Despite living in one of the most optimistic times in history, younger Americans are more afraid of the world than previous generations. They're a mess when it comes to Anxiety and Depression. The good news is that we’ve made huge strides in destigmatizing those mental health maladies. There is little shame or disgrace in anxiety and most other mental health conditions today.
However, in an effort to destigmatize mental health, we’ve opened an entire generation of kids to using their mental health issues as a part of their identity. Listen to this episode to learn why the kids are now self diagnosing themselves with major conditions like Bi-Polar Disorder and Autism....and announcing their diagnosis to millions of people around the world. -
Today’s kids are the product of the most mental health intervention, the most therapy, the most anti-anxiety meds and the most understanding and empathetic parents in history. But, the kids are also the most anxious, depressed, medicated, lonely, sad and fearful kids in history.
With all this sympathy and intervention, shouldn't our kids be improving? Shouldn't the number of kids suffering from anxiety and depression be going down? (Hint: it goes up every single year.)
Tune in to learn why much of the struggling might just be our fault. -

The Great Recession in 2008-2009 started a downward trend in the birth rate. The slide continued until we hit an all-time low in fertility 2020. That’s surprising since people were quarantined at home and should’ve been more active in the slap & tickle department.
The US population hit a record low the following year. Not good. So, will the next generation buck the fertility trend in order to save Social Security and Medicare before it goes bankrupt?

It's that time of year in the United States. A time filled with anxiety and, even, dread. Yes, we are in the window each spring when high school seniors (and their parents) anxiously await to see whether Junior got into his "dream school". Yes, an enormous amount of anxiety is in the air. But, what if I told you that none of this really matters? That your kid's success has very little to do with the their college acceptance or even their college completion. If you're out standing by your mailbox waiting on the mail you definitely need to give this a listen.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that life is uncertain. Everything is fluid. Everything. Our health. Our livelihood. Our family. Our politics. Our peace of mind. It's all fluid. Have you already forgotten about the pandemic? I thought so....

Each season holds meaning in our lives. Some seasons, like spring and summer, create energy with their abundant light. But, winter is a time of rest, stillness and reflection. An opportunity to grow in the midst of uncertainty. It's a metaphor for life. But, fortunately, spring always comes with it's light a green shoots.

Tough questions: what do you want the end of your life to look like? Do you prefer heroic measures and last-ditch efforts to save your life, like CPR and intubation?

Or, would you prefer to enjoy your last days at home, surrounded by friends and family and music and dogs? These are important questions, even if they are incredibly difficult.

We often think of Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos as our benchmarks of wealth. But, that's like comparing your golf swing to Victor Hovland's golf swing. But, here's the secret.

But, frankly, most men think about food and sleep a lot more than sex. So, other than these things, what do men think about? You'll have to listen to find out.

Life’s major milestones, like graduating college, getting married, or achieving a promotion, may feel like reaching that proverbial summit. Here’s the thing though, reaching those milestones is only half the journey. It’s just the beginning of the trek down Mt. Everest. Reaching them is like the starter’s pistol for a new chapter, whether it’s a new career, raising a family, or proving you deserved that promotion. Achieving the goal isn’t the “end goal,” it’s simply a means to an end (goal).
