| The Power and Paradox of Gratitude | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:19:07 | |
Gratitude is one of the most powerful forces we can tap into—for our mindset, relationships, and work. Yet it's also full of paradox. It can be hard to access authentic gratitude when things are messy, stressful, or hard and it can even become hollow when we use it to cover up discomfort. On this episode, I talk about the power and the paradox of gratitude, especially at this time of year. I share how genuine appreciation can help us stay grounded, connected, and strong, even in the midst of uncertainty or challenge.

| How to Create a Culture of Winning with John Beam | 18 Nov 2025 | 01:10:51 | |
This is an episode to honor the late, great John Beam who passed away last week. John was the Athletic Director and former Head Football Coach at Laney College in Oakland, CA. He and I met in 1989 when I arrived at Skyline High School in Oakland where he coached football for 22 years. John and his Laney College Eagles were featured in the series Last Chance U on Netflix in 2020. As an incredibly successful high school and college football coach over more than 40 years, John knew a lot about how to build a winning culture – in football, business, and life. This interview was conducted in August of 2020 and we are re-airing this conversation in honor of John's great life, wisdom, and legacy.

| Shifting from Blame to Responsibility | 25 Jul 2023 | 00:29:43 | |
We live in a world obsessed with blame; constantly focused on who's at fault for the various challenges we face, individually and collectively.

On this episode, I talk about the disempowering aspects of blame and offer some ideas for how we can shift to responsibility in an authentic and effective way.

| Let it Go | 12 Jul 2023 | 00:27:34 | |
There are really only two ways to resolve any conflict or issue we face - deal with it directly, all the way through until it gets worked out…or simply let it go. Letting things go is such an important and liberating thing to do, yet it can be challenging for us to do so authentically. On this episode, I talk about some of the reasons it can be difficult to let things go. I also share some specific ways we can do this consciously and effectively.

Emotional intelligence is so important to our success and fulfillment in business, relationships, and life. It's also essential for strong leadership and healthy teams.

| Operating with Joy and Perspective | 02 May 2023 | 00:25:24 | |
Inspired by NBA star Steph Curry's brilliant performance against Sacramento, I've been thinking about the importance of operating with joy and perspective.

| How to Change Your Story | 10 Sep 2025 | 00:23:54 | |
As someone who has been passionately telling and listening to stories for most of my life, I know how powerful they can be.

| Sensitivity is Not Fragility | 19 Apr 2023 | 00:28:11 | |
We're encouraged in our society to be strong and confident, and not to be fragile.

I also talk about how important it is for us to embrace our sensitivity and tap into it as the superpower that it can be.

| The Paradox of Winning | 12 Apr 2023 | 00:31:07 | |
We live in a culture that is obsessed with winning - in business, sports, school, and life. And while I definitely prefer to win than to lose, there is often a real paradox in our pursuit of success. When we get so obsessed with the outcome, we can lose perspective and forget what we're truly wanting to accomplish and experience in the process. On this episode I talk about some of the things that make our desire to win challenging. I also share some ways we can alter our relationship to winning that can actually lead to more authentic success and ultimately to a real sense of contentment.

| The Only Way Out is Through | 28 Feb 2023 | 00:30:42 | |
I went to see a powerful one-man show this week in New York called Without You, by Anthony Rapp, the actor who originated the role of Mark in the musical Rent on Broadway. Anthony shared a moving story in the show about dealing with the loss of his mother and being told that "the only way out is through," regarding his grief journey. This phrase and concept, while challenging at times, is so important for us to remember as we navigate various aspects of work, family, and life, especially these days. On this episode, I talk about why it's essential for us to lean into discomfort, even when it's painful or scary.

| It's Not About the Numbers | 03 Sep 2025 | 00:20:58 | |
There are lots of numbers that we focus on at work and in life - revenue, health markers, net worth, social media followers, survey results, expenses, and many more. And as important as these numbers can be, what's almost always more important are the people and vision behind the statistics themselves. On this episode, I talk about some of what makes it challenging for us to keep our relationship with numbers in perspective. I then share some specific things we can do to relate to our most important numbers in a healthy and empowering way.

For many reasons, both practical and emotional, it has been more challenging for us to connect with one another over the past few years. And while things have improved on this front in recent months, it still seems more difficult for us to engage with one another these days both professionally and personally.

| The Power of Silence | 11 Jan 2023 | 00:28:25 | |
I spent this past weekend at a wonderful meditation retreat. Although I have had my own meditation practice for almost three decades and have been attending workshops of all kinds for years, this was the first time I'd been at a multi-day event like this. I found being in silence as much as we were to be both challenging and enlightening. There is so much power in silence, if we're able to slow down and embrace it. On this episode I talk about the importance of going within and how we can live, work, and relate to others in a mindful and conscious way when we embrace silence.

| Let's Be Kind to Ourselves | 05 Jan 2023 | 00:29:59 | |
As the New Year gets underway there is a lot of focus on resolutions, goals, and intentions, which makes sense and can be both important and impactful. However, what we're usually wanting to experience with whatever healthy practices or desired achievements we focus on is feeling good about ourselves. And what can often get in the way of our success and fulfillment is being harsh and critical of ourselves. What if we started with self-kindness and made a commitment to be kind to ourselves, regardless of the circumstance, situation, or outcome? On this episode, I talk about how important this is and I share some specific techniques for how to accept, appreciate, and have compassion for ourselves.

| The Importance of Showing Up | 07 Dec 2022 | 00:24:36 | |
Our ability to support and empower others, as well as create success and fulfillment in our lives has to do with if and how we show up.

I also talk about how we can show up for ourselves and others, even and especially when things are hard. Resources: | |||

Being grateful doesn't mean everything is great, it means we're willing to look for, find, and acknowledge the gifts, lessons, and blessings in our life. Doing this in an authentic and effective way can be challenging for a number of reasons, especially these days.

Many years ago, I heard Dr. Michael Beckwith say, "Don't waste a good crisis."

| The Difference Between Discipline and Vigilance | 16 Aug 2022 | 00:25:05 | |
I've often thought of vigilance as just a more intense version of discipline.

On this episode, I talk about this essential distinction and how we can shift from fear-based vigilance to choice-based discipline.

For a number of reasons, especially these days, it's easy to feel like we're alone. When things get hard, scary, and even painful, many of us, myself included, have a tendency to judge and isolate ourselves. However, one of the best things we can do when things are challenging (and even when they aren't), is to remember that we're not alone and to reach out to those around us. On this episode I talk about how easy it is for us to feel alone right now, even though that's not usually the case.

With the United States Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe vs. Wade, I've been feeling angry, sad, and deeply concerned about the impact this decision will have. I've also been thinking about the importance and power of choice - both in terms of this specific decision and also in terms of how we react to challenging circumstances. Viktor Frankl famously said, "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom." On this episode I talk about the difficulty and necessity of this concept right now and how we can choose to respond to what's happening.
