Hard Things

This episode is about the theme of fear within Christopher Nolan movies. Let fear drive you forward but not rule your life.

This week I discuss the dichotomy of space and time with references to the movie Tenet, Jocko Willink and a few other sources. You're running out of time to enjoy this episode.

This week I speak on assassinated heroes, civil rights and finding faith in trying times. Hot start to 2025!

This week we explore paying attention in the now while keeping the future in mind. To sacrifice or not to sacrifice?

What do Harvard Football, Nick Saban and the movie 300 all have in common? They're all topics of discussion on this week's episode. If you block out the sun, then we will fight in the shade!

After a few weeks off to truly understand what I want, Hard Things is back with another episode. 2024 was a tough year but I like producing the podcast and will continue to do so in 2025.

Series finale of the most recent set of episodes. Double episode on the brain!

This episode is about the connection between the thyroid, cold exposure and self-expression when it comes to regulating metabolism. Enjoy!

This week is about the heart chakra, immunity and heated recovery modalities. Enjoy!

After a quick review of the last two episodes, we dive into fasting, tracking macros and blood sugar controlling substances as a method of improving our health. Insulin is a powerful hormone so learn how to affect it positively with us.

Week two of this new train of thought brings us to the sacral center of the body and the reproductive glands. Learn how I was able to positively influence my hormones using sleep, probiotics and a sensory deprivation tank.

Today is the start of a new project of writing a book. I'm using the next seven episodes to focus my attention on the content of the book and organize my thoughts. Week one is about the adrenals and the vagus nerve's ability to calm us down through various relaxing activities, among other things.

Are you living from love or for love? Join me on this episode to ponder what this even means and what it looks like in practice.

Self-consciousness can be misconstrued as a negative thing in many contexts, but I argue that it is not. Join me this week to find out why.

Sometimes what we allow ourselves and others to get away with is mind-blowing, and it tends to ride on the coattails of delicate feedback loops. If you give an inch, they take a mile. However, the opposite can be true of positivity which makes this a topic that I had fun diving into. Enjoy!

Reaching our full potential in life is a combination of effort and time. Give up too soon and you never reach your potential, but if you give up too late you leave little to no time to pivot. Finding the right combination of persistence and flexibility is crucial to thriving in life. Join me this week as I work through some thoughts on this topic.

Our effort can be spent on preserving what is or building something new. How do you know when to move on? Find out this week~

Do you experience major FOMO from the rat race and all the trappings of life? If so, this episode is for you. Luck = preparation + opportunity.

Feedback is the ultimate way to improve in life and get shit done, but it is also tricky to tell good feedback from bad and also be open to properly implement changes within yourself. I don't ultimately have a ton of answers but I have a lot of questions that will make you think.

All good things come to an end and the original concept for Hard Things has come and gone. We put a ribbon on the topics of S3 and prepare a bit for the new format to come starting on Thursday.

This week we dig into some chiropractic nerdiness with the sacrum, sacral chakra and the Soul Stone from the MCU. If you struggle with low hormones or overactive ones, this episode is for you.

Having finished the discussion around Christianity and Buddhism, we move on to purely artistic interpretations of the Solar Plexus chakra and the mind stone from the MCU. We're gonna get this back on track using willpower.

Join me as we complete the Noble Eightfold Path, and discuss the connection between Dr. Strange's Time Stone and the heart chakra.

This episode is part convincing myself to keep going, and part pulling myself out of a slump in real time. You are worthy and deserve to take up space in this life!

Season 3 continues with an examination of power: what it seems to be, what it definitely isn't and what it might ultimately be.
