Summary

How often do you think about why you do what you do, why you see the world a certain way, and why you’re unable to create change within yourself? In this episode of the Align podcast, Kyle Thiermann and I have a deep conversation that will change your viewpoint on how you approach multiple aspects of your life.   We answer the questions... Why do we hold ourselves back from success? And why do others of us go after success at any cost? How can we meet our enemy where they are? And why is it important to befriend your enemy?  How can we have more empathy for others? And why don’t we have empathy in the first place? What is the best way to create change in the world and in other people?    Kyle is a Patagonia Surf Ambassador, producer, freelance journalist, and host of the podcast, The Kyle Thiermann Show. Kyle is also the co-creator and producer of The Motherf*cker Awards, a satirical awards show that aims to create corporate accountability through comedy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

This conversation was recorded several months ago, three and a half months ago, four months ago.

So it is interesting how relevant a lot of the

0:36.8

topics are actually for this present time as we are mid-quarantine. Really interesting.

0:43.6

I hope you all are doing well out there.

0:45.9

I feel like each of us are in our own internalized bubbles

0:50.9

and our perception of what is going on is so

0:53.2

probably vastly different from person to person. So I highly encourage people to

0:59.0

communicate with each other, do Zoom calls or you know just reach out to friends you haven't talked to

1:06.8

for a while and when you're out in public be really kind and make your facial gestures and your mannerisms be something of openness

1:20.6

and something that makes people smile, makes people feel good.

1:25.0

I think we can have a powerful impact on people just through the way that we move through

1:32.4

1:33.6

So if you're wondering what can I do for other folks right now

1:37.2

1:40.7

I can't touch them.

1:41.4

What could I possibly do? I think that you just

1:44.0

moving in such a way, I think that actually is impactful. And there was, I might have
