Wanting is one of our most powerful levers for change. Not what you want, but your relationship to wanting itself. In this episode, Joe sits down with AOA facilitator Alexa Kistler (and Brett’s wife) to unpack why so many people are at war with their desires and how ending that war offers a path out of suffering.They discuss:Wanting, craving, and aversionChildhood patterns that take us away from wantingIdentity shifts when you allow yourself to wantHow not owning desire makes you more manipulable, not lessWhy chasing outcomes creates suffering, even when you succeedResearch mentioned: Women are more agreeable than men across culturesSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudsonBrett on X: @airkistlerAOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.

Joe let Brett ask him anything at all about his life, and there were SO many questions, but ultimately his curiosity lead him to explore the story beneath the teaching: what was Joe’s path? How did he come to the work that he now shares with the world? Joe started out as a young man whose curious and open spirit blended with a serious rebellious streak that opened up a unique path. A bit of luck, love, and sometimes painful adventuring through the world, shaped him into the Joe we know and love today.

Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings.For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it’s a misunderstood emotional signal. It’s a protective mechanism to stop you from feeling something uncomfortable, whether it’s a fear of failure or even a fear of success.🎧 Subscribe to the Art of AccomplishmentPodcast Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ezSoopSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3ETrfHAGoogle Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3Czx7TuOther platforms: https://artofaccomplishment.com/podcast Send us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson|Brett on X: @airkistler AOA on X: @artofaccompVisit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.comWe invite you to experience our work.
