Good vs. Bad Motivation
A must-listen for anyone currently pursuing (or considering) big goals in their life. Brad and Steve dive into one of their favorite topics: how to strike the right balance between internal and external validation in the pursuit of big goals, and the interplay between identity, ego, and achievement. They give examples of what happens when motivation goes awry. They touch on people like Elizabeth Holmes, Barry Bonds, and Lance Armstrong, and in a nuanced way. And they provide concrete strategies to cultivate the good kind of motivation while minimizing the bad.You can find the episode on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcher***Check out our exclusive community bonuses on Patreon.Get a copy of The Practice of Groundedness!

When To Thrive vs. Simply Survive
Progress, continual growth, and development are all great, no doubt. But we all go through periods of life when it is wise to shift the goal from thriving to just getting through and surviving. What generally gets in the way: rigid expectations, fear of losing your rhythm, and the (false) entangling of how you feel (internally) with how you perform (externally). On this episode we dive into all that and more. Whether you currently feel like you are thriving or surviving, we're confident you'll find this week's discussion both interesting and practical, with concrete actions you can take starting now.You can find the episode on:iTunes and Apple PodcastsSpotifyAndroidStitcher***Check out our exclusive community bonuses on Patreon.Get a copy of The Practice of Groundedness!
