Could the essence of love be more than heart-shaped boxes and red roses? Let's unravel the commercial facade and discover the profound connections that elevate our daily lives. In this special episode with fan-favorite guest, Rosie Acosta, we take you on a journey through the true meanings of love, from self-love's deeper layers to the resilience found in long-standing relationships. We'll confront societal pressures, debunk myths about the so-called perfect partnership, and celebrate the authentic love that unites our community. Step away from the expected and celebrate Valentine's Day by embracing love in its many forms, including the most important love story of all: the one you have with yourself.
Rosie rejoins Ruben to explain why long-term love isn't always roses and champagne; it's an action that demands 100% of what we can give. Rosie dissects what it means to love over the years, tackling the crucial aspects of communication and conflict resolution. She shares insights on keeping the flames of love alive, even when they flicker, and how mutual effort rather than a 50/50 split can lead to a more fulfilling connection.
In the intricate dance of dating and relationships, anticipation meets reality, and love's checklist gets a rewrite. The episode delves into the comical yet telling tale of a date with a checklist, prompting us to question the rigidity of our own criteria for love. We'll talk about how love languages evolve and the vital art of letting go, seeing love not as a possession but as a journey of shared growth and evolution.
How does Rosie live through love? âBy being compassionate; desiring for the suffering of others to end. If I have a desire for your suffering to end, that's me living in my fullest expression of love.â
âLove is not about possession but about mutual growth and evolutionâa concept that love itself is ever-changing and endlessly fascinating.â - Rosie Acosta

The journey of self-discovery and self-love can be long and difficult, but it is ultimately rewarding and transformative.-----

Humble is back in the studio to brainstorm with Ruben about how we can create and amplify a culture of love through the discomfort, fear, and difficulty of life. He shares wisdom on how to stop taking the easy road (because it doesnât get you anywhere), reverse your limiting beliefs, and get out of a scarcity mindset and into a LOVE mindset.
Humble joins Ruben to remind you to be aware that chasing convenience and easiness will not lead to growth. Leaning into the discomfort and difficulty of life will unlock your potential, your ability to evolve, and a higher sense of self-respect.
Are you choosing to be held hostage by fears and imaginary situations that may or may not happen? Itâs time to commit to your mission, share your talents and gifts, and do what you can to amplify this culture of love weâre creating. This life isnât a dress rehearsal. Thereâs no do overs.
How does Humble live through Love? "Living a life of letting go of all that extra weight, baggage that you are aware of, and then doing the work to discover all the additional thousand pounds of baggage that's not aware of.â - Humble
âThis isnât an infomercial to sell a dream or an idea. Itâs reconciling ideas that we might have lost because we live in such a fast-paced, distracting world that does not incentivize this type of living.â âHumble

Live From the Future: This podcast highlights the importance of operating from the future, not just living in it. Dr. Hardy explains that we need to connect with our future selves and let this image guide our current decisions and actions. This means setting clear goals for the future, and letting these objectives determine what we say yes or no to in the present. Pursue Impossible Goals: The episode emphasizes the transformative power of pursuing seemingly impossible goals. Moving from wishing to taking action can lead to significant personal growth and development. This involves being honest with ourselves, confronting our fears, and taking risks. Reframe the Past: Dr. Hardy underscores the significance of reframing past experiences, especially traumatic ones. While we can't change the past, we can change how we perceive it and define it. Enhance Psychological Flexibility: The podcast also discusses the concept of psychological flexibility, which can help us navigate between our past, present, and future. By mastering our past and future, we can allow our future to dictate our present.-----
âRecognize that you can learn from your past. You're not defined by it, but also it takes huge flexibility to actually reframe. If you're constantly reframing your relationship to your past, present, and future, then you're going to be very flexible in the present.â - Benjamin Hardy

Ready to be captivated by the art of resilience and power of creativity? Our guest, Jason Mayden, takes us on an journey through the intersection of design and culture. We step into a realm where self-determination fuels the potential of our youth and the power of servitude and its role as an act of altruistic rebellion, and its significance in a culture of love.
Jason joins Ruben to explore the complexities of resilience and self-acceptance, unraveling their role in shaping our relationship with ourselves and others. Drawing lessons from the life of Michael Jordan, Jason dives deep into the power of divine providence in shaping our destiny and what it was like working side-by-side with one of the greatest champions of all time.
Jason offers unique insights into the misunderstandings surrounding design and its potential as an asset class. We take a look at the advantages of the barter system, the importance of self-assessment, and how learning technical language can boost creativity. Lastly, we reflect on the importance of fostering a culture of love and the power of pivoting in the face of challenges.
How does Jason live through love? âUnconditional love requires me to let go and forgive a lot. The way that we're mostly oppressed is through anchoring ourselves or tethering ourselves to the spirit of offense. And once you allow the world to offend you now you get walking around with justifications for your anger and your rage and everything is just like well, yeah, of course. And that just robs you of your ability to contribute to the tapestry of humanity.â
"To pull something from your imagination and to have the audacity to put it into the real world. Repeatedly Like it takes a certain amount of youthfulness, it takes a certain amount of resilience, it takes a certain amount of self-determination, because you constantly have to fight against your insecurities in order to keep producing." - Jason Mayden

Significance of Love and Restraint: The episode discusses the power of divine providence and how our creative endeavors can shape our destinies, highlighting the importance of delayed gratification, unconditional love, and the strength in exercising restraint.-----
"Design for me is not the act of creativity, it's the questions we ask. Designers ask the best questions and if you ask the right question you can get an answer that helps the most amount of people.â - Jason Mayden

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain? Let's be honest, we all have our vices and, in a sense, we're all addicts. This week, we sit down with Mike Diamond, an interventionist and author who shook things up by challenging us to reframe our perception of addiction. From the search for new highs to the aversion of lows, we uncovered the universal human struggle, reflecting on Buddha's principle of balance as a potential path to love and enlightenment.
Mike joins Ruben to crack open the concept of mastery, taking a hard look at how sitting in silence, acknowledging our weaknesses and committing to daily progress are key to achieving it. We challenged the notion of 'average' and explored the power of unconscious competence - the point when your skill becomes a deeply ingrained habit.
Lastly, we turned our hearts to empathy, compassion, and the art of meeting people where they are - labels, definitions and all. Drawing inspiration from Robert Downey Jr's transformative journey, we dove into the importance of reframing our past experiences to better our present relationships. We even dissected the dangers of toxic positivity, the power of micro-wins, and the impact of our past experiences on our current relationships. So, if you're ready for a conversation full of love, vulnerability, and enlightenment, tune in.
How does Mike live through love? âYou can't give love if you don't love yourself. So I always work on myself, first take responsibility for how I choose to think, how I choose to feel and how I choose to act, and then I make sure I come in a critic and I'm kind to myself. And by being kind to myself, and you know being being a good person, then I can put love out into the world.â
"The purpose of this experience is to find out your purpose, to be of value to people that helps them reach their potential⊠To find peace, love and be better to people." - Mike Diamond
