This season of The Spacemakers, delves into the “Making Space To Get Unstuck For A Surprising Second Act".
Beginning. Middle. Beginning: How To Get Unstuck In Midlife
We all get stuck at some point in life—whether it's a broken relationship, money issues, ill health, a stale career, or a lack of purpose. Join Daniel Sih and Matt Bain as they explore the concept of chiasma—a beginning, middle, and new beginning—and unveil the SHIFT framework to help you get unstuck in one or more areas of your life, paving the way for a surprising second half.
Life Is A Series of Trade-Offs: How To Choose Wisely
Life is a trade-off. You cannot be highly successful in one area of life without negatively impacting others. Similarly, feeling stuck in one domain often affects the rest because life is holistic and interconnected. Join Matt and Daniel in this episode of Spacemakers as they explore the Four Burners Theory of work-life balance and introduce The Five Capitals.
The Science of Subtraction: How To Bundle And Trade Time To Make Space
As humans, we often try to solve our problems by adding rather than subtracting. This unconscious bias leads us to pile on excessive projects, clutter our homes, and push our limits—consistently adding more instead of opting for less. In this episode, Matt and Daniel of The Spacemakers delve into the science of subtraction, explaining why 'less' is often the secret to moving forward.
Harness Your Strengths: Focus On What's Right, Not What's Wrong
Bad is stronger than good. Research shows that bad parents, bad feedback, and bad events impact us more than good ones. We're often driven to avoid pain and fix our weaknesses—rather than harness our strengths. Yet, dwelling on problems can worsen them, while celebrating our strengths can lead to a breakthrough. In this episode, Daniel and Matt explore the science of strengths and argue for focusing on what works, not what’s wrong.Â
Find Your Fun Lane: The Unconventional Practice of Seeking What’s Right
Did you know that people who focus on their strengths tend to be happier, feel more alive, and achieve greater success? What if the key to overcoming adversity is, counterintuitively, focusing on what is right about ourselves and others, rather than what is wrong? In this episode, Daniel and Matt explore how to find your "fun lane" and share counterintuitive strategies like 'bending' and 'partnering' to overcome weaknesses.Â
There’s Not Just One Way: Find Hope Using Pathways Thinking
We all know the saying, 'Where there's a will, there's a way.' But is that always true? While grit and determination are important, willpower alone isn't sufficient to achieve your goals and get unstuck. Enter Snyder's Hope Theory and his concept of Pathways Thinking, or Way Power. Join Matt and Daniel as they explore the science of Way Power, helping you make space for a fresh start.
