If a comedian makes a joke and someone laughs, that joke was funny, even if you're not the one laughing.  We are in a golden age for comedy, and it's not because people are funnier than ever, it's because people are so much easier to make fun of than ever. The absurdities around what offends people in 2023 has made benign topics taboo, and the taboo will always bring about a bigger cackle than "safe" content that doesn't offend anyone.  The general rule is as long as you make fun of everyone, including yourself, then your material is fair game. So why are people so offended these days? On this episode Larry and Dr. Sean break down why some people take offense to almost anything funny, why they don't find certain things funny while still understanding that the content is funny for someone else, and not much more, that's about it for this show.  Dig in!

What is a real job? Why do parents want their kids to go work for corporations or get a graduate degree or a doctorate? We think it's because there is a high perceived likelihood of safety, and financial success... Along with some status. But what if that's all perceived, smoke, no fire? On this episode of The Active Life Podcast Dr. Sean and Larry discuss how to handle it when people ask when you plan to get a "Real job".

Every time we say "it's not about the money", while struggling financially, we lie to ourselves.  "I wish I had more money" and "I don't care if I make more money", are at odds. Holding both at the same time will erode self trust, lead to burnout, and it needs to be stomped out, now.  On today's podcast Dr. Sean explains why, how, and what to do. 

In January 2018 Active Life was a company that could only pay Dr. Sean $3,000/month, and he had just left clinical practice and gym ownership, $3,000 was not going to cut it.  The only client acquisition strategy that he knew was to dive into the DM and start messaging people who were using hashtags about their body hurting, and attempting to help them, remotely.  30,000 DMs might be a stretch, it was probably more like 20,000 after doing some back of the napkin math, but that's still A LOT of DMs! This episode encapsulates some of the lessons from that insane, unsustainable pace.
