The Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting Podcast Operation Podcast

Welcome back to The Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Today, Jason has Adam Roa on the podcast and the two talk about all things related to creativity, igniting your creator self, dealing with lack of creativity, and following your heart and intuition when creativity seems far away. Being a creative person is a characteristic we all are born with so releasing it throughout our life should not be a difficult process.
 
“Everyone’s creative energy is completely unique and I don’t believe that there is anything more healing than your unique frequency and essence being allowed to express through you and out into the world.” – Adam Roa
 
Adam explains that being creative is a consequence of facing resistance from a certain situation; it’s a way out. For that reason, the creative process is sometimes draining and can trigger self doubt (“Am I really capable of doing this?”). But once you push past the self doubt you won’t regret it.
 
“Few people understand how much space creativity requires and creativity is the expansion of what your brain is able to put together.” – Adam Roa
 
In addition, Jason and Adam talk about what aspects of life help bring creativity to the surface. Self expression, self love, vulnerability, and even getting out of our comfort zone are all helpful for creativity. Being comfortable with discomfort requires being comfortable with yourself, and that’s already halfway there.
 
“The world is craving authenticity. We’re at a stage where authenticity has almost become dangerous because it’s got to a point where no one knows what to believe so people are grasping onto things and ideologies and dogmas that are causing harm to a lot of people on this planet.” – Adam Roa

Join your host Jason Goldberg in another episode of the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Today, Jason talks about feeling self-love, having self-confidence, and how important it is to practice these actions every day. Self-love is about caring and taking responsibility for oneself, so it’s normal to think we should have these feelings for others. But, shouldn’t we have these exact same feelings about us?
 
“It may not seem this way on the surface but self-love can actually be an act of defiance. What if I don’t comply? What if I don’t waste my super limited time and energy trying to fit in? In a world where we were thought to live in compliance from an early age, it can feel really edgy to put ourselves first but that’s a big component of self-love.” – Jason Goldberg
 
Lack of self-love not only affects the way we treat our own selves, but it’s also intrinsically related to the way other people view us. The curiosity here is: the way other people view us also influences how we treat us, thus creating an endless cycle.
It’s important to remember to not live life like we are trying to pass someone else’s test because approval only needs to be met if it comes from within. Do YOU approve YOU?
 
“At the end of the day self-love is what’s left over in the absence of self criticism and the absence of self criticism is what comes in the presence of self compassion.” – Jason Goldberg
 
Another point that’s worth talking about is the idea that we repeat the same behaviors when we don’t practice self-love. Comparing ourselves with others, constantly looking for approval, seeking permission to be yourself, and outsourcing your feelings are all behaviors that are stopping us from loving the C.R.A.P. out of us. That’s exactly what Jason shares today.

Welcome back to The Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! In this episode, Jason talks with Courtney Granberry and Matthew Russell. They share some important opinions on a variety of topics that are relevant for the period we’re living and important for the changes we’re experiencing, both as individuals and as a community.
 
“I think everybody should have a right to vote with their dollar, and vote with their attention, because the new economy is attention.” – Matthew Russell
 
You will hear all about the “Cancel Culture” and how it has been impacting everyone that has some kind of visibility online. This social issue revolves around what the consequences of “canceling” someone publicly in terms of public shaming and psychological damages are, what really causes it, what the limits between a bad joke or an offensive insult are, who’s actually behind this whole online cancelation, and all the branches of topics that this discussion eventually leads to.
 
“It’s always nice to be mad at something and then take a step back and actually think about it. I feel like sometimes you react so fast that you don’t have time to really think about it. So, I think it is just educating yourself, reading books, not taking things personally, and maybe having a conversation with someone who’s older than you.” – Courtney Granberry
 
On a lighter note, they talk about their work – with music and modeling, what new projects they have been up to, how they see the future with new technologies popping up everywhere, and their experience with meditation and how it correlates with their lifestyle. At the end of the chat, Jason asks Courtney and Matthew what is the one thing that they are willing to (and wanting too) completely ruin in this lifetime. Listen in to catch their response!
 
“If people, for the most part in their track record, seem to be pretty well intentioned people and they slip up and say something that is not appropriate and possibly offensive – and they are held accountable, somebody does call them out for saying it -, do they deserve to be canceled as a result of that?” – Jason Goldberg

Welcome back to the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! In this episode, Jason shares some insights on how to handle anger and how to switch from reacting to anger to creating with anger. Anger shows itself in a lot of ways but curiously there’s also a lot of ways we can deal with it. First and foremost: see the situation from a more calm perspective and then ask yourself: “Am I willing to let go of this feeling?” If the answer is positive, your mind and body will instantly start to slow down.
 
“Anger is not inherently bad and your feelings are never wrong. The challenge becomes when we think that the feeling of anger is also the most effective guide as to what we should do.” – Jason Goldberg
 
Another thing that can help us administer anger is to look at the root cause of it, and make an effort to analyze it: is it going to be this important 5 days from now? Is it going to affect me next week, next month, next year? Negative thoughts only exist in the past or future. The present moment is completely ours. At the end of the day, thoughts are just thoughts, not truths. When sh*t hits the fan, what is THE best next step that’ll help the situation?
 
“When we are being puppetered by anger, we diminish our own experience of life and we just aren’t ourselves.” – Jason Goldberg

Welcome back to The ‘Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting’ Podcast! This week Jason has a conversation with Oren Harris. Oren talks about the process of breaking free from your identity and becoming someone else. Your personality is defined by who you want to be; changing your personality, although not a very quick process, is totally doable. That shift allows other things to happen such as: going into unexpected career directions; diving into your unknown purpose; discovering the abilities you master; and discovering what you’re designed to do in this life.
 
“On a level of mind our beliefs about ourselves, our belief about the world, the perspectives that we are holding can be flow enhancers or flow blockers.” – Oren Harris
 
Oren also talks about how to use your flow to prepare for something important. When we have an event coming (or a new experience, a big decision, a dilemma to solve) it is less beneficial to try to see the outcome and control the process rather than just surrendering. According to Oren, in this moment you should put down the desired outcome and ask yourself: “Why am I doing this?”
 
“Surrender is letting go of control. Not letting go of a goal, of a vision, of what’s essential, of what’s important, of what your intention is.” – Oren Harris
 
To be in this state of flow is to completely let go, including trying to control the flow. When we live in autopilot: always trying to achieve; always doing too much; always attaching ourselves to methods, belief systems and routines, we start to feel limited. There isn’t just one way to do things. So, how do we change this thought process and start allowing the flow to exist? Oren explains that self awareness is the first step: to become familiar with what needs to change is to begin this change.
 
“If you expand your consciousness, expand your mindset, and you become someone new - even if you take a small action in that - the measure of its impact is not the action or just the result of that one action… that action represents an entirely new level of being.” – Oren Harris
 
About Oren Harris
Oren Harris is a life and transformation coach, teacher and speaker. Having worked alongside entrepreneurs, high performing leaders, and creatives of all kinds, Oren bases his life and work in awakening the full potential of people. He does so, either by helping with performance or by igniting their flow.

Welcome back to the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! In this episode, Jason talks about Ego, and how we can make it our reasoned guide. Ego can be defined as our self identity, our ideas and opinions about others and the world and our sense of self consciousness – all at the same time. But Ego is also seen as a bad feature in a person and getting rid of it is seen as the right thing to do. What if you switch throwing away your Ego by simply being aware of it? Using it instead of being used by it? You will learn that Ego exists to conduct us in the right direction and help us make better choices.
 
“Common knowledge and belief is that the Ego is your enemy. That it works against you, that it holds you back from growing and being successful, that it hurts your relationships, and makes you an arrogant shmug if not taken care of. But what if your Ego can actually be your gateway to, not only your own personal fulfillment but, to actual meaningful contribution in the world?” – Jason Goldberg
 
Jason also explains the concepts of FREEgo and FLEEgo. FREEgo as being our sense of free thinking, free will and freedom. Freeing ourselves of feeling guilty for having wants and needs. Freeing ourselves of being ashamed for setting boundaries, having self-love, but also freely being of service and being there for others. And FLEEgo as being our sense of running away, or escaping situations. Fleeing from different things, new experiences and difficult conversations. Fleeing help and fleeing being helped.
 
“We hear this all the time: that we should focus on being more self aware. Well, we need a bit of the idea of separateness that the Ego can provide to know how truly self aware we are becoming.” – Jason Goldberg
 
These two notions of the Ego are important to consider. To turn a FLEEgo into a FREEgo, firstly you need to be aware of both of them, observing yourself, and noticing what situations they appear in. Only by acknowledging your Ego, you will start making it your amigo. Instead of being pushed away by it, use it to pull you back to center.
