Hot Springs, Values and Your Authentic Self

And the greatness continues! Thank you so much to Doug Erwin for exploring true authenticity on this episode of the Greatness Machine Podcast.

In this episode, Doug and I talked about:

?? Hot springs, naked hippies, and a cure for the "Trump blues”

?? Showing up as your authentic self

?? Overcoming fear and moving past the thresholds that hold us back

?? And so much more...

Quotes:

"I have been surviving COVID by going into the wilderness, honestly going to my happy place which is kind of sacred ground for me - it's Buckeye hot springs."

"I sit out and every morning I'll do a twenty to thirty-minute meditation outside and it's different when the wind is blowing and you hear the birds chirping? It's very grounding."

"I think for me, the thing that's been most powerful is just developing a stronger sense of self-awareness. It's enabled me to become less reactive and more present in the kind of chaos that is the rest of the world."

"You know, your meditation is not for the time you sit on the couch, right? Or on the cushion. It's for all the other times and to help you recognize that you're the same person everywhere."

"We're an economic development agency that is focused on economic diversification and job growth for the Northern Nevada area. Specifically, what I care about is entrepreneurial development, which is basically ecosystem building. 'How do we make our community a great place for entrepreneurs to thrive?'"

"I work in an organization that's going to get government cuts, who knows? I might not be there tomorrow. But if the values are imprinted in the entrepreneurs that have a 20-year cycle, they're the ones that are going to carry those values forward."

"...one of the biggest challenges I think we have in the world right now is finding good leaders and people that are willing to take those risks."
