We're back! After more than a year away from the mic, Habit Masters returns with an unscripted, heart-led conversation about what really drives us. In this comeback episode, Jeff and Sheldon talk about overcoming fear, embracing selfless love, and why the shift from survival mode to meaningful contribution is the real path to becoming your best self.Inspired by a Seth Godin post on “Generosity Fear,” we explore how love—not fear—is the key to lasting transformation. We also dig into self-care, spiritual insights, and why it's okay to embrace imperfect progress. Stick around for story time at the end, where we relive some epic wipeouts on longboards and hoverboards (because growth sometimes hurts—literally).

What can you really accomplish in just a short summer?In this bonus episode of Habit Masters, we discuss strategies we're using to teach our kids valuable skills over the summer. We focus on the importance of consistency and daily practice in achieving significant improvements. From personal growth stories like balancing drawing and running, to sharing examples of a Twitch streamer's journey from novice to a skilled artist in 100 days, we dive deep into the benefits of daily habits. We also talk about how we're encouraging our own children to set goals, track their progress, and engage in intentional exercises every day to build discipline and reach their aims. The key takeaway? Small, consistent actions lead to remarkable results.

Are SMART goals really that smart? In this episode of Habit Masters, we challenge the conventional wisdom of setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.
