The first thing we need to do to find success is to stop looking for it. The expression that “Success is a Journey, not a destination” has become so overly used and cliche that I hesitate to suggest it’s importance. I was inspired the first time I heard it, but being as slow as I am to pick up on…
005 Movement as a Lifestyle with Brian Pratt of Thrival Life
Brian is the baddest assed person I’ve ever met. He is a movement instructor who specializes in natural primitive movement technique and is a proponent of the paleo diet. He works with his clients on their health goals while engaging in natural movements within a natural environment.
I had the honor of going through an introductory exploration of some of his techniques and processes. The woods near my house served as our gym, and the fallen trees, grassy pastures and boulders filled in for our equipment. After my punishment in the 110 degree Redding heat, we sat down in the wilds for a slightly winded, but informative interview about his philosophies on incorporating movement into everything we do.
Thrival Life considers the health of the whole person and how to maintain a fully alive lifestyle. Whether you’re at home, work or on the go, their goal is to help you create and optimize your best life with nutrition, movement, restoration, and community. The goal is to help you to be ready, capable, and resilient so that you are thriving in your life.

002 Why Being a “Nice” Person Sucks, This Guy’s Making and Dismantling of a Nice Guy
This episode is a bit of a departure from the typical interview format, as the shows will sometimes go. This episode is all about the anxiety that comes from keeping your mind focused on future outcomes, rather than in focusing on what’s in front of us. My own struggles with chronic niceness are discussed as well as how my awareness began to grow around my own insecurities. As we shine a light on our own insecurities and allow them to inhabit the same space as us (without attempting to push them away or shrink away from them) their power over us weakens.
I talk about how I’ve recently invited some of my own insecurities in to examine them for what they were. I get into what I learned in the process.
Awareness, is a key element of growth, and a the surest way to break down personal boundaries. Join me on the journey. You can learn more at www.letgohello.com

We discuss perspective shifts required as people go through the grieving process and find their identity, and how to know when a relationship is over.

We also get into what makes a healthy relationship. We also delve into business relationships as well.

Imperfectly Achieving Your Goals
It is vastly important to remember what makes you human. Your imperfections are what make you unique and allow you to connect with other people. Have empathy for yourself as you meet obstacles and make mistakes. Have empathy for yourself while you refine your character as you stumble along. These are the experiences that will shape and build who you…
What do a Hairdresser and a Programmer Have in Common? Six Ways to stand out in your field.
The normal person who cuts my hair was out today, but I put my name on the list anyway. While waiting, another hairdresser was in the front area consulting with a woman who was getting highlights. It was evident that she either had a lot of knowledge, or that she was clueless. My knowledge of coloring and “W’s” and “V’s” etc.…
How Fear Can Undermine Your Chances at Making a Real Connection
We can smell fear about as well as dogs and bees can. (Thanks for the reference, little boy from Jerry Maguire!) Face it, if you’re in a conversation with a person who seems nervous, you probably feel awkward and are searching for a way to end the conversation and politely move on with your day. It’s uncomfortable. I ran into a…

Another “Secret” to a Happy Life
“The sleep of a laboring [wo]man is sweet” -Solomon We often fantasize about not having to work. Our culture often promotes this ideal. Automate! Optimize! Delegate! Put systems in place, and you won’t have to work! So many are making the shout. The truth is, when I look back, I’ve always been happiest when I’ve had work to do. To…
8 Benefits of Culture Shock
Here’s an article of mine that Lifehack.org picked up recently. It’s called “8 Benefits of Culture Shock”. I’m linking to it at the urging of my wife. It’s a surprising look at the benefits of a seemingly negative thing. 8 Benefits of Culture Shock
Luck’s Three Step Formula, and My $2,000,000 Mistake
“To be ‘lucky’, you must build the skills you’ll need in order to ‘attract’ the luck you want.” Luck is about attracting and then acting upon opportunities. Though some people just seem to have all the luck, they have it because they act on opportunities when others do not. Most people have a skewed vision of luck as a passive…
When should you fight and when should you give in?
Fight, and you may win; let go, and you may feel like you’ve given in; but what are you fighting for? What do you value? If you’re holding on and fighting because you’re angry about a situation or an individual…or if you feel wronged in some way or another…it becomes important to evaluate what’s at stake before launching into a battle.…
We Try to Control Everything While Feeling Like we Control Nothing. Do we Really Have Any Control?
In our lives, we spend so much energy wrestling for control. What do you really have control over? You don’t have control over the family you’re born into. You don’t have control over what other people do or say to you. You don’t have control over other peoples perception of messages you send. As an educator, this is a difficult…
They’re Waking Up
What of our children who are nearing the graduation of high school? They have been sold on a dream that with an education, they can find the job of their dreams. In my community, I’m seeing more and more people holding down two jobs to make ends meet. I’m seeing many on disability or welfare who are lacking skills,…
How the World Sees us is a Reflection of How We See us
“I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger” -The Faces When I was in high school, I was small. I know exactly how much I weighed because I used to wrestle. I wrestled at 103 pounds through my Junior year, and as a Senior, I started at 103, but finished at 118 pounds. I wasn’t…
Read This Before You Give Up
Are you feeling regret when you you look around at what others “have”? That feeling you’re feeling is very common. Hang in there. It’s something that most people would agree they have felt. If they say they haven’t, they’ve probably forgotten or are lying to you. 🙂 Depression tends to come from our anxiety about the future. We look into the…
Letting Go is Like Standing Up: A Personal Perspective on the Hero’s Journey
Clearing crap out of a closet feels good, but often, the things in our lives we most need to clear out and let go, are internal. The shower floor is where I found myself one morning when my legs would no longer hold me up. I felt like I was bound to a planet with six times the mass of…
Three Places You Can Visit to Get Over Your Smallness
A struggle of mine that rears it’s ugly head from time to time, particularly when unfinished projects begin to stack in front of me, is that all too familiar feeling of overwhelm. Sometimes I just want to throw in the towel. It’s about that time that I begin to feel small. …too small to keep on, too small to build…
