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.

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. Fortunately, Dorie Clark has the truth to share with career-driven individuals who seek long-term success: How to Create Success Playing the Long Game.

Despite the many obstacles she faced, Dorie Clark never gave up on her journey. As she shifted from academia to journalism and eventually into entrepreneurship, she discovered that pushing through adversity was crucial to achieving her goals. In her latest book, "The Long Game," she emphasizes the importance of staying committed to one's passions, even when the road becomes uncertain. Drawing from her own experiences and those of countless others, Dorie demonstrates that it's not about the number of competitors at the starting line but the few who make it to the finish. By being persistent and consistently evaluating one's desires and motivations, anyone can find success playing the long game.

Isolation and loneliness are often interchangeable, but is one more important than the other? My guest today, Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, reveals that both are essential to our health and well-being and can increase the risk of premature mortality. But what happens when one is surrounded by others and still feels lonely? Or are isolated but don't feel lonely? Join us as we explore the complexities between psychological and social well-being and physical well-being. The answers may surprise you and leave you with more questions...

In the podcast, Julianne Holt-Lunstad distinguishes between isolation and loneliness by emphasizing the distinction between objective physical separation and subjective emotional experiences. She points out that a person might be physically isolated but not feel lonely, or vice versa. Both conditions can significantly impact one's health, and understanding the difference can aid in developing effective strategies to alleviate their consequences.

When Gretchen Rubin's eye doctor warned her of the risks of losing her sight, she never expected this unexpected twist in her life--an awakening that allowed her to experience the world with heightened clarity and joy. Little did she know that this moment of awareness would lead her on a journey to uncover the power of her senses and a newfound connection with the world. We discuss Rubin's brand-new book Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World.

Have you ever heard the myths that engaging the five senses intentionally can't bring joy and that it’s too hard to be mindful when engaging the senses? Or that sensory mindfulness is just for those seeking relaxation? Gretchen Rubin is about to show you the truth about rediscovering joy through engaging the five senses intentionally.

On Passion Struck, I am joined by Susan Magsamen, the founder of the International Arts + Mind Lab and co-founder of NeuroArts BluePrint. Our conversation revolves around her recently published book, “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us,” which explores the latest scientific research that highlights the inherent human capacity to create and appreciate art and how it has the potential to bring about transformative changes in our lives.

On the podcast, Susan Magsamen argues that although the arts are often seen as a luxury or entertainment, activities like painting, dancing, and architecture are essential to our well-being. They believe that we are at the cusp of a cultural shift where the arts can offer powerful and accessible solutions to improve the lives of everyone. We go through the changer world of neuroaesthetics and why they must be viewed as a have-to-have.

We discuss his #1 NY Times bestselling book titled "From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life."

Arthur C. Brooks, an esteemed authority on the economics of happiness, explained the central idea of his book: that contentment in the later stages of life is entirely attainable. The essential factor is to redirect our attention toward specific priorities and behaviors that are accessible to anyone. By cultivating qualities like profound wisdom, detachment from materialism, fostering connections and serving others, and making spiritual advancements, we can pave the way for greater happiness.

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.

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?"

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.

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.

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' 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.

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 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.

Rory is the NY Times bestselling author of "Take the Stairs: 7 Steps to Achieving True Success."

The most successful people in the world realize that the meaning of their lives is about addressing the problem they solve in the service of other people. It's about service. It's not self-centered. It's others-centered. But how do you create and become the person who serves the person you once were? What are the keys to building a life-changing personal brand? How do you find your uniqueness?

This how-to manual offers grace to the human experience by reassuring listeners that life may throw them a curveball now and then, but they can bounce back and even fly forward.

We discuss the challenges of bouncing back when things go wrong, the impact of four key areas of life on one's ability to recover, and the steps of the Fly Forward framework for navigating the stages of Falling, Igniting, Rising, Magnifying and Thriving.

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."

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.

In today's final Passion Struck episode of 2022, I talk about the significance of finishing your year strong to feel good about your progress, prepare for a prosperous new year, and pinpoint opportunities for development.

The passion-struck podcast's final episode of the year is here, and it's designed to help you finish the year strong. As the new year approaches, it is essential to finish strong to maintain your momentum into the new year and hit the ground running in 2023.

A successful year's end does not necessarily mean that all of your goals were accomplished. To absorb the essential lessons and acquire the knowledge and motivation to do much better in the upcoming year, it means appreciating your progress over the past year and understanding what led to your triumphs and setbacks.

The spirit of the holidays is often thought of as a feeling of joy, love, and generosity that is associated with the holiday season.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, we talk with Juliet Funt (@thejulietfunt) about the importance of having a minute to think and how it can help us achieve our goals and live our lives to the fullest. Tune in to hear her insights and recommendations!

Juliet is the author of A Minute to Think, nominated for the Next Big Idea Club curated by Malcolm Gladwell, Dan Pink, Susan Cain, and Adam Grant. She is an evangelist for freeing the potential of companies by unburdening their talent from busy work.

Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/) and InsideTracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store https://info.insidetracker.com/passionstruck).

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.

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/).

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.

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.”

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.

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 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.

Learning to be vulnerable can be messy because it comes with significant risks and big rewards. It's difficult to put ourselves out there because we fear it could impact our reputation or may even cause us to lose our partners or friends. But, the power of vulnerability also leads to finding a beautiful sense of belonging and being embraced by others.

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.

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 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.

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.

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. So much of our lives are predicated on the lens through which we view life. Our perception impacts how we view, comprehend, analyze, reflect, and interact with the world around us.

So many people see everything in life in a negative light. I'm really hoping that this podcast is the podcast that inspires you to implement the five steps I laid out in the episode and put them to use to change your perspective, create a winner's mindset, and better your reality.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Over the past several weeks, I have interviewed several guests on the Passion Struck podcast who have experienced the consequences of abuse and neglect. These include my recent interviews with Kara Robinson Chamberlain, who was kidnapped by a serial killer and sexually assaulted. Carrington Smith, who was emotionally abused and neglected for years by her parents and sexually abused while she was in college. I also interviewed Rabbi Avremi Zippel, who was sexually abused for ten years during childhood. I created this podcast to bring more awareness to how to heal from abuse and face the future with hope.

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.

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.

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 - 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

Vice Admiral Sandy Stosz shares why the world needs leaders with the moral courage to stand strong and steady. Leaders who are capable of uniting people in support of a shared purpose. Leaders who want to make a difference by helping people become their best.

Admiral Sandy Stosz served for 40 years in the US Coast Guard, including 12 years at sea. Her career was filled with leadership lessons gleaned while breaking ice and breaking glass as the first woman to command an icebreaker on the Great Lakes and to lead a US armed forces service academy. She has lectured widely on leadership and has been featured on CSPAN and other media outlets. In 2012, Newsweek’s “The Daily Beast” named Sandy to their list of 150 Women who Shake the World. She is the author of Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass: Leading in Uncharted Waters.
