    Ep 180: Curiosity Killed The Cat
    Jun 30 2026
    Fear is a foundational driver of shutting down curiosity. It is natural for our human minds to inquire about the unknown. Why am I feeling this way? Why are they reacting that way? Such basic questions often lead to some form of action, such as asking the person one more deep question. We tend to stop engaging when things get uncomfortable. Others also attempt to stop our engagement because they are uncomfortable. Censorship of speech is a prime example. At what point do you stop acting on your curiosity? Shutting down inspiration Being genuinely engaged and curious about others’ lives It’s always interesting when someone isn’t willing to go into depth Something’s dying when we don’t allow the curiosity to flow Are you ebbing and flowing with the person you’re in conversation with? How often are we being curious with ourself? Is your curiosity coming from genuine inspiration or fear? What are we projecting onto the situation? Why is it worth it to stay curious in the moment? ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 179: Money Doesn't Grow On Trees
    Jun 23 2026
    The money game is built on a foundational belief in scarcity, a zero-sum game. Disempowerment is a natural byproduct of this game, whether the player has a lot of money or a little, because a scarcity mindset leaks into all areas of life. The money game is compelling and unavoidable, fortunately or unfortunately. How much control does money have over you? What does it feel like? What’s your relationship to it? Blocking endless possibility The zero-sum game is exhausting We can’t print money, so then what? Gratitude doesn’t grow on trees Compounding scarcity Don’t waste food We don’t need to reinforce scarcity ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 178: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
    Jun 16 2026
    Most of us have multiple examples in our lives of when we “talked the talk” but did not “walk the walk”. This exhibits hypocrisy, lack of integrity, and a deep internal conflict. For those who value modeling and leading by example, closing the gap of our internal conflict is a confronting and beautiful journey. How do you want to be witnessed in this life? What are the core values that drive you towards your higher self? As we heal our inner conflict, our interaction with the external world follows suit. Less hypocrisy, more integrity, more alignment everywhere. That’s a pretty powerful way to live! Being in integrity with doing what you say The common “We should do it” talk You can’t get what people have unless you’ve done what they’ve done How do I want to be witnessed in this life? Working on being more honest and transparent The struggle of making healthier food choices Where are you choosing from? ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

However, it is up to us to train our minds to identify the opportunities and to integrate our hearts in the process.

    Ep 176: Don't Rock The Boat
    Jun 2 2026
    There are many positives and negatives to following the status quo. To some extent, we all rock the boat. However, are we rocking the boat too much or not enough? Most of us probably don’t rock the boat enough. This is a deeply personal journey that requires listening to our intuition and having the courage to act. Without the curiosity to question everything and seek alignment in all areas of our lives, we will settle for a life that does not meet our highest potential. The Japanese conformist cultural upbringing Challenging the status quo Understand where our desire to rock the boat comes from Negatives to rocking the boat The stakes are high The depth of relationships is revealed Positives to rocking the boat Living from your truth ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 175: Keep Curiosity Alive!
    May 26 2026
    The purity of curiosity leads us into the realm of possibility and connection. With curiosity comes an inherent humility and a willingness to change our perspectives. Unfortunately, much of our curiosity is stifled at a young age by pressure to get it right rather than being encouraged to make mistakes. This plays right into the hands of the fearful ego by making assumptions and creating labels for everyone and everything in our lives. Thus, further stifling pure curiosity. Doing curiosity vs. being curious We’re trained to shut down curiosity We think we know more than we actually do We use labels to feel safe Being aware of my ego Practicing open-mindedness and open-heartedness Curiosity is limited by how open your heart is ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 174: What Outshines Your Suffering?
    May 19 2026
    Suffering generally has a disempowering tone. In the middle of disappointment or displeasure, doubt and other disempowering thoughts tend to appear more often. It does not feel good when we are in the middle of suffering and pain. So, we try to avoid it with a myriad of coping mechanisms. Obviously, we are just perpetuating the suffering and the coping mechanisms. However, we can shift our relationship to suffering. This requires extremely deep clarity of what lights us up and is worth suffering for. Pattern of suffering If there’s an end goal, suffering is important Shifting relationship to suffering The clarity to ask for support Being aware of the choice We’re in a “feel-good” time Instinct towards coping mechanisms Unpacking suffering from childhood Suffering that comes with shifting dreams What are you willing to suffer for? ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi
