What do karma, passion, and being underemployed have to do with each other?

Yes, you might be underemployed in the literal sense, but I'm talking satisfaction here.

Are you underemployed in any part of life, and what do you do about it?

I believe the goal to #manifesting the life you want... to not being underemployed in life... lies in generating positive karma in the care of your passions.

FYI - there is a presentation to accompany this podcast! you can find it on youtube channel here

The current job market is so awful, I don't even know what to say about it. I see news segments on college grads not even being able to score interviews. More seasoned people, especially in tech and HR, seem to be struggling to find employment, often unemployed for 12 or 18 month stretches they never expected. Filling your dance card with gigs only gets in the way of finding something more meaningful. We can't make ends meet. We're underemployed.

The two biggest non-material things that affect your day-to-day satisfaction in life are what you do with your time (and that may or may not affect your material satisfaction) and whom with we spend that time.

Are you underemployed in life?

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a guide, "Seven Simple Steps to Changing Your Life!" that was personalized to you and guaranteed to work? Do a quick google on it, and AI will tell you. And the answer isn't wrong.

Because there are probably 7 times 7 times 7 ways to look at the 7-steps. It's not steps. #itsaprocess

But at some point, the shit hits the fan and you know it's time to get real. It's time to change your life.

We think of #manifesting a better life as thinking it and it becomes reality. It becomes true because you change your behaviors in way to accomplish your goals, enjoying life more along the way.

Where do you start?

Booze and sex. Our two favorite vices.

If you're wondering if the traditional 7-year itch is real, stop wondering… it is. So as I realized I was marking 7 years sober, I wondered if I would get an itch. I did not.

So that made me wonder… Is the 7-year itch is just a sex thing? Or is it a thing with anything you do for a long time, and it just didn't happen to me. Or, happen yet, as it pertains to my drinking.

In this episode, I'm going to read and improv on a personal post I made for my 7-years of sobriety, and then spend a little time on the traditional 7-year itch. Because what I've learned is that it's not about the booze. And it's not about the sex. It's about manifesting the life you want for yourself and the actions you take to get there.

For an excellent, very succinct, and very useful one page quick read on the traditional 7-year itch and how to prevent it, check out this article https://www.authenticintimacy.com/is-there-really-a-7-year-itch/

Why do we wait for Thanksgiving to come around to be thankful?

You're out there, struggling, trying to manifest the life you want. "Why isn't it going better," you scream?

What would you think if I told you that you were probably just forgetting to be thankful. Would that change your behavior? Would you be more thankful if it would help you get what you want?

would you be more thankful if i told you it was how you get what you want?

the ritual of prayer regardless of faith.

the things whose worth cannot be measured are the things worth keeping. if someone famous didn't say it, i just did.

and, here's another.

you won't think about the wroth of your marriage until a judge puts a value on a divorce judgement.

you see, the things worth keeping are the things we often just take for granted.

We don't think enough about the things worth keeping. We take them for granted every day. But if I asked you to identify something in your closet NOT worth keeping, you'd have no problem. We hold onto posessions and momentos, but fail to give the people we love the basic respect they deserve.

It's easier to identify the things not worth keeping. It's part of the process.

Sometimes they are not worth keeping because you are making room for something else.

Listen to how my partner and I made a couple of hard decisions around things NOT worth keeping.

Season 2025 - Episode 004: how much money would be life-changing to you?

How much money would it REALLY take to change your life? $1,000,000? $100,000? $500? $20?

We are greedy, selfish bastards.... we want things. So, what amount is really life-changing? What should the definition of life-changing be?

Is there an answer that would be fair to everyone? Could we all change our lives for the better?
