We’re back! After more than a year away from the mic, Habit Masters returns with an unscripted, heart-led conversation about what really drives us. In this comeback episode, Jeff and Sheldon talk about overcoming fear, embracing selfless love, and why the shift from survival mode to meaningful contribution is the real path to becoming your best self.

Inspired by a Seth Godin post on “Generosity Fear,” we explore how love—not fear—is the key to lasting transformation. We also dig into self-care, spiritual insights, and why it's okay to embrace imperfect progress. Stick around for story time at the end, where we relive some epic wipeouts on longboards and hoverboards (because growth sometimes hurts—literally).

🎧 In This Episode:

• The difference between fear-based and love-based motivation
• Why being a “hero” isn’t the final goal
• What self-love has to do with helping others
• Why contribution and generosity matter more than perfection
• Lessons from parenting, personal injuries, and Mr. Rogers
• Story time: Longboarding wipeouts and hoverboard fails

Growing is better than weeding!

In this episode of Habit Masters we discuss the importance of focusing on growth and positivity in your life rather than fixating on eliminating negative habits. We use the metaphor of a garden to illustrate that while weeding is necessary, the primary focus should be on planting and nourishing the good fruits you desire. Cultivating positive habits can crowd out negative ones and lead to a more fulfilling life. Take the next 7-10 days to test out the principle by growing something new in your life.

ACTION STEP FROM THIS EPISODE
Pick one thing you want to start growing in your garden of life and commit to spending 5-15 minutes a day for the next 7-10 days in focused energy on that goal. Track it with our free habit tracker and see the positive momentum it can make for you.

• 00:16 The Garden of Life: Planting vs. Weeding
