Motivated? Or Just Posting Memes?

About this episode

Bill Moran discusses the importance of real friendships, the impact of motivational memes, and shares personal anecdotes about public speaking mishaps.

On this solo episode of Billified, Bill's mind is all over the place...which is exactly where the best conversations start. A college buddy brings Bill a gift that sparks memories of questionable college decisions and reminds him why maintaining real friendships matters more than ever in an increasingly isolated world. Then Bill recounts accidentally dropping an F-bomb while on stage at a charity event for middle school girls basketball and begins wondering if podcasting has permanently damaged his ability to speak in public. From there, Bill dives into the endless stream of motivational memes and social media wisdom clogging our feeds. Are people posting them because they need the reminder, want the attention, or are secretly taking shots at someone named Corey? Bill has thoughts. The episode wraps with a conversation about motivation, discipline, personal growth, showing up for people, and why the folks who seem to have their lives together probably didn't get there by reposting inspirational quotes. Real friendships. Real conversations. Real growth. And at least one completely unnecessary F-bomb. Become a supporter of this podcast…
