Dudes Of Disruption

We are in an image conscious society. Every day we're bombarded with images and ideals that culturally are the accepted norms for what beauty is. The way others appear on the outside has us immediately forming an opinion about them, without knowing anything about them as a person. Their weight, skin color, clothes, hair or height all come into play and have a judgment attached to them, and that judgment is automatic, without realizing we do it. We have it that women and men should look a certain way. But what way is that? In this week’s show The Dudes will take on appearance and how some people are turning the norm on it’s head. From plus size models on the cover of sports illustrated to men & women refusing to accept what the media tells us and our youth what beautiful is. Joining the Dudes in studio is Sulma Arzu-Brown, Author of Bad Hair Does Not Exist!, a new bilingual book that encourages young Black, Afro-Latino, and multi-racial girls to see themselves, and their hair, as beautiful. She wrote

As the Presidential Race heats up and both parties get closer to finding their chosen candidate, one thing is clear: There is major disruption going on in politics and people are getting frustrated again. Inside of this disruption, do voters believe they can actually make a difference by getting engaged and even voting? With that sentiment comes a lot of resignation on our part, and rightfully so. Does our vote really matter? Can things really change for the better? Or, do we believe deep down that we are getting the same candidate again. This week The Dudes will discuss what happens when we become resigned and feel powerless and it goes way beyond choosing the leader of the free world. What happens when we give our power away in all areas of our lives, and what can we do to get it back?

*TOP 10 Podcast In Self-Help on Podomatic! Sports are a very dominant and defining part of our culture, whether it be playing or watching them. There are also a lot of stereotypes around sports as well: Dudes need to like sports, athletes are stupid jocks, girls who are into sports are tomboys, and if you’re a man and you aren’t into sports, well you’re just weird. These hangups are ingrained in us at a young age, and stick with us for the rest of our lives. It might seem trivial, but we have judgment around others depending on where we fall in line regarding sports. This week, which happens to be Superbowl Sunday, arguably the biggest sporting event of the year, the Dudes take on some controversial topics related to sports.

The term leadership is thrown around all the time - so, what does it really mean? In a world that's changing at record speed, what kind of leadership is needed today at work and beyond? From the time we are young, we hear stories of success by those who choose to be a leader. What leadership looks like today however is very different from the traditional views of the past. This shift has seen the rise of more thoughtful leaders, who give everyone around them the space to take charge and to be unleashed. At school, work or home we all have an opportunity to lead, whether we clearly have that role or not - at any moment you can be a leader. This week the Dudes will deliver rules of Disruptive Leadership and how to apply them, while taking a look at people who have stood out because they took risks and redefined the norm. The Dudes higher purpose is for everyone, and especially men, to ‘Leave Their Mark for The Good of All.’ Through transformational concepts, personal sharing, and playfulness the Dudes cove

Inspired by a video called 48 Things Men Hear In A Lifetime (That Are Bad For Everyone), the Dudes look at how men are perceived and the impact those beliefs have on how men show up in the world. For many men, the things we are told as children often sets the stage for our beliefs about ourselves that can be disempowering as we carry them through our adulthood. In an ever evolving world, does the role of a man which was defined centuries ago still serve the world? Today's world is demanding a different type of man to show up. So, What does it mean to be man today and how do men show up powerfully inside of this new paradigm? The Dudes share from personal experiences the impact that the traditional beliefs around men have had on them. In the end, we hope to understand the power of our beliefs and our relationship to what it means to be a man and how we can shift them to a place that serves the world differently.

We all start the new year with the promise of a fresh start, and the claims that “this will be the best year yet”. Our resolutions often read like a to-do list, and they’re likely many of the things you promised yourself would happen the year before. What is missing for most is the “why”. For example, we don’t think about why we want to lose weight or get healthier. It’s about leading a healthier life, and being there for our loved ones. That’s the why. The Dudes discuss that having a clear vision to a higher purpose and commitment to something larger than yourself, allows the space to be created for you to really make a difference way beyond your New Year's resolutions.

As each year comes to a close, we become reflective on the past 12 months and look forward to the promise of that fresh start on January 1st. The process of completion and celebration is an important one, yet often one we overlook in many areas of our lives. When we are incomplete, whether it be in relationships, at work, or in things that we promised ourselves or others, we carry many question marks around with us and it gets in the way of us being fully expressed and creating new things. The Dudes discuss where we are incomplete in our lives, acknowledging what we’ve accomplished and our own rituals for completion and celebration. And that there's always an opportunity to complete and celebrate - always.

As we approach the close of 2015 we're all caught up in a lot of doing with the end of year Holiday rush. Suddenly we’re aware of the homeless and those who have hit challenging times, giving gifts, being thoughtful, connecting with friends and family while getting in the “spirit”. It’s almost as if there’s a holiday switch that gets turned on around this time. But why only now? What would be possible if we could “be” in that spirit all year round? The Dudes will discuss the importance of disrupting the norm of being 'in the spirit' only around the holidays. It's possible to make the holidays your own, while making a difference in the world all year round. The Dudes higher purpose is for everyone, and especially men, to ‘Leave Their Mark for The Good of All.’ Through transformational concepts, personal sharing, and playfulness the Dudes cover a wide range of topics to support disrupting the automatics we encounter personally and in our organizations, so we can be self expressed and live the lives we’ve alwa

The Dudes are back with another disruptive, unapologetic, and fun show. This week's topic highlights that when our commitment is to fit in, it gets in the way of playing a big game in life. Ever wonder why you may be playing a small game or holding yourself back? The Dudes explore how sometimes we make ourselves smaller or take a back seat to others because we want to avoid surpassing, avoid being different and avoid from sticking out from your parents, siblings, friends, or coworkers. Often we have it that falling in line and playing small can create the illusion that we are safe and sound. And something gets lost and sacrificed when we are in that experience. This week the Dudes discuss the payoffs and the costs of making ourselves smaller and how we can tap into the things we can do to truly be ourselves and unleashed.
