John R. Miles - Eight ways to stop making excuses to unlock an intentional life. Brought to you by Indeed. Receive a $75 credit at:  https://www.indeed.com/passionstruck.  People often ask me, 'How does making excuses impact intentional positive change in life?' In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” As cruel as that sounds, Franklin's words are closer to reality than we think. Until we stop making excuses, we will encounter consequences to living our lives with focus, purpose, and intentionality. Trust me when I say, making excuses is one of the worst things you can do if you desire to become your best self.  --► Get the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/how-to-stop-making-excuses/  --► Subscribe to My Channel Here: https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnRMiles --► Subscribe to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/passion-struck-with-john-r-miles/id1553279283 *Our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/passionstruck.

What I Discuss With Ari Wallach The question we're asking ourselves, and we've continuously been asking ourselves for 1000s of years, is "Who am I and why am I here?" Suppose you are living a life that now has a purpose for something bigger than yourself. In that case, the immediate payoff is that you are now finding that the things that you do and the interactions that you have with yourself, your own inner voice with other humans, the things that you consume, and the ways that you vote, are no longer just about you. We explore the following topics: What is a “futurist”? What are the foundational principles of the Longpath perspective? What Ari means when he says “short-termism” What is “transgenerational empathy”? What are a few examples of the Longpath perspective at work today? Who are the biggest offenders of short-termism?  What is the payoff for planning for a future we won't be around to see? Why does becoming the great ancestors our future needs built on intentionality Have any questions, comments, or stories you’d like to share? Drop us a line at info@passionstruck.com!

What I Discuss With Dr. Ayelet Fishbach Many books have been written about influencing and motivating others but very little is documented on the science of motivating yourself.

What Ayelet learned from being raised in an Israeli kibbutz and how it shaped who she is today. Advice on how to overcome chronic loneliness. The framework for goal mastery. How to set a goal. How to keep the momentum going. How to juggle and prioritize goals. How to use and help people in your life to reach your goals. The difference between Do versus Do not goals. What is suppression and why is it notoriously hard to do? What we can learn from the loss-aversion principle. Why incentives matter. Why human beings are wired to choose immediate gratification over benefits we have to wait to receive? Why intrinsic motivation is the best predictor of engagement.

What I Discuss With Rabbi Avremi Zipple About Finding Purpose In Your Pain Rabbi Avremi Zippel came forward publicly in 2019 about the decade of sexual abuse he survived from a trusted childhood caretaker. Since then, Avremi discussed why he took an advocacy role in battling sexual abuse worldwide and championing survivors. During our discussion, Rabbi Zippel shows survivors of child sexual abuse how they can overcome their ordeal through support, love, and acceptance. Avremi’s childhood growing up in an orthodox Jewish family where he was homeschooled. How his caretaker, who entered his life as a close family friend, ultimately altered it forever. Avremi discusses the moment watching Law and Order in his early twenties when he realized he had suffered child sexual abuse. Why he felt self-blame for the abuse and decided to keep it a secret from his family and wife. How burying it ultimately had devastating effects on his life. Why going through talk therapy opened allowed him to start to heal from his past. We then turn to the healing journey he has been on. Why he chose to report the incident to the police. We discuss the eventual trial and its ultimate verdict. We examine how his life has changed following the verdict and his advice to others on how to overcome abuse and trauma. And so much more.

What I Discuss With Dr. Kara Fitzgerald About How You Reverse Your Biological Age Through Lifestyle and Diet Choices Dr. Fitzgerald and I discuss how there is a link between aging and chronic disease, and it has everything to do with epigenetics and their effect on aging. Biological age looks at specific patterns of a key epigenetic mark called DNA methylation. These DNA methylation patterns can reliably predict how fast our body is aging. Methylation is as essential to our bodies as breathing and is happening in our bodies and within our cells all of the time. Therefore, if you can give yourself the DNA methylations of a younger you, you can reset your biological aging process. She provides key ways to do this throughout our interview that are based on her years of experience backed by clinical trials.  Why do most adults spend the last 16 years of their lives suffering from chronic conditions and taking multiple medications? Why reversing biological age is key. Why it's epigenetics and not your genetics that determines your level of health and age How is epigenetic expression greatly influenced by DNA methylation? How do our diet and lifestyle choices impact DNA methylation? The results of her research and a groundbreaking clinical trial showed a reduction of biological age by three years. Why it is our daily choices and routines that add years to your life or reduce them Her diet and lifestyle program which increases healthspan and reduces your biological age. And so much more.
