In this episode I get into why we fall off track, why external validation is a black hole your soul will never fill, and what Guy Ritchie's movie Revolver taught me about separating ego from identity. We also talk about: — Why failure is the first thing you should teach yourself (not victory) — Casey Neistat, Vegeta, and the compounding power of daily effort — How nature kills the ego faster than any philosophy book — Why nobody actually cares about your goals — and how that's liberating — Climbing Kilimanjaro, Alan Watts, and the Prodigal Son parable — What it actually means to prove something to YOURSELF If you've been sitting on something you "should" be doing — this one's for you.

In this week's episode of Chris's Corner, I explore the captivating world of James Luceno's Darth Plagueis. I discuss how Disney could adapt this rich narrative into a film to rejuvenate the Star Wars franchise. Dive into the intricate story of Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, and discover the roles of other intriguing characters such as Count Dooku, Darth Maul, and Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. This podcast highlights the immense potential of this story for a cinematic masterpiece, and why Disney would be missing a golden opportunity if they don't bring it to the big screen.

This week on Chris's Corner I speak about my experience running the London Marathon 2024 in 3 hours and 23 minutes. An experience I had been training for 9 years to be able to accomplish. This podcast really shows the essence of the mentality it takes to get to this point in my 9 year running career and how I will never stop no matter what.

A Taylor's Tales Podcast

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?

Welcome to another empowering episode of Chris's Corner! In this week's installment, join me as I delve into the remarkable achievement of hitting the coveted 100kg bench press and surpassing the impressive milestone of 200lbs. However, rather than focusing solely on the physical journey to this achievement, I explore the profound mindset required to conquer significant milestones in life.

This episode invites you to reflect on the relentless pursuit of personal goals and the unwavering determination it takes to reach them. What drives you to push boundaries and achieve greatness? I challenge you to contemplate the depth of your commitment and ask yourself, how far are you willing to go to "get the f*** after it"?

Moreover, I explore the concept of stepping outside your comfort zone – a crucial element in the journey towards personal triumphs. Are you ready to embrace discomfort for the sake of your aspirations? These thought-provoking questions are tackled head-on in this podcast, providing insights that transcend the world of bench presses and weights.

As always, I trust you'll find inspiration in this week's episode, gaining valuable perspectives on perseverance, ambition, and the pursuit of personal excellence. Tune in, and I look forward to sharing more with you in our next episode!
