In this episode I address our drive to improve. If you didn’t have that drive, you wouldn’t be listening now. You want to improve. Better yourself. And the point is getting better results from your life and more joy and fulfillment in your soul. Yet we can fall into the trap of striving and striving and never being ok with ourselves right now. As we humans tend to do, we polarize and are prone to constantly, exhaustively pushing to improve and often just being disappointed in ourselves and...

I want to help you, and me, be aware that our brain is programmed to take everything that happens during our day, every source of input, and immediately run it through a filter of self-protection. And we don’t get our authentic selves from it. I saw a post recently that said “Awakening is not changing who we are, but discarding who we are not.” Our natural, self-protective selves are not our authentic selves. The point, much of our drive, in everything, everyday, is self-protection. This is...

What if most or all of your feelings were actually vibrations? And what you vibe with, is a similar frequency that you resonate with. And what feels off is a vibe you don’t resonate with? No right or wrong, but recognizing a tangible way to understand why some environments, circumstances, and people, feel good or bad to you? This has become a powerful understanding and tool to help me surround myself more, with vibes that match my frequency, and from that, I stay charged longer, and I tightly...

I've forever had my paradigm shifted with a new category of attributes. What are attributes? They are inherent qualities you possess. We all do. And they inform everything we do. Here is the story. Rich Diviney spent 20 years as a Navy SEAL, completing more than a dozen overseas deployments, eleven in Iraq and Afghanistan. He went on to be intimately involved in a specialized SEAL selection process to look for elite performers amongst the already elite SEAL members. He found himself often...

As your body is the physical vehicle for all you do here on earth, this episode is about having it in great working order. As we continue to look at the best foods to fuel our bodies, we now turn to fat. Most of grew up where fat was the enemy, so everything went to no fat or zero fat and we Americans got…fatter. As quoted by the NCBI, National Center for Biotechnology Information: The prevalence of obesity changed relatively little during the 1960s and 1970s, but it increased sharply over...

Friends, this is a conviction I’m frustrated by and hopeful with. We are all wanting to better ourselves. We want it so we think differently and act differently and get better results. This is what fulfills us, and it’s what serves others best. So we truly want to grow and progress, but we take in untold amounts of information, we get inspired, and the months go by and we wonder, “Have I changed?” I spend an hour on a Zoom call with a renowned therapist yesterday and we boiled down to this...

Most of us work in order to make money. I’m going to assume that’s you. And making money is important. For this discussion, we’re going to take a look at the concept of work you enjoy outside of money. My dad, Dan Miller, wrote the book, 48 Days To The Work You Love. If you haven’t read it, go now to 48days.com and get a copy, just like over two million other people have done. Ultimately I’m looking at fulfilling work. You may not love it all the time. It may not feel like play all the time....

In the last episode I had James R Doty on the show. James is a neurosurgeon, a professor at Stanford, and author of Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation And How It Changes Everything. I keep hearing feedback about the show and what most people are responding to is the concept of focusing on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Our survival oriented, fear and negativity biased minds give primary focus to what we don’t want. This is incredibly important. It’s monumental and...

I’ve continued to be skeptical of the whole “manifesting” concept, until now. As I’ve finally shown and convinced that I have been and always am manifesting most of my life. I don’t believe I’m all powerful or that I am God. But I do find that I generally reap what I sow. What my mind dwells on seems to come to pass, and my mind…our minds…naturally tend toward negative thoughts. If I keep thinking I don’t want to get sick, I don’t want to get sick, my subconscious just comprehends a constant...

As your body is the physical vehicle for all you do here on earth, this episode is about having it in great working order. As we continue to look at the best foods to fuel our bodies, we now turn to fruit. Where should it factor into your diet? Should you have any? A little or a lot? And then, which fruits are the most beneficial to your wellness? It seems so basic, but these types of questions on food categories and the value of different varieties can be stumbling blocks in our pursuit of...

Many of you, like me, think of yourselves as people seeking growth and change. And you are. But you also have a lot of struggles around actually changing. I’m learning about this and realizing I’m not near as change-minded and able as I’d like to admit. I see myself taking the easy way and falling to routine most of the time, and often, it’s ok. It comes down to clarifying my values, seeing where I do actually want to grow and change and improve, and making a plan. But I’m getting better at...

I’m on day four of a solo getaway. I currently have five of my kids and two grandkids living full time in my home. Circumstantially the days are full. We get them to four different schools in the morning, there is constant grocery shopping, clearing, fixing something that’s broken, dealing with issues with the six or seven cars at our house at any given time, and the list goes on an on. So every two to three months, I get away. I recharge with solitude. I’m on day four at a cabin out in the...

We all know the debate between nature and nurture. I grew up with a focus on nurture. We become what we want. We blaze our own path. We make our reality. This seemed to work until later in life when, with some help from others, I was shown some sabotaging patterns in my life. A graph was made of my life and especially regarding my work, it showed me start things, built them, then they came to an end. There were always reasons, but the only common denominator was me. But it made no sense to...

We are driven by our values. Sometimes however, our values change, or we find ourselves in a place where it’s hard to live out our values. So we think about change. Which requires decisions. And boom. A crossroads. The comfort and security of where we are and what is known, and the fear of the unknown. It’s a big deal. However, I’ve got really hopeful news for you. A resource if you will. How would you like a manual for how to make it as easy and secure as possible? Emily P. Freeman is the...

Welcome, I'm Kevin Miller, your host, guide and fellow traveler as we unearth what drives us. When we know what drives us and why, we get where we want to go.  Our bodies drive everything we do, so in an effort to get them in the best shape possible, in this episode we are talking about food. I recently covered the best meats. Here, the best grains. With the huge focus on gluten and inflammation you hear more and more about being grain free and that all grain and carbs are the enemy. Yet as...

About three months ago before my father passed away, Dave Ramsey flew himself and his wife Sharon and three other couples, including Michael & Gail Hyatt, to my parents house to spend a day saying their last goodbyes. I hadn’t seen Dave & Sharon in years and it was great to connect. It also reminded me that for three decades, Dave has been talking about finances. Money. And though the times have changed, the core concepts remain the same. Why do people keep tuning in to listen to him?...

Everyone at some point has left a light on in their car and come out the next morning to a car that should be ready to roll, and the battery is dead. You have to jump start it. We do this with ourselves a lot by going to be with some lights left on that keep us from quality sleep, and we wake up need a jump start. A blaring alarm, maybe our spouse has to push out of bed, we need coffee immediately, etc… Even with the jump start, you’re generally lagging the whole day. There are so many things...

We are driven to connect. And be connected to. There has never been more communication available and coming at us than today. And yet we have more isolation and loneliness than ever. It’s similar to food. In America we are massively overfed. We are bigger and heavier than ever. And yet we are chronically undernourished. We eat but don’t nourish. Likewise, we communicate, but we don’t connect. What is the difference? And what can we do? Drive with me a moment.  Head to airdoctorpro.com and...

Here is a business story, that is really a humanitarian story, but overall is an incredible story of drive I believe you’ll be inspired and equipped by. The story would make a great movie, and since my guest actually roomed with Matt Damon in college, it just might become one. James Rhee’s parents migrated to America from Korea. James was driven to excel and please his parents, so he got into Harvard. But he really wanted to teach, so he then taught high school for a couple years. Some of his...

In our quest for health and wellness and looking at the food we eat, how we exercise and sleep and addressing our mental health, we often miss two primary areas of consumption; what we are breathing and drinking. I just want to trust that overall what I breathe and drink is ok and my body can handle it. It can, but it’s not optimal. My body can exist on cheetos and coke as well, but it won’t be optimal. I want my physical body at it’s best to support my overall drive. To dig into these...

For some reason unknown to me, narcissism is the new label slapped on anyone we feel is being selfish. And yes, I’ve had it attributed to me. And I feel it about others as well. In an article from the Center for Neurocognitive Excellence, they way a simple definition of narcissism would be an over-preoccupation with ourselves or being overly desirous of the praise or admiration of others to the extent that it negatively impacts our relationships. I’ve not met anyone who doesn’t display these...

We are born into this world and we just take it in. It’s all we can do. We’re brought up and told what to do. Sent to school to learn the basics and pass tests, then on into the world to maybe get more schooling then ultimately get a job and pay the bills. The average person pursues little learning and growth as they just churn through life. Now, that’s not you or you wouldn’t be here listening. And by being here I know you have engaged with the first level of thinking. But what about level...

At the beginning of my book, What Drives You, I define drive as a strong energy and determination to achieve a goal or satisfy a need. To be rich is to be plentiful and abundant. You could say that sums up our drive. We want to be plentiful and abundant in many things. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less money. I’ve never met anyone who says they want less personal growth, or wellness, or less good relationships. Or less purpose or time or less great adventures or experiences. But...

If you are listening to this show, I can confidently know you desire to positively influence other people. This is what real leadership is, whether it’s as a parent, friend, employee or business owner. As you’re about to hear, AI is taking over much of the knowledge work that has fueled our economy and workplace for so long. But what it does is open the floodgates for…guides. Leaders. Coaches. I’m joined by Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar and proud son of on of our world’s greatest and most beloved...
