Announcing The Anti-Revolutionary War Walking Tour  Sunday, AUGUST 25! Tour starts at 11am. Tickets here!  PODCAST PROMO CODE FOR %50 off: citybetween It is rare to hear the whole truth about New York City’s role in the Revolutionary War. It’s embarrassing. It’s problematic. It’s mostly forgotten—and for good reason. Even when it is mentioned by the occasional tour guide or random sign, it is still glossed over, finessed, and given the best possible spin, which isn’t much. The truth is that many, many New Yorkers supported the losing side. They didn’t necessarily approve of the way things had been going in the colony, but definitely didn’t want a revolution… and they were prepared to give everything to stop it. Join Bruce for a walking tour on Sunday, August 25 (just days before the 1776 Battle of Brooklyn Anniversary) through lower Manhattan of the Revolutionary War--from the Loyalist perspective: an Anti-Revolutionary War Tour.  It will tell the story of those who signed up to fight against Washington and the Rebels, of those who hoped for change through other means, of those who found their freedom by siding with the British. We will also tell the story of New York’s role as the as the Headquarters for British forces for the seven long years of the War and as the center of Loyalist support in America. We will walk through lower Manhattan and talk about the sites and people and stories from this often untold or hurried-over perspective and understand how precarious and precious the eventual rebel victory actually was.

Join Bruce and Josie for an interview with Dr. John Mikesell from Indiana University.

Anti-American "gimmicks" have been done in wrestling for decades but Muhammad Hassan is the only character to ever be banned from television in the WWE. Join Bruce and Conrad as they examine the "how" and "why" of one of the most controversial characters in wrestling history. Who had this idea originally? How was it different than what had been done before? How did they choose who would portray the character? What were the booking plans before the incident? How did the man behind the character handle the success? What REALLY happened with him in "Wrestler's Court" and what was the verdict? What were the choices considered once the incident was already taped but had not yet aired? How did Vince react to the negative mainstream coverage of the angle? Did the WWE ruin a guy's career with one bad decision? The "what if" of this character and a single decision could have changed everything. And of course the guys get it over whether or not they should have done the character in the first place. Enjoy two hours and no one is going to agree about, the story of Muhammad Hassan!

The relationship between culture and security is an important one and one that is discussed a lot. Unfortunately, many people miss the point somewhat when exploring culture and security. The obvious place to start is the security culture within an organisation, but let’s not dismiss organisational culture too quickly. Better still, let’s also take a look at industry culture and national culture. So you see, when we start looking at culture and security, there’s more to it than we might initially assume. So we thought this would make an excellent podcast episode. Today, Bruce is joined by Gert Jan Hofstede. Gert Jan is a population biologist and social scientist hailing from the Netherlands whose research and publications have provided many with deeper understanding in the areas of cultural evolution, societal change, cultural stability, and how those forces interact with and have influence upon one another. He is also known for his work in social simulation as well as for a number of books he has co-written with his father, Geert Hofstede. In this episode, Bruce and Gert Jan discuss a wide variety of organization and culture-related topics that have important implications for the Cyber Security industry. “It is as if you were a fish and they asked you to describe the air… If you’ve always lived in one place in the world, then it’s very hard for you to see that behaviors from another place that seem strange, illegal, ridiculous… that those behaviors can make sense, but within a larger [cultural] system.” Join Bruce and Gert Jan in this episode of Re-thinking the Human Factor as they explore: How awareness of cultural differences (or lack thereof) can be an opportunity for greater collaboration between groups, or greater friction, and how this awareness contributes to one’s ability to understand and effectively communicate cross-culturally The need for organizations to achieve a sense of mutual cultural understanding as the starting place for implementing organizational change rather than striving to achieve cultural homogenization as the means for implementing that change Different perceptions of what cultural differences mean to an organization (barrier to progress, a catalyst for a breakthrough, etc.), and the importance of realizing that these differences do exist so that one can begin to try and understand them as a means of navigating the challenges and growth potential afforded by these differences The importance that “cultural ambassadors” within an organization be, first and foremost, acceptable to the cultural audience whom they seek to address 4 helpful cultural metaphors to help with navigating cross-cultural organizational communication: The Family (Asia and Africa) The Machine (Germanic/Northern Italy type of region) The Market (Anglo-Saxon, the UK and North America) The Pyramid (the Mediterranean and Slavic countries) MORE ABOUT GERT JAN HOFSTEDE, HIS BOOKS, AND HIS RESEARCH: Associate Professor at the Information Technology Group at Wageningen University & Research // Population biologist and social scientist in information management and social simulation // Interested in the interplay of the contrasting forces of cultural evolution, societal change and cultural stability.

Understanding the impact of technology on behaviour is one of the biggest questions we must ask ourselves today. Technology is advancing so quickly and we are seeing human behaviour adapt very rapidly. A glance on a train platform during peak hour will hint at people's obsession with their smartphone. Or, just watch a two-year-old use an iPad with ease if you have any doubts. So it seems right to explore this in more detail as cybersecurity professionals need to get their heads around the effect of technology on behaviour and what that means in terms of developing sound and effective information security strategies. A conversation with Ciaran McMahon, Director at Institute of Cyber Security In this episode, Bruce explores this with Ciaran McMahaon, Director at the Institute of Cyber Security and they discuss how advances in technology have impacted people's behaviour. Award-winning academic psychologist Ciaran McMahon joins Bruce Hallas in episode 5 of Re-thinking the Human Factor. Hailing from the Republic of Ireland, Ciaran comes from a psychology background and has extensively studied how advancements in technology, throughout human history to the present day, have affected societal behaviours. He shares our belief that understanding the human side of things is necessary to effectively influence information security behaviours within an organisation, and he is eager to bring his psychological insights to the problems we face in cybersecurity awareness, behaviour, and culture. “It’s unlikely that we can use all of this technology and not be changed in some way…” The effect of technology on behaviour Join Bruce and Ciaran in this episode as they explore: The impact on people’s behaviour of changes in technology and what that means for designing security environments and choices in cyber security awareness and policy implementation How people justify their behaviour and choices not to comply with security best practise including deterrence, punishment vs reward, neutralization, the defence of necessity, and others. People’s innate understanding of right and wrong and the issue of justice and fairness in relation to security behaviours.

Creating effective education and awareness programs is a fundamental aspect of an effective security strategy. In this episode, we talk about the importance of integrating behavioural economics and psychology into the creation of effective education and awareness programs, and the strategy behind them. A conversation with Robert Madelin, former Director General of Health and Consumer Policy at the European Commission Robert Madelin brings a distinguished career and experience to the conversation in Episode 4 of Re-Thinking the Human Factor. Robert has been focused throughout his career on policy generation, awareness and education, and as part of that, designing policy so the odds are stacked in favour of those who comply with that policy.  Why behavioural economics and psychology is relevant to education and awareness programs Join Bruce and Robert in this episode as they each draw from a well of extensive experience to converse around: Fast and slow thinking and how each influences how we behave in society The importance of integrating behavioural economics and psychology and choice-architecture when it comes to the design of EFFECTIVE education and awareness strategies and programs The “uncomfortable truth” that people do not respond rationally when given data and how recognizing that truth is key to guiding policy creation and choice architecture efforts How cultural differences in the cybersecurity space have more to do with digital literacy, age, principles and values rather than one’s passport, or “passport culture”, as Robert refers to it The role of culture or the context within people live their lives, and how that may have an effect upon: the policy itself how you raise awareness within institutions or even nation-states, as in Robert’s experience The importance of international cooperation in efforts to raise awareness and influence behaviour "It's the human factor that makes us vulnerable."

EPISODE 03 SUMMARY - JOHN POLLACK Author // Consultant // Speechwriter // Journalist // Reporter ———————————————— What is needed within cyber security industry communications to generate the kind of awareness and training materials that enable governments, businesses, and the general public to protect themselves against cyber security threats? We want people to hear our message and act in accordance with responsible security behaviours, but what changes do we as an industry need to make in order to accomplish this goal? Join Bruce and John as they converse around these questions and unpack topics such as: John was a strolling violinist at a restaurant where the head chef taught him that people eat twice, once with their eyes and once with their stomach, and that good communication relies on a combination of a sensory stimuli. Building a relationship with an audience, fostering trust, requires communicators to listen as much, if not more, than communicate. Communication needs to come from a place of empathy and this is often missing. The importance of authenticity and credibility in developing and delivering effective communication that supports change in behaviour. "Washington is where good words go to die" comment illustrating the impact of internal corporate communication guidelines on the effectiveness of communications designed to raise awareness and influence behaviour.   “…We ought keep our eye out for ways to capture people’s attention because capturing people’s attention, and holding it, is the essence of communication…”   PROJECTS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Analogies Project Shortcut (by John Pollack)   CONNECT WITH JOHN: Website   Thank you for listening!

Dr. Seuss wrote: "Be who you are and say what you mean. Because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." You have an obligation to yourself, to God, and to the world to be authentically, unapologetically YOU! Be the youest you you can possibly be. To be anything else is to be a fraud, to live a lie. When you are not authentically you, you are stealing from others their right to have a relationship, personal or professional, with the real you! Changing your behavior to please other people is not just unhealthy for you, it is actually a form of manipulation. Just be you. That's what the world really needs! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

Do you like to watch movies on the big screen in movie theaters? I do! It's always interesting to be aware of sitting down in a theater with a box of popcorn waiting for the movie to start. I know where I am and what I am doing. When the movie starts and I get drawn into it, I completely forget that I am Bruce Van Horn and that I am sitting in theater watching a movie of my choosing. I become part of the movie. I lose my "I AM" consciousness. When the movie ends, I'm thrust back into my reality and I remember who I am and what I am doing. Many of us get completely lost and caught up in the movie we are watching in our minds. We think we are the movie, we think we are our thoughts and feelings. We forget that we are the observer of the movie and the creator of the movie. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

When someone tells you that you need to have more self-control, how does that make you feel? Not so great, right? How about when you, from your own internal desires, decide to use more self-control, how does that make you feel? Better, I bet! The reason is, in the first case, someone was trying to run your business. In the second case, you were running your own business by thinking for yourself. Self-control, learning how to become aware of and manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is not something that limits you. It actually empowers you and gives you great freedom! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

In order to grow, you must have a desire for more life. In order for a society to grow and prosper, it must be filled with people who have a desire for more life. Increasing life for yourself is also the best way for you to give an increase of life to those around you. In this episode, I talk about the concept of "Increasing Life" by sharing a chapter from my new audiobook, Create the Life You Want with The Science of Getting Rich. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Very often, we find ourselves in conversations in which we use "I am" statements. People ask us who we are and we respond with statements like: I am a dad; I am a life and executive coach; I am a podcaster; I am a marathon runner; etc. These "I am" statements are descriptions of the roles we play in our physical bodies. They can actually be who we are if we live in an "I am" state of consciousness that is attached to our physical roles and this physical world. What we really are, however, is Spirit. We are Spiritual beings having a physical experience. If we shift our state of consciousness, our "I AM" focus, to our Spiritual entity, it completely changes how we see and interact with the physical world. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Do you love the truth? Think carefully before you answer. Many people don't want to know the truth. What they want is to know that what they already believe is the truth. There's a big difference! Truth is always peaceful. Truth is not dependent on anyone believing it or not. It does not justify, plead, beg, or try to convince you to believe it. It just is. Lies, however, die if you don't believe them. Lies beg, plead, want attention, offer detailed explanation, and try to convince. It takes a lot of work to keep a lie alive! I share with you how to know when someone is lying to you, and, more importantly, when you are lying to yourself. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Nobody accidentally becomes successful. Reaching your goals and living the life you want requires that you know what you want, why you want it, the ability to visualize that life, and the belief that it can be yours. Putting all of that together on a day-by-day, moment-by-moment basis is living intentionally. Live your life with intention, not just for your big goals/dreams, but for all of your daily tasks. Decide what you want to accomplish and how you want to feel when it is accomplished. When you learn how to do this for all of your daily activities, you'll truly discover the power of living intentionally! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by Scott Alan Turner - The Financial Rockstar: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

As a parent to two boys, I want my sons to always take full responsibility for their actions. If they break something, I want them to simply say "yes, I broke that." No need to blame or make excuses, just claim responsibility. We all want this from everyone we interact with. The hardest person to teach responsibility to, however, is yourself! Blaming other people, governments, economies, etc. for who and what we are is easy, but it keeps us a prisoner to the actions of others. However, claiming full responsibility for my thoughts, actions, and how I have responded to events gives me great freedom to move forward to create the life I want. The more responsibility you claim for your life, the more power you have to change it! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by Scott Alan Turner - The Financial Rockstar: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

Whether you like it or not, everything is in a constant state of change. Everything! You are not the same person you were last year, Mount Everest is not the same mountain it was last week. Situations, circumstances, relationships, finances, health, and governments change. If you want to succeed, you must be willing to adjust your mindset and behaviors appropriately. Adaptability, therefore, is a success principle you must embrace. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by Scott Alan Turner - The Financial Rockstar: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

3 years ago, this week, I was lying in a hospital bed trying not to die from the excruciating pain I was feeling. Spoiler Alert: I did not die! In fact, it was during that painful experience that I actually learned how to truly live. It was during that period that I learned just how powerful the human brain is and that we can, if we choose to, focus all of our attention on anything we want. Because of what I learned and my ability to continue to apply it to my present life, I would not got back and undo any of it. It was among the greatest gifts I've ever received. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

People often say "don't sweat the small stuff!" That, however, is a lie! You should sweat the small stuff because all of the big issues in life, good or bad, are made from little decisions made daily. Andy Andrews--bestselling author, speaker, and consultant for some of the world's most successful teams, largest corporations, and fastest-growing organizations--has written a new book, The Little Things, to explain to you, and to prove beyond a reasonable doubt why you really should sweat the small stuff! Listen to our insightful conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

In 1936, Dale Carnegie published "How to Win Friends and Influence People." This book continues to be a bestseller and has contributed to the success of countless people. At the core of his book is character quality of winsomeness. Being likable, charming, friendly, and genuinely concerned about the welfare of others is crucial to your success. Why? Because your success, personally and professionally, will largely be determined by the number and quality of relationships you have with other people. Learn how to "win some" by having the character trait of winsomeness.  Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

It seems logical enough that the best way to succeed in life is to eliminate competition, right? Right! Eliminating competition is the best way to succeed! However, I do not mean eliminating the competition, as in some other person or company. What I'm talking about in this episode is eliminating the competitive mindset from your mind. Success gained through competition never lasts and may be taken away from you by competition. Success, however, gained through the creative process is permanent. Use your mind and willpower to create the life you want. Through creation, you create more life for yourself and for those around you. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

I love all of the technology we have now that enables us to communicate with each other and have access to information faster than ever before. However, this instant access has a downside. It has created an instant-gratification, I-want-it-now mindset. Real life, real success, however, must go through a natural growth process. If our mindset is out of sync with this natural process, it leads to frustration; it causes us to give up and try something new before we gave ourselves the chance to see what we could create had we given ourselves more time. A foundational success principle, therefore, is having an "endurance" or a "life is a marathon" mindset! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

How's your relationship with money? Is it good? Great! Or is it a sore subject, like walking around with a thorn in your foot? We know the pain will go away if you just remove the thorn, but most of us will apply pain-numbing creams, or buy more cushioned shoes before we are willing to take out the tweezers and pull the thorn. I brought back my good friend, Leisa Peterson, to talk about this idea of a money thorn and all of the systems, processes, and behaviors we put in place to maintain the thorn, to medicate the symptoms, rather than dealing with and actually removing the thorn. Listen to our conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

I used to believe that my ability to multitask was a good thing; that I was more productive by doing multiple tasks at the same time. There have been many other things I believed were true that I have since discovered to be false or outright lies! When your mind is divided it is less efficient. When you try to do two things at the same time, you do not do either one as well as you would if you focused on one task at a time. Successful people have discovered this and have abandoned the myth of multitasking. Successful people focus. They focus on one task and one person at a time.

F.M. Alexander wrote: "People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures." What we do every day, the habits in which we engage, have the largest influence on our success or failure in life. These habits can be physical acts or habitual thoughts. The things we do and the things we think about most frequently shape who and what we become. Knowing this, creating the habit of a positive morning and evening routine can build a strong foundation for your ongoing success. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Did you know that exercise is vital to your success in any area of life? It is! Without exercise, I could not be successful as a parent, a lover, a writer, a podcaster, or a friend. In order for me to truly be successful at these, I must exercise; I must get stronger; I must be growing. I'm not just talking about exercising my body, however. The body is important, but we must also exercise our mind and spiritual life to have complete success in any area of life.

Success happens more easily when you are not stressed out about people or events. The best way to not be stressed out about people or events is to not take anything personally. Therefore, a foundational success principle is "don't take anything personally." This is the 2nd agreement in Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements. What people say or do has nothing to do with you. Once you realize this, you can move through life with amazing emotional freedom, which will yield great success in your life.

When we are in the midst of a current situation or set of circumstance, especially if they are difficult or painful, it may not make sense. We often wonder why this is happening to us right now. It may seem completely random. However, as we shift our perspective from the present moment to see the larger picture of our lives, we often see how the situations and circumstances of our past actually fit together perfectly to bring us to where we are now. I had a fun and insightful conversation about this topic with David Ralph, host of the popular "Join Up Dots" podcast.

If you are not learning, you are not growing; if you are not growing, you are dying. It's that simple. Successful people are committed to the principle of life-long learning. There is always something I can learn that will add value to my life, teach me a new skill, teach me a new perspective on life, and teach me to be a better human.

Perhaps the most important success principle that I have learned and applied to my life is the formula E+R=O. I actually learned this principle from Jack Canfield in his book, The Success Principles. Most people, myself included, live with an E=O mindset, which means the events (the things that happen to us) determine our outcomes. If we are happy, it is because good things are happening. If we are sad, angry, lonely, or broke, it is because of events that have caused us to feel that way. This simply isn't true. The truth is it is how we respond to those events that determine our outcomes--how we feel or what quality of life we live. My good friend, Kent Julian, and I had a wonderful conversation about this very topic. Listen to our lively conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

Polonius told his son, Laertes: "This above all: to thine ownself be true." By this, he was telling his son that the most important virtue is that of integrity. A recent study of self-made multi-millionaires shows their #1 character trait is integrity. Being true to yourself, being the same core person with the same core values in all settings is a success principle you should endeavor to live by. It is so much more than being honest. Having integrity means being whole.  Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

Cicero wrote: "Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, it is the parent of all others." Napoleon Hill suggested everyone "start each day with an expression of gratitude." If you are speaking with someone how has been successful in life, you will probably hear them say that gratitude is one of their core values and habits that has contributed greatly to their success. For me, gratitude has been the catalyst for my personal transformation and the main reason I discovered and embraced all of the other success principles by which I live. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

You are going to have to believe this to be true: a foundational success principle is faith! In order to accomplish just about anything, you must exercise a certain amount of faith--a belief that something is true regardless of whether or not you can see it, feel it, or logically explain it. Successful people consistently have faith that what they want will come true, what they need will be supplied, and the people who need to be involved will show up at the right time with the right resources. The more faith we have, the more action we can take to accomplish our goals.  Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

"Purpose" is the reason, the "why" we want to have, be, or do something. A goal without a strong purpose is a goal we will probably not spend much energy trying to achieve. In this episode, I want to look at "purpose" from another perspective. Many of us have experienced painful, tragic events in our lives. We often struggle with trying to understand the reason it happened--its purpose. Perhaps the greatest ability we have, as human beings, is the ability to think any thought we want to think at any moment in time. Along with that ability comes the gift of being able to decide for ourselves what the purpose of something--or our lives in general--is. I want to help you "restory" your past to assign a more useful purpose to the painful events of life. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

So, that thing you just did, did you do it on purpose? I hope so. One of the things successful people consistently do is this: they have a purpose for everything they do! The word "purpose" means: "the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists." Many people are simply going through the motions of life or are simply reacting to situations and other influences without much forethought as to the reason for doing what they do or thinking what they think. You should have a clear purpose, a "why," for all of your goals, all of your activities, and all of your decisions. It's one thing to know what you want. It's another thing to know why you want it, what you will do with it, how it will enhance your life and the lives of others. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

Success leaves clues. Studies of the most successful people reveal that they all live and operate according to certain principles. This episode is the first in a series in which I'll talk about these success principles. The first is a combination of two: vision and desire. Successful people have a clear vision of what it is they want to achieve. They see as if it was already real and talk about it like it was the past. Combined with clarity of vision is a very strong desire to create what they see; a strong desire to have, be, or experience the thing they envision. It's one thing want something, and another to see it clearly. Together, however, they create a powerful formula for success!

There's a lot of talk, these days, about leadership. Leaders need to have a clear vision for where the company is going; leaders need to motivate others and create a culture where people can grow and do their best work; and so on...  All of these are true, of course. However, what is often overlooked and undervalued, is that leaders must start with themselves. You cannot effectively lead others if you are not, first and foremost, leading yourself. What are you doing to lead yourself? Do you have a vision for your own life outside of work? Do you lead yourself to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually? Your #1 priority must be you!

Perzan Irani knows how difficult antidepressant withdrawal can be. When he lost his job, in 2008, he started to feel anxious. As the weeks went by, his symptoms got worse, so his doctor put him on an antidepressant. Paxil (paroxetine) is an antidepressant that belongs to group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Paroxetine affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with depression, anxiety, or other disorders. Paxil is used to treat depression, including major depressive disorder. Read the full article here: my-antidepressant-info The medication helped and he found a new career. Now that his life was stable, he thought he could stop taking his medication. The process of tapering off antidepressants, however, proved to be much more difficult than he ever imagined. He discovered he was not alone in this painful journey.

I've recently been asked by several friends, members of my community, and listeners if I have any advice on the job search process, how to look for work, and shifting from an employee to an entrepreneur. My answer is, of course, YES, I have some very important advice on the topic. The core of the matter is the shift in mindset from employee to entrepreneur. The most important professional mindset you can adopt is that of being self-employed regardless of who signs your paycheck. You are self-employed and always represent your own company. When looking for work, you are not looking for a job or a new employer; you are looking for a customer! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: This episode is sponsored by: Please support our sponsor by visiting their site and learning more about them!

At some point in our lives, we all want to be rock stars, and we all want to be drummers. Mark Schulman is both of those, plus a whole lot more! Mark is not only the drummer for P!nk and Cher, but has worked with an all-star cast of musicians in his life. However, it's not just about rock and roll, music, and fame for Mark. His passion for life goes much deeper and wider than stadiums. Mark has a deep desire to help people be all they are capable of being by helping them break through their fears and teaching them how to live as top performers. We talked about his book, Conquering Life’s Stage Fright. Mark took time out of his busy rehearsal schedule to give you a gift! Listen to our fun, informative conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

I brought my good friend, Chris LoCurto, back on the show to talk about wine. That's right, wine! You see, there's a great similarity between how wine is made---how the grapes are grown, specifically---and how we should try to live our lives. Wine makers---at least the good ones---know that the farming and producing of great grapes is far more important than the actual process of turning grapes into wine. Now matter how good the process is, it must start with great grapes. The same is true for our lives!  Listen to our fun, informative conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

Each year, I like to set a theme for what I want to accomplish in the next year. My goals are usually under the umbrella of this theme. In recent years, however, I've started narrowing the theme down to a single word. My word (and theme) for 207 is "Harvest!" Most of my goals are based on the premise that I have been planting, building, nurturing, and cultivating the soil of my personal and professional life. Now it is time to harvest the fruits of my labor. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

The word "resolve" means: decide firmly on a course of action. Most people make New Year resolutions, set goals, and decide firmly on a course of action to keep the resolution or achieve the goal. However, almost everyone sets a goal to have or do something that is physical and outside of themselves. Most people set their focus on the wrong thing. Most people think they want money, health, or relationships, but that's not what they really want. What we really want is the feeling that having those things will produce. What we really want in any given moment is to feel good. Let's let feeling good be our goal. Let us resolve, every day, to feel good!

Today we are going to discuss an uncomfortable topic that very much needs to be talked about. We are going to talk about self-harm, cutting specifically. This topic was suggested to me by a 17-year-old girl who listens to the show and asked me to talk about it since this is an issue with which she struggles. First, I'm so thankful for her bravery to reach out to me and her willingness to answer some very specific questions I had about cutting and why she does it. My hope is that, by listening to this episode, you will find comfort if this is something you deal with, or it will bring a greater awareness to you so that you'll notice the signs that someone you love is struggling with this issue.

My dear friend, Leisa Peterson, and I had a phone call recently about the value of knowing our own value. Afterwards, we both wished we had recorded it, so we recreated the conversation for you. Knowing and owning your own value, personally and professionally, is the single most important thing you can do to take your life to higher levels of happiness and success. When you know your value, you will not let other people under-value you with disrespect or paying you too little. Knowing your value will bring much greater value to all of your relationships! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

I talk a lot, as do others, about the importance of having a clear vision for your life and/or business. Being able to see and talk about the future with great clarity and enthusiasm is essential for creating it and for getting other people to come along with you. Having and communicating vision is the primary function of leadership. But it's not just for businesses. It is also for your personal life. In this episode, I talk about some very practical things you can do, every day, to cultivate vision for your life and/or work. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

It's hard enough for adults to not follow the crowd and give in to peer pressure. Being yourself, regardless of what others think, takes courage. This is even more true for teens and young adults--especially young women. Katie Bulmer works with college students--sorority girls, to be specific--to encourage them to be brave and to live according to their core values, rather than settling for less! Katie lived the "wild life" as a college student, but found her own bravery and starting living her dream. Now she teaches young women to do the same. Listen to our fun, insightful conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

How is your vision? When was the last time you had it checked? I'm not talking about your eyesight; I'm talking about vision! Sight is what you can see or perceive physically around you in the present moment. Vision is what you see, feel, and believe, in your soul, about who you will be and how your life will be in the future. Your endurance--your ability to go through difficult situations now--is directly proportional to the clarity of your vision. People who give up when things get hard, or bounce from one thing to the next, do so because they lack vision. I want you to have a vision for your life that excites you and gives you a reason to get out of bed every morning. I want you to see your future with such clarity, it's as if it is happening now!

Professional coaches are not just for professional athletes, entertainers, or executives who are already at the top. They are for people who recognize and feel their ability to get to the top and know they can get there quicker if they get some help and guidance. I often have people tell me they could never afford a life or business coach because of the expense, yet they spend thousands of dollars each year on entertainment and junk food. It's a matter of priorities. I am where I am today because of the advice, guidance, and wisdom of coaches I have hired to help me bring out my fullest potential. I decided to have a conversation with one of my coaches, Bill Cortright, to talk about the value of hiring a coach. Listen to our conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

During the month of December, I want you to finish the year strong! If you're close to reaching a goal, do what you can to reach it. Put in a little extra work at the office or at the gym or on yourself. It feels great to reach our goals. However, another way to finish the year strong is, actually, to take some time for rest and self-reflection. At the gym, we don't build strength while exercising--we build strength by resting after the workout. If you've been going really hard, mentally and/or physically, maybe the best way for you to finish strong is by taking some time just for you, to rest, to do some self-reflection, to meditate, to refocus your priorities. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

If you can only do one thing to positively change your life, it should be this: feel and express gratitude! I believe gratitude is the most powerful force in the universe. Gratitude, however, is not just a good feeling that makes you a little happier. Gratitude is science, it is energy, and there is a "law of gratitude" that is operating at all times, whether you believe it or not. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

What are the things that make you happy, make you glad to be alive, that bring you joy? I'd love to hear about them. In fact, everyone around you would love to hear about them. Even when we are going through hard times, it is good to know there is still goodness, kindness, beauty, and love in the world. When you speak of your joy, it makes me feel good. When you speak of your joy, it makes you feel good. The more you speak of your joy, the more joy will come into your life for you to speak about. Joy loves to be publicly praised! So, will you do me a favor? Will you speak of your joy? Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show? Click here to Tweet a shoutout!

When like-minded people gather for the purpose of mutual encouragement and guidance, that combined energy and wisdom creates a Master-Mind that is stronger and wiser than our individual minds! Much of my own personal and professional success has been the result of surrounding myself with people who have the same desires for growth and positive influence on the world. Being open to the wisdom, insight, and advice of people I trust and admire has helped me make wiser decisions and take bolder action than I would have without this counsel. Joining a MasterMind group is one of the best investments you will ever make! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Love the show?

On November 8, 2016, I celebrated my 53rd birthday! Each year, since turning 50, I have celebrated my birthday as if I was releasing a new software upgrade. Bruce 5.2 was full of new features and benefits, but I'm not satisfied to stay there. I believe we should be constantly growing, learning, and expanding our experience of life--not just for ourselves, but for the betterment of all mankind. I have many new features and enhancements planned for this next year, along with the removal of unproductive features. I hope you will enjoy and find this way of thinking about your life helpful.
