11/07/2020 Duración: 16minNew sponsor! Brought to you by Seek Style, a fresh online store bringing you the best products from all over the world at AMAZING prices :) The world seems to be losing its mind on the requirement to wear a mask during this pandemic.

Perhaps it is the rise and diffusion of social media influence, but it may just be good old fashioned pride at work here. In this episode were to talk about some logical approaches to the mask issue in hopes that we can hopefully find a way forward that encourages people to mask up in public settings without anyone feeling as though their individual rights had been trampled upon. For me personally, I don't have a problem wearing a mask but I also respect the right of the individual to make that choice. I also respect the rights and businesses to refuse service to anyone who doe

Episode 35: Suffering
08/06/2020 Duración: 11min"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." - Friedrich Nietzsche Celebrated Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl (March 26, 1905–September 2, 1997) remains best-known for his indispensable 1946 psychological memoir Man’s Search for Meaning - a meditation on what the gruesome experience of Auschwitz taught him about the primary purpose of life: the quest for meaning, which sustained those who survived. For Frankl, meaning came from three possible sources: purposeful work, love, and courage in the face of difficulty. As I attempt to understand his writing, I offer this short podcast episode. My hope is that you can find purpose in your suffering so that you not only survive, but thrive in your current circumstance. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bluecollarconsultinggroup/message
