What do you do when the thing you love—your art, your work, your creativity—starts feeling like a product? When the metrics of success get louder than the pulse of your own heart? In this episode, I sit down with Glen Phillips—lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket and a longtime Santa Barbara creative—for a conversation that meanders, deepens, and opens up space for something honest and healing. Glen shares how his music career took off at age 16, how he lost his way chasing the industry's definition of “enough,” and how he found his way back—through community song, spiritual practice, Tuesday night yoga class, and a kind of effort that doesn't grind, but flows.Suggested Next Episode:Episode 110: In This Moment You Are Enough with Ofosu Jones-QuarteyRelated ResourcesGet enhanced show notes for this episodePre-order my upcoming book, Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most, and receive special pre-order bonus gifts.Want to become more psychologically flexible?

How much of your life is cluttered with things that distract from your true priorities?Today Art speaks with professional organizer Angie Hyche. Angie reveals her five-year struggle with fear before finally pursuing her calling as a certified pro organizer. Her story begins in a theater prop room where she discovered her obsession with bringing order to chaos. Yet fear kept her in a safe school job until a bike trail conversation with her husband changed everything. "There are thousands of people less intelligent than you starting businesses," he said. That moment of courage launched not just a business, but a complete transformation of character.Angie's wisdom goes far beyond physical organizing. She courageously admits to avoiding God through busyness and mental clutter. "I can have a full schedule and be promoting my business, yet I'm not taking time to spend with God," she confesses. Her definition of clutter as "anything that distracts from priorities" revolutionizes how we view our stuff, schedules, and spiritual lives. What would change if you stopped avoiding the "horrible alone" and pushed past fear to discover what's calling you?Angie Hyche is an author, speaker, podcaster, and retired certified professional organizer (CPO®) who helps people overwhelmed with clutter in their homes, schedules, or minds. She spent 7+ years working in client homes, believing only by eliminating what doesn't matter can we prioritize what does. Her books include "Unholy Mess: What the Bible Says about Clutter" and "Uncluttered: Shaping Your Heart & Home for What Matters Most" with co-author Liana George. Living in East Tennessee with husband Eric, Angie's goal is helping people declutter their lives to focus on what's most important.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined.

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with award-winning teacher, researcher and best-selling author, Cassie Holmes.  Cassie Mogilner Holmes is a chaired professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, an award-winning teacher and researcher on time and happiness, and bestselling author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Cassie's research examines such questions as how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of one's lifetime, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment. In our conversation, we explore just this. And Cassie provides tools and insights to help us identify what matters to us so we can experience more joy in the everyday.   Find More From Cassie:  https://www.cassiemholmes.com/ Get the book - Happier Hour   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

Please subscribe now for as little as 5$ and gain access to a community of over 700 awesome, curious, kind, funny, brilliant, generous souls Check out StandUpwithPete.com to learn more RANDI WEINGARTEN is president of the 1.8 million-member AFT, which represents teachers; paraprofessionals and school-related personnel; higher education faculty and staff; nurses and other healthcare professionals; local, state and federal government employees; and early childhood educators. The AFT is dedicated to the belief that every person in America deserves the freedom to thrive, fueled by opportunity, justice and a voice in our democracy. This freedom is achieved through an economy that works for all, including the ability to form a union; great public schools and affordable higher education; healthcare as a right; retirement security; the right to vote and civil rights; a vibrant democracy; and safe, welcoming and healthy environments and communities. The AFT and its members advance these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through members' work—we care, fight, show up and vote. Prior to her election as AFT president in 2008, Weingarten served for 11 years as president of the United Federation of Teachers, AFT Local 2, representing approximately 200,000 educators in the New York City public school system, as well as home child care providers and other workers in health, law and education. Weingarten is the recipient of many commendations; she was included in Washingtonian's 2021 Washington's Most Influential People, City & State New York's 2021 New York City Labor Power 100, and Washington Life's 2018 Power 100 list of prominent leaders, and in 2017 received the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Distinguished Public Service Award. In 2013, the New York Observer named Weingarten one of the most influential New Yorkers of the past 25 years. Weingarten has led the AFT's efforts to strengthen public education for all children and to address the crisis in the teaching profession caused by deep disinvestment and the deprofessionalization of teaching. Through the AFT's Fund Our Future campaign, AFT members and leaders throughout the country are fighting for adequate investment in public education. Parents and many others have joined the AFT's efforts to end the overuse and misuse of standardized tests, and to fix—not close—struggling schools, something Weingarten has advocated since her involvement in the creation of New York City's Chancellor's District, which dramatically improved achievement in what had been some of the city's lowest-performing schools. Weingarten has launched major efforts to place real education reform high on the nation's and her union's agendas. She created the AFT Innovation Fund, a groundbreaking initiative to support sustainable, innovative and collaborative education reform projects developed by members and their local unions. At Weingarten's direction, the AFT developed a model to transform teacher evaluations from a way of simply rating teachers to a tool for continuous improvement and feedback. This model is used to align tenure and due process, so that tenure serves as a guarantee of fairness, not of a job for life. Weingarten led an AFT committee that called for all prospective teachers to meet a high entry standard—as in medicine or law—so that they're prepared from the day they enter the classroom. Weingarten oversaw the development of the AFT's Quality Education Agenda, which advocates for reforms grounded in evidence, equity, scalability and sustainability. She promotes what she calls “solution-driven unionism”—an approach to collective bargaining and collective action that unites the interests of union members and those they serve in the pursuit of solutions that benefit students, schools and communities. Under Weingarten's leadership, the AFT continues to grow and expand its voice as a union of professionals. Nationwide, the AFT is the second-largest union of nurses and other health professionals and the largest higher education union, representing 230,000 higher education faculty, professional staff and graduate employees. Weingarten helped source millions of dollars of personal protective equipment for nurses and health professionals experiencing shortages as they served on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. Weingarten is an advocate for a New Deal for Higher Education, a campaign calling for substantial federal investment in higher education that would prioritize teaching, research and student supports; provide sustainable careers with professional voice for all faculty and staff; allow all students to attend regardless of ability to pay; create academic environments free of racism and other forms of bigotry; and cancel student debt. The AFT provides our members tools and information they can use to manage their federal student loan debt, including having that debt forgiven, while advocating for solutions to the escalating cost of higher education, predatory loan practices, and terrible loan servicing that is holding people back. The AFT and a broad array of parent and community partners across the country have collaborated on events to advance a community- and educator-driven agenda for public school reform. Weingarten spearheaded the development of Share My Lesson, the United States' largest free collection of lesson plans, classroom activities, and teaching strategies and resources created by educators, for educators—all at no cost. The AFT has a long-standing partnership with First Book, which has provided 5 million free and reduced-price books to children. Weingarten and the AFT were asked to lead a partnership to transform McDowell County, W.Va., one of the poorest counties in the United States. The AFT has assembled more than 100 partners not only to improve the quality of education provided to children in the county, but to focus on jobs, transportation, recreation, housing, healthcare and social services. Weingarten believes the rural way of life is worth fighting for, and the AFT's experience in McDowell County informs the work Weingarten is advancing to help rural communities thrive—through education, healthcare and economic opportunities. The AFT supports the strategic establishment of 25,000 community schools where students and families can access tailored health services and social services in one place, and marginalized communities can have access to services and support. Weingarten views this goal as especially vital to help children, families and communities recover from the wide-ranging impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing recession. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the AFT worked with scientists and health professionals to develop a blueprint for reopening schools. The AFT continues to advocate for the funding and necessary testing and safety protocols to ensure in-person learning is safe.  During the Trump administration, Weingarten led the AFT's efforts to oppose Trump and Betsy DeVos' fervent attempts to defund and destabilize public education and to stand up to the administration's racist policies and attacks on facts and democracy. In 2012-13, Weingarten served on an education reform commission convened by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which made a series of recommendations to improve teaching and learning. She was appointed to the Equity and Excellence Commission, a federal advisory committee chartered by Congress to examine and make recommendations concerning the disparities in educational opportunities that give rise to the achievement gap. For 10 years, while president of the UFT, Weingarten chaired New York City's Municipal Labor Committee, an umbrella organization for the city's 100-plus public sector unions, including those representing higher education and other public service employees. As chair of the MLC, she coordinated labor negotiations and bargaining for benefits on behalf of the MLC unions' 365,000 members. From 1986 to 1998, Weingarten served as counsel to UFT President Sandra Feldman, taking a lead role in contract negotiations and enforcement, and in lawsuits in which the union fought for adequate school funding and building conditions. A teacher of history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood from 1991 to 1997, Weingarten helped her students win several state and national awards debating constitutional issues. Elected as the local union's assistant secretary in 1995 and as treasurer two years later, she became UFT president after Feldman became president of the AFT. Weingarten was elected to her first full term as UFT president in 1998 and was re-elected three times. Weingarten's column “What Matters Most” appears in the New York Times' Sunday Review the third Sunday of each month. You can follow her on Twitter at @rweingarten (Twitter.com/rweingarten) and on Facebook (Facebook.com/randi.weingarten.9). Weingarten holds degrees from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Cardozo School of Law. She worked as a lawyer for the Wall Street firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan from 1983 to 1986. She is an active member of the Democratic National Committee and numerous professional, civic and philanthropic organizations. Born in 1957 and raised in Rockland County, N.Y., Weingarten now resides in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City.

I didn't set out to reach 200 episodes—I set out to follow the joy. And in this episode, I reflect on how joy hasn't come from numbers or milestones, but from the moments in between - from the magic of sitting down and having real, honest conversations. Over the years, I've explored everything from emotional intelligence to leadership transitions, from burnout to belonging, from accounting for our emotions to creating more human workplaces. And at the heart of it all has been conversation - curious, meaningful conversation. To mark this milestone, I took myself (and the title of the episode) on a walk through London. I stopped to notice what caught my eye, and three unexpected moments - a sculpture, a street sign, and a sticker - each reminded me in their own way of the joy, the depth and the permission that conversation can hold. This episode isn't just a celebration of a number - it's a pause, a breath and an invitation. To slow down. To notice. To listen. Because in a world that rushes, true conversation remains one of our most powerful tools for connection and change and continues to have the power to move us.   Susan Ní Chríodáin is the host of Life Beyond the Numbers and founder of Beyond the Numbers, a leadership consultancy rooted in human connection and meaningful change.

When you start writing, it can be easy to get hung up on making every word perfect. But here's a secret: the real magic happens through the process of revision. Your first draft is just that—a starting point, not the finished product. Embracing imperfection means giving yourself permission to create, to experiment, and even to make mistakes. It's the challenges and edits along the way that will shape not just your book, but your growth as a writer. Every step is progress, even when it feels messy. I can introduce you to Biz Book Publishing Hub Partners, who can help you overcome writing challenges.

Trust and engagement aren't things you can force—they have to be earned through consistency, transparency, and real connection. When employees feel unheard or undervalued, motivation fades, and productivity suffers. The key is creating an environment where people feel safe to share ideas, take initiative, and believe that their contributions matter. Organizations that prioritize open communication and genuine respect don't just see better results—they build teams that are actually invested in the work they do. Corey Sheer is the founder and CEO of TrustCentric Consulting, a company dedicated to helping leaders and organizations strengthen trust within their workplace culture. As an author, Corey has written the book "Closing the Trust Gap," which provides a framework for measuring, understanding, and actively improving trust. Today, Corey discusses the importance of trust as the foundation for leadership, teamwork, and business success. Stay tuned!

Today is an extra special episode — it's officially our 300th episode of the show! I am so proud of this. In an appropriate nod to reaching the milestone of 300 episodes, we're talking today about how to make the most of our days, weeks, months, years — how to savor our time. We're chatting with Dr. Cassie Holmes about her 2022 bookHappier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. In the book, Cassie puts forth that time is our most precious resource; in this conversation, we talk about time poverty and how it impacts a life; how she got started in this work; if having too much time on our hands is also a negative; effective time-crafting exercises like time tracking; how we are less happy when we're distracted; treating our weekends like vacations; hedonic adaptation and what that means; and how her work is not necessarily about being time rich or making more time, but making the time that wedo have more rich. It's not about how much time you have, necessarily, but how it's spent. We also talk about why women feel more time poor than men, and how Cassie's work helps us look back on our lives without regret, knowing we made the most of the time we have.Happier Hourhas become a massive hit since it came out, and I'm really excited to share it with you today. Cassie Holmes is a professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, where she's an award-winning teacher and researcher. Her work on the intersection of time and happiness has been featured everywhere fromThe New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, NPR,The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and more, and she is a graduate of both Columbia and Stanford's Graduate School of Business.Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most by Dr. Cassie Holmes

Stress and burnout are common and pervasive problems in our society. As today's guest Dr. Aditi Nerurkar writes in her new bookThe 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience — which came out January 16 — “Stress and burnout aren't the exception anymore, they're the rule.” It turns out that we're all trapped in the stress paradox, where we are completely isolated in our togetherness with stress. Today on the show we talk about that, as well as the five resets she outlines in her book: No. 1, Get Clear on What Matters Most; No. 2: Find Quiet in a Noisy World; No. 3: Sync Your Brain and Your Body; No. 4: Come Up for Air; and No. 5: Bring Your Best Self Forward. We pack so much in today's episode, including explaining both the multitasking myth and the resilience myth; how not all stress is bad stress, necessarily; how critical digital boundaries are, as being hyperconnected is actually being disconnected; what popcorn brain is; and so much more. It's a really interesting conversation, and we leave it with hope that no one's stress is too far gone to be fixed. That's right — no one! Dr. Nerurkar is a Harvard stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent, and writes that these five small but mighty mindset shifts can help us all overcome our stress. She is an expert in stress, burnout, resilience, and mental health, and her work has been featured inThe New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and NPR. She found that, even though stress plays a role in nearly 80 percent of doctor visits, only 3 percent of doctors actually offer stress management tips; her work closes that gap. If you're ready to get rid of stress and burnout for good, this episode is for you. The 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilienceby Dr. Aditi Nerurkar

Clarify your purpose — and stop wasting time.The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.As Cassie Holmes knows, how we spend our time has a big impact on our happiness and well-being. For her, that means focusing on the things not just immediately in front of us, but those that most closely align with our purpose."When I say purpose, what I mean is what really drives you," explains Holmes, a professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management and author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Living a happier and more fulfilled life, she says, rests on using purpose to drive our decisions. “Once you clarify for yourself: what is your purpose? What is your why? Then you can use that as a filter [for] where you should be spending your time.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Holmes and host Matt Abrahams explore practical strategies for being more purposeful with our time. From email management to relationship building, Holmes shares research-backed approaches for achieving greater happiness through intentional choices.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

We go to the dentist, get our eyes checked, and get our cars inspected. These regularly scheduled health and safety audits let us know how we're doing. But we rarely audit how we spend our time. Sure, most of us have a calendar. Yet few of us study how these calendar events impact our happiness. We rarely track the connection between what we spend our time doing and how well we're flourishing. As a result, we can find ourselves feeling unhappy, frustrated, and what scientists call “time poor.” Researchers like Cassie Holmes want to change that. They've learned there's a strong connection between how we spend our time and how happy we feel. In her book, Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most, she shares ways we can optimize our calendars for happiness, including ways to avoid distraction, extend joy, create a meaningful schedule, and avoid regret. Holmes' tips on time tracking and time auditing are simple and powerful. As the year draws to a close, this may be just the book you're looking for as we head into a new year.

Feelings are important, but navigating difficult ones is hard. What do we do with the complicated emotions that often arise in life? Feelings that we've been taught we shouldn't feel as Christians? A lot of us push them down and pretend they don't matter. Others of us get stuck in the pain. But the Bible suggest a better way: "Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge" (Psalm 62:8). How do we do that? I'm so glad you asked! Anjuli's Paschall's book, Feel: A Collection of Liturgies Offering Hope for Every Complicated Emotion, has been such a gift to me. And I absolutely LOVE our tender and raw conversation. We were both in tears as we talked about the disappointments and hurts that we've faced. Anjuli assures us that rather than tidying up our emotions, we can be real and raw with God as well. Her book helps us Key Takeaways: Emotions aren't good or bad - they're simply part of being human. Rather than denying our emotions, they can be an indicator light for the places God wants to heal. God gives us permission to feel - for we serve an emotional God! We have a Savior who not only understands our feelings, He invites us to bring them to Him. We can be honest with God and ourselves - rather than being overwhelmed by emotions, we can curious as we process them with Jesus. For they often reveal what God wants to heal. This is such an important conversation, you guys. And this book could literally change your life. Stuffing and denying our emotions only makes them come out sideways in anxiety, depression and issues with our health. How much better to bring them all to Jesus. Anjuli's book helps us do just that!

Feeling overwhelmed by an endless to-do list? Like you're constantly putting out fires but never getting ahead? You're not alone. Many people today feel like they're drowning in urgency — filling every minute with tasks that feel critical in the moment but may not truly matter in the long run.Here to help us understand how to escape this cycle is Matt Reynolds, a strength coach, business owner, and the author of Undoing Urgency: How to Focus on What Matters Most. Today on the show, Matt explains what creates that feeling of being overwhelmed by urgency, how to distinguish between status and true value, and why you can only effectively pursue 2-3 major goals at once. We discuss using the Eisenhower Decision Matrix to identify what tasks truly matter, how to apply the concept of "minimum effective dose" beyond just fitness, and why sometimes the pursuit of a goal matters more than achieving it. We end our conversation with concrete steps you can take today to start undoing urgency in your life.Resources Related to the PodcastMatt's previous appearances on the AoM podcast:Episode #826: From Novice to Advanced — The Weightlifter's JourneyEpisode #302: My Workout Routine & The Benefits of a Strength CoachEpisode #154: Strength Training for EveryoneAoM Article: The Eisenhower Decision Matrix — How to Distinguish Between Urgent and Important Tasks and Make Real Progress in Your LifeAoM Article: Motivation Over Discipline Connect With Matt ReynoldsMatt's websiteBarbell LogicTurnKey Coach

iPhone users have likely noticed that some texts show up in blue and some show up in green. What's the difference? This episode begins by explaining why that happens and what it means. https://www.rd.com/article/why-are-my-texts-green/ Have you heard the expression “time poverty”? It's when you have too much to do and never enough time to do it. Why live in time poverty when you can live in “time affluence”. Cassie Holmes is here to tell you how.
