What if the most profound regret we carry isn’t about what we did, but about the quiet ways we slowly drifted from the people we love most? In this heartfelt solo episode of Passion Struck, Episode 705, John R. Miles explores why the greatest gift we can give those who matter most isn’t more time, more gifts, or even more love, but simple, undivided presence. Drawing from personal holiday memories and the psychology of “relational mattering,” John reveals how relationships rarely break from conflict; they thin from absence disguised as normal life. He unpacks the quiet cost of diluted attention, the profound beauty of what becomes possible when presence returns, and why showing up fully may be the most important decision we ever make. If you’ve ever felt the subtle distance growing in a relationship you cherish, or wondered how to rebuild the felt sense of mattering during this holiday season, this episode is your gentle wake-up call. You’re not out of chances. You’re one intentional arrival away. Listen. Feel. Become present.

What if the most significant leadership challenge of our time isn’t strategy, speed, or scale but our shrinking capacity to care for one another? In an era of deepening polarization and quiet loneliness, this special episode of Passion Struck confronts the root of division: our brain's ancient "us vs. them" wiring that once ensured tribal survival but now fragments society. Host John R. Miles joins Harvard cognitive scientist Joshua Greene (author of Moral Tribes) and psychologist Rick Hanson (New York Times bestselling author and founder of the Global Compassion Coalition) to explore how evolutionary moral instincts fuel exclusion and how neuroscience and compassion practices can rewire them toward broader belonging. Blending rigorous science with profound wisdom, the conversation explores how to expand the "moral circle" from narrow identities to shared global humanity, cultivate moral courage without erasing differences, and turn insight into action. A highlight: the tied-in Pods Fight Poverty initiative, uniting leading podcasters to support GiveDirectly's evidence-based cash transfers. These lift entire Rwandan villages out of extreme poverty with dignity-restoring direct aid (amplified by Giving Multiplier's matching funds). This episode does not just diagnose division. It offers a hopeful, actionable path to inclusion, proving small acts of expanded empathy ripple into real-world change. At a time when trust is eroding, this reminds us that true belonging is not zero-sum. It is the future we can choose. Go Deeper .

What if the leadership answers you’ve been searching for can’t be found in another keynote, framework, or performance review but only by stepping completely out of the world you know? In Episode 703 of Passion Struck , John R. Miles is joined by Oli Raison and Boris Maguire , founders of Safarini Leadership , for a conversation that challenges everything we think we know about growth, leadership, and belonging. At a time when we are more globally connected than ever—and yet more polarized, distracted, and disconnected—leaders are facing pressures no playbook prepared them for: AI acceleration, climate anxiety, generational fracture, burnout, and a deep erosion of trust. Oli and Boris believe the problem isn’t a lack of leadership training. It’s that we’re trying to become wiser leaders without changing the environments that shaped us. Their work takes executives out of boardrooms and into the Kenyan bush, immersed in nature, culture, and relationships, walking alongside Samburu elders to rediscover leadership as a lived, relational practice rather than a performative role.

In this powerful solo episode, Episode 702 of Passion Struck, John R. Miles closes the Season of Becoming by distilling the single most consistent lesson from hundreds of world-class performers, Navy SEALs, near-death survivors, and everyday courage-builders: Courage is not a trait you’re born with. It’s a vote you cast every single day. Drawing directly from four transformative conversations this season (Susan Grau, Anne Libera, Brent Gleeson, and Henna Pryor), John reveals the Four Daily Decisions of Courage that anyone can make starting today: The courage to Listen when life breaks you open The courage to Unscript and show up real The courage to Commit and stop negotiating with your potential The courage to Practice awkwardness on purpose If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting for confidence, clarity, or permission, this episode is your wake-up call.

What if the very thing you’ve been trying to hide, your awkwardness, was actually the key to deeper connection, stronger leadership, and unbreakable confidence? In Episode 701 of Passion Struck, workplace performance expert and bestselling author Henna Pryor joins John R. Miles to unpack her groundbreaking book Good Awkward and expose the hidden crisis she calls Social Muscle Atrophy, the slow erosion of our ability to handle normal human interaction in a world gone hybrid and hyper-polished. Henna drops the stat that stops everyone cold: 30 % of employees would rather clean a toilet than ask a coworker for help. The cost? Billions in lost innovation, fractured trust, and a growing “mattering gap” at work. But the fix isn’t more communication training. It’s learning to get good at being awkward on purpose. If you’ve ever stayed silent when you wanted to speak up, rehearsed a conversation 47 times and still didn’t have it, or felt like an imposter in your own life, this episode is your permission slip to stop polishing and start connecting.

There is a moment when you look at your life and realize something important. You have been waiting. You have been giving your energy away. You have been putting everyone else first. And somewhere along the line, you started disappearing from your own story. This solo episode is about that moment. The moment you choose yourself again. John R. Miles explores why so many of us learn to shrink to fit other people’s expectations, and what happens when you finally decide that your voice, your needs, and your well-being matter too. He breaks down the four core patterns that lead to self-abandonment and explains how a single shift can change your confidence, your relationships, your energy, and your future. When you choose yourself even once, your life begins to reorganize around that truth. If you have ever felt stuck or invisible, or like you have been living a version of your life that no longer feels like your own, this episode will help you take the next step back home to yourself.

What if becoming who you want to be has less to do with control and more to do with letting go? In this insightful episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles sits down with Anne Libera, longtime Second City director, educator, and author of Funnier: A New Theory for the Practice of Comedy . Together, they explore how improvisation offers a powerful model for personal growth, creativity, and identity transformation. Anne’s work blends comedy, psychology, and human behavior. Drawing from decades at The Second City working with performers such as Stephen Colbert, Amy Poehler, Tim Meadows, and Jordan Peele, she reveals that improv is not ultimately about being funny. It is about presence, awareness, emotional flexibility, and learning to respond to life as it actually is, rather than how you wish it would be. This episode continues our December series, The Season of Becoming. It explores who we are in the moments in between when one version of our life is fading, and another has not yet taken shape.

What if intuition isn’t mystical, but a form of deep perception we’ve forgotten how to trust? In this transformative episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles sits down with internationally respected intuitive and spiritual teacher Susan Grau, host of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom , to explore one of the most profound capacities of the human mind: our ability to sense truth, meaning, and connection far beneath the surface of ordinary awareness. Susan’s work blends lived experience, grief healing, and what she calls “soul-level perception” to help people rediscover inner guidance in a world overwhelmed by information, noise, and emotional overload. Through her near-death experience, profound empathic abilities, and decades of guiding others, Susan reveals how intuitive knowing emerges not from superstition but from biology, trauma healing, and our innate drive for meaning.

What if revenge is not a moral failure, but a biological addiction? In this gripping episode of Passion Struck, John R. Miles sits down with Yale psychiatrist James Kimmel Jr . , author of The Science of Revenge , to unravel one of the most dangerous and misunderstood forces shaping our lives, our politics, our relationships, and our inner worlds. This episode continues our acclaimed series The Irreplaceables, which explores the human qualities no machine can replicate. Yesterday’s episode with Don Martin explored loneliness, the crisis between us. Today, we explore revenge, the crisis within us. James explains why the pull toward retaliation can feel intoxicating, righteous, and impossible to resist. Through neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and Kimmel’s own harrowing personal story, we examine how grievance hijacks the brain, why revenge activates the same dopamine pathways as cocaine and gambling, and why forgiveness is not moral niceness but a neurobiological reset. If you have ever held a grudge, fantasized about getting even, or wondered why our culture feels increasingly reactive and enraged, this conversation is essential.

What if the future isn’t something that happens to us… but something we shape? In this future-defining episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with innovation thinker and bestselling author Scott D.

What if luck isn’t a matter of chance—but a hidden design you can learn to navigate? In this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles explores how some people seem to “always be in the right place at the right time” — not because they’re blessed by fate, but because they’ve learned to read the invisible rulebook of luck. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of bestselling author Amy Leigh Mercree and economist Judd Kessler, co-author of Lucky by Design , John unpacks how hidden systems, intuitive sensing, and strategic choices shape opportunities long before they appear. You’ll learn: How “luck” hides in invisible structures —and how to map them Why intuition is less woo-woo and more Wi-Fi, helping you detect signals others miss The power of “settling for silver” as a strategic advantage, not a compromise Practical tools to design your own luck through intentional moves Along the way, John shares a personal story of overcoming early adversity that shaped his ability to sense and design opportunities differently. Whether you’re navigating your career, relationships, or life’s next chapter, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding how luck works—and how to work with it.

John brings on Wharton economist Judd B. Kessler to unpack why outcomes that look like luck are usually the product of hidden market designs. Kessler explains the three E’s—equity, efficiency, and ease—and why designers must make those tradeoffs explicit. He shows how to win in choose-me markets (jobs, dating, college admissions) by signaling clearly and sometimes prioritizing early commitment (e.g., early decision). In high-scarcity races (restaurant reservations, tickets), he argues for “settling for silver”—acting on a strong second choice first—to beat the crowd. The conversation gets tactical: how to stand out when AI drafts cover letters, why human connection cuts through noise, how public-school lotteries and clearinghouses really work, and how to make household labor fair using envy-freeness and full-stack task ownership (Conception-Planning-Execution). Listeners leave with a repeatable loop: see the market, learn the rules, choose the strategy—and start designing luck on purpose.

What if doubt isn’t a weakness to overcome, but a gravitational force that pulls us toward meaning? In this powerful solo episode, John R. Miles kicks off the new Forces That Pull Us series by exploring doubt —an invisible psychological and cultural force that shapes our choices, our growth, and our sense of self. Drawing on insights from performance psychologist Michael Gervais , physician-researcher Brennan Spiegel , and business ethicist Bobby Parmar , John examines doubt from three angles: The Psychological Gravity — How doubt shows up internally, why FOPO (Fear of People’s Opinions) can paralyze us, and how elite performers learn to work with uncertainty rather than against it. The External Pull — How unseen technological and cultural forces shape what we notice and believe, based on Brennan Spiegel’s groundbreaking book Pull . Radical Doubt as a Skill — How Bobby Parmar’s framework transforms doubt from a source of anxiety into a disciplined tool for better decision-making. This episode offers practical tools for identifying, interrogating, and harnessing doubt in your own life—whether you’re making a major decision, leading a team, or confronting internal narratives that hold you back.

In this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Bidhan “Bobby” Parmar, Shannon G. Smith Bicentennial Professor of Business Administration at UVA’s Darden School and author of Radical Doubt: Turning Uncertainty into Surefire Success . Together, they unpack why doubt isn’t a weakness to overcome but a force to harness. Bobby explains how our brains rely on three systems—pursue, protect, and pause—and why learning to strengthen the “pause” system can transform how we make decisions in moments of uncertainty. They explore why information alone doesn’t change behavior, the dangers of being a “right-answer getter,” and how to become a “better-answer maker.” Through real-world examples ranging from career paralysis to leadership dilemmas, Bobby offers tools for using doubt as a catalyst for clarity, resilience, and smarter choices. Whether you’re leading a team, making big life decisions, or simply navigating the unknown, this conversation reframes doubt as the superpower you’ve been overlooking.

Gravity is everywhere—yet we rarely think about its impact on our health. In this episode, Dr. Brennan Spiegel, UCLA Professor and author of the groundbreaking new book Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health , joins John R. Miles to reframe gravity not just as a force of physics, but as a hidden variable in human health and resilience. They explore how posture, balance, grip strength, and heart rate variability reveal your “gravity relationship,” why serotonin is really a “gravity management substance,” and how gut health, mood, and even mental states like anxiety and depression are shaped by gravitational forces. Spiegel introduces concepts like “gravity intolerance,” “graviception,” and “gravi types,” showing how simple practices, from standing desks and rucking to inverted yoga, can help you find your personal Goldilocks zone for optimal health. This conversation will change how you think about your body, your mind, and the invisible forces pulling on both. Click here for the full shownotes!

What is the story you’re telling yourself right now? It may not feel like it, but every single one of us is living inside a story. Psychologists call it a self-narrative — the ongoing script that explains who we are, how we got here, and where we’re headed next. These stories shape what we notice, what we ignore, and what we believe is possible. If your inner story says, “I’m not enough,” then every critique, silence, or setback feels like proof of inadequacy. But if your story says, “I am resilient, I am growing,” those same experiences become evidence of strength. The circumstances don’t change. The story does. In this final episode of my Decoding Humanity series, we’re looking at the power of story: why it matters, how it’s formed, and how you can begin to rewrite it using the S.T.O.R.Y. framework.

Life has a way of testing us in ways we never imagined. For some, those tests are inconveniences or temporary setbacks. For others, like Sandy Yozipovic, there are battles that most of us could not even fathom. Imagine one day waking up paralyzed from Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system. And then, years later, you are told you have Stage 4 cancer, and the prognosis is grim. Most people would crumble under the weight of such a diagnosis. Sandy faced both. Yet, instead of surrendering, she chose to stack the odds in her favor and build a life of faith, resilience, and healing. Her story, which she shared with me on the Passion Struck podcast, isn’t just about survival. It’s about how to live intentionally when life delivers its harshest blows. It’s about finding strength in the unseen, turning fear into faith, and proving what it looks like to truly overcome impossible odds. Sandy is co-founder and President of Fullness of Life Foundation –a nonprofit that provides public information, education, and awareness regarding the use of advanced, integrative medicine in the prevention and treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases. Their “Give Them Wings” program helps with the financial barriers that families face by sponsoring the treatment for children with life-threatening cancer or other diseases. Her healing journey led her to the Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she experienced firsthand the power of integrative and personalized medicine. Click here for the full shownotes!

What does it really take to start over — to walk away from something you’ve built and chase something entirely new? In this inspiring conversation, John R. Miles sits down with Joel Beasley , technologist, entrepreneur, and host of Modern CTO , one of the most respected podcasts for technology leaders worldwide. But this episode isn’t about scaling tech companies, it’s about scaling yourself. Joel opens up about the mindset shifts that took him from self-taught coder to globally respected podcast host, and now, into a completely new arc: pursuing his dream of becoming a stand-up comedian. Together, John and Joel unpack what it means to create meaning beyond metrics, why relationships are the true currency of leadership, and how to turn fear and failure into fuel for growth.

Most of us spend much of our lives trying to fit in, smoothing our edges, editing our quirks, and becoming who the world wants us to be. But fitting in isn’t the same as belonging. Belonging is about coming home to yourself and then building spaces where others can do the same. It’s about creating deep connection and living a life that feels both meaningful and aligned. In episode 669 of Passion Struck, John tackles the question of how to build belonging using a simple, yet powerful framework he developed called BELONG — six choices that help you reclaim your identity, stop performing for approval, and create a life of purpose.

In this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles is joined by Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of Me, But Better , for a transformative conversation about the science and promise of personality change. For much of the 20th century, psychologists assumed that our personalities were largely fixed by adulthood — that who we are at 30 is who we’ll be for life. But Olga’s work brings together groundbreaking research proving that personality traits can, in fact, be intentionally shaped.

Miles sits down with psychologist and author William von Hippel to unpack the central theme of his latest book, The Social Paradox: Autonomy, Connection, and Why We Need Both to Find Happiness . Together, they explore how modern life has tilted heavily toward autonomy—careers, smartphones, and endless options—often at the expense of deep connection and belonging. Drawing on research with the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania, von Hippel explains why our ancestors’ lives, though materially sparse, were rich in connection and happiness—and why our overemphasis on independence leaves many feeling lonely and invisible.

In this episode, Dr. Nicole Cain—naturopathic doctor, clinical psychologist, and author of Panic Proof —shows how to design a personalized Panic-Proof plan that addresses anxiety at its source. We unpack the nine anxiety types and why labeling everything as “panic” misses the root drivers. She lays out a practical blueprint: nervous-system regulation (breath, cold exposure, somatic mapping, paced recovery), gut–brain repair (nutrition, psychobiotics, inflammation reduction), targeted lifestyle shifts (sleep, light, movement), and trauma-informed tools (values-based exposures, parts work, micro-habits). You’ll learn how to sequence change over 90 days, match interventions to your anxiety type, and measure progress without perfectionism. Whether you’re navigating panic attacks or low-grade dread, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate path from symptom management to lasting nervous-system safety—and a plan you can actually follow.

In episode 661 of Passion Struck, trauma psychologist Dr. Ingrid Clayton explains why so many high-achievers, caregivers, and leaders default to “keep the peace at any cost,” and how that pattern quietly erodes identity, boundaries, and well-being. We unpack how complex/relational trauma encodes “safety over self,” why talk-only approaches often stall, and the practical sequence for unfawning: notice → name → normalize → lower the bar → practice tiny boundary reps. Ingrid shares bottom-up tools for down-shifting physiological threat (breath, orienting, somatic tracking), scripts for gentler boundaries that don’t spike panic, and ways to rebuild self-trust after years of self-abandonment—at home, at work, and in leadership. If you’ve ever over-functioned at the office, shape-shifted in relationships, or felt invisible while doing “everything right,” this conversation gives you language for what’s been happening and a roadmap out of it.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Caroline Fleck—clinical psychologist, researcher, and author of Validation —explores why so many of us struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout, not because we’re broken, but because our need for validation has gone unmet. She explains how validation is more than comfort—it’s proof that we matter. Drawing on her clinical work and scientific research, Dr. Fleck demonstrates why validation is the foundation of resilience, connection, and well-being, and how learning to validate ourselves and others can bridge the gap between feeling invisible and living with purpose.

Most people think of flow the way psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi described it — being “in the zone” during peak performance. But in this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles redefines flow as something much deeper: the coherence of living one life instead of many fractured selves. Drawing on conversations with Dr. Jodi Blinco and Jay Vidyarthi, John explores the Fragmentation Gap — the hidden divide between the roles we perform (at work, at home, online, and in private) and the integrated life we long to live. Jodi reveals what it feels like to appear whole on the outside while unraveling on the inside, and Jay shows how our digital world slices our attention into pieces, leaving us scattered and spiritually depleted. Through powerful stories and a four-step framework — Notice, Name, Nurture, Navigate — this episode explores how to close the Fragmentation Gap, reclaim your attention, and integrate your values, roles, and identity into a cohesive, authentic whole. Because the opposite of fragmentation isn’t productivity. The opposite of fragmentation is wholeness . And that’s the flow that truly sustains us. Visit the Link for the Full Show Notes. Drawing on personal stories, expert interviews, and real-world insights, John explores the science behind why work is quietly making us sick—and invites listeners to realign with what their body and mind truly need.

Miles sits down with Michelle Chalfant—renowned therapist, author, and creator of The Adult Chair model—to explore one of the most transformational frameworks for emotional and relational healing.

In this compelling episode of Passion Struck , John R.

Taylor Swift is one of the most famous people on the planet—but that’s not what makes her powerful. What makes her powerful is presence. In an era of curated lives and performative connection, Swift has done something rare: she’s made people feel seen. Not just heard, not just entertained—seen. And in today’s world, that’s a kind of emotional leadership we desperately need. This episode of The Connected Life breaks down how Swift models what I call the art of mattering —a way of showing up that goes beyond charisma or fame. It’s about congruence. Alignment. Making people feel like they matter, not as a tactic, but as a way of life. We often think connection is external—about how we express, persuade, or lead. But in this episode, John flips that lens inward to explore how emotional self-awareness, authenticity, and mattering shape every relationship we build—starting with ourselves.

In this powerful solo episode, John R. Miles explores a skill that could radically change how you experience adversity, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm— reframing. But not the kind tied to false positivity or denial. Instead, John unveils the LENS Method , a practical, neuroscience-backed framework for transforming the story you tell yourself—so you can move from survival to self-mastery. Drawing from research by Dr. Daniel Siegel, Carol Dweck, Martin Seligman, and others, this episode unpacks why reframing isn’t spin—it’s strategy. Through storytelling, psychology, and personal insight, John shows how to use the four LENS steps to reduce emotional reactivity, activate resilience, and reconnect with the values that define your best self.

Join the new free Passion Struck Community to win Passion Struck merchandise! - The Ignition Room: https://station.page/passionstruck Key Takeaways: Reframing is not about denial—it’s about redefining the story. Cognitive reappraisal can regulate the brain’s threat response. Neuroplasticity means your brain can be trained to think differently. Learned optimism and growth mindset are skills, not traits. The LENS Method (Label, Examine, Name, Step) provides a practical path forward. When you shift your story, you shift your life.

When life feels uncertain, we don’t need more control—we need anchors. In this deeply personal and practical solo episode, Passion Struck host John R. Miles shares five transformative mental health habits that helped him reclaim stability during one of the most turbulent seasons of his life. From the invisible costs of burnout to the neuroscience of belonging and emotional regulation, John walks you through how to rebuild trust with yourself, reconnect with others, and create meaning in the middle of the unknown. Drawing on behavioral science, leadership insight, and lived experience, this episode offers a powerful toolkit for anyone navigating emotional overwhelm, career transition, or identity drift. Click here for full shownotes: https://passionstruck.com/mental-health-habits-help-you-in-uncertain-times/ Join the new Passion Struck Community, The Ignition Room : https://station.page/passionstruck This episode is part of Passion Struck’s Mental Health Awareness Month series, setting the tone for upcoming episodes on emotional resilience, internal reframing, and intentional habits for psychological well-being. Key Takeaways: Internal credibility is the foundation of self-trust. Keeping small promises to yourself rebuilds emotional stability during chaotic times. Belonging rituals protect mental health. Consistent, meaningful connection regulates your nervous system and reminds you that you matter. A sense of purpose interrupts emotional drift. Even a small, value-driven “why” can realign your actions and give you direction when life feels unclear. Emotional margin is non-negotiable. Recovery isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement for resilience. Micro-wins create momentum. Tiny, value-aligned actions signal progress to your brain and reinforce your capacity to move forward—even in the unknown.

In this solo episode, John R. Miles explores how mental health isn’t just about managing stress—it’s the invisible infrastructure of everything that gives life meaning. From personal breakdowns to societal myths about strength, John shares why ignoring mental well-being doesn’t delay the cost—it multiplies it—and what we can do to reclaim emotional sustainability. Join the new Passion Struck Community, The Ignition Room : https://station.page/passionstruck This episode is part of Passion Struck’s Mental Health Awareness Month series, setting the tone for upcoming episodes on emotional resilience, internal reframing, and intentional habits for psychological well-being. Key Takeaways: Mental health is not a side conversation—it’s the foundation of purpose, clarity, and connection. Emotional erosion happens slowly and quietly, not all at once. We’ve internalized the belief that needing help means failure—but in reality, it reflects emotional intelligence. Disconnection begins when we stop believing we matter. Productivity without presence leads to quiet burnout. You don’t need to hit a breaking point to start tending to your mind.

What if the most important thing you could do in moments of confusion, fear, or identity crisis… was to pause and sit with the question, rather than race toward an answer? In a world that values certainty, performance, and instant solutions, Elizabeth Weingarten is offering something rare: a permission slip to not know. On this episode of the Passion Struck podcast, John R. Miles speaks with Elizabeth about her book, How to Fall in Love with Questions: A New Way to Thrive in Times of Uncertainty , and the profound shift that happens when we stop treating life’s hardest questions like problems to fix — and start treating them like partners in our growth. Click here for the full show notes: Join the Ignition Room! Join the new Passion Struck Community! - The Ignition Room: https://station.page/passionstruck Key Takeaways: Uncertainty Isn’t a Problem—It’s a Portal - Life’s hardest questions aren’t meant to be solved immediately. They’re invitations to grow, reflect, and connect with your truest self over time. Our Obsession With Certainty Can Be Harmful - Fast, tidy answers—especially from influencers or institutions—often suppress deeper truths and can lead us further from what we truly need. Questions Hold the Key to Meaningful Change - Embracing open-ended inquiry helps us better navigate identity shifts, career transitions, moral dilemmas, and emotional upheaval. Living in the Question Requires Emotional Stamina - Sitting with not-knowing is psychologically demanding but ultimately expansive. It asks for patience, vulnerability, and a tolerance for ambiguity. Behavioral Science Supports the Power of Inquiry - Research shows that reflective questioning enhances decision-making, strengthens relationships, and deepens personal resilience. You Don’t Need to Be an Expert to Explore Your Life - “Question literacy” is a skill we can all build. The most important answers often emerge not from authority, but from curiosity and self-trust.

In this powerful episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles sits down with Olympic silver medalist and skateboarding legend Tom Schaar , the first person in history to land a 1080—a mind-blowing three full spins mid-air. But Tom’s story isn’t just about defying gravity. It’s about defying doubt, embracing failure, and staying grounded while the world spins around you. At just 12 years old, Tom did what no one had ever done in skateboarding. But what most people didn’t see were the 999 failed attempts it took to get there. In this intimate and inspiring conversation, Tom opens up about the mental discipline behind his success, how he handles fear, the evolution of his mindset from prodigy to pro, and what keeps him pushing limits even after Olympic podiums. Whether you’re an athlete, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to overcome a personal hurdle—this conversation is for you.

What if the key to unlocking your next big career move isn’t just mentorship—but sponsorship? In this episode of Passion Struck , host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Rosalind Chow , a leading organizational behavior expert at Carnegie Mellon and author of The Doors You Can Open . Together, they unpack the transformative power of sponsorship —where people in positions of power actively advocate, endorse, and open doors for others in ways that mentorship alone cannot.

In Episode 601 of the Passion Struck podcast, host John R. Miles sits down with renowned Tibetan Buddhist meditation master, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends. Known for his radiant smile, open heart, and profound clarity, Rinpoche shares a perspective on emotional healing and inner peace that turns conventional thinking upside down. Rather than offering a roadmap to “fix yourself,” Rinpoche invites us to explore the idea that we already possess what we need. Drawing from his early life struggles with severe panic attacks, he shares how fear became his greatest teacher—an unlikely but powerful path to awakening. Click here for the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/yongey-mingyur-rinpoche-why-the-path-is-with-you/ Join the Ignition Room! Join the new Passion Struck Community! - The Ignition Room: https://station.page/passionstruck The conversation explores core themes like: Why pain isn’t the enemy, but a guide The illusion of needing to "earn" mattering or self-worth How awareness and compassion are not destinations—but your natural state The power of micro-moments to create deep transformation How to move from “I matter” to “we matter” in a fractured world As Rinpoche explains, “Awareness doesn’t mean we get rid of thoughts or pain. It means we learn to hold them with kindness.” It’s a radical reframe—one that reminds us healing is not about becoming someone else, but about coming home to who we’ve always been.

We tend to think of serendipity as something that just happens —a lucky break, a happy coincidence, a moment of chance. But what if it’s something deeper? In episode 600 of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles explores a powerful idea: serendipity becomes mattering the moment someone feels seen without expectation. It’s not just about luck. It’s about recognition—and how those unexpected, seemingly small moments can change the air we’re breathing. Join the new Passion Struck Community! - The Ignition Room: https://station.page/passionstruck This episode asks the question: why do we remember certain moments that, on the surface, didn’t seem important? A text. A comment. A passing compliment. These interactions often stick with us not because of their content—but because of what they reflect back: you’re still visible. You still register in someone’s world. Key Takeaways: Serendipity is not luck—it’s a mirror of what we notice and act on. Moments of unexpected recognition can have biological and emotional impact. You don’t chase serendipity—you live in a way that invites it. Preparedness and presence are the mindset tools that turn randomness into resonance. The smallest messages, when well-timed, can become turning points. Feeling seen without expectation is one of the deepest human needs. Serendipity becomes mattering when it reflects back our worth.

Imagine that your thoughts, cravings—even your emotions—aren’t entirely your own. That they’re being driven by trillions of microscopic organisms living inside you. It sounds like science fiction, but in Episode 599 of Passion Struck, Dr. Steven Gundry explains why this is scientific fact. Dr. Gundry, a former cardiothoracic surgeon turned gut health expert, joined me to discuss his new book The Gut-Brain Paradox and the profound connection between your digestive system and your mental state. As he puts it, "We are passengers on a bus driven by our microbiome—and they’ve been at the wheel a lot longer than we have." For full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/dr-steven-gundry-radically-heal-your-microbiome/ Key Takeaways: Your Gut Runs the Show : Dr. Gundry explains how trillions of bacteria in your gut send messages that shape your thoughts, cravings, and emotional states. Leaky Gut Is Everywhere : If you’re battling fatigue, autoimmune disease, or mental fog, there’s a high chance you have a leaky gut—and it's reversible. Food as Medicine : Changing what you eat, including eliminating certain lectins and processed foods, can reverse chronic conditions like Parkinson’s, anxiety, and more. Microbes vs. Free Will : The bacteria in your gut may be influencing your decisions more than your conscious mind. Beyond SSRIs : Many antidepressants work by altering the microbiome, not just serotonin levels—a strong argument for gut-first mental health care.

In Episode 597 of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Gordon Flett, a pioneering psychologist whose decades of research have shaped our understanding of mattering —the feeling of being seen, valued, and significant. Dr. Flett, author of The Psychology of Mattering and Mattering as a Core Need in Children and Adolescents , explains how mattering is distinct from belonging and self-esteem and why its absence—what he calls “anti-mattering”—can lead to burnout, depression, loneliness, and even hopelessness. For full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/gordon-flett-the-urgent-need-to-know-you-matter/ In this profound and deeply personal episode, John and Dr. Flett discuss: The difference between mattering, belonging, and self-esteem Why feeling unseen or insignificant is a public health issue How fear of not mattering drives perfectionism and overachievement Why giving mattering to others is just as important as receiving it Strategies to rebuild mattering after loss, failure, or transition This conversation will change how you see yourself—and how you show up for the people around you. Dr. Gordon Flett is one of the world’s leading researchers on the psychology of mattering.

In Episode 596 of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Emily Falk , a leading neuroscientist and expert in the science of behavior change. Falk is the Vice Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and the author of the Next Big Idea Club Must-Read book What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change . This powerful conversation explores how our brains weigh choices, how our values shape behavior—often unconsciously—and what it takes to truly live in alignment with who we want to become. From decoding the “value calculator” in our brain to understanding how identity, connection, and purpose influence decision-making, Falk offers deeply practical insights on how to shift your behavior and build a better life. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/emily-falk-rewire-your-brain-for-better-choices/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How your brain calculates value—and why that system often favors short-term rewards Why your future self can feel like a stranger, and how to build empathy toward them How self-transcendent values like compassion and purpose reshape behavior What brain synchrony is and how we build it in conversation, relationships, and society The psychological toll of “not mattering”—and how to fix it Tools to overcome defensiveness and embrace growth, including values affirmation How seemingly small changes—like biking to visit a loved one—can reshape identity Why connection, not control, is the key to lasting behavior change Connect with Dr. Emily Falk: https://www.asc.upenn.edu/research/centers/communication-neuroscience-lab Sponsors: Factor Meals: http://factormeals.com/factormeals50off and use code “FACTOR MEALS 50 OFF” Rosetta Stone: Unlock 25 languages for life at “ROSETTASTONE.com/passionstruck.” Prolon: Reset your health with 15% off at “ProlonLife.com/passionstruck.” Mint Mobile: Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at “MINT MOBILE dot com slash PASSION.” Hims: Start your journey to regrowing hair with Hims.

What if the greatest disruption in business isn’t AI—it's a crisis of human connection?

What if the secret to lasting transformation isn’t bold, sweeping moves—but quiet, intentional actions? In this thought-provoking episode, John R. Miles interviews Stanford University psychologist Dr. Gregory Walton, whose groundbreaking research has reshaped how we understand belonging, mindset, and behavior change. Walton’s new book, Ordinary Magic , reveals how small, psychologically wise interventions can catalyze extraordinary change in schools, relationships, and society. Greg shares the personal stories that inspired his research—from traveling through global poverty as a teen to being falsely arrested as an adult. These formative experiences drive his mission: to help people feel seen, valued, and capable of growth. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/gregory-walton-big-changes-start-with-small-acts/ Key Takeaways: Small acts can spark exponential impact Belonging isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational Everyone needs one person who believes in them irrationally Empathy and psychological safety create the conditions for growth Belief, when grounded in unconditional regard, can rewrite someone’s story Helping without humility can do more harm than good Start with trust—and build from there Connect with Dr. Gregory Walton: https://psychology.stanford.edu/people/greg-walton Sponsors: Factor Meals: http://factormeals.com/factormeals50off and use code “FACTOR MEALS 50 OFF” Rosetta Stone: Unlock 25 languages for life at “ROSETTASTONE.com/passionstruck.” Prolon: Reset your health with 15% off at “ProlonLife.com/passionstruck.” Mint Mobile: Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at “MINT MOBILE dot com slash PASSION.” Hims: Start your journey to regrowing hair with Hims.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Kurt Gray, professor of psychology and author of the new book Outraged , joins John R. Miles to explore why we live in such a morally charged world—and what we can do to repair it. Together, they unpack the psychology behind outrage, the evolutionary roots of our moral minds, and why our perceptions of harm often drive us apart. Kurt shares powerful stories and groundbreaking research to help us understand competitive victimhood, moral typecasting, and the dangers of social media-fueled moral panics. They also dive into practical strategies—like intentional listening, empathy, and storytelling—for bridging divides in families, communities, and politics. Whether you're trying to heal a relationship or navigate the culture wars, this episode is a must-listen. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/kurt-gray-on-how-to-bridge-moral-divides/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Harm Is the Master Key: Our moral minds evolved to detect and respond to harm—especially within our groups. This evolutionary lens explains much of today's outrage. Social Media Fuels Moral Panics: Platforms are wired to pair threats with virality, causing us to spiral into outrage and reactivity. Moral Typecasting Limits Empathy: We label people as either victims or villains, which prevents us from seeing their full humanity. Outrage Is Often Rooted in Unseen Pain: People’s perceptions of harm are deeply personal, shaped by past trauma, loss, or unacknowledged suffering. Mattering Matters: Feeling unseen or dismissed heightens moral conflict. Recognizing someone’s pain helps defuse moral tension.

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Donald Miller, bestselling author and founder of StoryBrand, to explore the transformational power of storytelling. They discuss the release of Building a StoryBrand 2.0 and how leaders can use narrative frameworks to connect, inspire, and drive action. Donald reveals how storytelling applies not just in marketing, but in family, community, and self-leadership. Together, they dive into Donald’s personal practices—like writing a eulogy, crafting a family mission, and fighting loneliness through intentional community. This episode goes beyond business advice—it's about reclaiming your story to live a more intentional and impactful life. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/donald-miller-how-making-people-care-about-you/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Storytelling is the most powerful tool we have to hold attention and drive action. A personal narrative gives clarity to your life’s purpose—and helps you say “no” to what doesn’t align. Loneliness is spiritual starvation—intentional community is the cure. Every great story includes opposition, a mission, a plan, and transformation. Tools like storybrand.ai can help translate your passion into practical impact. Writing your own eulogy helps keep your daily decisions aligned with your life’s end goal. You don’t have to find a perfect community—create one that reflects your values and passions.

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Anne-Marie Anderson, an accomplished broadcaster and author of " Cultivating Audacity ." They discuss the importance of audacity in personal and professional growth, the role of preparation, and how to build a supportive "front row" of trusted individuals in your life. Anne-Marie shares her journey in sports broadcasting, the challenges she faced, and how she navigated her career with boldness and resilience. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/anne-marie-anderson-build-your-front-row/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Understanding Your Inner Critic: Anne-Marie emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing your inner critic, which often undermines confidence and decision-making. Cultivating Audacity: Audacity is defined as the willingness to take bold risks. It is not an inherent trait but something that can be cultivated through practice and intentionality. The Importance of Preparation: Preparation is crucial for success. Anne-Marie shares her experiences in broadcasting, highlighting that thorough preparation leads to confidence and better performance. Building Your Front Row: Your "front row" consists of the people who support, challenge, and uplift you. It's essential to surround yourself with individuals who contribute positively to your journey.

In this episode of Passion Struck, John welcomes Nir Eyal, a behavioral designer and author known for his insights into human behavior and technology's impact on our lives. Eyal shares his journey into understanding distraction, rooted in his childhood experiences with obesity and emotional eating. He emphasizes that the real challenge today is not the abundance of information but the ability to focus our attention and turn that information into wisdom. Eyal discusses the concept of becoming " indistractable ," highlighting that most distractions stem from internal triggers—emotional states like boredom, loneliness, and anxiety—rather than external ones. He argues that understanding these internal triggers is crucial for managing our attention and breaking free from distractions. Full Shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/ nir-eyal -how-to-win-back-your-time-and-attention/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Mastering Internal Triggers : Recognizing the emotional discomfort that leads to distraction is essential for regaining control over our time and attention. The Importance of Curiosity-Driven Learning : Eyal advocates for teaching children to be autodidacts, emphasizing the need for skills that will remain relevant in an ever-changing world. Turning Values into Time : Eyal explains that to align our lives with our values, we must intentionally allocate time for activities that reflect who we want to become, rather than allowing distractions to dictate our schedules. Creating Healthy Relationships with Technology : Eyal suggests that parents can help their children manage technology use by modeling indistractable behavior themselves and providing opportunities for free play and social interaction. Reimagining Boredom and Negativity Bias : Eyal encourages listeners to embrace boredom as a catalyst for personal growth and to be aware of the negativity bias that can lead to compulsive media consumption.

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Dr. Laurie Santos, a renowned psychologist and professor at Yale University, to discuss the importance of mattering in our increasingly busy and disconnected world. Dr. Santos shares insights from her popular Yale course, "Psychology and the Good Life," and her podcast, "The Happiness Lab," exploring how social connections, intrinsic motivation, and the act of helping others can enhance our sense of belonging and overall happiness. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/laurie-santos-on-how-to-matter-in-a-busy-world/ Key takeaways: The Importance of Mattering : Mattering is crucial for our psychological well-being. It involves feeling valued and connected to others, which is essential for happiness. Cultural Pressures : Many students today, especially in high-pressure environments like Ivy League schools, are focused on individual achievements, leading to feelings of disconnection and anxiety. Social Connection : Happy people tend to have strong social ties. Engaging with others and helping them can significantly boost our own happiness. Technology's Role : While technology can connect us, it can also lead to disconnection. The convenience of digital communication often lacks the depth of face-to-face interactions. The Work of Happiness : Achieving happiness requires effort and intentionality. Simple acts of kindness and social engagement can enhance our sense of mattering.

In episode 582 of the Passion Struck podcast, host John R. Miles explores the often overlooked yet crucial role that small, intentional actions and moments of presence play in maintaining strong family connections. These seemingly insignificant moments are the glue that holds families together, ensuring that each member feels seen, heard, and valued. John dives into the subtle actions and decisions that can either bring family members closer together or gradually create distance. Full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/mattering-in-families-fuels-belonging-and-love/ Key takeaways: Family mattering is essential — it’s not just about love but about feeling seen, valued, and irreplaceable within the family unit. A lack of mattering creates a hidden crisis — when family members feel invisible or unimportant, emotional distance and resentment can quietly build. Small actions have a big impact — simple, consistent gestures like listening attentively, acknowledging feelings, and offering support reinforce family bonds. Attachment styles influence family dynamics — secure attachment fosters connection, while anxious or avoidant patterns can erode the sense of mattering. Mattering is a daily practice — families grow stronger when they intentionally show each other they care, not through grand gestures but through everyday moments. Repair starts with awareness — recognizing when someone feels they don’t matter is the first step to healing and building a more connected, loving family. Want to take this conversation further?

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles sits down with Dr. Sam Wilkinson to explore the profound impact of human connection on our sense of meaning and purpose. Dr. Wilkinson discusses the detrimental effects of our society's increasing disconnection from real human interaction and the overemphasis on individualism that has paradoxically led to more suffering. This conversation delves into Dr. Wilkinson's personal background, particularly the pivotal role his religious upbringing and mission work have played in shaping his career and approach to his work at Yale. Tune in to uncover valuable insights on how intentionality and in-person interactions can help you become the best version of yourself. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/samuel-wilkinson-life-is-a-test-of-good-and-evil/ Key takeaways: Evidence suggests that evolution is not purely random; patterns in nature indicate guiding principles that shape development. The crisis of meaning is exacerbated by technology, which has led to atomization and disconnection from face-to-face interactions. Affective forecasting shows that people often misjudge what will bring them happiness; strong relationships are key to lasting fulfillment. Family relationships are emphasized as a source of meaning and purpose in life. Micro choices and daily decisions significantly impact long-term happiness and character development. The role of marriage is highlighted as a cultural mechanism to strengthen bonds between fathers and their biological children.

What if love doesn’t feel uncertain because of the person you’re with—but because you haven’t fully chosen yourself? Many people settle for relationships that leave them questioning their worth. This episode explores The Mattering Mindset in Love —the difference between being chosen out of love versus convenience, why self-worth determines the love we accept, and how to cultivate relationships that foster security and emotional fulfillment. This conversation will shift everything if you’ve ever wondered why love feels like a guessing game. Download the Leave Behind in the full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/the-mattering-mindset-in-love/ Key takeaways: Love isn’t about being chosen occasionally—it’s about being valued consistently. If you have to convince someone of your worth, they are not your person. The Mattering Mindset in Love requires mutual investment, not one-sided effort. True commitment isn’t about exclusivity alone—it’s about daily actions that reinforce security and trust. If clarity scares someone away, they were never fully invested. The right partner welcomes conversations about commitment because they value you. Settling happens when you mistake trust and familiarity for real emotional security. Speak with your feet—your actions should align with your worth, not just your desires. A great relationship makes you feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are. If you wouldn’t tolerate a certain level of effort from a friend, why accept it in a relationship? Want to take this conversation further?

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes Edward Fishman, a former top State Department sanctions official and author of the groundbreaking book Choke Points: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare . The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of global power dynamics, where economic tools such as sanctions, export controls, and financial dominance have become the primary instruments of statecraft in the 21st century. Fishman explains the concept of "choke points," which refers to critical areas in the global economy where one country holds significant leverage, allowing it to exert influence without military intervention. He discusses how the U.S. has pioneered the use of economic warfare, particularly in response to the rise of authoritarian regimes in Russia and China, and the implications of this shift for international relations. The episode explores the historical context of economic warfare, the ethical dilemmas faced by policymakers, and the potential consequences of overusing economic power. Fishman emphasizes the importance of understanding these dynamics as nations navigate a fractured global economy, where the competition for resources and influence is increasingly defined by economic rather than military means. Full shownotes here: https://passionstruck.com/edward-fishman-on-the-new-age-of-power-dynamics/ Key takeaways: Factors contributing to the rise of economic warfare include: The hyper-globalization of the 1990s leading to economic interdependence. Political shifts post-9/11 that made military action less appealing. The resurgence of great power competition, particularly with Russia and China. The implications of sanctions and economic tools, emphasizing their dual nature as both offensive and defensive strategies. The ethical dilemmas associated with economic warfare, particularly the humanitarian impact on civilian populations. The potential for a fractured global economy, with nations becoming isolated economic deserts due to competing economic blocks. The importance of maintaining economic security and the risks of over-reliance on economic sanctions are emphasized. The dangers of a chaotic global economy where only great powers set the terms, potentially leading to military conflicts.

What if the missing piece in your love life isn’t about finding the right person—but about how you see yourself? In this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles explores the concept of mattering in love —why the way you perceive your own worth directly impacts the relationships you attract and accept. Too many people stay in relationships that leave them feeling unseen, undervalued, and emotionally drained—not because they don’t want love, but because they don’t believe they truly matter. Download the Leave Behind in the full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/mattering-in-love/ John breaks down: ✅ How your self-worth dictates your relationship choices ✅ The danger of chasing validation instead of genuine connection ✅ Why so many people mistake attachment for love ✅ How to stop settling and start building relationships where you feel chosen, valued, and seen If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn someone’s affection, if you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, or if love has felt more like a struggle than a source of joy, this episode will change your perspective. 💡 Mattering in love starts with you—and when you believe you matter, the way you experience love will never be the same. Tune in now and start making the shift toward love that truly fulfills you. Next Episode Preview: Next week, I’m sitting down Edward Fishman, author of choke points, waging economic war in the 21st century. We're diving into the hidden power of global supply chains, how economic warfare is shaping the world, and why controlling choke points, those critical bottlenecks, could be the most powerful weapon of our time, if you want to understand the real forces driving global conflict and competition.

Welcome back to Passion Struck! In today’s episode, we’re diving into the leadership metric that changes everything—mattering. Have you ever put everything into your work only to feel invisible? Like your contributions didn’t land, your ideas weren’t valued, and your presence didn’t really make a difference? That feeling—more than pay, promotions, or job security—is why people check out. People don’t quit jobs; they quit when they stop feeling like they matter. And yet, most leaders are focused on revenue, efficiency, and KPIs, while overlooking the one thing that truly drives results: people feeling seen, heard, and valued. Download the Episode Worksheet in the shownotes at: https://passionstruck.com/mattering-at-work-new-metric/ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why mattering is the most overlooked leadership metric The psychology behind why employees stay or leave The four dimensions of mattering and how leaders can apply them How great leaders create cultures where employees feel seen, heard, and valued Why high performers prioritize meaning over money We’ll explore research-backed insights, leadership case studies, and actionable takeaways to help you create a work environment where people don’t just perform—they thrive. Next Episode Preview: Next week, I’m sitting down with none other than Randy Blythe, the powerhouse lead singer of the band Lamb of God. We're talking about resilience, discipline, and what it takes to push through challenges most people would walk away from. And trust me, this conversation is going to hit hard in the best way possible. You won't want to miss it.

Have you ever felt that your pursuit of excellence leaves you more stressed than satisfied? What if perfectionism isn’t a flaw to be fixed but a strength to be harnessed? In episode 572, John sits down with Katherine Morgan Schafler , psychotherapist, speaker, and author of The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control: A Path to Peace and Power. Katherine’s groundbreaking approach challenges everything we think we know about perfectionism, showing us that it isn’t something we need to eliminate—but rather, something we can transform into a tool for personal and professional growth. They explore the five types of perfectionists—Classic, Intense, Parisian, Messy, and Procrastinator—and how understanding your type can unlock self-awareness, resilience, and healthier relationships. Katherine reveals how perfectionism intersects with belonging, self-worth, and the universal need to matter, as well as why it can be both a motivator and a barrier in our pursuit of fulfillment. Full shownotes can be found here: https://passionstruck.com/katherine-morgan-schafler-on-perfectionism/ Key takeaways: 1. The Three Dimensions of a Good Life 2.

Miles welcomes one of the world’s leading psychologists, Dr. Shige Oishi , to discuss his latest book, Life in Three Dimensions: How Curiosity, Exploration, and Experience Make a Fuller, Better Life .

In this episode of Passion Struck, host John R. Miles welcomes back Dr. Ethan Kross, a leading expert on emotions and self-regulation, to discuss his latest book, SHIFT . The conversation delves into the importance of understanding and managing our emotions, emphasizing that emotions should not be suppressed but rather harnessed as powerful tools for personal growth and resilience. The episode explores various strategies for managing emotions, including the concept of "shifters"—sensory experiences that can alter our emotional states. Dr. Kross emphasizes the role of music, scents, and touch in modulating feelings, sharing a personal anecdote about using music to uplift his daughter’s mood before a soccer game.

In this episode, you will learn: Emotions as Tools : Emotions should not be viewed as obstacles but rather as tools that can help us navigate life. Understanding and managing our emotions can lead to resilience, connection, and fulfillment. The Importance of Avoidance : Strategic avoidance of emotional triggers can be beneficial. Sometimes stepping away from a situation allows for better clarity and decision-making when returning to it. Sensory Shifters : Our senses can significantly influence our emotional states. Engaging with sensory experiences, such as music or scents, can help shift our emotions quickly and effectively. Cultural Influence on Emotions : Culture plays a crucial role in shaping our beliefs, values, and norms regarding emotions. Understanding the cultural context can help individuals navigate their emotional lives more intentionally. No One-Size-Fits-All Solution : There are no universal solutions for managing emotions. Just as physical fitness requires a variety of exercises, emotional management requires a diverse set of tools tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

In this episode of Passion Struck, John dives deep into a critical conversation about the battle for our souls and the importance of reclaiming our purpose in a world that constantly distracts us from what truly matters. John shares his personal journey of disconnection, illustrating how the relentless pursuit of success and external validation can lead us to lose sight of our authentic selves. We explore the subtle ways we lose the fight for our souls—through distractions, people-pleasing, and the fear of stepping outside our comfort zones. John emphasizes that success without meaning is merely a distraction dressed as achievement, and he challenges listeners to reflect on who they are truly living for. Download the Episode Worksheet in the shownotes at: https://passionstruck.com/win-the-fight-for-your-soul-and-why-it-matters/ What You'll Learn in This Episode The Battle for Your Soul : Every day, distractions and societal pressures can lead to a gradual disconnection from your authentic self. This disconnection is subtle and often goes unnoticed until it becomes overwhelming. The Illusion of Success : The belief that success equates to fulfillment is a major lie. Many individuals achieve external success but still feel empty inside. True fulfillment comes from aligning your actions with your core values and purpose. Distraction and People-Pleasing : Constant distractions, whether digital or social, drain your energy and attention. People-pleasing behaviors further contribute to losing your identity, as you prioritize others' approval over your own desires. The Success Trap : Chasing external achievements can lead to a life devoid of meaning. The pursuit of more—whether it be money, status, or accolades—often results in dissatisfaction and a sense of emptiness. Fear and Comfort Zones : Fear of failure and the unknown can prevent individuals from pursuing what truly matters. Many remain stuck in their comfort zones, avoiding the discomfort necessary for growth. The Fight Framework : Jon introduces a five-step framework to reclaim your soul: F ace the Truth: Identify your core values. I dentify the Noise: Eliminate distractions that drain your energy. G row Through Discomfort: Embrace challenges that foster growth. H arness Inner Strength: Discover your ikigai, or reason for being. T ake Daily Action: Make purpose-driven choices every day. John encourages listeners to take immediate action by identifying one thing they will fight for today. This episode is not just about understanding the struggle; it's about taking steps to reclaim your life and soul. Join us as we embark on this journey of intentional living, and remember, your soul is worth fighting for.

In this first solo episode of 2025, John explores the profound lessons of the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi and how it can transform the way we approach imperfection, growth, and purpose. Wabi-Sabi teaches us to embrace the beauty of life’s imperfections, find value in its incompleteness, and appreciate the fleeting nature of our experiences. Reflecting on both the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I share personal insights from moments beyond my control—like the loss of my sister and the upheaval caused by Hurricane Helene—as well as the cracks I created myself, like unfinished goals and inconsistent habits. Together, we uncover how these moments, whether chosen or thrust upon us, are opportunities for growth, connection, and resilience. Download the Leave Behind in the full show notes at: https://passionstruck.com/embrace-wabi-sabi-own-your-cracks/ This episode offers practical strategies for applying Wabi-Sabi to your own life, including reflecting on the past without judgment, living fully in the present, and setting meaningful, imperfect future goals. You’ll also learn how to turn your cracks—both external and internal—into places where growth thrives, connection deepens, and your sense of mattering comes alive. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by the pressure to be perfect or struggled to find meaning in life’s chaos, this episode will equip you with a new perspective for the year ahead. By embracing your imperfections and living intentionally, you can uncover what truly matters and create a life of purpose and impact. In this episode, you will learn: How Wabi-Sabi redefines imperfection as a source of strength and meaning. Practical steps to reflect on 2024’s lessons and apply them to 2025. Strategies for setting intentional, flexible goals that prioritize progress over perfection. The importance of owning your cracks as opportunities for growth and connection.

In this episode of Passion Struck , John R. Miles welcomes Heather Moyse, a four-time Olympian, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and World Rugby Hall of Fame Inductee, to discuss cultivating a resilient mindset. Heather shares her transformative shift from a "Can I?" approach to a "How can I?" approach, empowering individuals to focus on solutions and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Reflecting on her upbringing in Prince Edward Island and her unexpected leap into bobsledding at 27, Heather highlights the importance of setting ambitious goals, overcoming self-doubt, and redefining what’s realistic. Drawing from her book Redefining Realistic , she inspires listeners to confront self-limiting beliefs and take actionable steps toward their dreams. This episode is a powerful reminder of the potential within all of us to achieve more than we imagine. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/heather-moyse-how-to-create-a-gold-medal-mindset/ Call to Action : Don’t let self-doubt hold you back from your full potential. Resilience starts with shifting your mindset from "Can I?" to "How can I?" What’s one challenge you’re ready to tackle with this new perspective? Share it in the comments and take the first step toward turning obstacles into opportunities. Let’s inspire and empower each other to redefine what’s possible!

In this episode, you will learn: Shift from "Can I?" to "How can I?" : Changing the question from a binary "Can I?" to an open-ended "How can I?" encourages a focus on solutions and possibilities rather than limitations. Embrace Challenges : Viewing challenges as opportunities to learn and grow can foster resilience. Instead of fearing failure, approach goals with curiosity about how close you can achieve them. Visualization and Goal Breakdown : Breaking goals into smaller, manageable steps and visualizing the process can help maintain motivation and clarity on the path forward. Support Systems : A strong support system that values you for who you are rather than your performance can provide a safety net that encourages risk-taking and exploration. Gamify the Process : Treating goal achievement as a game—asking "How close can I get?"—can make the journey enjoyable and reduce the pressure associated with high-stakes outcomes. Resilience Through Experience : Learning from setbacks and understanding that highly unlikely outcomes do not equate to impossibility can strengthen mental fortitude.

In this enlightening episode of the Passion Struck podcast, host John Miles engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Israa Nasir, a New York City-based psychotherapist, author, and founder of WellGuide. This digital platform is committed to raising mental health awareness, particularly among first- and second-generation immigrants. Israa brings groundbreaking perspectives that challenge the conventional narratives surrounding productivity, self-worth, and success in today's demanding society. Her upcoming book, Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More , serves as an essential guide for those ensnared in the relentless hustle culture. Throughout the episode, John and Israa delve into how societal pressures to constantly achieve can lead to burnout, shame, and a profound disconnection from one’s authentic self. If you've ever found yourself measuring your self-worth against your productivity or to-do list, this episode offers transformative insights. It paves the way for listeners to redefine what productivity means, reclaim their time, and discover sustainable methods to fulfill their emotional needs. Tune in to learn how to shift from a life dominated by "doing" to one that celebrates "being," and embrace a more fulfilling, intentional lifestyle.

Hyper-Optimization : Society glorifies hyper-optimization and busyness, driven by social comparison and the need for belonging, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and burnout. The Importance of Prioritization : Not everything matters equally; applying the Pareto principle (80-20 rule) helps identify which tasks yield the most significant outcomes, allowing for better focus on value-aligned activities. Binary Thinking : Binary thinking traps individuals in a mindset where success or failure is viewed as absolute, ignoring the nuances and complexities of personal growth and achievement. Perfectionism and Comparison : Perfectionism often coexists with the comparison trap, where individuals feel pressured to meet unrealistic standards set by themselves or society, leading to anxiety and toxic productivity. Self-Compassion : Embracing self-compassion and being present can help individuals break free from the cycle of toxic productivity, allowing for a healthier relationship with work and personal fulfillment.

What can one person do to change the world? Julia Butterfly Hill answered this question with an extraordinary act of courage and conviction. In 1997, with no formal training in activism or environmentalism, Julia climbed into a 1,000-year-old redwood tree named Luna and refused to come down for over two years. Her purpose? To save the ancient redwood from being logged. In this episode of Passion Struck , we examine the powerful story behind Julia's 738-day tree-sit and how her unwavering commitment drew global attention to the devastation of ancient forests. Julia’s story isn’t just about environmental activism—it’s a profound example of how one person’s intentional choice can spark a ripple effect, inspiring people worldwide to take action for causes they believe in. Through Julia's remarkable journey, we unpack her lessons about courage, personal transformation, and the power of standing up for something—even if you're standing alone. You’ll also hear insights on how you, too, can make a difference, starting with the small choices you make every day. Link to the full show notes: https://passionstruck.com/julia-butterfly-hill-the-power-of-one/ Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect support system to act. Like Julia Butterfly Hill, you have the power to make a difference—no matter how small you think your actions might be. What’s one thing you can do today to create positive change? Let us know in the comments and start your journey toward impact. In this episode, you will learn: The Impact of One: Julia Butterfly Hill’s story demonstrates how a single individual, without formal support or experience, can inspire a global movement through unwavering determination. Taking a Stand: Julia’s 738-day tree sit was a profound act of civil disobedience, showing the power of standing up for a cause, even when the odds seem insurmountable. Mindful Choices: Living in the tree made Julia mindful of every decision, from conserving food to collecting water, teaching us that even our smallest actions can have far-reaching consequences. Bravery and Growth: Julia’s experience teaches that true transformation often starts with discomfort, and that courage grows when we step beyond our comfort zones. Love Over Anger: Although initially fueled by anger, Julia learned that leading with love for the earth and future generations was a more enduring and impactful approach. Strength in Community: Julia’s journey emphasizes the value of community support—her success was made possible by the network of activists and allies who stood by her through the trials she faced.

In today’s episode, John R. Miles explores the concept of choice bracketing , a powerful framework that shows how the seemingly small decisions we make every day can compound over time to significantly impact our future. Drawing on the real-life examples of Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett, we discuss how big-picture thinking helps avoid reactive, short-term choices in favor of intentional actions that align with long-term goals. The episode breaks down the science of decision-making, focusing on how balancing short-term comfort with long-term success requires shifting from narrow, isolated choices to a broader, portfolio of choices approach. You’ll learn how Bezos applied the regret minimization framework to launch Amazon and how Buffett’s investment philosophy is rooted in viewing life through a long-term lens.

In episode 502 of Passion Struck, we tackle a subject that's hitting hard in our world right now: cynicism. Cynicism creeps into our thoughts, erodes our connections, and chips away at our belief in one another. To help us untangle this, we have an extraordinary guest, Dr. Jamil Zaki, a professor of psychology at Stanford University and an expert in empathy and kindness. His new book, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness , reveals how we can overcome cynicism through hopeful skepticism. Dr. Zaki shares powerful insights from over two decades of research on how to escape the cynicism trap and boost your mental well-being. We discuss the myth of the cynical genius, how to combat polarization, and foster a more unified world. Dr. Zaki also delves into his personal journey, including how his parents' difficult divorce influenced his study of empathy and understanding others.

On The Passion Struck Podcast, I share a powerful story about Jimmy Carter’s pivotal encounter with Admiral Hyman Rickover—one that forever changed Carter’s approach to life and leadership. During his interview for the Navy’s nuclear submarine program, Rickover asked a simple but profound question: "Did you always do your best?" Carter’s honest reply, "No, sir, I didn’t always do my best," was met with a sharp follow-up: "Why not?" That piercing question struck Carter deeply, becoming a turning point in his personal philosophy. It wasn’t just a challenge—it was a call to relentlessly pursue excellence and hold himself accountable, even when it’s uncomfortable. In this episode, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own journey. Are we truly giving our best, or do we settle for less? How can we break through our own limitations? Carter’s story serves as a powerful reminder that the pursuit of excellence is ongoing, requiring deep introspection, brutal honesty, and a commitment to growth that never wavers.

Have you ever heard these myths about long-term success? That you have to choose between a job you love and a high-paying career, that playing the long game means giving up short-term rewards, and that there is only one correct path to success. Fortunately, Dorie Clark has the truth to share with career-driven individuals who seek long-term success: How to Create Success Playing the Long Game . Dorie Clark Joins Me to Discuss How to Create Success Playing the Long Game Despite the many obstacles she faced, Dorie Clark never gave up on her journey. As she shifted from academia to journalism and eventually into entrepreneurship, she discovered that pushing through adversity was crucial to achieving her goals. In her latest book, "The Long Game," she emphasizes the importance of staying committed to one's passions, even when the road becomes uncertain. Drawing from her own experiences and those of countless others, Dorie demonstrates that it's not about the number of competitors at the starting line but the few who make it to the finish. By being persistent and consistently evaluating one's desires and motivations, anyone can find success playing the long game.

By cultivating qualities like profound wisdom, detachment from materialism, fostering connections and serving others, and making spiritual advancements, we can pave the way for greater happiness.

On the Passion Struck podcast, I have the pleasure of hosting Jay Van Bavel, the Director of the Social Identity & Morality Lab, Associate Professor of Psychology & Neural Science at New York University, and an affiliate at the Stern School of Business in Management and Organizations. During the episode, we delve into his insights in his book " The Power of Us ," which explores the potential of shared identities to enhance performance, encourage collaboration, and facilitate social unity. In This Episode, Jay Van Bavel And I Discuss His Book "The Power of Us." According to Jay Van Bavel, my guest today, many people believe that their identity remains static. However, he argues that the opposite is true. Your identity continuously evolves, frequently beyond your conscious awareness and occasionally against your will, to align with the interests of the groups you associate with. Consequently, it is not unusual for beliefs to persist even after they have been refuted. By comprehending how identity functions, you can seize control and progress from questioning, "Who am I?" to asking, "Who do I aspire to become?"

Oksana Masters, the most decorated U.S. Winter Paralympian or Olympian ever, reveals on the Passion Struck Podcast that people often express their admiration for her achievements and assume it was an easy path for her. However, she explains that she faced numerous challenges along the way. She did not qualify for her first Paralympic Games and failed to make the national skiing team. In fact, she was even homeless, living in a car just before the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, where she won silver and bronze medals for cross-country skiing. She has gone on to win 17 medals in skiing, rowing, cycling, and biathlon. We discuss her new memoir, The Hard Parts . Oksana Masters and I Explore Her Memoir "The Hard Parts" Oksana Masters' story is one that transcends any single category or definition. It is a tale of both horror and heroism, disdain and love, excruciating pain, and immense joy. She has been an orphan, a double-leg amputee, a Ukrainian, an American, and a seven-time Paralympic gold medalist. Yet, none of these labels can fully capture the complexity of her life, which we explore in today's episode.

I welcome Stefan Falk to Passion Struck, who is a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life. We explore his new book Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before. Stefan Falk discusses why intrinsic motivation is vital to success Stefan Falk and I discuss why to achieve productivity and positivity in both personal and professional life, it's important to have a sense of control, an understanding of current events and future prospects, and a strong and supportive social network. The need for connection and trust has become even more crucial with the rise of remote work. However, many of us struggle to meet these needs effectively and instead resort to unhelpful coping strategies. The key to success is to develop intrinsic motivation by focusing on activities that align with our career and life goals, rejecting a competitive mentality, finding joy in our work, and doing it well.

Today I am joined on the Pasion Struck podcast by the award-winning psychologist and author Dr. Ethan Kross, who reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and how we can harness it to live healthier, more satisfying, and more productive lives. Dr. Kross is the author of " Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It. " What We Discuss About The Power of Our Inner Voice Ethan Kross delves into the inner dialogue we engage in with ourselves. Through research from his lab and real-world examples, such as a struggling pitcher and a spy balancing her dual identities, Kross demonstrates how these internal conversations shape our lives, careers, and relationships. He cautions that succumbing to negative self-talk, referred to as "chatter" by Kross, can harm our physical and mental health, undermine our mood, damage our social connections, and make us falter under stress.
