    Bonus Anchor: Up Until Now, From Now On | Season 2, Ep. 9

    Season 2, Episode 9 | "Without some version of these six words, the change you seek is going to be determined by something other than you."  In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch challenge listeners to confront the drift of life and the allure of comfort that keeps us asleep. They introduce a powerful six-word mantra: "Up until now, from now on," as a tool for personal transformation. This episode invites you to draw a line in the sand (or mud), acknowledge past patterns, and consciously choose a new path forward. Through personal anecdotes and practical insights, they explore the discomfort of change and the agency required to live a life of intention. Whether you're stuck in a rut or ready to break free, this conversation is a call to action to embrace voluntary discomfort and redefine your reality. Join the journey from passive existence to active participation in the life you truly desire. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction01:42 The Drift and Comfort02:39 Six Words That Change Everything11:30 Understanding the Drift15:40 Anchors and Correcting Course20:44 Taking Responsibility for Solutions24:05 The Fulcrum Moment: Honest to Hopeful29:33 The Nature of Change: Embracing Discomfort34:49 Invitation to Participate: Join the Journey40:56 Final Thoughts and Next Steps Mentions: M. Scott Peck: Mentioned in the context of people either taking too much responsibility or not enough responsibility. Known for his books "The Road Less Traveled" and "People of the Lie."Dan Tocchini: Credited with introducing the six-word phrase "up until now, from now on."Nassim Taleb: Referenced for his concept of "antifragility," which suggests that systems can become stronger through stress and adversity. Known for his book "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder."Psalm 40: Mentioned metaphorically in reference to being stuck in the mire and needing to draw a line in the mud.Jerzy Gregorek: Referenced for his saying, "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life." Anchor Actions: 1. Reflect on Your Default State: Identify whether you tend to take too much responsibility or not enough in your life situations. Use this awareness to expand your perspective. If you usually blame yourself for everything, consider what solutions you could uniquely offer. If you often see yourself as a victim, explore ways you might take responsibility for your actions and outcomes. 2. Practice the Six-Word Pivot: Implement the "Up until now, from now on" exercise in your daily life. When you encounter a situation where you feel stuck or dissatisfied, acknowledge it honestly by saying, "Up until now," and then create a hopeful vision for change with "From now on." This practice helps shift your mindset from being reactive to proactive. 3. Engage in Community and Hold Account: If you're feeling ready to take a step towards change but need support, consider joining a community that aligns with your goals. Engage in conversations that challenge you and hold you accountable. This could be through MWOD or another group that encourages growth through discomfort and intentional living.

    Anchor: Stand Now | Season 2, Ep. 8

    Season 2, Episode 8 | "Action means action. Now means now, stand now."  In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch challenge the illusion of progress that comes from merely thinking about change rather than taking action. They explore the concept of "Stand Now," urging listeners to break free from the comfort traps that keep them stagnant. They emphasize the importance of immediate action and the power of community in achieving personal growth. Whether it's the allure of buying an online course or the satisfaction of planning without executing, they dismantle the myths that hold us back. This episode is a call to arms for those ready to stop dreaming and start doing, highlighting the transformative journey of becoming strong and awake for love's sake. Join the conversation and discover how to take the first step toward the life you truly desire.

Today, take a single, tangible step towards it. Whether it's starting a new workout, initiating a difficult conversation, or beginning a project you've been putting off, the key is to act now, not later. Remember, action means action, and now means now.Daily Practice: Establish a daily routine that incorporates an element of voluntary discomfort. This could be a cold shower, a challenging workout, or a period of focused work without distractions. The idea is to build resilience and discipline by consistently doing something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. This practice will help you become the kind of person who doesn't miss a day and continuously grows stronger and more awake.Community Engagement: Consider joining a community or group that support and challenges you, providing a context for you to stand and hold account. Engaging with others who are on a similar journey can reduce cognitive load and provide the guidance needed to stay on track.

    Season 2, Episode 7 | "If I wasn't concerned with the outcome, but was more concerned with being in the experience, what would that open up for me?"  In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch explore the concept of playing infinite games versus finite games in life. They challenge the traditional mindset of winning and losing, urging listeners to focus on growth rather than just the end result. Through engaging anecdotes and thought-provoking discussions, they highlight how adopting an infinite game perspective can transform relationships, careers, and personal well-being. By embracing voluntary discomfort and consistent practices, they argue, we can cultivate resilience and a richer, more fulfilling life. This episode invites you to rethink your goals and the games you play, offering a fresh lens to view life's challenges and opportunities.

For example, in relationships, aim to nurture and perpetuate the bond rather than "winning" arguments or gaining leverage.Practice Daily Rituals for Identity Building: Establish daily habits that align with the person you want to become, not just tasks to complete.

    Anchor: Prioritize Profit | Season 2, Ep. 5

    Season 2, Episode 5 | "Are You Prioritizing Comfort Over Profit in Your Life?" In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch tackle the insidious nature of comfort and its impact on our lives. They explore how our craving for convenience often leads to unprofitable decisions and how prioritizing voluntary discomfort can yield significant returns. Using the metaphor of profit in business, they discuss the importance of making hard choices and embracing discomfort to achieve a more fulfilling life. From personal anecdotes about financial decisions to practical advice on fitness and nutrition, this episode is a call to action to prioritize profit in every aspect of life. Join the conversation and learn how to make the uncomfortable choices that lead to true growth and satisfaction.

This is about making conscious choices that prioritize a profitable return on your life.Set a Minimal Viable Practice: Whether it's in the gym or the kitchen, begin with a minimal viable practice that you can sustain over the long haul. Focus on consistency rather than intensity. For example, commit to a daily 10-minute workout or a simple, healthy meal plan. The key is to build a foundation that you can grow from, ensuring you don't miss a day.Simplify and Reduce Optionality: Just like businesses simplify their menu to reduce complexity and improve focus, do the same in your life. Eliminate unnecessary choices and distractions. This could mean cutting down on subscriptions, decluttering your living space, or streamlining your daily routines. The goal is to create more mental and physical space for what truly matters, making it easier to prioritize profit in every decision.

    Anchor: Travel Light | Season 2, Ep. 4

    Season 2, Episode 4 | "We're so used to being consumers, we're consumed, and we think it's normal. Freedom is to release." In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch explore the concept of "Traveling Light". They discuss how overpacking—whether it's physical items for a trip or emotional and mental burdens—can weigh us down and distract us from what truly matters. They emphasize the importance of making conscious choices to carry only what you need and the profound freedom that comes from letting go of excess of all kinds. By front-loading the effort to decide what is essential, you can engage more fully with your reality and experience a more fulfilling life.

Donate, recycle, or throw away the rest. This physical act of decluttering can lead to mental clarity and a sense of freedom. 2. Identify and Release Mental Burdens: Take a "mental inventory" while on a walk or during a quiet moment. Identify unresolved issues or relationships weighing you down. Commit to one action to address each burden, such as making a phone call, writing a letter, or having a necessary conversation. 3. Adopt an Essentialist Approach to Daily Decisions: For the next week, consciously limit your choices. Use a smaller bag, reduce your wardrobe to a capsule collection, or set strict limits on daily tasks. Notice how fewer options can lead to greater focus and satisfaction.
