In order to take your emotional health and self-awareness journey seriously, you must be willing to let other things go.
As authentic leadership consultants, Adrian and Bri admit that their way of doing things is uncomfortable for most individuals.
Why? Because most aren’t willing to lean into temporary pain and instead often settle to temporarily alleviate anxiety if it sacrifices genuine progress.
In the preceding episode, we observed an inclination towards avoiding pain, evident both at the individual and societal levels.
As we seek comfort and security, our journeys often veer away from discomfort, challenges, and potential adversities.
The prevailing pattern of evading pain, should it continue unchecked, poses the potential to hinder our authentic progress.
At New Rules, we exist to launch authentic individuals who create credible cultures.
In Episode 32, we dive deeper into what hinders people and organizations from becoming authentically who they are.
We’ll discuss:
How to remain present
The importance of community
We alleviating anxiety immediately hinders long term progress
You can’t effectively journey alone when growing in emotional intelligence
Sacrificing for a season, in order to reach a long-term goal

We have witnessed a notable shift towards an aversion to pain at both the individual and societal levels.
In our quest for comfort and security, we often find ourselves navigating paths that steer clear of discomfort, challenges, and potential sources of adversity.
This trend towards pain avoidance, if allowed to persist unchecked, carries the risk of impeding our authentic development as a society.
In Episode 31, hosts Adrian and Bri discuss the the symptoms of pain avoidance, the risks associated, and the nuances between.
Gen Z has learned to live with apps that seem to ‘hack’ life
“How do I get through things with the least amount of pain possible?”
We will miss out on things if we avoid hard times

Wisdom is ‘applied knowledge’
We are entering a period of a lack of wisdom

Is resilience a gift or a curse?
We must first define what it truly means to be resilient and identify the ways that culture has misrepresented what it means.
Resilience, a term that is often used in the context of facing life's adversities and challenges, prompts a deep examination regarding its nature and impact on individuals.
In Episode 29 of the New Rules Podcast, we take a practical look into how being resilient can be the most challenging, yet rewarding component of our lives.
We’ll examine:
How coming back to your authentic form is the true definition of resilience
Why our culture is prone to lack resilience
The importance of knowing your values
Choosing a life surrounding what’s important to you
The importance of checking your motives throughout daily life
Why you must face reality in order to grow from experiences

Just as an ordinary 'signature' serves as a distinctive mark of an individual's name on an item, situation, or event, our lives also leave unique "emotional signatures” on the ones around us
Emotional imprints are intricately intertwined with our internal character and personal experiences, shaping our responses and reactions to the world around us.
These emotional signatures are the sum of our joys, sorrows, triumphs, and tribulations, creating a mosaic of emotional patterns that define our individuality. They guide our interactions, decisions, and perceptions, ultimately leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of our lives.
In Episode 28 of The New Rules Podcast, we dive into not only what makes us unique, but how we leave our mark on those around us.
We’ll examine:
How Adrian’s wife, Wendy, provided relentless consistency in his life
How not being satisfied with life can help you make exponential progress
How ‘emotional signatures’ impact others - not just yourself
Why it’s your responsibility to understand your emotional triggers
The struggle of leading others in an unbiased way

In the midst of war, an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) is strategically placed to cause physical harm toward an enemy.
In the same way, our traumatic experiences can plant “Emotional I.E.D’s” into our lives, without us ever being aware of their existence.
From childhood all the way through adult life, there is constant stress on us as individuals.
On top of ordinary pain, we are destined to experience some form of extraordinary hardship that forces us to confront reality.
These painful experiences plant Emotional I.E.D’s to ‘protect us’ - and now we must do the hard work of unearthing these dangerous explosives before they explode onto us and our relationships.
In Today’s Episode, We’ll examine:
• How Adrian is learning to overcome his childhood fears
• Why it is so easy to fall into ‘fear-centered’ parenting

Do you know where you come from? Where are you at? Where are you going?
These three questions may seem simple, but they are perhaps the most vital questions you can ask yourself on the journey to discovering your authentic self.
Emotional intelligence is the engine of a well-oiled enterprise, the heartbeat of a healthy individual and the compass to an authentic leader.
So, why is authentic leadership so rare in today’s world?
In Episode 25, Adrian and Bri examine how our culture has programmed us to not properly process our stories to know where we come from to be able to clearly see where we are and where we want to go.
We’ll examine:
How our upbringing shapes us as adults
How we disconnect from our pain in order to survive
Why pain and suffering is our greatest catalyst for growth
Why codependent and narcissistic leaders are actually more similar than you’d think
Leaning on emotional intelligence, even when it is unpopular
Join us as we discuss practical application for emotional intelligence, and how to leverage this newfound information to lead a healthier life.

We’ve all been given the promise of hope - for a better life, an answer to our grievances, and an ease on our societal pressures.
In the last episode, we explored how these promises were often empty - a disguise for another agenda which ended up hindering our progress.

Hope is not just a buzzword, it’s a vital principle necessary for human flourishing.
Without it, societies could not progress, individuals could not persevere, and purpose would be an afterthought.
So, what happens when we embrace hopelessness as an ideology as a means to cope with the world around us?
In Episode 23 of the New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri examine “Hope I Can Believe In” and the cost of underdelivering on a promise to create monumental change.
We’ll examine:
Humans natural tendency to drift towards a utopian mindset
False promises of “change” and hope

Information is coming at us from all sides. Consuming information these days can be compared to trying to drink water from a fire hydrant.
Access points into our lives are everywhere. To what extent do these “access points” affect how we conduct ourselves on a daily basis? Do we ever slow down to evaluate our intake? Asking ourselves why we choose to consume the content we do, and evaluate what value it brings?
We mindlessly scroll through social media, but how many apps a day? We listen to our favorite podcasts, but how many are there? With the digital revolution and microwave-culture calling the shots– our ability to regulate these points of entry is getting harder by the minute.
In Episode 21 of the New Rules Podcast, we examine this concept of access points through relationships, work, media, and beyond.
We’ll examine:
We have so many access points, we can’t ‘keep the doors shut’
The growing misconception of ‘lack of resilience’ within Gen Z and how they might not be as “coddled” as what is believed
Access has grown faster than we could possibly adapt to in a healthy way
Relationships are important access points that are often overlooked as such, that can shape us, both good and bad.
Having too many access points can be extremely overwhelming - and without proper boundaries, will lead to loneliness, despair, and crisis.
Join Adrian and Bri as they examine the proper way to evaluate and cope with access points in work, life, and beyond.

Many times, we assume that we must be a corporate leader, owner, or in a position of power in order to claim ‘ownership’ over our meaningful work.
However, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
In fact, if you adopt an ownership mentality- as an employee, a parent, or even a friend, it can transform your life in a positive way.
In Episode 20 of the New Rules Podcast, we examine this principle of ownership inside and out of the workplace.
We’ll examine:
Why should you declare ownership if you don’t have a stake in a workplace?
Would you rather have an ownership-minded individual or a skilled individual as an employee for your organization?
Adopting ownership in your home and avoiding an egotistical way of thinking
How an ownership-driven mindset is an unparalleled key to success in work, life, and beyond
Join Adrian and Bri as they challenge us to examine your own life and if you are taking enough ownership in the places and spaces that you inhabit!

We all want to separate ourselves from the pack, but how do we define what makes us different from the rest?
In Episode 19 of The New Rules Podcast, we delve into the concept of being "One of One" and embracing our authentic selves. When we understand our positive and negative traits, we can leverage our strengths to better ourselves and the world around us.
In this episode, we'll discuss:

- How do you influence the world around you in a way that only you can?
Action vs Intention
