  • 13275: The Swedish Concept Of Lagom Might Be Just Right For You
    Mar 17 2026

    Hey there, hero!

    Lagom is not “just OK.” It’s not “good enough for government work.”

    It’s actually a cultural concept in Sweden that is really useful in lots of different ways.

    In a nutshell, it means “not too much, not too little, but just right.”

    Kinda like Goldilocks and her interaction with those three bears.

    And we, as performers, can embrace lagom to help us try just a bit harder…

    …and not get wrapped around the axle trying to be perfect.

    Your thoughts on this? Does the concept of “just right” feel just right to you? Let me know in the comments below.

  • 13274: But Sometimes Winners DO Quit
    Mar 10 2026

    Hey there, hero!

    You’ve likely heard many times in life the pithy quote, “Winners never quit!”

    (And sometimes, the additional converse of “Quitters never win!”)

    Yeah. You can safely ignore that.

    This episode is all about the truth: winners do sometimes quit.

    Let’s discuss a bit deeper when and how and why.

    When do you decide to give up? What are your personal standards for abandoning an effort? Let me know in the comments below.

  • 13273: Left-brained? Right-brained? Relax. You’re Likely Both.
    Mar 3 2026

    Hey there, hero!

    If you’re at all like me, I’ve often wondered if I’m the odd man out. A left-brained person in a right-brained body.

    See, I’m a creative…but I’m also proudly analytical and organized.

    I hear you. “Freak!” Yep.

    And guess what? Turns out you are too.

    My evidence? Two different authoritative videos on YouTube that dispel the left-brain/right-brain myth.

    From Encyclopedia Britannica:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkJHc5QKc8w

    And from TedX:

    Feel better? Still hanging on to your past labels? Let me know in the comments below.
