Listen "Overcoming Analysis Paralysis"
Episode Synopsis
Stephen McCorry, LCC Student, shares his journey in life as a father, recovery coach, author, and acclaimed MC. Stephen and Jim start the discussion on the topic of “Who am I?”, then move to examining the paradox of choice, sometimes known as analysis paralysis. Stephen shares his wisdom on balancing multiples roles and responsibilities while working toward life-changing goals. Paralyisis in decision making is often undergirded by ambivalence, unclear goals, and lack of understanding. Stephen made a life-changing choice to enroll in college, something he had never considered before, and is exploring how to define and reach new goals for himself. He references two books, Think and Grow Rich, and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and how the ideas he gleaned from those publications helped him think about shaping a new future for himself and his family. They move the discussion to education and Jim shares his perspective that education is about two things: translation and transformation, meaning students take knowledge and transform it into wisdom. Finally, Stephen shares tools he uses to maintain mental health by choosing to focus on the next small step. - Think and Grow Rich - The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
