Hello and welcome to the Mark Groves podcast. So it's been a while since I came at you with the solo episode. I've had some things brewing, but have ultimately not gotten around to recording this till now.

And a couple reasons.

I mean, one, I've just felt like life is very, in a lot of ways, unstable.

There's a lot of uncertainty.

There's a lot of things happening.

And I've just wanted to be able to get grounded before I dove in. And the other side is that I've never recorded a solo episode

while being filmed. So it feels like a real stretch to what I know is possible. Can I still,

you know, I'm used to just sort of being in this state with my hoodie up and a mic just in front

of my face and I get to sort of marinate in the information

and just let it flow through me. And so it's like, can I do that well? I have a camera looking at me

and I'm looking at it. And well, I guess we'll wait and see. Yeah. You know, the reason I have to

start, well, the reason I wanted to start filming them is because I want to start just, I want to continue to expand my comfort zone.

I've never done this before, this specific thing before, and I was uncomfortable about it.

And I made a rule years ago that I would always do the things that

scare me, the things that I know move me towards expansion, and this will be much of the topic

of today, will actually be about commitment, about the alchemy of commitment. There's also

going to be an episode coming up on the podcast that Kai and I had, we did a presentation, we did a joint session on

the app mind, which is M-I-N-E-A-Postrophe D. You want to check it out. It's like the, I, I founded

it with my good buddy, Aaron Albert, and it's like live and on-demand classes about everything

you can imagine. And Kai and I did a whole series on Liberated Love.

And so you can go to markgroves.
