Purpose is not defined by what we do, but by how we show up to life’s callings—whether in moments of fear, effort, or surrender. In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Joe and Brett lead us on a journey to uncover what it means to live with purpose. Not as something to be found, but as something to be recognized. Together, they unpack the myths surrounding purpose, challenging the notion that it is an external destination and reframing it as an inherent part of how we live.
They examine:

In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Brett and Joe take us on a poignant journey through the inevitability of death and the profound ways it shapes the experience of life. At the center of their conversation is Brett’s brother, facing a terminal diagnosis, and the extraordinary lessons his life—and the process of his dying—have imparted.
Through anecdotes of BASE jumping, near-death experiences, and profound loss, Brett and Joe explore the paradox of mortality: the closer you are to death, the more vividly you taste life.
Brett and Joe examine:
The power of mortality: How facing the truth of our impermanence can compress life into moments of unparalleled sweetness.The freedom in letting go: Why the stories we tell ourselves about success, identity, and purpose often crumble in the face of death.A life well lived: Brett reflects on his brother’s choice to "dive into his family" and redefine what it means to truly live.Lessons from the edge: Stories of BASE jumping and near-death experiences that reveal the peace and clarity often found in moments of extreme vulnerability.The opportunity of goodbye: How acknowledging the fleeting nature of life can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections.As the conversation unfolds, a clear and steady message emerges: death, far from being an endpoint, is a profound teacher. It forces us to confront what matters most, stripping away the trivial and leaving only the raw truth of our existence.

There’s an elephant in the room! Everyone KNOWS there’s an elephant in the room, and they keep glancing at it—except for one person who is highly committed to ignoring the elephant. The elephant is making a mess. It’s taking up all the air and space in the room, and it’s already crushed poor Bob. Yet instead of talking about the elephant in the room, people are afraid to mention that there’s an elephant. Some people get so uncomfortable that they leave the room, but still say nothing. Everyone is hoping that the person who is ignoring the elephant will finally acknowledge it, so they can do something about it, but they aren’t sure how to go about it.
In this episode, Brett and Joe unpack the phenomenon of the elephant in the room. They explore:
The dynamics that create this situationHow looking directly at these issues can lead to healing and growthThe importance of addressing difficult topics in both personal and professional settingsHow to create a culture where individuals feel safe to express their thoughts and feelingsThe need for leaders to model this behaviorThe significance of conflict in fostering trust and connectionSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community!

Most people never consider that fighting can be a useful and healthy practice for our relationships — and that “fighting well” is a skill that can be learned. We resist conflict until it builds up and we reach a breaking point, and then BAM! Our trauma runs the show and we risk re-traumatizing ourselves and others.
In this episode, Joe and Brett talk about how to fight well. They explore how:
• Healthy fighting can actually lead to healing, growth, and deeper connection
• The importance of speaking your truth
• What to NOT do during fights
• The empowerment of a good fight
• When to walk away (and how)
• When a fight is no longer worth fighting

Our idea of failure and how we respond to it dramatically shapes our identity and, consequently, how we live our lives. When we fear failure as an end-all-be-all rather than viewing it as an opportunity to learn and iterate, it can significantly hinder our personal growth, creativity, and ability to reach our full potential. In this episode, Brett and Joe explore the transformative power of embracing failure as part of life's journey. They discuss:
• How shifting focus from outcomes to effort can lead to unexpected and remarkable results
• Strategies for reframing failure as a stepping stone to success
• Real-life examples of how embracing what we think of as “failure” leads to better results and breakthroughs
Joe refers to the work of Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a Harvard neuroscientist who studies the link between the habenula, our ability to stay motivated when fear of failure strikes, and how to overcome this part of our brain to stay on track with our goals.

We’ve all experienced passive aggression and can often spot it when it happens to us. Whether we’re on the receiving end or dishing it out, our unowned anger seeps out of us and gets displayed in sometimes unexpected ways. In this episode, Joe and Brett get into the nitty gritty of passive aggression—what it is, how it comes up, some of the myriad ways it can present itself, and the impact it has on our relationships and morale. They also examine what it looks like to be passive aggressive to oneself, the cultural normalizing of passive aggression, and how to respond to it when it arises.

Stephanie Harrison is an expert in the science of happiness and the creator of the New Happy philosophy. She has a master’s degree in positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she was later an instructor, and was previously the Director of Learning at Thrive Global, leading the development of science-based programs that improve well-being.
