I often feel as if my dog is much happier than I am. If all life forms come from the same source, wouldn't that mean that what makes life happy is the same across life? If that's true, then maybe we should start trying to reduce what makes us happy to its simplest form - so that we can experience happiness more often and more regularly.

In this episode of the A:R Podcast, I have a conversation with Family Recovery Support Coach Judeline Galek, who helps family members become informed and empowered to help support a loved one going through recovery while reducing relapse rates.

Hey, yo, A:R Nation! Howdy! Let me ask you. Are mistakes inherently bad? It's something that, as a kid in school, was probably instilled me. Don't make mistakes on tests, because you won't succeed in school. Don't make the mistake of asking the wrong person out, because if you fail you'll be embarrassed. The thing about it is, as an adult, it's hard to craft a life of our design unless we give ourselves room to make mistakes. I was having a conversation with a friend about this very issue, and I wanted to share it with you. If you took a good, hard look at your life, where (if anywhere) would you want to make changes? If there are spaces, have you honestly given yourself the room to take chances and possibly make mistakes? If not, why not? Practically everyone that learned how to ride a bike fell and scraped themselves up while learning. This is the Adulthood:Revisited podcast.

A:R Nation! What is up! With all the discussion in the media about our leaders on the national and international level, it may be a great time to talk about leadership. Fortunately, we have a great guest on this episode to discuss the matter. She is Mialei Iske, and she coaches business owners and team leaders around servant leadership. Particularly, she helps her students focus on leaving behind the 'expert' role and stepping into leadership. In our conversation, Mialei shares her origin story, which may reflect the journey of many in the A:R Nation: graduate school, get job, plan to work there until retirement. Things don't always work out the way we plan, and it was no different for Mialei. She shares how, after years working in the corporate space, it all came undone. Not only did Mialei find herself out of work, but because her life had been so tied to her job, she found herself without an identity. She shares that one of the best things to come from that was figuring out a skill that, as an introvert, helped her express herself. Mialei found that she had strengths, from her years of experience in corporate and customer support, in helping people lead better. She shares one guiding directive that every business person should be guided by. Mialei also shares what she believes is the most powerful question someone can start asking today to become a better servant leader. You can't even tell when a good leader is leading.

Hey, hey, A:R Nation! Que es lo que hay? Have you ever experienced hearing something that you needed to hear - right when you needed to hear it? I wanted to share with you an experience I recently had like this. As you may be aware, I've got a lot of new things going on - podcast, affiliate marketing, redesigning my law practice. With each of those endeavors, there is a lot of work that seems very mundane, almost like why am I doing this? We want big results in our lives - whether health, money, relationships. We want homeruns and touchdowns, not a one yard run, or a single. Recently, I heard a message from Joel Osteen that I've heard before, but this time it hit me in a profound way. It's the story of the People of Israel conquering the walled city of Jericho. It wasn't by fighting, or by weapons, or arms. They didn't conquer the city by conventional means, means by which we would think we would get the result. They stayed consistent, though, it what appeared to be useless, mundane work. Then what they wanted came to them. It was a lesson that I wanted to share with you, especially if you've experienced any kind of struggle in reaching your goals. You can't win the Daytona 500 without first doing a few hundred left turns. This is the Adulthood:Revisited podcast.

On this episode of the Adulthood:Revisited podcast, we have a conversation with Todd Foster about life, career, and being comfortable putting what you want first.

Hey, hey, A:R Nation! Imagine for a moment your ideal day. What would you do? An even deeper question, though, may be what's stopping you from living that right now? In this episode, I want to share with you an incredible story that I came across in an email that I received. I want to give credit to Peng Joon, an internet marketer, for including this story in an email. When I read this email, I was struck by it profoundly. The story is about a businessman that was visiting a small, waterside village who meets a fisherman. The fisherman works by himself, has a tiny boat, yet has caught some big, beautiful fish for dinner. I share the conversation between them with you in the episode, so I won't share it here. But it left me asking, what are we really working towards? And is what we're working towards something we have right here, right now? It was here all along. This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.

I'm so elated to share this with you. I've reached 100 episodes of the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast! What an incredible experience it's been! It hasn't always been easy - it's not easy to remain consistent for a 100 of anything! I've endured tech failures, scheduling hiccups, editing blunders, and certainly my dog and co-host, Uncle John, snoring in the background! Fortunately, I've enjoyed every moment producing this podcast. To make it even more special, everyone in my life has been incredibly supportive in this endeavor! When I launched the first episode, I shared that my girlfriend, Stefany Reveron, who was upset with me for coming back from a party in a drunken stupor, cared enough and was courageous enough to ask me whether I was happy with my life. Sure, I was content, but almost nothing in my life was what I thought it would've been. And, thus, the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast was born! In this episode, Stefany sits down with me for a conversation where we look back at that moment. We talk about her experience living and observing a "creative," and some challenges that come with that (like late nights on the laptop). Stef explores some themes she's pulled away from her 2020 experience, and what she enjoys about the podcast, as someone who's intimately connected to it, and also a listener. Come chill, hang out, and laugh with Stef and I on the 100th episode of thee A:R Podcast, and you can listen by clicking the button below. Are You Happy? This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.

Hi, friends! Maybe the opportunity for occurrence go down as we get older, but how many times have you had to ask yourself whether it was time to move on in your life? A couple of very good friends of mine recently shared that opportunities have come up in their professional lives. They're both doing well, well-established in their industries, and new work wasn't on their radar. Opportunities presented themselves, opportunities that come with some risk and uncertainty. As we talked about the opportunities, I asked them if they had really thought about why they'd make a move. What would a move - a change - in your life be about? Is it the desire for a new challenge? Is it the need for new stimuli? Is it money? Is it waking up and asking yourself what the heck you are using your life for? I've thought these things. That's why I have this podcast and a host of other projects I'm working on. A simple yet effective test may be whether you say something like, "Ugh! I've got to get up to go to work" when you get up in the morning. Or, "Ugh, I've got to get home and deal with my partner." There's nothing wrong with wanting change. We can only grow as people when we push above and beyond what we already have been. It's super critical and guiding, however, to really understand what is motivating that desire, because change for change-sake can be fruitless very quickly. Accepting that it's time to move on from something is incredibly empowering, and yet must be used with great discernment. Time goes on and on, every day. This is thee Adulthood:Revisited podcast.

Hey, hey, A:R-inos! What's the good word? I hope that you're doing super well on your side of the screen. I hope you've blocked off some time to take in this episode, because it's a fun one! I'm honored to have one of my best friends, and someone I admire on the show, Sean McNair. (Fun fact: Sean and I have known each other since the 1st grade!) Sean is a Cytotechnologist, and a Cytology Program Director and Educator here in the New York City area. He also has a few passion activities, like photography. I wanted to have a convo with Sean on the podcast because, being one of my best friends for such a long time, we are able to talk about anything and everything - sometimes disagreeing with each other, but always within the frame of understanding, love and respect. Sean opens up about his path to his current career in both the academic and clinical worlds of medicine. He shares some of the challenges that he faced in his pursuit of "success" - challenges of pursuing dreams and desired created by those closest to him, the chase of titles and money, and 'making it." Sean dives into the difficulties of pursuing a professional life coming from an underprivileged household, and having to figure it all out as he moved along. He talks openly about experiencing burnout - from trying to meet and surpass the expectations placed on him from those in his life. Sean reveals the surprise skill set that has helped him thrive as a professional - a skill set he thought would have the least value as he pursued his career. Sean shares with us his thoughts on the very real systemic challenges that people of color face - systemic forces that exist sight unseen, and as a result of not knowing what you don't know. Finally, Sean leaves us with some powerful parting words about making the world a better place. If you're looking to be inspired, my man Sean McNair will do just that for you. Say hello to everyone.
