How To Fight Well
The Art of Accomplishment
10/25/24 • 52 min
Most people never consider that fighting can be a useful and healthy practice for our relationships — and that “fighting well” is a skill that can be learned.

• Healthy fighting can actually lead to healing, growth, and deeper connection
• The importance of speaking your truth
• What to NOT do during fights
• The empowerment of a good fight
• When to walk away (and how)
• When a fight is no longer worth fighting

Money Worries, Identity, and the Trap of Being 'Good’ (Coaching Episode)
The Art of Accomplishment
04/11/25 • 56 min
If your relationship with money has ever caused you grief, this glimpse into transformation could point the way to uncovering the root of your own challenges. Bobby Hobert comes to Joe with a question that sounds familiar to many of us: money struggles and how to step into the version of ourselves that feels so close, yet so elusive. What he finds instead is something deeper and messier: the recognition that trying to "get it right" is often the very thing in the way.
Together with Joe, Bobby explores:
- The subtle ways seeking approval can mask as leadership
- Why helping others isn’t always generous
- The discomfort (and magic) of not knowing who you are
- How stillness can reveal more than striving ever could

How To Find Your Purpose
The Art of Accomplishment
12/20/24 • 19 min
Purpose is not defined by what we do, but by how we show up to life’s callings—whether in moments of fear, effort, or surrender. In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Joe and Brett lead us on a journey to uncover what it means to live with purpose. Not as something to be found, but as something to be recognized. Together, they unpack the myths surrounding purpose, challenging the notion that it is an external destination and reframing it as an inherent part of how we live.
They examine:
- The search for purpose
- How purpose emerges in the moment
- Balancing the fear and challenge of stepping into purpose
- Discovering purpose as a deeply personal truth
- How facing discomfort and friction often reveals the path to deeper meaning
