    Interstellar Pt. 2: Are Emotions More Important Than Logic?

    Join Brian and Drew this week as we once again return to a WonderTour favorite, Interstellar.  In this episode we talk through the importance of emotions to drive us to accomplish difficult missions, how to overcome seemingly intractable forces, and how to lead like Cooper as opposed to Dr. Mann.
    This week's practical application is a story about Zillow which teaches us how humans can intelligently implement AI to drive decision-making.

    Episode 100 Pt. 3: How to Break Limits and Unleash Flourishing into the World

    Episode 100 Pt. 3: How to Break Limits and Unleash Flourishing into the World

    Do you ever feel discouraged from running up against the same problems in the world over and over again with seeing much success in finding a solution?  We see our favorite movie characters overcoming immense challenges to leave a lasting impact on the world, and yet, its easy to believe that only happens in the movies.  If you are feeling inspired to break through systematic constraints to unlock a new state of flourishing in the world, then it might be time for a Limit-Break!
    In other words, how might we break through from our current state of dissatisfaction to a new state of freedom and flourishing, and in doing so multiply love, wisdom, integrity, compassion, etc. in the world around us?

    Episode 100 Pt. 2: How to Flip the Script and Break Through Constraints

    Episode 100 Pt. 2: How to Flip the Script and Break Through Constraints

    We all run up against what feel like impossible to break through constraints; systems that we live in or work in that stir up dissatisfaction or are downright oppressive.  We generally hear people say things like, "this will never change".  As Wonderers, we believe that these constraints can indeed be broken and that we can take actions towards that end.  In all of our favorite stories, from Avengers to Beauty and the Beast to Fast and Furious, we see examples of leaders creating expectation subverting moments, and in doing so, introducing a transformative change to the mindsets and systems around them.
    Join Brian and Drew this week to ponder and learn.
    What is a Script Flip and why should I learn how to do it?How do I know if a situation even calls for a Script Flip?How do I execute a successful Script Flip?
