Ep. 103 | When the Solution Becomes the Problem, with Dr. Mike Barnes

Andrew Petty is Dying

I met in 2018, when I served as executive coach for the leadership at the , the addiction treatment center here in Steamboat Springs, CO, where he served as Clinical Director. My respect and appreciation for Mike grew quickly in the course of that partnership, built especially upon Mike’s willingness to learn from anything and anyone–despite the long alphabet salad of credentials behind his name and his position of esteem in the addiction treatment, trauma, and family therapy community. Since then, our paths have continued to cross, and I’ve continued to benefit greatly from his...

Ep. 100 | A Confession, Wisdom from the Farm, and What I Really Mean by "Get After It"

Andrew Petty is Dying

In a hurry? Like me, you might do well to tap into some wisdom from the farm. On this episode, I offer a confession en route to extracting some wisdom from the farm that applies to all of us if we’re willing to hear it. I also offer what I suspect is a much-needed clarification of what I mean by “get after it”--the phrase with which I close my standard episode sign-off. If you’re often in a hurry and “get after it” only makes it worse, be sure to stay tuned in to the end of this episode. Remember: You ARE going to die. But you’re not dead yet. So get after it!...

Ep. 099 | How to Stay Positive and Free from Fear when the News is Overwhelmingly Bad and Fear-based

Andrew Petty is Dying

How can we stay positive and free from fear when the news is overwhelmingly bad and fear-based? I got this topic idea in the form of a question from a good friend and a former guest on this show, Frederic Tate. You can find him on Ep. 056 . Frederic’s a fascinating guy with a fascinating story. I thoroughly enjoyed that interview, and I wholeheartedly recommend that episode. Frederic's experience is that it is difficult to stay positive and free from fear when he perceives the news to be overwhelmingly bad and fear-based. Many of you can relate. It is a wild time to be alive on planet...

Andrew Petty is Dying

Do you ever feel powerless against your hurts, hang-ups, and habits? Chris Ray's hurts, hang-ups, and habits literally killed him.

If we have the courage to add Action to our Insights, we can experience transformation, too. I met Chris through a mutual friend...
