SF #236 – Learning Curves Ahead

February 16, 2016 by Success Freaks

Mordant & 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.

Success Freaks #97 – The Family Business

May 17, 2013 by Success Freaks

Often, in days of yore, marriages were arranged and families were brought together for the purpose of uniting countries, tribes, and wealth. It was business. Now, more often, we come together for love. People are surprised to find that, to have a successful relationship—whether it be married with children or just practicing—you must quickly master the Family Business

Both Mordant & McFall have been going through some changes in their households and way of living. McFall has a new baby (his fourth)—which means sleeping schedules are different, there are more mouths to feed, and finances have taken a turn. Mordant has a new girlfriend—which means sleeping schedules are different, there are more mouths to feed, and finances have taken a turn. For these and other reasons, they have decided to look into the business of having a family and what all that might mean.

Join them in exploring the meaning of Bills, Babies, & Budgets. In this time of couples coming together, both of you must look at where you are (Bills), where you’re going (Babies and/or other creations you will birth), and how you get there (Budgets). Mordant & McFall even discus leisure time in the segment covering dating on a budget—enjoy!
