Paul Angone and I talk about living purposefully in a busy chaotic world that's clamoring for our attention.   Quotables from the episode: In today's world of endless hurry and distraction, we have difficulty focusing on what's important, and spend most of our days seeing and hearing without truly paying attention.  Our lives are full of meaning—yet we miss the giant revelations, ideas, and truths right in front of us because we weren't actually looking for them. We must fight to pay attention period to the right things period to things of worth and meaning period to changing the way we see our day so that we can truly see it for the gift it is. To intentionally pay attention: turn off notifications, push past the boredom and awkwardness, set limits and be disciplined, ask yourself WHY you are giving your attention to whatever is distracting you. All love starts with paying proper attention to someone. Networking is really relationship-ing—building relationship with others. Attention is a currency that we pay to others.   Recommended Resources:  Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention by Paul Angone 101 Secrets for Your 20's by Paul Angone 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties by Paul Angone  25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing by Paul Angone  Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day YouVersion 7-Day Devotional, Today is Going to be Another Good Day Breaking Anxiety's Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety's Grip Free Study Guide Free 7-Day YouVersion Bible Reading Plan for Breaking Anxiety's Grip Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor's Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the Christian Literary Award Reader's Choice Award Trusting God Through Cancer 1 Trusting God Through Cancer 2 Revive & Thrive Women's Conference Subdue Stress and Anxiety: Fifteen Experts Offer Comprehensive Tools in Ten Minutes a Day.

It's easy to miss something you're not looking for. Psychologists call this inattentional blindness: the failure to notice something right in front of you because other attention-demanding tasks are at hand. This week, my guest is Paul Angone, author of Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention. Paul argues that inattentional blindness sums up the day-to-day of most of our lives. We're missing important things, including revelations, ideas, and truths, that are walking right in front of us because we aren't actually looking for them.   Guest Bio Paul Angone is one of the most trusted and sought-after voices in the nation to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change.

I'm turning 30 next month and I've been unsure how I've felt about that. I've had countless conversations with guests that shared with me how silly it was to think they needed to “make something of themselves” by 30. Yet here I am, wondering if I've done enough to really make my 20-year-old self proud how I've spent the last decade.That 20-year-old Justin had high expectations about where he was going to be at 30. I've learned over the last decade that you can set your sights on something but life has a whole lot of serendipity. And I don't know, that's kind of the fun of it right? I mean, at 20, I would have never predicted podcasting would be such a significant aspect of my life.So here's to me for letting go of any expectations, being proud of everything I have accomplished, and excited for what's to come in this new decade.I'm done with my poetic monologue but it does set up my conversation with my friend, Paul Angone.Paul spent most of his 20s thinking he was a failure. Working at dead-end jobs to support his real dream of becoming a best-selling author, Paul grinded and hustled any moment he had - lunch breaks, late evenings, weekends - with the hope of creating something that sparked a fire.Sure enough, it eventually happened (although much longer than expected) and Paul has gone on to author best-selling books including 101 Secrets for Your Twenties, 101 Questions You Need to Ask in Your Twenties, and 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing. His newest book, Listen to Your Day: The Life Changing Practice of Paying Attention, is out today and I recommend picking it up.Paul has spent so much time researching and understanding the unique struggles of being in your 20s. We get into a whole lot of conversation about these struggles including finding your purpose, feeling like a failure, and when to make sacrifices vs when to move on. You're really going to like this one.100 reviews before our 100th episode (consider it an early birthday present). If you're a listener of the show and haven't left us a rating and review, we'd really appreciate it if you did. And if you're new, welcome, sit back, relax, and let's learn something new.I hope you enjoy my conversation with…”20-something failure” turned 5-time author…Paul Angone.

Are you feeling trapped by the infinite scroll of distractions? According to today's returning guest, Paul Angone, we have all become cultural escape artists, what he dubs the “Refresh Generation.” Paul writes, “We are constantly getting a hit from our phone for the latest update. The iPhone is our cigarette, and too many of us are chain-smoking our phones." It's time to get off the dizzying carousel of phone addiction, and relearn how to listen to ourselves and our day for aha moments instead. Paul believes that “the most successful and fulfilled people on this Earth are simply better at paying attention to what's important.” More About Paul: Paul Angone is one of the most trusted and sought-after voices in the nation to college students, young professionals, and those going through career change.

We're living at a time in which our capacity attention may be our most valuable asset. If this is true, than our great liability is distraction, and the ways in which we are training ourselves in distraction. Paying attention to the purpose of our lives, and to where God may be inviting us to give of our energy and time is a beautiful opportunity.The world around us is happy to provide us with lots of attractive options for surrendering our attention to mostly meaningless amusements. But God's purpose for you is gentler, quieter, less flashy and more substantial. God's Spirit would love to train you how to pay attention to his presence in your every moment. My guest today, Paul Angone, has written a book to help us with all this, Listen to Your Day. He wants to help us stop drifting, stop worrying, and stop living distracted.

Instead of being limited by those lies, learn how you can start putting them behind you and living out your calling with author Paul Angone. Paul has now written four books, each one dealing with the issues twenty and thirty somethings are constantly dealing with. His most recent book, 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing, dives into the specific topic of the lies we tell ourselves and how they’re holding us back.  He starts the book off with an extremely compelling story. One night he helped a man stop from committing suicide simply by telling him that he was wanted here. A sense and feeling of belonging is a powerful thing. When it’s taken away terrible things follow.  Listen as we chat about the lies and how you can overcome them. The most important thing to remember is that you have to keep taking small steps toward your goals. Stop saying that you can’t do things and realize that there are steps you can take every day that will get you closer to the big dream.  We’re also chatting about society’s need to step into the awkward rather than run from it. So often these days we hide behind our phones when we don’t want to deal with the reality in front of us. But you could be missing out on huge opportunities.   In This Episode:  [00:33] Welcome to the show Paul Angone.

What if our pursuit of happiness is all wrong?What if our pursuit of happiness is the exact thing that's keeping us most unhappy? Here's what I think is the truth: The more we pursue happiness, the less happy we're going to be.Is happiness a product we should pursue? Or is happiness a product of something else? Can we seek happiness unto itself? Or is happiness a natural byproduct when we're pursuing something else meaningful? When we pursue happiness unto itself we end up merely pursuing a distraction from our unhappiness. When we pursue being happy we usually come back feeling more miserable than before. Like going on that epic road trip to find happiness, only to return, and having more problems there waiting for you than when you started.  I do want you to be happy. So stop pursuing it. Instead, pursue these things instead.   Find a consistent spring of life rather than trying to drink from the dried-up creek of happiness. Read more about this in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing.

“I've missed my chance!” I've worked with too many twentysomethings who believe this lie. I also spent too many years believing this lie myself.In today's podcast, I jam-pack it with inspirational stories and lessons on why you haven't missed your chance in life. One story I tell is of a twentysomething heavy metal rocker whose first album flopped. He was so discouraged that he'd lost his “one chance” at success that he tried to commit suicide.Thankfully he was unsuccessful in his attempt and moved to LA to start playing piano in dive bars as what felt like a failure in complete exile.There as he played through all the emotions and struggle, he would write his first hit song. This “failed heavy metal rocker” would then go on to be one of the most successful musicians in the United States and has sold more albums than Michael Jackson or Madonna! Know who this musician is??Listen to this story and many more in this hope-filled episode. You haven't missed your chance! Your future is waiting there in front of you, with arms wide open.  Read more about ALL THIS in my new book "25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing"

If I'm being honest, this is a constant battle for me. Stephen Pressfield in his book The War of Art called it "Resistance". I call it "The Liar". The moment you start moving forward. The moment you start taking that chance. The moment you put yourself out there, the Liar is going to try and stop you. The Liar is going to try and convince you that you don't have what it takes. I know from experience! As I move towards seeing my new book release where I'm going after the 25 Lies holding us back, I'm still battling the Liar's voice that's trying to keep me stuck in fear and insecurity. What is the Liar and how do we stop it? That's what I'm discussing in today's new podcast episode. Plus, the power and practice of listening to the Truth-Teller instead.   As I write in 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing: "The Liar doesn't want you to do important work. That's when its voice gets the strongest. Why? Because the Liar doesn't want you to risk. The Liar is that “friend” who's always telling you “That won't work,” trying to project their own fear on you like you're a drive-in movie theater screen.Well, if we're going to tackle lies, if we're going to set ourselves up to succeed, build, and create, we first have to tackle the Liar. Because the Liar's one goal is to make you believe that you don't have what it takes."How many amazing dreams were "never was" because the Liar took that person out before they could really even start.If we're going to stop believing the lies, we have to stop listening to the Liar. Let's listen to the life and hope the Truth-Teller is trying to tell us instead. Read more about how to build the habit and practice of listening to the Truth-Teller rather than the Liar in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing

There's a joy and beauty in happy little accidents. At least that's what Bob Ross taught us. Do you know Bob Ross? The Joy of Painting, huge afro star, who produced a whopping 31 seasons of his famous art instruction show on PBS. Bob would calmly sit on a stool and paint a landscape for an hour, yet completely entrance the viewer with his soothing voice and wisdom about the importance of happy little accidents and how “even a tree needs a friend.” But how did Bob Ross and his infamous afro become one of the least likely household names? In this episode, I share some powerful principles from Bob Ross's life as I discovered his secrets to success. Plus, I reveal the happy little accident that led to Bob's signature afro look, and the secret behind how he painted so many paintings. The main secret – magicians are actually the least magical people in the room. I explain more what I mean here in this episode. If you're working in the details. If you're persevering. If you're striving for something bigger and better, then this episode is for you. Success in your twenties is a lot like a Bob Ross painting. You start with a blank canvas. It feels like everyone is watching. You create by putting one layer on top of another. And along the way there will be many “happy little accidents” or crappy little failures, depending on what you do with them. Listen here about the secrets of Bob Ross's success here and how we can learn from his life. If you want to read about this more in-depth, I write more about Bob Ross and his secrets of success in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing, which you can check out here: https://bit.ly/25-Lies

“Every culture must negotiate with technology, whether it does so intelligently or not. A bargain is struck in which technology giveth and technology taketh away.” - Neil Postman Obsessive Connection Disorder is a real, real problem. We're addicted to our phones as we are notified, headlined, and distracted to death. This need to constantly be connected, which in turn, leaves us incredibly disconnected.Too many of us are struggling with what I define as Obsessive Connection Disorder. And the ramifications of what it's doing to our lives is serious and dramatic.  In this episode, I discuss the problem of Obsessive Connection Disorder and what we can do about it. Our escape into our phone does not decrease our loneliness – it heightens it. We are all escaping into a disconnecting connection.We need to be mindful of the ways that we're using technology mindlessly. As Sherry Turkle aptly writes in Reclaiming Conversations “We are forever elsewhere.”  In this episode, we will find a way out of the jungle of Obsessive Connection Disorder. Also you can read about it in full in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing

Have you ever felt this way? Like you're the least likely to succeed. I know I have. When you're scrolling through everyone's amazingly sexy and successful lives on social media and you're wondering why you can't even get the energy to do your laundry. Not to mention actually fold the laundry sometime within the first week it comes out of the dryer.  In this episode, I tell an AMAZING STORY of two hopeful twentysomething actors who were co-voted least likely to succeed from their acting classmates. Hear what steps these two unlikely candidates took next to make their dreams happen. And how they both ended up proving everyone wrong as they became two of the most prolific actors in American history. If success has felt elusive to you, listen to this episode and be encouraged.  Also you can read more about this amazing story in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing: https://bit.ly/25-Lies

“All you need is love” is a lie. This first episode might be a little controversial because I think saying “I love you” should not be the peak of relationship seriousness. Because for one, it's really easy to say I love you to someone you don't really know. I think we've gotten love all wrong and it's messing up our expectations of what it means to have a healthy relationship. We talk about falling in love like we're powerless against it. Love has taken control and we're plummeting face first right into it. And whether we fall into a “Hallmark Movie Love” where the high-powered city businesswoman meets up with the small town farmer and they work together to keep Pine City from getting redeveloped. Or a “Shakespearean Love” where there's going to be a bunch of tragedy waiting for you at the end, we talk about it like it's out of our control. Because I'm in love.  If all we need is love, why are so many people who are in love and getting married, falling out of love and getting divorced? Listen to the episode and hear why I think some other statements and parts of a relationship are WAY MORE IMPORTANT than saying I love you. If you want to read more about the lies of love, I write about it all in my new book 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing, which you can find here: https://bit.ly/25-Lies
