THANK YOU and 2022 Re-Cap

Foreign. Welcome to the Meaningful Revolution podcast. I am your host and certified high performance coach, Sean Butner. And this is the podcast where we help you live into your personal, meaningful revolution by interviewing people about what they nerd about, obsess about to help inspire you to live into what you love. So this is going to be the last podcast of 2022, which is pretty amazing. And looking back at the year, I just wanted to first start off with some gratitude because it's been amazing hearing from you all. It's been seeing some of you out in the real world, say how the podcast has impacted you, whether that's to start a journaling practice or to show more appreciation or to really consider how they're living their life. And, you know, that's. Those are those magic moments where it makes things a little bit more real when it's not just some guy talking to his computer and maybe another human being. Sometimes I think the best episodes have been a lot of the interviews. And so, you know, I think as the state of the podcast goes, you know, having started in August, having, you know, had a weekly release since then, every Thursday in the morning has been super fun and gratifying. And then knowing that it's, it's impacting people because that's what it matters. So when we talk about, you know, so we hope to inspire you to have your personal, meaningful revolution, what does that really mean? Well, if we break down meaningful revolution, meaningful in what I'm, how I define it, it's just something you find fulfilling, something you find purposeful, something you find authentic, right? So meaningful tasks, meaningful endeavors, meaningful goals, all those types of things should be part of everyone's life. In my belief, Revolution for me is just a radical transformation at the very end of the day. So it could be, you know, that having that revolution could have that impact in your communities and the people around you, and having an authentic movement or, you know, living into your full alignment of your true self. So, you know, really what we want is that fulfilling transformation in your life. And, you know, there's a lot of different ways that can go about. There's a lot of different reasons why people don't lean into what they find meaningful more. Some of it very practical, right? You have obligations, you have family you're responsible to. And so it's noble to do the job that you don't love so that your family can thrive, right? So that's not a dispute. It's not this, you know, blindly, like, super positive, nothing bad ever happens things. It's a belief and way of living where you can find your authentic self in those struggles. And that's something that's really impacted me in my life. You know, growing up, my mom had breast cancer. Later on, she had complications years and years and years later from that treatment where her organs were shutting down after some heart surgery. And, like, throughout that, she was always trying to find the funny, make it fun, you know, reminding us that we'd look back and laugh at these terrible situations for kind of how ridiculous sometimes it can be. So I really look to that in life, you know, and we've all had a really hard couple of years, and, you know, the economy is still super uncertain, so we're going into another year of potential uncertainty and pain. And my challenge to you, my hope for you, is that in spite of all those headwinds, that you can find a sense of joy, a sense of inner peace, a sense of emotional freedom, because you're working on and working towards those things that matter to you that really are helping fill your heart with a capacity to handle the struggle that's coming on. So that's, I guess, a little bit of the philosophy, but I just wanted to end with that definition because it's also been a year of trying to figure that out and this space. So that's the meaningful revolution. I wanted to also thank all the guests, you know, doing a little bit of analysis and because I have spreadsheets upon spreadsheets for. For this podcast, just kind of to help organize and when I do copy and stuff for all the episodes. But I. I feel like we're talking about meaningful revolutions. There's generally been five different buckets, and I'm looking down at my notes here. Five different buckets of folks that were on the podcast this year. And so that's people who talked about mindset, people who talked about just better living, people who talked about connecting with people, people who talked about business and leadership, and then the folks who talked about health and wellness. So in no particular order, big shout out. So in mindset, you know, we talked with Mike Seeley about having that performance mindset, you know, being able to flip the switch and really kick it into gear when you wanted to. So thank you, Michael, for being on this year. Patricia Tommen, about facing your fear dragons, who, as a big nerd, I really thoroughly enjoyed that conversation. So big ups to Patrick. Patricia, shout out to you. Sherry Reichert, Blue, of course, talking about celebrating each moment, treating it as precious, because it really is with her touching story. So thanks, Sherry. And then Elisa Bingley talking About, you know, just. Yeah, her story was just so, so great. So if you haven't listened to any of those episodes, definitely go back, download them and check it out. In the living bucket, you know, big shout out to Nicole Sugihara, who talked about rituals, especially in uncertain times. And, you know, I think if you're paying attention, they're all uncertain times. So I think these processes, these rituals, these things that help us center can help us show up in the world. Of course, we had Dara Brady, who talked about creating things and building community as you built things, which I thought was a really great takeaway. So thank you. And then Moxie Emanuel about being accountable for how you feel and how you show up in the world with his accountability culture or accountable culture. So shout out there. Okay. In the connecting bucket, my guy James Holkrin talked about creating moments when you're trying to move people into action, like in teaching. We had Majeed Karam, who, you know, wrote his book about being the positive influence in your communities after living through a very troubled time in Lebanon with civil war, which is really amazing. Go check out his book. We had Sequoia Hall. We talked in general about community and politics and how, you know, his philosophy on that. But I thought it was really great to show that, you know, there are people that really care about how things work. And it's not bad. It's just. I'll need input. So shout out to Sequoia Patrick Mosher, talking about storytelling, one of the fundamental skills, I think, of human beings and conveying information and wisdom, or wisdom packets, as he called it. So it was so great to think about stories in a different way. And I know I've been. I've taken what we talked about and have really tried to apply it into telling more stories here on this podcast in the business and leadership, you know, Emmanuel George, shout out to you, my man. Talking about leadership in pharmacy and really about identifying those blind spots. We had Jimmy Bradbury. Thanks, man. For talking about quitting your 9 to 5 to start a passion project that helps provide for your family. We had Trisha De, the mom mastermind and someone who again, took a leadership position with a problem that she identified and I think is really super, great work. And then Kristen Ekins, again, thank you so much for your talk about exponential inclusion. But really, I think in that particular talk, that that sense of curiosity for life is so vital to navigating a world where there's uncertainty. So if we're talking about that, but it was just a great conversation, so check it out. And then finally in the wellness bucket, health bucket, we had Carrie Petrie and Aaron Hurley and Natalie Fossbauer. Big shout out to y' all. And, you know, big shout out. You know, I could go into and recap each of these podcasts, but every single one of them was super fun and super great to connect with. And I recommend if you haven't heard any of these and you're struggling in one of these buckets or want to learn more, definitely go back into the podcast and check those episodes out. Some of the unspoken heroes or unspoken people on the podcast, they put that in air quote, air quotes on the podcast. You know, mutual mentor who I know a lot of these folks through is Brendan Burchard. And so, you know, I was part of a mastermind with him where, you know, during that mastermind, the idea for this podcast came out. So big shout out to you, brother. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks for, you know, being a good example of how to put good out in the world and be very inspiring. So shout out to him. There's so many other people to thank. Like, again, I could not have done any of this without the support of my wife, Ashley. So, babe, thank you so much for believing in me. Even when times I was pulling out my hair trying to figure out stuff again. It's so much easier when you have the people around you cheering you on. And for that, I am ever in your debt. But I love you forever too, so maybe that's the same thing. I, I really don't know. But. So, folks, that's kind of a really high summary of this year. There's a lot of really exciting things coming next year that I can't wait to share with y'. All. First and foremost, there'll be a running at one point, a running personal revolution challenge, which I'm really excited for. The first one's going to be at the beginning of January.
