https://simplecast.com The Expanded Self The expanded self can best be described by one of my favorite quotes ever: “I am a part of all that I have met” — Lord Alfred Tennyson We are products of our environment and the people in our lives. I made this podcast to show how we are all connected and how we help shape each other. I will have guests come on that have personally inspired or influenced me in some way and ask them about their respective influences. We will hear from those people as well which will hopefully highlight how unique and unifying the human condition is through glimpses into what provides that spark of inspiration for different people. I will also utilize the channel to drop brief, solo pods on current events, deep dives into topics, and other areas of interest. I’m always open to topic submissions for discussion as well. en Mon, 16 Aug 2021 12:30:00 +0000 Mon, 16 Aug 2021 12:30:10 +0000 https://expanded-self.simplecast.com The Expanded Self https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/bf22c412-b815-4925-9325-59a1083ad684/bac82af4-0b9f-4277-b078-432694b9358b/3000x3000/the-expanded-self-cover-pt-1.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://expanded-self.simplecast.com episodic The expanded self can best be described by one of my favorite quotes ever: “I am a part of all that I have met” — Lord Alfred Tennyson We are products of our environment and the people in our lives.

The wisdom in cliches, early adoption of social media and diving in on networking, how hard it is to tell who will stay in your life vs. those that move on, connecting thoughts to action when it comes to creative and professional ambition, the importance of being vulnerable and open minded to receiving help, how to cultivate friendships in adulthood, outgrowing relationships and how vital reciprocity is, overextending yourself socially, the value of disagreement, how exciting it is to catch a “star” early in their career, self-deprecation in humor, the role of intelligence with humor, the highs and lows of being in an entertainment scene, how improv comedy can be empowering, working through depression and life transitions, imposter syndrome, weight loss, positive self-worth, the impact of sleep, comparing yourself to peers, the insatiable nature of progress, counterfactual thinking, mindfulness, people who are naturally charismatic, early podcasting days, friends growing into good parents, and some quick recommendations.
