This podcast is designed to inspire you to create your best possible life through sharing stories of others who already have done some amazing things. To create your best possible life requires putting yourself out there, taking risks and believing in yourself. It requires adapting the right mindset. Far too many of us are trapped in situations that are less than desirable because we hang on to limiting beliefs and poor assumptions. We all want different things and have different definitions of “success”. There is no one formula to get there. Whether our paths involve waking up at 4 A.M. or staying up past midnight, reading 100 books per year or getting all of our information from YouTube videos, the one common thing we all need, to get moving on what we really want, is the right mindset. In our day to day lives in the 2020s, many of us still frequently find ourselves in environments that encourage us to act out of fear, play it safe, not take risks and accept less than what we deserve. The antidote to this is to regularly expose ourselves to interesting ideas, stories about people who implemented them and new and innovative ways to look at the world around us. Most of us have something we want to do. When we follow our passions we create a better life for ourselves and, usually, a better world around us. The stories discussed in this podcast are meant to inspire you all to widen your range of possibilities, try new things, and make what you really want in life happen. After that, maybe you should be a guest on the podcast! I call it Action’s Antidotes because “Action” is an old nickname I once had in college. By embracing this nickname, I thought I was leaning into my worst quality; getting bored really easily and not being able to sit still. Like most people, the “real world” knocked me down a little and knocked me off course. Despite my energy and general optimism, I found myself overthinking things, worrying too much and eventually living a life that was not true to who I am. My path to a better place in life involved once again embracing this part of my identity … “action”. For the vast majority of us, embracing action means overcoming fear and resisting the urge to avoid uncomfortable situations.
