    Ep 128: Success Isn't What They Say
    Jun 24 2025
    Since we were young, our definition of success was highly influenced by our parents, culture, and community. In many cases, we didn’t strongly question the definition despite intuitive cues of misalignment. And so, the misalignment may have compounded feelings of resentment, self-doubt, or a lack of self-worth, for example. But how do you define success now? How are you getting in your own way of embodying that definition? Tune in as we discuss different perspectives on success to help widen your macro lens. Our definition of success evolves over time Macro vs. micro lens of success What’s in the way of people becoming successful? Can’t be successful if you never define what that means We often don’t see the full picture What’s the value of striving? The ego’s shenanigans ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 127: Influence Mindfully
    Jun 17 2025
    We are constantly influencing and being influenced by others. How responsible and mindful are we in this regard? Are we manipulating and being manipulated? Whether unconscious or conscious, what is our hidden agenda? Even between like-minded friends, there is typically some underlying motive at play during interactions. The desire or tendency to influence is egoic. Therefore, if we want to live more authentically, it is important to be as aware as possible of how we influence and attempt to influence others. What’s your agenda in influencing others? Being influenced is part of the human experience Social media influencers being tactical Being genuine, authentic, and having influence Important qualities of people with influence Realness is influential ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 126: Servant Leadership
    Jun 10 2025
    Servant leadership and self-serving leadership are vastly different. Although it may seem that servant leadership would be most beneficial for any group to reach its goals, this style of leadership is rare. Servant leadership has been a buzzword for some time, but it appears that many leaders at all levels of companies and organizations do not embody it. How different would the world be if servant leadership were the norm? Leadership style is a choice and preference by each individual. Choosing to be a servant leader requires much more than strategies, tactics, and mastering the political game. It requires that we continuously face the parts of ourselves that are uncomfortable. For only then can we deeply and compassionately understand the needs of the people we are responsible for leading. Servant leadership has to be genuine How you display leadership is important Qualities of a servant leader Leading yourself first Difficult to spot genuineness Leadership is a skill that can be learned Difference between leadership and management Entrepreneurs have to be both a leader and a manager ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 125: 3 Steps Forward, 2 Steps Back
    Jun 3 2025
    We often react to setbacks in a disempowered way. Going backwards feels defeating, especially when we’re making progress and gaining momentum. It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like a victim in these circumstances. However, it is essential to recognize the opportunities for learning and growth. The empowering perspective is that these opportunities move us forward, not backward. Focusing our attention on expanding perspective rather than on physical or material setbacks is key. Redefining words and relationships Setbacks are movements forward Challenges are meant for learning and pivoting Not being a victim of your circumstances Handling a typical physical setback Where am I choosing from?

  • Ep 124: Faux Empathy?

    Ep 124: Faux Empathy?
    May 27 2025
    Empathy has become a buzzword over the years. Being empathetic sounds and looks great, but how empathetic are we actually? Is our empathy fake? How deeply are we connecting with ourselves and others? Awareness of the edge of our own discomfort, whether it be an emotion and/or thought, offers an opportunity for us to deepen empathy. Empathy is experienced in attentiveness, patience, and the ability to respond appropriately to what is needed in the moment. And what is needed in the moment must be clear to deepen the connection. Sympathy vs. empathy How far do you go down into the pits with someone? What do you need? Fixing is often a reaction to avoid emotions Empathy starts with ourselves Empathy and judgment Suppressing emotions Fear of losing control of emotions It’s in our nature to connect with people ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 123: Relationship To Food
    May 20 2025
    Our relationship to food is fundamental to the quality of our life experience. Our eating habits amplify the complex dynamic between body and mind. Unless we are personally growing most of the food we consume, we are generally at the mercy of the food available at local stores. With the rapid decline in the quality of store-bought foods over the last few decades, mindful eating is more important than ever before. And mindful eating requires us to revisit our conditioned beliefs about food. Reflecting on early memories with food Noticing eating patterns based on feelings Awareness of lifestyle goal We want comfort more than growth It’s a complex dynamic between body and mind Extra mindfulness with the food we consume Sensitivity to what your body is saying Trial and error ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi

    Ep 121: Faith Part 2
    Apr 29 2025
    When we acknowledge that there is much more that we don’t know compared to what we do know, we can understand that we are always living in faith. Faith is the unconditional belief in the unseen. For example, death is a major fear for many of us, yet on most days, we have faith that we will wake up the next day. How would our lives be different if we applied a similar level of faith to all aspects of our lives, including relationships and career? How do we strengthen faith when doubt sets in? What are some signs of weakening faith? In this episode, we emphasize the importance of empowering our relationship to faith in all areas of our lives. Getting clear when we’re losing faith Losing faith in self There’s no map or formula to develop more Faith Distinguishing lack of faith in the goal or in ourselves Time to reflect is crucial Alignment increases faith Comfortability can weaken the faith muscle Boredom and predictability ------------------------- CONNECT WITH JEFF: Website: https://jeffmillercoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmillercoaching/ IG: @jeffmillercoaching FB: https://www.facebook.com/jeff.miller.7965 Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/jeffmillercoaching CONNECT WITH TATSU: Website: https://tatsuyafushimi.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatsuyafushimi/ IG: @tatsuyafushimi FB: https://www.facebook.com/tatsuya.fushimi.9/ Books: https://www.amazon.com/author/tatsuyafushimi
