Success Freaks #155 – Change In the Now

by

With Special Guest Bishop Jim Swilley

With so many Changes happening day-to-day, it’s difficult to keep up with what’s going on in your life – let alone everyone else’s.  What happens when the dream you once held so tightly onto morphs into…something else?  What if it’s worse?  What if it’s better?  What if it works out, but it looks nothing like what you were hoping/praying/longing for it to be?  How can you divorce yourself from the goals you’ve been married to for so long?  Doesn’t that mean turning your back on everything you’ve been standing for?  Won’t that make you…a failure!?

Mordant & McFall invite Bish In the Now & Metron’s own Jim Swilley back to Success Freaks for a candid discussion about what it means to maintain an attitude of non-attachment.  By advancing to the rear (or left or right), you finally relax that chokehold you’ve have on the way you thought things should turn out.  Instead, you  achieve your success by adapting, bending like reed, and Rolling with the Changes.

Success Freaks #153 – Change is the Only Constant

by

“Change is the only constant in life.”  ~Heraclitus~

Just when you get used to something – a job, relationship, a certain age – things flip-flop around and you are forced to “Roll With the Changes.”  Embrace the fact that Change is a big and necessary part of your life.  It forces you to adapt/grow/evolve/get off the couch.  Once you learn this, those formally annoying changes become an exciting part of the adventure that will enrich your life.  Though not always easy, it doesn’t have to be a drag.  You might as well lean in and grow with it – for your changes are a-comin’.

This episode of Success Freaks brings Mordant & McFall to more changes of their own, including more tweaking of their format – the better to entertain & edify you with.  Included is a segment dedicated to answering the listener question: “How do you get rid of toxic people in your life when you are toxic to yourself sometimes?”  Check out the madcap energy as the Level Up Guys enjoy a rare moment of recording in the same space.

Success Freaks #95 – Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch

by

Tonight’s Success Freaks episode delves into remaining open to the lessons Life is throwing at you.  Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch is about remaining ever ready to grow and learn, quickly if at all possible, from those uncomfortable situations we all face throughout our day-to-day sojourn on this rock we call Earth.

Whilst juggling the broadcast from two different locales – this time, Mordant from the Bear’s Den Studio and Charles at the hospital, bringing home the newborn Baby Zoe – the Success Freaks share some of their own ups & downs and how they’ve dealt with & grown from them.  Hop in and enjoy “The Fast and The Furious” ride that goes along with people opening up their lives for inspection.  As always, your Success Freaks remain vulnerable so that others might read the “American Graffiti” on the wall, sharing life lessons learned and showing others how to become a quick study on Life’s Highway, the better to make sure the tough lessons are “Gone in 60 Seconds.”
