Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Stop Waiting. Start Living. Most of us have been conditioned to believe a lie. We’re told that our worth is something to be earned, that we need to achieve more, hustle harder, and prove ourselves before we can finally feel like we matter. But no matter how much we accomplish, something still feels missing. Why? Because mattering isn’t something you prove—it’s something you create. And everything changes when you stop proving your worth—and start embodying it. Why Passion Struck is Different Most personal growth podcasts focus on hacks and habits—but they miss the deeper question: 👉...

Kurt Gray on How to Bridge Moral Divides and Rebuild Trust | EP 591
In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Kurt Gray, professor of psychology and author of the new book Outraged , joins John R. Miles to explore why we live in such a morally charged world—and what we can do to repair it. Together, they unpack the psychology behind outrage, the evolutionary roots of our moral minds, and why our perceptions of harm often drive us apart. Kurt shares powerful stories and groundbreaking research to help us understand competitive victimhood, moral typecasting, and the dangers of social media-fueled moral panics. They also dive into practical strategies—like intentional listening, empathy, and storytelling—for bridging divides in families, communities, and politics. Whether you're trying to heal a relationship or navigate the culture wars, this episode is a must-listen. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/kurt-gray-on-how-to-bridge-moral-divides/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Harm Is the Master Key: Our moral minds evolved to detect and respond to harm—especially within our groups. This evolutionary lens explains much of today's outrage. Social Media Fuels Moral Panics: Platforms are wired to pair threats with virality, causing us to spiral into outrage and reactivity. Moral Typecasting Limits Empathy: We label people as either victims or villains, which prevents us from seeing their full humanity. Outrage Is Often Rooted in Unseen Pain: People’s perceptions of harm are deeply personal, shaped by past trauma, loss, or unacknowledged suffering. Mattering Matters: Feeling unseen or dismissed heightens moral conflict. Recognizing someone’s pain helps defuse moral tension.

Nir Eyal on How to Win Back Your Time and Attention | EP 586
In this episode of Passion Struck, John welcomes Nir Eyal, a behavioral designer and author known for his insights into human behavior and technology's impact on our lives. Eyal shares his journey into understanding distraction, rooted in his childhood experiences with obesity and emotional eating. He emphasizes that the real challenge today is not the abundance of information but the ability to focus our attention and turn that information into wisdom. Eyal discusses the concept of becoming " indistractable ," highlighting that most distractions stem from internal triggers—emotional states like boredom, loneliness, and anxiety—rather than external ones. He argues that understanding these internal triggers is crucial for managing our attention and breaking free from distractions. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/ nir-eyal -how-to-win-back-your-time-and-attention/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Mastering Internal Triggers : Recognizing the emotional discomfort that leads to distraction is essential for regaining control over our time and attention. The Importance of Curiosity-Driven Learning : Eyal advocates for teaching children to be autodidacts, emphasizing the need for skills that will remain relevant in an ever-changing world. Turning Values into Time : Eyal explains that to align our lives with our values, we must intentionally allocate time for activities that reflect who we want to become, rather than allowing distractions to dictate our schedules. Creating Healthy Relationships with Technology : Eyal suggests that parents can help their children manage technology use by modeling indistractable behavior themselves and providing opportunities for free play and social interaction. Reimagining Boredom and Negativity Bias : Eyal encourages listeners to embrace boredom as a catalyst for personal growth and to be aware of the negativity bias that can lead to compulsive media consumption.

Laurie Santos on How to Matter in a Busy World | EP 583
In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Dr. Laurie Santos, a renowned psychologist and professor at Yale University, to discuss the importance of mattering in our increasingly busy and disconnected world. Dr. Santos shares insights from her popular Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," and her podcast, "The Happiness Lab," exploring how social connections, intrinsic motivation, and the act of helping others can enhance our sense of belonging and overall happiness. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/laurie-santos-on-how-to-matter-in-a-busy-world/ Key takeaways: The Importance of Mattering : Mattering is crucial for our psychological well-being. It involves feeling valued and connected to others, which is essential for happiness. Cultural Pressures : Many students today, especially in high-pressure environments like Ivy League schools, are focused on individual achievements, leading to feelings of disconnection and anxiety. Social Connection : Happy people tend to have strong social ties. Engaging with others and helping them can significantly boost our own happiness. Technology's Role : While technology can connect us, it can also lead to disconnection. The convenience of digital communication often lacks the depth of face-to-face interactions. The Work of Happiness : Achieving happiness requires effort and intentionality. Simple acts of kindness and social engagement can enhance our sense of mattering.

The Hidden Crisis of Family Mattering—And How to Fix It
In episode 582 of the Passion Struck podcast, host John R. Miles explores the often overlooked yet crucial role that small, intentional actions and moments of presence play in maintaining strong family connections. These seemingly insignificant moments are the glue that holds families together, ensuring that each member feels seen, heard, and valued. John dives into the subtle actions and decisions that can either bring family members closer together or gradually create distance. Full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/mattering-in-families-fuels-belonging-and-love/ Key takeaways: Family mattering is essential — it’s not just about love but about feeling seen, valued, and irreplaceable within the family unit. A lack of mattering creates a hidden crisis — when family members feel invisible or unimportant, emotional distance and resentment can quietly build. Small actions have a big impact — simple, consistent gestures like listening attentively, acknowledging feelings, and offering support reinforce family bonds. Attachment styles influence family dynamics — secure attachment fosters connection, while anxious or avoidant patterns can erode the sense of mattering. Mattering is a daily practice — families grow stronger when they intentionally show each other they care, not through grand gestures but through everyday moments. Repair starts with awareness — recognizing when someone feels they don’t matter is the first step to healing and building a more connected, loving family. Want to take this conversation further?

Dr. Samuel Wilkinson on Why Life Is a Test of Good and Evil | EP 581
In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Sam Wilkinson to explore the profound impact of human connection on our sense of meaning and purpose. Dr. Wilkinson discusses the detrimental effects of our society's increasing disconnection from real human interaction and the overemphasis on individualism that has paradoxically led to more suffering. This conversation delves into Dr. Wilkinson's personal background, particularly the pivotal role his religious upbringing and mission work have played in shaping his career and approach to his work at Yale. Tune in to uncover valuable insights on how intentionality and in-person interactions can help you become the best version of yourself. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/samuel-wilkinson-life-is-a-test-of-good-and-evil/ Key takeaways: Evidence suggests that evolution is not purely random; patterns in nature indicate guiding principles that shape development. The crisis of meaning is exacerbated by technology, which has led to atomization and disconnection from face-to-face interactions. Affective forecasting shows that people often misjudge what will bring them happiness; strong relationships are key to lasting fulfillment. Family relationships are emphasized as a source of meaning and purpose in life. Micro choices and daily decisions significantly impact long-term happiness and character development. The role of marriage is highlighted as a cultural mechanism to strengthen bonds between fathers and their biological children.

The Mattering Mindset in Love: How to Choose the Love You Deserve (Part 2) | Episode
What if love doesn’t feel uncertain because of the person you’re with—but because you haven’t fully chosen yourself? Many people settle for relationships that leave them questioning their worth. This episode explores The Mattering Mindset in Love —the difference between being chosen out of love versus convenience, why self-worth determines the love we accept, and how to cultivate relationships that foster security and emotional fulfillment. This conversation will shift everything if you’ve ever wondered why love feels like a guessing game. Download the Leave Behind in the full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/the-mattering-mindset-in-love/ Key takeaways: Love isn’t about being chosen occasionally—it’s about being valued consistently. If you have to convince someone of your worth, they are not your person. The Mattering Mindset in Love requires mutual investment, not one-sided effort. True commitment isn’t about exclusivity alone—it’s about daily actions that reinforce security and trust. If clarity scares someone away, they were never fully invested. The right partner welcomes conversations about commitment because they value you. Settling happens when you mistake trust and familiarity for real emotional security. Speak with your feet—your actions should align with your worth, not just your desires. A great relationship makes you feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are. If you wouldn’t tolerate a certain level of effort from a friend, why accept it in a relationship? Want to take this conversation further?

Edward Fishman on Economic Warfare: The New Age of Power Dynamics | EP 577
In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official and author of the groundbreaking book Choke Points: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare . The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of global power dynamics, where economic tools such as sanctions, export controls, and financial dominance have become the primary instruments of statecraft in the 21st century. Fishman explains the concept of "choke points," which refers to critical areas in the global economy where one country holds significant leverage, allowing it to exert influence without military intervention. He discusses how the U.S. has pioneered the use of economic warfare, particularly in response to the rise of authoritarian regimes in Russia and China, and the implications of this shift for international relations. The episode explores the historical context of economic warfare, the ethical dilemmas faced by policymakers, and the potential consequences of overusing economic power. Fishman emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics as nations navigate a fractured global economy, where the competition for resources and influence is increasingly defined by economic rather than military means. Full shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/edward-fishman-on-the-new-age-of-power-dynamics/ Key takeaways: Factors contributing to the rise of economic warfare include: The hyper-globalization of the 1990s leading to economic interdependence.

The implications of sanctions and economic tools, emphasizing their dual nature as both offensive and defensive strategies. The ethical dilemmas associated with economic warfare, particularly the humanitarian impact on civilian populations. The potential for a fractured global economy, with nations becoming isolated economic deserts due to competing economic blocks. The importance of maintaining economic security and the risks of over-reliance on economic sanctions are emphasized. The dangers of a chaotic global economy where only great powers set the terms, potentially leading to military conflicts.

Why Mattering at Work Is the New Metric Leaders Must Track | EP 573
Welcome back to Passion Struck! In today’s episode, we’re diving into the leadership metric that changes everything—mattering. Have you ever put everything into your work only to feel invisible?

How to Win the Fight for Your Soul and Why It Matters | EP 567
In this episode of Passion Struck, John dives deep into a critical conversation about the battle for our souls and the importance of reclaiming our purpose in a world that constantly distracts us from what truly matters. John shares his personal journey of disconnection, illustrating how the relentless pursuit of success and external validation can lead us to lose sight of our authentic selves. We explore the subtle ways we lose the fight for our souls—through distractions, people-pleasing, and the fear of stepping outside our comfort zones. John emphasizes that success without meaning is merely a distraction dressed as achievement, and he challenges listeners to reflect on who they are truly living for. Download the Episode Worksheet in the shownotes at: https://passionstruck.com/win-the-fight-for-your-soul-and-why-it-matters/ What You'll Learn in This Episode The Battle for Your Soul : Every day, distractions and societal pressures can lead to a gradual disconnection from your authentic self.

Many individuals achieve external success but still feel empty inside. True fulfillment comes from aligning your actions with your core values and purpose.

People-pleasing behaviors further contribute to losing your identity, as you prioritize others' approval over your own desires. The Success Trap : Chasing external achievements can lead to a life devoid of meaning. The pursuit of more—whether it be money, status, or accolades—often results in dissatisfaction and a sense of emptiness. Fear and Comfort Zones : Fear of failure and the unknown can prevent individuals from pursuing what truly matters. Many remain stuck in their comfort zones, avoiding the discomfort necessary for growth. The Fight Framework : Jon introduces a five-step framework to reclaim your soul: F ace the Truth: Identify your core values. I dentify the Noise: Eliminate distractions that drain your energy.

What can one person do to change the world? Julia Butterfly Hill answered this question with an extraordinary act of courage and conviction.

Jay Van Bavel on Why You Are the Architect of Your Identity EP 265
On the Passion Struck podcast, I have the pleasure of hosting Jay Van Bavel, the Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab, Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, and an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations. During the episode, we delve into his insights in his book " The Power of Us ," which explores the potential of shared identities to enhance performance, encourage collaboration, and facilitate social unity. In This Episode, Jay Van Bavel And I Discuss His Book "The Power of Us." According to Jay Van Bavel, my guest today, many people believe that their identity remains static. However, he argues that the opposite is true. Your identity continuously evolves, frequently beyond your conscious awareness and occasionally against your will, to align with the interests of the groups you associate with. Consequently, it is not unusual for beliefs to persist even after they have been refuted. By comprehending how identity functions, you can seize control and progress from questioning, "Who am I?" to asking, "Who do I aspire to become?"

She has gone on to win 17 medals in skiing, rowing, cycling, and biathlon. We discuss her new memoir, The Hard Parts .

Stefan Falk on Why Intrinsic Motivation Is Vital to Success EP 252
I welcome Stefan Falk to Passion Struck, who is a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life. We explore his new book Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before. Stefan Falk discusses why intrinsic motivation is vital to success Stefan Falk and I discuss why to achieve productivity and positivity in both personal and professional life, it's important to have a sense of control, an understanding of current events and future prospects, and a strong and supportive social network. The need for connection and trust has become even more crucial with the rise of remote work. However, many of us struggle to meet these needs effectively and instead resort to unhelpful coping strategies. The key to success is to develop intrinsic motivation by focusing on activities that align with our career and life goals, rejecting a competitive mentality, finding joy in our work, and doing it well.

7 Ways to Stop Playing the Victim to Your Circumstances w/ John R. Miles EP 229
Too often, we allow our psyche to control our lives. We become prisoners of our own minds and victims of our own circumstances. In this episode, John shares an important message about six ways to recognize we are playing the victim and seven steps to overcome our victim mentality and live intentionally. What I Discuss About Playing the Victim By nature, nobody is a victim. Playing the victim is not a psychological feature but rather a learned behavior. Most of the time, those with victim mentalities go through trauma or difficult situations without developing better-coping skills. In fact, this is referred described by psychologists as "learned helplessness," a condition in which people who have experienced terrible events feel helpless to get out of their predicament.

Max and I discuss his new book, "Complicit," and explore the root causes of complicity, how it's enabled and how to stop it. What We Discuss with Max H. Bazerman While It is easy to blame obvious offenders, we rarely consider the many people supporting their unethical or criminal behaviors. There was a corroborating cast of people who were complicit: business partners, investors, news organizations, employees, and others. And, whether we’re aware of it or not, most of us have been complicit in the unscrupulous behavior of others. We explore complicity through the stories of McKinsey, Arthur Andersen, Theranos, ExxonMobile, and BP and learn valuable lessons on not only what creates complicity but our role in allowing it to happen. --►Purchase Complicit: https://amzn.to/3E5b5ck (Amazon Link) Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/max-h-bazerman-how-to-overcome-complicity/ Brought to you by Indeed, Masterclass, and InsideTracker. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/tbgI2kwidmA Like this show?

The Power of Forgiveness and 5 Important Ways to Forgive w/John R. Miles EP 208
In today's episode, I tackle the power of forgiveness by examining it through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. I then provide five powerful ways to forgive. If you're like most people, the thought of forgiving someone who has hurt you probably seems like the last thing you want to do on earth. This doesn't make you resentful—it just makes you human. Full show notes and resources can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/the-power-of-forgiveness-and-5-ways-to-forgive/ . Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/ ). What I Discuss About the Power of Forgiveness Forgiveness is difficult because evolution has taught us to avoid being exploited by others. One of the easiest ways to prevent exploitation is by retaliating or avoiding the offender. Choosing to forgive someone who has caused you pain can free you from the harm caused by others. However, unforgiveness can tie you to your past, stealing you of peace and joy. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/dsgHPKg5qWA Like this show?

Jeremy Utley on Why Mastering Ideaflow Elevates Everything Else You Do EP 206
Stanford professor Jeremy Utley joins us on Passion Struck to discuss his new book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric that Matters , co-written with Perry Klebahn. Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/ ). Let's face it. We all strive for grand ideas, but very few truly comprehend how novel ideas are born. Innovation is not a one-time event, nor is it a sprint or a hackathon. It comes from the mastery of ideaflow, a technique that advances everything else you do. The simple fact is that ideas matter. That is why innovators focus on inputs instead of outputs. According to Jeremy, innovators don't obsess over quality, they develop quantity. Jeremy Utley is the Director of Executive Education at Stanford’s d.school and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s School of Engineering.

5 Ways You Can Break Free From Digital Addiction w/John R. Miles EP 205

Brought to you by BiOptimizers ( Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker ( get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck). We are immersed in an era of smartphone obsession and digital addiction. I hear it all the time: “I can’t live without my smartphone,” or “I feel apprehensive when I’m not able to check my messages,” or “If I’m not on social media, I fear I’m missing out.” Not surprisingly, research reveals that too much technology use diminishes our physiological and physical health, human connection, our work performance and is destroying our relationships. Short of throwing your device away, how can you learn to build better habits around technology — keeping its benefits while minimizing the adverse effects? In today’s episode, I explore why smartphones are killing conversations and human-to-human connections we need to feel fulfilled. I’ll start by talking about a personal experience I had earlier today. I will then discuss why smartphones are negatively impacting our connections and provide five ways that you can break free from digital addiction. --► Get the resources and all links related to this episode here: https://passionstruck.com/5-ways-you-can-break-free-from-digital-addiction/ --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/avE-l31OS8Y --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Thank You, BiOptimizers and InsideTracker, for Sponsoring.

Brought to you by BiOptimizers ( Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker ( get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck). Have you ever wondered how best to harness your belief in yourself to succeed in any field? Dr. Nate Zinsser and I discuss why NFL quarterbacks like Eli Manning can rise to the moment and achieve peak performance. Why, whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, how you can perform best when you are so sure about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. Dr. Zinnser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the highest—on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes, including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome the pressure and succeed on the biggest stages. For the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience in his book The Confident Mind, which is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

Dolly Chugh on How to Create a More Just Future EP 203
Dolly Chugh joins me on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss her new book, A More Just Future. In our interview, Dolly provides a frank yet endearing compass for "embracing the paradox" that America was built on the idea that all people are equal. Yet it was founded on slavery. Chugh interweaves lessons on structural racism, the patriot's dilemma, and settler colonialism. We discuss her study of good people and why we should stop focusing on being a good person so that we can become a better one. We explore the contradictions of US history and how we should learn to view them, connecting the dots between current events and the past. Dolly Chugh is a Harvard-educated, award-winning social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business, where she is an expert researcher in the psychology of good people. In 2018, she delivered the popular TED Talk “How to let go of being a ‘good’ person and become a better person.” She is the author of A More Just Future and The Person You Mean to Be .

Daniel Pink on Why the Power of Regret Can Transform Your Life EP 197
A significant portion of modern culture proposes that we live with no regrets. You may have even seen people sporting 'no regrets' tattoos. But what if that advice is significantly wrong and regret was, in fact, actually a helpful thing? That's the highly provoking question today's guest, Daniel Pink, poses in our Passion Struck podcast interview. Pink then answers the question using scientific research and two of the most extensive mega studies ever done on the subject, which validate that regret can be an incredibly valuable experience and powerful tool for creating a well-lived life. In fact, he argues that a life entirely without regret might even do more harm than good. With millions of copies of his #1 New York Times bestselling big-idea books sold, a renowned TED talk that has been viewed more than thirty-eight million times, lectures around the world, and the acclaim of everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to Oprah, Daniel H. Pink has changed the way we live by changing how we think. His books have sold millions of copies, are translated into 42 languages, and won multiple awards. Today, we discuss Dan's newest bestselling book, The Power of Regret: How Looking Back Moves us Forward . -►Order a copy of The Power of Regret: https://amzn.to/3V2ayzh (Amazon Link) -► Get the full show notes for all resources from today's episode: https://passionstruck.com/daniel-pink-the-power-of-regret/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/eSgBIalV6pg --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 Daniel Pink Discusses The Power of Regret: Have you ever wondered why regret is essentially about opportunity, and missed opportunities? Of course, some people have more opportunities than others. Does that affect the amount of regret they feel? Do people with more opportunities have more regrets? Should we use our regret more wisely or have less of it? How do we take advantage of regret without getting trapped in rumination? And why instead of running away from negative emotions, we should engage with them and use them to learn. And so much more.

According to Douglas, tech billionaires are preparing for this event by configuring their doomsday bunkers.

Understanding the Value of Time: The Wisdom of the Stoics w John R. Miles EP 184
How much is the value of time really worth? Carl Sandburg said, “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.” In this Momentum Friday episode from the Passion Struck podcast, I tackle the value of time. I examine this by studying wisdom from the stoics on the topic and using ten of their mantras for managing time. Members of the Passion Struck community have asked questions like, "Why do I always feel there aren't there enough hours in the day to do the things I want to do?", "Why do I keep procrastinating?", "Why do I waste my time doing frivolous things?", Why am I constantly dissatisfied with where my life is going?" and many other similar questions. This episode is dedicated to answering them. This episode tackles how to figure out what your time is worth and use that information to spend your time more effectively. Learning how to get the most out of your time starts with knowing exactly what your time is worth. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/loneliness-is-not-a-joke-here-are-10-ways-to-deal-with-it/ --► Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

Loneliness Is NOT a Joke. Here Are 9 Ways to Deal With It w/John R. Miles EP 181
Over the past few months, the growing chronic loneliness epidemic has come up repeatedly in my interviews on the Passion Struck podcast. Given its prevalence, I decided to devote this episode to addressing its significance. Loneliness is a human sentiment that is complicated and unique to every person. Because there isn't a known common cause, the consequences of loneliness and its prevention can vary dramatically. Anne Hathaway did a great job articulating her feelings about loneliness in the following quote, "Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me." Her quote brings to life how differently we each experience loneliness. For example, a lonely elderly person who struggles to have people to talk to has different needs than a college student leaving home for the first time. In today's Momentum Friday Passion Struck podcast episode, I dive into what it means to be "lonely," as well as the causes and consequences of loneliness, and provide ten different ways to deal with loneliness. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/loneliness-is-not-a-joke-here-are-10-ways-to-deal-with-it/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

People often ask me, 'How does making excuses impact intentional positive change in life?' In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” As cruel as that sounds, Franklin's words are closer to reality than we think. Until we stop making excuses, we will encounter consequences to living our lives with focus, purpose, and intentionality. Trust me when I say, making excuses is one of the worst things you can do if you desire to become your best self. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/how-to-stop-making-excuses/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

What I Discuss With Ari Wallach The question we're asking ourselves, and we've continuously been asking ourselves for 1000s of years, is "Who am I and why am I here?" Suppose you are living a life that now has a purpose for something bigger than yourself. In that case, the immediate payoff is that you are now finding that the things that you do and the interactions that you have with yourself, your own inner voice with other humans, the things that you consume, and the ways that you vote, are no longer just about you. We explore the following topics: What is a “futurist”? What are the foundational principles of the Longpath perspective? What Ari means when he says “short-termism” What is “transgenerational empathy”? What are a few examples of the Longpath perspective at work today? Who are the biggest offenders of short-termism? What is the payoff for planning for a future we won't be around to see?

Methylation is as essential to our bodies as breathing and is happening in our bodies and within our cells all of the time. Therefore, if you can give yourself the DNA methylations of a younger you, you can reset your biological aging process.

Why We Fail to Take Responsibility for Our Life w/John R. Miles EP 169
People often ask me, 'Why do we fail to take responsibility for our choices?' In the words of Jim Rohn, "Either you run the day, or the day runs you." This illustrates how essential it is for us to take charge of our habits or inadvertently allow our choices to dictate our life. When we fail to act, we allow fate to control our lives instead of us owning our destiny. As I discussed in last week's episode, it's why mediocre choices lead us to be average. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/why-we-fail-to-take-responsibility-for-our-life/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

In last week's episode , I argued that mediocrity achieved as an end result of all our best efforts is not bad. But, it is when we intentionally practice habits that lead to being mediocre. The truth is no one wants the title of being mediocre. Everyone desires to be unique, outstanding, and gifted. However, until you create an environment around yourself that fosters excellent choices, you will persist in making daily choices that make you average at best. --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/why-average-choices-lead-being-mediocre/ --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

Kara Robinson Chamberlain was 15 years old when she was approached by a man in her friend's front yard in Columbia, South Carolina. At first, the gentleman appeared friendly, but then he drew a gun, shoved it against her neck, and forced Kara into the back of his car into a storage bin. Over the next 18 hours, Kara was held and sexually assaulted before she miraculously escaped her capture. Kara's quick action and extensive information she provided law enforcement unveiled that her kidnapper was not only a pedophile but a serial killer who had murdered three other female victims in Virginia: 16-year-old Sofia Silva in 1996 and a year later, sisters 12-year-old Kati Lisk and 15-year-old Kristin Lisk. Kara's story is nothing short of remarkable. Not only did Kara Robinson Chamberlain heroically escape her kidnapper, but her bravery was instrumental in aiding the police in catching a serial killer before he could murder another victim.

How Do You Overcome the Culture of Exceptionalism? w/ John R. Miles EP 163
So many of us struggle with a sense of inadequacy because we are immersed in a culture of exceptionalism.

As a result, it inflicts people with chronic hopelessness and loneliness because they feel they can't settle for anything but being the best.

John R. Miles - why you must feel to heal and 6 ways you can do it. | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck) for up to 60% off. If you found this podcast, you are likely searching for how to heal your emotional pain of some sort. You may wonder how it is even possible. As I explain in the episode, yes—emotional healing is always possible if we make the deliberate choice to tackle our pain. I discuss why we often try to numb the pain instead of confronting it, and I provide six ways to approach that healing. The reality is that following the emotional pain you are healing from, you are forever changed. I realize that can feel scary, but it can also be incredibly freeing as you experience post-traumatic growth. --► Full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/why-you-must-feel-to-find-emotional-healing/ --► Subscribe to My YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283. *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

A belief is any cognitive notion that is held as accurate. It is the acceptance that something exists, even though its existence cannot be proved. This means that the potency of a belief is entirely dependent on a person’s choice to accept or reject it. Take, for example, two people with similar qualifications who are given $1000 to use for starting a new business. One of them believes they can start a business, profit, and earn thousands of dollars — a beneficial belief. In contrast, the other person believes $1,000 is too little to start anything of meaning and fails to start anything — a restricting belief.

Laurie Singer is a board-certified licensed marriage and family therapist in applied behavior analysis. Motivated by the tragic death of her son in the late 80s, she devoted her life to the field of mental health.

Laurie and I discuss how she developed the passion to compete in endurance challenges and what it was like for her to be indoctrinated into the Hall of Fame. The impact on her life from the death of her young son. Why does she believe that anyone who is stuck can become unstuck? How she develops plans that help individuals gain confidence by achieving their goals that they set for themselves. We discussed the strong scientific evidence and understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are highly interdependent how she helps those who suffered deeply from anxiety and its manifestations and so much more.

Dr. David Vago on Self Transcendence – How to Experience Personal Growth and Awakening Through Meditation and Meta Awareness
Dr. David Vago on self-transcendence - how to experience personal growth and awakening through meditation and meta-awareness | Brought to you by Babbel (https://babbel.com/passionstruck). David Vago, Ph.D., is on a mission to alleviate suffering and improve well-being through investigating connections between the mind, brain, and body. He is a Research Associate Professor and Director of the Contemplative Neuroscience and Mind-Body Research Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at Vanderbilt University. He is part of the faculty for the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology, and Inflammation. Dr. Vago maintains a research associate position in the Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and is also Research Lead for the mental health and well-being platform, Roundglass, and a Mind and Life Institute Fellow . Over one million people have viewed Dr. Vago's Ted Talk on self-transformation. How Self-Transcendence Impacts Your Self-Identity Self-transcendence is the idea that there is something to transcend the self as if the self is something that is created through time. Over time, you have certain thoughts and emotions that construct your self-identity. It is a clinical model of self-reification, right conditioning, and habit formation. It all leads to how we conceptualize our identity, our needs, wants, fears, expectations, attitudes, and values. It is how our whole worldview is constructed. And so what meditation does, is it allows you to create a distance with those thoughts to find your greatest peace.

The Science of Learning: What is it and How does it Work? EP 122 with John R. Miles
We all learn differently and understanding the science of learning helps us all uniquely learn better. And the more we know, the easier it is to learn and understand new things regardless of your profession. | Brought to you by Grammarly (https://grammarly.com/passionstruck) and Raycon (https://buyraycon.com/passionstruck). The science of learning is the ongoing process of information retention over time. Because our memory makes up the very framework through which we make sense of and take action within the present, its importance goes without saying. But how exactly does it work? I use the unique story of Dr. Siddharth Warrier to illustrate how we learn and why lifelong learning is so important.

Susan Cain on: Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, and How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls EP 121
Susan Cain — Bittersweet, the Happiness of the Melancholy, How Sorrow Creates the Union Between Souls | Brought to you by Grammarly and Raycon . Susan Cain is one of my favorite authors and completely changed the way I viewed myself and my own strengths. Susan is the author of the Quiet Journal , Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts , and Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking , which spent eight years on The New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 40 languages. Her new masterpiece, Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole, is available now . Susan’s first record-smashing TED Talk has been viewed more than 40 million times and was named by Bill Gates as one of his all-time favorite talks (and if you like that one, you should check out her most recent TED Talk with violinist Min Kym) . LinkedIn named her the top sixth influencer in the world, just behind Richard Branson and Melinda Gates. Susan partners with Malcolm Gladwell , Adam Grant , and Dan Pink to curate the Next Big Idea Club. They donate all of their proceeds to children’s literacy programs. Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make us Whole In her new book, Susan discusses why sadness and the happiness of melancholy are key to achieving self-transcendence and the union between souls. As with the majority of people, you’ve probably been taught your entire life to look at the positive side and be happy no matter what. While there is a place for optimism and looking at the bright side, by burying your melancholy and sadness, you may actually be doing yourself a terrible disservice.

How Do You Create Your Own Success? EP 120
All around us, people talk about success all the time and the repercussions of what it is and how it is achieved weigh heavily in society today. These definitions are thrust on us by how others perceive our success and how we define it for ourselves. As I've discussed in previous episodes, many people define success in materialistic ways such as earning a degree, buying a house, a car, or a yacht. Others believe it is determined by their career, awards, accolades, and recognition. And some define success as getting married and having a family. But have you ever thought that success is doing the things you love when you want to do them and with whom you want to do them with? Famous author and leadership coach Miles Munroe once said, "True success is not a project but a journey." Munroe summarizes that success is not achieved by a single event but by a succession of steps and actions. The quote illustrates that we are never to conclude that a person is unsuccessful simply because of temporary situations that do not fit into the general definition of success. In today's episode, I delve deep into the true meaning of success by examining the unique rags-to-riches success story of American businesswoman and Shark Tank celebrity investor Barbara Corcoran . Her example illustrates how you can achieve great things by defining success on your terms. We will also go into how you earn and measure true success.

Dr. Jannell MacAulay On: How to Create a Mindset of Winning EP 119
Dr. Jannell MacAulay is a pilot, commander, special operations consultant, international diplomat, TEDx speaker, and professional instructor. She is a combat veteran with 20 years of experience in the US Air Force. Dr. MacAulay was the first leader to introduce mindfulness as a proactive performance strategy within the United States military. About Today's Episode with Dr. Jannell MacAulay I sit down with Jannell to discuss her decision to go to the Air Force Academy. We discuss how she learned how to be her best self through her flight training and serving in combat and her most harrowing flight experience. We discussed what made her start to do mindfulness and why she began to introduce it to her different military assignments. We explore the difference between leadership styles. We explore the difference between somebody who believes that you can change and somebody who thinks you can’t? Why does she believe world-class people, in whatever they do, are paragons of passion. She goes into why she equates mindfulness to doing mental push-ups. We explore her relationship with Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, the training course they developed together, and more.

Why is Empathy Vital to Creating a Passion Struck Life? EP 118
President Barack Obama said, “The biggest problem we have in our society and the world right now is a lack of empathy. We are in great need of people being able to stand in somebody else’s shoes and see the world through their eyes.” The gap that President Obama alludes to is only growing more expansive as we continually become a society consumed by self-gratitude instead of focusing on ending the suffering of others. That's why it's so important we work at being empathetic. Luckily, we can. Empathy is a cornerstone for successful relationships, but it is a quality that has to be intentional. Most people like to feel understood, but the mark of maturity is in knowing how to demonstrate understanding. In the end, the knowledge you wish to receive becomes more likely essential adjustments that will help you become a more empathetic person and living life, passion struck.

However, by recognizing that we always have the freedom and power to choose how situations in life will affect us, we can rise above challenges and build healthy esteem and self-love for ourselves. Whenever we have the self-confidence to solve issues on the inside, we set ourselves up for success. In this episode, I will tell the inspiring story of Lizzie Velasquez and use her account to teach the things that do work so that you can apply them in your own life to get those lasting changes on the inside and create healthy self-esteem.

The Science and Traits that Promote Curiosity - John R. Miles EP 114
The majority of the novel discoveries and incredible innovations throughout history, from the printing press to airplanes to landing on the moon, all have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. The instinct to pursue new knowledge and adventures and explore untried possibilities is a fundamental human characteristic vital to our personal development. When our curiosity is activated, we think more profoundly and rationally about decisions and develop more creative solutions. But what is the science behind curiosity, what are its advantages, and how can we create it in our own life. All questions we will answer in this episode on the science and traits that promote curiosity.

The Key to Enjoying a Rewarding Life is Shared Experiences EP 112
Noel Gallager said, "I don't live to work; I work to live." I first heard this expression when I was living in Spain, and a Spanish friend told me that, "you Americans live to work, while we Spaniards work to live." As I look back, I should have listened closer to my friend's wise words because they are the keys to living a rewarding life. In this episode, I discuss the story of Kai-Fu Lee and the experiences of Australian author Bronnie Ware. I use these stories to discuss why experiences are the keys to enjoying a rewarding life, not the pursuit of possessions. I describe the scientific benefits of experiences and how you can relate this to your own journey of intentionality. You work to live, not live to work. Work on what brings you happiness. The tools from today's episode ought to be helpful for anyone looking to understand how to create a rewarding life. Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck .

Michael Anthony On: Take Daily Action to Improve Your Life EP 111
Michael Anthony is the author of the best-selling book Think Unbroken and is a coach, mentor, and educator for adult survivors of child abuse. Michaels spends his time helping other survivors get out of "The Vortex" to become the hero of their own story and take their life back. Michael hosts the Think Unbroken podcast, teaches at Think Unbroken Academy, and is on a mission to create change in the world. John R. Miles sits down with Michael Anthony to talk about how he was born to a hyper-abusive drug addict mother who cut his finger off at four years old, a stepfather you pray you never have, and a racist grandmother that pushed him into an identity crisis. By the time he was 9, his family was in poverty and often homeless, while being a Mormon Church member. At twelve, he was adopted by his grandmother and quickly turned to drugs and alcohol to survive the continuing abuse. Michael discusses how he found success in Corporate America in his early twenties. However, success only made things worse. Michael was morbidly obese, high and drunk daily, and ultimately self-sabotaging everything around him. We discover how he found self-love, and he altered the course of his life. Michael provides advice on how you too can take daily action to improve your life. Thank you to our sponsors: MAGIC MIND. Get 20% off https://magicmind.co/passionstruck ; use code passionstruck.

Strengthening Your Relationship With Your Best Self - John R. Miles EP 110
Over the years, I have come to a much deeper connection with myself. It is the most important relationship I can have—the one true constant in my life. I have learned that everything that happens in my life for good or bad is based on my reflection with myself and becoming my greatest self. In this episode, I tell a parable to illustrate why your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything. I then use this example to discuss how to discover your best self, grow into the best version of yourself, and strengthen your relationship with your best self. All that we do in life is a testimony to our inner self and our relationship with ourselves. The people you impact or don't, the job you love or don't, those in your life you love or don't, the acts of service you do or don't, are all created by the relationship we have with ourselves.

The Science of Healthy Habits - How to Make Habits Stick EP 108
In this episode, I tell the story of Kieran Behan and, through his account, review the science of creating healthy habits, unhealthy habit elimination, and how the process of neuroplasticity (brain rewiring) facilitates habit formation. I describe the role of the prefrontal cortex, which is grounded in the neuroscience of brain states and our ability to insert conscious effort, intention, and thought into the process. I also discuss neuroplasticity, also known as neural plasticity, or brain plasticity, and the neural networks' ability to change through growth and reorganization. I then dive into how you create healthy habits and what makes habits stick using gymnastics and Kieran's story to help illustrate the points. I offer seven suggestions based on science that should help anyone create better habits and eliminate bad habits for fitness, relationships, school, career, and more--indeed, becoming empowered in the task of creating meaningful, prosperous, and productive habits. Once the habit formation cycle is formed, you can confidently creep closer and closer to your goals. Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck Thank you to our sponsors: MAGIC MIND.

Jen Bricker-Bauer On: Everything is Possible EP 107
Jen Bricker-Bauer is an aerialist, motivational speaker, and New York Times, bestselling author. Born without legs, Jen's biological parents left her at the hospital, destined for a life of hardship. However, the hand of God brought her an amazing adoptive family, who taught her that everything is possible. As a child, Jen was obsessed with gymnastics, and her idol was gold medalist Dominique Moceanu. In fact, watching Dominique on TV, helped inspire Jen to start competing herself. Seemingly against all odds, Jen competed against able-bodied athletes and became a State Champion in power tumbling. As part of her fantastic story and a twist of fate, Jen later learned that her childhood gymnastics idol, Dominique Moceanu, was actually her biological sister. John R. Miles sits down with Jen Bricker-Bauer to talk about why she never says the word "can't" and how she has come to believe that everything is possible if you set your mind to it. You learn that you can achieve everything you've dreamed of when you unlock your purpose and create an intentional life. Jen discusses why she is doing everything she can to spread inspiration and joy throughout the world and is following her calling to teach others they can do anything they put their minds to achieving.

I am currently reading The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, and one of my favorite quotes from him is, "find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." Joy is such a powerful compass. It is a gift that actually helps us navigate the complex demands that vie for our attention. It invites us to slow down, discover what is most important to us and those around us and helps us decide in ways our ego, pride, fear, or sense of scarcity could never do. And, I think there is so much truth in that quote. When you use joy as your compass, it may not always guide you to the most comfortable, popular, or painless decisions. The power of Joy is more profound than that. Through joy, you can transcend to places where life can happen intentionally, and you can become the best version of yourself.

She is also a life coach. In 2018, Schutt gave a TEDx talk, "A Grief Casserole." Kate Schutt is the rarest of combinations… brilliance and humility, wisdom and curiosity, creativity and intellect.

Where You Invest Your Love You Invest Your Life EP 104
"In these bodies, we will live. In these bodies, we will die. And where you invest your love, you invest your life." - Mumford & Sons. This is one of the most potent lyrics the band has ever written, inspiring this podcast episode. I believe this quote is about self-love and finding out about yourself and who you are. When we learn to love ourselves, we also express love to others more powerfully and intentionally. You can alter the way you see things, and it is your self-love that helps you become the best version of yourself. In this episode, I take this lyric and define what self-love is and why it is essential. I explore the differences between healthy and unhealthy self-love and provide several examples of self-love that you can recognize in your own life. I use the stories of Asiya and Melissa to illustrate how they overcame their situations to find self-love and the change that it brought about. I then go into three ways to learn self-love and why it can be challenging. Lastly, I unpack five habits you can implement to encourage self-love and my final thoughts. Thank you for listening to this Passion Struck Podcast episode on how to self-love yourself.

Why the way you choose to wake up and be positive about your outlook is up to you to create. How the Failure to make choices is a choice. You're living this life and your image and all of the things that go along with that. And it's not easy to wake up one day and say, you know, hey, this isn't actually what I want to be doing. And not everyone's going to like that. And not everyone's going to like the new version of you. Or maybe you make a change.

We may disagree, but if we can't understand where another person is coming from we can at least have a dialog. When our knee-jerk reaction is to dismiss without seeking to learn, it is ego getting in the way.

Saskia Lightstar On How To Create Our Best Self EP 48
Saskia Lightstar thought she was living it big when she enjoyed the party girl lifestyle in South Africa. It turns out it was her low point, as she dealt with eating disorders and self-image issues. Then her biggest test came when she learned she had cancer. It was at that point after beating breast cancer she learned the true meaning of how to create our best self. It starts with self-love and kindness. Like this? Please subscribe, and join me on my new platform for personal development: https://passionstruck.com/ . In this powerful Passion Struck podcast interview, John R. Miles and Saskia Lightstar discuss creating our best selves. For Saskia, it started by her understanding her self-narrative and that it needed to change. Why she considers herself a cancer misfit, and how that has completely changed her outlook on life. Creating Our Best Self In 2013, following her treatment for breast cancer, Saskia found that she was struggling to adapt to her new life. For her, the emotions that were put aside during her breast cancer treatment returned, and she felt stuck in a no man's land, overwhelmed with remorse, fear, and sadness. Saskia Lightstar felt like a cancer misfit, healed physically but still struggling mentally and emotionally with the trauma she'd endured. Saskia fell into a deep, deep depression. After cancer, she would try to look up the topic of life after treatment or support after cancer treatment, and she couldn't find anything. There's so much information when you're diagnosed, and you're going through it, and then suddenly, just because you're finished the treatment, it's like you're done. It was a good two or three years that she was quite a lost soul. And it was that rock bottom. For Saskia, that made her think, "Okay, you know what, I need to find a way out of this." And that's where her journey really began. Her book, The Cancer Misfit , is to catch survivors and take them to that bit when you don't know what's next, how you're feeling, or who you are anymore. That's why She is dedicating her life to helping other cancer survivors, so they don't go through the same misery as she did. Hot to Create Our Best Self Show Notes Her party girl superficial life Why do we self numb Learning she has cancer How she learned to look within Why she wrote the Cancer Misfit Discovering you can heal your life Louise Hay mirror work Why she loves boundaries Expecting instant gratification How she connected to herself What it means to be kind Her belief in moderation Why there is no normal after cancer ENGAGE SASKIA LIGHTSTAR *Website: www.saskialightstar.com *Book: https://www.goodreads.co

How to Resolve Conflict in 5 Steps w/ John R. Miles EP 43
Just like “death and taxes,” conflict is inevitable! Why? Because no two individuals have the same needs and concerns. That is why it is essential to understand how to resolve conflict in 5 steps. Like this? Please subscribe, and join me on my new platform for personal development: https://passionstruck.com/ . In this powerful Momentum Friday Episode, John R. Miles discusses unhealthy vs. healthy conflict resolution and understanding the different conflict management styles. Conflict, or more specifically, interpersonal conflict, is a fact of life and organizational life. It often emerges when people are stressed, for example, when there are changes on the horizon or when everyone is under pressure because of a looming deadline. However, conflict can also arise in relationships and situations outside work. How to Resolve Conflict in a Healthy Way But there is a difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict. Without conflict, we don’t have robust relationships, create a future vision, and don’t move the needle. But unhealthy conflict ends up eating away at trust and shared values. That is why diplomacy is so important to bringing about healthy conflict management. According to the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI), used by human resource (HR) professionals worldwide, there are five major styles to resolve conflict—collaborating, competing, avoiding, accommodating, and compromising. Knowing when and how to use each style can help resolve conflict and improve the working environment or interpersonal relationships.

Abigail Barnes On: Turn Your Time Into Productivity EP 38
Do you know how to turn your time into productivity? This search for a more productive life has led to a particular miscategorization about what time management is and how it relates to productivity-- the simple truth is that it is far more than simply having a to-do list and checking this off of it. The most productive people do not concentrate on doing more things. This is actually the opposite of being productive. If you really want to be effective, you've got to make a point of doing the right things with your time. This starts by realizing It's Your Time. Like this?

It begs the question, why are we all so obsessed with productivity?

Charles P. Smith On Why We Need To Stop Veteran Suicide Rates EP 37
According to the 2020 National Veterans Suicide Prevention Annual report, suicide rates continue to increase in the U.S. adult population. There is also a growing correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide risk. In this episode of the Passion Struck Podcast, John R. Miles interviews Charles P. Smith on the growing suicide rate among veterans, active-duty military members, and the general population. Charles served 10 years as a Marine Corps officer. Through his TedX, viewed by over 2 million, and this podcast, he is trying to bring a voice to the voiceless. We discuss how mental illness is the same if not more important as physical health, yet it is viewed completely differently. If someone's mental health isn't there, we need to talk about it. This is a subject that we need to focus on in this growing dilemma that seems to be ignored by the highest levels of the military. Charles provides shocking information that since September 11th, there have been over 115,000 veterans who have taken their lives through suicide. This number was fact check by the TedX team. The reality is that if you include active duty members, it is over 138,000 - a 20:1 ratio of suicides in the military community compared to those who lost their lives in combat. We also discuss these statistics on why we need to focus more on suicide rates at the highest levels of the military and government. And the growing link between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates. Statistics on suicide rates It is a staggering statistic that 46,510 American adults died by suicide in 2018, compared with 31,610 in 2005. The average rose from 86.6 per day in 2005 to 124.4 in 2017 and 127.4 in 2018. That is a 47.1% increase, and the rate of suicides in veterans is 1.5x that of the general population. Across the nation, the number of suicide deaths has been rising since the turn of the millennium. Overall, from 2005 to 2018, the age- and sex-adjusted suicide rates among Veterans were higher and rose faster than those among non-Veteran U.S. adults. Reports: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2020/11/12/suicide-rate-among-veterans-up-again-slightly-despite-focus-on-prevention-efforts/ https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/docs/data-sheets/2020/2020-National-Veteran-Suicide-Prevention-Annual-Report-11-2020-508.pdf Post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide rates The National Center for PTSD 2017 report found an association between post-traumatic stress disorder and suicide.

New Interviews with the World's GREATEST high achievers will be posted every Tuesday with a Momentum Friday inspirational message! Did you know that all molecules, whether they are living or not, vibrate at a specific frequency? Sound, light, physical objects, plants, animals, colors, thoughts, and emotions can carry, transmit, and absorb vibrational energy.

When you experience something positive, your physical body vibrates and radiates vibrational energy at a higher level. As we see in quantum physics, like attracts like, so when you vibrate at a higher frequency, you are opening yourself up to attracting more high-vibrational positivity into your life. Learn how you too can apply the law of attraction to fast-track your journey to becoming passion-struck. Enjoy!! Quotes from the show about how you can apply the law of attraction "If you are experiencing negativity in your life and constant thoughts of negativity, then what the universe is going to give you is more negativity." "When you can master the law of attraction. You can utilize your memories, your thoughts, your actions, your mindset to take on those things in your life that you would like to achieve." "The law of attraction says that you will attract those things in your life that match your values and your emotional state." "When your mind is on fixed mindset, negative outcomes, doom, and gloom, what do you think you're going to get in your life? -- more and more of the same." -Follow Passion Struck on Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/passion_struck_podcast -- Combat veteran, multi-industry CEO, and Author John R.

He mentors new digital teams with the BCDevExchange and teaches digital leadership to executives. Before this, Sid has served for 25 years in the Canadian Armed Forces. We start this show with Sid sharing a life-changing incident that sparked his interest in agile methodology. In 2002, when Sid was stationed aboard a Canadian destroyer in the Persian Gulf near Afghanistan, Canadians' training exercise was wrongly deciphered as a threat by an American F-16 bomber. The F-16 pilot decided to retaliate, and many innocent lives were lost in the aftermath. The Canadian and American leaders were quick to take responsibility and collaborated closely to ensure there was no repeat of such unfortunate incidents. This incident was also the pivot point that made Sid go agile. “How can leaders develop and introduce work procedures that create bigger and more frequent success opportunities across the board?” wondered Sid. You will learn the importance of being a true “Servant Leader” or Leader Gardener” who can recognize the weakest signals from team employees to result in a truly collaborative approach. As a public safety transformational specialist, Sid emphasizes the importance of a team-driven work approach. We also compare and contrast the waterfall approach to the agile approach. And reveal how a shift towards agile can help organizations fail cheap and pivot quickly. You will also learn how the agile methodology allows the government to rope in private sector enterprises for top-secret projects. Enjoy! Question That I Ask In Today’s Show Why did you decide to get educated in the Agile Methodology? What are some of the major obstacles in the digital transformation drive?

How Shark Tank Changed Her Life to Overcome Personal Trauma w/ Tereson Dupuy EP 16
Ever wondered what sets successful entrepreneurs apart? And how they manage to overcome business and mental health challenges as they go about chasing their big goals? In today’s show, we interview FuzziBunz founder and Shark Tank participant, Tereson Dupuy shares with her distilled wisdom on entrepreneurship, persistence, and mental health. She discusses how Shark Tank changed her life. Growing up in New Orleans, Tereson was always driven and keen to make her own mark. But, unfortunately for her, she had to deal with severe trauma issues in her childhood years. Being an adopted child and having a serial killer as a next-door neighbor compounded her mental health issues, and Tereson ended up a full-blown alcoholic by the time she was 14. Tereson got her big idea for FuzziBunz when she could not find good and affordable diapers for her autistic son, who was prone to skin rashes. While her sewing skills came in handy, Tereson went ahead with her business even though she had no prior experience with production or branding. FuzziBunz was a huge hit as the product filled a market gap while addressing some big pain points. Even though Tereson tasted commercial success, she found it difficult to draw boundaries and fend off those eager to take advantage of her. She talks about how other companies blatantly copied her product design. And, how after 12 years of running her business successfully, she started facing heated competition from her Chinese counterparts. “Tereson, the problem is you.” At this juncture, Tereson got an opportunity to appear on Shark Tank. The sharks were brutal in their assessment and concluded that the biggest problem with Tereson’s business was Tereson herself. Six months after appearing on Shark Tank, Tereson exited her business completely. And then she started working on setting her life back in order. Tereson was on the verge of launching another retail product. But then covid struck. And then, tragically, her son died from suicide. Currently, Tereson has decided to put entrepreneurship in the backseat as she has gotten a dream opportunity to help out women in India. She is in a happy space as she savors the opportunity to work with some incredible people. As a huge proponent of mental well-being, she talks about “exorcising” your ego and stepping into the spiritual. You will learn why you need to let go and surrender to be at peace with yourself. Enjoy! Questions That I Ask On This Show What was life like for you when you were growing up? What made you get on Shark Tank? What words of wisdom do you have for those who are facing stigmas? Surrender before you heal – can you explain this? And so mu

And how she applied the Personal Agility methodology to unlock her hidden potential and take control of her life. Sharon has been cooking since the age of nine, and she always harbored this secret desire to be a chef and have her own cooking show. But then life happened. At one point in time, Sharon was a single mother, working five jobs, struggling to take care of her five kids. In November 2017, at the age of 54, she decided to leap of faith, and she quit her job as the staffing director of a health care agency. As fate would have it, a chance encounter with Maria Maratelli opened up a world of opportunity for Sharon. They got talking, and Sharon confided in her aspirations to start her YouTube cooking channel. Three days hence, as promised, Maria went over to Sharon’s house to help shoot her first-ever YouTube video. The rest, as they say, is history. “How did things start falling in place all of a sudden for Sharon?” you may ask. Sharon’s success is no fluke. Rather, it is the result of taking some very intentional steps and using personal agility. You will learn how having Maria as a coach helped Sharon let go of the long-held beliefs that held her back.

Why Doing The Right Thing Is Hard w/John R. Miles EP 13
What would you do if you are at the crossroads of your life where you have the option of taking the harder right or, the easier wrong? On today’s show, John shares a deeply personal story where he chose the more difficult, harder path at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. Additionally, you will learn the Three Things that will help you to make similarly difficult decisions. Back in military school, John found himself in the midst of a high-profile cheating scandal. The answers for the Naval Academy electrical engineering exam were leaked. This impacted hundreds of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. John was a member of the brigade honor committee when this took place and tells his very personal story about what happened. When the Superintendent mishandled the crisis, it launched an investigation by the Baltimore Sun and the Navy Inspector General. John was called upon by the Secretary of Navy and even had legal reps defending his innocence when the Superindent tried to make him the scapegoat. And so, at this point, John had the option of caving in or doing what was ethically and morally correct. John decided to take the harder right, even at the risk of jeopardizing his entire career. History is replete with examples of stellar individuals who always chose the harder right – even in the face of utmost adversity. John gives the example of Gandhi, who spearheaded India’s freedom struggle. This timid and seemingly “unremarkable” man fought racial injustice in South Africa before helming the Quit India Movement that forced the British out of India. Gandhi could NOT have freed millions of people from colonialism and oppression without taking the harder path, again and again. On today’s show, you will learn the Three Things to help you do the right thing. You will learn that - It is NOT about your ego – rather it is about integrity and making decisions that you know in your heart are the right ones. It is NOT a decision that you make in haste – think about the long-term repercussions and how your decision affects those around you. Tune in for some inspiration!

Ever wondered how giant companies like Dell and Lowe’s face and overcome some of their biggest challenges? On today’s show, we interview Giles Stewart , a former Fortune 500 Executive who shares with us his wisdom on culture, empowerment, passion, retirement, and how future leaders can bring about positive change. Giles first came in touch with John when they joined forces to help Lowe’s recover from the worst cybersecurity attack in the history of the retail industry. You will learn how John, Giles, and the entire IT department at Lowe’s worked in a collaborative manner to create a new state-of-the-art command center. In this segment of the show, you will get some important lessons in execution, empowerment, and creating a long-term vision. In 2013, Giles moved on to another iconic company, Dell. Here, Giles shares how working at Dell was a totally different experience compared to the more structured operations at Lowe’s. While Giles was employed at Dell, the company grew at a blistering pace via the acquisitions route as it evolved from a hardware company to a software and services company. You will get a peek into the acquisition’s playbook used by large organizations and learn how they overcome their cultural differences upon assimilation. Feeling the need to make a bigger impact, Giles left Dell to work in a smaller organization, Acelity. When Giles joined, his team was in complete shambles, and morale was at an all-time low. You will learn how Giles helped create his team’s new identity using an honest, no-bullshit, and refreshingly fresh approach. Having retired from professional life, Giles has found his passion once again as he spends his day’s rowing and blogging.

A huge fitness enthusiast, Sindy was training for Ironman Canada when she felt a few sharp abdominal and back pains. Further investigations revealed that she had pancreatic cancer – a disease with an average life expectancy of just 6 months. After going through Whipple surgery where “they removed her gall bladder, bile duct, duodenum, bottom third of stomach and half the pancreas,” Sindy went through 18 rounds of IV chemo, 28 days of radiation, and a month of oral chemo. While she was going through her treatment, she decided to do what any rational person would. Sindy decided to participate in Ironman Canada! The Ironman features a 3.9 km swim,180 km bike ride, and then a 42 km marathon, to put things in perspective. So, in August 2013, Sindy became the only pancreatic cancer survivor to finish an Ironman. In the process, she also raised thousands of dollars and gave hope to millions worldwide. How do you retain a positive mindset even when your future looks bleak, and all odds are stacked against you? Tune in and get inspired! How Sindy survived pancreatic cancer – one of the deadliest forms of the disease with a less than 5% survival rate How she finished the Ironman while I was undergoing chemotherapy How she retained a positive mindset even when all odds were stacked against me What she recommends to other growth seekers in how to take control of their lives And so much more… Questions that I Ask In This Show What was your life like before the cancer diagnosis?

Applying Personal Agility to Unlock Your Passion w/Maria Matarelli EP 6
Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity. In today’s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management – which was then an unknown field with very few experts. Maria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise. So, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase. This win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules. After some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria’s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India. Agile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out. Enjoy!
