POPULARITY
In this bonus episode, originally recorded last September, the guys chat with long-time friend and fan of the show, Sean Eddy. In an off-air moment, the stories started flying and a familiar thought occurred..."Why aren't we recording?!" So, we did. If you miss the bygone days of The Crossover Show (minus the swears) wherein we just regaled you with entertaining tales, this bonus episode is for you. You'll learn: Why Sean is lucky to still be employed ;-) How MC charmed a superior to get his job The importance of keeping a good sense of humor (or humour for our international friends) We'll be back next week with a brand new show!
MC Vikram grew up in a very traditional, South Indian (specifically Malayalee) household where education and church were emphasized greatly. He developed a love for comedy at an early age and decided to take the risk, step out of his cultural comfort zone, and create his own material. Fear of how his content would be received led him to create anonymously, so he could just step away if the reaction wasn’t what he wanted. His leap of faith was worth it as his songs circulated around the world and became extremely popular, changing his life forever. “Welcome to India” Are you afraid to open yourself up to criticism? MC created the parody song, “Welcome to India,” back in 2002, which was the pre-social media generation and an entirely different world. Now, he’s making a comeback with a new generation. His comedy is something he loves doing, not just for himself, but to bring laughter and happiness to others. If you think about your next step too much, then you open yourself up to “analysis paralysis.” MC says that not everything you do will be a success, and the moment you put something into the world, you open yourself up to criticism. The key is to keep going. TWEET: “Stop chasing money and start chasing happiness.” #chasingdreams Outside the box Are you comfortable in stepping “outside the box”? MC says that every culture has its expected norms, but Indian culture especially has strict expectations for achievement. His decision to use comedy, stereotypical accents, and rap music to highlight Indian culture was definitely outside the box of these cultural norms. Even though “Welcome to India” was clean, catchy, and something Indian kids could be proud of, MC had to endure his share of criticism. His intention was never to bring a negative light to Indian heritage, but to step out and take a risk with the talents God has given him. He believes that sharing your talents can lead to great things! TWEET: “You have to think about failure as part of the formula for success.” #chasingdreams Enjoy the failure! Are you afraid of failure? MC wishes that people knew how to take baby steps in accomplishing their goals and didn’t dumb down the capabilities that they have. The fear of stepping outside of a comfort zone and the fear of failure keep many people in professions that they think are safe and secure, but they aren’t finding happiness. Failure is part of success, and it doesn’t define you! Stop fearing failure, take the steps forward, and enjoy the risk! TWEET: “Some people aren’t living their true selves, but are living what’s defined for them.” #chasingdreams OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [2:39] How MC got in the game [5:00] A flashback to 2002 [6:20] The fusion of comedy and rap [8:35] Respect for the Indian culture [10:50] Praise and criticism [12:33] Making his dreams happen [14:30] Working on a comeback [16:45] How MC kept going [17:15] Being outside the box [20:25] Why MC takes the risk [22:43] The intent in moving forward [24:37] What MC wishes people knew [29:15] Don’t compare yourself to others!

Missional community life can be tricky and hard to sustain. Leading missional communities can seem even harder to navigate. How do you determine if you are like-minded enough to lead with another person or couple? How do you get started? This week on the Lifeschool Podcast, we’re gonna teach you how to determine who you should lead a missional community with and what should happen when you don’t agree on things. When discussing leadership within new or existing missional communities, there are two roads we need to look at: 1. working with leaders you’ve developed and they too are now leading with you, and 2. putting a new team of leaders together. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What missional community (MC) leadership looks like. How MC leaders can build stronger relationships outside of a weekly meeting. The best ways to bring up conflict as leaders and how to deal with it. Getting leaders on the same page as to “what the mission is” that we are on. How practicing the 23 “one-anothers” found in scripture is key to healthy leadership. (http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450) (http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450) From this episode: “God shows his grace on Earth through people, and leaders show others God’s grace and what it looks like to know and live out the good news of the Kingdom in every area of life. Your job in leading a missional community (or a church for that matter) is primarily that–not to be in charge and make all the decisions about what everyone else is supposed to do.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Welcome to the show, Marie Claire Bourque. MC is a psychiatrist, a university instructor for Med students at the University of Calgary and the co-founder and co-owner of Limbus, a workout based on movement, emotions and inner strength. We talk about how mental health plays a huge role in peak performers such as athletes. How MC took her knowledge and experience from exercise physiology masters to human behaviour psychology and experience with clients and turned it into a group fitness program to create The Methodology behind the Limbus workout. MC describes the different pillars that make up Limbus, connection, challenge, play and growth. She explains how the repetitive movement of the workout is very intentional and connects the mind and body to move through emotions that you’re going through. She shares her advice for what people should do to strengthen their mental health include the amount of physical activity you should get per week, how gratitude can help and mindfulness. https://www.limbusmovement.com/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/limbusmovement/ We talk about superpowers as well as what keeps her motivated.
