This goes out to you if mending a relationship has been on your mind lately. It is for many of us.

Re-releasing this episode is my small gift to you, in hopes you feel inspired to reconnect or reengage with someone you love this holiday season.

Maybe for you, that’s family.

And Dr. Jeff is exactly that. He’s my oldest brother, a prolific author, a deeply respected speaker and leader, and a recent cancer survivor.

Though our worldviews are often opposing, what we share is important – VALUES. During our heartfelt (and sometimes difficult) conversation, we share with you how we have learned to challenge each other, how to stay curious, how arguments often lead to agreement, and – perhaps the most transformational – 5 conversation-altering words you can use.

So pop this one on in the car or on the plane.

Because missing out on meaningful human connection is not the answer – especially with those we hold dear.

Also, stay tuned for what's coming in 2024. Fresh format, focus, and guests that satisfy our continuing journey into curiosity together. Until then, let's connect on LinkedIn, Insta, and Facebook. Happy Holidays!

Not every recorded moment makes it into the podcast. Sometimes really poignant, personal, or humorous nuggets get left on the cutting room floor. My team and I – to wrap up our second season – selected four of our favorites to include in this special episode. Chew on clips from Chip Conley, Amy Gallo, and my brother, Jeff Myers, and then let us know what you think by leaving a review. See you in Season Three!

If you’ve been tuned in lately – to the news, to social media, to this podcast – you’ve undoubtedly heard about the much-hyped advances in AI (artificial intelligence). I bet you have questions, fears, or reservations about where AI is headed and what that means for our humanity – and our children’s future. Noah is here to clue us in on what’s going on.

Well that, and so much more. Listen to find out how a convo about AI becomes one about building connection. About our human desire for community. About us being scared about certain things. About us being impressed.

So what’s next? Find out on this episode of Listening on Purpose.

Whether you're 28, 88, or somewhere in the middle, wouldn't you love it if your life came with operating instructions for aging?

With great optimism and a generous sense of respect, Chip Conley (CEO and Co-Founder of Modern Elder Academy) lays out what's long been misunderstood about our 40s, 50s, and 60s and reasons why your life can get better with age. If it's any indication of how much this chat hit home for me, I felt it necessary to I bare my soul in the first few minutes. I hope this resonates with you as deeply as it did with my team and me.

Wisdom bombs abound, friends – too many to mention. Get ready to hit "pause" and grab a pen and paper. Enjoy!

TW: suicide, for a short conversation around minute 47.

This week is a departure.

I invite you to join me: let’s use art as a catalyst for critical conversations. Dig into topics of inclusion, cultural appropriation, historical practice, and artistic collaboration with me and my special guests, centering around a 400-year-old art form: OPERA.

Recorded in front of a live audience, this conversation was too good – too important – not to share with you. Featuring stage director Alison Moritz and choreographer Anu Naimpally, gain insight into Austin Opera's upcoming production of Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers.”
