Season 1

Its difficult to underestimate the value of a strong relationship; whether it's your spouse, a best friend, or a mentor in your life, we simply need another person to lean on . Someone's that's always there for us. I sincerel...

When we put pen to paper (especially blue ink on white paper), we connect the physical (writing) to the mental (thoughts and subconscious). It helps us tremendously as I hopefully explain in this l'il podcast. This is SO impo...

One of the recurring themes here on SMFRThePodcast is... da-da-da-da! Overthinking. We all do it and it can truly affect our mental clairty, if not even our overall mental health. But here are some points to consider to use o...

Before starting, here's a disclaimer: this is the most Un-SMFR, Un-Steve Reeb podcast you'll ever see and hear and I assure you, it's not political. It's not about Trump, or blah blah blah. It's about We The People finally seeing the government for what it is: freeloading bums sucking us dry of our…

Seneca was a Roman Stoic philosopher from 4 BC to 65 BC, but his teachings and writings are still very significant today. One of the most influential Stoic thinkers, his teachings and writings focus on ethics, self- control, ...

Here are a few things my Dad taught me perhaps he didn't teach me directly, but in observing this wonderful gentleman I learned so much about how to be just that - a gentleman. Just simple things that people notice and respec...

The Rosenthal Effect is a famous 1960's study that really illuminates and ties together so much of what we discuss here on SMFRThePodcast. Anything we can do to help us be successful in our minds, in our work and family liver...

Ever felt ready to give up? Yup, me too. But before we do, let's give it one more try. Persistence beats perfection, and history is littered with people who just gave up too soon, as well as the Edisons and Lincolns of the wo...

Here are 10 little things that we can incorporate into our daily lives - not only to make us more attractive - but to boost our confidence and self-esteem. I found these on the ol' interwebs and thought it was worth sharing w...

Steve's Harvey's journey from homeless to a household name has been popping up on my social media feeds lately. Perhaps you've seen it; he talks about living in his car for 3 years before getting his break. It's really good d...

One of our mantras here is "taking time for ourselves". Very true, but if we just sit at home and isolate ourselves - well, that's not good either. Let's learn to find a balance in our quiet time alone, and our need to get ou...

Here are a few reminders that can help get our days started with quiet power (i.e., confidence). Some days we jump out of bed and - perhaps we're late or whatever - we forget to "get our mind right" with a few good ol' positi...

10 small things (that aren't really small)... I saw this the other day and immediately screenshot it so I could share them with you. So are so many things that we do for others without thinking - or thinking that they're no b...

The Art of Asking is something I couldn't wait to share with you - the premise of it hadn't even occurred to me until I stumbled across this book by Amanda Palmer. So many folks (myself included) have viewed asking as a weakness, or even as begging. It's neither of those things - it's actually a st…

Matthew McConaughey is a big-time actor, but he grew up quite poor and has had quite a life. He started keeping a journal at age 14 and his book "Greenlights" is basically a summarization of the years of all those journals. T...

We've most likely heard of The Law of Attraction, but what about The Law of Vibration? They work hand-in-hand, and it turns out that you can't have one without the other. To wit: We attract what we put out (vibes); it's cause and effect in their most life applicable form. Pretty simple too. So let'…

If you Like/Subscribe/Comment (and I know you do 'cause you're here), you know your ol' buddy Steve loves his self-help books. But they all really come down to the things in the five sentences discussed on this episode. It's really not rocket science y'all, it's simply belief in ourselves, control …

Usually I share things that work for your ol' buddy Steve as far as navigating our days and living our best lives, but now I have a request of you. My lovely wife Beverly suggested that I ask more questions - and so in this e...

An oft-discussed topic - and perhaps even our mantra here on SMFRThePodcast - is The Golden Rule. Growing up I was taught this life lesson by my dad, Clarence, and although he never really called it that he led by the example...

The title kind of says it all, but when we look at our current problems in the past tense, we can basically re-program our mind for success. Hey, you know I'm the guinea pig here lol - I try this stuff myself before passing i...

Does your mind mind get cluttered and totally screw up your plans - or your sleep? Me too, and here are five ways to alleviate that mess (and my favorite is included at the end). Once you get the hang of it, life just gets ea...

We've discussed this before here, but The Magic Of Thinking Big has remained one of my favorite books over the years. Dr David Schwartz wrote it back in 1959 and it's more important today than ever. We encounter so many distractions, so many things pulling us in every direction... and this book has…

Always a great time sharing the mic with my buddy Carter. In this episode we discuss his predictions and thoughts on the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. He has some awesome insight and is very well-spoken on many subjects, sports-rel...

Let's change our outlook on life by tweaking things a bit: taking walks, biking, better eating habits, that sort of thing. Nothing drastic just simple easy changes. Lord knows, I'm no doctor (maybe a doctor of love but that's...
