I am stressed. You are stressed. Everybody seems to be stressed.

But.

But...we don't need to simply be victims of stress. Instead of complaining about your job for the 73rd consecutive day...you have the power to mitigate, manage and deal with your stress.

In this edition of the Podcast, we talk about all the common and not-so-common ways you can do that – including something called "The Stress Stack."

Tune in and take control.

“What if we retired in Europe?”

It’s a Tuesday night in January. You’ve just shovelled the driveway for the 83rd time this winter. As you open a bottle of red wine, THAT question crosses your mind.

For Alper Ozdemir…the fun didn’t stop there.

When I met him a decade ago, he was talking about retiring in Spain. Just after the pandemic, he and his wife made the jump (to Italy).

How they did it — and how you can too…on a fascinating edition of The Playbook.

(Oh — and if you want to start your own journey, you can rent Alper’s villa in the summer — check it out here: www.casacalipuglia.com).

This is a weird story about safety.

Warren Coughlin is one of the smartest, most original people I know. He's been a lawyer, an actor and a pretty nifty business consultant.

After doing a show on identifying fear a few weeks back, I asked him if he had any odd thoughts on Safety.

Boy, oh boy, does he ever.

In this episode, he talks about how to create the space for safety even before "fear" tries to kick in. We talk about building plans, understanding values, paying attention to the numbers, and changing the world.

All in 46 minutes.

Listen in. Your brain is gonna hurt after this one.
