC. Gallaudet served as the Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere/NOAA Administrator and before that Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere/Deputy NOAA Administrator.

What it means to be the Oceanagropher of the U.S. Navy and what that entails. His experience leading the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Some of the major initiatives he oversaw. The importance of the Blue Ocean Economy initiative and his focus on climate change, sustainable fishing, and preserving coral reefs.

What is the Key to Healthy Esteem? EP 116 Mar 18, 2022

At some point in our lives, we've all had times when we felt inadequate and imperfect about ourselves, whether due to a physical flaw or how we perceive ourselves. And the majority of the things we are doing to try to raise our self-esteem are entirely incorrect.

However, by recognizing that we always have the freedom and power to choose how situations in life will affect us, we can rise above challenges and build healthy esteem and self-love for ourselves. Whenever we have the self-confidence to solve issues on the inside, we set ourselves up for success.

In this episode, I will tell the inspiring story of Lizzie Velasquez and use her account to teach the things that do work so that you can apply them in your own life to get those lasting changes on the inside and create healthy self-esteem.

Kate Eckman On: You Are Powerful Enough EP 115 Mar 15, 2022

Kate Eckman is a keynote speaker, author, leadership development, and performance coach. Kate has interviewed some of the world's most prominent newsmakers as a broadcast journalist, from President Barack Obama to Angelina Jolie; serving as the face of multiple global beauty brands as a TV presenter and personality, and working for some of the biggest names in the fashion industry as a professional model. Her book, The Full Spirit Workout, has garnered widespread accolades and is available at all major booksellers.

John R Miles sits down with Kate on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss why you are powerful enough to do anything you set your mind to accomplish. She became an academic all-American swimmer at Penn State and what that experience taught her. When we take care of our inner world, our outer world takes care of itself. How to shed one's inner baggage. We discuss how the suicide of two people close to her led to her book the Full Spirit Workout. We discuss the ten steps she outlines, and we end by talking about winning the game plan and why it is so important to ditch superficial for granular.

The Science and Traits that Promote Curiosity - John R. Miles EP 114 Mar 11, 2022

The majority of the novel discoveries and incredible innovations throughout history, from the printing press to airplanes to landing on the moon, all have something in common: They are the result of curiosity.

The instinct to pursue new knowledge and adventures and explore untried possibilities is a fundamental human characteristic vital to our personal development. When our curiosity is activated, we think more profoundly and rationally about decisions and develop more creative solutions. But what is the science behind curiosity, what are its advantages, and how can we create it in our own life. All questions we will answer in this episode on the science and traits that promote curiosity.

The Key to Enjoying a Rewarding Life is Shared Experiences EP 112 Mar 04, 2022

Noel Gallager said, "I don't live to work; I work to live." I first heard this expression when I was living in Spain, and a Spanish friend told me that, "you Americans live to work, while we Spaniards work to live." As I look back, I should have listened closer to my friend's wise words because they are the keys to living a rewarding life.

In this episode, I discuss the story of Kai-Fu Lee and the experiences of Australian author Bronnie Ware. I use these stories to discuss why experiences are the keys to enjoying a rewarding life, not the pursuit of possessions. I describe the scientific benefits of experiences and how you can relate this to your own journey of intentionality.

You work to live, not live to work. Work on what brings you happiness. The tools from today's episode ought to be helpful for anyone looking to understand how to create a rewarding life.

Michael Anthony On: Take Daily Action to Improve Your Life EP 111 Mar 01, 2022

Michael Anthony is the author of the best-selling book Think Unbroken and is a coach, mentor, and educator for adult survivors of child abuse. Michaels spends his time helping other survivors get out of "The Vortex" to become the hero of their own story and take their life back. Michael hosts the Think Unbroken podcast, teaches at Think Unbroken Academy, and is on a mission to create change in the world.

John R. Miles sits down with Michael Anthony to talk about how he was born to a hyper-abusive drug addict mother who cut his finger off at four years old, a stepfather you pray you never have, and a racist grandmother that pushed him into an identity crisis. By the time he was 9, his family was in poverty and often homeless, while being a Mormon Church member. At twelve, he was adopted by his grandmother and quickly turned to drugs and alcohol to survive the continuing abuse. Michael discusses how he found success in Corporate America in his early twenties. However, success only made things worse. Michael was morbidly obese, high and drunk daily, and ultimately self-sabotaging everything around him. We discover how he found self-love, and he altered the course of his life. Michael provides advice on how you too can take daily action to improve your life.

Strengthening Your Relationship With Your Best Self - John R. Miles EP 110 Feb 25, 2022

Over the years, I have come to a much deeper connection with myself. It is the most important relationship I can have—the one true constant in my life. I have learned that everything that happens in my life for good or bad is based on my reflection with myself and becoming my greatest self.

In this episode, I tell a parable to illustrate why your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything. I then use this example to discuss how to discover your best self, grow into the best version of yourself, and strengthen your relationship with your best self.

All that we do in life is a testimony to our inner self and our relationship with ourselves. The people you impact or don't, the job you love or don't, those in your life you love or don't, the acts of service you do or don't, are all created by the relationship we have with ourselves.

The tools from today's episode ought to be helpful for anyone looking to become their best self.

Katie Chonacas On: Being a Rebel With a Cause EP 109 Feb 22, 2022

In this episode, I interview Katie Chonacas, a Greek international actress, filmmaker, voice actor, author, host of the She's All Over the Place podcast, and musician. We discuss her life being a rebel with a cause. You will find during our discussion that Katie has an ethos that surrounds her.

Katie talks about becoming an international actor who went from passion to profession and how that experience launched into being a voiceover artist. Why does she feel so strongly about mental health and staying true to her morals and values? She outlines her tangible steps to achieve any goal you want to accomplish in life and discusses why she wants to be a leader and role model for future generations. We discuss her new podcast season and why she is doubling down on NFTs.

The Science of Healthy Habits - How to Make Habits Stick EP 108 Feb 18, 2022

In this episode, I tell the story of Kieran Behan and, through his account, review the science of creating healthy habits, unhealthy habit elimination, and how the process of neuroplasticity (brain rewiring) facilitates habit formation.

I describe the role of the prefrontal cortex, which is grounded in the neuroscience of brain states and our ability to insert conscious effort, intention, and thought into the process. I also discuss neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, and the neural networks' ability to change through growth and reorganization.

I then dive into how you create healthy habits and what makes habits stick using gymnastics and Kieran's story to help illustrate the points. I offer seven suggestions based on science that should help anyone create better habits and eliminate bad habits for fitness, relationships, school, career, and more--indeed, becoming empowered in the task of creating meaningful, prosperous, and productive habits. Once the habit formation cycle is formed, you can confidently creep closer and closer to your goals.

Jen Bricker-Bauer On: Everything is Possible EP 107 Feb 15, 2022

Jen Bricker-Bauer is an aerialist, motivational speaker, and New York Times, bestselling author. Born without legs, Jen's biological parents left her at the hospital, destined for a life of hardship. However, the hand of God brought her an amazing adoptive family, who taught her that everything is possible.

As a child, Jen was obsessed with gymnastics, and her idol was gold medalist Dominique Moceanu. In fact, watching Dominique on TV, helped inspire Jen to start competing herself. Seemingly against all odds, Jen competed against able-bodied athletes and became a State Champion in power tumbling. As part of her fantastic story and a twist of fate, Jen later learned that her childhood gymnastics idol, Dominique Moceanu, was actually her biological sister.

John R. Miles sits down with Jen Bricker-Bauer to talk about why she never says the word "can't" and how she has come to believe that everything is possible if you set your mind to it. You learn that you can achieve everything you've dreamed of when you unlock your purpose and create an intentional life. Jen discusses why she is doing everything she can to spread inspiration and joy throughout the world and is following her calling to teach others they can do anything they put their minds to achieving.

How You Use Joy As Your Compass EP 106 Feb 11, 2022

I am currently reading The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, and one of my favorite quotes from him is, "find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain."

Joy is such a powerful compass.

It is a gift that actually helps us navigate the complex demands that vie for our attention. It invites us to slow down, discover what is most important to us and those around us and helps us decide in ways our ego, pride, fear, or sense of scarcity could never do.

And, I think there is so much truth in that quote. When you use joy as your compass, it may not always guide you to the most comfortable, popular, or painless decisions. The power of Joy is more profound than that. Through joy, you can transcend to places where life can happen intentionally, and you can become the best version of yourself.

"But you will never know the impact of just deciding to act and using your heart to say, 'what would really help them right now' that I don't even need to ask to do." - Kate Schutt

Kate Schutt is an award-winning songwriter, singer, guitarist, and producer. She is also a life coach. In 2018, Schutt gave a TEDx talk, "A Grief Casserole." Kate Schutt is the rarest of combinations… brilliance and humility, wisdom and curiosity, creativity and intellect. Each on its own is a gift; in combination, extraordinary.

“Kate’s newest album Bright Nowhere is the ultimate reveal with storytelling so emotionally raw and honest, yet, truly inspirational in its humanity and musicality.” -Kevin Killen, eight-time Grammy-winning producer.

Our conversation ranged far and wide, covering everything from the background on why NPR calls her voice “glassily clear and glossily sweet,” the secrets to true fulfillment in life, to the best gift you can possibly give someone.

Where You Invest Your Love You Invest Your Life EP 104 Feb 04, 2022

"In these bodies, we will live. In these bodies, we will die. And where you invest your love, you invest your life." - Mumford & Sons. This is one of the most potent lyrics the band has ever written, inspiring this podcast episode.

I believe this quote is about self-love and finding out about yourself and who you are. When we learn to love ourselves, we also express love to others more powerfully and intentionally. You can alter the way you see things, and it is your self-love that helps you become the best version of yourself.

In this episode, I take this lyric and define what self-love is and why it is essential. I explore the differences between healthy and unhealthy self-love and provide several examples of self-love that you can recognize in your own life. I use the stories of Asiya and Melissa to illustrate how they overcame their situations to find self-love and the change that it brought about. I then go into three ways to learn self-love and why it can be challenging. Lastly, I unpack five habits you can implement to encourage self-love and my final thoughts.

Thank you for listening to this Passion Struck Podcast episode on how to self-love yourself. I hope you keep up with the weekly videos I post on the YouTube channel, subscribe to, and share your learnings with those who need to hear them. Your comments are my oxygen, so please take a second and say 'Hey' ;).

Oluneye Oluwole On: Why You Should Reach For Your Dreams EP 103 Feb 01, 2022

Imagine realizing you were in a relationship devaluing you and your gifts?
You spiraled down to the lowest depths of your life.
You had to take a brutal look at yourself and those things you allowed to happen because you lived life to please others, but not satisfy YOURSELF.
And then recovering and rediscovering who YOU are as a result? You started to look at your life as saying yes to opportunities. And taking that step means doors opening, and those doors leading you to a higher calling of whom you are meant to be and how you're meant to impact your world.
👇 THIS is the Oluneye Oluwole Story.

In this episode, John R. Miles is joined by Oluneye Oluwole, a serial entrepreneur, multi-sector entrepreneurship incubator, relationship builder, and administrator with a passion for economic empowerment, leadership, and sustainable development.

How Your Environment Influences Who You Become EP 102 Jan 28, 2022

Our environment continually influences our lives, our decision-making process, and how we interact with the world around us. In psychology, there is a concept known as 'the social multiplier effect' based on the principle that high levels of one attribute or behavior amongst one's peers can have spillover effects on an individual.

In today's episode, John discusses this social multiplier effect and how your environment influences who you become.

Why Materialism Is Impacting Your Success and Happiness EP 96 Jan 07, 2022

It is so easy to fall into the trap of materialism. The attraction is all around us. But it is now believed that by minimizing attachment to material possessions, you naturally allow more room for happiness and abundance to flow into your life, instead of greed, apathy, and ego.

John explains how he fell into the materialism trap and why it eventually led to depression, anxiety, apathy, and a failure to live intentionally. He goes into the psychology of materialism and how social media and the people we surround ourselves with influence our beliefs and behaviors. He discusses in this video why you need to focus on the intangibles in life if you want to have success, happiness, and good health.

Andrew Marr is a retired Green Beret, co-founder of the Warrior Angels Foundation, and author of "Tales from the Blast Factory." He is also featured in the new documentary "Quiet Explosions."

From personal experience, the two both talk about the long-term effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and how it impacted both of their lives.
Why navigating the VA is so difficult and their advice for doing so.
How Andrew Marr met Dr. Mark Gordon, a neuroendocrinologist, and how they were able to tell their story on the Joe Rogan podcast.
How Dr. Gordon uses a personalized approach focused on functional medicine and hormone treatment for TBI recovery
How the Warrior Angels Foundation is now helping hundreds of veterans and active duty service members recover from Traumatic Brain Injury.

Who Is Blackall Racing?

John discovered the Blackall Racing Team's story and need for purpose-driven brands who would like to sponsor their team after reading an inspirational article in the VFW magazine. Their story, and purpose, are unlike any other in the paddock. The Blackall tandem served in the military, with Tony in the Navy and Janet in the Marines. Based on their strong military background, first-hand knowledge of the struggles in readjusting to life after the military, and Tony’s love for motorcycles, Blackall Racing was launched to promote patriotism and becoming a voice for veterans.

In their discussion with John, Janet, and Tony Blackall discuss the struggles they overcame to launch a privateer racing team, the highlights from their team's first three seasons, Tony's favorite racing tracks, the origin of their motorcycle that honored the victims of 9/11, their advice for veterans who are suffering from PTSD, the types of sponsors they are looking for, and advice to any entrepreneur who is on the patch to go after their dreams.

Dara Kurtz How to Create a Crazy Perfect Life EP 50 Aug 03, 2021

What would your perfect life look like? Everyone has trials and tribulations in life. How you react to those challenges determines how “perfect” you think your life is. The key to getting what you want out of this life is living with intention.

Thank you for Watching the Passion Struck podcast. In this powerful interview, John R. Miles and his guest Dara Kurtz discuss creating a crazy perfect life.

Creating a Crazy Perfect Life

John R. Miles and Dara Kurtz discuss the tremendous change in her life brought on by a breast cancer diagnosis. Dara makes it clear that getting a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. She believes that it is your attitude that will dictate so much of how you navigate through it.

She views time as our most precious resource and discusses how she has altered her time management and the incredible results it brought in helping her create a crazy perfect life.

We discuss how her definition of living a successful life was altered and how she started focusing on spending her days doing activities that feed her soul. Why it's vital to stay the course and not tip over the apple cart. But many people fail to do that and don't change.

Why the way you choose to wake up and be positive about your outlook is up to you to create. How the Failure to make choices is a choice. You're living this life and your image and all of the things that go along with that. And it's not easy to wake up one day and say, you know, hey, this isn't actually what I want to be doing. And not everyone's going to like that. And not everyone's going to like the new version of you. Or maybe you make a change. It will trigger things for other people that they don't want to think about for themselves. So it's safer to stay the course. It really just all came down to redefining success for myself.

Why Your Ego is Holding You Back w/ John R. Miles EP 49 Jul 30, 2021

There is such a fine line between confidence and ego. You can have faith in your abilities and be a forceful leader without an ego. In this podcast, John R. Miles discusses what the ego is, how to know if your ego is running your life, why your ego is holding you back, and 5 ways to recognize if you have an ego problem.

Is Our Ego Getting in Our Way?

We cross the lines into ego when we can't (or won't try to) understand perceptions. Understanding another person's perception is different than agreeing. We may disagree, but if we can't understand where another person is coming from we can at least have a dialog. When our knee-jerk reaction is to dismiss without seeking to learn, it is ego getting in the way.

Saskia Lightstar On How To Create Our Best Self EP 48 Jul 27, 2021

Saskia Lightstar thought she was living it big when she enjoyed the party girl lifestyle in South Africa. It turns out it was her low point, as she dealt with eating disorders and self-image issues. Then her biggest test came when she learned she had cancer. It was at that point after beating breast cancer she learned the true meaning of how to create our best self. It starts with self-love and kindness.

In this powerful Passion Struck podcast interview, John R. Miles and Saskia Lightstar discuss creating our best selves. For Saskia, it started by her understanding her self-narrative and that it needed to change. Why she considers herself a cancer misfit, and how that has completely changed her outlook on life.

Creating Our Best Self

In 2013, following her treatment for breast cancer, Saskia found that she was struggling to adapt to her new life. For her, the emotions that were put aside during her breast cancer treatment returned, and she felt stuck in a no man's land, overwhelmed with remorse, fear, and sadness. Saskia Lightstar felt like a cancer misfit, healed physically but still struggling mentally and emotionally with the trauma she'd endured.

Saskia fell into a deep, deep depression. After cancer, she would try to look up the topic of life after treatment or support after cancer treatment, and she couldn't find anything. There's so much information when you're diagnosed, and you're going through it, and then suddenly, just because you're finished the treatment, it's like you're done.

It was a good two or three years that she was quite a lost soul. And it was that rock bottom. For Saskia, that made her think, "Okay, you know what, I need to find a way out of this."

And that's where her journey really began.

Her book, The Cancer Misfit, is to catch survivors and take them to that bit when you don't know what's next, how you're feeling, or who you are anymore. That's why She is dedicating her life to helping other cancer survivors, so they don't go through the same misery as she did.

Why You Need To Stop Playing Small w/ John R. Miles EP 47 Jul 23, 2021

In this powerful Passion Struck podcast episode, John R. Miles breaks down why we need to stop playing small and instead play big. He goes through what it means to play small vs playing big and 7 skills you can use to play big and live a no regrets life.

Why So Many Are Playing Small in Their Life

Did you know that Two-thirds of Brits and over seventy percent of Americans feel they are living an unfulfilled life, according to new research? When we are not living to our full capability, it is the very definition of playing small in our life. That is why it is so vital that we start playing big and living a no regrets life.

Despite an overwhelming majority of people saying they have a bucket list, most of us have only ticked off between one and five items on it. That is because we fall into the trap of security, comfort, and fear. Those things holding us back from living the passion-driven life we are meant to live.

In this episode, you will understand why it is so detrimental to play small and the criteria for doing so. Also, what it means to play big and how that can have a profound impact on your happiness.

Mastering the Art of Tact w/ John R. Miles EP 45 Jul 16, 2021

We all have to communicate painful or sensitive information at some point in our careers. And, while it's important, to tell the truth, we need to think about how we do it. Tact allows us to be honest while respecting a person's feelings.

Please subscribe, and join me on my new platform for personal development: https://passionstruck.com/.

When we communicate tactfully, we can preserve relationships, build credibility, and demonstrate thoughtfulness.

In today’s episode of the Passion Struck, John R. Miles examines what tact is, and looks at how you can develop this important quality.

John discusses how tact and diplomacy are skills centered around an understanding of other people and being sensitive to their opinions, beliefs, ideas, and feelings.

Developing effective tact and diplomacy skills requires practice and good judgment. These skills are not limited to use informal communications, such as in the workplace: tact and diplomacy are also important when developing and maintaining friendships, romantic relationships, and relationships in the family.

What is a Bucket List?

A bucket list, also called a life list, is a group of activities that you want to experience or accomplish before you die. We all have some idea about the things we want to do in life, but compiling them into a concrete list can make them a reality.

Your bucket list should contain items that are deeply meaningful to you. Don’t include items simply because you feel you should or because others would find them impressive. What are your dreams? What brings you fulfillment?

How to Resolve Conflict in 5 Steps w/ John R. Miles EP 43 Jul 09, 2021

Just like “death and taxes,” conflict is inevitable! Why? Because no two individuals have the same needs and concerns. That is why it is essential to understand how to resolve conflict in 5 steps.

Like this? Please subscribe, and join me on my new platform for personal development: https://passionstruck.com/.

In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses unhealthy vs. healthy conflict resolution and understanding the different conflict management styles.

Conflict, or more specifically, interpersonal conflict, is a fact of life and organizational life. It often emerges when people are stressed, for example, when there are changes on the horizon or when everyone is under pressure because of a looming deadline. However, conflict can also arise in relationships and situations outside work.

How to Resolve Conflict in a Healthy Way

But there is a difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict. Without conflict, we don’t have robust relationships, create a future vision, and don’t move the needle. But unhealthy conflict ends up eating away at trust and shared values. That is why diplomacy is so important to bringing about healthy conflict management.

According to the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), used by human resource (HR) professionals worldwide, there are five major styles to resolve conflict—collaborating, competing, avoiding, accommodating, and compromising. Knowing when and how to use each style can help resolve conflict and improve the working environment or interpersonal relationships.

Sydney Wong's Journey to Creating VenturX

In this powerful Passion Struck Podcast Episode, John R. Miles and Sydney Wong discuss her journey from McGill University to becoming a financial analyst to now leading a startup accelerator in Montreal, CA. We go into why balance, your self-narrative, and routine is so vital in becoming a lean startup.

Sydney met startups at Montreal events that needed help with funding and grants; she offered to write business plans. In 2016, she launched a gamified business plan writing application.

Most people didn't complete "Product Validation" Level 3 (out of 8 levels) during the beta. That was the biggest failure for startups, so she grouped and built out this application. She broadened the research to understand the success metrics that investors, government grantors, and banks are looking for when funding startups.

The VenturX metrics were reverse-engineered to provide quality startups the best chances for funding and success. The rest is history!!!

Abigail Barnes On: Turn Your Time Into Productivity EP 38 Jun 22, 2021

Do you know how to turn your time into productivity? This search for a more productive life has led to a particular miscategorization about what time management is and how it relates to productivity-- the simple truth is that it is far more than simply having a to-do list and checking this off of it.

The most productive people do not concentrate on doing more things. This is actually the opposite of being productive. If you really want to be effective, you've got to make a point of doing the right things with your time. This starts by realizing It's Your Time.

Turn Your Time Into Productivity

Thank you for listening to the Passion Struck podcast. In this powerful interview, John R. Miles and Abigail Barnes discuss Time Management and how to use this vital resource to increase your productivity in your career and your life.

It begs the question, why are we all so obsessed with productivity? It's probably because staying on task and avoiding distraction is more challenging to accomplish than your actual work in this digital age. Not to mention the feeling of having a productive day is somewhat euphoric.

Charles P. Smith On Why We Need To Stop Veteran Suicide Rates EP 37 Jun 18, 2021

According to the 2020 National Veterans Suicide Prevention Annual report, suicide rates continue to increase in the U.S. adult population. There is also a growing correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide risk.

In this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, John R. Miles interviews Charles P. Smith on the growing suicide rate among veterans, active-duty military members, and the general population. Charles served 10 years as a Marine Corps officer. Through his TedX, viewed by over 2 million, and this podcast, he is trying to bring a voice to the voiceless.

We discuss how mental illness is the same if not more important as physical health, yet it is viewed completely differently. If someone's mental health isn't there, we need to talk about it. This is a subject that we need to focus on in this growing dilemma that seems to be ignored by the highest levels of the military.

Charles provides shocking information that since September 11th, there have been over 115,000 veterans who have taken their lives through suicide. This number was fact check by the TedX team. The reality is that if you include active duty members, it is over 138,000 - a 20:1 ratio of suicides in the military community compared to those who lost their lives in combat.

We also discuss these statistics on why we need to focus more on suicide rates at the highest levels of the military and government. And the growing link between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates.

Statistics on suicide rates

It is a staggering statistic that 46,510 American adults died by suicide in 2018, compared with 31,610 in 2005. The average rose from 86.6 per day in 2005 to 124.4 in 2017 and 127.4 in 2018. That is a 47.1% increase, and the rate of suicides in veterans is 1.5x that of the general population.

Across the nation, the number of suicide deaths has been rising since the turn of the millennium. Overall, from 2005 to 2018, the age- and sex-adjusted suicide rates among Veterans were higher and rose faster than those among non-Veteran U.S. adults.

Reports:

https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/docs/data-sheets/2020/2020-National-Veteran-Suicide-Prevention-Annual-Report-11-2020-508.pdf

Post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates

The National Center for PTSD 2017 report found an association between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide. And, the association between PTSD and suicide is particularly relevant to military members and Veterans. Among US Army service members from 2001–2009, those who died by suicide were almost 13x more likely to have received a diagnosis of PTSD than all Army service members in the same time period.

One study examined all suicide deaths from 1994–2006 using the Danish national healthcare and social registries and found that persons with PTSD had 5.3x the death rate from suicide than persons without PTSD.

A subsequent study examined death from suicide among all persons diagnosed with PTSD in Denmark from 1995–2011 and found that after adjustment for demographics and pre-existing comorbid psychiatric diagnoses, persons with PTSD had 13x the rate of suicide than persons without PTSD.

Quotes From Charles P. Smith

"These people who take that step to take their life, they are in pain we can't understand."

"When they take their life, they think that they are becoming less of a burden on others when the reality is it actually hurts the people that they love."
"This is a way to give a voice to the now voiceless."
"And when you look at the statistics, in particular, in the veteran community, the suicide rate is one and a half times that in the general population."

Charles is a servant leader and passionate veteran’s advocate. He recently had the honor of becoming a TED Talk speaker on the topic of veteran suicide. He felt compelled to raise awareness of this serious and important issue following the death by suicide of his own executive officer in May 2019.

Quotes From John R. Miles

“Everyone is waiting for you to win, even those who don’t know you, but it all starts with you wanting yourself to win.”

"If you are not fulfilled in what you are doing, there is no way that you are living to your full capability."

"When you think about that story, and where you are in your life, and you're performing it day in and day out. Are you happy about where you are? Do you feel fulfilled? Are you living at your full capability? Are you living the life that you want to live?"

"But I can tell you; I'm doing this today because I made a choice in my own life that I wasn't going to let the disabilities that impact me define who I am and the path I want to take in my own life."

Letting Go of a Toxic Friend Or A Relationship You Have Outgrown w/ John R. Miles EP 33 Jun 04, 2021

Have you ever wondered when it is time to let relationships or friendships go? In doing so, you will learn why you take your power back by letting toxic people go. Learn the keys to letting go of a toxic friend or a relationship you have outgrown.

Thank you for listening to the Passion Struck podcast. In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses why you take your power back by letting toxic people go. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

It might sound harsh, but you do not have to hold onto a friendship that you have outgrown or has become a toxic relationship. Humans are social by nature and we need friendship and support as we venture through life. While it is normal to want to form long-term friendships, the reality is that you are under no obligation to remain friends with someone who is toxic, holds you back from personal growth, or that simply does not have common interests with you any longer.

Quotes From John R. Miles

"It might sound harsh, but you do not have to hold onto a friendship that you have outgrown."

"There is no winning in a toxic relationship."

"Just because your relationship or friendship was one time successful, It does not mean that you have to stay in that relationship forever."

"Humans by nature are social. And we want people in our lives, we want friendships, and we need that support as we venture through our own individual lives."

"I have found it can actually be extremely beneficial to have friends in different categories. Because that way you know who to go to in different situations."

New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

In today's discussion, Ron Lutz and I will discuss some of the mutual experiences we had working together at Lowe's Home Improvement. Primarily, a joint project we worked on was the first in the company's history of applying the agile methodology to our software development projects. We discuss the keys that made this project such a success and why agile software development takes involvement not only from the software team but, even more importantly, the business team it is supporting.

Ron talks about how this initiative saved the company over $400 Million and the keys that made the project such a success.

We explore the importance of serving others versus serving ourselves and why becoming a servant leader is so important as we approach this all-digital future that we're entering into.

Ron shares words of advice on how you be a servant leader both in your career and personal life and so much more.

Quotes From Ron Lutz

"And your notion, that agile solution made perfect sense to me at the time, in terms of our dynamic need relative to the business, we were trying to stand up, it worked flawlessly."

"For every week that we could take out of the build cycle, that was half a million dollars of incremental sales per week."

"I turned around one day, and I said, Wait a minute, am I truly fulfilled? Am I actually giving all the value back to Lowe's that I feel like Lowe's deserves? Frankly, am I staying true to who I am?" "We need to know ourselves very well."

"Every voice along with the continuum matters. Everyone's activity is a value add an activity; everyone should have the ability to be able to say if we did this, it would have this cause and effect."

So many today are living short of their potential. I believe it is because of restrictions we place on ourselves, and that is why you need to stop applying a governor to your life.

Are you living to your true capability, your purpose in life, your future potential? According to a number of recent studies from Gallup, Gartner, and Bill and Melinda Gates - The majority of us are not. I believe that is because of our self-governor. And you know what that governor is?

It is our MINDS!!!

And when it starts facing fear or adversity, it shuts down.

You can think of our governor as our survival mechanism is our safety blanket as that crutch. When things start to get very painful, your mind ends up taking control and then tells you and your body that you need to be doing something else, anything other than putting yourself into that uncomfortable place.

In this episode, you will learn why as few as 15% of all people globally live their lives to their full abilities.

You will learn the three ways to recognize your self-governors and then how to stop applying a governor to your capabilities and unlocking a passion-driven life.

Enjoy!

What You Will Learn In This Episode

Studies That Illustrate We Are Not Living Our Capability
What is a Governor and How is it Used
How We Apply a Governor to Our Life
John's Own Story of Applying a Governor
What is Keeping You From Living the Life You want
The Three Governors We Apply to Our life
Making the Choice to Accept Yourself
How to Get Out of Your Own Way

Quotes from John R. Miles

"It (2019 Gallup Survey) found that only 15% of all those employees, 1 billion of them are actually engaged at work. You look at that another way. That means that an astronomical 85% of the planet's full-time workers are dissatisfied with their jobs."

"We are living our capability, our purpose in life, our future potential with a governor that we apply to ourselves. And you know what that Governor is? It is our MINDS. And when it starts facing fear or adversity, it shuts down."

"When you can start taking control of your mind, you can start removing the governor from your life."

"I used to think that I would really motivate myself and really live up to my full potential by telling myself day in and day out that I really wasn't."

"If you want to live your life to its fullest capability truly and to start to accomplish what you're set out to do, it might be time to take that brutally honest look at your current reality."

"Your mind knows exactly who you are; it knows your innermost fears, it knows what you're most insecure about. And it does an amazing job of taking you away from any of those things, to a place of safety."

"I'm being the best that I can be right here. Right now. I taking off that Governor and allowing myself to put away all the lies and accept myself for who I am."

Applying the Ivy Lee Method to Life w/ John R. Miles EP 29 May 21, 2021

In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses implementing the daily routine recommended for peak performance through the Ivy Lee Method. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

In the early 1900s, the Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk of that time was a gentleman named Charles M Schwab. And if you're not familiar with him, he was an American steel magnate as the CEO of Bethlehem Steel.

Charles Schwab was looking for ways to improve the efficiency and productivity of the company and turned to his friend Oil Tycoon John D. Rockefeller, who suggested to Schwab that he should consult with Ivy Lee, a prominent Public Relations expert at the time. And, he was lucky he did. Following Lee's involvement, Bethlehem Steel became the largest shipbuilder globally and the second-largest steel manufacturer.

Later in life, Schwab credited the Ivy Lee Method for his Bethlehem's success, which resulted in Schwab amassing a $200 Million fortune, equivalent in purchasing power to about $6.35 billion today.

Learn how you can apply these same secrets to increase your own productivity and time management.

"I find the Ivy League method is one of the most important things I use, and it's something that I teach each of my coaching clients because it's the perfect system to get you moving daily."

"If you take just one thing away from this critical message, it should be this do the most important thing first every day."

"And you may be asking yourself, why does this work? It sounds so simple. And that's precisely what it is. It is simple in a word. It's minimalism."

"The truth is that simplicity works. It works in business, and it works in life. "

Quotes From VADM William "Ted" Carter, President of the University of Nebraska System

"Plebe summer was transformative for me, mainly because it was that time when you realize you can't really do anything on your own. It's all being part of a team. But also, you had to deliver yourself."

"It (Winter Classic) was a spectacle. It was no kidding a Super Bowl-level event. The capitals ended up winning the game. The gold medal curlers pushed the puck out to center ice on a stone; it landed right in the middle of center ice, and then I got to take the puck off the stone and drop the puck."

"I looked at the honor concept as it was written when I took over as superintendent, and I realized that it was a need of something, maybe to be more modernized so it would resonate with the Midshipman of today."

"We are such a centerpiece of the entire state of Nebraska. I mean, I talked about, you know, being in the public eye when I was a superintendent, the Naval Academy, this is to that level, and maybe even a little bit more. I mean, Nebraska is an agricultural state. 90% of the entire landmass is farmland or ranches. So that is the number one economic driver of the entire state, but a close second is the University."

"We very well could get to a point where we're launching airplanes off of an aircraft carrier, somewhere in the Indian Ocean, or the South Pacific and tankers, and many of the missions that had historically had pilots and naval flight officers in it may not be there."

"You got to be ready for your moment. And don't shy from it; take it."

"One of the things I've learned is that no matter who you come in contact with, you got to treat everybody fairly with dignity and respect and never underestimate anybody."

Why Wasting Your Time Is The Problem

Quotes From John R. Miles

"A lack of time is not the problem wasting time and filling your life with unimportant things is the problem."

"Figure out what is most important to you, not what others think not what others are doing, not what others are telling you."

"You have control over your life, your choices, how you allocate your time, and what you give it to."

" I think the underlying assumption when it comes to Time management is that for every activity you engage in, you are by default, giving up the ability to engage in every other possible activity. And, that is where so many get stuck."

"In essence, I think rather than a time allocation problem, what most people face is a prioritization problem."

New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

In our discussion, Chris gives a unique perspective on how a single pivotal event changed his life and made him who he is today.

We discuss why sometimes an extra year of maturity when we are young can be the make or break to helping us achieve our goals, whether it is SEAL BUDs training, combat, spacewalks, or being a leader, why the thing you are doing in your life right now is so important.

In BUDs training, he learned that he could either positively influence others or take energy away from them by his attitude, energy, and motivation.

Training is vital to success, whether in the military, an astronaut, or a leader in an organization—his leadership lessons from winning two Bronze Stars (with Valor) during his time in combat.

The significance of SpaceX to the space program and where Chris sees the future heading.

And so much more......

Quotes From Astronaut Chris Cassidy

"The lesson I learned that was really hammered home at the Academy is how much energy you can give each other when you're in it together."

"Figuring out that your time horizon of the future is like an elastic band, right? Like the more available bandwidth you have, you can have that rubber band stretched out further and further, and you can look deeper ahead of you."

“Being able to be the person who gives support and gives energy, at the same time where you can take it from others, is something that I learned in SEAL training.”

Are You Living a Pinball Life w/ John Miles EP 25 May 07, 2021

You may not think about it, but are you living a pinball life? Like a ball that drifts aimlessly without intentionality and with constant distraction.

In this powerful Momentum Friday episode, John explains how so many of us do. we continuously react to what others are throwing our way, instead of being intentional with our passion.

John gives a historical example of a famous American who was leading the pinball life and how he went on to not only discover but live his passion.

John breaks down the pinball life concept and provides actionable advice on how to avoid living one.

Enjoy!!!

What You Will Learn On The Show

What makes successful entrepreneurs according to Jim McKelvey
Story of a young man who goes from poverty to national hero
John introduces the pinball life concept
How to avoid living life without intentionality
Saying yes to the most critical mission in life

Quotes from John R. Miles

"You see, a vision is like a porous bucket. And that's why we need to repeat it continuously until it's known by heart and becomes part of our personal character or organizational culture. That is why it is so critical that you get away from living this pinball life and that you start creating a vision for the future that you would like to attain."

"Prepare and your chance will come to take your vision for the future and make it a reality. When you say no to 100 other missions, you say yes to the most crucial one there is. And that is exactly the reason I created Passion Struck. To become the catalyst that helps you who are struggling to understand how do you take this idea and take it to action. We can help you with that. We can become that catalyst that helps you take action on your ideas."

"Why would you want to live your life like a pinball machine without intentionality and with constant distraction?"

"Because by leading a pinball life, we're not creating new innovation. And we're not really practicing vital leadership either. We are living a life that is necessary, but not strategic, valuable, but not value-added. Its indifference or apathy at its pinnacle."

His work with the CIA and Admiral John Poindexter
His unique data approach to analyzing the origins of COVID-19
Applying complexity theory to leadership development
His new publication on managing complexity in times of crisis

Wisdom of Crowds Approach
Applying Cynefin to our personal lives
Why the next generation needs to be engaged with the planet

Quotes From Dave Snowden

"The role of the leader is coordination, not decision making. And people keep getting that wrong. A good leader never makes a decision, they coordinate people."

"These days nobody should be allowed into any engineering software role without training in ethics because the implications of what we're doing in technology are really scary. And I think the trouble with Facebook, I think less Apple with the Apple vs Facebook confrontation is really interesting. Facebook, has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."

"Knowledge management is interesting, that moment is coming back into play. It is like knowledge management goes through this cycle of being fashionable."

"So this cult of the individual leader, I think is actually deeply worrying because what you get is either a rigid process or this inspirational leader. And that's actually really bad science because most of the time leadership can be distributed."

"Facebook has never been immoral, they're amoral. And that's actually far scarier because they're not concerned about the implications of what they're doing."

5 Ways You Can Apply the Law of Attraction w/ John R. Miles EP 23 Apr 30, 2021

In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses 5 ways you can apply the law of attraction to create success in your life. New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message!

Did you know that all molecules, whether they are living or not, vibrate at a specific frequency?

Sound, light, physical objects, plants, animals, colors, thoughts, and emotions can carry, transmit, and absorb vibrational energy.

This energy can be harnessed and used to benefit your life through the Law of Attraction. Your emotions, thoughts, and feelings also have vibrational energy.

When you experience something positive, your physical body vibrates and radiates vibrational energy at a higher level.

As we see in quantum physics, like attracts like, so when you vibrate at a higher frequency, you are opening yourself up to attracting more high-vibrational positivity into your life.

Learn how you too can apply the law of attraction to fast-track your journey to becoming passion-struck.

Enjoy!!

Quotes from the show about how you can apply the law of attraction

"If you are experiencing negativity in your life and constant thoughts of negativity, then what the universe is going to give you is more negativity."

"When you can master the law of attraction. You can utilize your memories, your thoughts, your actions, your mindset to take on those things in your life that you would like to achieve."

"The law of attraction says that you will attract those things in your life that match your values and your emotional state."

"When your mind is on fixed mindset, negative outcomes, doom, and gloom, what do you think you're going to get in your life? -- more and more of the same."

Katie discusses her path to the Blue Angels, including her two combat tours. And how that time in combat accelerated her path to being eligible for auditioning for the team. She provides advice for other females following in her footsteps, advice on making choices, the importance of mentors, and the important life lessons of overcoming adversity she learned along the way.

What You Will Learn In this Show from the first female Blue Angels pilot?

Quotes

"Glad to Be Here."

"I was a 17-year-old kid making a 20 to a 25-year decision."

"But I can tell you, I felt adversity, like right from the beginning. As soon as I selected Marine Corps, there were classmates of mine at the Academy telling me like there's no way that I was going to do it."

"Those fears that are the hardest are the ones that come out of nowhere."

"Viewing things as a potential to learn is a mindset that you can change and is really critical, I think to overcome hardship or fear or obstacles."

"I would say; obviously, the stakes are a little bit higher in combat because there's obviously someone who doesn't want you to be there."

"I was relatively Junior. I had pinned on Captain maybe two years prior, while most people who went to the blues were very senior captains, if not majors already by the time that they went."

"We debrief about two hours after every air show. And really, in this debrief, you're calling yourself out on everything that you did wrong. And that's really key here is you're calling yourself out."

"That decision to get out of the Marine Corps was the scariest one that I had done."

Applying the Power of Choice — Why Our Choices Matter w/ John R. Miles EP 19 Apr 16, 2021

Today’s show is a very personal one about applying the power of choice in your life.

Choices occur in our life every day, both unknowingly and knowingly. These can range from simple decisions like purchasing groceries or gas to the heavier ones about friends, influences, and beliefs. One thing is true for everyone: we all have the power of choice. It’s a critical part of our self-development and every one of the choices we make shape our experiences and brings you to where you are in your life.

John uses his own personal journey to highlight the importance of choices and how they can influence your passion journey.

Can you expect to achieve your biggest goals and live the life of your dreams without making intentional choices?

Back in the day, when John transitioned from military life to civilian life, he went on to make massive strides in corporate America. And before he was 40, he was the Chief Information Officer of a Fortune 50 company.

But all his material success did not bring him fulfillment because he was not truly passionate about his chosen profession.

Whether it is not your professional life or your personal life, job, or relationship, listening to today’s show will inspire you to face your insecurities and take the harder right.

Learn how John chucked his seven-figure job to follow his passion for creating the Passion Struck brand.

Enjoy!

Quotes

“Making a choice might be the most difficult thing to do. But without work, nothing happens.” “You are, so passion struck by what you are doing that you are willing to risk it all to go after it."

“Until you start taking the step, embracing the sharp edge, and doing something every day that scares you, nothing is going to change."

What It Means To be a New Age Digital Leader w/ Sid Tobias EP 18 Apr 13, 2021

On today’s show, we interview Director, Digital Standards Office, Technology and Business Transformation, Advanced Education and Skills Training, Sid Tobias who shares with us his distilled wisdom on agile workflow and digital leadership.

He mentors new digital teams with the BCDevExchange and teaches digital leadership to executives. Before this, Sid has served for 25 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.

We start this show with Sid sharing a life-changing incident that sparked his interest in agile methodology.

In 2002, when Sid was stationed aboard a Canadian destroyer in the Persian Gulf near Afghanistan, Canadians' training exercise was wrongly deciphered as a threat by an American F-16 bomber.

The F-16 pilot decided to retaliate, and many innocent lives were lost in the aftermath.

The Canadian and American leaders were quick to take responsibility and collaborated closely to ensure there was no repeat of such unfortunate incidents.

This incident was also the pivot point that made Sid go agile.

“How can leaders develop and introduce work procedures that create bigger and more frequent success opportunities across the board?” wondered Sid.

You will learn the importance of being a true “Servant Leader” or Leader Gardener” who can recognize the weakest signals from team employees to result in a truly collaborative approach.

As a public safety transformational specialist, Sid emphasizes the importance of a team-driven work approach.

We also compare and contrast the waterfall approach to the agile approach. And reveal how a shift towards agile can help organizations fail cheap and pivot quickly.

You will also learn how the agile methodology allows the government to rope in private sector enterprises for top-secret projects.

Enjoy!

Question That I Ask In Today’s Show

Why did you decide to get educated in the Agile Methodology?
What are some of the major obstacles in the digital transformation drive?
From your time in the military, what is the most important leadership lesson that you learned?
What are the three words that describe being a Canadian?

What You Will Learn In This Show

An agile vs. Waterfall approach
How going agile can allow you to fail cheap and pivot quickly
Giving up the command-and-control management style and being a “Leader Gardener” to your people instead
How going agile can help ensure the success of public-private partnerships
And so much more…

In today’s show, we interview FuzziBunz founder and Shark Tank participant, Tereson Dupuy shares with her distilled wisdom on entrepreneurship, persistence, and mental health. She discusses how Shark Tank changed her life.

Growing up in New Orleans, Tereson was always driven and keen to make her own mark. But, unfortunately for her, she had to deal with severe trauma issues in her childhood years.

Being an adopted child and having a serial killer as a next-door neighbor compounded her mental health issues, and Tereson ended up a full-blown alcoholic by the time she was 14.

Tereson got her big idea for FuzziBunz when she could not find good and affordable diapers for her autistic son, who was prone to skin rashes. While her sewing skills came in handy, Tereson went ahead with her business even though she had no prior experience with production or branding.

FuzziBunz was a huge hit as the product filled a market gap while addressing some big pain points. Even though Tereson tasted commercial success, she found it difficult to draw boundaries and fend off those eager to take advantage of her.

She talks about how other companies blatantly copied her product design. And, how after 12 years of running her business successfully, she started facing heated competition from her Chinese counterparts.

“Tereson, the problem is you.”

At this juncture, Tereson got an opportunity to appear on Shark Tank. The sharks were brutal in their assessment and concluded that the biggest problem with Tereson’s business was Tereson herself.

Six months after appearing on Shark Tank, Tereson exited her business completely. And then she started working on setting her life back in order.

Tereson was on the verge of launching another retail product. But then covid struck. And then, tragically, her son died from suicide.

Currently, Tereson has decided to put entrepreneurship in the backseat as she has gotten a dream opportunity to help out women in India. She is in a happy space as she savors the opportunity to work with some incredible people.

As a huge proponent of mental well-being, she talks about “exorcising” your ego and stepping into the spiritual. You will learn why you need to let go and surrender to be at peace with yourself.

Sharon Guerin On Unlocking Your Hidden Potential and Taking Control of Your Life EP 14 Mar 30, 2021

On today’s show, we interview Chef Sharon Guerin, who shares with us her life story about how she became an executive chef. And how she applied the Personal Agility methodology to unlock her hidden potential and take control of her life.

Sharon has been cooking since the age of nine, and she always harbored this secret desire to be a chef and have her own cooking show. But then life happened.

At one point in time, Sharon was a single mother, working five jobs, struggling to take care of her five kids.

In November 2017, at the age of 54, she decided to leap of faith, and she quit her job as the staffing director of a health care agency.

As fate would have it, a chance encounter with Maria Maratelli opened up a world of opportunity for Sharon. They got talking, and Sharon confided in her aspirations to start her YouTube cooking channel.

Three days hence, as promised, Maria went over to Sharon’s house to help shoot her first-ever YouTube video.

The rest, as they say, is history.

“How did things start falling in place all of a sudden for Sharon?” you may ask.

Sharon’s success is no fluke.

Rather, it is the result of taking some very intentional steps and using personal agility. You will learn how having Maria as a coach helped Sharon let go of the long-held beliefs that held her back.

Though extremely tough, you will also learn the importance of making your near and dear ones behave responsibly and with accountability. And last but not least, John and Sharon emphasize how having your own tribe, your own mentors, can help you tide over some of the most trying times.

Why Doing The Right Thing Is Hard w/John R. Miles EP 13 Mar 26, 2021

What would you do if you are at the crossroads of your life where you have the option of taking the harder right or, the easier wrong? On today’s show, John shares a deeply personal story where he chose the more difficult, harder path at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. Additionally, you will learn the Three Things that will help you to make similarly difficult decisions.

Back in military school, John found himself in the midst of a high-profile cheating scandal.

The answers for the Naval Academy electrical engineering exam were leaked. This impacted hundreds of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. John was a member of the brigade honor committee when this took place and tells his very personal story about what happened.

When the Superintendent mishandled the crisis, it launched an investigation by the Baltimore Sun and the Navy Inspector General. John was called upon by the Secretary of Navy and even had legal reps defending his innocence when the Superindent tried to make him the scapegoat.

And so, at this point, John had the option of caving in or doing what was ethically and morally correct. John decided to take the harder right, even at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career.

History is replete with examples of stellar individuals who always chose the harder right – even in the face of utmost adversity.

John gives the example of Gandhi, who spearheaded India’s freedom struggle.

This timid and seemingly “unremarkable” man fought racial injustice in South Africa before helming the Quit India Movement that forced the British out of India.

Gandhi could NOT have freed millions of people from colonialism and oppression without taking the harder path, again and again.

On today’s show, you will learn the Three Things to help you do the right thing. You will learn that -

It is NOT about your ego – rather it is about integrity and making decisions that you know in your heart are the right ones.
It is NOT a decision that you make in haste – think about the long-term repercussions and how your decision affects those around you.

Tune in for some inspiration!

What You Will Learn In This Show

How to take the harder, right
The three things to help you make the right decision
How to prepare yourself for the aftermath after making a difficult decision
And so much more…

You have a fulfilling career and now step into your next chapter. But, What is the key to finding passion in retirement. In this episode, John R. Miles interviews Giles Stewart about his career, it's biggest moments, and how he is leading his best life as he enjoys retirement.

Ever wondered how giant companies like Dell and Lowe’s face and overcome some of their biggest challenges? On today’s show, we interview Giles Stewart, a former Fortune 500 Executive who shares with us his wisdom on culture, empowerment, passion, retirement, and how future leaders can bring about positive change.

You will learn how John, Giles, and the entire IT department at Lowe’s worked in a collaborative manner to create a new state-of-the-art command center.

In this segment of the show, you will get some important lessons in execution, empowerment, and creating a long-term vision.

In 2013, Giles moved on to another iconic company, Dell. Here, Giles shares how working at Dell was a totally different experience compared to the more structured operations at Lowe’s.

While Giles was employed at Dell, the company grew at a blistering pace via the acquisitions route as it evolved from a hardware company to a software and services company. You will get a peek into the acquisition’s playbook used by large organizations and learn how they overcome their cultural differences upon assimilation.

Feeling the need to make a bigger impact, Giles left Dell to work in a smaller organization, Acelity. When Giles joined, his team was in complete shambles, and morale was at an all-time low. You will learn how Giles helped create his team’s new identity using an honest, no-bullshit, and refreshingly fresh approach.

Having retired from professional life, Giles has found his passion once again as he spends his day’s rowing and blogging.

Overcoming Pancreatic Cancer and Taking Life to New Heights w/Sindy Hooper EP 10 Mar 16, 2021

The purpose of today's show is to bring awareness to pancreatic cancer survival. In today’s show, John interviews Sindy Hooper about overcoming pancreatic cancer survivor and competing as an Ironman Triathlete. Sindy shares with us her incredible story of grit, hope, and finding success in extreme adversity.

Back in 2013, things could not have been better for Sindy. She was leading a happy existence with her physician husband at their countryside home. Sindy had just turned 50 and was in the best shape of her life.

A huge fitness enthusiast, Sindy was training for Ironman Canada when she felt a few sharp abdominal and back pains. Further investigations revealed that she had pancreatic cancer – a disease with an average life expectancy of just 6 months.

After going through Whipple surgery where “they removed her gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, bottom third of stomach and half the pancreas,” Sindy went through 18 rounds of IV chemo, 28 days of radiation, and a month of oral chemo. While she was going through her treatment, she decided to do what any rational person would.

Sindy decided to participate in Ironman Canada!

The Ironman features a 3.9 km swim,180 km bike ride, and then a 42 km marathon, to put things in perspective.

So, in August 2013, Sindy became the only pancreatic cancer survivor to finish an Ironman. In the process, she also raised thousands of dollars and gave hope to millions worldwide.

How do you retain a positive mindset even when your future looks bleak, and all odds are stacked against you?

Stop Being A Visionary Arsonist and Self-Sabotaging Your Dreams w/John R. Miles EP 9 Mar 12, 2021

In today’s momentum Friday show, John unpacks the “visionary arsonist” concept. So often in our lives, you aim to reach the stars but often you end up burning down your own dreams and preventing yourself from achieving your main goal.

John shares his many experiences from corporate America to better explain his “visionary arsonist” concept.

So, if this is something that resonates with you, and you find yourself lacking conviction and prioritization, tuning in today will particularly help you out.

Keeping Your Focus While in Conflict w/Master Chief Tuck Williams EP 8 Mar 09, 2021

In today’s Passion Struck ™ podcast episode, John interviews his long-term friend and navy veteran Master Chief Tuck Williams who shares his wisdom on keeping your focus, conflict resolution, and managing change.

Tuck joined the Navy in 1989 and recently retired after 30 years in service. Of these 30 years, Tuck spent 12 at sea. He has served in far-flung places like Spain and Japan and has been decorated with numerous service medals.

You will learn how to overcome some of the biggest challenges that are impeding your progress. Tuck shares some of the most important lessons learned in his three-decade-long service, from steering clear of distractions to swift conflict resolution.

Finding the right mentors also helped Tuck immensely along the way. When he was just 19, he was drafted to Japan. An unsure and slightly out-of-sorts, Tuck, fortunately, found a great mentor to lean on who helped him settle down.

Be it the military or corporate America; the only constant is change. And if you run away from change, you are committing hara-kiri as eventually your enemy or your competition will end up having a leg up on you.

But, how can you prevent conflict and chaos in a dynamic environment? What all can you do to show up a responsible, caring, and thoughtful leader?

Applying Personal Agility to Unlock Your Passion w/Maria Matarelli EP 6 Mar 02, 2021

Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity.

In today’s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management – which was then an unknown field with very few experts.

Maria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise.

So, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase.

This win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules.

After some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria’s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India.

Agile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out.

Enjoy!

In today’s show, we interview Digital Marketing Specialist and Instagram Expert David Dang, who shares his distilled wisdom on the secret to building a magnetic brand.

You will learn how he discovered his superpower, which has helped him evolve into one of the most sought-after Instagram experts today.

In 2006, when David moved to Canada from Vietnam, he did not speak a single English word. Over the years, he overcame this handicap by listening to audiobooks. This is what stoked his passion for personal development and business.

David was quick to realize that he was not cut out of corporate America. And while he was keen on starting his business, he had to find something that did not require a huge capital investment. And this is when he stumbled onto online business.

When David graduated with his marketing degree, he already had a flourishing eCommerce business. However, he did not monetize his Instagram for the first two years.

In this period, David shared helpful and valuable content that made him magnetic to his ideal clients.

You will learn the importance of discovering your WHY and picking your career path for the right reasons.

If you view your career as a means to an end, you will find yourself low on drive and passion sooner or later. However, if you have the right mindset and are enjoying every minute of it, you will surely find the success that you rightly deserve.

Hugh Campbell On The Key to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur EP 1 Feb 16, 2021

Ever wondered how successful business leaders constantly re-invent themselves? And, how they emerge even stronger after every crisis? Today's episode will discuss just that and the key to becoming a successful entrepreneur.

In today’s show, we have Hugh Campbell, a five-time serial entrepreneur and founder, AC4S Technologies, who shares his wisdom on growth, innovation, and integrity. You will learn how Hugh went from being a West Point graduate to successfully running a half-a-billion-dollar business.

After graduating from Military Academy at West Point, Hugh worked at a data-communications company, Intermedia Communications, for a bit. He soon found VC backing and ventured out on his own with Accelacom, Inc. – a high-speed internet company.

This business really took off, and ironically, Hugh became a victim of his own success. Eager to cash out, the VCs sold off the business in bits and pieces, and Hugh was forced to reinvent himself yet again.

Wanting great autonomy after this bittersweet experience, Hugh founded the cloud-solution company AC4S technologies. In this segment of the show, you will learn the importance of looking forward, taking calculated risks, and surrounding yourself with trusted advisors. Particularly, Hugh talks about the watershed moment in his career after which AC4S Technologies really took off.

We also have a heartfelt discussion on the importance of integrity. Regarding the recent cheating scandal at West Point, both Hugh and John share their thoughts on conducting your personal and professional life with the utmost integrity.

As the CEO of the Council of Tampa Bay, Hugh also shares how he is helping create a safe space for CEOs to share their challenges and struggles with their like-minded counterparts.

Towards the end, we have some excellent advice for young people on the cusp of their professional life. Enjoy!
