We’ve turned intuition into a buzzword—flattened it into a slogan, a gut feeling, or a vague whisper we don’t always know how to hear. But what if intuition is so much more? What if it's one of the most powerful tools we have—and we’ve just forgotten how to use it? In this episode, I’m joined by Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir , Icelandic thought leader, filmmaker, and author of InnSæi: Icelandic Wisdom for Turbulent Times . Hrund has spent over 20 years studying and teaching the science and art of intuition through her TED Talk, Netflix documentary (InnSæi: The Power of Intuition), and global work on leadership, innovation, and inner knowing. Together, we explore what intuition really is (hint: not woo-woo), how to cultivate it in a culture obsessed with logic and overthinking, and why your ability to listen to yourself might be the most essential skill you can develop. In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ Why we’ve misunderstood intuition—and how to reclaim it ✅ Practical ways to strengthen your intuitive muscle ✅ What Icelandic wisdom teaches us about inner knowing ✅ How to use intuition during uncertainty and decision-making ✅ Why trusting yourself is an act of rebellion (and power) Intuition isn’t magic—it’s a deep, internal guidance system that already exists inside you. The question is: are you listening?

Episode 61 - What Would You Do If You Won The Lottery 8:00

۷ years پیش8:00

8:00

As an icebreaker, I frequently ask people - what would you do if you won the lottery? People give answers that reflect what they would do if there were no constraints or demands put on their time, location or finances This is where people describe their visionary work, OR the downtime things they would do to feel free, relaxed. My question is - ok so why not do it anyway? We assume we have constraints, and that money or some other windfall is an obstacle to getting started. You can get started with 10 dollars and 10 minutes - probably even less I’ve noticed that when you approach the world with a service mindset, things like money and time tend to get sorted out at exactly the right moment You need to trust in the importance of your dreams, and how working on your dream goals attracts the right help and opportunity into your life - simply because your passion will be infectious…

This happens more than you think It’s important not to measure success against big league players that you’re trying to model. This takes a while, and there’s no such thing as overnight success The best thing you can do is change your approach - experiment with new techniques.

Although we’d like to believe that we have what it takes, sometimes we worry that we’re going to be seen as ‘arrogant’, over-confident or full of ourselves. This alone can keep us from starting. What’s the difference between confidence and arrogance and how can you build the former without seeming like the latter? Limiting Beliefs - concepts of what we are capable of are limited by our fears, which talk to us in sentences that start with ‘you can’t’. Believing in the information to the contrary Arrogance - belief in your abilities and entitlements in ignorance of external information to the contrary Confidence - belief in your abilities and entitlements even in light of external information to the contrary Both limiting beliefs and arrogance can only be destroyed one way - through experience and reflection. The initial spark of belief that surrounds arrogance is important for overcoming limiting beliefs though.…

There are two kinds of habits: good ones and bad ones. So often, we focus on the bad ones that we need to break, but how often do we take the time to focus on the good habits that we have integrated or need to integrate to continuously move us forward? You have to have a habit of having habits :-) Create a prioritized list of of habits you want to have (come on, you know what they are). They could be mindset habits or actual practices Take on no more than 2 or 3 at a time - it could take a few months to habitualize them Make sure your habits roll up to achieving a larger goal, like increasing your audience or revenue.…

People who achieve everything they set out to do in life are masters of protecting their time. How do they do it? Time is the only thing you can’t reclaim once its been spent Protecting your time is your right and your duty. You must actively and continuously monitor and protect it as you would any priceless resource The biggest challenge is changing your mindset about time. You own your time, no matter where you work or who you have in your life. Only you can dictate how it is spent. Commit to tweaking or leveraging resources to minimize time spent on non valuable things, or find things to cut out altogether.…

Episode 53 - How To Focus 16:25

If you’re making time for creativity, but you find yourself unfocused and unable to stay with it…there are some things that can help. I’m going to keep hammering this one - you have to set aside time To avoid intimidation, set a short timer Set an intention. What is the most important thing to finish in this time slice? Make sure it is in support of the Most Valuable Thing - what will get your product ready to market? What will get you an audition? What will establish you as a professional? What will increase your audience? Don’t worry about right-sizing the timer for the intention. If 10 minutes is too much or too little, fix it later. Adjust the timer or the scope of your intention. Keep your mind focused. If you notice yourself taking on sub tasks or side tasks. Stop. Make a note of them and prioritize and do them LATER Stay vigilant. Meditation can help you notice when you’re going off the rails.…

Episode 52 - The Myth Of Certainty And Safety 11:14

۷ years پیش11:14

11:14

We all know about the paralysis caused by waiting for the right moment in the right conditions. So why do we continue to do it, and how can we stop? It’s normal, from an evolutionary/survival perspective, to want safety and certainty The need for certainty and safety, however, prevents us taking risks and moving forward boldly - two essential behaviours for artists and entrepreneurs We associate lack of safety - in all its forms - with danger, and that fear paralyzes us; making it extremely difficult to break this pattern. Breaking the patter requires a mindset shift - realize how expensive these desires and fears are. Then take small but meaningful steps to provide yourself with proof that nothing bad will happen if you move forward without absolute certainty and safety.…

But there are times when inspiration just hits. Are there things you can do that create fertile ground for inspiration? There are….and they exist in the everyday. You have to make time and clear space in your head. You have to be ready to receive Then, you have to put yourself in situations and conditions where inspiring things are likely to be or to happen Get into nature, listen to conversations, imagine yourself in someone else’s life, especially the watershed moments.

Episode 50 - The State of Coaching Right Now 13:06

۷ years پیش13:06

13:06

Today's episode is an impromptu musing on the state of coaching, for those of you who feel like you might benefit from it, or are yourselves in the coaching business. in many ways, its a bit like being a therapist. People should find a good coach that is a balance of engaged and removed, that specializes in or can tailor an action plan to your particular learning style, and that they trust and like. Once you've found that, I love to see clients eat up the learning. So often, I take for granted what I've learned, how far I've come personally, and how hard I've worked for the success I have. I forget what it's like to be new; to have your eyes opened to a world of limitless potential. But sometimes, it just doesn't happen that way. What continues to surprise me is how often people dive in, seem committed, seem ready to make a serious mark in the world...and then just fade away from the teaching. It makes me think that perhaps coaching is a nonsense profession...but then I remember that we have always had elders, mentors, jedi masters...people who pass down the wisdom accumulated from a life of disciplined practice. This is meaningful work for me, and its hard to accept that sometimes, people just aren't ready. They are not yet willing to commit to the time and effort it takes to transform. I'll never forget my public school teacher, Gerald Smialek, who taught us kids the phrase "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". That continues to reveal layers of meaning to me, even to this day. Enjoy the episode. I hope you're learning lots and enjoying the journey!…

As someone with a creative offering, I’d like to wait until my product is perfect before I unleash it on the world. Is that really so bad? There are two big problems with waiting. One is that it fosters fear, and uncertainty, and the other is that it lets other people slip in the gap and beat you to market No matter what happens, you have to focus on go. Leap.

If you’ve been listening for a while, you know I’m big on service. To review, service is the thing that validates your vision. Without service, a vision can be nothing more than a wishlist….a catalog of benefits that only accrue to you. Service ensures that you know exactly who your vision serves, how, and most importantly, why. So how do I figure out what that is if I’m just an ordinary, everyday person? That’s this week on the Fuse Chamber Podcast. There’s nothing extraordinary about service. If you don’t think you serve, try looking at your customers differently It’s important to figure out how you serve - there’s something about the selfless act that makes success more more easily available…

You can either work on ‘inspiration’ at scheduled times and groom the pile for the useful bits later. You can also wait for inspiration to show up - but this method rarely produces any meaningful volume or consistency of output Remember to surround yourself with inspiration before your writing ritual Also, have a convenient way to capture notes whether you’re in bed, in the car, or in a lineup The real secret is to stay disciplined.

I want to do more. To be more. I get the feeling that maybe I could, or just that I should try to live a life more in line with my passions and principles. But I can literally feel myself getting in my own way. It’s like watching a movie of myself - I see it happening, I know its not good, but I do it anyway. What’s going on? Routines are the things we do automatically, without conscious thought Most routines are behaviours or thought patterns that we used to have to think about, but have tucked out of sight of the conscious mind and allow them to go on autopilot The human brain has tremendous capacity for this and allows us to perform a great many tasks without having to spend our valuable mental energy on them However, the downside is that some routines are bad for us - and the brain doesn’t really know the difference Unfortunately, we run these routines without questioning them so we don’t always know they exist and act against our self-interest The best way to identify negative routines is to run down a list of common ones and see if any sound familiar. You might be running these. There’s nothing wrong with running routines - the brain needs to do that - but its important to figure out what beliefs caused you to install negative routines, change the belief so you can short-circuit and eliminate the pattern…

An artist is committed, heart and soul, to the work. So I have to quit my day job now right? You have to starve to create right? You have to be committed full time - 8+ hours per day, right? Times are changing. There aren’t as many ‘full time salaries’ for artists anymore. You have to balance work that pays the bills with work that feeds the soul Nothing says you have to work for a big corporation doing a business-y job though. You could easily start your own small business Your business could be related to your art, or not, but it must be some you LOVE doing (must be related to your vision and purpose) The bad news - if you’re just getting started, expect that you now have three jobs - your day job, your side job, and your art. You have to keep the first one until the side job and art career take off enough to provide sustainable income. That can take years The good news - doing things you’re passionate about helps fuel and refresh you. If you choose correctly, you won’t burn out Don’t ever make a choice based on money or fame.

Set an alarm, get up early, set a 20 minute timer and go BUT - as soon as that's done, you take a 5 minute break and then set another 20 minute timer, and then another, and then another. The volume of output is what makes the great ideas come, not great ideas themselves. your full time job is creating stacks of ideas that might be gold, might be trash, or might be mined for gold When you are challenged to come up with a good idea, come up with 50.

Fight can mean unusually hard work, but it can also mean setbacks, injuries (physical, mental and emotional of course), struggles, delays, surprises, bad luck The secret is to watch your response to these events, and subvert your natural instincts - to push just a little further than you think you can stand…

There’s one thing that we’re not teaching our young people any more - in school or beyond - and that’s how to persist when things get difficult. If there’s a trophy for every participant, if there are no consequences to missing the mark, no negative feedback or criticism…how can you prepare a career in the most competitive segments of human endeavour? What is the single most important quality for any person to possess if they want to get to the very top of their game? Grit. When asked what people were more likely to make it through the special operations candidate process ‘grit’ was found to be the deciding factor yes it is important to find work that you love, work that you are passionate about, and it is even more important to know who you serve and why; but there still will be very rough patches. There will be parts of your work that you hate doing. There will be rejection, criticism, bad press, tough breaks And then there will be personal setbacks that threaten to throw you off course. Make you want to give up. Give you excuses There will always be a fight. The secret is to get good at fighting There’s a saying - don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better Distinguish between the parts that are in your control, and the parts that are not. If you can’t afford an accountant right now, you are your own bookkeeper. If you have a cold, you can’t sing for 2 weeks. If you broke your thumb, you can’t paint. You can control how you react to these situations. What could you do instead? How could you work around it? What new skill could you learn from this adversity? How could you use your time differently to attack all the things you keep saying you don’t have time for? Learn to love the fight. If you get good at struggle, and it’s true that ‘the fight is the thing’, notice how you seem better equipped to handle ALL of life’s challenges! Break big things into smaller things. The minute you hit adversity, set a stretch goal that inspires you. Something that really gets you motivated. Why is it important to do this? And then break that goal into manageable tasks that you can handle each and every day. You don’t have to know how to plan the whole way to your goal either. Just start with tomorrow. What’s the biggest thing you could accomplish in one day that would move you closer to your goal? Get disciplined. Take massive pride in accomplishing those small goals each day. It is exactly this skill that can get you anything you want in life. Never let the pressure off. Don’t finish your tasks without making some new ones. Don’t forget to take a look at where you are at the end of each day No adversity in your life right now? Find some. Walk to work. Volunteer for hard things. Take a cold shower. Go without screens or internet for 2 days. Fast for 18-24 hours. Add 10% to your workout. Take 10% of your pay check and put it where you can’t get at it. And then next time, do a little more. You will have failures. Part of fighting is losing. There will be setbacks and disappointments even as you’re fighting adversity. This is part of the fight. This is why its so important to make time - every day - to stop, see where you are, what you’ve learned, how you could do better, and what the landscape looks like now. Does your initial plan still make sense? If not, create a new plan for tomorrow. The plan is ever changing.…

If we expect there to be a future in the arts, we have to help guarantee it. Nothing about art has to be free. Like so many other ‘public’ professions that don’t have a pure profit focus, we have learned not to value it. When do don’t value it, the quality starts to decline. How can we as artists help ensure a thriving industry? We HAVE to treat it as a business. Art IS a business. Business is not the set of boring financial tasks we apologetically force artists to do. If you don’t like the sound of this, you HAVE TO BE OK with not getting paid well, or at all, for your art. I was reading an article about 10 ways to save crazy amounts of money, and several of them directly affect the arts. Steal or stream music, steal or stream movies and borrow books from the library. Yes there are times when we must conserve funds, but there were no suggestions about getting your food from the food library, so the assumption is we’re talking about people with some disposable income We should flip our thinking. Our governments tend to (or at least used to) treat the arts as a collective obligation to support. Funding is shrinking by the year, so it becomes incumbent on us to take over that funding. We need to commit a small percentage of our money to supporting people who create tremendous value in our lives and in fact make tremendous contributions to commerce, yet never receive a paycheck or benefits from a large corporation Everyone should plan to spend a portion of what they make supporting local artists. If you want your money to directly benefit artists - its a bit like giving directly to a neighbour or a friend in need. No middleman. No administrative fees. Live music, theatre, local press…etc…

Episode 27 - Your Own Voice 11:05

۷ years پیش11:05

To be a true artist, you must reject the mindset and habit of sameness. You can learn and borrow from those who have come before, but you must never duplicate. But how do you come to your own voice? Nothing is more powerful than your own authentic voice People who changed the world drew new lines in the sand. They did not absorb and rehash common thinking. They took common thinking and either turned it upside down or made changes to it. Stay inspired, read, reflect and document. This could mean journaling but it also means creating - scripts, lyrics, poetry, music, drawing, painting, sculpture, dance, essays, speeches, prose, video - whatever you make instead of or in addition to a journal If you journal, make note of problems to be solved. Things you learned, things you would like to change or improve about your world, your art form, yourself As always, write for the wastebasket. (But keep everything) Failing early and often means you are ok that 95% of what you make doesn’t go anywhere Review what you write often and look for recurring, common themes. Something will eventually jump out at you as being your philosophy, your reason for serving Never stop this practice., Continue to refine it, grow it, change it, adapt it…

Episode 26 - The Inspiration Habit 19:35

19:35

Inspiration Can Be Hard To Come By. What’s the Secret The good news is….hard work is the answer. The bad news is…its hard work. Generating rich and novel ideas is the by product of living a rich and novel life, internally and externally I’m big on mindset and habit pairs, meaning right thinking coupled with right action Your mindset must be observational, adventurous, curious - a seeker The world is at your fingertips now more than ever. Use it. Adopt habits of inviting inspiration For every idea that follows, start first with a receptive mind. Observe, resist the temptation to judge or doubt, be present and positive, and be curious. Ask a lot of questions. Your smartphone has a notebook, camera, voice recorder and digital assistant built in. Duh When observations arise, document them. You’ll be shocked at how much slips from memory when you don’t write things down But don’t wait for inspiration. Once a day, sit down and ask questions of the world. What did you learn? about yourself, about others, about the world Change up your routine. From brushing your teeth with the opposite hand to changing your normal route…anything you do repeatedly can be changed up Consume art voraciously. Not just the stuff you like, but everything. Talk to others about what they like and why. Read biographies or Watch documentaries of great artists, thinkers, leaders, pioneers, humanitarians. Let their example inspire you, and feel free to steal from their arsenal of mindsets and habits. Just don’t copy the actual work. Meet as many people as you possibly can. There is an app for that, but you can meet incredible people in line, in crowds Say yes to things you would normally say no to. Road trips, events, new people, challenges, competitions and travel. Start small but never break a promise. Never miss a day. Better to show up and do a little than to not show up at all…

I have all these great plans, but I don’t know where to start, and it all seems so overwhelming Focus on Go. You have to move. No one else will do that for you - it’s the one skill you have to master and get disciplined around all by yourself, or you will ultimately struggle with failure too often It’s pretty easy to condition the habit of getting things done. And it’s pretty satisfying too. Take a big goal, break it into smaller milestones - mini objectives that mark progress on your journey Break those milestones into small, daily actions. These wouldn’t and shouldn’t be big and audacious. Just the little grind - the small things that move you closer to your milestones every day.…
