Your World Within Podcast by Eddie Pinero

In this episode, I play a fireside chat with Evan Carmichael from last years Your World Within Live event, where Evan sheds light on his experiences as an entrepreneur, author and Youtube creator. Delving into topics from handling criticism to building a personal brand to the ins and outs of effectively using social media, there is something here for everyone!

In this episode I talk about the idea that you can't give what you don't have.  Just like an orange, when squeezed, can only produce orange juice, outside circumstances can only bring out of us what already exists. When we change our thought patterns and belief systems, it becomes apparent that the outside world has far less control over our emotional state than perhaps we once thought.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." In this episode I touch on the power of "cutting away" and the ability to be clear and concise with our thoughts, words and actions.

"If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse." In this episode I discuss a good friend of mine who continues to pursue and master his passion despite the challenges and complexities of everyday life....and float the reminder that the world doesn't get to dictate your reality, you do.

In a world that is constantly trying to tell you what to think, how to act and who you are, this episode is about rising above the noise and creating your world within...

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good ol days before you've actually left them." - Ed Helms In this episode I discuss the power of the present moment and how to ensure we don't walk right by the things that matter most.

In this episode I discuss the idea that life is a marathon.  Not a black and white solution to some problem waiting to be solved, but a beautiful culmination of peaks, valleys, wins and losses that come to define our experience and make life worth living.

Sometimes it's not about taking drastic measures or searching for a larger than life solution...sometimes it's simply hanging on when others are letting go...

As much as we are inclined to live problem free lives, Mark Manson suggests that life is not about removing problems as much as it is about choosing the right ones. Happiness is growth, and in essence, positioning yourself to face and conquer the problems that mean the most to you.   In this episode I dive into the task of removing that which doesn't serve you and exhausting precious time and energy only on that which does.

We tend to think of motivation as the spark that gets us going, igniting our rational for moving forward and causing us to jump off the couch and enthusiastically push toward our goals. But what if, as Mark Manson states in his book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck" action is what creates motivation? That by simply moving we are putting ourselves in position to manufacture the small wins that ultimately define our success. Maybe we missed the mark, and rather than needing a full understanding of the destination, the important thing is that we simply begin taking steps.
