Right Here! Right Now!
RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! is a brand new podcast where we remind you that being present and mindful in each of our moments is the only way to truly be able to learn. And from LEARNING comes GROWTH! A true transformation into our most authentic selves. The mindset is that we must be present and looking for the lesson in what we are experiencing - day to day; moment to moment. And one of the primary purposes of learning and growth is to take us to places we did not think were possible and to prepare us for a challenge that will make us better human beings; or the lives of our families better; even to help our colleagues and those in our charge better. Sometimes the challenges are known - so many times the challenges are a bit of a surprise. As long as we see the challenge as an opportunity, we will learn from them and carry on to better places down a path lined with lessons and teachings. We recognize in this philosophy that we have the capacity - even the responsibility - to begin again - and your NEW beginning starts RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!

Sometimes the most powerful step forward begins with a pause.
In this special interlude episode of Right Here! Right Now!, we invite listeners to slow down and integrate the insights from the first half of Season 5. Instead of rushing ahead, this episode offers a moment to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper themes shaping the season - perhaps shaping our experiences.
Across the first six episodes, we explored the interna...
In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of embracing both work and play as interconnected aspects of life, inspired by a timeless quote from Francois Auguste Rene Chateaubriand. The idea of fully immersing oneself in any endeavor—whether it’s labor or leisure—creates a space where the distinction between work and play fades, allowing us to approach life with a sense of wonder and creativity.
We reflect on how this min...
What if "happiness" isn’t the goal?
What if mattering the mission?
In this deeply reflective episode of Right Here! Right Now!, we explore how fitting in, belonging, and mattering shape our lives, our relationships, and our resilience.
Because belonging welcomes you…
But mattering changes everything.

Change doesn’t just alter our circumstances.
It confronts our identity, challenges our illusion of control, and invites us to evolve from who we believe we are toward why we are.
In this episode, we explore how we can shift our relationship with change — especially the unwanted and unforeseen kind — from resistance to revelation.
Drawing inspiration from Stoic philosophy, modern neuroscience, Adam Grant’s work on belief flexibility, a...
Just in time for Valentine's ♥ Day, we are talking love! And we will be talking about a special and perhaps a not so popular type of love...a love that is vital to being able to live a life filled with an abundance of more fulfilling love...a love that we must start to be more comfortable with…a love that, we will come to learn, is critical to being able to love better and more deeply and more genuinely!
The love that we will b...
Control vs. Agency: Where Freedom Really Lives
What are we truly in control of in our lives—and where does real agency begin?
In this episode of Right Here, Right Now, we explore the deeply human tension between control and agency, especially in the face of change, loss, uncertainty, and the thoughts that often feel like they run our lives.
Through reflections on internal and external locus of control, mindfulness, Stoic wisd...
What if real change doesn’t begin with a resolution, but with a decision about who you are becoming?
In this episode of Right Here, Right Now, we step beyond the familiar “New Year, New You” cycle and into something far more sustainable: identity-based change rooted in presence.
Using insights from psychology, mindfulness, and James Clear’s Atomic Habits, this episode explores why so many resolutions fade quickly and how lasting tran...
What if purpose isn’t something to chase, but something to remember?
In this episode of Right Here, Right Now, we explore the inner journey from purpose to meaning to mission—and how presence is the bridge that turns intention into lived reality.
Through reflections, neuroscience, philosophy, and lived experience, this episode invites listeners to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what truly matters.
In this moment open up ...
What if the way you experience the world isn’t determined by what happens to you — but by what your brain allows you to notice?
In this Season 5 premiere of Right Here, Right Now, we explore the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — the powerful attentional filter in the brain that shapes what reaches conscious awareness and what fades into the background.
By weaving together modern neuroscience, Viktor Frankl’s insight on the space be...
Hope part II we dive into the interplay between hope and purpose and how hope fuels our purpose; and purpose sustains hope. Purpose-driven hope helps us navigate life’s challenges and celebrate its triumphs. And we look to learn and have the capacity to embrace the journey over the destination:
- The joy of navigation and the lessons from detours.
- Avoiding rigid expectations to cultivate our resilience.
We look to introduce pra...

The Nature of Hope
Hope will be presented as a belief that the future can be better, coupled with t...

Through perhaps our greatest virtue of curiosity - a deep held passion for the desire to understand what we seem to not be able to comprehend or make sense of in the world we live in - comes this particular outline of lessons that I continue to learn. A continuous process of thinking and questioning and reflecting and more questioning as possibly one day deeper insight may come. Leading to wisdom…the act of putting it all together ...
