Today, I am interviewing my friend, Jonathan Fields. Jonathan has been an incredible source of inspiration and support over the years along with his wife Stephanie. I'm really excited to be sharing his latest book with you "Sparked". We're talking about the journey of how that book came together, what he has learned about himself through the assessment, and also what I've learned as a sage/maker with an anti-spark type of nurture. So you have to dig into the conversation and hear about what we both learned about ourselves and how it can make us better leaders, better team members, better partners. I am just loving this conversation and I hope you do too.    Jonathan shares his insights:   Yeah you know, so there are a couple of seeds along the way, and I've been thinking about this a lot like when did this because the book is based on an entire body of work, which is really asking the question - 'How do I find and do work that is deeply meaningful to me that fills me with purpose that gives me access to flow that lets me feel fully expressed?' And, I've been obsessed with that question for pretty much my entire adult life. But when I was tracking it back, I think I really the really early seeds of this particular question we're probably planted for me around 911 now you know until very recently, I was a lifelong New Yorker. Was there in the city during 911; knew somebody who went to work and didn't come home that day who was very successful it didn't change anything. And you know, of course, thousands of people didn't come home that day and being in the city, you know sort of witnessing what happened all around me. And I, the day before and you know, this story I had actually signed a six-year lease for a Florida building to open what I hoped would become one of the premier yoga centers in New York City and I woke up the next day to 911 so I had a lot of questions spinning my head one was you know - 'Who did I know you know who wasn't with us anymore and the other big question was 'Am I really gone to say yes to launching a business?' into what was then just a sea of profound suffering and uncertainty, just dramatic uncertainty. And there are a lot of interesting parallels to the last couple of years in odd ways. And through, really thinking about what happened to the people that I knew that didn't come home that day and the decisions, I wanted to make I really decided that it was important for me to say yes to doing something that I knew would fill me up and also potentially really be of service to a broader community.   We only have one pass-through like and we have no promises made to us and you know, to the extent that we have control over the way that we get to spend our days.    I wanted to figure out like how do I make decisions, what do I say yes and no to that will make me feel most alive, that would be most meaningful in like my time that I have here. And that seed is just kind of brewed and showing up in a lot of different ways that literally fueled allowed at the yoga that I taught for seven years. It then feels the launch of businesses and books and brands and Good Life project, which is actually celebrating its 10th year anniversary this year which kind of blows me away. Was you know definitely an outgrowth of that too and it's really been in the last five years or so that I've started to devote a lot more energy to the narrower question of identifying work that fills us up that you know, makes us come alive and can I figure out how to build tools that would really help people in that quest because there's a lot of great work out there, but there were specific questions that it wasn't seeing answered. And I want to go deep into those questions so it's been kind of an evolutionary process with a couple of particular moments that have dotted it along the way, that really sort of you know, like shifted my course a little bit.   That we didn't know and we had language to explain so much of why certain things came more easily to me and why certain things were really hard to me and it created both like a deeper conversation and connection and also in certain circumstances forgiveness. And so it's really been interesting to see how the body of work has sparked conversations that have nothing to do with the world of work. But really are just about like between people and how they show up in the world and helping people understand each other. And then, work together more effectively, even if it has nothing to do with their jobs if it's just the way that you run your household the way that you parent, the way that you like show the volunteering around the neighborhood it's just it's really interesting to see you know you create something that in your head has one purpose and one intention and then you let it go to into the world, and you really have no at that point it's like people will start to tap it to do all sorts of different things, and so it's been amazing to hear all the different ways that people are sure like applying the broader body of work, like the book itself sure, but also just the body of work in the tools.   Jonathan Fields—the Good Life Guy—delivers insights that spark purpose, possibility, and potential.   On a decades-long quest to discover what makes people come fully alive, Jonathan is an award-winning author, Webby-nominated producer, business innovator, and host of one of the world's top podcasts, Good Life Project.

You can always learn something – whether big or small – from the people that you meet. Jonathan's Yoga History Before venturing into writing and podcasts, Jonathan wanted to open a yoga center in New York. Then, the 9/11 incident occurred, spurring him on to continue the center. Jonathan believed people needed a place for healing and community. Jonathan taught yoga for seven years before moving into his current work. Human Relationships and Going Analog The pandemic pushed most of our social interactions into the digital space. Jonathan recently prefers going analog when it comes to relationships since we have lost that physical aspect of socializing. Physical objects, like letters, transmit a level of intentionality and love that can emotionally connect us. Writing “Sparked” During the Pandemic Jonathan already had the idea of the book in his head even before the pandemic started. The book is about seeing and understanding yourself clearly, as well as having hope and possibility. As the pandemic progressed, the intention of the book began to change. Jonathan wishes that his book helps other people meaningfully reflect on themselves during this pandemic. The Writing Process The core of the book is about "sparketypes" — a tool for you to understand what work makes you feel excited and alive. Jonathan identifies himself as a “maker” — a person that focuses on manifesting ideas. During the pandemic, he had the chance to delve deep into this “creation mode” and just do his own thing. Doing things that satisfy your innate impulses can help you feel more grounded despite the anxiety and unease this global crisis brings. Jonathan hopes to delve deeper into how to access this feeling of equanimity. How to Find Life's Purpose with the Sparketypes? As a maker, Jonathan wanted to do more than just replicate other bodies of work. He would not have continued working on the sparketypes if this were the case. This project started with many people asking him how to find life's purpose and feel more alive. Jonathan posits that there are a set of mappable impulses for work. These impulses have a set of common tendencies or archetypes, which he calls sparketypes. He wanted to validate this idea, so he built an assessment tool that over half a million people have completed. Many individuals have found this tool valuable in answering how to find life's purpose. How Jonathan Continues to Practice Yoga Even if he is no longer teaching yoga per se, he still considers his work on exploring the human condition and finding ways to reduce suffering as a part of his practice. To All Who Have Lost Their Light An experience like the pandemic can change you forever, and there is no going back to the person you were before. Allow yourself to feel a painful moment thoroughly rather than forcing yourself to get out of this space. It's okay to be sad. Many people have felt a sense of isolation; know that you are not alone.  Give yourself permission to feel vulnerable and allow others to share the experience with you. Your feelings and experiences are valid. Acknowledge the truth in them and how they have affected you.  How to Find Life's Purpose in the Pandemic Inequity is more palpable now than ever since plenty of people have lost their jobs because of COVID-19. Not everyone is adequately equipped with resources to live a comfortable life in this pandemic.  Look into what is accessible and available to you and find ways to work with it. Reflect on what you truly value and think of how you can achieve it.  Life is fleeting, so do things not only for security but also for their meaning. Keeping the Spark Burning Search for activities, tools, and processes that you regularly use, then investigate how they can make your work more meaningful. There will always be ways that enable you to express your sparketype in the work you do. Once you do, you will feel much more fulfilled. We can't ignore and address hard truths. However, we need to create a healthy boundary in what we let in. How Jonathan Feels Radically Loved Jonathan feels radically loved in every possible way – by his family, friends, and everyone around him. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [12:20] “When you actually can allocate more of your energy to doing the work that aligns with this innate impulse, it gives you this sense of grounding.” [23:11] “Give yourself permission to be vulnerable and open to inviting other people into your life who you trust and who, you know, were there to support you.” [23:31] “The starting point, is to own the truth of this experience, to own the truth of how you're feeling, to know that it's actually okay to feel those things, and to allow people into the experience with you to help.” [27:57] “Life is tender, and sometimes short and fleeting.” [39:20] "We are addicted to the noise of everything falling apart...You can acknowledge those but at the same time, create both healthy boundaries in what you let in and what you don't let in.” About Jonathan Jonathan Fields is an award-winning author, Webby-nominated producer, and business innovator.

Hello and welcome to Episode Twenty Four of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The Spanish Language Book Review begins at 12:36 and ends 16:14 at The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Twenty Four is The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. If you like The Obstacle is the Way you should also check out: The Art of Living by Epictetus, Slow: Simple Living For a Frantic World by Brooke McAlary, and Uncertainty: Turning Fear & Doubt Into Fuel For Brilliance by Jonathan Fields. My personal favorite Goodreads list The Obstacle is the Way is on is A List of Every Self Help Book Ever. Today’s Library Tidbit is all about Spherification! Spherification is a molecular gastronomy process that uses alginic acid and calcium lactate to shape liquids into squishy but solid spheres. Sort of the texture of boba pearls. Alginic acid or sodium alginate is a substance that is derived from brown seaweed. Calcium lactate is a type of salt. The reaction of these two chemicals forms a tough, but tasteless, gel membrane around a liquid. This works because when the sodium alginate is combined with calcium lactate the calcium lactate cause the long-chain carbohydrates in sodium alginate to connect to each other. Without the calcium lactate the sodium alginate only wants to bond with a single other sodium alginate, with the calcium lactate instead of bonding end over end and creating long-chains only, the sodium alginate also sticks to each other “sideways” so to speak and forms a 3D matrix. This is a very simplified way of describing the chemical reaction that happens. Before any reaction can happen the sodium alginate needs to be dissolved completely into liquid with zero lumps and hydrated in that liquid. This sounds simple but there are a few pick falls that can happen. If the liquid is too warm when the sodium alginate is added to it it’s natural thicken properties will be activated and it won’t disperse properly. Therefore, it is always recommended to use cold liquids when dissolving the sodium alginate. You also want to leave the solution to sit for a few minutes to allow all the molecules to become fully hydrated. In addition to being cold, you also want to make sure the liquid you are trying to spherify is above a pH of 3.6. You can check the pH by using cheap litmus paper if you think there might be a problem. If needed to can raise the pH by adding an alkaline ingredient, just remember to pick one that doesn’t change the overall flavor of the liquid. You also want to be careful about having too much calcium in either the liquid you are spherifying or in the water bath. Too much calcium will cause the sodium alginate to gel prematurely. However, in today’s experiment we will be creating edible water bottles so neither of these things should be a problem. If you decide to create bubbles out of different liquid remember to store them in the liquid you filled them in. The shell is solid enough to keep the liquid from leaking out in your hand for a while, but it is permeable to liquids. So if you stored flavored spheres in plain water the water would eventually dilute the flavor of the spheres. The recipe we are going to go over today is basic spherification. The other way to create these balls is called reverse spherification. This is used whenever you are making spheres with alcohol or milk or yogurt. With reverse spherification you place the liquid into the sodium alginate solution instead of the reverse. To create an edible water bottle you will need 1 gram of sodium alginate, 5 grams of food-grade calcium lactate, 1 cup of drinking water, a bowl with 4 cups of water, and another bowl filled with water to rinse the water bottles in after they form. You will also need a blender,

Each Father’s Day, I interview one or two men for a change for the Mother’s Quest Podcast. So, I recently asked on Facebook which father, in their wildest dreams, my community members would most like to hear from. Jonathan’s name came up again and again… alongside Dax Shepard and Obama! Jonathan is dad, husband, award-winning author, and the executive-producer/host of the top-ranked Good Life Project® podcast, hailed by The Wall Street Journal as one of the top self-development podcasts and featured recently by Apple on-stage during its legendary annual event. The podcast is beloved by listeners world-wide, including myself, who appreciate the intimacy and depth of his interviews, with inspiring guests that in recent weeks alone have included Elizabeth Gilbert, Stedman Graham and Abby Wambach. An innovator in the field of human potential, Jonathan is also the chief architect behind the world’s first “purpose archetypes”–what he calls the Sparketypes™–tapped by tens-of-thousands of individuals, companies and institutions, along with some Mother’s Quest members, seeking to amplify purpose, expression, performance, and flow. In this conversation, Jonathan and I went to all the deep, reflective places across each E.P.I.C. guidepost, talking about everything from our Sparktypes to the influence of his mother, a “maker” like himself, how he really feels about the hero’s journey and living a good life, lessons we’ve learned about letting go of expectations with our children, and how to be creators but not to be defined by the things we create. I’m so excited to bring you this conversation and Jonathan’s beautiful, powerful challenge for all of us, which he shares at the end. The whole interview, for me, felt like one amazing “epic snapshot moment” with a generous guide on a similar quest for meaning and connection. I hope you receive as much as I did.

Year Anyone else feel like they need a spring reset to their year?  A few months ago, we declared February the new January and facilitated a Mother’s Quest Workshop/Virtual Milestone Hike experience to help us all start again. Using photos from my favorite local hike, I took a small group on a virtual journey to: Reflect on our last chapter (as we ascend)  Decide what we want to release (using an image of a big bad bonfire!) and what we want to carry forward Then, set intentions along the E.P.I.C. guideposts for our new chapter.  There’s a special planning sheet we created to guide you and help you document the whole process.  Truthfully, we can start fresh any time we choose. If you decide you want to reset and begin again, today, this afternoon or this weekend, using this experience and worksheet to support you. Just sign up here. Spark Your E.P.I.C.

“The only road to success is just sustained action over a longer window of time.”Jonathan FieldsSome people exude a calm, confident quietude. Others exuberantly burst with exciting ideas. But it's the rare individual that combines understated self-assurance with a spark so powerful, it incites lasting positive change in all who enter his orbit.Jonathan Fields is one such human.His mission? To humanize and empower the process of creation. To help people and organizations conceive and build better, more conscious businesses, art, and lives in less time, with more joy and less effort.On a personal level, Jonathan is guy I can deeply relate to – a dad and husband who (like me) decided to leave the gilded, protective hallways of mega-law firm life and risk everything in search of a life path of greater meaning for himself and others.Reinventing himself as a socially conscious, serial entrepreneur and mindful innovation strategist, today Jonathan is an A-list blogger, award-winning author, speaker, and founder of Good Life Project –empowering people to live more engaged and connected lives via a global education and multi-media venture that encompasses video projects, his wildly popular podcast and super cool events like Camp GLP, his annual 3 1/2- day retreat that blends friendship, adventure and deep-learning with strategies and tools for accelerated personal and business growth.Beneath it all, Jonathan is a teacher.

Artist Ann Rea, talks about her experiences with anxiety/depression and how running and art are therapeutic. Go-to, real-food dietitian, Serena Marie, RD, and Kari discuss the scale—how to interpret the scale's reading, why to take body measurements to track your progress, and how to view and approach the scale healthfully. Kari also shares some of her experiences with being a former Weight Watchers facilitator and how to deal with the scale. Finally, Kari shares some information about San Francisco trail running. Featured Guest and Runner of the Week: Ann Rea Ann Rea first caught Kari's attention when she was featured in an interview by Alex Blumberg (from This American Life and Planet Money) during a podcast class. Ann shares how, why, and why she started running. She suffered from severe anxiety, depression, and insomnia for ten or fifteen years. She took the traditional route of seeing a therapist, anti-anxiety medication, anti-depressants, sleeping pills, and every time she would go to her appointments, she was told about new medications. She found she had no passion or interest in her occupations at the time (cubicle Hell). Her psychiatrist said that based on her medical history, she would probably always suffer. She asked for a protocol to wean herself off of her medications, but her doctor didn't agree. She tried to wean herself off, but that didn't go well (think Emergency Room). At the time in Sacramento, CA, no one suggested exercise to help with her anxiety and depression, but she started walking anyway, hoping that would help. One day as she was walking, she sprang into a run and started running. When she moved to San Francisco to be a full-time artist and to build her business, she knew that she'd have to manage her stress if she was going to achieve her goals. Ann started running even more consistently. If she had had a psychiatrist, such as Dr. John Ratey, things might have turned out differently. Ann talks about neurofeedback, and she's become familiar with Dr. George Pratt, who is a noted performance psychologist whose latest book is Code to Joy: The Four-Step Solution to Unlocking Your Natural State of Happiness. Kari says that medicine can be magical, but she also likes integrative medicine. Ann runs every Sunday morning with her friend Felix, who is a renowned psychic medium in San Francisco. Ann worked with disaster relief, and she had to find a way to balance the reality of having to react quickly and finish up cases per day. Listen to her “The Artist's American Life” interview with NPR's Alex Blumberg. She had the opportunity to see an amazing cross section of the United States and a real perspective of what disaster is. The good news is that everybody can recover. Physical things don't matter as much as your health. To get herself out the door and start walking at first, she made small promises to herself. For example, when she was working full-time and selling her art on the side, she was often tired, so she'd get herself up on Saturday morning, get ready for a run, and get out the door. If she didn't feel up to a run, she'd turn back around. Jim Rohn said, “We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with,” so Ann was very clear in “firing” certain friends and be her own best friend. The act of being your own best friend means that you don't tolerate certain behaviors, and you look for people who build you up, and you do the same for them. She improved her diet as well, and running became her meditation. Ann talks about running in the middle of the day. It helps her shift from the left brain to the right brain. She chats about the Making Art Making Money semester.She's also launching a new website called com and has ArtistsWhoThrive.com. Move things from the “dream” category to the “plan” category. She took some a course on how to write a business plan at a small business development center to start her own art business. She was always very interested in marketing. She talks about running in Golden Gate Park, along Land's End, and the Presidio of San Francisco. Her goal is to enjoy her runs, break a sweat, and clear the cobwebs in her head. She paints contemporary landscapes and works in oil and charcoal. Her subject is color and light, and she was mentored by Wayne Thiebaud. You don't need to be an artist to be inspired. Ann shares a story about several years ago when she was working as a project management consultant. Two of her co-workers had Stage 4 cancer, and she gained a new perspective on life. Fear is just an illusion that is not going away, so stare it down and run through it. She mentions a book called Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance by Jonathan Fields. Please find a doctor that you feel comfortable with and who is integrative if you're having any mental challenges. Every body is different, and we evolve. So at the end of the day, you're responsible for your happiness. Don't forget to join the TRLS e-mail list by going to therunninglifestyle.com/join today for special announcements! Serena Marie, RD Serena gets feisty about the scale this week and explains the science behind water weight associated with runners. When Kari was a Weight Watcher facilitator for seven years (2006–2012), she was trained to say, “If you're trying to lose weight, you should not get on the scale every day. If you're trying to maintain weight, then getting on the scale every day is OK.” Serena's take is that the National Weight Control Registry recommends to weigh frequently. This is good especially for someone who is tracking his or her weight to look at trends. This is a really important topic, because it drives Serena crazy as a dietitian, and it drives many of her clients crazy as well. She talks about why water weight is a real thing and explains the science behind it. There's an app called Happy Scale where you can track your weight daily, and it gives you an average so you can see the trends. Specifically for runners, they may be especially susceptible to the scale changing. When you run, it's an inflammatory process. We're creating oxidative stress in the body. The threshold of when that stress becomes overwhelming to the system will vary per person. We can train our bodies to adapt to high mileages, but there is going to be an immediate, acute, short-term effect of inflammation and stress to the body. When you run a marathon, you might find that you gain weight. A capillary leak happens, where you've caused stress to the body, and it makes your blood vessels leaky. When that happens, a protein responsible for keeping water in the right place leaks outside of the cells, which can cause water retention. During Serena's first marathon (as a senior in college), she gained weight. It's important to figure out what the right distance is for you and what makes your body feel good. Being injured, Kari now has a different perspective on how much she really wants to run and how much her body can take down the road. Serena is very interested in whether or not high-mileage running causes damage to the body. How do you measure and hold yourself accountable? Weight frequently, write down trends, take before/after pictures in the same lighting and clothing, and use a measuring tape to record progress—not by the number on the scale. Any negativity in the struggle to lose weight will knock you down. Gratitude Jar (Woot! Woot!) Serena is grateful for receiving e-mails from her clients when they tell her victories that they have had. One of her current male clients has a lot of weight to lose, and he's doing well with little changes in his life. Kari is grateful for a quote that has been her mantra for 2016: “Promise yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.” —Cristian D. Larson, an American New Thought leader Kari also likes the following: “Eyes on your own plate.” ~ Serena Marie, RD “You don't need to carb load for your desk job.” ~ Serena Marie, RD “When you point the finger at someone else, you have four fingers pointing back at you.” During the Gratitude Jar segment next week, Kari will read a listener's e-mail. Shout out and thank you to Bethany and Alexis for meeting Kari in Phoenix, AZ! Next week, Kari talks with Ashley Reaver, RD, a registered dietitian, who specifically works with endurance athletes at Inside Tracker. Serena Marie, RD, chats about blood sugar and a product that might be able to help diabetics. The Delaware Marathon Festival in Wilmington, DE, will be on Saturday, May 7 (5K and kids race) along with a TRLS dinner meetup (details to come). Reach out to Kari to let her know if you can meet up! On Sunday, May 8, the marathon, half marathon, and the relay races take place. Kari will be the relay race finish line announcer.
