This is the 150th episode of The Road Home Podcast! Yay, Big Deal! But, it's—as always—also a conversation about the Dharma, and the mind, and how to work with your own experience. And your mind, especially during meditation, can be boring. Very boring. So why is boredom such a difficult, yet important—and creative—experience? What do we do about boredom in meditation practice, as well as boredom in daily life? Using a teaching on working with boredom in three stages, along with teachings from earliest Buddhism on the “hindrance” of restlessness, Ethan unpacks the creative power of boredom. It's an incredibly important reframe of this very human experience, but don't worry, it's not that exciting after all. Enjoy!

What if the things we avoid the most—like messing up, slowing down, being bored, or even facing our own death—are actually the gateways to lasting joy?Join Matt O'Neill and award-winning journalist Eric Weiner as they shatter everything you thought you knew about happiness.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Daniel Koonce, Caleb Talley, and Jeff Amerine dive deep into the topics of screen time, digital distraction, and addictive technologies with Ian McCready, founder of selfctrl. Ian's journey is as relatable as it is eye-opening—once addicted to video games himself, he now leads a nonprofit aimed at helping kids and parents reclaim their time and mental wellbeing in the age of endless scrolling and instant dopamine hits.Through candid stories, Ian shares how recognizing the negative impact of his gaming habit (sometimes up to 14 hours a day in college) prompted a complete lifestyle shift. He ultimately launched selfctrl, dedicated to equipping both youth and adults with the skills and frameworks to develop healthier relationships with screens. From school assemblies to workshops for parents, Ian and his team offer practical, actionable steps for families feeling overwhelmed by technology.What's striking is the universality of the challenge. Ian highlights stories ranging from elementary-age children struggling to put down YouTube to adults admitting addiction to mobile games and social media. Listeners will find both comfort and motivation in Ian's advice: set limits, seek real-life community, and be transparent about struggles. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder about the value of relationships and human connection, something screens can't replace.

Episode 202: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada agree that smartphones and apps can make life more efficient, but they also worry these tools are making it harder to think deeply, reflect and create. The hosts discuss how the constant stream of notifications, tasks and digital distractions — what some experts call “sludge” — leaves little room for quiet thought or meaningful engagement. “More and more, we’re finding it harder to focus, be present and make room for long-term thinking,” Rada said. Kyte points out how this pace of change, accelerated by artificial intelligence and personalized apps, can feel overwhelming. “It’s like things are just happening to us now,” he said. “And no one’s really talking about what the benefits even are anymore.” The episode weaves together research findings, personal stories and cultural observations. The hosts reflect on how even simple actions — like turning off notifications or going for a walk without headphones — can restore some mental space and foster creative thinking. Kyte recalls how boredom as a child often sparked imaginative games and projects. Today, he argues, kids and adults alike rarely feel bored, reaching for screens instead. “Boredom is a great impetus to creativity,” he said. “When you’re not bored, you lack the incentive to invent or explore.” Rada also notes how the digital habits that once felt generational have become universal. In airports, waiting rooms and even family dinners, everyone — from toddlers to retirees — seems glued to a device.

Listen to today's podcast... “I'm bored, there's nothing to do”. As summer vacation begins for thousands of children this is far too often a familiar complaint. But boredom is generally a totally self-inflicted problem. The antidote to boredom is curiosity. Curiosity happens when you start to explore the world around you. You will be less likely to feel bored if you go out, get active, pick up a new hobby, or even volunteer. You will be too busy learning new things or meeting new people to feel bored. For children the anticipation of summer-fun wanes as the summer goes on and all those previously fun activities start to feel stale. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Anti-boredom Month with your family: Make up a new sport. When you've created new rules for an old game, your mind in more engaged and time flies by. Change the scenery – Set up a tent or a picnic area in your backyard. Put out a challenge. Design the classic scavenger hunt or let the kids design the challenge for an activity and see what they come up with. Come up with a list of the most boring things to do and see how the creative juices kick in. And if all else fails – suggest a list of chores that they can complete. You will be amazed at how quickly they can find activities to entertain themselves. Remember, If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! In this episode, Erin Bradley and I dig into what it really means to keep your light ignited as an entrepreneur. We talk about burnout, the feast-or-famine cycle, and how I learned the hard way that success isn't just about grinding harder—it's about aligning your passion with your purpose. We also get into why systems and scaling are key to maintaining momentum, and how boredom might be your signal to evolve or delegate. Plus, the infamous “7-year itch” and what it means for your business journey.Key Highlights:1. The Light Within: The struggle with burnout and limiting beliefs, and why keeping that internal spark alive is crucial to attracting opportunities instead of chasing them.2. Feast or Famine Rollercoaster:We talk about the common cycles in industries like mortgage and real estate, and why having systems in place helps you push through even when your motivation dips.3. Boredom as a Signal:Boredom isn't just about disliking your work — it can mean you're ready to delegate or pivot. I reflect on how important it is to keep evolving.4. The 7-Year Itch:We discuss how roughly every seven years, entrepreneurs face a crossroads where passion fades, and how recognizing this can help you make smarter decisions for your business and wellbeing.Final ThoughtBurnout is real, but so is the power to reignite your fire. Keep your light on, embrace change, and build a business and life that excite you every day.

What if death isn't inevitable but a solvable problem? This episode explores how biohacking is reshaping our understanding of mortality, legacy, and the limits of human performance. You'll learn why some of today's top thinkers are treating longevity as both a science and a spiritual movement, and how this shift affects your brain, your mitochondria, and your entire approach to life.

Together, they unpack the four universal immortality narratives, the dangers of mind uploading, and why AI might become humanity's next god or destroyer. You'll discover how legacy, ego, functional medicine, and even fasting and ketosis play into our fear of death.

Send us a textWhen I say the word 'imagination' what comes to mind first? What age were you when you last used your imagination? I mean used it and then bragged about your skills to someone else? Were you a kid in school?I think of SpongeBob, shaping his hands into a rainbow saying slowly, "Imagination!"  What if I told you it's not just the stuff of childhood? In fact, it may be a superpower. It is definitely a bridge between an idea and reality.Let's get into it.Imagination 101Middle English: via Old French from Latin imaginatio(n- ), from the verb imaginari ‘picture to oneself', it is the ability of the mind to be creative or resourceful. This root definition of the term indicates the self-reflexive property of imagination, emphasizing the imagination as a private sphere.Google charts the use of the word 'imagination' and its low point, the time when it was least used? The early 1980s was the low point of the use of the word imagination, followed closely by 1944. Wow.Singularity Hub dot com asks this;" You can easily picture yourself riding a bicycle across the sky even though that's not something that can actually happen. You can envision yourself doing something you've never done before—like water skiing—and maybe even imagine a better way to do it than anyone else."They continue, "Imagination involves creating a mental image of something that is not present for your senses to detect, or even something that isn't out there in reality somewhere. Imagination is one of the key abilities that make us human. But where did it come from?"Show Sources & Materials (Interesting stuff to read, listen or watch NEXT) The Magic of Trees, Curious Cat Podcast, iHeart RadioDream! Dream! Dream!

Ever sat still long enough to hear yourself think? What about long enough to hear yourself scream?This episode is about the three characters that show up when the world goes quiet--fear, boredom, and madness. I met all three of them in the dark. Some of them became friends. Some... not so much.I get into the games your mind plays when there's no one to distract you, and how facing these voices helped me reclaim parts of myself I didn't even realize I had buried. This is about going beyond self-help into self-reckoning. It's a wild one, and it might just mirror something you've felt but haven't named yet.Cheers,  Traver
