When I sent out a survey to all of you last year, a huge number of you said that one of the major reasons you feel (or have felt) stuck in life is because of a lack of time. In fact, 60% of you said that the reason you feel worn-out, stressed-out and unsuccessful is because of a lack of time. So today, we’re talking with an expert not only about time management, but about life management. That’s the bigger issue. We all have the same amount of time each day. And for a third of the time, we’re sleeping. So, we have to figure-out why there’s a gap between what you want to do and what you actually end-up doing with the other 16 hours each day. And I know this: we all have demands placed on us that we can’t control. But even in those times, we can create an ecosystem within our mindset about how we’re approaching the things that need to get done in the most effective and efficient way. Today’s guest is someone that knows how to get things done. And get them done well. His name is Lee Cockerell. If you’ve been to Walt Disney World in the last 20 years, you’ve experienced the precision and excellence of Lee Cockerell. Who is Lee at Disney? He is the retired executive vice president of operations for Walt Disney World Resort. The whole thing. He led a team of 40,000 Cast Members and was responsible for the operations of 20 resort hotels, 4 theme parks, 2 water parks and the ESPN Sports Complex. As you can imagine, Lee had to become a time management expert, first as a means of survival and then as a way to help others make the best use of their time. So today, we’re answering your questions: “How do I prioritize my time so that my health and my family get the best of me?” “How do I say ‘yes’ to the things that are going to bring the greatest return?” “How do I prioritize the tasks I’m faced with each day?” “How do I become more efficient on the job?” This man set the standard for professionalism and customer service excellence in one of the most recognized companies…in the world. It was all on his watch. I trust that after having listened to this conversation, you’re going to walk away more equipped to simply do life better. And win. And get-up when you fall. And win again.

Somewhere along the course of life, we get complicated. And what I mean by that is circumstances often outside our control cause us to see ourselves and the world around us with a measure of skepticism, self-doubt, perfectionism, workaholism, insecurity, and shame. And I think a lot of it comes from the felt need to self-protect. That’s why, in the words of our guest, international bestselling author of “Loveable,” Dr. Kelly Flanagan, “the little one inside you is your truest self—the you who existed before things got confusing.” Said simply, there’s a worthy yet wounded little one in all of us. In Loveable: Embracing What Is Truest About You, So You Can Truly Embrace Your Life, Dr. Flanagan reveals the core insight gleaned from his years of clinical work: you are here for a reason, yet you cannot truly awaken to it until you have first embraced your truest, worthiest self and then allow yourself to be truly embraced by others. In other words, we are here to experience worthiness, belonging, and purpose, but they can only be truly experienced in that order. And that is the focus of today’s conversation.

Weaving heart-warming storytelling, gentle insights, and the wisdom of Dr. Flanagan's Christian tradition--including his belief that we are all "the living, breathing bearers of the eternal, transcendent, and limitless Love that spun the planets and hung the stars"--these pages invite you to remember the name you were given before all other names: Loveable. About Dr. Kelly Flanagan Kelly graduated with his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Penn State University and is co-founder of Artisan Clinical Associates in Naperville, IL. Several years ago, he discovered writing was the thing he never knew he always wanted to do, so he began the now popular blog, UnTangled, where he writes weekly about how to live redemptive stories right now. He is the author of THE MARRIAGE MANIFESTO and his first full-length book, LOVEABLE, will be published by Zondervan in March 2017.

Let’s cut right to the chase. Because it’s February. And because cupid is on the move, I’ll just say it: God wants you to have amazing sex. He designed it. And He wants you to enjoy it in the covenant of marriage. But here’s the thing—and this is why we’re even talking about it today—culture has hijacked sex and prescribed it through the jaded, broken, convoluted lens of 50 Shades of Grey and mass media as a whole. And just because people asked, we’re not talking about technique today. That’s not even close to the focus. Instead we’re talking about the original design and intent for this incredible God-given gift to married couples. Joining me today are relationship coaches, speakers, and founders of NoSmallLife, Chris and Megan Rea. And today, we are talking about how to have better sex in your marriage. But our focus is what happens way before the bedroom. We shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about sex. In fact, I believe if more married couples engaged in open, healthy, appropriate conversation with their kids, we’d chip away at the polluted, skewed counterfeit that culture is propagating each and every day. Our conversation is both serious and light-hearted. We laugh. We joke. We have fun. But know this: our goal is to celebrate and promote the original design God intended for marriage. Singles, take notes. File them away in a time capsule for use in the future.
