Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
There is a concept that states we all have a masterpiece within us. It’s the one unique thing that reveals itself to the world over the course of our life that represents the best sum total of who we are as a person and makes the world better for you having been there. But we often don’t understand the process in which that happens. Is it something that is ‘forced’ out of you or is it something that just happens along the way if we have the skills to recognize it. That’s what I’d like to talk with you about in today’s podcast.

Monday May 13, 2019
Monday May 13, 2019
How often do we simply do what is expected? On one level there isn’t anything wrong with that since you are fulfilling a role or doing your job like you should. There’s another word for this - you are competent - put another way your performance is average. My sense is that if you’re listening to this podcast you want to be more than that. Let’s talk about an excellent life. Grab a cup of coffee and let’s chat.

CWD-35 Be Unreasonable
Wednesday Apr 17, 2019
Wednesday Apr 17, 2019
Today’s topic gets a lot of bad press but it needs to be embraced in a positive way because this is what keeps us alive and going strong as we get older. As human beings we are built with a desire to “want” things. Not just in a material sense, but in a sense of wanting to grow, succeed and achieve something we were not able to previously achieve. When we’re young our elders ask us “What to you WANT to be when you grow up?” Often those desires are tamped down by those around us who can force us to be reasonable when it comes to our desire to “want” to achieve our ambitions. How do we deal with those forces that hold us back? Grab some coffee and let’s talk about that today.

Wednesday Apr 10, 2019
Wednesday Apr 10, 2019
When other do things, say things or even post things on social media it’s almost second nature for us to make judgments about them. If we like that person, it’s usually a good opinion. If we don’t, often the exact same action can leave us forming poor opinions. But we must remember that it works both ways in the things we say and so… and post. That’s what we get into in today’s Coffee with Dad.
