    I'm 73. Why Am I Not Retired?

    Why do so many people reach retirement only to discover it doesn’t bring the fulfillment they expected? In the first episode of the new season of Waking Up, Greg explores the connection between work, retirement, purpose, and meaning—and why dissatisfaction may be a sign that it’s time to course correct.

    Damn It, Margaret Atwood!

    As the season comes to a close, this episode is less about providing answers and more about asking the right question. Real growth begins when we're willing to stop defending ourselves, pay attention to the clues, and honestly confront what's beneath the surface. The season ends with one powerful invitation: What will you have to face if you stop excusing yourself?

    Are You Climbing the Wrong Ladder?

    Are you climbing the wrong ladder or is there no such thing? This episode examines why growth is rarely linear, why changing course isn't failure, and why the opportunities we continue to encounter may be revealing something we've been avoiding. Ultimately, Greg leaves listeners with a powerful challenge: stop asking which ladder is right, and start asking which ladder has been following you and what it has cost you to ignore it.

    When Was the Last Time You Dreamed?

    Most people don't have a dreaming problem. They have a space problem. When life gets chaotic, dreaming is often the first thing we abandon. We become so focused on surviving the present that we lose sight of what could be possible. In this episode of Pants Around Ankles Prevention, Greg explores why dreaming isn't an escape from reality—it's often the beginning of transformation. If you've been stuck, overwhelmed, or simply too busy to imagine a different future, this conversation is for you.

    The Problem Isn’t Out There

    We spend much of our lives trying to rearrange our external circumstances so we can feel better internally. But what if we've got it backwards? In this episode, Greg explores the relationship between the outer world and the inner world, the difference between spirituality and religion, and why lasting growth can only happen from the inside out. Drawing from his experience facilitating more than 100 peer group meetings, Greg shares a powerful story of a business owner who recognized that changing jobs wouldn't solve his problem because the real challenge wasn't external—it was internal. This conversation is a reminder that while circumstances may present our problems, growth happens when we look inward. The question isn't how to change the world around us. The question is what the situation is trying to teach us about ourselves. Because in the end, it's all inside.

    Trigger Warning! Greg on His soapbox.

    This is direct challenge to the stories people tell themselves to avoid growth. Greg explores the idea that most decisions are ultimately driven by either love or fear and that fear often disguises itself as logic, careful reasoning, or practicality.

    You’re Asking the Wrong Question.

    Most people think their work is about making money. That’s not wrong… it’s just incomplete. In this episode of Pants Around Ankles Prevention, Greg shares a perspective that might challenge how you think about your career, your calling, and even your next move.

    Your Forgotten Superpower

    What if the thing you’re missing isn’t discipline… or strategy… or even clarity? What if it’s something you used to do naturally—without being taught? In this episode of Pants Around Ankles Prevention, Greg Hayne unpacks a truth that’s both simple and confronting: You’ve forgotten how to dream.
