We’re meant for good in each other’s lives. Just think about how contagious a smile can be, or laughter, even from a stranger. We have the potential to heal and champion one another, to help each other grow even when we don’t see eye to eye. Meant for Good is a collection and exploration of stories and ideas that challenge and inspire.
Today on the podcast we have another fable from Aesop about stewardship along with a parable from the gospel of Matthew.

In today's episode, we'll talk about kindness amidst anger. How do we bring kindness into the assumptions we make about each other? We'll dig into another fable from Aesop and a couple scriptures to help us explore this question, and we'll also discuss another question that is extremely helpful in determining if our feelings are appropriate for the situation.

Over the past couple of weeks, we've talked about what can happen when we don't seek the truth. First, we looked at a man who was seeking approval or acceptance from others. He gave in to every criticism he received, causing him to become completely insecure and unstable. He failed to take responsibility for his life, his choices, and the people and things he was supposed to care for. In short, he was a poor steward. Next, we discussed Icarus and his father, Daedalus. Icarus ignored his father's warning and arrogantly chose pleasure instead, which led to his death. Today, we're going to delve deeper into what happens when the wise are ignored. And I have a tale for you from the Brothers Grimm that I think you'll recognize.

"Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid." Proverbs 12:1 Today I want to talk about the consequences of not listening to wise counsel. We'll dig into the tale of Icarus and Daedalus - as told by Josephine Preston Peabody. The 4 questions referenced in this episode that can be used to better understand something: What is it?

Today, we're going to discuss two of Aesop's fables that deal with self-conceit, comparison, and ultimately, pride. We've all heard the saying 'pride comes before the fall.' When we misperceive reality and assess ourselves in a way that is inaccurate—either thinking that we are greater than or less than who we truly are—we create a delusion. The first fable is about self-aggrandizement. The second is about self-deprecation. In both cases, the result is destruction.

Appearances can be deceiving and our thoughts and emotions don't always line up with reality. What can we do about this? One solution is to develop a logical process that includes questions that help us understand and discern the truth about what we're thinking and feeling.

Episode 3 of the Friends and Fables series, featuring material from The Phrontisterium by Shane Roberts and “The Goose With the Golden Eggs” by Aesop. In this episode we explore two different approaches to learning and to life. The locked circular model, which is not open to change, and the unlocked linear model, which incorporates new information and is constantly growing. We'll discuss the differences between the two, how they can be driven by fear or love, and we'll look at a few examples.

It's not every day a futurist and inventor agrees to sit down and tell epic and nerve-racking stories about inventions breaking and fixing on national television, innovation in women's education in Europe (when it was very unpopular), and how his family escaped the Nazi's in WWII, partially thanks to the music of Brahms. I met Ray at a trade show called NAMM many years ago. I played several performances on his Kurzweil keyboards (which are my favorites), and I had heard Ray tell some of his stories at a few parties over the years. One night he ended with a phrase that stuck with me and helped inspire this podcast: “You never know how you might change someone's life.” This is one of my favorite interviews, and I'm so thankful to Ray for sharing and opening up his home in October of 2019 so I could bring a microphone in and we could catch up over breakfast.

Voted NFL All-Pro in 1972 and '73, Mike decided he would rather play music than football for a living, so in 1980, he moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting. He shares about getting his start in football, the importance of becoming “competent” at something, and the story behind a song that you're probably familiar with. It's one of my favorites and there are some details I hadn't heard before. Enjoy! And be sure to catch part 1 with Mike if you missed it!

He's in his 70's and he loves to walk his nightly beat downtown, popping in and out of restaurants and clubs, listening to music, saying hi to his friends on the wait staff, and gathering new friends of all ages as he goes. In this episode, Larry shares a bit of his history, which includes a miraculous healing from paralysis, and his L.O.V.E method of evangelism... which sometimes looks like being the designated driver for a young friend at 2am.
