After reading "The Book of Joy" by Douglas Abrams, Dr. Walker realized he didn't know a lot about The Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu, so he did some research and discussed what he learned with Wende. You'll be sure to learn new things too as they go on different tangents like the Mandela Effect. This episode is proof that there's always new things to learn, no matter how educated you are!

Leverage Your Time goes on a road trip to talk with Brad & Andrea Walker, owners of Lighthouse Films in Wilmington NC! This fun and fascinating episode is filled with inspiration, motivation, and a whole lot of laughter. Andrea discusses the company themes that the Lighthouse Family has adopted over the years, including this year's theme of "Wander and Wonder." This theme encourages the Lighthouse Family (and all of us) to choose to unplug, creating intentional space to foster creativity and work/life balance. You'll want to bookmark this episode and return to it again and again!

Today we discuss not one but TWO classic books, Malcolm Gladwell's 2000 bestseller The Tipping Point and its follow up Revenge of the Tipping Point. We talk about Gladwell's theories of what causes social (and physical) epidemics to spread rapidly: what exactly is that "tipping point" that turns the tide of popularity? We're especially curious as to what the implications are in today's political climate: have we passed the tipping point towards autocracy and dictatorship in America?

Today we take a detour from discussing personal development and talk about something that makes life fun: watching the Final Four! We're huge Duke fans, so we recorded a special basketball themed episode during halftime of the Auburn-Florida game on April 5. It doesn't age well. But we had a great time talking about our Final Four memories with Vicki, Greg, and even a special call into Brad. Hope you find some humor, entertainment, and even some life-balance application in this episode!

Today we talk about how to reorient towards the future by planning your next steps. Look at the month ahead: is it full? We'll talk about how to eliminate tasks to give you margin for what's most important. Or, is your upcoming month empty? Then it's time to work towards your long-term goals. Use the information you gleaned from reflecting on the previous month to help you reorient towards what's next.

For best results: pair this episode with the one we did last month on REFLECTION.
