Are you avoiding a 2-minute task like it’s a major life decision? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Nature of Everything, Bo and Clint dive deep into the sneaky science of avoidance—from unopened emails to that text you still haven’t answered. It’s not laziness; it’s your nervous system trying to protect you. We break down the psychology behind procrastination, explore how small tasks become emotional landmines, and share how to disrupt the pattern without needing to overhaul your life. Relatable, honest, and backed by research, this episode is your permission to shift, not shame.

This week’s Tuesday Check-in hits with one sharp, honest question: What are you avoiding and why? Bo and Clint guide you through this gentle but powerful confrontation—not to shame, but to bring clarity. Whether it’s a tough conversation, a task you’ve been dodging, or an emotion you’ve buried, this episode is all about naming it. No pressure to fix it—just confirm it and reclaim a little power. Listen in, drop the avoidance, and take the first step forward.

Feel like you’re stuck waiting for the “right time” to make a move? In this episode, Bo and Clint unpack why clarity doesn’t always come first—and why waiting for the dust to settle might actually be code for fear. Learn how to make confident decisions in chaos using the COIN framework (Confirm it, Own it, Be Intentional, Change the nature of everything). If you’re battling analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, or just feeling stuck, this one’s for you.

Bo and Clint unpack the myth of “waiting for things to calm down.” Because sometimes, life never really does. In this grounded Tuesday Check-In, they explore what it means to move forward even when everything feels uncertain—and how the COIN process (Confirm it, Own it, be Intentional, and Change the Nature of Everything) gives you a way to rebuild while the storm is still swirling.

Today we welcome you to our 50th full episode. Today we are practicing gratitude. Even when things get hard, we want to show up and practice gratitude - especially when it seems hard. Come on in and join the conversation. The day that we recorded this is a day that Clint experienced a hard personal loss - and so we dedicate this podcast to his grandmother, Gee - one of the great ones.

This week’s check-in is short, real, and a little bit of a milestone moment. As Bo and Clint head into their 50th episode, they pause to talk gratitude — not the “everything’s perfect” kind, but the grounded, everyday kind. It’s about being thankful to still be in it — still learning, still practicing, still showing up. Take a breath, take stock, and give yourself a little credit. That’s the real work.

Motivation gets you started — practice keeps you steady. In this episode, Bo and Clint talk about why most “non-negotiables” don’t make it past Monday and how to rebuild them from peace instead of pressure. They unpack what happens when we set standards that look good on paper but collapse in real life, and how to shift from forcing discipline to practicing alignment. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of good intentions and burnout, this one’s your reminder: you don’t need more willpower — you just need more practice.

In this Tuesday Check-in, Bo and Clint break down the power of non-negotiables—your personal standards. When you define and live by them, you stop bending to outside expectations and start leading your life with clarity and confidence. Stick around—Friday’s episode dives deeper into how to protect those standards when life tries to pull you off course.

Ever feel like people are lobbing emotional fastballs at you — words, tones, or attitudes that hit hard and fast? In this episode of The Nature of Everything, Bo and Clint unpack one of the most practical emotional tools you’ll ever learn: “Be the Shower Curtain.” This isn’t about staying silent or being a doormat — it’s about strategy, self-awareness, and reclaiming your calm when everything around you feels reactive. You’ll learn how to absorb emotional impact without bouncing it back, how to pause before responding, and how to stay grounded when life (or that text) hits you sideways. If you’ve ever wished you could respond with clarity instead of chaos — this one’s for you.

In this week’s Tuesday Check-In, Bo and Clint share one of those unforgettable life metaphors — “Be the shower curtain.” When life throws shade, attitude, or negativity your way, don’t bounce it back like a brick wall. Let it fall. This quick-hit episode challenges you to stop engaging in every emotional tennis match life serves up. Instead, practice peace by choosing not to react, not to escalate, and not to take the bait.

Have you ever caught yourself saying “I’m tired,” “I’m stressed,” or “I’m a mess”—and then actually feeling worse because of it? In this episode of The Nature of Everything Podcast, Bo and Clint unpack one of the most overlooked but powerful truths in personal development: the language you use literally programs your brain and shapes your reality.

In this short Tuesday check-in, Bo and Clint strip back the labels we attach to ourselves and others — like “I am stressed” or “they are difficult” — and reveal the freeing power of stopping at simply “I am” (or “they are”). This simple shift helps you break negative narratives, reclaim presence, and breathe a little easier.

We all want change, but real growth doesn’t come from quick fixes. In this episode of The Nature of Everything Podcast, Bo and Clint explore what they call the “side door to growth”—those first steps we often take in personal development, like hitting the gym, journaling, or showing up with more confidence. While those actions matter, lasting transformation requires going deeper. Using the COIN framework (Confirm it, Own it, Be intentional, and change the Nature of everything), they reveal why surface-level hacks eventually fall short and how to move from external wins to true internal alignment. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your self-growth journey or wondered why your motivation fades, this conversation will help you shift from quick fixes to sustainable change.

This week, Bo and Clint take you behind the scenes of podcasting—and how talking about authenticity can be its own reality check. Recording these conversations has a way of holding up a mirror, reminding us that growth isn’t about perfection but about practice. Sometimes we drop the ball, sometimes the mic catches us in our own contradictions—but that’s exactly the point. Growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it needs accountability, reflection, and honesty. Join us for this midweek check-in as we share what we’re learning (and messing up), and why practicing out loud keeps us moving forward.

Knowing your authentic self is one thing. Actually living it every day? That’s where most of us get stuck. In this episode, we go beyond definitions and dive into the practice of authenticity. You’ll learn how to spot the little moments when you betray yourself, how to rewrite old default patterns, and what it takes to stay congruent even when life feels messy or stressful. This is part two of our Authentic Self conversation—so if you’ve ever felt caught between the person you want to be and the habits that keep pulling you back, this episode is your roadmap for showing up as the real you, every single day.

In this Tuesday Check-in, Bo and Clint encourage you to pause midweek, reflect on where you’re being authentic, and notice where you might be slipping back into “performance mode.” It’s not about perfection—it’s about practice. Take a moment to check in with yourself, laugh a little, and reset for the rest of the week.

Are you living as your authentic self — or just performing the version of you that others expect? In Part 1 of this two-part series, Bo and Clint unpack the difference between your true self and your persona, why wearing the mask is so draining, and how to recognize the gap between who you are and how you show up. Tune in to learn why authenticity isn’t about perfection — it’s about congruence, energy, and daily practice.

In this quick midweek reset, Bo and Clint drop a single coin of wisdom: decide. Too often, we sit in the gap between who we are and who we want to be, waiting for the “perfect time” or someone else’s permission. But the truth? The decision is the permission. In this short episode, you’ll be challenged to write down the gap you’ve been avoiding and take one small step today to close it. No 10-step plan. No waiting. Just the next action that moves you forward.

Most people wait for motivation before they act — but that’s backwards. In this episode of The Nature of Everything, Bo and Clint unpack why success is built on motion, not motivation. Through the COIN framework (Confirm it, Own it, be Intentional, and change the Nature of everything), they show how small intentional steps beat overthinking, how to overcome analysis paralysis, and why practice (not perfection) fuels real progress. If you’re ready to stop waiting and start moving, this is the episode for you.

Disappointment stings. Whether it’s a broken promise, silence when you needed support, or the partner who says “next time” but never changes, those moments can erode trust and peace. This episode shows how to process those letdowns with honesty, integrity, and intentional action—so you can stop drifting and start showing up for yourself again.
