EP #72: Groupthink
How influenced are we by the ideas of others? Do we hold beliefs because it makes logical sense or are we simply accepting the status quo? Groupthink plays a major role in the current state of our society. Groupthink diminishes the use of critical thinking and if not monitored can create dire circumstances. In this episode, we discuss how we can address and combat the effects of groupthink in our society. Jo: campsite.bio/thejoekool Marcus: linktr.ee/marcmotivation ABOVE THE CROWD Newsletter: ht...

EP #70: Toxic Positivity
Is it possible to be too positive? How often do we find ourselves "pretending" to be happy? Having a positive mindset is a powerful tool, however, dealing with the negatives we encounter is simply a part of life. Is there a balance between the two or is it more complicated than that?

Sometimes it's hard being different. People that aren't "normal" are often misjudged. The cost of being different is an interesting path.

EP # 65 Corporate Casualties
Have you ever thought your job was guaranteed to be there for you? We have!! I'm sure you know how that story ends. A stable job is great until it becomes unstable.

What's happens after you become a corporate casualty? How can we recover and what can we do to prevent it from ever happening again? https://linktr.ee/UnscriptedDreamsPodcast A...

How often do we take the time to look out for those who spend time helping us? The people that get us through are often selfless and available at the drop of a dime when we are in need. For some, however, there may not be anyone looking out for your best interest. How do we find a support system we believe we've never had? Is there such a thing as "self-made"?
