Passion Struck with John R. Miles

In today's episode, I tackle the power of forgiveness by examining it through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. I then provide five powerful ways to forgive. If you're like most people, the thought of forgiving someone who has hurt you probably seems like the last thing you want to do on earth. This doesn't make you resentful—it just makes you human.

What I Discuss About the Power of Forgiveness Forgiveness is difficult because evolution has taught us to avoid being exploited by others. One of the easiest ways to prevent exploitation is by retaliating or avoiding the offender. Choosing to forgive someone who has caused you pain can free you from the harm caused by others. However, unforgiveness can tie you to your past, stealing you of peace and joy.  --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/  --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/dsgHPKg5qWA  Like this show?

What We Discuss with Dr. Marisa G. Franco Dr. Franco generously shares her deep understanding of how to nurture true and deep connections. She explains why our connections underlie everything—our motivation, career, health, and sense of who we are. We discuss how to make and keep friends in a world that is filled with distraction, burnout, and chaos.  Why we as a society place more emphasis on romantic love at the expense of other relationships and the sciences that is behind the bonds we form between us—for example, why your friends aren't calling you back (it's not because they hate you!).

Stanford professor Jeremy Utley joins us on Passion Struck to discuss his new book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric that Matters, co-written with Perry Klebahn. Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/). Let's face it. We all strive for grand ideas, but very few truly comprehend how novel ideas are born. Innovation is not a one-time event, nor is it a sprint or a hackathon. It comes from the mastery of ideaflow, a technique that advances everything else you do. The simple fact is that ideas matter. That is why innovators focus on inputs instead of outputs. According to Jeremy, innovators don't obsess over quality, they develop quantity. Jeremy Utley is the Director of Executive Education at Stanford’s d.school and an Adjunct Professor at Stanford’s School of Engineering. He is the co-host of the d.school’s widely popular program, “Stanford’s Masters of Creativity.” Purchase Idea Flow: https://amzn.to/3SwyXKM  (Amazon Link) --► Get the resources and all links related to this episode here: https://passionstruck.com/jeremy-utley-on-mastering-ideaflow/  --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/  --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/0JZ0btOHz5g  --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283  Where to Follow Jeremy Utley Website: https://www.jeremyutley.design/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanford/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyutley/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyutley/  -- John R.

Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck).  We are immersed in an era of smartphone obsession and digital addiction. I hear it all the time: “I can’t live without my smartphone,” or “I feel apprehensive when I’m not able to check my messages,” or “If I’m not on social media, I fear I’m missing out.” Not surprisingly, research reveals that too much technology use diminishes our physiological and physical health, human connection, our work performance and is destroying our relationships. Short of throwing your device away, how can you learn to build better habits around technology — keeping its benefits while minimizing the adverse effects? In today’s episode, I explore why smartphones are killing conversations and human-to-human connections we need to feel fulfilled. I’ll start by talking about a personal experience I had earlier today. I will then discuss why smartphones are negatively impacting our connections and provide five ways that you can break free from digital addiction. --► Get the resources and all links related to this episode here: https://passionstruck.com/5-ways-you-can-break-free-from-digital-addiction/  --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/  --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/avE-l31OS8Y  --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283  Thank You, BiOptimizers and InsideTracker, for Sponsoring.

Dr. Nate Zinsser joins me on Passion Struck to discuss how you create a confident mind. Brought to you by BiOptimizers (Get 10% off at https://magbreakthrough.com/passionstruck) and Inside Tracker (get 20% off the entire InsideTracker store at https://www.insidetracker.com/passionstruck).  Have you ever wondered how best to harness your belief in yourself to succeed in any field? Dr. Nate Zinsser and I discuss why NFL quarterbacks like Eli Manning can rise to the moment and achieve peak performance. Why, whether your mission involves leading a platoon into combat, returning an opponent’s serve, or delivering a sales pitch to a roomful of skeptical prospects, how you can perform best when you are so sure about your abilities that your flow of fear, doubts, and confusion slows to the barest minimum. Dr. Zinnser has spent his career training the minds of the U.S. Military Academy cadets as they prepare to lead and perform when the stakes are the highest—on the battlefield. Alongside this work, he has coached world-class athletes, including a Super Bowl MVP, numerous Olympic medalists, professional ballerinas, NHL All-Stars, and college All-Americans, teaching them to overcome the pressure and succeed on the biggest stages. For the first time, Dr. Zinsser distills his research and years of experience in his book The Confident Mind, which is a complete guide to confidence: how to understand it, how to build it, how to protect it, and how to rely upon it when your performance matters most.

Dolly Chugh joins me on the Passion Struck podcast to discuss her new book, A More Just Future. In our interview, Dolly provides a frank yet endearing compass for "embracing the paradox" that America was built on the idea that all people are equal. Yet it was founded on slavery. Chugh interweaves lessons on structural racism, the patriot's dilemma, and settler colonialism. We discuss her study of good people and why we should stop focusing on being a good person so that we can become a better one. We explore the contradictions of US history and how we should learn to view them, connecting the dots between current events and the past. Dolly Chugh is a Harvard-educated, award-winning social psychologist at the NYU Stern School of Business, where she is an expert researcher in the psychology of good people. In 2018, she delivered the popular TED Talk “How to let go of being a ‘good’ person and become a better person.” She is the author of A More Just Future and The Person You Mean to Be.

Learning to be vulnerable can be messy because it comes with significant risks and big rewards. It's difficult to put ourselves out there because we fear it could impact our reputation or may even cause us to lose our partners or friends. But, the power of vulnerability also leads to finding a beautiful sense of belonging and being embraced by others. In today's episode, I will tackle vulnerability by sharing the story of my friend who struggled with how to be vulnerable. I will discuss what being vulnerable means, why we avoid it, the benefits of being vulnerable, and five ways I have found you can build it. -► Get the resources and all links related to this episode here: https://passionstruck.com/learning-how-to-be-vulnerable/  Read the transcript here: https://johnrmiles.com/learning-how-to-be-vulnerable-5-ways-to-get-there/  --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/  --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/GfbPTGIRiCs  --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283  Thank you, Amazon Pharmacy, Indeed, and MasterClass, For Your Support Amazon Pharmacy -  Just Click https://amazon.com/passionstruck Indeed - Head to https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck, where you can receive a $75 credit to attract, interview, and hire in one place.

Often times hardship halts even the best of us in our tracks. It becomes this heavy weight that stops us from becoming our best selves. But in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, I will explain why experiencing pain in life allows the vast, dormant power within you to awaken and express itself. I will build upon this premise by discussing my own personal journey and how I experienced pain and grew from it. But, more importantly, I will explain how my story applies to you and how you can turn to experiencing pain as a pathway for personal growth.  -► Get the full show notes for all resources from today's episode: https://passionstruck.com/growth-lies-other-side-of-experiencing-pain/  -► Want the transcript: https://johnrmiles.com/why-experiencing-pain-is-the-pathway-to-growth/  --► Prefer to watch this episode: https://youtu.be/_j9RwbloUY8  --► Subscribe to Our YouTube Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the Passion Struck Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283  Thank you, Ka'Chava and InsideTracker, For Your Support InsideTracker is the ultra-personalized performance system that analyzes biomarker data from your blood, DNA, lifestyle, and fitness tracker to help you optimize your body and reach your health & wellness goals.
