Brad Stulberg experienced a severe mental health crisis in his early 30s, battling OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and suicidal ideation while outwardly succeeding as a performance coach. This disconnect between his external achievements and internal struggles pushed him to reevaluate how he defined success and excellence.

How to design meetings with purpose so they actually move work forward.Meetings are a necessary part of work. But for many people, they're also a major source of frustration. According to Rebecca Hinds, meetings don't have to feel like a drain—better meetings start when we stop treating them as a default and start designing them with intention.Hinds is the author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, and a future-of-work expert who founded the Work Innovation Lab at Asana and the Work AI Institute at Glean. She argues that the problem isn't meetings themselves, but the sheer number of poorly designed ones, and by being more thoughtful about what actually deserves synchronous time, teams can redesign how they communicate in the workplace “Meetings are the most important product in our entire organization, and yet they're also the least optimized,” she says. “The first step is recognizing we need to be much more intentional about how we're designing meetings.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hinds and host Matt Abrahams discuss why meetings so often go wrong—and what it takes to make them work. Whether you're leading a team, trying to protect focus time, or simply hoping to spend less of your week in calendar invites, Hinds offers practical frameworks for designing meetings with purpose so they become a tool people actually value.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Rebecca HindsRebecca's Book: Your Best Meeting EverEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings Ep.125 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 2: Key Ingredients for Effective Meetings Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:42) - Why Meetings Feel Broken (02:57) - The Default-To-Meeting Problem (03:50) - Treat Meetings Like A Product (05:10) - Meeting Doomsday Reset (06:40) - The 4-DCEO Test (08:43) - Designing Better Meetings (10:05) - Creating a Meeting Agenda (12:58) - Context And Meeting Fatigue (14:06) - Memo-First Meetings (16:11) - The Final Three Questions (21:02) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Strawberry.me.

As human beings, it's ever so easy to sit on the summit of high-judgement and self-righteousness on seeing another human being doing something we consider wrong. Yet, as we spend more time in meditation, reflection and awareness building, we often and generally realize we do the same thing. Fascinating, yes?Maybe it looks slightly different than the thing that we do yet the main idea here is that we too are regularly guilty of the very acts we get so troubled by. When someone else does it.By practicing the practice of seeing someone displaying one of the flaws that make us human and praying for the power to forgive them because they are “just like me”, we relax. We breathe. We ground.And then we reach the serenity that makes our days so much richer.I've created a powerful completely new online program called The Amazing Day Blueprint. It's a proven system to help you constantly make your days productive, healthy and happy in 2026. Here are the details.FOLLOW ROBIN SHARMA:InstagramFacebookXYouTube

Morning routines can become one more place we feel behind, especially when life shifts. In this episode, Michael and Megan talk with bestselling author Hal Elrod about The Miracle Morning After 50 (co-authored with aging expert Dwayne Clark). Along with the SAVERS basics (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing) they explore the “after 50” focus on healthspan, purpose, flexibility, and overlooked free practices.Hal also shares the common derailers and how to rebuild momentum with small steps that stick. Whether you're in midlife or building sustainable habits now, this conversation will help you craft a morning ritual that fits real life and grows with you.Memorable Quotes“The thing to remember is that what we affirm repeatedly becomes our reality, right? And so it's [helpful to affirm] what you're committed to, why it's important, and what you're gonna do to get there.”“And if you think about it, we are an extension of the earth… And so, for me, I try to live my life as closely in alignment with nature as I possibly can.”“My belief on purpose is that it's something we get to make up as we go along. We can have more than one purpose because I think people put a lot of pressure on purpose… You get to make it up. That's the best part about purpose. And you can try it on for a week, and you're like, ‘You know what? I wanna try a different purpose,' or ‘I wanna have two or three.' It's fluid, it's fun, it's joyful.”“If somebody took a peek at your schedule, does it really reflect what you say is most important in your life—whether that's health or family, or happiness, or whatever it is?”“You live, on average, about five years after you retire from purpose. But if you can keep the purpose going, it doesn't matter if you're retired or not retired, or working for a nonprofit or working for a for-profit. It doesn't matter as long as you're making a contribution.”“As we get older, the needs of our bodies, our minds, our hearts—those things shift. And if we're trying to just sort of do the same old thing that we've done that maybe worked for us 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, it doesn't always produce the same results.”Key TakeawaysMake Your Morning Ritual Doable. The goal isn't a perfect routine, but a sustainable one that adapts as life changes.Healthspan Matters. Living longer isn't the point if your quality of life declines. Daily practices can support both longevity and vitality.Start Small and Let It Build. Hal's challenge: wake up 10 minutes earlier and pick one practice to focus on. Then, expand gradually.Consistency Beats Intensity. Miss a day? Don't spiral. Hal's advice: “Never let one missed day turn into two.”Don't Over-Engineer It. Build a routine that works when the stars don't align, especially when travel, stress, or caregiving hits.Nature is a Free Advantage. Morning light, time outside, and grounding practices can offer real benefits without expensive biohacks.Purpose Protects Your Life. Especially after retirement or major transitions, meaning and contribution are essential for thriving.ResourcesThe Miracle Morning After 50 (Hal Elrod & Dwayne Clark)The Miracle Morning (Hal Elrod)miraclemorning.comhalelrod.comWatch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/o-T03QPI6CwThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

After 300 plus conversations, one pattern keeps rising to the surface. The work we avoid is often the work that frees us.This is not about doing less.It is about doing what actually matters.5 ALLSMITH lessons explored1.

Calm is control.Key quote: “Your body decides how high you're allowed to go before your mind ever gets a vote.”2. Discipline without meaning becomes self violenceGrinding without purpose slowly erodes the soul. Discipline should feel like devotion, not punishment.Key quote: “Discipline without meaning doesn't make you strong. It makes you numb.”3. Consistency beats intensity every timeIntensity makes noise. Consistency builds identity. The boring work is where trust is forged.Key quote: “Intensity impresses. Consistency transforms.”4.

Thanks to everyone who sent in condolences on my recent death from prostate cancer at age 68, but that was Scott Adams. I (Scott Alexander) am still alive1. Still, the condolences are appreciated. Scott Adams was a surprisingly big part of my life. I may be the only person to have read every Dilbert book before graduating elementary school. For some reason, 10-year-old-Scott found Adams' stories of time-wasting meetings and pointy-haired bosses hilarious. No doubt some of the attraction came from a more-than-passing resemblance between Dilbert's nameless corporation and the California public school system. We're all inmates in prisons with different names. But it would be insufficiently ambitious to stop there. Adams' comics were about the nerd experience. About being cleverer than everyone else, not just in the sense of being high IQ, but in the sense of being the only sane man in a crazy world where everyone else spends their days listening to overpaid consultants drone on about mission statements instead of doing anything useful. There's an arc in Dilbert where the boss disappears for a few weeks and the engineers get to manage their own time. Productivity shoots up. Morale soars. They invent warp drives and time machines. Then the boss returns, and they're back to being chronically behind schedule and over budget. This is the nerd outlook in a nutshell: if I ran the circus, there'd be some changes around here. Yet the other half of the nerd experience is: for some reason this never works. Dilbert and his brilliant co-workers are stuck watching from their cubicles while their idiot boss racks in bonuses and accolades. If humor, like religion, is an opiate of the masses, then Adams is masterfully unsubtle about what type of wound his art is trying to numb. This is the basic engine of Dilbert: everyone is rewarded in exact inverse proportion to their virtue. Dilbert and Alice are brilliant and hard-working, so they get crumbs. Wally is brilliant but lazy, so he at least enjoys a fool's paradise of endless coffee and donuts while his co-workers clean up his messes. The P.H.B. is neither smart nor industrious, so he is forever on top, reaping the rewards of everyone else's toil. Dogbert, an inveterate scammer with a passing resemblance to various trickster deities, makes out best of all. The repressed object at the bottom of the nerd subconscious, the thing too scary to view except through humor, is that you're smarter than everyone else, but for some reason it isn't working. Somehow all that stuff about small talk and sportsball and drinking makes them stronger than you. No equation can tell you why. Your best-laid plans turn to dust at a single glint of Chad's perfectly-white teeth. Lesser lights may distance themselves from their art, but Adams radiated contempt for such surrender. He lived his whole life as a series of Dilbert strips. Gather them into one of his signature compendia, and the title would be Dilbert Achieves Self Awareness And Realizes That If He's So Smart Then He Ought To Be Able To Become The Pointy-Haired Boss, Devotes His Whole Life To This Effort, Achieves About 50% Success, Ends Up In An Uncanny Valley Where He Has Neither The Virtues Of The Honest Engineer Nor Truly Those Of The Slick Consultant, Then Dies Of Cancer Right When His Character Arc Starts To Get Interesting. If your reaction is "I would absolutely buy that book", then keep reading, but expect some detours. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-dilbert-afterlife

A bad end is most likely though even in the best case scenario of AI increasing living standards. The build-up of asset inflation malinvestment and overleveraging will impose huge costs.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/not-so-new-dollar-strategy-monetize-productivity-advance

After a quiet data week and a loud political signal, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, dig into what a potential Fed leadership shakeup could mean for rates, markets, and investor expectations. With Kevin Warsh emerging as the likely next Fed chair, the discussion cuts past headlines to examine his long history at the Fed, his shifting stance on inflation and rate cuts, and why markets may be less willing to take his guidance at face value. It's been one of the most volatile stretches for metals in decades, as gold and silver experience sharp pullbacks after a historic run. Ryan and Sonu break down why positioning and sentiment mattered more than headlines, and along the way, they connect the dots between capital-intensive tech investment, the emerging commodity supercycle, and why earnings strength continues to underpin equities despite leadership rotation and policy noise.Key Takeaways:Fed leadership uncertainty adds friction, not clarity: Kevin Warsh's record reveals a pattern of convenient pivots that may limit his influence over a skeptical committee Rate cuts face structural resistance: Markets are pricing fewer long-term cuts as capital investment and nominal growth keep upward pressure on rates Metals volatility was about positioning, not fundamentals: Extreme bullish sentiment set the stage for sharp pullbacks despite intact long-term trends Gold and silver require sizing, not timing: Volatility, correlations, and rebalancing matter more than chasing short-term price moves Earnings continue to justify the bull market: Strong margins, industrial strength, and resilient consumer spending support risk assets even as leadership rotatesJump to:0:00 - Setting The Stage: No Jobs Data1:06 - Who Is Kevin Warsh4:30 - Warsh's Crisis-Era Record9:10 - Politics, Hawks, And Rate-Cut Reality14:20 - Balance Sheet Beliefs Challenged19:45 - Gold And Silver's Wild Swing25:40 - How To Own Metals Wisely31:10 - From Software To Capex Supercycle36:50 - Productivity, Labor, And Rates41:30 - Fun Signals: Super Bowl And January46:05 - Earnings, Margins, And MomentumConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Birthday parties don't have to be expensive, elaborate, or exhausting. In this episode of the Simply Convivial podcast, I talk with Convivial Circle mentor member Elaine about how her family shifted from “big, perfect milestone parties” to simple, repeatable, at-home celebrations that actually build connection.FREE Hospitality Workshop - simplyconvivial.com/hospitalityInstead of Pinterest-worthy events, Elaine learned something better: hospitality is a skill you practice.We talk about:Why elaborate parties burn moms outHow lowering expectations made hosting easierKeeping a simple “party bin” for zero-decision decoratingHosting at home instead of paying for venuesLetting kids help (and eventually run the party themselves)Why practice makes hospitality easier over timeHow birthdays create natural opportunities for friendship and communityLearning to stop worrying what other people thinkThe goal isn't perfection.

You're exhausted from managing your house. The clutter feels endless. You've tried the methods, bought the bins, pulled everything out of your closet, and asked if things spark joy. Nothing sticks. A few weeks later, you're right back where you started, wondering what's wrong with you.Katy Wells spent years in that same cycle until she realized something crucial.

We dig into why some rooms feel impossible to declutter while others are easy, what "good enough" really means when you have kids making messes, and how to stop tying your self-worth to the pile on your counter.

Not extreme unplugging, but intentional, sustainable practices that restore focus, protect mental health, and strengthen relationships in a technology-driven world.This conversation examines digital overload, burnout, AI, communication decline, presence, and intentional living, offering practical insight for professionals who want technology to support life rather than quietly control it.

In this episode, I sit down with Amy Purdy to talk about how she went from losing her legs at 19 and losing hope, to becoming a Paralympic medalist, bestselling author, and global speaker.Amy shares what actually helped her move from survival to purpose. Not motivational slogans, but the mindset shifts, habits, and mental tools that allowed her to rebuild her identity, regain belief in herself, and move forward when her old life was gone.We talk about how she turned her biggest obstacle into her biggest advantage, why acceptance is a turning point rather than a defeat, and how visualization helped retrain her brain to see possibility before there was evidence.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    One of my good friends who is also my racquet ball partner, my tattoo artist and also a non Christian… has a great theory about life and retirement…    German Nobel laureate Heinrich Böll titled Anekdote zur Senkung der Arbeitsmoral ("Anecdote concerning the Lowering of Productivity"). The Story in a Nutshell The Meeting: An American investment banker (or businessman) is at a pier in a small coastal village. A fisherman pulls up with a few large tuna. The banker compliments the fish and asks how long it took to catch them. The Simple Life: The fisherman says it only took a short while. When asked why he doesn't stay out longer, he says he has enough for his family's needs. He spends the rest of his day sleeping late, playing with his kids, taking naps with his wife, and strolling into the village to play guitar with his friends. The "Advice": The banker scoffs, "I have an MBA! I can help you." He outlines a 20-year plan: catch more fish, buy more boats, open a cannery, move to the city, and eventually take the company public to make millions.         Good GK agathos - you did what God intended for you (in a personal sense) No more no less. You fulfilled your duty of service.    It's often the "invisible" roles—the ones we walk past every day—that keep the world from fraying at the edges. These acts are small in the moment but have a massive cumulative effect on human dignity, safety, and well-being. Here are a few examples of people whose "small" jobs carry immense weight:   1. The Crossing Guard On the surface, they just hold a sign and blow a whistle. But in reality, they are the guardians of community safety. The Impact: They provide the literal "safe passage" for the next generation. Beyond traffic, they are often the first friendly face a child sees outside their home, offering a sense of security and neighborhood belonging. 2. The Night Shift Janitor (in a Hospital) While surgeons get the credit for saving lives, the person mopping the floors is the one preventing the next outbreak. The Impact: Their meticulousness is the front line against Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs). A missed spot isn't just "dirty"—it's a biological hazard. They provide the sterile foundation that makes modern medicine possible.   High Stakes, Low Visibility: You only notice them when they don't do their job. Repetitive Nature: The impact comes from the discipline of doing the small thing correctly every single time. The "Butterfly Effect": A clean floor prevents a fever; a tagged photo saves a legacy; a whistle prevents a tragedy.

Ever finish a 60-hour week and realize you didn't do a single thing to find better clients? In this episode, I break down why most tech consultants stay trapped in work that feels productive but actually keeps them stuck. I share the story of a client who was exhausted, in debt, and over-delivering on every project until we made two critical decisions together: the WHO (estate attorneys only) and the WHAT (productized service with clear scope). Six months later, he cleared his debt and doubled his profits. If you've been avoiding the hard decisions by staying busy with comfortable work, this one will challenge you to finally make the call.Resources and LinksApply for a Multiplier CallPrevious episode: 662 - How to Build an AI Strategy That Actually Works with Christine DuqueCheck out more episodes of the Paul Higgins PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube channel: @PaulHigginsMentoringJoin our newsletterSuggested resources
