Weaver & Loom

Happiness is the only thing that matters--but happiness is a decision that you choose not a product of circumstance. It isn't a vision greater than ourselves that makes us happy. Or a good day, better job, raise, car, "doing what we love" or "following our hearts"... none of that will make us happy (it may help you continue to live in delusional, but won't make you HAPPY). You must CHOOSE happines...

The pursuit of happiness tends toward the pursuit of pleasure, mostly because people don't know what will actually make them truly happy in the long run, so they mask their pain with the pursuit of pleasure which will always result in tragedy. Instead of pursuing happiness and pleasure, you need to be pursuing . . . Well I don't want to give it away--listen to the episode to find out.    Be a chan...

Following your heart is on the top ten for the worse advice anyone has ever given or received. How many people have been murdered, raped, bankrupted, divorced, abused, abandoned, or overdosed because they decided to follow the emotion of the moment rather than staying true to principles and wisdom. Just as you can't adapt the laws of physic to suit your needs, you can't reject principles and justi...

You are right, this is a trick question. Listen to the episode to find out WHY you don't know the name of the most celebrated and honored soldier of all time.  As you listen to this episode remember that true greatness is not about getting recognized for your achievement . . . but courage and boldness to set out to achieve your goals and never shrink back--even if it cost you everything. Until nex...

Most of us think that "changing the world" is really hard to do. I would agree, "Changing the world" is nearly impossible when we put it in terms of changing seven almost eight billion people's lives. But, changing the world is quite simple once we realize, like Nicholas Winton, that if we help one person in front of us--we will have changed the world. For more info on Sir Nicholas Winton (and the...

When I was writing my Honor's Thesis in university . . . I was stuck. Big time. After months of research and staring at a blank sheet of paper I couldn't get a single sentence out.  In a moment of desperation on went to the chair of the literature department who was overseeing my thesis and received wisdom that would change my life--forever.    Until next time... Be a changemaker, weave your desti...

What would you do if you got defiled by a demi-god, who happened to be your brother-inlaw . . . and then got your tongue cut out when you said you would tell the world? In the myth of Philomela this is exactly what happened--listen and learn how she overcame, and how you can overcome too. Until next time... Be a changemaker, weave your destiny, own the future.  Thank you for listening, and as alwa...

When Gates fail, when we do not defend the moral fabric of our society. Lives are lost when the voices of those who seek to do good and right and silenced by political maneuvering. Defending our moral fabric--which comes from our orientation of the sacred space and truth, is not just a cute idea, but the lives of many depend on it. Here are some links to learn more about the MS St Louis  https://e...

All of the previous episodes on defending the gates are important. Each one can, and will, make or break the culture of any community. Commerce--Money--is a pillar in any organizational structure, and how we choose to relate to and structure our financial institutions will lead to prosperity in an organization . . . or the eventual death of the organization. Until next time... Thank you for listen...

Do these things exist in your organization, family, or personal life? Freedom of speech. Freedom of expression. Free exchange of idea. Honest 360 feedback. OR Are people walking on egg shells?  Afraid to speak their mind? Afraid to tell you the truth? Everyone having side conversation about issues--but their are never openly addressed? The city gates was a place where people could assemble, exchan...

In the gates of ancient cities lawsuit and disputes would be heard, laws would be passed, and judgment would be upheld.  Creating clear rules, cultural norms, expectations and consequences are important for maintaining healthy and safe communities. When members of any organization know that they will justly be guarded and protected, they are able to rest, relax and do their best work knowing that...

In the city gates of ancient cities, Kings would make appearances and give speeches, casting vision, making royal decrees, and having a personal touch point with the people she, or he, was leading.  As we lead our organization, or families, we must intentional build in a set rhythm of showing to to cast vision, lead, and connect with those who we are responsible for.  Until next time... Thank you...

  City gates were a place of celebration. Are you celebrating your cultural constitution, role models, icons, ideal behaviors in your life, or organization? Celebration is critical to weaving a strong cultural fabric.  Until next time...

If you want to build a cultural frame work. If you want to be a boundaried individual, family or business--you need to know your story, and create memorial to those defining stories so that you will always remember and never forget the path you are on. Stories act as a grid for us to decipher meaning in the world and direct us toward making right decisions.  Erect monuments--and tell the story ove...

Sacred Spaces, or religion ceremonies, was the first of seven core function that would happen in the gates of ancient cities.  Sacred spaces to not merely mean "organized religion beliefs" but it is your worldview. Where you believe the world came from, and where it is going. What do you believe the macro narrative of mankind is--and therefore how do order our lives.  Knowing and understanding wha...

Defining a culture of a nation, city, brand, family, or person is not random. There are specific areas that must be defined and defended to maintain the integrity of any individual or organizations of individuals.  Many people, or brands, have these defined already--but due to poor decision making while defining the constitution of their community they suffer as organization, or individuals.  But...

Pop/Liberal Culture and ideology loves the idea of BRIDGES... Why? Because bridges means NO BOUNDARIES which then places control into the hand of those who desire to shape society for their own power and financial gain. How? Through undermining your personal sense of identity, purpose, structure, and convictions about who you are and where you are going. What should you do about it? Listen to this...

One of my favorite books of all time is "Franny and Zooey" by JD Salinger, in which Franny says, "I wish I had the courage to become an absolute nobody." Do you have the courage?  You should.

Business  . . . brands . . . no, PEOPLE, forget that what they are making is very different from what they are selling.  What are you selling? It is what people are buying? Because all people BUY the same thing.  Listen, and remember the thing you set out to sell . . . (Oh as mentioned in the show . . . if you are in Muscat--bring a friend to @cafesociety.om and your friend (not you) gets a free d...

Truth is the most hated and fear thing in all of history. It will kill you if you aren't careful... but without it you will be lost forever.

A few months ago I asked who I should interview and multiple people said MOEFLOOD. One thing lead to another and Mohammed and I were sitting down together in Denver Colorado for an interview. (Which is a miracle that Mohammed didn't die snowboarding the day before.) We hit on: The TRUTH of growing a channel on social media. The power of conflict. How to choose a college major and career.
