• Clear the Clutter, Clear Your Mind: What Marie Kondo and The Minimalists Can Teach Us
    Jun 21 2026

    Does your stuff spark joy — or just stress? In this episode, we dig into two of the biggest names in the decluttering world: Marie Kondo and her KonMari Method, and Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, the duo behind The Minimalists. We talk through what these approaches actually look like in practice, and why so many people find that simplifying their physical space ends up simplifying their mental space too. Whether you're staring down an overstuffed closet or just feeling weighed down by "stuff" in general, this conversation offers some practical, encouraging ways to start letting go.

  • The Upside of AI: Stories of Impact You Haven't Heard
    Jun 14 2026

    In our last episode, we dug into the fears and unanswered questions surrounding artificial intelligence. This time, we're flipping the script.

    AI isn't just something happening in research labs or making headlines for the wrong reasons. It's already quietly improving everyday life. In this episode, we explore the real, tangible ways AI is making the world better: freeing people from repetitive, time-consuming tasks; helping doctors transcribe patient notes automatically so they can spend more time actually caring for the people in front of them; and sorting through massive amounts of data to predict weather, ease traffic congestion, and untangle supply chain headaches before they become bigger problems.

    These aren't far-off promises, they're happening right now, often behind the scenes. Tune in for the stories of impact you probably haven't heard, and a fresh perspective on what AI can do when it's working for us.

  • Book Summary: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, Part One
    May 10 2026

    Life moves pretty fast, according to both Ferris Bueller and author John Mark Comer in his 2019 book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. We're taking a leisurely walk through this book because there is so much to slowly and deliberately digest! Join us as we discuss part one, "The Problem," where we dive into how our hurried, busy lives are stifling our spiritual lives. This series will be especially relevant to followers of Jesus Christ, but we believe Comer has a lot to teach all of us about the hurry epidemic, busyness and distractions.

  • The Power of Accountability
    Apr 27 2026

    Some studies have shown that meeting with an accountability partner increases your likelihood of reaching a specific goal to 95%! That's an even higher likelihood than simply writing down your goals and reading them every day. Being accountable to someone else adds that extra nudge to work for what you say you want. In today's episode we talk about the power of Mastermind groups to hold us accountable and cheer us on.

    Mentioned in this episode: The CHM Collective, Reciprocity Circles, and the O.G. personal development guru Napoleon Hill
