The Disciplined Pursuit of Less

Original Air Date: October 18, 2021

Less is more. Truly. 

But as humans we always seem to want more. Is the desire for more causing us to lose what truly matters?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on the practice of pursuing less. 

Some refer to this as ‘essentialism’ since the purpose is to maintain a deep focus on only the most important things in life.

This discipline is just like any in that it takes a lot of practice. Mindfulness. An active re-commitment to simplifying things we try to complicate.

According to Greg McKeown, “It’s a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.”

If you feel:

• burnt out

• overworked

• unproductive

• unhappy, but too busy to change it

… then this might be the change you’re looking for. 

A way to finally take control of your life and jump off the treadmill that’s leading nowhere, but exhausting you. 

I invite you to have a listen, to see if what’s in this episode makes the difference in your outlook that it has on mine.

Gifts for My Child Ft. Adaora

This project has been a long time in the making. As our daughter’s due date was approaching, I decided that I wanted to host a series of interviews where I asked people to share their advice with my yet to be born child. 

That quest led me to interview almost 20 people. The conversations I had were absolutely beautiful and have brought tears to my eyes many times. 

Over the next several weeks, I will be sharing with you those interviews. Even if you don’t have a child, I know you will be moved by the conversations I had and you may even find some great advice you can apply to your life. 

I am launching this series, entitled “Gifts for My Child”, with a conversation I had with Adaora less than 24 hours before our child was due to arrive.
