*** As it turns out, the video upon which this episode is based was a hoax but the concept of sports without implements is not. The principles discussed on this episode remain relevant, important and valuable *** 'Double take' does not sum up our reaction when reading the article that prompted this week's episode. There was a Facebook video posted on the CBC Facebook page about a Washington State Youth Sports Organization that has stopped using the ball while playing soccer. Yes, you read that correctly, they are still getting together on a soccer field (apparently we can't remove that), wearing cleats and soccer outfits, but are playing with an imaginary ball. The purpose of this is to remove the 'pressures' of competition, stop proclaiming winners and losers and therefore protect the child's self-esteem. This is not the first time a story like this hit the news. In 2013 The Soccer Association Of Midlake Ontario did similar claiming "We want our children to grow up learning that sport is not about competition, rather it's about using your imagination. If you imagine you're good at soccer, then you are." The purpose of this podcast is to discuss why ideas like this are harmful, should be avoided and that by implementing them, they are in fact crushing your child's self-esteem. What we cover:

Health Canada is warning that this year's flu could be the worst in years. The CBC said that both Canada and US are both being strongly affected, even more so than last year. So what can you do about it? The purpose of this podcast is to discuss how your immune system works and what you can do to ensure that you do everything you can to not get the flu this year or ever! Wouldn't it be nice if you could finally set aside all the fear and concern about sickness and illness? That's not to say that you'll never get sick, but I think Jim Rohn gave us the secret to fighting colds and the flu when he said... "Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better." Revised in this context it would be "... wish your immune system was stronger." What we covered:

We can't believe it, but 2018 is already here. One of the books and people we've been obsessed with lately is Ray Dalio and his book entitled "Principles." If you don't know who Ray Dalio is: he founded Bridgewater, a financial institution that manages the world's largest hedge fund, he has worked with governments and economic policy makers on all levels and he has pioneered new ways to manage and grow financial portfolios. In fact, if you have any money under current financial management, it's safe to say that the techniques Ray Dalio developed are being used to grow your money. So why do you care? In his latest book Ray writes exclusively of the power of principles and principled thinking in helping live what seems to be a charmed live. One quote that we've been thinking about and discussing a lot lately is his simple equation in the title: Failure + Reflection = Progress We're fascinated with how successful people handle failure, or their perception of failure. Unlike most of us, they are not embarrassed when they fail, in fact, they expect it, especially when trying out new ideas...some of them even enjoy it because they know it's part of progress. If you're not embarrassed by your 'failures' you enjoy spending time reflecting on what they taught you and how you can improve the next time you try. This where progress happens. Ray also writes about how successful people learn from others failures and apply the lessons to their own lives. The purpose of this podcast is to discuss the lessons that 2017 has taught us and how our thoughts/failures/takeaways can be leveraged by you, to improve your life. What we covered:
