“Escape Velocity” is the ability to leave a situation that isn’t helpful or desired. So… what if you don’t like your job any more? What now? What if you’d like to be home with the family more often, instead of grinding out more hours for low pay? What’s your plan? What if you’re unhappy with your fitness and/or health levels? Can you achieve your goals on your own? These are the challenges we all face. This episode is about finding in yourself and others the help you need to “escape” and find a better way. We’ll discuss how to build up our capabilities, our committed habits, our confidence, and our pool of resources so we can create momentum that will lift us closer to the things we really want from life–and farther away from the things and situations that hold us in their grasp.

Eric’s Favorite Quote
The things you do not have to say make you rich. Saying the things you do not have to say weakens your talk. Hearing the things you do not have to hear dulls your hearing; and the things you know before you hear them – these are who you are and this is the reason you are in the world. — William Stafford
