Chris Tuff is the national bestselling author of The Millennial Whisperer. His perspective on millennials, and his ability to understand and inspire them, is what earned him the title. To me, the millennial discussion a is a discussion about the future of humanity.

"Millennials aren’t the problem, they just expose the problem.” It’s important that we recognize the value of awareness and the opportunity to innovate, connect, and solve problems more creatively. That’s a gift we need to steward wisely.

1. Ask yourself the question, "What does the environment mean to you?"
2. 1. Think about the emotions, feelings, etc. that come up with that question.
   2. What do you value about the environment around you?
3. Think of something you could do to act on that value. 
4. 1. Not the biggest thing, just a simple step that is in line with your values. 
   2. Once one small thing you could do today?
5. Make it a SMART Goal (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time Bound)
6. 1. It should be specific, like a type of plastic, or packaging, or something like that. 
   2. It should have a timeline on it. 
7. Create some form of accountability for making it happen. 
8. 1. Tell someone what you’re doing and commit to doing it in a specific way in a specific time period. 
   2. Design your own ways of reminding yourself of your values so you can hold fast to them. 

Frank White is a Space Philosopher, author, and Instructor at the Harvard Extension School. He published the first edition of The Overview Effect in 1987 and I read it about a decade ago. Years later, a short documentary was created, called Overview, to articulate the essence of the book. A few years later they created a full documentary, called Planetary that expanded on the nature and opportunity of the Overview Effect. 

• What (not who) is God?
• What is sin? (or at least what does that Christian reference refer to?)
• What is the opposite of love?
• The role of the mind and our thoughts. 
• And… What’s the meaning of life? 

Every year I take the months of November and December to deconstruct my identity and my brands and refine and improve them. I always use this time to sort of reinvent myself and get clear about what I want to experience in the next year. I take time to write out my New Years Intentions and I set those intentions every day of that following year. It’s part of my morning and evening routines. I’m grateful for what I experienced last year and eager to experience all the wonder and adventures this next year will bring into my life. This episode is not only the first for this new year, it’s also the launch of the new show brand and format. I explain the reason for the relaunch and what to expect from the new show and a bit about our new and growing community here in San Diego and the more formalized “tribe” that is growing out of that community. I think “wonder is our medicine” and I’m excited to share with you the story behind the new show.
