| 6/5/26 | ![]() Should I Stay or Should I Go? How to Commit Without Losing Yourself | "Should I stay or should I go?" is one of the most common questions people bring to coaching, whether about a relationship, a job, or any major commitment. What if the hang-up is in the question itself? In this episode, Joe and Brett explore what's really being asked underneath the surface and why the path forward rarely lies in pros and cons lists. Together, they unpack two distinct versions of this question, the deeper fear that drives it, and what it actually looks like to commit to something without losing yourself in the process. Together, they explore: - The two types of people asking this question: chronic askers vs. those facing it for the first time - Why this question is really about enmeshment vs. self-abandonment - How childhood experiences of being asked to please a parent create fear of commitment - Doubt as the surface emotion - "Will I get more growth if I stay or if I leave?" when this is wisdom and when it's avoidance - Why idealizing the future (staying or leaving) keeps you stuck in the present - The Buckminster Fuller move: showing up uncompromisingly as yourself - The trap of "being yourself" with a chip on your shoulder - What real commitment actually means — and what it doesn't - Drawing boundaries without closing your heart | — | ||||||
| 5/22/26 | ![]() Stop Pushing Love Away: How to End Self-Sabotage and Let Love In | Most of us say we want love. So why do we push it away the moment it arrives? In this episode, Joe and Brett explore the surprisingly complex reasons we sabotage the very thing we say we want most; and why love, more than almost any other emotion, requires a nervous system that can tolerate it. Together, they unpack five core patterns that get in the way of receiving love, and offer concrete practices for expanding your capacity to give and receive it. Together, they explore: - The stone-faced baby experiments and how attachment becomes attention-seeking - Why "love" in adulthood is often just the attention strategies that worked in childhood - Jealousy as the perfect example of pushing love away while demanding it - Wired together, fired together: how love gets fused with criticism, abuse, or engulfment - Why receiving adoration you don't feel worthy of makes you physically uncomfortable - The identity-level confirmation bias that keeps us seeing rejection over love - How love can dissolve the sense of self and why that's terrifying - Why positive emotions are often harder to feel than negative ones - "Love is a light shined into a dark ocean". Why everything unloved surfaces when love arrives - Self-compassion as a better predictor of healthy relationships than self-esteem - Practical experiments: emotional inquiry, opening your heart in reps, identifying what's wired with love, and noticing care you've been missing | — | ||||||

| 1/16/26 | ![]() Ending The War With Your Wants (Joe Hudson and Alexa Kistler) | Wanting is one of our most powerful levers for change. Not what you want, but your relationship to wanting itself. In this episode, Joe sits down with AOA facilitator Alexa Kistler to unpack why so many people are at war with their desires and how ending that war offers a path out of suffering. They discuss: - Wanting, craving, and aversion - Childhood patterns that take us away from wanting - Identity shifts when you allow yourself to want - How not owning desire makes you more manipulable, not less - Why chasing outcomes creates suffering, even when you succeed | — | ||||||
| 1/9/26 | ![]() Bite-Sized Teaching Series: The More Stuck You Feel, The Closer You Are To Freedom | You're about to discover why that promotion you won't ask for, that business you won't start, and that conversation you keep avoiding all come from the same illusion. → Turn your fear back into excitement (free mini-course): https://www.artofaccomplishment.com/resources/procrastination Joe reveals the counterintuitive reason you feel 'stuck' and can't seem to move forward on your goals. It has nothing to do with a lack of options and everything to do with a fear of consequences. These insights come from Joe's three decades of working intimately with some of the world's most productive people, from billionaires to Fortune 500 CEOs, and uncovering the emotional patterns that drive procrastination. | — | ||||||
| 1/2/26 | ![]() How I Learned To Stop Fighting Myself | Joe let Brett ask him anything at all about his life, and there were SO many questions, but ultimately his curiosity lead him to explore the story beneath the teaching: what was Joe’s path? How did he come to the work that he now shares with the world? Joe started out as a young man whose curious and open spirit blended with a serious rebellious streak that opened up a unique path. A bit of luck, love, and sometimes painful adventuring through the world, shaped him into the Joe we know and love today. Tune in to get a glimpse of the many facets that comprise Joe’s life. | — | ||||||
| 12/26/25 | ![]() Bite-Sized Teaching Series: Ambition and Doubt | Doubt isn't protecting you from failure, it's protecting you from your feelings. For every ambitious person, doubt is the silent killer of greatness. Joe breaks down what he's learned from working with Silicon Valley's top performers: doubt isn't an intellectual problem, it’s a misunderstood emotional signal. It’s a protective mechanism to stop you from feeling something uncomfortable, whether it’s a fear of failure or even a fear of success. | — | ||||||
| 12/19/25 | ![]() Perfectionism | Brett and Joe have nailed the PERFECT episode, which means they can finally get this podcast launched! Now they just need to get the perfect album art, title, set…and the perfect list of everything they need to do before they can launch the perfect podcast! In this episode, our hosts tackle everyone’s favourite Achilles heel: perfectionism. It shows up in individuals, teams, organizations, and entire societies. They explore where it comes from, why it has increased dramatically over the past decades, and how it narrows perception, creates internal chaos, and—paradoxically—produces worse results. They discuss: - Perfectionism is fundamentally fear-based, not excellence-based - How perfectionism predicts the same negative health outcomes as chronic stress - The rise of perfectionism over the past 30 years and why things haven’t gotten better - Binary thinking and the illusion of a perfect end state - The childhood roots of perfectionism and chaotic environments - Why perfectionism actually *creates* the chaos it’s trying to prevent - How organizations unintentionally reward fear and stagnation - Practical ways to work with fear, the inner critic, and the nervous system | — | ||||||
| 12/12/25 | ![]() Bite-Sized Teaching Series: Why Chaos Is Good For You (The Forest Fire Theory) | Chaos is evolution's favorite tool; learn how to use it for growth. When faced with chaos, we often react with fear, limiting our thinking. Joe encourages us to fully feel the fear and to see opportunity within it. By learning to fully feel our emotions we can find greater wisdom and a path forward, even in the midst of chaos. | — | ||||||
| 12/5/25 | ![]() Slimy vs. Authentic Charisma — Joe and Dr. K on Charisma on Command | In this special crossover episode, we are republishing Joe’s appearance on *Charisma on Command* with Charlie Houpert alongside Dr. Alok “Dr. K” Kanojia. They explore what charisma really is and why genuine presence and emotional awareness matter far more than polished performance. Charlie’s opening question, “What is charisma?” unfolds into a deep exploration of authenticity, self-love, and emotional intelligence. Joe and Dr. K contrast performative charisma (built on control, manipulation, or validation-seeking) with true charisma, which arises from inner alignment, vulnerability, and purpose. The three of them discuss how self-acceptance, emotional integration, and listening reshape the way we connect and influence others. | — | ||||||
| 11/21/25 | ![]() Overcoming Procrastination (Coaching Session Breakdown) | If you struggle with perfectionism, fear of success, or feeling like you have a "tyrant boss" inside your head, this breakdown reveals exactly how to shift that dynamic. In this episode, Joe and Brett analyze a rapid coaching session with a man who is a high-performer for others but frozen when it comes to his own business. They uncover how "stories" about perfectionism keep us stuck, and why trying to be a "good provider" can actually stop you from doing the work. As the man works with Joe to peel back the layers of what’s causing his procrastination, Brett and Joe dive deeper into the topic of procrastination, dissecting the root causes that cause us to freeze when we wish to act and paths forward for reframing both how to approach and to view procrastination. They discuss: - The idea of procrastinator as an identity - Self-judgement, perfectionism, and shame - The emotional roots of procrastination - How to dissolve stuckness - Practical ways to approach procrastination | — | ||||||
| 11/7/25 | ![]() A Company Culture That Moves At The Pace of AI | In this episode, Joe sits down with Johannes Landgraf, CEO of Ona, to dive deep on how bringing the tenets of AOA’s teachings to the company has transformed their leadership, culture, and performance in the fast-moving world of AI. From quadrupling revenue to spending their days with greater enjoyment, Johannes shares how the seeming paradox of scaling a company while deepening connection has impacted him personally and the company at large. They discuss: - How AI and rapid innovation challenge traditional leadership models - Conflict as a source of clarity and alignment - The role of vulnerability and transparency in building organizational trust - Ona’s principles and how their iterative process - Lessons from Ona’s transformation - And much more | — | ||||||
