During a coin toss we say "heads or tails", but the truth is every coin has 2 sides. Every coin has heads AND tails. If a coin only has a heads OR tails it's not a coin. The same is true with our lives; we all have a good side and a bad side, a positive and a negative The larger the plus, the larger the minus. So what we need to do is celebrate the good and learn from the bad. Here is the link of the coin toss clip we used in the beginning of the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmxb9Fhi...

On a golf course in the summer of 88 at Subic Bay Naval Base, Philippine Islands, a Navy Admiral golfs with a simple petty officer. By design, Navy reserve 3rd class petty officers and Admirals don't generally mix and mingle with one another, but in this story they did.

If you were to write your life story, would it be a tragedy or a triumph? "Truth is, you can't have triumph without the tragedy. There has to be something for you to triumph over." Life has seasons, like books have chapters. To close the chapter on tragedy and open a new one on triumph, we just need to do what Joe McCarthy of MoJoe Studio (our partner studio) in L.A. said, "Just do the right thing, at the right time, for the right reason." Special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of his music...

People are people, not opinions. When we realize that, we are one step closer to finding truth, and when we find truth, we find freedom. Science is so much more than test tubes, beakers and your sophomore grade. It's actually a way to solve problems and find truth. Science is The Scientific Method. Unfortunately, when some use the term "science", they use it to silence opposing views. What they're really doing is shutting down the best way to find truth. We need to see others as people and not o...

Life is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Small things that make big things.

We tend to focus on the future, but we rarely look at the little things of the present." What are the protons of your life that you aren't seeing? How about the neutrons trying to get you to see the big things, the things that really matter? And what ...
