Angie Thurston: Redifining Religion May 10, 2017

Show notes

What you illustrated with your frustration at a service in a religious context is that it’s not doing the job it’s supposed to do in your life. We come at this whole question from the perspective that religion is really about the tools that we use to make meaning of our lives and help us live flourishing lives. That means all sorts of things. It means giving you a sense of connection to other people around you, to your deepest self, to the natural world the moments of transcendence or the experiences that some people might call God, to a sense of time to history. Really it helps you find a place in the world, it gives you a sense of who you are. A ritual, a set of words, chant, or song, all the tools or religion were right at one point in time. To be honest, someone could still sit in that service and find something. But it’s not working for you, and you’re not alone in that question. The fastest growing religious group in the US is “none of the above.” – Angie Thurston

Angie Thurston and Casper ter Kuile are Ministry Innovation Fellows at Harvard Divinity School and On Being Fellows. They are the co-authors of How We Gather and Something More, two reports profiling new forms of meaningful community in America.

Srini Pillay: The Power of the Unfocused Mind May 03, 2017

Show notes

Often I will ask people “do you want to live an exceptional life?” And most people will say yes. But an exception by definition is low probability. If you want to live a normative life you’ll be in the middle of the bell curve. But if you want an exceptional life it’s going to be low probability. Anyone who wants an amazing life is probably going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of possibility. You ask yourself what is the possibility of doing something? Rather than saying “how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this grief” you ask yourself “what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do? There what you’re looking for is the exception.. The very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule. – Srini Pillay

Dr. Srini Pillay is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry (Part-Time) at Harvard Medical School. He is known for combining “head and heart” (figuratively and literally) in an approach to personal development and goal mastery that blends science, spirituality, and horns-grabbing joie de vivre to combat the stresses faced by ambitious and high-achieving people in academia, business, and life. He’s also the author of Tinker, Dabble, Doodle Try: The Power of the Unfocused Mind

Daniel DiPiazza: The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Entreprenurship May 01, 2017

Show notes

For any listening who is thinking about starting a business, thinking about doing something on their own because instagram told you to or because you feel like it’s going to be easier, just know that you can’t have all the good stuff of entrepreneurship without the bad stuff too. It’s just not possible. It’s just like life. A lot of people are looking at entrepreneurship and saying “I want this result. I want a million dollars. And I’m very ambitious.” The link between those things is entrepreneurship. They’re thinking that they have to become entrepreneurs because they want to make money. That’s not the only way to make money and it’s certainly not the easiest way to make money. You have to be able to do all the stuff that nobody talks about if you want to be an entrepreneur. You don’t just start a brand and that makes you money – Daniel DiPiazza

Daniel is the founder of Rich20Something and leader of the tribe. He built the company up from humble beginnings blogging away in his basement. His honest and incredible writing abilities caused his blog to “break the internet” exploding him into the spotlight getting him features in outlets such as Time Magazine, Fortune, Entrepreneur, Business Insider, and Yahoo! Business. He’s also the author of Rich 20 Something: Ditch Your Average Job, Start and Epic Business and Score the Life You Want.

Charlie Hoehn: When Work Becomes Play Apr 26, 2017

Show notes

There’s this underlying current with everybody that you need to justify your existence with these major accomplishments. You need to show everybody else that you’re doing it right. But really, you were just given this life. None of us asked for this. This was all a gift. So it’s crazy to fall into these rhythms where we think “that’s what I need to be doing.” Rather than reflect on, what are the moments that brought me joy where no one was grading me, no one was forcing me to do the activity, I was just doing what I wanted to do. What were those things that you did as a kid, those activities where you were just left to your own devices, you were on your leisure time, you weren’t in school, no one was directing you or instructing you to do anything. What were the activities that you were repeatedly and voluntarily turning to because that’s really your Northstar. – Charlie Hoehn

Charlie Hoehn is the Head of Author Marketing for Scribe Writing. As an author himself, he is the literary equivalent of a Snickers bar.

Anese Cavanaugh: Developing an Intentional Energetic Presence Apr 19, 2017

Show notes

When you look at the IEP method there’s 3 parts to it. The first thing is the ability to reboot your presence in the moment no matter what’s going on. This is something that’s happening all the time. Let’s just say one of us check out or I’ve got to regroup to think about your question and I find myself going in my head to find the answer, I still have to reboot, come back, and be fully present with you again. That part of is presence, being able to be present in the moment is happening over and over again. I find that the more you practice it, it’s like a muscle, the stronger it gets. The second part is the ability to create intentional impact which is a huge piece. The idea is that we’re always creating impact. If I go out on stage, our interaction here, if I’m working with a team, if I’m working with my kids, if I’m having a conversation with my partner, I’m always creating impact. And the impact is either going to move us forward move us forward be positive or it’s going to maybe move us back, and create little bit more of a mess, or be kind of beige and who wants beige? I’d rather be creating impact that’s joyful, life giving, and forward moving. – Anese Cavanaugh

Dan Lerner: The Science of Happiness, Peformance, and Well Being Apr 17, 2017

Show notes

Don’t expect to be a world changer in the next 5 years. If you do your setting yourself up for maybe success on stage, but failure off. If you really want to pursue a life that’s interesting, that’s purposeful, that’s fulfilling, know that it might take a while longer. And those things that you’re really interested in will come together in due course. Just don’t set your bar so high that it’s absolutely unreachable. – Dan Lerner

Frank Ostaseski: A Glimpse Into Mortality Apr 12, 2017

Show notes

We spend all this time imagining we’re going to get ready for our dying. And I think it’s kind of an absurd idea, to imagine that at the time of our dying that we will have the strength of body, the emotional stability, and the mental clarity to do the work of a lifetime. It’s an absurd gamble. We should do this work now and that includes those of us who are not dying. Our aging parents for example. Be with them now. Tell them you love them now. Waiting is full of expectation. Waiting for the next moment to arrive we miss this one. Waiting for the moment of dying we miss all the moments in between. Hold death out there. Shine a light on it. Hold it out there as a way of reminding you to attend to what most matters.

Frank Ostaseski is a Buddhist teacher, international lecturer and a leading voice in contemplative end-of-life care. In 1987, he co-founded of the Zen Hospice Project, the first Buddhist hospice in America.

Danielle Laporte: White Hot Truth Apr 10, 2017

Show notes

It started to dawn on me that I was actually really tired of trying to be better, that all the things I was doing weren’t necessarily making me stronger. There was a lot of dependency on external input, what I call the paraphernalia of the new age. And it wasn’t hard to see this. But it wasn’t just me that was feeling that way. It was really me and all my girlfriends. Every time I get off stage the women would come up to me and I’d hear the same things. Basically, we’re really tired. And this is not the point, further fatigue, berating yourself. I’m pretty sure that this is not the point of walking the spiritual path. – Danielle Laporte
