Journey to Transformation: Reflections on the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat

Welcome to a special episode of the All Around Growth podcast.  Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through an unforgettable experience that occurred at the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat held at the Antiochian Village over the weekend.  Join me as I open up about how this event truly transformed my life. I'll be sharing my own personal reflections, hoping to give you a taste of the incredible moments we shared during the retreat.   Whether you're tuning in to reminisce about your own retreat memories or you missed out on this unique experience, this episode is your chance to dive into the beauty of that weekend from my perspective.  Thank you for being part of this journey with me.  I'm grateful to have experienced it with you.  The Ancient Faith Singles Retreat 30+ is a gathering of Orthodox Christians who are at least 30 years of age, unmarried (single, divorced, widowed), and living in the world. The weekend will include daily matins and vespers, and Sunday Divine Liturgy. The group will participate in interactive, leader-led discussion sessions, opportunities for community service, games, and social activities, and free time for relaxation and fellowship.  The Antiochian Village is a Christian conference and retreat center located on 300 acres in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, just six miles north of the historic town of Ligonier. Owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Antiochian Village was established in 1978 through the vision and leadership of the Archbishop, Metropolitan Philip, who dreamed of a place where the faithful of all ages could meet, worship, and become closer to God, away from the distractions of daily life.  ~Discussion Links:Intro Music:  Byzantine chant.

Navigating the Maze: From St. Anthony's Wisdom to George Carlin's Wit in Modern Politics

Join me on today's podcast as we delve into insightful quotes from St. Anthony the Great and the witty George Carlin.  We navigate through diverse topics such as politics, local communities, and the impact of social media, with a special focus on the notorious "Communist China owned and operated Tik Tok."  In the midst of a community dispute about Trump and Biden, we raise thought-provoking questions:  What do we truly understand? What remains unclear to us? Are we open to admitting our lack of understanding? Does any of this chaos hold significance, and why? We explore the willingness to acknowledge when we're wrong and unravel a simple photo that encapsulates my "hot take" on Western/American politics in the 20th and 21st centuries.  This photo sparks a quote and a clip from the iconic George Carlin.The conversation extends to addressing questions, comments, and topics from Kyriaki via Patreon, leading us to unpack the profound quote by St. Anthony the Great: “Which is older — the mind or the book?  And which is the source of the other?  So, to the man whose mind is sound, there is no need for books to attain wisdom.” Tune in to discover my political compass, anchored in God and a life inspired by the teachings of Christ. The exploration becomes clearer as we delve into the life story of St. Anthony the Great and connect it to the landscape of modern American politics.  ~Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  [email protected] Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:Anthony the Great - OrthodoxWikiVenerable and God-bearing Father Anthony the GreatA Daily Calendar of Saints: A Synaxarion for Today's North American Church“When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show.

Ep. 519 - Finding Solace and Structure: The Power of Prayer

Welcome back to the All Around Growth Podcast!  While we've been on a unique journey in recent months, today, we're returning to our original mission.  Our podcast is a voyage through life's multifaceted dimensions, dedicating episodes to explore each aspect.  Through a comprehensive goal-setting workbook (you can find the link in the show notes), we've identified seven fundamental dimensions of life:  Financial, Physical, Personal Development, Family, Spiritual, Social, and Career.  In this episode, we're revisiting one of these pivotal domains – the spiritual aspect, with the topic of "Finding Solace and Structure: The Power of Prayer."  Today, we'll delve deep into the transformative influence of prayer in our lives.  Revisiting these seven life dimensions provides not just structure to our show but also structure to our lives.  It's been evident that when the show has structure, it extends to my personal life, and today's discussion on prayer will expand on the idea of structure.  Over the weekend, I was gifted a prayer book after attending church, and it struck me how prayer can offer a profound sense of organization and structure to our lives.  This shift in perspective has taken me from seeing religion as a system of control and oppression to embracing it as a source of tradition, community, and love.  In this episode, we'll explore several different themes:The significance of structure in life.How prayer can be a powerful tool for bringing order and purpose to your life.My personal journey of exploring prayer and meditation over the past 12-18 months.A heartfelt story about the prayer book that was gifted to me recently.A brief overview of the various prayer books I've encountered on this enlightening journey.So, without further ado, let's dive into the show and gain some understanding into what prayer has to offer us when we implement it into our lives.  ~Provide some feedback on Social Media or email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  [email protected] Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:FREE GOAL-SETTING GUIDE: SET GOALS FOR THE 7 MAIN AREAS OF YOUR LIFE by Dan MillerTheosis - OrthodoxWikiDiscover Orthodox Christianity - Everyone is welcome.  Everyone is wanted.Introducing OrthodoxyJordanville Prayer BookThe Orthodox Study BiblePocket Prayer Book for Orthodox Christians - The Little Red Prayer BookHow to Pray: 5-5-5-1 - Orthodox Christian NetworkAnthologion Prayer Book

Ep. 516 - Charting Growth: Reflecting on The Introduction of The All Around Growth Podcast

In today's episode, as we approach the 3-year anniversary of the show, we're revisiting the Top 5 episodes of all time. Our #3 top-rated episode is "Episode 1 - An Introduction to the All Around Growth Podcast." In this episode, we delve into the show's original goals and objectives, tracing our journey from the beginning to where we stand today.We'll explore the vibrant community surrounding the show, and how it's interconnected with other communities. We discuss the evolution of the community, the podcast itself, and how Rob's life has transformed. One constant remains—the unwavering commitment to the show's core principles: documenting and sharing personal experiences of growth and development in all facets of life, what we call All Around Growth.  We kick things off with the motto, "If you're not growing, you're dying," a poignant reminder from a former Marine boss. Rob delves into various sayings and clichés about change, addressing why we often struggle to enact the changes we desire. He also shares valuable tools and resources that have served as a framework for change. Rob emphasizes that we possess the ability to change if we truly want to and helps us understand the factors influencing our decisions to change or remain stagnant.  From discussions on change to conformity, this episode provides an opportunity for Rob to reflect on the entire history of the show and his life on the homestead over the past three years. It's a journey filled with life's ups and downs, faithfully represented in the show.  Are you on a path of growth or stagnation? Are you content with your life's trajectory? Why do you make the choices you do? Rob explores the idea that being selfish can actually be a positive thing. As a bonus, he shares timeless words of wisdom from Dad towards the end of the episode.  Join the All Around Growth Community on Telegram and other social media platforms to share the changes you're making in your life. We deeply appreciate your participation in this three-year journey, and we're excited about the future. If you'd like to be interviewed and become a part of the show, reach out to Rob and let's make it happen.

Join Rob for a morning stroll, where he sips his coffee and muses on the ever-evolving landscape of his life on the homestead.  With a contemplative spirit, Rob takes us through a journey of reflections over the past 18 months and the near future.  He revisits pivotal moments, from leaving his day job to navigating his first market season with his parents, to the challenges of winter markets and his father's battle with cancer. Rob also discusses the changing rhythm of life as summer turns to autumn and shares insights into rebranding his fermented food product line, upcoming events, and plans for his friend's chickens.  Rob imparts a valuable perspective on planning. He advocates for a shift away from excessive planning, instead emphasizing the importance of surrendering to life's unpredictable course and adapting to God's plan. In his own words, it's about "doing the next right thing" while embracing life's inherent complexity, not as a content creator but as an ordinary man seeking a simple existence amidst a sea of change. ~Connect on Social Media!

Ep. 498 - The Winter Market Wrap-Up and a Look Ahead

As the end of winter approaches, so too does the end of the indoor farmers market season.  For many, these markets have provided a valuable source of fresh produce and locally-made goods during the colder months. While it's always sad to say goodbye to the cozy atmosphere of indoor markets, there is plenty to look forward to as the upcoming farmers market season approaches.  With the arrival of spring, farmers, food producers, and artisans will be back out in force, bringing with them a new season's worth of bounty to be enjoyed by all.  From fresh fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts and baked goods, there is no shortage of delights to be found at these community-focused events. So as we bid farewell to the indoor markets, let's embrace the promise of what's to come in the months ahead.   In today's show, I will discuss the conclusion of the Indoor Winter Farmers Market at Boyert's Greenhouse and Farm and where you can find York Meadow Farm during the upcoming farmers' market season of 2023.  ~ Connect on Social Media! Twitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~#FarmersMarket #SupportLocal #EatLocal #FreshProduce #ShopLocal #FarmFresh #FarmToTable #HealthyEating #OrganicFood #LocallyGrown #SeasonalEating #SustainableFarming #CommunitySupportedAgriculture #FarmersMarketFinds #BuyLocal #FreshFruits #FreshVeggies #FarmLife #Foodie #SmallFarm #FamilyFarm #GardenToTable #FarmersMarketWeekend ~Cover Photo Credit: Rob Kaiser~Discussion Links: Indoor Winter Farmers Market | Boyert's Greenhouse & Farm  Walkabout Tremont  Farmers Market - Tremont, Ohio  North Union Farmers Market Pinecrest Market  Pinecrest Farmers Market opens this week - cleveland.com  Goldhorn Brewery  Goal Setting Guide:  https://www.48dayseagles.com/get-goal-setting-workbookYork Meadow Farm: Lacto-Fermented Foods Rich in probiotics, our fermented foods are also paleo and keto friendly.

Ep. 497 - From Boomers to Zoomers: A Discussion on Different Communication Styles Between Generations

Effective communication is crucial for building strong relationships and achieving success in both personal and professional settings. However, as generations come and go, so do their communication styles. From Baby Boomers to Generation Z, each generation has its own unique set of communication preferences, values, and habits. As technology and culture continue to rapidly evolve, it's becoming increasingly important to bridge the communication gap between generations. In this discussion, we'll explore the differences in communication styles between generations, and how we can learn to communicate more effectively with individuals from different age groups. ~ Connect on Social Media! Twitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~#intergenerationalcommunication #boomersvszoomers #communicationstyles #ageisjustanumber #bridgingthegap #generationaldifferences #millennialmindset #generationz #babyboomers #genx #techsavvy #communicationbreakdown #communicationevolution #differentperspectives #understandingeachother #multigenerational #respectingdifferences #moderncommunication #crossgenerational #empathy #socialmediaimpact #inclusivity #diversitymatters #connectinggenerations #mindthegap #communicationchallenges #listeningiskey #adapttochange #embracingdifferences #culturalshifts ~Cover Photo Credit: Rob Kaiser~Discussion Links:Baby boomers - WikipediaBaby boomers, often shortened to boomers, are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. Generation X - Wikipedia Generation X (often shortened to Gen X) is the Western demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the millennials.

Ep. 496 - Finding My Religion

This show is inspired by a blog post titled “Finding My Religion.”  Lettie, a long time and active audience member, recently shared some reflections about her own spiritual journey – which inspired me to do the same.  Accordingly, I have titled this episode with the exact same title of the work that she published on Monday, February 13, 2023.  You can read it here:  https://libertyallday.home.blog/2023/02/13/finding-my-religion/Speaking openly about my spiritual path is something I’ve always been somewhat reluctant to do, but seeing Lettie write about it so openly encouraged me to put my fears aside and share my own journey.  My hope with this episode is that it reaches those of you who are seeking to do exactly that.  It often times feels like a long, arduous, and lonely road…but I can assure you that you are not alone in doing so.  Before tuning into this live stream, I would strongly encourage you to read her blog post here: https://libertyallday.home.blog/2023/02/13/finding-my-religion/Thank you in advance for keeping an open mind and an open heart and for listening to my journey.  May God bless you on yours.  ~ Connect on Social Media! Twitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~ #religion #faith #spirituality #belief #God #worship #prayer #Jesus #Islam #Christianity #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #divine #sacred #morality #bible #quran #church #Sunday #religious #catholic #devotion #scripture #piety #divine #salvation #eternity #grace #peace~ Cover Photo Credit: https://www.antiochian.org/dashboard?name=spiritual%20reflections~Discussion Links:Liberty All Day – Walking the path to liberty:  Finding My Religion -  https://libertyallday.home.blog/2023/02/13/finding-my-religion/Goal Setting Guide:  https://www.48dayseagles.com/get-goal-setting-workbookThe Orthodox Church: New Edition Paperback – June 1, 1993by Timothy Ware (Author)YMF: Artisanal Bath & Body Products 🛁 Our bath and body products are made with natural oils & plant butters and natural herbs & spices.Food Forest Farms Food Forest Farms - the home of Air Roasted Specialty Coffee, a fun HipCamp & a Cozy Air BnB.

The ideas below come from the book "Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want -- Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible" by Brian Tracy Identify your biggest problem or source of negativity in life today.  In what ways are you responsible for this situation?   See yourself as the president of your own company. How would you actdifferently if you owned 100 percent of the shares of the company for which you work?   Resolve today to stop blaming anyone else for anything and instead acceptcomplete responsibility in every area of your life. What actions should you take now that you are in charge?   Stop making excuses and start making progress. Imagine that your favorite excuses have no basis in fact, and act accordingly.   See yourself as the primary creative force in your own life.

Ep. 486 - The "Me-Centered" Society

“From a broad societal standpoint, one of the greatest (and most observable) effects of digitization is the emergence of the "me-centered" society – a process of individuation and emergience of new forms of belonging and community.  Contrary to the past, the notion of belonging to a community today is more defined by personal projects and individual values and interests rather than by space (the local community), work, and family.” - Klaus Schwab, The Fourth Industrial Revolution Tune in and listen to the irony as Rob shares his thoughts on what "The 'Me-Centered' Society" means to him.  This is the audio of the most recent LIVE STREAM from Sunday, 01/08/2023 at 7:30pm EST.Be sure to subscribe on YouTube and hit that notification bell for notifications of future LIVE STREAM episodes taking place each week!  ~ Subscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES:  allaroundgrowth.co~Listeners and supporters of the show get 25% OFF all orders with the discount code “ALLAROUNDGROWTH”~#selfish #love #selflove #selfie #life #follow #loveyourself #selfishpeople #like #myself #followforfollowback #mecentered #society #yourself #me #community #covid #likeforlikes #memes #explore #sad #world #education #selfishness #likeaboss #fourthindustrialrevolution #god #ai #lgbtq #history~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:1)            The Pathway to Blessing in a Me-Centered Society - https://www.reviveourhearts.com/blog/pathway-blessing-me-centered-society/2)            ME-CENTERED SOCIETY - LEARNING TO BE ALONE - Cargo - http://cargocollective.com/criscabana/ME-CENTERED-SOCIETY3)            Me-centered society headed for disaster – Northern Star - https://northernstar.info/10674/opinion/me-centered-society-headed-for-disaster/4)            Contrasting a “Me-Centered” Society | DaveTrenholm.com - https://www.davetrenholm.com/sermons/837/contrasting-a-me-centered-society/5)            Why is society becoming self centered and lavish? - Quora - https://www.quora.com/Why-is-society-becoming-self-centered-and-lavish Read More here: https://presearch.com/search?q=me-centered%20society💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 475 - 365 Tao

The Tao is constantly moving, the path that all life and the whole universe takes. There is nothing that is not part of it—harmonious living is to know and to move with the Tao—it is a way of life, the natural order of things, a force that flows through all life. 365 Tao is a contemporary book of meditations on what it means to be wholly a part of the Taoist way, and thus to be completely in harmony with oneself and the surrounding world. Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including The Living I Ching, Chronicles of Tao, Everyday Tao, and Scholar Warrior. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and with two other masters before that.Join Rob as he reads from the 365 Tao.  “This treasury of life enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life. Each daily entry begins with a one-word title and its Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.A brief poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful meditation on the days Taoist principle.”~Please share Friday's 🔴LIVE STREAM🔴 - where I will tell you how to get paid to walk in the woods and travel!~  Connect with All Around Growth on social media! Telegram Group Chat -https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page -https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthMeWe Group - https://mewe.com/group/623c6b589861b57f0db026f4Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthSubscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES:  allaroundgrowth.co~Listeners and supporters of the show get 25% OFF all orders with the discount code “ALLAROUNDGROWTH”~#taoism #tao #qigong #daoism #meditation #chikung #taichi #zen #spirituality #buddhism #kungfu #taoist #taoteching #philosophy #spiritualawakening #spiritual #laotzu #spiritualit #wisdom #taoismo #reiki #wushu #nonduality #yinyang #yoga #taichichuan #chakra #alanwatts #pengobatangunaguna #prana~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast App:  https://youtu.be/M_xz5XbWQTgThis really does affect the algorithm......as of recording in November 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - but old-school reviews certainly help!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Ming-Dao Deng365 Tao: Daily MeditationsThomas ClearyThe Essential Tao : An Initiation into the Heart of Taoism Through the Authentic Tao Te Ching and the Inner Teachings of Chuang-TzuFriday's 🔴LIVE STREAM🔴 - where I will tell you how to get paid to walk in the woods and travel.  You won't want to miss it!  👇Ep. 477 - How to Get Paid to Walk in The Woods and T

Ep. 466 - Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox…OH MY!

In today’s show, we are going to do a deep dive into a few different aspects of Christianity.  I understand that religion and spirituality are not the topics of choice for many people in the audience.  With that said, I would encourage you to keep an open mind with regard today’s show – because the purpose of today’s show is to obtain information and share what I am learning.  This episode is not about the promotion of any particular faith or denomination.  It is about Rob's rediscovery and walk of faith.  He shares his own spiritual backstory before taking a deep dive into a few different aspects of Christianity before diving deep into the differences between the Roman Catholic church and various Eastern Orthodox churches.  We talk about spirituality in this show because I set spiritual goals life.We set goals in 7 areas of life:Financial, Physical, Personal Development, Family, Spiritual, Social, Career  Consider reframing the way in which you think about life and goals.  Instead of chasing YOUR dreams and passion......perhaps consider what God’s purpose for you in this life is.If you find the word “God” unsavory – then please feel free to insert the word “creator” or “universe” into that message.  For I believe thinking outside of ourselves is the key to truly understanding ourselves.  ~Discussion Links:Catholic vs Protestant vs Orthodox: What's the Difference?https://christianityfaq.com/catholic-protestant-christianity-orthodox-comparison/Roman Catholicism, Protestant Christianity, and the Eastern Orthodox Church are the three historic branches of the Christian religion.Other notable links:Eastern Catholic Churches - https://www.catholicsandcultures.org/eastern-catholic-churchesWho Are Coptic Christians?

Ep. 458 - Dream, Plan, Act

 “The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.  He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him he is always doing both.” - James Michener  Today, Rob reviews the Goal Setting Guide and how effective it has been over the past 12 months - and how he will be using it again for the upcoming year.   "Achieving goals is more about our mindset than about the identification of specific targets in our future. " - Dan Miller   You can have more than you have now by becoming more than you are now. You don’t have to change the company, the economy, the government, your boss or your spouse - you get to change YOU and you’ll see your whole world change.  Join Rob as he talks about setting goals vs new years resolutions - and shares a FREE framework for effective goal setting.  You can put yourself in the driver's seat of your life immediately, if you create a clear plan, decide what’s important to you, and ACT. 💥 Here’s the framework for this entire process. You might want to just park on this section for a little while - and then incorporate your answers into the following sections of the Goal Setting Guide. If we were meeting three years from today, what has to have happened during that three-year period for you to feel happy about your progress? What are the biggest challenges you’ll have to face and deal with in order to achieve that progress?What are the biggest opportunities you have that you can focus on and capture to achieve those things?What strengths will you need to reinforce and maximize, and what skills and resources will you need to develop that you don’t currently have in order to capture those opportunities? ~Listeners and supporters of the show get 25% OFF all orders at York Meadow Farm with the discount code “ALLAROUNDGROWTH”~#goals #motivation #love #success #inspiration #mindset #life #fitness #lifestyle #believe #quotes #instagood #positivevibes #happiness #selflove #motivationalquotes #entrepreneur #happy #instagram #bhfyp #loveyourself #positivity #yourself #follow #inspirationalquotes #like #business #quoteoftheday #motivational #inspire~Discussion Links:Ep. 219 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 1 - Intro / Financial)💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 447 - Recovering From a Seizure

Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by repeated seizures. A seizure is usually defined as a sudden alteration of behavior due to a temporary change in the electrical functioning of the brain. Normally, the brain continuously generates tiny electrical impulses in an orderly pattern. These impulses travel along neurons — the network of nerve cells in the brain — and throughout the whole body via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.  -  https://www.aans.org/en/Patients/Neurosurgical-Conditions-and-Treatments/EpilepsyJoin Rob as he reflects on and recovers from a recent seizure, something that he suffers occasionally as a result of epilepsy, a chronic neurological condition he’s been dealing with for +30 years.

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.  He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him he is always doing both.” - James Michener Join Rob as he reflects on the past three months since he participated in The Great Resignation and how his career goals have dramatically changed since leaving the world of full time employment.  Be sure to check out the show notes for links to everything discussed today and links to where you can find us on social media, how you can sign up for the York Meadow Farm newsletter, new ways to listen to the podcast where we can exchange value for value with one another through Bitcoin...and more!~Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunity  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in August 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:6 Steps to Succeed in The Great Resignation - Men of OrderMay 15, 2022 — Effectively understand the Great Resignation and learn six steps you can take to succeed and increase your independence and freedom.💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 398 - The Social Butterfly Dances with Turbulent Winds

We’ve already identified that life is comprised of these different areas:  financial, physical, personal development, family, spiritual, social, and our career.  This comes from the 2022 Goal Setting Workbook – which I will link to in the show notes. Part of the introduction to the workbook reads:Here’s the framework for this entire process. You might want to just park on this section for a little while - and then incorporate your answers into the following sections. You can write on any of the lines in this document - then print it out for easy reference if you’d like. If we were meeting three years from today, what has to have happened during that three-year period for you to feel happy about your progress?What are the biggest challenges you’ll have to face and deal with in order to achieve that progress? What are the biggest opportunities you have that you can focus on and capture to achieve those things?  What strengths will you need to reinforce and maximize, and what skills and resources will you need to develop that you don’t currently have in order to capture those opportunities?Now, the remaining 15 pages of the workbook is a structured process that has us setting three-year goals and then work backward to what you need to do today to make deposits in what you want your life to be three years from now.  This is a great plan to follow if you’ve been struggling to find one that works for you.  Join Rob as we talk about a balanced life today – and how too much focus on one area of life can lead to imbalance...and ultimately, we’ll talk about what YOU can do to find balance in YOUR life.  ~Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunity  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in August 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:6 Steps to Succeed in The Great Resignation - Men of OrderMay 15, 2022 — Effectively understand the Great Resignation and learn six steps you can take to succeed and increase your independence and freedom.💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen OCDThis Book of Meditations is a classic and is steeped in Carmelite spirituality. For every day it offers two meditations, arranged according to the liturgical season (1962 Missal), that enable the soul to enter the conscious presence of God and to reflect on the theme of the day. These are followed by a Colloquy that helps the person at prayer to start a friendly conversation with God where acts of praise and love, petition and thanksgiving are made, together with good resolutions for the future. Here we are at the very heart of prayer, which is a heart-to-heart encounter in faith with the living God. Divine Intimacy is the highest state attainable on earth. In this union of love, the soul produces acts of love which have an immense apostolic influence on a multitude of souls. This knowledge of the ways that lead to God, according to the teaching of the renowned Spanish mystics, is distilled into the pages of this book.Divine Intimacy - Chad Lemoine  💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 388 - Socializing, Social Media, and Echo Chambers

Regardless of what kind of groups you’re into on social media – it’s easy to get caught up in that echo chamber of “stuff” that used to be who we were……stuff that is perhaps holding us back from what we have yet to become.Are you stuck in an echo chamber?  Is the echo chamber you find yourself in holding you back?  What can you do to get out of your own echo chamber?  Is it *because* of social media?  Or…can you *leverage* social media to your advantage?  Perhaps finding new echo chambers to challenge yourself while you learn and grow?  I don’t know – there’s a lot to unpack here.  Let us know in the comments and in the telegram group chat!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth ~Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunity  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in July 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:N/A

Ep. 387 - Faith

Faith enables us to know God as He knows Himself, although certainly not exhaustively.  God knows Himself not only as the Creator, bur also as the Trinity and as the Author of grace; it is under these aspects that faith presents Him to us.  By faith, we know creatures as He knows them, that is, in relation to Him and dependent upon Him.  Our intellect can give us only natural light on God and creatures; faith, on the contrary, gives us the supernatural light that is a participation in the light of God, in the knowledge God has of Himself and of creatures.- Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen, O.C.D.Join Rob as he discusses a topic that he's often been reluctant to discuss - his Christian faith.  What do you have to say about faith and/or spirituality?  Let us know in the group chat!Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth ~Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunity  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in July 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Divine Intimacy - Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalen OCDThis Book of Meditations is a classic and is steeped in Carmelite spirituality. For every day it offers two meditations, arranged according to the liturgical season (1962 Missal), that enable the soul to enter the conscious presence of God and to reflect on the theme of the day. These are followed by a Colloquy that helps the person at prayer to start a friendly conversation with God where acts of praise and love, petition and thanksgiving are made, together with good resolutions for the future. Here we are at the very heart of prayer, which is a heart-to-heart encounter in faith with the living God. Divine Intimacy is the highest state attainable on earth. In this union of love, the soul produces acts of love which have an immense apostolic influence on a multitude of souls. This knowledge of the ways that lead to God, according to the teaching of the renowned Spanish mystics, is distilled into the pages of this book.Divine Intimacy - Chad Lemoine  "What Is The Royal Path?"

Ep. 386 - Your Family Vision

Do you have a family vision? We focus so much on business yet oftentimes never recognize the need for intention and planning with family.

Ep. 377 - The Founders of York Meadow Farm

In today's episode, Rob interviews the founders of the homestead where he lives.  While we've only lived out here together for four years together, the history of the land dates back to December 2005 - when Robert J Kaiser, Jr. and Denise Kaiser first purchased the land.  There is discussion about challenges of building a homestead while owning land and not living there, even if your land is located in the same city or county where you reside.  We also talk about the challenges of building a farmers' market based business and adapting to change.  Learn how they supplemented their first market season with products when the gardens were barely productive.  Dad began baking breads and Mom began making soaps to supplement the produce being grown, and the seeds of self-sufficiency were first planted at that time.  Dad speaks about his enjoyment of the market experience and taking great pride and joy in selling products that he made with his own hands and Mom speaks briefly about her joy in educating the customer about the products as well.  Over 10 years of experience at local farmers' markets, you will learn how they adapted and adjusted to products being made and sold here on the homestead - and how that relates to getting older and aging along with continued growth and development of the farm.  We also have some discussion about how some gastrointestinal issues that Mom experienced helped Dad firm up his transition from baking bread to making sauerkraut and other ferments in addition to the pickles he had begun making a few seasons prior for the farmers market.  Learn how we made the transition into natural ferments here on the farm and how that grew into what we're doing today with all the fermented foods we are doing today......and how the "seeds of self-sufficiency" were planted decades ago with Backwoods Home Magazine, and how that resurfaced with everything we are learning about permaculture and regenerative agriculture.  Dad and Mom are very hopeful about the future of the land here at York Meadow Farm - because the potential of the land is great.  Over the past 15 years, all the work that is done here is beginning to dovetail with ideas of self-sufficiency as we begin to interact with our community in ways that facilitate a self-sufficient life and providing true freedom for our family.  While we don't know what the ultimate end will be...we will continue to grow.Change and adaptation is key when you're actively building the life and homestead of your dreams.  That's allowed us to get to the point where we are with the current homestead AND business operations and the continual evolution will ensure future success as well.~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in July 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:York Meadow FarmYork Meadow Farm produces hand-crafted batches of probiotic-rich fermented foods and all-natural bath and body products, scented with pure essential oils.💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 375 - Roadblocks

Have you ever hit a plateau or even found yourself moving backwards in your personal development journey?  That’s right – sometimes we encounter roadblocks in our path towards personal development.It’s normal and it’s natural.  Like many other situations in life, how we respond is what matters.I’d like to look at the idea of “roadblocks” through a bit of an analytical lens.You see, once we’ve accepted our plateau or our backwards progress, we begin to again move forward.Acceptance.One of the first things I think about when it comes to the word “acceptance” and it’s use is the serenity prayer.  The Serenity Prayer is a prayer written by the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It is commonly quoted as: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Ep. 367 - Contra Dances

A contra dance event is a social dance that one can attend without a partner. The dancers form couples, and the couples form sets of two couples in long lines starting from the stage and going down the length of the dance hall. Throughout the course of a dance, couples progress up and down these lines, dancing with each other couple in the line. The dance is led by a caller who teaches the sequence of figures in the dance before the music starts. Callers describe the series of steps called "figures", and in a single dance, a caller may include anywhere from six to twelve figures which are repeated as couples progress up and down the lines. Each time through the dance takes 64 beats, after which the pattern is repeated. The essence of the dance is in following the pattern with your set and your line; since there is no required footwork, many people find contra dance easier to learn than other forms of social dancing.Tune in today as Rob talks about a social topic and shares his experience with a unique dance that you may not be familiar with - but is something you may want to try after today's show!  Have you ever been contra dancing?Join the discussion on Telegram and let us know!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth  ~ Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunity  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in June 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Contradancing in Asheville: At the Old Farmers Ball with Sarah - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HlfylsylXoAsheville contra dances have a youthful energy that is unparalleled!

Ep. 364 - The Descent of the Holy Spirit

The Christian holiday of Pentecost is celebrated on the 50th day from Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. Wikipedia  In today's episode, Rob shares a passage with you from Divine Intimacy titled "The Descent of the Holy Spirit."  Divine Intimacy is the highest state attainable on earth. In this union of love, the soul produces acts of love which have an immense apostolic influence on a multitude of souls. This knowledge of the ways that lead to God, according to the teaching of the renowned Spanish mystics, is distilled into the pages of this book.   Learn how a desire to get involved in his community led him back to the church, and how those church experiences opened Rob's heart once again.  He shares a brief history of his own spiritual journey throughout life, how it's changed, and where he's at today.  Please tune in for an exciting episode unpacking spirituality with a focus on the Holy Spirit.  Rob provides some backstory on his own spiritual journey, including how he was raised in a Roman Catholic family during childhood, his spiritual journey throughout his 20's, including psychedelics and Buddhism - only to find himself returning to the church to fill the void that he continued to feel each time he stepped away from his own spiritual journey.     What's your spiritual journey been like?   Join the discussion on Telegram and let us know!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth  ~ Discussion Links:Divine Intimacy - Fr.

These are followed by a ‘Colloquy’ that helps the person at prayer to start a friendly conversation with God where acts of praise and love, petition and thanksgiving are made, together with good resolutions for the future.

Ep. 345 - Trending Twitter Tuesday: Building Bridges and Humbling Moments

Rob uses Twitter in an attempt to find something of value to discuss this morning...but fails.  However, he discovers Indian Twitter and takes you with him on his wandering dialogue.  This episode is a direct reflection of where I'm at mentally recently on account of life on life's terms and the decision to leave my day job and the conflicting opinions about doing so.  Rob eventually begins talking about the final steps of his last two weeks and what he's doing in preparation to leave and how he continues to build bridges instead of burning them. He talks about doing all of this while working through and accomplishing his career goals for the 2022 year (ahead of schedule and in unexpected ways) - and concludes with a silly story about some stupid behaviors he engages in at times...the very behaviors that irritate and aggravate him.  The very same thing that he complains about that other people do!

Today we discuss "the art of de-escalation" and how communication can prevent life circumstances from getting to the point where it requires de-escalation.  Moreover, we examine the importance of getting to the root cause of the stressful situation at hand.  Also - we ask ourselves difficult questions such as:  Do the pros outweigh the cons?  Are you comfortable with your life?  Do you understand your why?  Is it worth it?  If you prefer to eat the proverbial shit sandwich, what are you *doing* to cope with these situations that require de-escalation in a healthy, positive, and beneficial way?   How are we creating an environment in our own lives that allows us to respond to these situations instead of letting life circumstances control us?  I'm no master - just a guy sharing his own experience based on your comments.~Do you have a question you'd like Rob to answer?   Perhaps you have some feedback for the show!   If you do...let us know!  You can do so in two different ways:  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth Send me an email - [email protected]~ Connect on social media!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth MeWe Group - https://mewe.com/join/theallaroundgrowthcommunityTwitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in April 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:

"What’s a Spring Tonic? The early settlers were firm believers in the restorative powers of early spring greens! Dandelion leaves, ramps, stewed rhubarb, boiled sassafras, wild strawberries, and young tender greens stimulated the digestion and strengthened the body after a long winter. Learn more..."  Join Rob as he discusses springtime sleeping with the peepers, power cycling with your computers, spring tonics, and how winter used to mean "lean" times before the spring season. Rob also discusses his experience with fasting, fermented foods and supplementation to rejuvenate and rebuild his own gut biome after years of neglect and abuse of food and alcohol. Also...discover the origin of the phrase “burning the candle at both ends”!  A frog leaps out across the lawn,  And crouches there—all heavy and alone,  And like a blossom, pale and over-blown,  Once more the moon turns dim against the dawn.  –Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)  What's your experience with fasting and spring tonics? Let us know in the group chat!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth ~Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in March 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:March 24, 2022Spring TonicsWhat’s a Spring Tonic?

"Life is too short for 'merry-go-round' sameness.  If you take that image, you know that if you step off a moving merry-go-round, you will have momentum that will project you straight out in some direction.  But rather an allowing that to be a random choice, think through the desired direction first.  Then take that step, expecting the inertia to give you a jump start to a new level of success.  Believe that a life of purpose and meaning is your best source of financial success as well.  I hope it's no secret that it's easier to make money doing something you love than doing something you hate.  Success is not an accident."One might think that Rob would do a "spring" show with the vernal equinox occurring yesterday...but the only constant in life is change - and he shares some upcoming changes that will be taking place with the show.  We are going to add some variety into the show as follows:  MondayMotivational MondaysChoose from one of three devotionalsTuesdayTrending Twitter TuesdaysWednesdayWILD CARDShow of Choice by RobThursdayOld Farmers Almanac UpdateFridayClosing out the weekAudience FeedbackThis will help provide some balance and diversity to the show.  The only constant in life is change.  Embrace it!  Do you have any ideas for a feedback show on Friday?  Let us know how in the group chat!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in March 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Rudder of the Day - 48 Days Online StoreDan Miller quotes Henry Ward Beecher in the introduction: "The first hour is the rudder of the day--the Golden Hour."

Ep. 308 - Springcasting and Transplanting Trees

"Don’t be tempted to start planting too soon! Average spring frosts are just a rough guide. Springcasting is a way to predict and track the progress of spring across the continent—as defined by plants. See when spring “officially” makes it to your neck of the woods."Join Rob as he talks about Springcasting and Transplanting Trees in the Springtime.  He also provides an update on the recent commercial kitchen inspection by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA), along with the inspection of our mobile refrigerator for farmers' market by the Medina County Health Department!  This is a mixed bag episode full of information!    Rob's also got some things to say about Master Gardeners, certifications, and diplomas - and how in real life...these things matter far less than the results one can provide via the experience one has.  Luckily, he gets the dialogue back on track to talk about Springcasting...but quite frankly Rob finds himself a little confused about the concepts of Springcasting before finally transitioning into some dialogue about transplanting woody perennials like trees.Have you ever heard of Springcasting?Let us know how in the group chat!  Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowth Flote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowth Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth ~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in March 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:March 18, 2022Many other mentioned show links are contained in the above post!OkraSpringcastingCorned Beef Hash and Eggs RecipeHow to Appear to Know More than You Really Do10 Things We Wish We'd Known Before Starting a GardenSPRINGCASTING: WHEN TO PLANT AS DEFINED BY PLANTS!York Meadow FarmCody Matthew Grey (@codymgrey) • Instagram photos and videosI grow good food for people who like good food. https://www.localline.ca/yellow-house-cheese

Ep. 298 - Exit and Build, Solar Cycle 25 Forecasts, History & Predictions

After a conversation this morning with our tenant farmer, Cody - Rob reflects on how the "home" is becoming a functional and operational homestead.  Gratitude plays a role in understanding and appreciating the dream that is starting to materialize after more than a decade of executing a plan to exit and build with family.   This led Rob to further reflect and understand what his calling might actually be...something that has become a bit more clear with setting goals, working with community and creating content...all things that YOU can do to document your journey and refine your personal vision.  The consistency in the process and the documentation leads to these moments of clarity - and often times these little moments of clarity are exactly what we need to get through the daily grind.   Rob also discusses Solar Cycle 25 Forecasts and Updates - along with observations of prior Solar Cycles and how they correspond with larger scale world events.  For example, the stock market and housing crash of 2008 occurred at the end of Solar Cycle 23 leading into Solar Cycle 24 and the events regarding SARS-CoV-2 occurred at the end of Solar Cycle 24 leading into Solar Cycle 25.  What is in store for Solar Cycle 25?Let us know what YOU think we can expect during this next 11 year Solar Cycle!Telegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth  Last episode before "go-time" Monday...Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in March 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Friday, March 4, 2022 Solar Cycle 25 Forecasts and UpdatesThe Fall of the Market in the Fall of 2008 - InvestopediaEp. 166 - SARS-CoV-2

Ep. 294 - The Old Farmer's Almanac

In today's show we talk about the transition of the seasons and the transitions of life.  Rob looks for new ways to find and create show content that is relevant to the homestead.  Over the past few seasons, Rob has pulled from several devotionals to begin each day - often times sharing the readings with you, along with stories and experience from his life.  Rob's focus is changing to that of one of the homestead, and realizes that referencing the Old Farmer's Almanac might be a consistent and reliable source to pull from to do exactly that.  The episode concludes with a short story about accomplishing goals and what it takes to achieve success - and how Rob was able to lose over 100 pounds as of Sunday 02/27/2022.  If YOU want to help with the management of the show - specifically on social media and the website...please connect with me at [email protected] and let's talk!  The Old Farmer's Almanac is a reference book containing weather forecasts, planting charts, astronomical data, recipes, and articles.

Ep. 290 - Entrepreneur vs Intrapraneur

Today's discussion stems from the discovery of a new word last night while reading before bed.  I made a few notes to myself and the result is today's show.  This conversation goes a mile a minute and discusses family, projects, economies, rising tides, and the ability to produce higher quality products and services when we do it together.  The path to becoming an entrepreneur can *start* by being an intrapreneur.How do you do that?  FIND AN OPPORTUNITY.  Most importantly - we must understand our *why* when we engage these processes.  We must let go of our past to enter the present and move into the future.  Otherwise the more things change the more they *will* remain the same in your life.  One of the most important things is the ability to show up and be consistent.  Be the leader you were born to be.   REMEMBER - OPPORTUNITY IS EVERYWHERE.  ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Entrepreneur vs. Intrapreneur: What's the Difference?The Fourth Industrial Revolution, by Klaus SchwabEp. 288 - Opportunity is EVERYWHERESelf-Authoring SuiteRob Kaiser YouTube ChannelMen of OrderCover Photo:  https://www.thepowermba.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ENTREPRENEUR-VS-INTRAPRENEUR-945x1024.png

Ep. 288 - Opportunity is EVERYWHERE

Inspired by an appearance on Unloose the Goose this past week, there was some great dialogue about "opportunity" and how it is everywhere - if we simply look for it.  One example of opportunity that came to mind was the  need for small butchers and home processors due to the increased demand for the processing of animals –and a great story about the LOTS project and what they’re doing, traveling and doing project work / site improvements for Hip Camp set up for property owners...creating opportunity everywhere they go.  We learn that by combining our skill set, with reframing our perspective on life......we can see that “Opportunity is EVERYWHERE” Today, I’m going to share a personal experience with you about this – experiences like this that some have attributed to “luck.”  I’ll explain the difference between “luck” and my experience...which were the result of deliberate living.~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Questions/Feedback?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:UnLoose the Goose #74 - Variety Show - YouTubeLOTS Project - Living Off Trusted SitesHome - Swannanoa GatheringWayne Erbsen - Native Ground Books and MusicThatchmore Farm Inc.Homepage - The North Carolina ArboretumMount Airy Blue Grass & Old-Time Fiddlers ConventionBehavioral Health | Functional Medicine | Cleveland Clinic💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 287 - Family Homestead Operations

Almost one year after Part 2 of Building a Commercial Kitchen series...Rob revisits the commercial kitchen and how this ties into Wayne's suggestion of sharing stories about what's going on around the farm.  Stay tuned for Part 3 coming up later this month!  Big shout out to Wayne for reaching out and suggesting that Rob needs write stories about what he does around the farm and share them here.  Rob also shares some of his reluctance in discussing the farm because of his limited involvement in all of the farm activity.  Sometimes, working in a "support capacity" makes it feel as though you aren't actively participating in the primary operations of a farm and homestead...but the reality is that this "behind the scenes" type of work is exactly what it takes to make a homestead work.   Today's show includes a brief snapshot of how we collectively operate here at York Meadow Farm in today's show...and this is worth considering as Rob looks at the big picture as operations begin to scale up here on the farm, especially with the fermented food production.  Many thanks to all of you who participate in the Telegram Group Chat and send emails with your feedback.  I sure do appreciate your engagement and I am grateful for the time you choose to spend with the audience and myself...you help create the show right beside me! ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Ep. 109 - Building a Commercial Kitchen – Part 1Ep. 117 - Building a Commercial Kitchen - Part 2York Meadow Farm

Ep. 284 - Living Out Your Calling

Are you living out your "calling" or do you just have job?  Ideally, your career will be a subset of your vocation, and your job will be a subset of your career.  As an example, if part of your vocation is to help reduce pain and suffering in the world, you may choose being a nurse as your career.  There are plenty of jobs for nurses.  Thus losing a job should never change your "calling."  If you are off track in your job, simply go back to your "vocation."  Do you know your "Calling" or are you just working a "job?"- The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller Today's show breaks down the meaning of the following words:  "job," "career," and "vocation."   Rob shares his experience with job and career changes - while feeling "called" to work further with his family on the homestead as time goes on...but what is his "calling?" ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller   York Meadow Farm - Commercial Kitchen Faucet Installation Photos

Ep. 282 - WHY Homestead? - FREEDOM

Here we are, almost 20 years later, and I'm finally realizing what it takes to homestead and how we're doing it...but I've never really talked about "why" I've chosen this path in life.  Why do I want to homestead?Over the past two days, we've discussed homesteading.  We've covered the very basics of "what" and "how" - but we've yet to discuss what is perhaps the most important question:Why?  In the same vein as the other shows, let's see what a quick internet search brings up:  "why homestead?"Initially, the draw for homesteading for me was a simple life.  The seed was planted in Western North Carolina, through the Slow Food movement.   The simple life seen through food, farmers markets, and old time music was very desirable.  Towards the end of my time there began the advent of social media...and my own "keeping up with the joneses"  Seed planted in NCGrew away from it during corporate yearsTransitioned from "liberal" to "conservative"Introduced to prepping in CA via "earthquake kit"Began listening to Alex Jones ~2010Heard of Jack Spirko via Alex Jones ~2011Began listening to Jack SpirkoBegan assembling CA exit strategy in 2012Capitalized on Project Coordinator opportunity in 2013 to expedite move home2014 began work at Davis Tree FarmAssembling exit strategy now?  - another topic for another dayEnd of the day......why I'm homesteadingSimple life......concerns about SHTF~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowth~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:7 Reasons You Should Homestead (And 2 Reasons You ...Why Homestead? - Mother Earth News5 Reasons Why the Homesteading Lifestyle is AwesomeSlow Food InternationalFarmers' Markets - LocalHarvestLocal Food Directories: National Farmers Market DirectoryInfowars: There's a War on For Your Mind!The Survival Podcast · Helping you live a better life, if times get tough or even if they don't

Ep. 281 - How to Homestead

In today's episode titled "How to Homestead" I'm going to share my experience thus far with doing so, pulling from a few different blog posts after a quick search for "how to homestead."  You can follow along by going down your own wormholes by searching for "how to homestead" in your own internet search browser of choice - while listening in today!  In yesterday's show, we asked ourselves "What is a Homestead?"  After talking about that, Rob drilled it down to three core concepts that lead to the idea of self-sufficiency:  Relationships / Family   Land   Cultivation  If anything - a homestead becomes a mindset.   Which leads to the next question:   How do you do it?  That's what today's episode is all about!  Rob is realizing that a focus on the homestead and other aspects of life brings him joy and peace when he has trouble finding that in other aspects of his life...and references the 2022 Goal Setting Workbook by Dan Miller - a great tool for finding balance in life.  This episode is almost a culmination of 15 years of thought  after the idea of "homesteading" first entered his mind as a viable lifestyle option.  Rob provides a bit of history regarding the land where he currently lives...the very same land that he encouraged his family to sell.  He's come full circle and now lives on the land he once resented and now looks to his family and the land as one of the few remaining things in life that brings him joy and peace in life.  As the dialogue continues  - Rob realizes that many of the challenges in life come from a lack of forward thinking...and how forward thinking is a *requirement* when it comes to the growth and development of a homestead.  Surround yourself with forward thinking people.He also ties the discussion back into the Baby Steps of Financial Peace University - and firmly believes that freedom from debt and effective management of personal finances is the foundation to building not only the life...but the *homestead* of our dreams as well.  ~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:How to Start a Homestead: 9 Must-Read Tips for New Homesteaders Homesteading For Beginners | Your Homestead Quick Start Guide 7 Ways to Start a Homestead (Without Being Overwhelmed)THE Wealth Building Secret— Financial Goals - Men of Order💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 280 - What is a Homestead?

Today - we dig into building the homestead of our dreams.  Over the past few weeks and months...there's been a lot of talk about building the life of our dreams with talk of goals in the seven different aspects of life:  Financial, Physical, Personal Development, Family, Spiritual, Social, and Career.  Those are wonderful - but how do they integrate into the homestead?   So today, we are going to dive into the topic of "What is a Homestead?"  We will review a few dictionary definitions and an introductory homesteading blog post before we dive into the key takeaways from all of it today, which are:Relationships / FamilyLandCultivationSelf-Sufficiency~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Discussion Links:Homestead Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com Homestead - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com Homesteading 101: What Is It and the Essential Steps to Get Started, by Morning Chores blog

Rob capitalizes on his ability to work remotely today and we have a recording from the home office today.  Join us as we read from The Rudder of the Day, by Dan Miller.   BLACK CRABS - BE ONE AND DIE  Be careful who you allow to influence your thinking and actions!  Who are the Black Crabs in your life?  How can you avoid them or move on?  These are thought provoking questions posited from The Rudder of the Day, by Dan Miller.   He writes, "The importance of planting wholesome, life-enriching thoughts in our minds in that first hour of the day cannot be overemphasized. I never read the paper first thing in the morning, no matter how important it may seem to know the news. The news is filled with rape, murder, pestilence, and heartache, and that is not the input I want in my brain. Later in the day, I can scan the news for anything related to my areas of interest and quickly sort through what I need. But I carefully protect that first hour of the day, making sure that all input is positive, clean, pure, creative and inspirational."  ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in February 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Discussion Links:The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller   48 Days Eagles Community You've felt the nudge to "do your own thing" for a while now (maybe even your whole life)...Join us!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ep. 275 - Ubiquity

Today is another day of discussion inspired by the book "365 Tao", by Deng Ming-Dao.  We often live a life that is out of balance with nature. Nature is God, the Spirit, Tao, the Infinite Creator, however you choose to define it. Tune in today as we dive deep into the spiritual and talk about a life of balance.  In today's show, I incorrectly quoted myself as "Tao is God, but God is not Tao."However, I beg to differ with myself and would argue:  "God is Tao, but Tao is not God." "One of the ideas that I have come to embrace is this idea that...it's not necessarily about doing what I want to do and setting the goals that I want to set, but it's trying to live a life that allows me to understand what God wants, what it is the Spirit wants, what it is the Tao wants..."

Ep. 274 - Orientation

Despite being in the midst of winter on a 7 degree morning, Rob shares how the seasonal change is upon us...and also forgets to discuss the seasonal change as he got too busy waxing philosophical on the day's reading from the devotional titled 365 Tao.  Rob spends a good part of the episode talking about finding balance in life - which is not surprising after reading:  "Those who follow Tao understand that a diverse personality is problematic only if some aspects dominate to the exclusion of others.  This is unbalanced."  Tune in to hear more about finding equilibrium in life, maintaining a strong mind, and the consistency that is needed to prevent deviation from the course we want to remain on.   More updates to come on the Farmers' Market 2022 Season to come!  ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in January 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Discussion Links:365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-DaoFREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook 7 Steps to Make 2022 Your Best Year EVER! - Men of Order💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 273 - Reverse the Phenomenon

Describe a time in your life when you "expected" a negative outcome.   What happened?   This is a thought provoking question posited from The Rudder of the Day, by Dan Miller.   He writes, "The importance of planting wholesome, life-enriching thoughts in our minds in that first hour of the day cannot be overemphasized. I never read the paper first thing in the morning, no matter how important it may seem to know the news. The news is filled with rape, murder, pestilence, and heartache, and that is not the input I want in my brain. Later in the day, I can scan the news for anything related to my areas of interest and quickly sort through what I need. But I carefully protect that first hour of the day, making sure that all input is positive, clean, pure, creative and inspirational."  Rob shares how his negative expectations eventually manifested in his behaviors and actions - creating a vicious cycle that continued to become more negative...and the tools he is using to empower himself to repattern his brain and create a more positive and balanced life.  ~ Connect on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthFlote - https://flote.app/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in January 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~  Discussion Links:The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller    FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook  Backpack Studio - Leave your equipment at home.

Ep. 272 - Changing Your Mindset

Flow State and Mindset Change from Proactive Communication  -  In today's episode, Rob talks about recent developments that have contributed to the desired change in mindset regarding his day job...much of which is a direct result of proactive communication.  Rob also shares about how easily he's been able to enter the flow state on account of a project that he's decided to take on based on the environment he has found himself in at work.  Proactive communication can often lead to obtaining the information that we need to make decisions and take action to move forward and beyond the challenges we experience in life.  Reflection shows that Rob often "stews" on things...doing exactly the opposite of proactive communication.  He shares how he is recognizing these patterns of behavior - and some of the steps he is taking to actively change them.  He understands that the lack of communication can lead to resentment, and how that resentment most likely translated into his own behaviors, which led to others not wanting to communicate with him, turning into a vicious cycle over a period of months, maybe years.  Rob is learning that proactive communication can literally save your life, and draws some analogies between the green industry and life...living it from season to season - while at the same time, looking at his long term goals via the 2022 Goal Setting Workbook, by Dan Miller.It is important to put ourselves in situations where we are placed outside our comfort zones, for these moments of positive stress provide opportunities for further growth and development of our selves - often times providing more than we could have imagined.The episode concludes with Rob expressing gratitude for the flexibility his employer has provided over recent months and years with all of the health issues previously experienced and all of the flexibility regarding the current work he is doing with Functional Medicine.  ~Links:   ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in January 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ 💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 271 - Doing the Things We Don't Want to Do

Join Rob as he talks freely about doing the things we don't want to do.  If we do the things we don't want to do, we are more likely to succeed with our goals.  If we succeed with our goals, we succeed in our lives.  Learn some tools to "get it together" if you're feeling "out of sorts."  We talk about how we define ourselves and often times we do so by our employment.  There's more to life beyond employment and Rob talks about how he is never satisfied...never satisfied with the small talk and never satisfied with the mediocrity of the norm.  We talk about what we *can* do when we're not unable to do what we *want* to do.  There are no excuses for *not* doing anything anything, no matter how hard you try.  At the end of the day, it all comes down to doing things we don't want to do.  Remember, we want to build bridges, not burn them.  Concluding thoughts...Rob teases a future episode that will be titled "New Shit Has Come to Light" and the approach he's decided to utilize when it comes to looking for a raise.  ~Links:   Self Authoring - What is Self Authoring?~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in January 2022 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]

On a morning of a new fallen snow, we read from The Rudder of the Day - and talk about change...and how familiarity may be keeping us from progressing toward a better life.  He discusses recent changes in the Financial Peace University course and draws parallels to other aspects of life, including his day job.  Tune in today and see how this relates to your life!  Learn how to understand that you are NOT normal - and learn additional ways of thinking that we can utilize to get beyond the hurdles that a positive mindset can sometimes present. Rob also shares some stories and experience about bullshit and a favorite saying of his:   "What you do speaks so loud I can't hear what you say."This mindset doesn't simply apply to our jobs.  They apply to life - and are best applied when we live a balanced life.  Gain some insight and tools into how to live a balanced life.  Also...learn THE financial secret to success! "Seek out ways you can bring new methods and innovation to what you do... Find something in your life today that ain't broke and break it!  Look for ways to experiment with 'break it' thinking."~ Dan Miller  What one thing can you do today to break out of a predictable habit? Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller    FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook   48 Days Community - Learn More HereFinancial Peace UniversityGeorge Bush's "Fool Me Once" Gaffe~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do thi💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 266 - Initiative

Today's show begins with a reading from 365 Tao.   This treasury of life-enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life.  Each daily entry begins with a one-word title and it's Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.  A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful meditation on the day's Taoist principle.   Join Rob as he begins speaking about  getting "swept into the vortex" of confusion that stems from words, language, and how that often times prevents us from receiving the true gift of the spirituality in our lives.  This is applicable to all forms of communication in life.  There's a lot of talk about action in today's reading from the devotional as well - which is relevant on account of all of the recent dialogue over the past few months on setting goals for this year and beyond.  If you're struggling to set goals, utilize this FREE goal setting guide!    Additionally, there is discussion about new project Rob is contributing to called Men-Of-Order.  Men of Order is an open community for sharing ideas, building relationships, and empowering men to be the leaders and creators they are meant to be—Men of Order.   Finally, Rob wraps up the dialogue and closing thoughts on our actions - and how we must be complete with our actions.  The results of our consistent actions provide consistent results.   "Then initiative is insufficient, and Tao has not been attained."Let us not be confusedWith kaleidoscopic reality. Using wisdom and courage to act,Let us not add to the confusion.~ Deng Ming-Dao   ~Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  The Essential Tao : An Initiation into the Heart of Taoism Through the Authentic Tao Te Ching and the Inner Teachings of Chuang-Tzu - by Thomas Cleary The Strangest Secret by Earl NightingaleFREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook   7 Steps to Make 2022 Your Best Year EVER! - Men of OrderMen of Order~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Notes:N💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 265 - The Economy of God

Join Rob as he reads from Strength for Today - and learn why this particular reading stood out to him.   For example, we gain a better understanding of words when we read "...we get our English word economy from the Greek word oikonomia."  Rob examines the economy and the "administration of man vs the administration of God" and discusses how we, as a society, are becoming detached from God.   He talks about the separation of the spiritual and how problematic it has become.  Delving into the separation of the spiritual from societal life has led Rob to integrate spirituality back into his own life and has led him down some interesting rabbit holes, one of which he expands on in today's show.   Concluding thoughts lead Rob to speaking of the simple life he hopes to create for the future.  ~Links:   Today's Daily Devotional:    Strength for Today - David Jeremiah  Ephesians 3:8-9 NASB1995OIKOS Tree Crops: New Seeds Bring a New CropRed Pill Sunday School S1 E1 with Clint Richardson 9-17-2017Self Authoring - What is Self Authoring?All Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)   ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Notes:N/A

Ep. 263 - Folder 17:9

Join Rob as he reads from Strength for Today - and learn why he *didn't* want to utilize this as fodder for today's discussion, and also why this particular situation is analogous to the comfortable familiarity in life where we often find ourselves in for various reasons.  The root of the discussion today is forgiveness.  Rob talks about how forgiveness often times is at odds with his ego and how uncomfortable being mindful of all of this is.  Learn how Rob is putting himself in uncomfortable positions in life in order to continue the journey of growth.  Uncertainty is terrifying.  The fear of the unknown is one of the drivers behind what we *don't* do.  It's one of the biggest motivators that keeps us justifying our current  set of circumstances...  Just how comfortable is the mediocrity of our life?Rob dives into the confidence that he has, how he gained the confidence and how fear doesn't simply "go away" when we gain confidence.  It means we have an entirely new skill set to learn - how to deal with new fears and dealing with things we don't necessarily want to deal with.  Are you more interested in burning bridges or building them?Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   Today's Daily Devotional:    Strength for Today - David Jeremiah  Proverbs 17:9The Strangest Secret by Earl NightingaleFREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook   48 Days Community - Learn More HereAll Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)   ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is chang💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Today, Rob reflects back on how the writings of Henry David Thoreau has impacted him throughout the course of his adult life.  He reflects on a life that is busy vs a life that is full, and how that impacts a balanced and simple life.  Rob also shares how he was able to gain clarity on how to achieve a simple life through taking steps to achieve financial peace.What would your life look like if you really had a simple life?  Perhaps we, like Thoreau, could take time to savor the beauty of nature around us and to smell the fresh roses of everyday life.  "Simplify, Simplify"  "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller    Proverbs 30:8-9Financial Peace UniversityAll Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)   ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Notes:N/A

Moon above water.  Sit in solitude.   ~ Deng Ming-Dao   Today's show begins with Rob reading from a devotional titled 365 Tao.   This treasury of life-enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life.  Each daily entry begins with a one-word title and it's Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.  A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful meditation on the day's Taoist principle.   Join Rob as he makes a trip into the BIG CITY today, for another follow up appointment in his Functional Medicine journey and "the big picture."  Today, he reflects on all that - and it's appropriate to do so today, considering the day's reading from the 365 Tao is titled "Reflect."We talk about what happens when we "try" to reflect or meditate...and how it often seems impossible vs how reflection and meditation becomes almost habitual when we incorporate these moments of stillness into our lives - and do so with consistency.  There's a lot to be said for consistency...and a how this applies to setting goals. Chances are...you have NOT set goals for 2022.And - if you have New Year's Resolutions...the likelihood is that you WON'T accomplish them!Tune in today and find out how why that's the case and what to do to fix the problems!~~   Disclaimer : There are affiliate links in this article, where you also have the opportunity to support the podcast and the community by utilizing products or services actively being put to use by the community.   Links:   365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  Financial Peace UniversityFREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook  All Around Growth Community Group Chat (Telegram)  ~  Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast Telegram Channel for show updates ONLY:    https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~  Connect and share on social media!  Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in December 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~ Notes:

Ep. 252 - Where is the Purity in Our Lives?

Today, Rob returns to the morning commute - instead of taking the week off between the Christmas and New Year holiday.  This is a fitting read, as many of us are on the cusp of BIG change for the upcoming year 2022...which begins this week, on Saturday.   Question:   Are you not making progress in your life because you're making excuses?  Or...have you modified your current path to make room for new circumstances in your life for growth? Rob talks about how the show is not what it used to be and the change that is taking place as he contemplates the question above...while getting derailed by someone who appears to get upset because on occasion I drive a little slowly in the morning - like an old man at times.   Where is the purity in our lives?    We also talk about New Year's Resolutions and how there is no "starting tomorrow" - and how there is NO excuse if we are *truly* committed to something.   Everything we do, everything we do NOT do...we all make choices.  Seek purity - and find out how I do that in future episodes!   ~   Links:   365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  Self Journal - Use my personal VIP code "YMF" for 15% off your first order!  FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook   ~  If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~ Please spread the word and share on social media as well! Twitter - https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowthTelegram Broadcast Channel - https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcastTelegram Group Chat - https://t.me/allaroundgrowth~Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~ How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in November 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]~Notes:  Purity..."Seek purity.  It may not be easy.  It may not be common.  But it is the one state that we can attain that is without compromise."  ~ Deng Ming-Dao

Ep. 248 - Christmas Peace

Today, we discuss the feelings of discombobulation from yesterday's show - and how sometimes this is exactly what we need to experience in the midst of life transitions.  We also dive into come methodologies to discover the root cause of the issues we experience and how to address them and set goals to move beyond that which holds us back in life.Simplification is also key to finding peace in life.  Part of the simplification is embracing Christ.    We need nothing to do so, and if we think about the ROI on doing so, nothing else compares.  Nothing required to invest, but the gains are immeasurable.    Life / Goal Setting Metrics:FinancialPhysicalPersonal DevelopmentFamilySpiritualSocialCareer~ Links:   Strength for Today - David Jeremiah  FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook  Holistic PsychotherapyLiving the life of your dreams starts with a solid financial plan.

Ep. 239 - The Strangest Secret 2.0

"Every one of us is the sum total of his own thoughts.

What’s become of the dreams, the hopes, the plans? And why is there such a large disparity between what these men intended to do, and what they actually accomplished?When we say about 5% achieve success, we have to define success. And here’s the definition I’ve ever been able to find:Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.If a man is working toward a predetermined goal and knows where he’s going, that man is a success. If he’s not doing that, he’s a failure. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.2.NOW WHY DO THESE PEOPLE CONFORM?Well, they don’t know really. These people believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances, by things that happen to them by exterior forces, they’re outer-directed people.A survey was made one time that covered a lot of men, working men, and these men were asked, “Why do you work?” “Why do you get up in the morning?” 19 out of 20 had no idea.If you ask them they will say, “Everyone goes to work in the morning,” and that’s the reason they do it – because everyone else is doing it.Now, let’s get back to our definition of success.WHO SUCCEEDS?The only man who succeeds is the man who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. He is the man who says, “I am going to become this,” and then begins to work towards that goal.3.WHY DO MEN WITH GOALS SUCCEED IN LIFE, AND MEN WITHOUT THEM FAIL?Well, let me tell you something which, if you really understand it, will alter your life immediately.If you understand completely what I’m going to tell you from this moment on, your life will never be the same again. You will suddenly find that good luck just seems to be attracted to you, the things you want just seem to fall in line.And from now on you won’t have the problems, the worries, the gnawing lump of anxiety that perhaps you’ve experienced before. Doubt, fear, well, they will be things of the past.Here is the key to success and the key to failure. We become what we think about.Now let me say that again. We become what we think about.

In most cultures, food plays a major role in familial bonding, celebrations, and ceremonies.  Through food, we connect with friends and family, and the memories we make with them are often recalled when smelling or tasting familiar foods. The action of eating also integrates the mind with the body, and this mind-body connection influences how we experience the world around us. ~n  The loss of the shared family meal with food prepared from scratch has been part of the transformation that is feeding the chronic disease cycle.

Ep. 236 - The Golden Hour

QUESTION:  How do you start your day?  ~"Be very careful how you start your morning. You are planting the seeds for what the day will hold. If you get up late, grab a cup of bad coffee and a Twinkie, rush to work fuming at the idiots in traffic, and drop down exhausted at your desk at 8:10, you have set the tone for your day. Everything will seem like pressure and your best efforts will be greatly diluted.The importance of planting wholesome, life-enriching thoughts in our minds in that first hour of the day cannot be overemphasized. I never read the paper first thing in the morning, no matter how important it may seem to know the news. The news is filled with rape, murder, pestilence, and heartache, and that is not the input I want in my brain. Later in the day, I can scan the news for anything related to my areas of interest and quickly sort through what I need. But I carefully protect that first hour of the day, making sure that all input is positive, clean, pure, creative and inspirational."The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller   ~Links:   Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    The Rudder of the Day  - by Dan Miller  FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook48 Days Eagles Community...break free from monotony, find your true purpose, and create not only work, but a full life you thrive in.~Notes:Rob's Golden Hour:IMMEDIATELY upon waking:  HydrationMovementCold ShowerBegin Playing Background Audio:The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale Reading / WritingSelf Journal - Use my personal VIP code "YMF" for 15% off your first order! ~Four Pillars of Health:NutritionMovementStressSleep~ If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in November 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]

Ep. 234 - Start a Fire

"According to the science of complexity, when a living system is in a state of equilibrium, it is less responsive to change.  Prolonged sameness can therefore leave a system vulnerable and open to major disaster.  An example in nature would be the absolute prevention of forest fires.  To keep the parks open to visitors, we see a constant emphasis on fire prevention.  But fires are a natural part of the cycle of regeneration and cleansing for that system.  Preventing even small fires allows a buildup of the undergrowth so that when a fire does occur, rather than just cleaning out the groundcover, it destroys even the tall mature trees.  In recent years, we have seen the stories of raging fires, consuming valuable trees, expensive homes, and businesses as they are fueled by years of undergrowth.Is the sameness and constancy in your life a blessing or is it leaving you vulnerable?  Is 20 years on the same job a sign of great loyalty or has it made you complacent and  unaware of the changes that have occurred in the workplace?  Do you resist change at all costs?..."The Rudder of the Day  - Dan Miller   ~Links:   The Rudder of the Day  - by Dan Miller  FREE DOWNLOAD - 2022 Goal Setting Workbook48 Days Eagles Community...break free from monotony, find your true purpose, and create not only work, but a full life you thrive in.Past Episodes on 2022 Goal Setting:  Thursday, 11/04 Ep. 219 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 1 - Intro / Financial)Thursday, 11/04 Ep. 220 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 2 - Physical)Monday, 11/08 Ep. 221 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 3 - Personal Development)Tuesday, 11/09 Ep. 222 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 4 - Family)Wednesday, 11/10 Ep. 223 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 5 - Spiritual)Thursday, 11/11 Ep. 224 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 6 - Social)Friday, 11/12 Ep. 225 - 2022 Goal Setting (Part 7 - Career)~ If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of r💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Ep. 227 - Sustaining (365 Tao)

Orange and gold carp, Living beneath ice. Uncaring of the world above, Sustained by the water below. In the rapidly chilling autumn, ponds begin to ice over.  The waters become deep, dark, and mysterious, but in those depths the fish can survive the coming winter.  Tao may be known as directly as water knowable to a fish.  My Tao will not be the same as your Tao.  We are both individuals, with different background and thoughts.  As soon as Tao enters into us, it takes on the colors of our inner personalities.  When it passes out of us, it returns again to its universal nature.  This is an ongoing and constant process, like water flowing through a fish's gills.  Just as the water nurtures the fish, so too does Tao nurture and sustain us.  As long as we continue our immersion in Tao, we will be as safe as a carp in water.  When we separate from Tao, we are as helpless as a fish out of water.~This treasury of life-enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life.  Each daily entry begins with a one-word title and it's Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.A brief, poetic aphorism providing the theme, followed by a clear, insightful meditation on the day's Taoist principle.   Links:   365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  ~If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast AppThis really *does* affect the algorithm......as of recording in November 2021 - I would invite you to do this!The podcast game is changing - help us with a rating and review!~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?Send me an email at [email protected]

Ep. 211 - Why Do We Become What We Think About?

Well I’ll tell you how it works as far as we know. Now to do this I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.  Suppose a farmer has some land. And it’s good fertile land. Now the land gives the farmer a choice. He may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn’t care. It’s up to the farmer to make the decision.  Now remember we are comparing the human mind with the land because, the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.  Now let’s say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand: one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds, one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters, and takes care of the land.  And what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what is planted. As it’s written in the Bible, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”  Remember, the land doesn’t care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants – one corn, one poison.Now the human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn’t care what we plant success… failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety, and so on. But what we plant it will return to us.You see the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on the earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.Now you might say, well if that’s true, why don’t people use their minds more?Well I think they’ve figured out an answer to that one too.Our mind comes as standard equipment at birth. It’s free. And things that are given to us for nothing, we place little value on. Things that we pay money for, we value. The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true. Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free: our mind, our soul, our body, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free.But the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time.A good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune. He can do that several times. Even if our home burns down, we can rebuild it. But the things we got for nothing, we can never replace.The human mind isn’t used merely because we take it for granted. “Familiarity breeds contempt”. It can do any kind of job we assign to it, but generally speaking, we use it for little jobs instead of big important ones.Universities have proved that most of us are operating on about 10% of our abilities.Decide now. What is it you want? Plant your goal in your mind. It’s the most important decision you’ll ever make in your entire life.Links:   Ep. 49 - The Strangest Secret in the WorldToday's episode is a brief snipped from an audio recording of The Strangest Secret in the World, by Earl Nightengale - and comes to you after some technical difficulties this morning upon arrival at the day job.  Please enjoy this audio clip and the link above to the past episode.

Ep. 209 - Waiting on God

"The digital age - specifically the Internet and various messaging methods - has helped shrink the world and eliminate time delays.  But when it comes to communicating with God, the digital age hasn't changed anything except perhaps made us more impatient with God.  We are used to getting answers and replies to questions promptly, and we forget that God works on His timetable, not ours.  But when an answer or response from God takes time, we are forced to stop, think, consider, evaluate, meditate, contemplate, revise, repent - and most of all, let God be God.  God is not impoulsive, nor should we be.  Not getting immediate answers, if that's how God responds, forces us to be more patient.Are waiting on God, know there is a reson for His delay.  What may seem like a delay on earlth may be the fulfillment of a divine purpose in heaven."Links:   Strength for Today - David Jeremiah  365 Tao,  by Deng Ming-Dao  If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast App~Please spread the word and share on social media as well! Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Email me at [email protected]

Ep. 207 - A Box Full of Parts

"Finding a career focus is normally a long-term process - not a decision made by an 18 yr old.  Career choices are not for the most part logical and rational - the good ones are much more intuitive and clarified by life experience.  That's why those of you who are already 35-40+ are in a better position to make good career decisions.  What have you done in the real world has been preparing you to make clearer, more meaningful decisions than what you could possibly have done at age 18-20.  Career decisions made at 18 seldom define the most fulfilling options 20 years later.  Life is the ultimate educational experience that helps us make good decisions.  And keep in mind that academic institutions are often safe, socially acceptable places to hide out while procrastinating having to make real choices."  - Dan MillerHave you found your career path?Are you confident that you are now on the perfect path?Links:   The Rudder of the Day  - by Dan Miller  48 Days Eagles CommunityDan Miller's 48 Days Eagles Community helps driven, smart, creative individuals like you who are willing to take action to break free from monotony, find your true purpose, and create not only work, but a full life you thrive in.If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, you can join the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  ~How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast App~Please spread the word and share on social media as well! Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ~Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Email me at [email protected]

In this late release of the show, Rob provides an After Action Review (AAR) on his experience with the Functional Medicine Department at the Cleveland Clinic and his experience in the city after leaving the campus of the Cleveland Clinic.  Functional Medicine Notes from meeting with Dr. Michael Siciliano:Emphasis on the ties between gut health and neurological wellness.  Gut Health "3 R's"Remove (bad bacteria, etc)RepairReplace (with good bacteria, etc)Comprehensive exam including review of all notes previously submitted in the LivingMatrix system - and you can learn more about all leading up to this exam in the previous episode here:Ep. 178 - A Focus on Health and The FutureMost of the dialogue was about my diet, my previous supplement regime, stool tests to further examine gastrointestinal health, and tests including, but not limited to:CK levelsICE / IGGG Food ReactionsMoldOmega Fatty Acid levelsIodine levelsAdrenal stress profileMale hormone panelAdrenal Salivary IndexRegarding diet, I will be engaging in a grain-free elimination diet.  You can learn more about the elimination diet here.  Below is a link to material further discussed with the nutritionist:The Institute for Functional Medicine’s Elimination Diet Comprehensive Guide and Food PlanThe above link will provide you with a free download of The Institute for Functional Medicine's Elimination Diet Comprehensive Guide - but to make it easy for you, I've linked to it here:The Institute for Functional Medicine's Elimination Diet Comprehensive Guide He also recommended that I begin a supplementary protocol once all lab work and testing has been completed.  I will try to follow up with the specific supplements I will be taking in a future episode.  He wanted to see me in 8 weeks...but he's booked into December, and I'm on a waiting list to see him earlier - and was advised that as soon as an opening occurs to jump on it *immediately* as open spots in the Functional Medicine department are filled quickly.After that, I went to the lab to have the most comprehensive panel of lab work ever done.  There were thirty-three (33) vials of blood taken to be analyzed both in house and off site.Following the lab work, I met with Kevin Heine, who will be serving as my health coach.  We will be discussing immediate next steps and putting together an action plan after the information gathering phase.  He focused discussion on what he calls the 4 Pillars of Health:Four Pillars of Health:NutritionMovementSleepStressThe two primary areas of focus in Functional medicine are Nutrition and Stress.Luckily the health coaching is part and parcel of working with the Functional Medicine Department - and there is no additional billing required (as I'll likely be paying a significant portion of this out of pocket, as insurance doesn't cover much of Functional Medicine).Before leaving, I ended up meeting with Katherine Straub, who will be my nutritionist.  We spent a considerable amount of time discussing Functional Nutrition, which I will detail out in a future episode for lack of room to write...

Ep. 179 - Misfortune, Education, and Stoicism

"To accuse others of one's own misfortune is a sign of want of education, To accuse oneself shows that the education has begun, To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one's education is complete." - Epictetus LIFE CHANGING Quotes - STOICISM "Part of what makes Stoicism fascinating to study is that three of its most well-known practitioners ranged widely in terms of where they stood in society. Think of Marcus Aurelius, the emperor of the Roman Empire holding one of the most powerful positions in the world. Think of Seneca, who was an adviser to an emperor, renowned playwright and one of the richest people in the Roman Empire. And then there is Epictetus, on the complete opposite, who was born as a slave. That’s what makes Stoicism so powerful: it can provide timeless principles to help us in both good and bad fortune, no matter our station our life.Epictetus was born nearly 2,000 years ago in Hierapolis (present-day Pamukkale in Turkey) as a slave in a wealthy household. Epaphroditus, his owner, gave him the permission to pursue liberal studies and it is how Epictetus discovered philosophy through the Stoic Musonius Rufus who became his teacher and mentor. Later, Epictetus obtained his freedom shortly after emperor Nero’s death and started teaching philosophy in Rome for nearly 25 years. This lasted until emperor Domitian famously banished all philosophers in Rome. Epictetus fled to Nicopolis in Greece where he founded a philosophy school and taught there until his death..."Read more...https://dailystoic.com/epictetus/~Subscribe to the All Around Growth Podcast channel for show updates ONLY:  https://t.me/allaroundgrowthpodcast  If you want to participate in a group chat with fellow audience members on a similar path, consider joining the community on our Telegram chat group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth    ​~​Apple Podcasts listeners...here's a short, one-minute video just for you!* How To Leave a Rating & Review in Apple Podcast App​~​All listeners are encouraged to give the show a rating on your podcast player of choice.  Ratings and reviews help with the algorithms and exposure to new audience members!  ​~​Please spread the word and share on social media as well! Follow this link to ALL EPISODES   ​~​Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Email me at [email protected] OR join the community!t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 170 - Where are YOU with your goals?

We are well over 50% into 2021 - Where are you with your goals?!  Today, Rob discusses his goals for 2021, and getting primed for 2022 goals.  He also discusses utilization of an exercise called the "Past Year Review," inspired by Tim Ferriss and expanded upon and refined after years of implementation.Resources:"Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' Instead" - Tim Ferrisshttps://tim.blog/2018/12/28/past-year-review/Notes:Grab a notepad and create two columns: POSITIVE and NEGATIVE.Go through your calendar from the last year, looking at every week.For each week, jot down on the pad any people or activities or commitments that triggered peak positive or negative emotions for that month. Put them in their respective columns.Once you’ve gone through the past year, look at your notepad list and ask, “What 20% of each column produced the most reliable or powerful peaks?”Based on the answers, take your “positive” leaders and schedule more of them in the new year. Get them on the calendar now! Book things with friends and prepay for activities/events/commitments that you know work. It’s not real until it’s in the calendar. That’s step one. Step two is to take your “negative” leaders, put “NOT-TO-DO LIST” at the top, and put them somewhere you can see them each morning for the first few weeks of 2019. These are the people and things you *know* make you miserable, so don’t put them on your calendar out of obligation, guilt, FOMO, or other nonsense.Rob's Notes after performing exercise:Peak Triggered Emotions:Positive - 55 (2018 - 64)Negative - 36 (2018 - 15)Columns inserted into an Excel SpreadsheetAdditional columns to add for filtering each line item by:Positive EmotionNegative EmotionOrder of entry (time frame when it was entered during the 2019 calendar year)Any action resulting from that emotionHow it’s rated on a scale of 1-5 regarding joy / non-joy For assembling the list of what to schedule in the calendar year and how to assemble your NOT to-do listCategory of line itemHow it corresponds with my project tracking softwareFinancial, Personal, Davis, Health, YMF, DLS, etcCategorization and labeling of the Past Year Review in Excel makes for easy prioritization of a longer listEasy to refine lists and make actionable tasks that matter instead of resolutions that never get followed through with2020 NOT-To-Do List GeneratedRecurring Task Generated titled:  "Schedule 'Positives' for 2020 Calendar Year"This recurring weekly task has the Excel spreadsheet attached for ease of referenceWill review the 2019 Year End Positives during Weekly ReviewAction item based on the past year review that will hopefully result in even greater positives for the following yearFollow steps for this year!Join the All Around Growth community!  t.me/allaroundgrowth     If you listen to podcasts via iTunes and Apple Podcasts...  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here

Ep. 166 - SARS-CoV-2

In today's episode, Rob discusses how a local community has requested his feedback on how they should respond to the CDC’s most recent guidance regarding wearing masks while indoors, even if vaccinated.  The full transcript of the letter can be found in the All Around Growth Telegram Group chat.  t.me/allaroundgrowth  My response to the email I received is as follows:  I vote No. Initially, I was going to abstain from a vote - because it seemed unclear to me what we were actually voting *on*"A letter will be sent to the congregation." This had been made clear.It seems as though feedback is being sought moreover than a vote, but further reading and deliberation led me to vote "no" Here are some additional details why.I joined this church for several reasons, one of which is the community that so welcomes and loves me.In return, I felt compelled to participate within the community by giving back and serving.It was the people that solidified my understanding of what it means to be a part of a "united and uniting church."Unfortunately, I feel as though we have also fallen victim to the polarization and division that has resulted from SARS-CoV-2.I do not wish to dismiss the virus and its impact, rather to acknowledge the very real results of it over the last 12-18 months.Together, we are doing exactly that, providing feedback on the following statement proposed for delivery to the congregation:“Let each of you look not to your own interest, but to the interests of others.” -Philippians 2:4The CDC is currently recommending that individuals, even those who have been vaccinated, once again wear masks when indoors, if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission.  Medina County is currently at the substantial level of transmission.  While we are not requiring it, we are recommending that everyone, including individuals who have been vaccinated, wear a mask when attending indoor church services.  This would include children ages 5 an up.  This is in an effort to protect our children and those who are not able to receive the vaccine.  Please understand that it is our goal that by taking this precaution, we will be able to continue in-person worship services and keep our church family and community healthy.  Finally, we urge everyone who can, to get vaccinated as soon as possible.As a Congregationalist, I cannot in good faith support the sentence concluding the previous statement:"Finally, we urge everyone who can, to get vaccinated as soon as possible."As a Congregationalist, I support a united and uniting church that respects our freedom of choice, despite our differences.Moreover, as a council member, I think it is one thing for the council to communicate what the CDC guidelines are......it is another to take it upon ourselves to urge the congregation to participate in medical procedures.Subsequently, I vote "no" on sharing a letter to the congregation written with the inclusion of this statement.I believe we should leave the decision to attend services to those attending and respect the decisions of those who opt to stay home.Moreover, we've taken active steps to improve the streaming capabilities of the services for those who are not comfortable in person.As Congregationalists, I believe now more than ever the need for respect among those whose opinions differ than ours.Thank youRob KaiserJoin the conversation: t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 163 - Decline

"Fog chills heaven to gray, Nights come earlier.  Everyone knows decline, But few discern its border.  Although it is summer and there are many warm months to come, it is possible to sense that the heavens are already turning downward.  Nearly imperceptibly, the fruit is ripening on the trees and the nights are lengthening once again.  It is too early to talk of autumn, and yet the next season is on its way.Why do we never prepare for decline?  We all realize that it is a valid phenomenon - we know about the fall of empires, the aging of heroes, the lessening of our own skill - but we are not always aware of its approach.  We often realize too late that we are in a period of decline, and so we are unprepared.  It takes a wise person to perceive the moment when things begin to change.Summer does not fade away in a day.  Our actions must accord with the times.  Just as the decline of summer is gradual, so too should our actions be commensurate with the pace of change.  Even though decline may be approaching, we must gauge how quickly or how slowly events are moving.  If we are too hasty - like someone who notices the first cool breeze and immediately dons winter clothing - we will be overreacting.  It is important to think of decline as something natural and inevitable.  Therefore there should be no emotional values attached to it.  It simply happens, and that is all."- Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth   If you listen to podcasts via iTunes and Apple Podcasts...CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST Or…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Better yet, share it with a loved one or on social media!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 159 - Expanding the Parameters of Life

"Many people allow themselves to be trapped into a miserable life.  When we see this, we might think "How tragic," but in actuality, they did it to themselves.  We should all know how our lives are going, for we need only track the decisions that confront us every day.  There are people who think that it does not matter what they do.  Or they shrug that they are victims of circumstance.  That does not justify an unhappy life.  Illness, stress, divorce, maladjusted children, and fear of death trap us.  Those who follow Tao do not want to end up in this way.  They want to be free.  They do not want to be victims.  Therefore, although it is a difficult path, they constantly seek to expand the parameters of their lives.  They do not suffer to be exploited or enslaved, and they will eschew what is considered "normal" in order to be happy."- Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth   If you listen to podcasts via iTunes and Apple Podcasts...CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST Or…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Better yet, share it with a loved one or on social media!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth

There is nothing that is not part of it—harmonious living is to know and to move with the Tao—it is a way of life, the natural order of things, a force that flows through all life.365 Tao is a contemporary book of meditations on what it means to be wholly a part of the Taoist way, and thus to be completely in harmony with oneself and the surrounding world.Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including The Living I Ching, Chronicles of Tao, Everyday Tao, and Scholar Warrior. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and with two other masters before that.~What we need is strength for today—day by day.

Ep. 153 - Stupid and Ignorant

"As far back as 1776, Adam Smith saw the dangers of moving in this direction.  In his highly influential Wealth of Nations, he wrote that a person who spends his life performing the same repetitive tasks tends to lose 'the habit of exertion' and 'generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become."Read more in Rudder of the Day - Stories & Wisdom to Kick Start Your Workday, Dan Millerhttps://store.48days.com/product/rudder-of-the-day-book-plus-ebook/Wikipedia - The Wealth of NationsThe Wealth of Nations was published 9 March 1776, during the Scottish Enlightenment and the Scottish Agricultural Revolution. It influenced a number of authors and economists, as well as governments and organizations. For example, Alexander Hamilton was influenced in part by The Wealth of Nations to write his Report on Manufactures, in which he argued against many of Smith's policies. Interestingly, Hamilton based much of this report on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, and it was, in part, Colbert's ideas that Smith responded to with The Wealth of Nations. Many other authors were influenced by the book and used it as a starting point in their own work, including Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus and, later, Ludwig von Mises. The Russian national poet Aleksandr Pushkin refers to The Wealth of Nations in his 1833 verse-novel Eugene Onegin.Amazon, paperback - The Wealth of Nations, Adam SmithLearn more within the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth  If you listen to podcasts via iTunes and Apple Podcasts...CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST Or…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Better yet, share it with a loved one or on social media!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth

"If your spiritual understanding is sound, then you will constantly be aware of the subtleties of life.  If you fritter away your concentration on minor entertainment and trivial distractions, then you will never attain a profound level of awareness.  It is not the grand sweeping religious celebrations and heroic moments in life that are the only important spiritual occasions.  Ever ordinary moment, every little detail should be a celebration of your personal understanding.  Your smallest act should be permeated with reverence.  One of our most basic acts is drinking water.  Without it, we could not sustain ourselves.  Water cleanses us, cools us, and is an essential component of most of our biological processes.  But when we drink it, are we aware of what it does?  Do we think of its source and all the efforts that make it possible for us to have this simple glass of water?  Being spiritual means not taking things for granted.  Quite the opposite, you remember how everything that comes to you fits into an overall scheme.  You acknowledge the precious quality of everyday things.  And you maintain a gratitude for both the good and the bad in your life."- Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth   If you listen to podcasts via iTunes and Apple Podcasts...CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST Or…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Better yet, share it with a loved one or on social media!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the All Around Growth community!t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 134 - Three Kinds of Focus

“There’s another level at which attention operates. This has to do with leadership. I argue that leaders need three kinds of focus to be really effective."  - Daniel Goleman on Focus: The Secret to High Performance and Fulfilment  Next up in the video que was Daniel Goleman's talkLink to one version of transcript:Focus – The Secret to High Performance and Fulfilment: Daniel Goleman (Transcript)"There’s another level at which attention operates. This has to do with leadership. I argue that leaders need three kinds of focus to be really effective:The first is an inner focus. …And the circuitry that collects that life experience is very base brain. It’s very ancient in the brain and it has no direct connection to the part of the brain that thinks in words.  It has very rich connectivity to the gastrointestinal tract, to the gut. So we get a gut feeling – feels right, doesn’t feel right. Damasio calls them somatic markers. It’s a language of the body. And the ability to tune into this is extremely important because this is valuable data, too……And this inner sense is an ethical rudder. It answers the question- what I’m about to do in keeping with my sense of meaning, values, purpose, and ethics. That’s not a question that we answer first in words, we answer first in what feels right and doesn’t feel right. Then we put it into words. And every leader today needs a strong ethical rudder. So I’d say an inner awareness; inner focus is essential.Then there’s other focus, which is being able to read people, being able to tune into a person. There are three kinds of empathy. And this is empathy I’m talking about.·         Cognitive Empathy·         Emotional Empathy·         Empathic Concern…The third kind of focus is outer focus. This is very important, for example, in formulating, you need to understand the ecosystem within which your organization operates. You need to be able to sense what’s going to work, what we’ll need to do in the future and so on. And for that, you need to kind of systems view, big picture thinking…" Touching stories about technology and it’s role / interference in our livesAll of this seems to dovetail in quite nicely with everything else going on in life right now·         Story about leaving phone at work after dialogue with management·         Springtime stress·         Kitchen project·         Health CoachingLikely going to dial back the frequency of content release during the busiest seasons of the year  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTThe above link Or…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Share it with a friend!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 129 - Good Books

“The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.”  Mark Twain (1835-1910)  Currently reading 4 books:Render Unto Caesar: Profit, Prophecy, and Proof Of Work in The Dim Age, Vin Armani‘And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.’ (Genesis 11:6)For hundreds of thousands of years, since the first human family split into separate bands on the African savannah, we have had a collective dream of a time when all of mankind would again be able to speak, face-to-face, as close companions. As we dreamed, we built. We built civilizations, mythologies, and marvelous technology. Now the dream is fulfilled and any two humans, anywhere on our planet, can speak to each other as though they were in the same room. Our world is now this dreamOur global culture is undergoing a massive shift. We can all feel the change taking place, but we are unable to fully grasp the nature or the significance of the change. In Render Unto Caesar, Vin Armani takes you into the very essence of the journey that humanity, as a whole, is taking out of a material worldview and into a mystical worldview – a journey into The Dim Age. The story begins with “Prophecy,” an examination of the eternal cycle providing the momentum for our species’ evolution. Next is “Profit,” an exploration of the very roots of our economic impulse. “Proof Of Work” is a vision of Bitcoin, a phenomenon that bridges the space between the end of the past materialist paradigm and the beginning of the mystic dreamtime to come.This book is a unique and remarkable work, equal parts philosophical treatise, parable, and prediction of the future.http://vinarmani.com/renderuntocaesar/ Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth, Nick MurraySimple wealth, Inevitable wealth is the perfect book for the investor who knows they should invest for their future but doesn't know how. The book details the average gains of bonds and stocks over the years and states that stocks are the way to true wealth. Think & Grow Rich, Napoleon HillThink and Grow Rich was written in 1937 and promoted as a personal development and self-improvement book.

Here's another little update from the farm and homestead.  I hope this episode finds you well here on this April Fools Day - and it sure feels that way with snow here in NE Ohio!Today, I cover the April Newsletter from York Meadow Farm...see below for a few examples:  This month, we are dropping a little hint that The Soap Lady is also experimenting with new soapmaking techniques and equipment, and we hope to reveal the new soap designs in late May / early June at the Farmers Market of Medina County!

There are so many different colors, textures, and phases of getting the beds planted outside. It's an original piece of ever changing art each year. Wind. The wind can and will break you down. The winds of Spring are here with a force. It's a good time to test yourself, and as always, it's good to be outside."  If you'd like to subscribe to our email list you can do so here.

Ep. 122 - Social Media

Social media are interactive digitally mediated technologies that facilitate the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. WikipediaAs socially inclined creatures, human beings have embraced technology that connects us with others. Every year, there is an increasing number of people signing up for and using social media. While there weren’t even a billion people using social media back in 2010, the number exceeded more than 2 billion within just five years.In 2019, there were around 2.77 billion people using social media. And, with smartphones and internet connectivity becoming cheaper and easier to access, we should expect to see these numbers grow even higher.

Ep. 120 - Karoshi and Life - My Recent Break and The Future

Karoshi, which can be translated literally as "overwork death", is a Japanese term relating to occupational sudden mortality. The most common medical causes of karoshi deaths are heart attacks or strokes due to stress and a starvation diet. Mental stress from the workplace can also cause karoshi through workers taking their own lives. People who commit suicide due to overwork are called karōjisatsu. The phenomenon of death by overwork is also widespread in other parts of Asia.More at WikipediaHeard term here:https://www.mamasaysnamaste.com/podcast/ - A busy life...or a FULL life?Do you have a full life...or a busy one?

Ep. 116 - The Art of De-Escalation

Today, we’re going to talk about when to de-escalate – and when to stand your ground.  Questions that we can ask ourselves before listening:  Have you ever been in a heated situation?  Maybe you found yourself wondering what / how to respond to a difficult situation?  Or perhaps after the fact you were thinking of different ways you could have handled it.Maybe…you could have de-escalated the situation instead of – well, whatever happened instead.LANGUAGE WARNINGShow Title:  The Art of De-EscalationIf you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchenAfter this dialogue yesterday, I watched this:The initial scene of how Keanu Reeve’s character was awesome, how they tipped his truck and then he just walked away to avoid the confrontation.Do not ever touch our friend - Bullying Keanu Reeves, you're unlucky. https://www.facebook.com/barriosednalyn/videos/4531672440192521Now…often times we don’t have some big offensive linemen to stand up for usBut we always have the ability to walk away The Strangest Secret in the World – Earl Nightingale Again:“To be successful …we must be willing to pay the price” NOW WHAT IS THAT PRICE?Well it’s many things.Now let’s just go over the important points in the price each of us must pay to achieve the wonderful life that can be ours. It is of course worth any price.·        One: You will become what you think about.o   Well it’s many things. First, it’s understanding emotionally as well as intellectually that we literally become what we think about, that we must control our thoughts if we are to control our lives. It’s understanding fully that: “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”·        Two: Remember the word imagination. Let your mind soar.o   Second, it’s cutting away all fetters from the mind and permitting it to soar as it was divinely designed to do. It’s the realization that your limitations are self-imposed, and that the opportunities for you today are enormous beyond belief. It’s rising above narrow-minded pettiness and prejudice.·        Three: Courage – Concentrate on your goal every day.o   Thirdly, to use all your courage to force yourself to think positively on your own problem. To set a definite and clearly defined goal for yourself. To let your marvelous mind think about your goal from all possible angles.·        Four: Save 10% of what you earn.o   We talked about that yesterday And Action – Ideas are worthless unless we act on them.  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTOr…please give it a rating on your podcast player of choice.Share it with a friend!  Follow this link to ALL EPISODES here      Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 115 - The Most Important Payment You Probably Don’t Make

Today, Rob is going to talk about the important points in the price each of us must pay to achieve the wonderful life that can be ours. It is of course worth any price...If you’re like me, each month – hell, each paycheck comes with decisions.  Decisions on how we’re going to spend all that hard earned money.  Decisions on what bills and payments to make…and maybe even decisions on what bills and payments to NOT make.Each day I workout I listen to:The Strangest Secret in the World – Earl NightingaleThis year, I’ve likely listened to it a minimum of 30 times (workout 3-4 x week)I’ve had some big takeawaysOne of them is this:“To be successful …we must be willing to pay the price”What is success?The success is the school teacher who is teaching school because that’s what he wanted to do.The success is the woman who is a wife and mother because she wanted to become a wife and mother and is doing a good job of it.The success is the man who runs the corner gas station because that’s what he wanted to do.The success is the successful salesman who wants to become a top-notch salesman and grow and build with his organization.A success is anyone who is doing deliberately a predetermined job because that’s what he decided to do, deliberately. But only 1 out of 20 does that. That’s why today there isn’t really any competition unless we make it for ourselves. Again:“To be successful …we must be willing to pay the price” NOW WHAT IS THAT PRICE?Well it’s many things.Now let’s just go over the important points in the price each of us must pay to achieve the wonderful life that can be ours.

Ep. 114 - The Freedom Cell Network

Freedom Cells are peer to peer groups organizing themselves in a decentralized manner with the collective goal of asserting the sovereignty of group members through peaceful resistance and the creation of alternative institutions.  Guidelines for basic etiquette:1.  Be respectful.2.  Be open-minded toward alternative opinions.3.  Don’t attack people; if you are having a debate, criticize the argument instead of attacking the individual (see: Ad Hominem logical fallacy at link below).4.  Refrain from using derogatory language.5.  Familiarize yourself with the basic logical fallacies to promote constructive and reasonable discussion (see: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/).6.  Help to create a welcoming space for newcomers.7.  Be proactive and solution-oriented.  It’s important to stand for something rather than solely against something else.The Freedom Cell Network and the concepts of Agorism go hand in hand-         Agorism is a social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, engaging with aspects of nonviolent revolution. WikipediaAlso, here’s a great link to a recent event where John Bush talked about Agorismhttps://odysee.com/@TheGreaterReset:4/john-bush:9-         See about 10 minutes in for detail on Freedom Cell NetworkHere are the basics of the structure of the Freedom Cell Network• Inner Cadre(~8) people = 1 Freedom Cell (a small group, local to YOU and YOUR OWN COMMON GOALS)• Middle Cadre(~8) Freedom Cell Groups collaborating (local to YOUR REGION)• Meta Cadre(~8) Meta Cadre Groups (or around 500 people)  Freedom Cell Manual - Working Draft  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kndzD5gcuGN51TRJu9Ln6bSU10Iu5hnIJNCb8GRiDUQ/mobilebasic Events The Greater Reset began January 2021The Greater Reset talks: archived on IPFS  2021 March 8-11 Gause, Texas FloteFest 2021 April 6 - 7 Virtual, TBA  Decentralized Tech Summit see -wwwTGR 2021 April 17-18 Oklahoma MidFest 2021 May 13-16 PNW Spring Awakening & The Sasquatch Freedom Festival 2021 May 25-29 The Greater Reset Activation Continues ... Portland events: PDX FCN EventsTG- https://t.me/joinchat/VZyorgpXzDcIESudFreedom Cells Weekly Support Call www- https://freedomcells.org/event/weekly-fc-support-call/ Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 101 - Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures.[10][11] Epileptic seizures are episodes that can vary from brief and nearly undetectable periods to long periods of vigorous shaking.[1] These episodes can result in physical injuries, including occasionally broken bones.[1] In epilepsy, seizures have a tendency to recur and, as a rule, have no immediate underlying cause.[10] - WikipediaWhat is a seizure?A seizure, formally known as an epileptic seizure, is a period of symptoms due to abnormally excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain.[5] Outward effects vary from uncontrolled shaking movements involving much of the body with loss of consciousness (tonic-clonic seizure), to shaking movements involving only part of the body with variable levels of consciousness (focal seizure), to a subtle momentary loss of awareness (absence seizure).[3] Most of the time these episodes last less than 2 minutes and it takes some time to return to normal.[4][7]Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.Christopher Robin

Humans (Homo sapiens) are a species of highly intelligent primates. They are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina and—together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids)....Neontology is a part of biology that, in contrast to paleontology, deals with living organisms. It is the study of extant taxa : taxa with members still alive, as opposed to (all) being extinct. For example:The moose is an extant species, and the dodo is an extinct species.In the group of molluscs known as the cephalopods, as of 1987 there were approximately 600 extant species and 7,500 extinct speciesWhy?Why talk about the human social creature?I am actively building the life of my dreams through consistent goal setting utilizing (7) categories:financialphysicalpersonal developmentfamilyspiritualsocialcareerLast week, we covered financial and physical......Monday we talked personal development...Tuesday we talked family ...Wednesday we talked (Spirituality) Which brings us to the topic / category of "Social"Humans uniquely use systems of symbolic communication such as language and art to express themselves and exchange ideas, as well as to organize themselves into purposeful groups.

For some, it's primarily about a belief in God and active participation in organized religion. For others, it's about non-religious experiences that help them get in touch with their spiritual selves through quiet reflection, time in nature, private prayer, yoga, or meditation.Many people identify as spiritual but not religious: With a few exceptions, the percentage of adults who identify as religious in many industrialized countries is declining, while remaining generally high in less developed nations. Even as religious affiliation decreases, though, a sense of spiritual identification could remain steady or even increase.The Benefits of a Spiritual LifeAre spiritual people more generous?Are spiritual people less depressed?The Search for Meaning An instinct toward spirituality appears to be deeply ingrained in humans. We can't help but ask big questions: Research finds that even declared religious skeptics can't stifle a sense that there is something greater than the physical world they see.As the brain processes sensory experiences, it naturally looks for patterns—and our conscious selves often seek meaning in those patterns. This can lead to the phenomenon known as "cognitive dissonance," which describes how, once one believes in something, one is strongly inclined to try to explain away anything that conflicts with it. Cognitive dissonance is not unique to religion or spirituality, but often occurs in the context of such beliefs.Trying to find meaning in lifeFirst through asking questions such as:Who am I and what am I doing here?Lift yourself up by surrounding yourself with greatnessWhy do people believe in God?Do spiritual experiences affect the brain?  https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/spiritualityFollow this link to ALL EPISODES here   CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTHave a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Send your questions to [email protected]  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 92 - Podcast Updates and The Optimal Workout

With Financial yesterday, Physical today, followed by personal development on Monday......and family on Tuesday, we'll begin covering all the various categories we're setting goals in.This fits the newly updated description of the podcast.  Check it out here!Why did I start the year with a physical goal?To boost creativity!  (Hat tip Dan Miller)https://www.48days.com/category/48-days-podcast/Rob's Optimal Kettlebell Workout1.     Kettlebell Swings – 75 repsIn as few sets of good form as possibleNo more than 1 minute rest between setsGoal – 75 reps in one set, then move to larger kettlebellExample:   35 swings, 60s rest, 20 swings, 60s rest, 20 swingsSuggested Weight to Begin: 20kg (44lb)Rob's Beginning Weight:  10kg (22lb) 2.     Standing Overhead Kettlebell Press – 50 repsIn as few sets of good form as possibleNo more than 1 minute rest between setsGoal – 50 reps in one set, then move to larger kettlebellExample:  20 presses, 60s rest, 15 presses, 60s rest, 15 pressesSuggested Weight to Begin:  10lbRob's Beginning Weight:  10lb This workout serves dual purpose you are obviously working out the shoulder(deltoids) but the standing and weight on one side forces stabilizing muscles through your whole body to fire and keep you from dipping to the weighted side.3.     Kettlebell Front Squat – 50 repsIn as few sets of good form as possibleNo more than 1 minute rest between setsGoal – 50 reps in one set, then move to larger kettlebellExample:   20 squats, 60s rest, 15 squats, 60s rest, 15 squatsSuggested Weight to Begin: 30lbRob's Beginning Weight:  "Assisted" Squat Only 4.     Farmers Walk, Suitcase Carry Modification – 2 setsThis exercise does not work in reps instead its time or distance.Your goal is to carry and walk with the weight for as long as your grip can hold it, then switch the weight to the other side and repeatDo 2 sets of this carry for time on each side.Rob's Beginning Weight:  ~35lbs for 100 paces x 2 setsThe recommended starter kettlebell weight for the swings and squats is a 44lb or 54lb kettlebell but you can start lower obviously, you will just probably work through to the goals a bit quicker. This workout is best when done 3 or 4 times a week with a day between each workout. The first week you might need an extra rest day after the first workout if you are not using those muscles in your daily life. The great thing about it is this really scales well by just bumping up the weight.

Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowthPast Year Review - Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' InsteadProcrastination  (Wikipedia)   "Procrastination is the action of delaying or postponing something. The word has origin from the Latin procrastinatus, which itself evolved from the prefix pro-, meaning "forward," and crastinus, meaning "of tomorrow." It could be further stated as a habitual or intentional delay of starting or finishing a task despite knowing it might have negative consequences." "Habitual or intentional"So...how did this tie into self sabotage?From the article: https://www.healthline.com/health/self-sabotage#signsProcrastinationHave you ever found yourself stalled or stuck when faced with an important task? You’re far from alone in this.You’ve prepared, done all your research, and sat down to get started, only to find you just can’t begin. Your motivation has completely disappeared. So you avoid the task by cleaning out the refrigerator, organizing your junk drawer, or starting a movie marathon.Procrastination can happen for no apparent reason, but it typically has an underlying cause, such as:feeling overwhelmed by what you need to dotrouble managing timedoubting your ability or skillsGoalsSince beginning use of the Best Self Journal in late 2018, return to goal mindsetI now choose to focus on maintaining the best attitude I canI will continue to give 110% at the day job despite my "feelings"Originally - I had developed 7 categories for my own goals (tasks) by 2017/2018 via NozbePersonalDavis Tree Farm (Career)Side Hustle / DLS HealthFinancesYork Meadow FarmDLS Office / Home (which was currently under construction at that time)My 3 goals in Best Self were originally based on Gary Collins 3 Legged StoolHealthWealthPurposeNew Version of Best Self Journal has "bench marks"HealthFinancesWork / CareerRelationshipsPersonal GrowthMindfulnessI continue to fine tune my goal mindsetRecently saw a tweet from EntreLeadership about Zig Ziglar's categories:SpiritualFamilyPhysicalFinancialCareerSocialIntellectualFinally found Dan Miller Goal Categories:FinancialPhysicalPersonal DevelopmentFamilySpiritualSocialCareerAt this time, I am working on goals via Dan Miller's outlineFollowing them in that order alsoFall down 7 times stand up 8Just keep movingYou can do it   CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTHave a Question or any feedback for Rob?  Send your questions to [email protected]  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 84 - Self-Sabotage

Today's show is an audience feedback show. It is the age of distraction, and in moments like this with one another - we can tune it out. And accordingly, we can tune in to ourselves and take a moment to be quiet and think... ...think about things such as:What is it that makes us want to do the thing we don't want to do?What makes us want to continue down the path we don't want to walk?Why do we do things against our own goals?  Today we're thinking and talking about self sabotage. Self-sabotage refers to behaviors or thought patterns that hold you back and prevent you from doing what you want to do.  This quote if from the very first article pulled up on a DDG search for "self-sabotage"The article by Healthline was titled: "How Self-Sabotage Holds You Back"https://www.healthline.com/health/self-sabotageKey Points in Article:Blaming others when things go wrongChoosing to walk away when things don’t go smoothlyProcrastinationPicking fights with friends or partners Passive Aggression Dating people who aren’t right for youTrouble stating your needsPutting yourself down Negative Self Talk What causes it? Patterns learned in childhood Past relationship dynamics Fear of failure A need for control Tips for overcoming it Identify the behaviors Learn what sets you off Practice getting comfortable with failure Talk about it Identify what you really want When to seek help It’s not always easy to recognize and stop some self-sabotaging behaviors, especially patterns you’ve followed for years, on your own. If your efforts to try different behaviors and responses haven’t worked, or only work for a while, therapy may be a good option.  There’s no shame in needing professional support. The bottom line Self-sabotaging behaviors are often deeply ingrained and hard to recognize. And once you do recognize them, noticing how you hold yourself back can be hard to come to terms with.  But keep in mind that by recognizing these behaviors, you’ve taken the first step toward changing them. And you don’t have to do it alone. Friends, loved ones, and trained therapists can all offer support.  Much of this process is not adding to the to do list As much of it or more is removing from the to do list  We need to learn how to begin functioning at our highest level Set goalsLive by themUse the best self journalFirm believer in it    Have a Question or any feedback for Rob?    Send your questions to [email protected]  Join the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST

Ep. 75 - Past Year Review

Join Rob on the first Monday of 2021 as he discusses the Past Year Review exercise outlined by Tim Ferriss - and what he does to take that exercise to the next level.  All details of Rob's discussion today are available for your review within the show notes.Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' Insteadhttps://tim.blog/2018/12/28/past-year-review/Forget New Year's Resolutions and Conduct a 'Past Year Review' InsteadGrab a notepad and create two columns: POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. Go through your calendar from the last year, looking at every week. For each week, jot down on the pad any people or activities or commitments that triggered peak positive or negative emotions for that month. Put them in their respective columns.Once you’ve gone through the past year, look at your notepad list and ask, “What 20% of each column produced the most reliable or powerful peaks?”Based on the answers, take your “positive” leaders and schedule more of them in the new year. Get them on the calendar now! Book things with friends and prepay for activities/events/commitments that you know work. It’s not real until it’s in the calendar. That’s step one. Step two is to take your “negative” leaders, put “NOT-TO-DO LIST” at the top, and put them somewhere you can see them each morning for the first few weeks of 2019. These are the people and things you *know* make you miserable, so don’t put them on your calendar out of obligation, guilt, FOMO, or other nonsense.That’s it! If you try it, let me know how it goes. And just remember: it’s not enough to remove the negative. That simply creates a void. Get the positive things on the calendar ASAP...So...I take Tim's Past Year Review to another level.Rob's Past Year Review 3.0 (Performed in 2018 and 2019 - 2020, or 3.0 is underway)Columns inserted into an Excel SpreadsheetAdditional columns to add for filtering each line item by:Positive EmotionNegative EmotionOrder of entry (time frame when it was entered during the 2019 calendar year)Any action resulting from that emotionHow it’s rated on a scale of 1-5 regarding joy / non-joy For assembling the list of what to schedule in the calendar year and how to assemble your NOT to-do listCategory of line itemHow it corresponds with my project tracking softwareFinancial, Personal, Spiritual, Work/Career, etcCategorization and labeling of the Past Year Review in Excel makes for easy prioritization of a longer listEasy to refine lists and make actionable tasks that matter instead of resolutions that never get followed through withNext Year's NOT-To-Do List GeneratedRecurring Task Generated titled:  "Schedule 'Positives' for Next Calendar Year"This recurring weekly task has the Excel spreadsheet attached for ease of referenceWill review the Past Year End Positives during Weekly Review in Best Self JournalAction item based on the past year review that will hopefully result in even greater positives for the following yearHave a Question for Rob?Send your questions to [email protected] the community:t.me/allaroundgrowth  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST

Ep. 72 - The Pomodoro Technique

Join Rob today as he discusses The Pomodoro Technique - an effective methodology to addressing the age old question of exactly how to eat an elephant...and making sure we know how to do more than simply attack it one bite at a time.  The Pomodoro Technique.What is it?The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro, from the Italian word for 'tomato', after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.

Ep. 58 - Choose Your Feelings

"You can't always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose how you feel about it."  - Danielle Laporte (https://www.daniellelaporte.com/)Danielle LaPorte is a bestselling Canadian author, inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and blogger. Born in Windsor, Ontario, LaPorte is the author of three non-fiction books with an emphasis on conscious goal-setting and entrepreneurship.  Wikipedia"You can't always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose how you feel about it."How do you choose your feelings?Search:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+do+you+choose+your+feelings&atb=v194-1&ia=web Article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/science-choice/201712/choose-your-feelings Our ability to manage the flow of thought and emotion contributes to our happiness (Wright, 2017). We create paradise or hell in our own minds. “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so,“ says Shakespeare’s Hamlet. By habitually practicing a new attitude, we can foster a new feeling or overcome a pathological emotion (e.g., anger). So the absence of preconceptions (biases or points of view) moves us toward a truer view of the world (Wright, 2017). This cannot be accomplished simply by an act of will, by wanting them to go away. Such fundamental change can take years to accomplish. ...In short, we can liberate ourselves from destructive emotions, such as anger and disappointment, by developing a capacity to choose how to interpret and evaluate the situation (when angry, take the other person’s perspective). By exerting free will, a person expands his or her options and freedom. Anger controls youDisappointment controls youBy exerting free will...we expand our options and freedom.EXERT - key wordWe can choose how we feel about it - but we must ACT to get results We can choose our experiences through the action of changing our perspective. When we change our perspective, we begin to expand our freedom. Live free my friends.  There is no other life worth living.     CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST  Have a Question for Rob?  Send your questions to [email protected]  Join the community:·  t.me/allaroundgrowth

We believe that by developing close friendships among each other and by working together in our communities, we can make a difference in the world and among ourselves!  Discussing political, sectarian or any other debate is forbidden in the Lodge, so it breaks down the social walls and labels used to view others and opens hearts and minds to start seeing people as Brothers and Sisters.Valediction:I believe...my community deserves my best work, my modest pride, my earnest faith, and my deepest loyalty, as I perform my duty "to visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan" and as I work with others to build a better world...Why did I choose to participate with the Odd Fellows?NON-POLITICALNON-SECTARIANMedina Odd FellowsMedina Odd Fellows - https://medinaoddfellows.org/Morningstar Lodge #26Christmas Tree SalesAsk yourself...Have you been searching for a way to help others and be a part ofsomething bigger than yourself?Do you want to learn to be a better person and empower yourself to be more successful in all parts of your life?Do you want to help make your community a better place and help those in need?Do you feel lonely or crave quality social interactions and want to be part of something important?By becoming an Odd Fellow you will learn to base your thoughts and actions on the philosophical principles of the Order.We believe that life is a commitment to improve and elevate the character of mankind through service and example. Our legacy has been 200 years of helping each other and others without seeking anything in return.  Odd Fellows are aware of the vanity of earthly things, the frailty and inevitable decay of human life and the fact that wealth has no power to stop the sureness of eventual death.Now ask yourself, “How am I going to spend my life?”

Ep. 51 - Living in a Simulation

Have you ever thought that you might be living in a simulation?  A recent article from Popular Mechanics indicates there's a 50% chance that we *are* living in a simulation.  Today, we're going to dig into that idea and what it means.  Join Rob as he discusses the article titled "Are We Living in a Simulation"https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a34362527/are-we-living-in-a-simulation/Simulation Theory is not new to me - I've heard it discussed several times on the Joe Rogan Experience, check out the following links below:Joe Rogan & Elon Musk - Are We in a Simulated Reality?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cM690CKArQAI Expert Lex Fridman Weighs in on Simulation Theoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFID_rgzE_YJoe Rogan & Dennis McKenna Go DEEP Into Simulation Theoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0OClR1WnzcHowever, we'll discuss the main points in the article from Popular MechanicsThe 50/50 probability is rounded from a calculation whose outcome is more like 50.22222 to 49.77778. Scientific American cites the landmark 2003 paper “Are We Living in a Computer Simulation?” by philosopher Nick Bostrom. It’s worth reading Bostrom’s brief abstract in full:“I argue that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to become extinct before reaching a ‘posthuman’ stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of its evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we shall one day become posthumans who run ancestor‐simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. I discuss some consequences of this result.”Scientific American points out that The Matrix and its sequels did a lot to push the simulation theory forward, but philosophers have speculated in this direction for thousands of years.Rob discusses the allegory of the cave, or Plato's CaveBut back to the article...it continues with:But Bostrom’s simulation theory in particular pivots on computing power...and it goes into the dialogue with an astronomer and the philosopher Nick Bostrom himself.   Read more here:https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a34362527/are-we-living-in-a-simulation/Rob discusses his own personal experience with different realities...and how he is actively creating the next simulation.Have a Question for Rob?Send your questions to [email protected] the All Around Growth Community!Join the Telegram group:  t.me/allaroundgrowth- CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST

Ep. 50 - The Thanksgiving Day Review

Today, we pause and give thanks while reflecting on where we've been, where we're at and where we're going with the podcast.  Join us as we celebrate Thanksgiving with the 50th episode of the All Around Growth podcast.On today’s episode we are going to be taking a look at three things:Where we’ve beenWhere we areWhere we’re goingThis will be similar to the weekly review that I perform every week, but specific to the podcast.Where We’ve Been The All Around Growth Podcast is ~2 months old, with the first episode “An Introduction to the All Around Growth Podcast” published 09/30/2020.You can hear more by listening to the very first episode, but the idea is this:'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with'.– Jim Rohn (motivational speaker)There’s a bit more to the story regarding the history of the show; discussed in Episode 2.   I jumped right into audience feedback with the 3rd and 4th episodes of the show.All the while during this time, I’d been having a bit of an existential crisis of sorts.  I had become mildly obsessed with finding my passion, my purpose, and my why.Subsequently, I recorded a brief “bonus” episode of the podcast on Saturday, October 3, 2020. Passion and Purpose (Bonus Episode)Things began to take shape and solidify with my ideas behind the podcast – and my life.   It seemed like the only logical thing to do...and sharing it in the form of a podcast.I began to develop a routine and structure for the podcast, integrating it into my own routine.Show topics continued to cover a WIDE variety of topics, many of which were a direct result of audience feedback within the groups.The wide variety of topics culminated in what might perhaps the most important episode to date, which was recorded yesterday:Episode 49 – The Strangest Secret in the World Over the past two months, that’s where we’ve been and subsequently, today is where we are.   We are right here in this moment......which begs the question:Where are we going?Initially, the purpose of the podcast was to share personal experiences of All Around Growth and develop a network of people on a similar path.  New members are being invited by current leaders in the group in true grassroots fashion...exactly the way it ought to be.Moving forward, we will continue to grow the community around the podcast based on finding our passion, our purpose, and our why through a balanced rotation of priority work in three categories:HealthWealthPurposeThis podcast has proved beneficial in my own journey and I hope that it is proving beneficial in your journey as well.  If it is, follow the links below to provide some feedback and join the community!CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTHave a Question for Rob?Send your questions to [email protected] us on Telegram at: t.me/allaroundgrowth

Ep. 41 - The Mentality of Exploitation

"Now, as then - we see the abstract values of an industrial economy, preying upon the native productivity of land and people.  The fur trade was only the first establishment on this continent of a mentality of whose triumph is it's catastrophe.  My purposes in beginning with this survey of history are:To show how deeply rooted in our past is the mentality of exploitation.To show how fundamentally revolutionary it is.To show how crucial to our history, hence to our own minds, is the question of how we will relate to our land.This question, now that the corporate revolution has so determinedly invaded the farmland returns us to our oldest crisis. "Wendell Berry - The Unsettling of AmericaWhat the quote meansWhy the quote is relevantHorticulture vs AgriculturePolyculture vs MonocultureAbundance, Diversity, and HealthQuote from "The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture" - Wendell BerrySince its publication in 1977, The Unsettling of America has been recognized as a classic of American letters. In it, Wendell Berry argues that good farming is a cultural and spiritual discipline. Today’s agribusiness, however, takes farming out of its cultural context and away from families. As a result, we as a nation are more estranged from the land―from the intimate knowledge, love, and care of it.Sadly, his arguments and observations are more relevant than ever. Although “this book has not had the happy fate of being proved wrong,” Berry writes, there are people working “to make something comely and enduring of our life on this earth.” Wendell Berry is one of those people, writing and working, as ever, with passion, eloquence, and conviction.This book is as old as I am, yet the arguments and observations are more relevant than ever.What does this mean?Why is this relevant?Because it's important to understand history.While history doesn't rhyme, it sure does sound familiar at times.The show began with a quote by Wendell Berry written over 40 years ago"To show how deeply rooted in our past is the mentality of exploitation.""To show how fundamentally revolutionary it is.""To show how crucial to our history, hence to our own minds, is the question of how we will relate to our land."Horticulture vs AgricultureThe mentality of exploitation appears to be a "newer" thought - a western thought. A thought developed in a culture that rose from the roots of an agricultural society, perhaps.Polyculture vs MonocultureMonoculture of land becomes representative in the thought process of the people. Monoculture of the mind. People change.Abundance, Diversity, and HealthPermaculture is the solution. How do we lead a Permaculture based life?  CLICK HERE TO RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCASTHave a Question for Rob? Send your questions to [email protected]

Boundaries.    The topic of "Boundaries" is challenging in that it is often a topic of discussion that is generally had when our own boundaries are being infringed upon.    Luckily, I've had a pretty good framework for exploring what's required in life to better understand my own boundaries and the boundaries of others...  ...as well as the ability to effectively communicate about them with others.  On this day, Wednesday 11/04/2020, Ep. 34 we are going to dig into this topic.  Show Sponsorship - At some point this will probably be a fill - so explore rapping freely about Instacart for 30 seconds or so.  Boundaries:  From article on www.mindbodygreen.com: 6 Types Of Boundaries You Deserve To Have (And How To Maintain Them)Physical Boundaries Physical boundaries include your needs for personal space, your comfort with touch, and your physical needs like needing to rest, eat food, and drink water. Emotional Boundaries Emotional boundaries are all about respecting and honoring feelings and energy. Setting emotional boundaries means recognizing how much emotional energy you are capable of taking in, knowing when to share and when not to share, and limiting emotional sharing with people who respond poorly. Time Boundaries Your time is valuable, and it is important to protect how it is utilized. Setting time boundaries is incredibly important at work, home, and socially. Setting time boundaries means understanding your priorities and setting aside enough time for the many areas of your life without over committing. Sexual Boundaries Healthy sexual boundaries include consent, agreement, respect, understanding of preferences and desires, and privacy. Intellectual Boundaries Intellectual boundaries refer to your thoughts, ideas, and curiosity...Material Boundaries Material boundaries refer to items and possessions like your home, car, clothing, jewelry, furniture, money, etc. Rob's Personal Experience with Boundaries12 step program (AA) Late Teens / Early 20s Also revisited in Mid 20s after DUI Relationships Roommates Living with parents again in 20s Girlfriends / Partners Memory - dated a girl from New York used to ridicule me on being sensitive.  "Ok sensi - why you so sensitive?" Money Bankruptcy taught me lesson on Boundaries Dave Ramsey Show Book: Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life Strong Christian Lean Get over it, read it and take away the positive Leave what you don't like in the book Employer / Employee relationships - especially when you're the boss Customer / Client relationships My recent experience with sales Boundaries most challenged with / by interpersonal relationships.  Boundaries most challenged by ourselves.

Ep. 32 - How Long to Develop New Habits?

How long does it take to develop a new habit in life?  Join Rob as he discusses time frames for new habits and the mentality required to implement them in your life.  This question comes to mind after reading a cookbook this morning by Maria Emmerich in the section titled "My Top 11 Tips for (...) Success" when she wrote:"Existing habits are hard to break, and creating new habits can be uncomfortable.  But make the choice to make today Day 1 of 16.  You can do anything for 16 days."So, the author here believes 16 days can be the benchmark for new habit development.Furthermore, she writes:"Remember, practice does not make perfect; it makes permanent."This reminds me of why I've historically said about change and consistency.That consistency of quality time matters more than simply the amount or quantity of time.Because I was reading a cookbook, this got me thinking about another cookbook that I referenced when trying to implement new eating habits, and Dr. David Perlmutter outlined a 14-day meal plan to facilitate change in his book the Grain Brain Whole Life Plan.So, how long does it take to form a new habit16 days14 daysAdditional studies / resources show:21 Day Habit Timeline: How to Form a Habit in 21 Days (Day by Day!)

Ep. 27 - Substance Abuse & Addiction

Have you or anyone you've loved ever experienced substance abuse or addiction?  Personally, I've struggled with both and find myself reflecting on it all this morning.  Why am I thinking about this?Currently doing the "Past Authoring Program" or the Self-Authoring Suite.What is the Self-Authoring Suite, you ask?The Past Authoring Program helps you remember, articulate and analyze key positive and negative life experiences.The Present Authoring Program has two modules. The first helps you understand and rectify your personality faults. The second helps you understand and develop your personality virtues.The Future Authoring Program helps you envision a meaningful, healthy and productive future, three to five years down the road, and to develop a detailed, implementable plan to make that future a reality.Doing the "past authoring" work and find myself working what is effectively the outline of my life.  The self-authoring program is structured this way and accordingly, it is proving to be an effective tool as part of the work I am doing to finding "my passion, my purpose, and my why."So...what qualifies me to talk about "substance abuse & addiction?"This is an important question for the challenges that come along with this topic.Context:Past Authoring / AutobiographyPre-Grade School Significant ExperiencesMy First MemoryReading to the Kindergarten ClassOne More Time (riding bike / broken nose)Skipping Stones (age 6 or 7, 1st or 2nd grade)Grade SchoolSignificant Experiences...no boys allowed (story of my sister's fort)Running AroundDiagnosis of EpilepsyDealing with side effects of medicationSkin peelingItchingEmotionalHigh School (Mid-Late Teens)Significant ExperiencesFrom Bloody Nose to Best FriendsLeaf Collection'The Discovery of CannabisThe ApartmentAthletics and BeyondFinding The StashOutpatient RehabFirst experience of Alcoholics AnonymousCollege Years (Late Teens / Early Twenties)Just started today These are the years of the "most experience" with substance abuse / addictionIncluding a DUI at the age of 23Second experience with Alcoholics AnonymousNot being even 50% complete with the self-authoring / autobiographical portion of my life, I find myself struggling with sharing this part of my life.  There's shame associated with it.Acceptance.  Giving myself a break.Allowing people to see my own fault.Demonstrate what and how I've done the things to overcome adversity in my own life.Sometimes, life is hard.People want to pick on us.We are our own worst critic.Substance abuse & addiction is to be taken seriously.Learn from everyone, everywhere the best ways to deal with it.Do not have fear about doing so.Love yourself enough to do it.

Have you ever worked with someone who loves Motivational Horsesh*t?  Yep, you know what I'm talking about.  This podcast is Rob sharing a little bit of what's on his mind today...  ...motivational horsesh*t.  What is motivational horsesh*t?  For example:  To build a strong team, you must see someone else's strength as a compliment to your weakness, and not a threat to your position or authority.  This can be used in a positive, motivational way - or it can be used as a subtle, passive aggressive form of communication, especially when posted in more than one location.  Join Rob as he dives into this quote and the following talking points:Passive-aggressive communicationBehavior / action vs message shared"What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say."  -  Ralph Mentorship and MotivationYou can't change people - no one else really caresOne becomes two becomes manyTo build a strong team, you must see someone else's strength as a compliment to your weakness, and not a threat to your position or authority.  If you actually believe this, be able to back it up.Be real.  Be vulnerable.EntreLeadership - Dave RamseyWhat's the future of this podcast?Live and give a quality message.EntreLeadership PodcastChris Hogan ShowKen Coleman ShowFocus on positive content consumption to build a strong foundation to support the dreams we are actively building. Don't let motivational horsesh*t get you down.  There are lessons to be learned.

Join us for an "off-the-cuff" discussion on the history and foundation of my spiritual life and the journey that has led me to where I am today.  Many thanks to Andrew Hughes for the suggestion of the topic.  This will be a two part short series Born and raised Roman Catholic, the oldest of three - to a father who was the oldest of five.As I grew older, I began to question the church, the structure of it, and "blind faith."During my late teens and early 20's, I began to explore eastern philosophies, specifically Taoism through the following books:  The Tao Te Ching and the Hua Hu Ching.  After reading many translations of each, I found these two translations to be my favorite:The Essential Tao : An Initiation into the Heart of Taoism Through the Authentic Tao Te Ching and the Inner Teachings of Chuang-Tzu, By Thomas ClearyHua Hu Ching : The Later Teachings of Lao Tzu, by by Hua-Ching Ni, Fu Lao WangA return to the church in my mid-late twenties and early 30's - along with the subsequent (negative) results...and how study of the bible factored into my personal spiritual journey.Logos Bible StudyStandby for a second episode as I expand on spirituality from my mid-late thirties to the current time frame, which is my early forties in the year 2020.  Thank you.

Episode 6 - Vulnerability 3.0

Join us as we conclude a three part series on vulnerability from audience feedback.Hat tip to Steph McCoy for the great topic suggestion!How To Embrace Vulnerability As Your Greatest Strength“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage,” affirms research professor and author Brené Brown in Rising Strong.Your association with vulnerability requires a shift in awareness in order to strengthen your emotional well-being.You must accept your vulnerability if you wish to live a wholesome life. Even the smallest act of letting down your guard is a commitment to your personal growth.“When we experience a great loss or hurt that feels like ‘broken heartedness’, we now realize that our heart is not broken. It’s actually the heart’s protective shell of defences breaking open to allow us to feel all emotions fully,” writes author Loch Kelly in Shift into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness.Vulnerability is an act of courage because you merge with your authentic self, instead of hiding behind a facade to appease others.It is within the unknown where your greatest potential lies. Human nature is imperfect, yet the paradox is that we are whole within that sphere of imperfection.To embrace vulnerability as your greatest strength, you will need to become aware of your pain points. Retaliation leads to suffering, since you are likely to defend your pain like a wounded animal.Every person has pain thresholds. If left unchecked, they become inflamed and dominate your emotional landscape, not to mention your physical health.Suffering ensues when you focus on your sorrow, instead of appreciating the beauty and richness of your complete self.[Similarly,] …be wary of the ego and its aversion to being vulnerable. The ego likes to protect its image and vulnerability is a crack in its armour.How Vulnerability Can Be a Leadership SuperpowerGood leaders bring mentally healthy values to their teams and organizations. And that means showing weakness, at times, and facing the resulting risk of being perceived as a weak leader. But accessing that vulnerability is harder for some leaders than others.Jason Rosario, founder of The Lives of Men, discusses how mental health, vulnerability, and masculinity intersect at work.The Anxious Achiever / Season 2, Episode 5

Episode 3 - Empathy

Definition of empathy (Mirriam Webster Dictionary)1: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit mannerEmpathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.[1] Definitions of empathy encompass a broad range of emotional states. Types of empathy include cognitive empathy, emotional (or affective) empathy, and somatic empathy.[2][3] (Wikipedia)The English word empathy is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἐμπάθεια (empatheia, meaning "physical affection or passion").[4] This, in turn, comes from ἐν (en, "in, at") and πάθος (pathos, "passion" or "suffering").[5] The term was adapted by Hermann Lotze and Robert Vischer to create the German word Einfühlung ("feeling into"). This was described for the first time in English by the British critic and author, Vernon Lee, who explained "the word sympathy, with-feeling... is exercised only when our feelings enter, and are absorbed into, the form we perceive."[6] Einfühlung was officially translated by Edward B. Titchener in 1909 into the English word "empathy".[7][8][9] However, in modern Greek: εμπάθεια means, depending on context: prejudice, malevolence, malice, and hatred.[10]Classification: Empathy is generally divided into two major components:[25]Affective empathyAffective empathy, also called emotional empathy:[26] the capacity to respond with an appropriate emotion to another's mental states.[25] …Cognitive empathyCognitive empathy: the capacity to understand another's perspective or mental state.More at:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empathy

Episode 2 - History of the Podcast

Dating back +10 years, my history with podcasting began pacing hotel rooms.Armed with a trusty Zoom H2 recorder, I began uploading audio to a now defunct blog.Five years ago, while chasing other people's dreams and ideas, I tried again.Several episodes in and lacking direction, it fell apart like many projects lacking vision.Last year, in October 2019, a podcast began with the end in mind.A clearer vision and well articulated goals led to a successful podcast project.Today, we're moving forward and utilizing the foundation that was built last year.
