Preview KEW Episode 40: Get Out of Your Head!
I realized recently that I have spent nearly ten years in therapy. And it was pointed out to me by upcoming interviewee, Mandy Napier (The Mindset Alchemist) that this is too long to have not made much progress. In my defense, I have made A LOT of progress intellectually. But…
FLASHBACK! Episode 19: Addiction
I’ve been addicted to nicotine since I was around 15 years old. Ten years of cigarettes, traded those for dip tobacco for another decade, and have chewed nicotine gum on and off since it has been available without prescription. I say I have a nicotine addiction, but it’s really about…

FLASHBACK KEW Episode 9: Old Beliefs
Good time to revisit this Episode. For me, anyway because I’m constantly stalking old beliefs to try and change them. Old Beliefs are what you think is you. They’re the program running in the background of you ‘mind’. They’re the Matrix. But I’m here to tell you that the Old…
KEW Episode 28: Doubt

FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 8: Goals and Accolades
And a little bit about the meaning of life . . . . Many of us could use a little more self esteem. Yet we continually look for esteem outside ourselves in the external environment. For me, it was attention from the opposite sex. Or getting hired by a good…
