    Attachments: Good & Bad

    Building on the principles found in his father’s best-selling book (The Four Agreements) Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. invites us to gauge how attached we are to our own viewpoint.  In The Five Levels of Attachment, we gain awareness of agreements implicitly made across the years – agreements that shape our reality and affect our future.  We are further shown how to release those which no longer reflect who we really are.

    The KKK Cash Cow

    There are few topics that can get AJ and Steve riled up a bit... but the marketing of the KKK and the selling of hate - at the expense of millions of black and brown people being killed... is a surefire way to ruffle feathers. In this episode, we pull the covers back on the KKK, their stronghold in Atlanta (which was KKK Ground Zero) and how PR and publicity along with the racist fabrics woven into America was the perfect combination for what has been a thorn in the sides of black and brown people for over a century. This controversial book shed light in ways we never imagined. It's definitely worth the read, especially in today's politically charged climate where the GOP has openly embraced hate as a tactic. Selling Hate by Dale Laackman is definitely intriguing - to put it lightly.

Principled negotiation, by contrast, aims to reach wise and fair agreements efficiently and civilly. In addition to walking you through their method, the authors offer numerous tips and techniques for handling challenging negotiations. Anyone can use their method, under any circumstances.

    The Myth of America

    On the last episode of 2020, @stevecanal and @ajjoiner unpack American Rule by @JYSexton, and it's a banger. Jared puts America on blast and deconstructs the myth of the God-ordained America - which supposedly brings democracy to every nation it touched. We all know this is far from the truth of America but he does a fantastic job of showing us how America became who she is today and how the country was perfectly teed up for one Donald J. Trump. Take a listen and as usual, leave your feedback on this episode and share with friends.

    Drifting without Intention

    First, the book is structured as a dialogue between the Napoleon HIll and the devil — that’s a unique conversation without a doubt! Hill gets the devil to agree to share with him all the various ways that people allow themselves to go astray. The book was written in 1938, it was not published until 2011, because it was deemed too controversial for his family. It’s an incredibly easy, incredibly fast, and incredibly captivating read. Check out @stevecanal & @ajjoiner as they peel back the layers of the amazing read.

    Calm in the Midst of Chaos

    HOW TO WIN WHEN SH*T HAPPENS is brilliantly organized in a flow that over the course of 30 days moves the reader from the core of self-doubt through layer after layer of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, to emerge as a stronger, more self-assured individual.  In this work, Christal Jordan has penned a transparently captivating tome that will touch your soul and regenerate your spirit to embrace each new day with energy, confidence, and most importantly, a renewed sense of worthiness.  The book is based on affirmations that Jordan has pulled from some of society’s most notable inspirational leaders and used to guide her personal journey to rich and rewarding life experience. Check out @stevecanal & @ajjoiner's interview with @enchantedpr!
