Getting UnBusy with Garland Vance
03/18/21 • 32 min
It's a rote response we've almost become programmed to utter. A general greeting &/or welfare check like "How's it going?" is met with the standard "Busy as always!" or some similar descriptor to let you know that you are in no way guilty of having a moment to relax.
Meet Garland Vance, a guy who has his own story about the dangers of being "busy." We've convinced ourselves that busy-ness is equal to productivity and maybe even value. Surely the busier you are the more significant and important you must be, right?
That's all great until the mule lays down. Keep throwing weight on its back and at some point that donkey refuses to move another step.
This is more than a process of time management or establishing check-lists. This is a conscious act of overcoming our propensity to say "yes" when aske to absorb one more task.
Give this a listen, get a free copy of Garland's best-selling book "Gettin Unbusy," and start making time in your life FOR life.

Building Resilience with AJ Adams
The pandemic has taxed our resilience reservoirs. Forced to respond to new work conditions, new social limitations and uncertain implications on our personal wellbeing - it's been quite a psychological spartan race.
I present to you AJ Adams, a pioneer in the study of positive psychology and building resilience. We have an innate ability to bounce back when faced with stress - but can we exercise those "ambiguity muscles" to be better equipped when life starts to stack stress upon stress?
I think you'll enjoy our conversation about finding your strength amidst the chaos. Keep looking ahead, you already know what's behind you!

Why $15 An Hour is Irrelevant
Hello HR,
How long have we heard about an increased minimum wage? Long enough for the increase to be meaningless, that's for sure.
Would it even help? Could it actually hurt? Well hell yes it could hurt - for every person lifted from poverty, another 1 1⁄2 jobs would be lost. That's a short u-turn right back into poverty.
Join me for a quick 15-minute rant, let me know what you think. You have probably surmised how I feel - am I wrong?
