  • Always seeing the glass has half full..

    A great inspirational podcast! I first discovered John O’Leary when he spoke to our company. That speech inspired me to read his book, “On Fire,” which then turned me on to his podcast. The guests and their stories are so inspirational and filled with hope. Each episode can help alter your perspective to one of viewing the glass as half full. There is always an approach of viewing life’s biggest challenges as an opportunity for growth and transformation.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paul Anleitner: Find Meaning in a Cynical World (ep. 898)
Q: What are the three pillars of meaning?
The three pillars are coherence (a detectable pattern in reality), purpose (direction or telos), and significance (a meaningful role for the individual in the larger story), which together counterbalance superficial happiness with lasting meaning.
Paul Anleitner: Find Meaning in a Cynical World (ep. 898)
Q: Tell our audience what postmodernism means.
Postmodernism questions the certainty of the modern narrative, showing that stories used to justify social orders may not be universally true; it views narratives as contingent and often tied to power, leading to skepticism about objective truth but also inviting a reconstruction toward more inclusive meanings.
Karen Olson: Founder of Family Promise (ep. 894)
Q: Tell our community what Family Promise does.
Family Promise provides shelter and meals for homeless families and prevents homelessness through its Homelessness Prevention Program, expanding to serve more than a million individuals.
Willow Weston: Healing Your Hurt (ep. 874)
Q: What do you say to people who doubt your story or see it as too miraculous?
Willow emphasizes that her story is her experience and that when people share their own stories with him, the only productive response is to listen without judgment, reinforcing that spiritual conversations can happen across beliefs.
Willow Weston: Healing Your Hurt (ep. 874)
Q: So today, what happened next after your initial turning point moment in the hotel room?
Willow describes a gradual awakening to healing, aided by a church connection, a mentor named Cindy, and therapy, which helped her start naming and processing her pain and led to a deeper faith that recognized healing is something we participate in rather than something done to us.
