The Kevin Miller Podcast

Jared Angaza joins Kevin Miller to discuss understanding your natural set point for happiness. They explore the concept of happiness as a direction rather than a destination, the distinction between happiness and joy, and finding joy independent of external circumstances. They also discuss the influence of attachment on happiness, building emotional intelligence, and the role of emotions as messengers.

We continue our series on Happierness with happiness researcher and evangelist Arthur Brooks. This is part two where we go behind the scenes to find out What Drives Arthur in his personal life as he strives to practice what he preaches. I appreciate that Arthur is up front with the fact that he’s not naturally prone to be in a so-called, happy state. He must proactively work at it. Me too. Arthur again is a Harvard Professor, a columnist at The Atlantic, a very in demand speaker, and author of 12 books. I had him on the show in 2023 for his book, From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life. The message in that book continues to influence me. This time he’s back with his new book co authored with Oprah Winfrey, titled, Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier. Arthur is a very intentional person and deeply considers all areas of his life. When I asked him about his values regarding his career he spoke to his efforts to stay aware of the why of what he does as opposed to just the what. In his pursuit of health I found it interesting that he cited he’s not necessarily happy to be exercising, but it helps him be less unhappy overall. This episode is quite an interesting journey through the lifestyle of one of our cultures leading experts on happiness.

Arthur Brooks, author of Strength To Strength, joins the podcast to discuss happierness and the importance of embracing all emotions. They also touch on improving health with HelloFresh, building online stores with Shopify, and finding lasting happiness by enjoying the present moment. The conversation dives into personal growth through audio content and shifting from 'need' to 'want'. They explore achieving happiness through a sustainable diet, helping others, and focusing on relationships and meaningful experiences to find true fulfillment.

The podcast features the guest, Kevin Miller's mom, who wants to share the message of what truly matters in life as her husband approaches death. They discuss the importance of being role models, focusing on what they can control, embracing people of other races, the significance of family, and the importance of relationships in finding happiness.

The podcast host shares the story of his father's impending death and reflects on the profound realization that we all assume we have more time. They discuss choosing purpose over treatment when faced with a terminal diagnosis, reflecting on faith and miracles, deathbed regrets, pursuing meaningful goals, contemplating improvement versus contentment, and preserving love and legacy through a love kit.

This is a What Drives Your Health episode. Your health comes from what you do and don’t eat, and what exercise you do and don’t do. And good sleep. Basically your lifestyle. Add to that your genetics and we have it pretty much covered, right? But what about your thinking? Not your mental state, but your actual thinking? Can you think yourself healthy? Or unhealthy? I’m with my great friend, Randy James, Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert and he and I have been studying this concept for a long time. A book we read cites a study where people worked out their biceps, with dumbbells. But half of the test subjects were tasked with just thinking about growing their bicep. The first group using dumbbells, grew their biceps. They measured bigger. The second group who just thought about it, also, got bigger biceps. Not as much as the actual dumbbell lifters, but take the measuring tape, and sure enough...they got bigger biceps just from thinking about it. Now take that to your health. As you’ll hear in this show, I talk about an injury I have. The only mental input I give it is...negative. I think about the pain and the lack. According to this study I could be helping heal it with my thoughts, but currently I’m making it worse. Let’s talk about how to use some thinking exercises to increase our health.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

I bring you a special What Drives You episode with renowned author of “The Millennial Whisperer”, Chris Tuff. Chris was one of the first advertisers to work directly with Mark Zuckerberg in 2006 and filmed one of the first ever, “viral” videos, which landed him on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Tuff’s natural ability to connect with his nearly 80% millennial and Gen Z workforce led him to publish the national bestselling The Millennial Whisperer in 2019. A global movement soon followed, as the Atlanta resident shared lessons on empathy and genuine connection at work on some of the largest stages in the world including such Fortune 100 companies as Nike. I of course wanted to dig into Chris’s personal drives, and you’ll be interested to hear that his initial drive was simply to…beat his older brothers. In anything and everything. While that may not sound dramatic, the thread you’ll keep hearing in these shows is how often seemingly innocuous events in our youth direct the trajectory of our lives and we don’t even realize it. Chris went on to find himself just 7 years ago, burned out. A wife, two kids, great success in work, and totally spent. He took a month-long sabbatical and reinvented his life. In this episode you’ll hear how his story unfolded, and through it I believe you’ll find aspects that reveal similar issues in your life, that you can reinvent.

In this episode, I bring you a special What Drives You episode with Maya Shankar. Maya is a cognitive scientist and the creator, host, and executive producer of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, made in collaboration with Malcolm Gladwell's production company, Pushkin Industries. A Slight Change of Plans was named the Apple Podcast of the Year in 2021. Maya actually founded the Behavioral Science Team at the White House, called “the Nudge Unit, which used insights from behavioral economics to write better public policy. Maya’s focus is around what happens to and in us, when change happens. Change we’ve pursued, and change that has fallen upon us. As you’re about to hear, there are often great and terrible consequences. Like the girl who lost 100 lbs and realized she was no longer who she was, and who she liked, and she was disappointed at people’s new behavior to her just because she lost weight. And the health nut who got cancer and from it realized if he’d understood what dealing with cancer did for his mindset, he wouldn’t have feared it so much. Join me as I have a very candid discussion with Maya on the ins and outs of what happens to us when change...happens. And find her new podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, wherever you get your podcasts.You can watch this full episodes on YouTube - just search for “What Drives You with Kevin Miller”What Drives You is brought to you by Ziglar, your premier source for equipping Life and Leadership coaches.

In this episode, What Drives Your New Year. You can get a fresh start any time. Any day. But I do appreciate the magic of January 1. Party because I enjoy the indulgences and challenges of the holiday season. I usually come to the New Year with lots of joy and memories, and a bit strung out from all the busyness, socializing, and celebrating, and I'm ready for a reboot. The most popular concepts people turn to are New Years Resolutions and Goals. Which are fine terminologies, though for some people, goals especially are not motivating. I'm going to give you some concepts that may resonate with you more, and regardless I want to share how to fuel your drive toward new things and avoid what most commonly derails people.Go to Zocdoc.com/KEVIN and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.
