SF #236 – Learning Curves Ahead

by

SF #236 - Warning! Learning Curves Ahead - ALBUM ART-ARMordant & McFall discuss how members of our inner circle are the ones who take the brunt of our learning curves. They see what seems like hypocrisy, get the religious anger of our failings as we learn, and hopefully stay strong to the other side.  Learning is the most dangerous game of all – even for those watching from the sidelines.

Mordant adopts a country twang while Charles asks if “you have seen a whole new world?” after listening to the prior two episodes.  The gang reminds us how they are battling in the trenches with us.  We all have to adapt to the learning curve of life and realize our inner circle is going to take the brunt of it while we struggle for air.  To counter this, we all need to work on communicating and “adulting” effectively.  You will get some relationship advice along the way as well as being reminded that time is precious.  It’s time to cut yourself some slack and create space for riding out the learning curve.

SF #235 - The Follow-Me Lifestyle - ALBUM ART-ARMordant & McFall tackle being transparent by talking about the new phase that they have entered in their careers and lives.  “Follow Me” means trusting into the unknown of what’s next while at the same time having enough strength to show others the way.

SF #234 – Naughty or Nice: Which List Do You Live By?

by

SF #234 - Naughty or Nice... Which List Do You Live By - ALBUM ART-ARMordant & McFall discuss the concept of defining your life by what’s wrong in it, “Naughty,” or what is going right, “Nice.”  This extends beyond the now moment into how you see yourself.  Out of that is how you find the paths to where you are heading.

On this episode of Success Freaks, we start off counting our adventures and discuss the meaning of this week’s title.  In segment two, we remind you that it’s not about behavior but how you see yourself… Naughty vs. Nice.  Charles delves a bit deeper into the meaning of lists and how they affect your life.  In the Level Up section… Charles says, “Acknowledging that times are tough doesn’t mean that you’re dwelling on the Negative.”  Mordant says, “Good things lie on the other end of a pain in the ass!”  And finally in On Beyond, we share our thoughts on Social Media and how it affects your life.
