The Art of Accomplishment

Wanting is one of our most powerful levers for change. Not what you want, but your relationship to wanting itself. In this episode, Joe sits down with AOA facilitator Alexa Kistler (and Brett’s wife) to unpack why so many people are at war with their desires and how ending that war offers a path out of suffering.
They discuss:
Wanting, craving, and aversion
Childhood patterns that take us away from wanting
Identity shifts when you allow yourself to want
How not owning desire makes you more manipulable, not less
Why chasing outcomes creates suffering, even when you succeed
Research mentioned: 
Women are more agreeable than men across cultures

You're about to discover why that promotion you won't ask for, that business you won't start, and that conversation you keep avoiding all come from the same illusion.

Joe reveals the counterintuitive reason you feel 'stuck' and can't seem to move forward on your goals. It has nothing to do with a lack of options and everything to do with a fear of consequences. These insights come from Joe's three decades of working intimately with some of the world's most productive people, from billionaires to Fortune 500 CEOs, and uncovering the emotional patterns that drive procrastination.

Joe let Brett ask him anything at all about his life, and there were SO many questions, but ultimately his curiosity lead him to explore the story beneath the teaching: what was Joe’s path? How did he come to the work that he now shares with the world? Joe started out as a young man whose curious and open spirit blended with a serious rebellious streak that opened up a unique path. A bit of luck, love, and sometimes painful adventuring through the world, shaped him into the Joe we know and love today. Tune in to get a glimpse of the many facets that comprise Joe’s life.

Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings.
For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it’s a misunderstood emotional signal. It’s a protective mechanism to stop you from feeling something uncomfortable, whether it’s a fear of failure or even a fear of success.

Brett and Joe have nailed the PERFECT episode, which means they can finally get this podcast launched! Now they just need to get the perfect album art, title, set…and the perfect list of everything they need to do before they can launch the perfect podcast!
In this episode, our hosts tackle everyone’s favourite Achilles heel: perfectionism. It shows up in individuals, teams, organizations, and entire societies. They explore where it comes from, why it has increased dramatically over the past decades, and how it narrows perception, creates internal chaos, and—paradoxically—produces worse results.
They discuss:
Perfectionism is fundamentally fear-based, not excellence-based
How perfectionism predicts the same negative health outcomes as chronic stress
The rise of perfectionism over the past 30 years and why things haven’t gotten better
Binary thinking and the illusion of a perfect end state
The childhood roots of perfectionism and chaotic environments
Why perfectionism actually creates the chaos it’s trying to prevent
How organizations unintentionally reward fear and stagnation
Practical ways to work with fear, the inner critic, and the nervous system
