    David and The Jimmy go deep on what David believes he's discovered in Europe, the behaviors, tenacity and spirit of the founders of the United States. Apparently it is alive and well in Europe as it has been for centuries, but the same can't be said for those in the states, it's gotten diluted, relaxed, entitled, and the further west you go, the worse it is. . --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

    On this day dedicated to creating remarkable memories, David is in the thick of it. And, while just being in Cinque Terre will undoubtedly do the trick, he does what he does best, he consciously manifests ones where the average person may not. A key element of this process is understanding that any exceptional event, will be the building block for a remarkable memory. To most, it's not completely understood that "exceptional" simply means one standard deviation from the mean - which often means that the event may be construed as negative at the time, but later will be embraced and recalled with fond affection. Translated: There is no such thing as a "bad memory" in this paradigm, labels are for shrinks and have no place in our Red Kite sanctuary. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

The second generation of everyone gets a trophy, banning homework and coddling the living shit out of their progeny. Michelle weighs in and couldn't agree more. The answer to why American kids are not the majority in their own Ivy League colleges is pretty simple. Yet we still watch as parents disable their children with a strange sense of urgency and then lament, surprised, dismayed, perplexed, at how their kids didn't get accepted into quality colleges, or into any college at all. Entitlement is always at the root of these behaviors and their subsequent outcomes and it starts at a young age, guided by strong parents. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/red-kite-movement/support

    David is rounding third and heading for home, more than 3/4 of his flights complete, he's a bit punchy, jet-lagged and culture-shocked. With no offense meant by his observations to the nice people of Munich or Germany, David's sarcasm is at an all-time high due to his fatigue and the listeners are the beneficiary to his wit, wisdom and humor. Michelle adds her two-cents remotely from the states via what sounds like a 1980s satellite uplink LOL.

HIs love affair with meeting and bonding with people, proved to be too much for his discipline and restraint as the universe delivered Rachael. But, despite veering off mission momentarily, he has zero regrets. Podcasting from the Vancouver airport without his mics, which were unexpectedly checked in with his carry-on, he manages to navigate through the chaotic noise that can only exist in a busy airport.

    David and Sarah meet for drinks and freeform – intended to be a discussion on humility – the walk from the airport to the café morphed and changed their final destination. Four clips: Clip 1. The fool's game of thinking you can change aspects of your partner, embracing what makes your relationship quirky and… the deal-breaker and where compatibility plays a significant role. Clip 2. Questioning decisions…”Holding your past hostage is holding your future hostage.” Clip 3. Ripping the band-aid off vs. the fallacy of the effectiveness of relationship CPR – knowing the delicate balance. Clip 4. Rising above, knowing when you're the thorn in the foot. Elevating to true love. Michelle and David comment on the conversation. Still experimenting, the duo are in experimentation mode with their format – nothing is off the table.
