    Pick something and commit, stop dabbling

    Pick something and commit. It’s fine to experiment to see what floats your boat, but you do need to eventually set sail. You need to stop dipping your toes off the end of the dock and dive in. You will not grow by testing 50 things out to 20%. You would learn more by picking any one of them and going 100% in. If it's not right for you, great! Now you can say that with certainty and move onto the next. This will help  give you clarity around the things you do and do not want. Which in turn should increase the likelihood the next experiment(s) will be more aligned with your true goals.  And if I’m being honest, I need to do this too. I am the dabbling debutant of the ball, the toe dipping counselor, the king of sampling but never committing. That ends now. And if even just one person has the same reaction after listening, that’s good enough for me 🙂 Here is the link to the form so your voice is heard! Let me know what YOU want to hear… HERE ha  Or just email me at: whatsyour1thing@gmail.com Peace out Girl Scout

    If you're feeling helpless, get more helpful. Joy is found in serving others

    I want to learn how to serve you, my dearest listener, better. Please fill out as much (or as little) info as you want on this form HERE. It really means the world to me :) - I need to get out of my own head, so please let me inside of yours 😂 To recap this episode in a few lines. I've been pretty "self-centered" lately and have felt off. That is because I've been focusing too much on myself and not enough on serving others. I walk you through a story explaining how the awards worth getting in life take time. How we need to enjoy being in the present moment more, and to not take the internet so seriously. (When your cute video of playing with your kids flops and gets 2 views). Make sure to listen all the way to the end (or skip to it) and listen/watch me make a fool of myself :P Peace Out Girl Scout ;)

    If you haven’t made a friend in awhile this is for you (what Kids Can Teach Us)

    Be honest — when’s the last time you made a new friend? For most of us, it feels awkward, risky, and even a little scary. What if they laugh at us? What if we get rejected? That’s exactly what my daughter Simone was nervous about when she started at a brand-new school. But here’s the thing — she figured it out on day one. In this episode, Simone teaches me her secrets to making friends, and along the way, we uncover a bigger truth: the fear of embarrassment never really leaves us, but neither does our need for connection. And because this is us, we don’t just stay serious — we get goofy, we film outside, and yes… our chickens steal the show. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lonely, or unsure how to put yourself out there, this conversation is your reminder that it’s okay to be nervous — but it’s not a reason to stop trying.

    If You Have a Problem, Make It a Priority. Treat Your Problems as If They Are Someone Else's

    Giving advice is easy. Living it? Not so much. In this episode with my good friend Spencer Jones, we dig into: If it’s a problem, make it a priority. Why communication at home is way harder than with strangers. The decision hack: treat your problem like it’s someone else’s. How to set boundaries (without guilt). The heliotropic effect — why some people fill you up while others drain you. And maybe… you’re already living your purpose. It’s part therapy and part ridiculous - Time to creak into this egg and see what glows. Make sure to check out our first episode released on 8/4/25 "Help Find Your Purpose By Following the Clues from Your Life w/ Spencer Jones"

    When Your Actions Don’t Match Your Values = Unhappy

    I’ve been off lately. Short-tempered, not very kind, definitely not the dad I want to be. And after some thinking (and finally listening to Simon Sinek on the High Performance podcast with Jake Humphrey and Damian Hughes), I figured out why. I wasn’t living in line with my values. Who I say I am on the inside hasn’t matched how I’ve been acting on the outside. And when that happens, happiness feels impossible. So in this episode, I’m walking and talking through what that looks like in real life — from losing my cool with my kids to realizing I just need to let my daughter check the mail for the fifteenth time. Happiness isn’t waiting somewhere down the road; it’s in the small, annoying, ordinary things we already have. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not living as the person you say you are, this one’s for you.

    Two Happiness Hacks You’ll Actually Remember w/ Travis Rhoden

    Need a quick mood boost? In this episode, I’m joined by the hilarious Travis Rhoden from Bestie Approved, and we’re cutting straight to the chase with two science-backed ways to be happier—without slogging through a two-hour self-help marathon. First up: the “Duchenne smile” (yes, it’s as fun to say as it is to do), a simple trick involving a pencil, your molars, and 30 seconds that can actually lift your mood. Then, we talk about the underrated magic of giving yourself a pause—especially in the middle of an argument—because silence can be the ultimate power move. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper episode without banter, questionable fashion challenges for Podcast Movement, and somehow… a nun and priest costume pact. Short, sweet, and guaranteed to make you smile (with or without crow’s feet).

    E55 - Purpose Defined: Significance + Existence w/ Nick Pretasky

    What if your purpose isn’t a destination but a set of clues you can track? In this episode of What’s Your 1 THING?, Jordan Hiller sits down (cough.. cough.. stands ;D) with Nick Pretasky of Humanistic Leadership to unpack significance (when you matter most) and existence (what the world would lose if you weren’t here). You’ll discover why leadership is about helping others on their journey, how to measure your own progress, and why it’s okay to still be figuring it out. Ready to start tracking your purpose progress? Grab a journal, note one small win toward your why this week, and share it with us. Follow Nick at humanistic‑leadership.org—and if you need a motivational speaker who keeps it real (and may even share some hilarious bloopers), give Jordan a shout!
