I’m taking a bit of a break from recording new episodes of the podcast because, well, I deserve a break. The 95th episode dropped about two weeks ago so there are a lot of episodes to listen to or relisten to. Below are ten suggested older episodes for you to check out. To give you READ MORE

Aspiration, Ambition, and Action
A few months ago I shared an episode of Todd Henry’s podcast in which he was speaking with best-selling author and coach Dr. Marshall Goldsmith about his new book The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment. It was a very interesting conversation and definitely made me want to read the book, and I’m currently doing just that. But READ MORE
Making Up For Lost Time Doesn’t Work
I’m on a roll right now. Ideas are popping, and I’m thinking strategically about a lot of things at work. All or most of my brain cylinders are firing. This is very different than how I was doing three and a half to four years ago. My thinking was fuzzy, my creativity was shit, and READ MORE
Setting Intentional Limits
We used to take our daughter to the race track here in Saskatoon. It was free to get in and she liked to watch the horses. My wife and I would bring a total of $40 with us in cash of which we could each place some bets and buy ice cream for the three READ MORE
The Next Six Months
On Friday, the first half of 2022 will be done with six months remaining. For many people, the first six months of the year were hard, scary, draining, and many other adjectives that don’t describe “a good time was had by all.” In the 94th episode of the podcast, which came out yesterday, I talked READ MORE
A New Way to Look at Progress
Let’s say you’re running a long race and you’re right next to your number one rival when you trip and fall to the ground. Your shoe fell off and your knee is bleeding. You look ahead and see your rival still running toward the finish line. You quickly tie your shoes in a double knot, READ MORE
Invest In The Small Things
“Most big, deeply satisfying accomplishments in life take at least five years to achieve. This can include building a business, cultivating a loving relationship, writing a book, getting in the best shape of your life, raising a family, and more. Five years is a long time. It is much slower than most of us would READ MORE
From Day-to-Day to Your Purpose
I recently wrote a post about doing a “Weekly Review”, an idea that comes from David Allen’s book Getting Things Done (GTD). Another important aspect of the GTD method that I think often gets overlooked is the “Horizons of Focus”. According to Allen, there are six horizons of focus that he explains using a “flying READ MORE
What Are You Working For?
Last night my daughter had her first lacrosse game (they won 16-3) so I didn’t have time to write a blog post in the evening. I’m taking just a few minutes to write this morning before leaving for work. While making my smoothie and getting my stuff together for the day, I listened to Todd READ MORE
Better Late Than Never
Many years ago I added the little sticker to my driver’s license indicating that I’m an organ donor. I also made my wishes clear to my family. What I hadn’t ever done, however, was donate blood. There were times in the past when I was anemic and just used that as a blanket excuse to READ MORE
