The New Rules Podcast

Do you know where you come from? Where are you at? Where are you going? These three questions may seem simple, but they are perhaps the most vital questions you can ask yourself on the journey to discovering your authentic self. Emotional intelligence is the engine of a well-oiled enterprise, the heartbeat of a healthy individual and the compass to an authentic leader. So, why is authentic leadership so rare in today's world? In Episode 25, Adrian and Bri examine how our culture has programmed us to not properly process our stories to know where we come from to be able to clearly see where we are and where we want to go. We'll examine: How our upbringing shapes us as adults How we disconnect from our pain in order to survive Why pain and suffering is our greatest catalyst for growth Why codependent and narcissistic leaders are actually more similar than you'd think Leaning on emotional intelligence, even when it is unpopular Join us as we discuss practical application for emotional intelligence, and how to leverage this newfound information to lead a healthier life. - Don't miss out on our latest updates and content!

We've all been given the promise of hope - for a better life, an answer to our grievances, and an ease on our societal pressures. In the last episode, we explored how these promises were often empty - a disguise for another agenda which ended up hindering our progress. Now, in Episode 24, Bri and Adrian continue to explore practical solutions for hopelessness, and further diagnose the specific hurdles we often experience while yearning for an authentic lifestyle. - We'll examine: The common perception of authenticity and the proper definition What happens when our world doesn't 'keep its promises?'

Hope is not just a buzzword, it's a vital principle necessary for human flourishing. Without it, societies could not progress, individuals could not persevere, and purpose would be an afterthought. So, what happens when we embrace hopelessness as an ideology as a means to cope with the world around us? In Episode 23 of the New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri examine "Hope I Can Believe In" and the cost of underdelivering on a promise to create monumental change. We'll examine: Humans natural tendency to drift towards a utopian mindset False promises of "change" and hope The crisis of radical individualism and the nuances within it How expectations don't often line up with cultural reality How living authentically can help us operate through and within the crisis of hopelessness Join us as we take a deep dive into the promise of hope, the crisis of hopelessness, and the nuances in between.

Information is coming at us from all sides. Consuming information these days can be compared to trying to drink water from a fire hydrant. Access points into our lives are everywhere. To what extent do these "access points" affect how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis? Do we ever slow down to evaluate our intake? Asking ourselves why we choose to consume the content we do, and evaluate what value it brings? We mindlessly scroll through social media, but how many apps a day? We listen to our favorite podcasts, but how many are there? With the digital revolution and microwave-culture calling the shots– our ability to regulate these points of entry is getting harder by the minute. In Episode 21 of the New Rules Podcast, we examine this concept of access points through relationships, work, media, and beyond. We'll examine: We have so many access points, we can't 'keep the doors shut' The growing misconception of 'lack of resilience' within Gen Z and how they might not be as "coddled" as what is believed Access has grown faster than we could possibly adapt to in a healthy way Relationships are important access points that are often overlooked as such, that can shape us, both good and bad. Having too many access points can be extremely overwhelming - and without proper boundaries, will lead to loneliness, despair, and crisis. Join Adrian and Bri as they examine the proper way to evaluate and cope with access points in work, life, and beyond. - Don't miss out on our latest updates and engaging content!

Many times, we assume that we must be a corporate leader, owner, or in a position of power in order to claim 'ownership' over our meaningful work. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, if you adopt an ownership mentality- as an employee, a parent, or even a friend, it can transform your life in a positive way. In Episode 20 of the New Rules Podcast, we examine this principle of ownership inside and out of the workplace. We'll examine: Why should you declare ownership if you don't have a stake in a workplace? Would you rather have an ownership-minded individual or a skilled individual as an employee for your organization? Adopting ownership in your home and avoiding an egotistical way of thinking How an ownership-driven mindset is an unparalleled key to success in work, life, and beyond Join Adrian and Bri as they challenge us to examine your own life and if you are taking enough ownership in the places and spaces that you inhabit!

We all want to separate ourselves from the pack, but how do we define what makes us different from the rest? In Episode 19 of The New Rules Podcast, we delve into the concept of being "One of One" and embracing our authentic selves. When we understand our positive and negative traits, we can leverage our strengths to better ourselves and the world around us. In this episode, we'll discuss: Being One of One - How do you create work that is one of one? (unparalleled) - How do you influence the world around you in a way that only you can? Action vs Intention - What drives the decisions that you make? - Are your decisions influenced by your intent? We challenge you to face the internal question: "Why should my intentions be relevant if my actions stay the same?" Join Adrian & Bri on their journey of what it means to not only own your truth but discover ways to be "one of one" in your personal life, with your family, in the workplace, and beyond!
