Here's an important reminder:  you'll never feel ready to start.  But you've got to do it anyway. And the operative word there is "do." Just start. This episode is the kick in the ass you need.  Too often we get bogged down in the dreaming, the research, and the preparing - without the DOING.  Feel me on this?  It's a common excuse that most of use…that we just need a little more planning …  Wrong...

And it sparked an unexpected journey that pushed him into the leading role in the 13th season of The Bachelor .

I've always taken the approach that you don't do something to become happy — you are happy, and great things happen. Happiness is a super power that we all have in us. Admittedly this is a very tough mindset to keep, so I brought an expert on the topic: my good friend Vanessa Van Edwards. Vanessa bills herself as a "behavioral investigator" - what that means is that she is absolutely amazing at un...

After more than a decade covering conflict, photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale couldn't help but notice that the less sensational—but equally true—stories were often not getting told: the wedding happening around the corner from the revolution, triumphs amidst seemingly endless devastation. As a result, she re-committed herself to seeking out the stories within and around "the story". Ami is a...

Let's face it, despite being more digitally connected than ever before, we're more isolated and lonely. The cure for this loneliness epidemic? Human connection.

Stop me if any of this sounds familiar: You're lurking a peer's social media account, and what started as a cursory browse quickly takes a detour down the rabbit hole of self-doubt and envy: "S/he is so much better at X or Y than I am – I'll never catch up! Look at his/her amazing X or Y and s/he's always hanging with X or Y celebrity and nobody even knows who I am – ugh, I should just quit and do...
