Good Shift - Nature Doesn't Hurry - E227
In this good shift episode, Dr. JC Doornick brings you the best of the Makes Sense Substack live in his Wednesday series. He begins with a line attributed to Lao Tzu: nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. From there he asks a simple, funny question: do trees worry? Drawing on his own healing journey while contending with cancer, he explores why the present moment may be the only place life actually happens. Then he takes on the hard part: what do we do with goals, hopes, and dreams, which all live in the future? You may find a different way to hold a dream without letting it hold you.

Steven Kotler - We Have Godlike Power and Stone Age Brains - E226
Meet Steven Kotler, founder and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, a Distinguished Research Fellow at Florida Atlantic University, and co-author with Peter Diamandis of We Are as Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance. In this conversation, Steven breaks down what flow is, where it came from, and why it shows up in our best memories. He tells the story of the day a single surf session pulled him out of years of illness and a place of deep despair. I share my own stage 4 renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and what flow and gratitude mean to me right now. We also get into healing, group flow, and what information overload does to our attention. Then Steven gives one simple, specific practice you can start this week. Stay with me. Content note: This episode includes a discussion of suicidal thoughts and serious illness.

For People Feeling Behind In Life - E225
On this Makes Sense episode, Dr. JC Doornick takes on the quiet questions most of us avoid: Am I doing enough? Am I behind? Do I matter? Drawing on ideas explored by Alan Watts and on his own experience living with stage 4 cancer, he asks whether we have turned purpose, achievement and legacy into evidence we collect to prove our existence has value. He walks through how ordinary moments become extraordinary when you stop treating them as the space between you and something important. He also shows how to tell the difference between creating from expression and creating from deficiency. If you have ever felt behind, or wondered whether your life has to earn its meaning, do not go anywhere.

Good Shift - What Are You Waiting For? - E224
In this Good Shift episode, Dr. JC Doornick, the Dragon, hears a David Guetta and OneRepublic song and finds it lands differently than ever before. Navigating cancer, he asks one question: what are you waiting for? He walks through the quiet assumption that there will always be time to call the friend, hold his wife longer, or follow the desire knocking at his door. He then connects it to Martin Luther King Jr.’s “fierce urgency of now.” This is not about hustling harder or living at full volume. It is about noticing what deserves your life while you are living it. Stay with me.

Jack Daly - The Plan He Wrote at 13 Still Runs His Life Today - E223
My guest today is Jack Daly, a serial entrepreneur, sales leader, author, and endurance athlete. He built six companies into national firms, sold two of them to Wall Street firms, led sales organizations numbering in the thousands, and is a former US Army captain. He has also finished 15 Ironmans and run a marathon in all 50 states. What matters most is what life taught him along the way, including his own battle with cancer and the loss of his wife, Bonnie. Jack explains why a clear picture of your destination beats a mission statement on a wall, why the best salespeople stop selling, and how a goal written down at 13 still guides his week. We also go to the hard place: what he chose to do with the time he had left with Bonnie, and the permission she gave him to build a bigger life. Stay with me.

What Cancer Taught Me About Time - E222
Most of us are remarkably good at preparing to live and surprisingly bad at actually living. In this solo episode, Dr. JC Doornick shares what his cancer diagnosis has taught him about the illusion of tomorrow, why urgency is not the same as speed, and how much of our lives we put on layaway while waiting for something to change. Along the way he draws on Steve Jobs, Pema Chödrön, Randy Pausch, and a song that stopped him in his tracks, and he introduces “carency,” the currency of our care: the time, energy, and attention we spend every day. You will leave with a simple challenge for this week. Stay with me.

Good Shift - Your Personal Board of Directors: Ask the Giants a Better Question - E221
In this episode of Good Shift, Dr. JC Doornick brings one of the best ideas from the Makes Sense Substack to the show: a personal board of directors made up of ten people whose lives, ideas, or courage inspired you. Not a boardroom with quarterly numbers, but framed pictures on your wall that you can consult at any fork in the road. Dr. JC shares the questions he imagines bringing to his own board, explains why the point is different lenses and not agreement, and walks you through a simple exercise you can start today.

Evan Carmichael - Rejection to 4 Million Subscribers: The YouTube Growth Playbook - E220
Evan Carmichael turned a year of near silence into one of the biggest YouTube channels for entrepreneurs on the internet, with millions of subscribers. He built and sold a biotech software company and raised venture capital before he ever pressed record. Today he trains thought leaders through his Brandlytics software and his Movement Makers program. In this conversation, we get into why he refuses to chase negativity for views, what it took to survive years of slow growth as a self-described introvert, and the difference between a hook and a pattern interrupt. We also cover the retention mistake that quietly kills great episodes, and how to borrow belief on the days when nothing is working. Stay with me.
