On Your Authority

Everything appears to have a beginning, middle, and end. This is the end for OnYourAuthority. Overfull schedules with considerable travel by the 3 of us and having a sense we've said what we needed to on the topic helped us realize that this podcast is complete. We wish to thank all of you for supporting the show. We'll keep the webpage up for a few months, but this is farewell. There's much to do and nothing to do, so let's all go out on our authority comfortable with that paradox. Gratefully, Matt, Staffan and Michael. 

Join us in our discussion around maintaining integrity and marketing. Is it an oxymoron? How do you do it? Then laugh as Staffan and Matt take Michael through his own very needed Phoenix Rising experience around anger!

Show #52 finds Matt and Michael together up at Michael's camp in Maine. They seem to be haunted by a voice from beyond in the woods... could it be a misdirected Viking stumbled on N America again? You will just have to tune and find out! Then share with us where or how you recharge and go deep to listen for your authority. Please no wise cracks about the loons intro/outro and the 3 of us being somewhat...well, looney.

Show # 53 Has some great discussion and a couple awkward silences as the trio weigh in on labor, laboring, acceptance, and right action. Harvey's in the news and what it means brings up some interesting tri-continental perspective between the Aussie, Viking and Army Captain. Tune in and then share your thoughts as well. What did you birth this past Labor Day?

The guys are back on track, rested and full of it...even more than usual! Join us to explore allocating space and sustaining your intention based on your authority. We've got some great tips and insights, and with any luck, you'll be a hockey goalie by the end of the week. Take a listen and share with your friends. Cheers!

Talking about contextualizing our search for authority. Also acknowledging a slow, low energy show and being ok with that. Michael mentioned being interviewed on https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/kent-brun-podcast-professionals-talking-yoga/id1035013134?mt=2 We'd love to hear your experience about discovering what enhances your life? Are there times when you escape and other times when you are moving toward something? How do you tell the difference? How does context inform your decision making in these changing times?   And fellas... it is the rising of Canis Majoris, (aka Sirius) rising causing mad dogs in the hottest part of summer in the N Hemisphere. I am your fount of useless knowledge : )

Join us from our live broadcast at sytar.org Newport Beach CA where we talk with Molly McManus, Shelly Prosko, Abby Geyer, Ann Marie Johnston, Richard Miller, Sarah Kaczor Greco, and Baxter Bell. Fascinating people living on their authority. See what has them fired up!

How do you differentiate between leadership, power and authority? All 3 are related but discerning and staying aware of the differences is now more important than ever. Join us as we explore the concepts that weigh heavily around the world and right at home as well!

This show follows up from last weeks show by Michael sharing his morning embodied reflection technique for you to experience. We then dive into a question from a new PT graduate about authority as a brand new graduate when you might think you have any authority. Fun conversation with many great suggestions that would support any new grad. Please share with your new grads in your family or organization!

As graduation looms for Staffan, Matt settles in to new "work" and Michael reflects on his long, rich career, the conversation meanders around the differences between job and career, who we show up as "on stage" vs "off stage" and what all this might have to do with authority. Join us and share how you keep your "job" a vocation based on your authority.

It's spring, the sap is rising, in the Northern Hemispheres the daylight is gaining each day. Do you still feel the youthful renewal of spring? If you do or don't, is it a matter of state of mind or state of body? How might you re-capture that youthfulness or does the acquired wisdom of experience offset any diminishment in capacities. And yes, Matt did his homework...and learned to never submit to Dr Elgelid's authority. Who knew there were romance novels specifically for men or women!

This free form version of the show was just a bit different than most. Many experiences to relate as all 3 of us hit a busy patch. Staffan final read a serious book, "Triggers" and that set off all manner of triggers. Taylor got an F for failing his assignment to read a fun book...and penalized for it! And Michael played us both like a fiddle. Stop by, relax and chuckle. Nothing too serious to see here this show, move along please....

What happens to our rhythms when one of us is snowed in without power for days, the other is shuttling between Canada and Mexico, while I'm settling into the desert? How does new-ness vs routine affect our authority? What do edges of tedium or extreme novelty do to your sense of authority? How do you create stability when too much is new and how do you spark changes when there's been no change for too long? It's all here with some great reading resources.

Turns out authority is impermanent like everything else. We have a special guest, Matt's daughter Emily Taylor, JD share with us her passion around supporting families in preparing for and dealing with changes in our ability to make decisions, direct affairs and care for our families. Have you taken the smart, important steps to do so for your authority? If you are over 18, there are actions you should have taken. Tune in and learn how! www.emilytaylorlaw.com .

This show we zoom in on community: where is it? where isn't it? how does our attitude and focus affect community building? especially now in these times of sharper divisions between groups? Is there a somatic, emotional or breathing component that can facilitate our community building? What works for you and where do you get frustrated? Join us and share your experience. Now is the time to build more communities, even if they are as odd as our 3 little group!

We've changed our recording schedule in order to keep our shows more timely as things seem to be changing quickly. Over the next several weeks we'll go from a 2 week production to a 72 hour production time. This week we explore how do we begin to dialog around the complex issues of our times. In addition to offering some resources to explore, we again realize we don't know either...and maybe that's a good place for all of our dialogs to begin? Your thoughts and experiences?

Recorded just before the US Presidential inauguration, check in to see what these 3 are suggesting for grounding in your sense of authority vs the group think or media blitz. Who and how will you be in the days ahead? What can simplifying do to enhance your authority like Staffan's dog friend? Tell us what is and isn't working for you... we're all in this boat together! Matt's just back from veteran's yoga project training  and Michael offers some nonsense about peace in chaos?!...come on mate! ; ) ...and much more.

2017 brings in an unusual amount of speculation and a renewed search around what is authority, who are you citing as your sources in authoring your life story, and why? With the rapid shift in the news and political landscapes, how do you find firm footing to stand for who you are in this world? Other than that, just your usual light-hearted men's coffee klatsch chat thing!

What a great show with J Brown from Brooklyn. He quickly raised the class factor of this group with his open sharing, great insights and willingness to be with uncertainty. What's the difference between leading and exhibiting leadership behavior? How does he check-in with himself in seeking his authority? Tune and join the conversation.
