Summary:

In this episode I talk about how people are doing the best they can.  How we should go into interactions realizing we don't ever know the full story, and therefore shouldn't assume.  I also go into how we can apply this thought process to friends, family, co-workers and even ourselves.

In this episode you will learn:

• We often set expectations too high
• How we can be compassionate and not judge
• I discuss how road rage is often a good example of this
• Doing this can take the pressure off
• Even with family and friends we don't know what's REALLY going on
• Tim talks about how just because we can't see it doesn't mean people aren't struggling
• Fear & Anger are often forms of self preservation
• We are often striving for perfection which isn't possible

Summary:

This week we chat with singer/songwriter, Leeroy Stagger about his latest album, Love Versus. We get into talking about everything from Buddhism, to alcoholism, to self-love. 

"Born in Victoria, British Columbia and raised on a little island on the very west coast of Canada, Stagger spent most of his youth with his grandparents who exposed him to the world of country music. Having collaborated with one of his icons, Danny Michel, Stagger found commercial success in the song, "Just in Case", which was featured twice on the television hit, Grey's Anatomy. The life of being on the road and touring at a fast pace did not wear easily on Stagger, who at age 26, realized he had an alcohol problem that was affecting his ability to perform with the commitment and heart his songs demanded. Clean and sober since, Stagger has a strong desire to inspire young musicians that they do not have to succumb to the pitfalls of substance abuse, which can be prevalent in a musician's touring lifestyle."

Quotes:

“People appreciate vulnerability. And especially in this day and age, they appreciate truth.” 

“Instead of attaching the stories to myself, I wanted other people to relate to them.”

“I didn’t have the energy to live the way I was living”

“I realized I didn’t want to live my life with this fear or being afraid to actually live”

“Because I felt lighter, my music felt lighter.”

“Our stories are unique to ourselves but at the end of the day, we are in this together”

“Sometimes we just need to get through today"
