Awaken The Awesome

My wife and I have been married for a little over 6 years now - but we've actually been a couple for 12. Yea. What I love about our dynamic is the effort we individually put into keeping our communication as rigorously honest as possible. (I actually got that term from a very good movie, Top Five  with Chris Rock & Rosario Dawson - you really need to check it out. Please do.) Don't get me wrong - it hasn't always been smooth sailing as relationships, and the people in them, can and do evolve. And keeping up with these changes can often lead to some uncomfortable, if not upsetting chapters. Fortunately, we've managed to stay strong and committed to each other and keep a steady course that has brought our fair share of fun and insightful conversations and memories. In this post, I wanted to share 2 very insightful episodes from two of my favorite podcasts namely  Lewis Howes' The School of Greatness   and  Brett McKay's The Art of Manlines...

Really enjoyed this conversation from this podcast I started listening just this morning. The podcast is called the Good Life Project and is hosted by Jonathan Fields. I'm a podcast fiend, maybe because I enjoy conversation and the intimacy brought on by the medium which, in my honest opinion, has simply become and can be very well considered as the natural organic evolution of Radio. I often gravitate and am draw towards content that seeks to elevate and add value to my personal quest of being better everyday - and this certainly hit the spot. A powerful and insightful talk about the pervasiveness of mobile phones and the increasingly concerning social shift brought on by these devices, in regards to relationships, conversations and expectations. Seems like beating on a dead horse, right? It certainly would seem that way. But, in this time of split-second attention spans, digital dominance, information overload and skewed social norms...I think it's important to be mind...
