The Kevin Miller Podcast

My headline of doing only what you want will seem facetious and likely with a catch. But I commit to you that it’s possible, right now and today, to only do what you want. Or at least give you a dramatic launch in that direction and help you get there completely in short order. Does that mean you then achieve perfect happiness and joy? Not at all, because you’ll end up facing the reality that you are doing a lot of things you want to do that aren’t your best choice. You’ll either change some things or submit to them, but with a different perspective of personal power and ownership than normal. It’s a simple, yet very profound exercise. Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

Taking responsibility doesn’t come from some grand maturity or discipline as much as it comes from our identity and perspective. It’s a security issue. When you find yourself amidst a negative emotion and the temptation to place blame on someone or something else, it’s because something feels at risk. There are two questions you can ask to get to the root issue and generally alleviate the problem, or at least get honest with it. The questions are, “What am I protecting?” and “What is my perceived threat?” When you are not trying to protect yourself and when you are not threatened by anything, taking responsibility holds no risk. And it moves from damage control to possibility and opportunity. This is the paradigm shift you can make in regards to responsibility. Let me help you understand it more fully so you can embrace responsibility in a new light.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I’m flipping our concept of taking control. The normal perspective on taking control is to stand up tall and assert yourself. Take a firm grip and bend things to your will. This concept is generally related to your external life when you are striving to control things that are often not controllable or not your responsibility to control. But even internally this is the concept we can have. “OK Kevin. Get a grip! Grit your teeth. Be disciplined and use some will power! Man up! Woman up. Human up!” Yet the most powerful people I’ve ever experienced took little to know effort to get a grip. What I see them doing is the opposite. Letting go. And before you even think it, let me note that it’s not about not caring. So how do you let go, when you care deeply, and be in control? Drive with me a moment.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

Therapist Britt Frank, Kevin Miller, Terri Cole, and Vienna Pharaon discuss the benefits of taking responsibility over blame, cultural influences on accountability, self-awareness, personal growth, and the importance of defining one's narrative. They address the nuances of personal responsibility in relationships, exploring overresponsibility, high functioning codependency, emotional expression, and the shift from disempowerment to empowerment through responsibility.

The conversation surprisingly champions the power of play as a productivity tool. It highlights that integrating non-productive fun into our lives boosts creativity and emotional health. The hosts explore the guilt often associated with taking time for joy and the essential balance between work and leisure. They share anecdotes illustrating how structured play can lead to greater fulfillment and well-being. Listeners are encouraged to embrace simple pleasures and even reconsider the evolution of play in today's fast-paced world.

The podcast delves into the idea that addressing problems, not fulfilling desires, is what drives individuals towards solutions. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the primary motivators as problems and how many offerings actually solve a problem. The host encourages listeners to identify the problems they solve, as this drives personal growth and attracts others seeking solutions.

In this episode we look at one of the key ways to become a famous resource. We started with a masterclass in becoming known, with brand guru Rory Vaden. Rory is known for the topic of obscurity, and helping mission driven messengers not remain a best kept secret. In the last episode I drilled further into Rory’s counsel to become known for one thing. I hope you’ve been working on what you are, or are going to be, known for. Once you decide on that, then you need to go out and tell the world. And if you’re like most people, you go open up an account on every social media platform. You start a newsletter, a blog, a podcast and start doing videos for YouTube and reels everywhere you can. Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive?

In this episode I’ll give you the number one way to become a famous resource. When I share it, you will immediately agree. I’m not being flippant or confident, as I didn’t come up with this, I’m just the messenger. The answer is one of those super simple truths that you hear and go, “Oh, of course.” Super simple, yet it’s amazing how hard it is for us to clarify, choose, and stick to.

Rory Vaden, a personal growth expert, shares insights on being known and making an impact. Topics include finding your core offering, building influence, embracing purpose, serving others, and leveraging uniqueness for success.

In this episode we want to gain clarity on what we are in fact, becoming. You are working to grow, which means you are looking to become…something. Something more, but what? If you don’t have a clear destination in mind, you are likely to wander. Imagine going out in your car to travel, but without a clear place to go. “I’m just traveling!” But we often do this in our growth. “I’m just seeking growth!” Well, to what end? Who are you striving to become. Another aspect is the reality that you are in fact becoming…something. Every day. You are evolving or devolving or remaining stagnant, which is still a becoming. “Yeah, over time, Arnold just became…stagnant. Stuck.” We happen to our transformation or our transformation happens to us. I’m joined by Randy James, Medical Doctor, Functional Medicine expert and one of my favorite allies in striving to grow and become. This is a candid discussion to humbly look at our propensities as humans and the challenge this reality of becoming can be even for aspiring people. Got a comment or question about an episode?
