This Season II Finale is a double feature. Enjoy 80 minutes of crying, laughing, real talk and allowing ourselves to hang loose and be silly with improv actor, teacher and facilitator Stacie B.

I know that this finale will inspire you to think of how you express yourself, what things may be repressed within you, and an overall picture of how expression impacts us through a lot of our trademark vulnerable storytelling which we hope you know us for by now.

It’s been an honor to create these episodes for you. Please help us fund the third Season by becoming a paid subscriber on findgumption.com.

How can we use technology to amplify our lives rather than drain them? I traveled to Switzerland to reconnect with my old roommate to discuss this very important question on my quest for gumption.

Check out this episode with engineer Islam El Ashi, as he takes us on his journey from optimizing ads for Twitter to using his abilities to help Syrian refugees, send a camera into the stratosphere, and now to help build the world's biggest internet computer blockchain.

His perspective will get you thinking about your everyday life and relationship with technology from a lens that will help you amplify your gumption versus letting tech drain it.

Enjoy and let us know if you started playing with these concepts in your life at findgumption.com

What do you do when your brother attempts suicide? How does one show up? What is best for them and where do you draw your own boundaries?

Join us on this new Gumpcast episode recorded a few months ago in San Francisco. I interviewed my guest about how he found gumption through that very hard time for his family's mental health.

In this tender episode, we cover:

- Our takeaways from the Wisdom 2.0 conference

- his story with his brother and how he addressed it as well as how it changed him

- The future of mental health

- We also attempt to define the word gumption!

Don't miss this one.

We want to know:

- Did you have any similar experiences how did you show up for your loved ones?

- What do you think is the best way to address such issues?
