045: Let it Pass Through Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

We have countless things pass through our lives every day. When driving, we'll see trees, cars, buildings and all kinds of other things that pass in and out of consiousness. Once they're gone, we don't think about them again.

Then something sticks. It doesn't pass through. Maybe something that bothers you or triggers a bad memory. We hang onto it, let it invade our mind and sap our energy.

What if you could let anything you want just pass through like all the other things you see every minute of every day? How much more energy would you have? How much more happy and productive could you be?

044: Focus on what you can control. Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

We can spend a lot of our lives being bothered by things that are totally out of our control. Wouldn't that evergy be better spent on things we can actually control? This espisode pulls lessons from chapter 1 of The Enchiridion by Epictetus where Bus applies Stoic wisdom from 2,000 years ago to current issues in graffiti and life. There are many translations of this text. This episode pulls from: The Good Life Handbook: Epictetus' Stoic Classic Enchiridion.

Show notes

About a year ago, shortly after Kub's passing, Bus sat down with Andi, Kub's sister and Brandon, Kub's sponsor to discuss the topic of addiction and share some insight into Kub's character. It's hard to say exactly why it took so long to release the episode.

Kub, we miss you, brother.

Show notes

We've all heard the phrases about living in the moment, tomorrow isn't promised, live today like it's your last, etc., but how many of us really consider this? How much differently would you live your life if you were able to maintain this perspective? On this episode, Bus shares a story that helped him put these concepts into perspective; maybe it will help you as well.

041: You Have Control Over Your Reaction Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Often times, it feels like we have no control over our reaction to situations. Before we know it, emotion comes in and takes over. A shift in mindset and some practice can be a big help in gaining control over your response.

This episode also has some wisdom from Kub at the end, so be sure to stay tuned for that.

040: Today is the Day, Motherf*ckers Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

"Most of us have two lives; the life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two, stands resistance." - Steven Pressfield

In this episode, we talk about the force known as resistance; it comes in many forms and keeps us from doing what we need to do. Whether it is doing more art, getting in shape, or starting an important project, resistance always seems to be waiting to fuck us up.

Check out the book The War of Art by Steven Pressfield to get a more in depth view on the subject.
