The Kevin Miller Podcast

In this episode I want to erase the myth and polarization of selflessness. I grew up in the Bible Belt and heard so much about dying to self. Altruism and serving others was held up as the holy grail of human achievement. I and so many others got the message that if an action or activity gave you any joy it was selfish and the goal was to abstain from any desire and only fulfill the desires and needs of others. My experience is this made for a lot of guilty people, and I now believe we translated it wrong. This is not what I see from Jesus, and the most giving and fulfilled people I know are very joyful in fulfilling their own pleasures as well. I want us all free to understand what fulfills us, fulfills others better than “dying to self” does. Does this concept concern you? Drive with me a moment to unpack it and see if you don’t agree and feel incredibly empowered in a new perspective on so called selflessness.Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode we look at the motives around procrastination. I received some new information that's made me question whether we're really avoiding something and putting it off, or in fact, just giving in to a greater desire. The concept can turn the idea of procrastination upside down. It reminds me of people who don't do something because they are afraid of failing, but sometimes you find out what they are really afraid of is success. Discovering the root driver can be revolutionary when you realize something completely different is motivating you than what you thought.Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode I'm unveiling a very common motivator for your drive that I'd not adequately conceptualized before. We all realize that negative feelings can often be a powerful motivator for us. The desire to prove ourselves to the world. But my guest took it a step further and it was an "Ah ha!" Moment for me. Self-development leader Joel Brown cited that even among the top performers he's hired to coach, he finds that many not only have negative motivators driving them, but they are actually afraid to lose them, as they feel, even subconsciously, that it's their superpower. Boom. I think this is huge. We may be holding on to negative motivators because we've attached out identity to them. Joel Brown is a renowned self-development leader who has inspired 372 million people worldwide with his #1 personal development website, Addicted2Success. Over the last 14 years he's directly impacted over 12,500 lives through hands on training, conferences and retreats. Joel hosts the highly successful Addicted2Success podcast, with over 6.2 Million Plays & Downloads over the past 4 years + over 9 Million plays on his Youtube channel featuring thought leaders such as Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Simon Sinek, Les Brown and more. Joel stands apart to me because of his holistic blend of cutting-edge psychological strategies and deep spiritual insights, delving beyond the surface to target the subconscious patterns that often derail us from our path. Joel is also a Jedi of understanding procrastination. He actually has a quick quiz you can take to understand your procrastination type. There are six procrastination types and it really helpful to discover mine and how to better mitigate my propensities. Go to doquiz.com. doquiz.com.

In this episode we continue our walk through a fairly comprehensive list of menu items on treatments for depression, apathy, or even just feeling blue and unmotivated and fatigued. In last week’s episode, we discussed solitude, outside time, exercise, positive input, having purpose and surrounding yourself with inspiration. Here we continue on with about nine other menu items you can pick and choose from to raise your spirits and increase your hope. We really worked to be compassionate and gracious as we discuss this very serious issue, and not showcase any one thing as the holy grail, and recognize you could engage in so many of these and still have a clinical problem. But none of these efforts will hurt, and they will most assuredly help give you the best chance to combat what is holding you down. Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode I want you to consider the disappointments of your life. You may not perceive them as that critical. Like me, you don’t feel you’ve really had big trauma in your life. You feel you don’t have much real pain or hardship to cite and you should just be good. But you live with a good amount of frustration and discontent. That’s the tell tale sign. I have an intriguing story about tornados and termites to drive the point home that you are possibly at more risk than someone with great trauma. Risk of staying handicapped by your disappointments and not realizing your potential.  Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I want to address all of you who feel you have it pretty good. You really don’t have much to complain about. And you’re struggling with some guilt for wanting more and feeling some dissatisfaction. With all due respect, if you are hearing this podcast then you are called to more. Not to prove yourself or be worthy. But just cause you hear that call. Period. Let me explain, and yes, I’m going to make a case. I want you inspired to pursue more. Not burdened with it, and not guilty. You’re at risk for feeling guilty for not being content with what you have, or guilty for not doing anything about the itch you feel. Guilt is an enemy. Let’ get rid of it.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I cover your true heart’s desire. It’s to make a difference. To contribute to the world. Not because you are Captain Altruistic, but because you are human and selfishly this is what we most want. We want to matter to others. If you study the rich and famous, you’ll generally find them at two ends of the spectrum later in life. They are miserable and their lives are a shambles. A good number of them take their own lives or end up with lives that are nothing but pain and despair. Or, they are trying to use their resources to do something meaningful. They don’t want to be commemorated for being the most famous person ever or the richest. They want to have meaning. We all do. This is what fulfills us. And, we need to make a living. So how can we make a difference and get paid for it? That’s the show.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode we talk about other treatments for depression. Depression doesn’t take away your drive. It just leaves you stuck in park. Idling. Therapy and medications are the primary treatments for depression. This leaves out many other treatments and doesn’t address habits we often have that can massively dilute the efficacy of any amount of therapy and meds. We’re going to give you about 13. Depression, apathy, and just feeling blue and numb, are very real issues affecting all of us. We are all on the spectrum, we’re all coping to a level, and even when we are greatly inspired in one area of our life we can be dealing with aspects of depression in others. No treatments are guarantees, but all are highly relevant in combating these issues. We get through six of them in this episode and continue on in the next episode to cover the rest. A quick note of relevance I feel we should have started off with, is...motive. Until you have a clear motive to pull out of depression, few of any treatments will matter. And motive is the of my book, What Drives You. If you’re struggling with depression, I encourage you to check it out. If you’re in Long Beach, CA it’s at the public library, a friend just let me know. Only one, so act fast… The rest of you can go to Amazon and buy one. Or leave a review for this show and I’ll send a free copy to you. Let us know at kmiller@kevinmiller.com Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I’m going to enlighten you to another cultural illness we have. It’s explaining our decisions and actions to get other’s affirmations and validations. We want everyone’s approval and we spend copious amounts of time explaining ourselves and encountering anxiety about having our friend’s, family’s and the world’s blessings about everything we decide to do. And you may often be asked by others why we did something or are doing something or even why we like or dislike something. And we follow with, “Because…” and our explanation. We seek to justify all we do to others. In the last episode I discussed the toxic nature of doing things we feel we “should” do. I’m putting “because” in the same category. Now this isn’t a rebellious message to give everyone the finger and do as you darn well please and not seek wisdom and counsel. But the fact you are here and listening says you seek wisdom and counsel. You have to be accountable to yourself for what you decide to do and the actions you take in life, and trust you are seeking counsel and wisdom. But then you choose to do what you’ll do and I’m cautioning you to consider the need to explain yourself. That’s the show.Got a comment or question about an episode?
