The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast!! Whereas learning is a continuous thing, perhaps the biggest favor we can do ourselves is to know what to learn. We are adept at learning many things just to make us "employable", but that's not as potent as what it can be. Listen to this from Mike Tyson.

📢 New #Podcast!! A man called Harvey Mackay once said that he had a coach for just about anything in life. He had speech coaches, writing coaches and so on. Mike Tyson has said something powerful about this too. He should know because he was a world champion. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is something powerful that Mike Tyson said about being a nobody, and it is directly linked to building a structure. This is very powerful information and a life nugget from the man who was a boxing heavyweight champion at the age of 19. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! 1478. Life is about change. Mike Tyson has a say about this and this is straight from his life. While talking to Joe Rogan, he talks about learning to change with the times. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I know it sounds funny, maybe sarcastic, but Mike Tyson brings it to light in a totally different manner. He is talking about the life of a champion and what it takes to be one. Other people will consider you delusional, but you have to make the delusional a reality. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! In a world that is fallen, some people look at it as if it is dog it dog society. We look at others who are 'competing' against us as if they are our enemies. There is a life nugget that Mike Tyson gives as far as this outlook is concerned. Coming from a former heavy weight boxing champion, this is advice that we need to take. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The inexperienced have theories. At times, they are so passionate about those. You should hear teenagers talking about relationships and what makes them sizzle. It is when they have gone through experiences that they get first-hand information and feedback on what really matters. Same thing Mike Tyson is telling us about money. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Ask any champion in any niche about 'the secret' to their success. A large percentage, if not all of them will not mention things such as their gifts and talents, their 'luck', their connections...and even their coaches. They will all agree unanimously on this age old nugget which is not really a secret to success. It is the way. Mike Tyson says so. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Impossible is a word that is common to all of us. The interesting thing is that we have different experiences with it. What might be impossible with you might be a walk in the park for me. As such, I cannot fault you and your impossibility, but there is a common thing about all of them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There are three groups of people in the world. You have heard about the 13%, the 87%, and the 3%. Normally, the 3% are the crème de la crème in any niche of life. The 13% are those who are in shape but the 87%, the majority, are those who are neither conditioned nor in shape. Mike Tyson distinguished between the top two. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Mike Tyson said something powerful in his interview with Joe Rogan some time back in 2020. I paraphrase, "Allow the pull of life to respond to your push." This is an incredible life nugget to note and I have dissected it here in this episode. Please have a listen.

📢 New #Podcast!! The power of conditioning cannot be overstated. Mike Tyson says that we need to learn and be alert to the moment where we must start confronting our conditioning. It is in that moment that we open ourselves up the power of possibilities. What 'could' happen? That's a powerful question. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Powerful things are subtle, at times not even seen. They can even be unconscious and such is the power of our conditioning. Mike Tyson teaches us one thing about this conditioning from a conversation he had with Joe Rogan a couple of years back. Here is what we can learn. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There are very powerful life lessons that we can pick from champions. One such a person was Mike Tyson. When he had a podcast conversation with Joe Rogan, for over two hours I watched and was mesmerized by the wisdom of the man...practical wisdom from what he went through. Here is one life nugget from there. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is a very terrible situation in life that I call "The twilight of wastage". This is a stage in life where you are in a mess but are discouraged or feel powerless to do anything about it. What you want done seems to demand so much from you that you just give up before starting. Mike Tyson was there. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! It is incredible to realize how much things could be but never are. Possibilities can be stifled and effectively muted by the power of the fear within. We learn from Mike Tyson when he said that he was afraid to start working out again because he was afraid of what things he would awaken...listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We are starting a new series today. For the next twenty episodes, we shall learn life nuggets as gleaned from an interview that Iron Mike Tyson had with Joe Rogan somewhere back in 2020. Whenever a champion, a world champion at that gets vulnerable, we can't help but listen. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The purpose economy is here to stay with us. It is going to keep increasing until there is a good critical mass world-wide so much so that we will change our education systems and the way society operates to mirror and also to help the purpose economy. In there, we will need to collaborate. Here's how.

📢 New #Podcast!! There are rules of collaboration and networking. When you go to a 'networking meeting', there are many things done traditionally that do not speak into the spirit of collaboration. In the purpose economy we need to learn how to do it well. Here is one of the ways. Listen to this...

📢 New #Podcast!! The purpose economy is here to stay. In order to thrive in that economy we need to learn how to collaborate one with another. Collaboration is an inescapable necessity if we are to do this right. If someone goes to this economy and tries to do it alone, they won't make it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! People come together for various reasons. Someone said that people come to your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. In the purpose economy, people need to collaborate for one priority reason. This doesn't mean that other reasons are not valid. However, look at the priority. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is no success in this world and especially in the purpose economy without collaboration. This is because there is no human being or even any entity in the universe that is self contained and self sufficient. Collaboration is predicated on the Law of Connectivity. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! One of the powerful principles in creation is the law of connectivity. The need for connectivity is predicated on several facts, first which is that nothing is self sufficient and self sustaining. Second, that each individual is unique and has a difference to contribute and third, each is needed. In the purpose economy, this needing each other cannot be overemphasized. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! By the time someone has given up on life, there are many things at play and I cannot even begin to assume what those things are. Understanding the difference between us humans and the rest of the species is important. It seems thought hat there is no difference between us and them at least in the way we strive for survival. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Given that the purpose economy is increasingly becoming a mainstay, we need to start thinking not only how to entrench it (previous episode), but also how to thrive in it. This is why collaboration at it is important. In order to collaborate, we need to understand and appreciate our different-ness. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Many organizations and governments are making efforts in trying to alleviate joblessness. One of the solutions that is being proffered has been the startup world and the gig economy in the recent past. I do believe that it should be a mainstay other than just being a 'Plan B.' Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun. In matters revolutions, it is increasingly being touted that the purpose dispensation will be the next biggest revolution. As such, the purpose economy is something that we need to consider. However, I have a theory. The purpose economy is not new. It is something old that we departed from as a human race. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Whether we like it or not, we are increasingly gravitating towards the purpose economy. This is the economy driven by our passions, gifts and talents, ideas and startups. The other economy has always been driven by education towards 'employability'. As it is, that is not working ever so increasingly. Things are changing. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Why do we work? When you answer this question, it will start explaining the philosophy behind what we do in order to get work. For instance, a huge percentage of humanity will go to school ostensibly to be "employable". As such our education system doesn't churn out people who can deal well with the growing needs of a purpose economy. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The just concluded series on the podcast focused on Work, and mostly the philosophy behind the work we do. Today, let's start talking about the purpose economy which in many ways affect the work that we do. Increasingly we are seeing that what used to work in the 90's is not going to help us anymore. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! When you have a wrong philosophy about work, you easily become prey to con artists because they will craft a pitch and sell you things that guarantee that you will not work but you will gain. At the heart of every con, there is someone who doesn't want to work, and doesn't want to honor time, processes and principles of maturity. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Why do we work? Why do we look for work? We know that the number one reason for going to school is so that we can be "employable". We go there so that we can raise our chances of getting a job. But have we sat down to think why we do work in the first place? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Some people go to lengths of using scriptures to declare that work is a curse, a toil, an unwelcome punishment. Their philosophy about life is that there should be comfort, coziness, enjoyment and such like things, but guess what, at no expense. In other words, their philosophy is that life should be devoid of work but filled with bliss. Listen to this.

🍾 New #Podcast!! There is such a thing as the philosophy of work. We identify our work and its proceeds from what we believe matters about the work itself. Frankly, each person has a different philosophy from the next person, but the biggest problem we have here is the sea of sameness. Listen to this.

🍾 New #Podcast!! Is it true that if you discovered your purpose, "You will never work another day in your life"? I contend that if we got our philosophy of work right, we will be saying that that statement is the exact opposite of the truth. So let's ask this question: would you work in your purpose where there is no pay?

📢 New #Podcast!! We need to talk about this. Why do we work? Why do we go to school? Probably, why do we live? You see, our philosophy affects our approach in life. In the series we are debunking the statement that "once you have discovered you purpose, you will never work another day in your life". That statement is a philosophy that we need to examine. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Motivation is important for humans. If anything, I do think that we are the only species God created who need motivation to make things happen. Other species use instinct and survival. You never saw lions attending a seminar...anyway. Some motivation statements can be a lie, and one of them is "Once you have discovered your purpose, you will never work another day in your life." Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Increasingly, people are being affected by mental health issues that result from participating in competitions. These could be for fun in sports or for serious things such as political elections. There will always be winners and losers. There will always be a moment of waiting, tense-filled nail biting moments where the winner or loser is not known. Here are a few ways we can all handle this stress, win or lose.

📢 New #Podcast!! That we daily engage in competitions is just a fact of life. Some of these competitions are for fun, but others have serious life transition implications. Winning or losing therefore at times can become a life or death proposition...but from the grand scheme of things, it might not be. Here is to the winners and how they can help with mental health issues coming out of competitions.

📢 New #Podcast!! Mental health issues related to competitions are increasingly taking a toll on people. They are being amplified in the sports world as well as in politics ever so increasingly. However, other forms of competitions in academia have always seen people lose. How can we learn to deal with the mental health stress issues related to these competitions? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Let's face it. There are lost of mental health related issues to come from participating in competitions. When we either enter a competition or align ourselves to support another team of person because of our values, there will be an inevitable outcome. Either a winner or a loser. This realization is critical in handling mental health issues. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! It's a paradox. We get stressed out because we care. People who are not sports fans cannot be stressed by Arsenal not winning the title. Why? Because they don't care. They don't have their hearts into it. People who don't give a hoot about Trump or Biden can't be stressed when either loses the presidential race. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Transitions in life are inevitable. Perhaps the area where most people go through these transitions is the area of careers. Victoria Ateenyi Nyanzi has been helping people to position themselves well in order to catalyze their career transitions through great branding principles on LinkedIn. This conversation highlighted those aspects. You will love it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I have said in this new series that we live in a dark, fallen world. Whether we like it or not, we will find ourselves participating in a form of competition or another and we shall inevitably fail at some point in time. We need to realize that such failings have an impact on our mental health. How do we navigate them? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Someone said, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn". It's just a fact of life. We are all steeped into different competitions at different junctures in our lives. Some of these competitions are institutionalized. The amazing thing is that we have not created structures to help mental health cases that come from losing a competition. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Looking at life critically, you realize that we are involved in many competitions. We are told that even before birth, there is a rush of millions of sperms to fertilize an egg. Competitions mark our lives all through...and the unfortunate thing is that for many competitions, there are losers. How do we handle that? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We live in a fallen black world. That the world is unfair is not a lamentation. It is a fact. Then, we have to contend with the fact that we are limited in many ways and are also imperfect. Still, we have goals, desires, dreams, wishes and visions to fulfill. How do we handle all that? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We have to be prepared psychologically for some things. Even as we are talking about us being limited and having imperfections, when we get started at something we are passionate about, one way or another, we have to anticipate some setbacks. Things might get worse before they get better. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! So now that we are aware that our limitations and imperfections cannot stand on our way, we also need to be aware that they might not go away entirely. They will always be there with us. So if we are pursuing our goals and dreams, starting is critical, but keeping going is another ball game altogether. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Life is full of transitions. James Abola after more than a decade leading Akamai Global and being an entrepreneur, he transitioned into full time employment with the Government. I wanted to catch up with him and break down his transition so as to learn why he did it and what we can learn from it. Here is the how the conversation went.
