It’s safe to say we’ve all had seasons in our lives where maybe we’ve felt busy but not productive. Or maybe overwhelmed by all we’re doing or that is expected of us, while feeling that our true talent and potential goes unutilized. Greg McKeown tackles these conundrums by helping us master the “disciplined pursuit of less.”

Today we get into another banger (can we use that word for books?). Ryan Holiday’s "The Obstacle is the Way" shows us how to flip obstacles into opportunities. Holiday submits that how we respond to obstacles is what defines us - not the obstacles themselves. We get to choose!!! Are we sensing a theme here, folks?!?

Ah, we got a good one for ya today. We’re diving into a book that was a game-changer for both of us in terms of our spiritual journey. Richard Rohr’s "The Universal Christ" will open your eyes to a world of “what if.” What if… “the Christ” is in everything - including us? What if… God TRULY is in everything? Some pretty deep stuff to ponder from this one.

Are you interested in refining your communication? At home. At work. With a spouse or partner. We tend to fall into the trap of making demands rather than requests. Marshall Rosenberg gives us an integration of four things that predicate nonviolent communication: Consciousness, Language, Communication, and Means of Influence. Join us today as we dig into the art of making the request.

In his book, "Mastery," Robert Greene argues that we can all be Masters, but we must follow three phases: apprenticeship, creative-active, and then mastery. The problem is over-coming our hunger for magical shortcuts.

Another must-read for some language around the current status of whatever it is you’re doing now AND a challenge to do the work to get where you want to be.

We follow up last week’s episode with Part 2 of Original Self by Thomas Moore. Reflect on this: What would it feel like to FULLY accept yourself - full-on forgiveness, full-on compassion, full-on empathy… toward yourself? Moore brings this idea to the forefront. Today, we touch on the idea of our full being (light and dark), a coaching perspective on depression, and much more… and much Moore.

Today’s “Book Report” is brought to you by The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck. According to Beck, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” Inspired by the hero’s journey found in Dante’s “The Divine Comedy,” she breaks down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. Once again, we barely scratch the surface of the wealth of aha moments provided by Beck.

Richard Rohr is one of the most influential authors in the lives of both Jamie and Shane. In his book, Breathing Under Water, Rohr shows us how the Twelve Steps offer a spirituality that can help us face our dependencies head-on and in doing so find fulfillment and true joy. Not just for alcohol and substance dependency, Rohr adapts the steps into a spiritual practice to embrace our flaws and vulnerabilities which leads to inner healing.

Dr. Joe does a masterful job of melding science, quantum physics, and spirituality and helps us discover how to reprogram our biology with the aim of changing our minds and lives.

Jamie is calling this book your first read if you’re interested in maximizing your potential… if you feel like you tend to fall into patterns of starting and stopping… if you are in need of a mindset shift on persistence, staying the course, or seeing the thing through. The author pulls no punches and just lays it all out there. Powerful book if you’re stuck or just need to wake up!

If you’ve listened to previous episodes, you know that Jamie is an avid reader and a recall machine. So, we thought… what if we took some books from the top of his list and just recorded some audio book reports. And if you just got triggered by the idea of “book reports,” just hear us out. We want to redeem that idea.

So, today, we are launching our first episode of “Book Reports,” which will be a series of episodes intermittently inserted into The Thrivalist Podcast regularly scheduled episodes.

First up is a book called, "Resilience: Hard Won Wisdom for Living a Better Life" by Eric Greitens. Enjoy. And let us know what you think!

On today’s episode, we have the honor of sitting down with a legend in the music biz. Michael Blanton has been in the A&R/management side of the music business for almost 50 years. He signed some of the biggest artists in Christian music history (Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Rich Mullins, and many more).

His understanding of culture and innovation in music and marketing led to a storied career with a multitude of accolades, awards, and platinum records. We get into lots of great stories from his time in that world. Now in his early 70’s, we get the sense that there’s still a lot more to come from Michael Blanton. Enjoy!

Jamie Lee Finch is a somatic facilitator, body worker, LMT… in short, she’s a conflict mediator between humans and their bodies. We jump into some pretty mind-blowing concepts around how our bodies remember and then remind us especially in those moments when we’re feeling stuck. Do you feel connected to your body? Does your body make you aware when things go awry? Jamie wants to help make the connection.

Shane Stevens is a singer/songwriter whose resumé includes writing songs for Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Walker Hayes, Lady A, Sara Evans… and the list goes on. We had the pleasure of hanging with him for a bit and recording the conversation. Shane is an absolute gem of a person. He shares stories of his life from his time in NYC to the move to Nashville and everything in between. His stories are enthralling and the through-line with which he connects them all is fascinating. You’ll want him to be your bff. Ladies and gentlemen, Shane Stevens.

JT McCraw is a coach, builder, and co-host of GreatMan Podcast. We jump headfirst into his story and dig pretty deep into shame versus guilt, personal growth versus maturity, the bad habit most of us have of constantly lying to ourselves, and a whole lot more. Prepare to be inspired by JT’s story, the lessons he’s gleaned over the years from his coaching, and by his vulnerability - both in his story and in the inner work he’s done over the years.

Beecher Reuning is a film professor at the University of Kentucky. Their story is so compelling and inspiring. Beecher shares with us their beautiful story of being raised evangelical Christian in the south and the harrowing journey of coming to full acceptance of their non-binary self while also holding on to elements of their faith. We also get into some “movie-making” talk and the art of disagreeing with someone. Just a beautiful episode.
