It’s a good question. Why? Maybe we should always be asking why. When we don’t know why we’re doing something, what’s the point? Whether it’s for money. Or for power. Or to get something. Or maybe it’s a more altruistic reason. The ‘why’ we do things is critical and isn’t…

“Life is Supposed to Change; It’s Up To You” KEW Episode 100: The Evolution Paradox
Everything about our ‘biological-ness’ is related to change. The developmental stages are all changes. We all grow bigger through life. We go through a brief period of fast growth, then switch over to a period of reproduction. These things are true for all life forms. We share, with ALL biology,…
“The One Thing You Can Bet on is that Things Will Change” Preview KEW Episode 100: The Evolution Paradox
Do you believe in Evolution? What if I told you that all Evolution says is that ‘things change’? Can you argue with that? Kind of hard to argue. Because things change. Not much is true or guaranteed in life. See my first Episode on Facts for a thorough analysis of…
“The World Needs You To Become the Best ‘You’ Possible” KEW Episode 99: The Uniqueness Imperative
I kind of can’t believe the title of Episode 99, but this is the culmination of all the work so far including nearly 100 KEW Episodes and over 30 Interviews. Hopefully this body of work, thus far, has earned me a bit of credibility. Coupled with my PhD in Ecology…
“Finding Your Purpose is the Ultimate in Non-Conformity” Preview KEW Episode 99: The Uniqueness Imperative
I am so exited to share these next few Episodes with you and to talk about the new direction at KEW. In this Episode I introduce the Uniqueness Paradox (UP). This is derived from my series arc about the Are vs Should Problem and why we feel this dissonance between…
“Are you a winner or a loser?” Preview KEW Episode 95: Cooperation vs Competition
I don’t care much for competition. I grew up bullied by jocks. I never really liked team sports. I was a smart kid, but I didn’t like how the other smart kids competed with each other for grades. When I was learning mandolin, bluegrass musicians welcomed me with open arms….
Preview KEW Episode 86: Mind Control
Mind control – not in the sense of someone controlling YOUR mind (hello, YouTube) but in the sense of YOU ‘controlling’ your own mind. And I use the term control very loosely. I do not like the connotation that we rule over our minds like some overlord. I think Mind…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 6: Competition
Often touted as the thing that regulates Capitalism and prevents monopolies (ummm, Amazon.com?). Often brings out the worst in people (ever get in a fight over Monopoly the board game?). Often said to teach our children how to play fair (but check out the parents on the sidelines!). As a…
KEW Episode 71: Sustainability

KEW Episode 62: Change (cont)
Apparently I didn’t say quite enough about change in last weeks’ Episode 62: Change is Hard, but Resisting Change is WRONG! because when I say down to record this weeks’ Episode I just kept talking about CHANGE. Change. It’s the one thing we can count on. Since the Big Bang,…
