In this episode, we discuss polarity in relationships—the masculine and feminine energy that pulls us together or pushes apart. According to some, this energy can be increased or decreased within ourselves—or our partner— to ignite or tamp connection. Intrigued? I was. And based on anecdotal evidence, I tend to think it's worth exploring. Remember check this and other episodes out on YouTube!

The term “confidence” is thrown around as the panacea for all self-improvement but without any definition or guidance on how to tap it—until now. In this episode, we crack the confidence code and discuss four switches to blast your “walk-up” song anytime you need it. Find all that and more in this episode, and don’t forget to rate and review us! This episode is also available on YouTube, so go check it out!

Mastering persuasion, conversations—or anything—starts with understanding and defining your purpose. In this program, we discuss what that means, distinguish between purpose and goals, and talk about the differences between the facts and stories driving our conversation success. This is a follow-up episode to The Persuasion Switch episode. That episode, like this one, is a must-listen and provides a primer on purpose and outlines the other five P.E.O.P.L.E skills (the secret sauce to the art of persuasion and mastering all conversations).

In the program, we put the common platitudes aside, as we dig deeper to two sources of appreciation: pausing to feel the moment—even when it's less than desirable— and thoughtfully reflecting on the past—particularly that which, when experienced, hardly left us with a feeling of being thankful.

That said, feel some love for listening—thank you. Stay tuned with us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_switch_oa_50?igshid=MjEwN2IyYWYwYw==

Although a sensitive issue for many, the existence of God seems to be the singular question for all. This episode is a primer for an upcoming series on God, religion, faith, and the galaxies that swirl around it. Much like everything else that's done here, we're jumping into the lab of life to explore hard questions, discuss perspectives and invoke a space for real dialogue—surveying the spectrum between the tenets of major practices (e.g. Christianity, Buddhism) and the philosophies offered from secular perspectives (e.g., Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins). Listen to this primer to learn more about it.
