This episode is a collection of songs that tell stories of past events or people; stories that in one way or another were marginalized, censored, sanitized, or buried, often because they dealt with histories considered too traumatic, contentious, or even a threat to those in power. Overall, the songs in today’s episode all recount histories that survived—or that were preserved and retold—through music, when they might have otherwise disappeared. The idea for this epis...

2019-11-1230 minFit For AdventureBe RelentlessRelentlessness is a common trait among high performers. But it is sometimes misconceived, or misunderstood. Successful people might call it "all hustle." We could agree with that. Not so successful people (ie. people with a scarcity mindset) may view relentlessness as ego and overkill. We could also agree with that.
Hear us decipher the meaning of being relentless, and how we use it, if not require it in ourselves and look for the trait in others.

Great leaders get their hands dirty and, at the very least, experiment with what they're talking about. We live in a world of people who lack integrity and humility and are disingenuous. But those who DO live the life they envision for others, they're the ones who are truly happy. And for...
