An unfulfilled life has less to do with what it is - and more with how you see it. Your fulfillment is often on the other side of a tough decision or conversation. It is in the resolving of conflict and the releasing of self-judgment that we grow the most. So, if you feel stuck in your career, relationships, or how you think about yourself, it’s time to “TAKE IT OFF” and show up as your authentic self. Joshua A. Fields and Jeremy Rubin co-host the “Take it Off” Podcast. As a master practitioner of the Energy Leadership Index with 15 years of executive leadership experience at a Fortune 10 company, Certified Executive Coach Joshua Fields has a proven track record of creating high-performing teams and environments for personal transformation. Renowned author, speaker, and founder of FACE Consulting, Jeremy Rubin, immediately impacts groups large and small using humor, personal stories, and practical, result-driven applications. These two have brought unique life experiences, skill sets, and energy to create an experience like no other. The mission is simple but not easy. It is to empower people with the skills to see and accept themselves and others clearly and without judgment to live a more authentic life. So, if you’re ready to live with purpose and curiosity and to get clear on what you want for your life, join us weekly at the “Take it Off” Podcast. Some concepts are based on and inspired by the coach training program Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).

Ever grappled with the moral maze of jamming to a hit track by an artist mired in controversy? That's precisely what we tear into, as Joshua and Jeremy Rubin, wrestle with the ethics of consuming arts like R. Kelly, Diddy, Chris Brown, and Kanye West. Prepare for a rollercoaster of deep dives into accountability, the impact on victims, and the societal messages we amplify with our playlists. It's a thought feast for music enthusiasts and culture critics alike as we weigh the heavy questions of separating the art from the artist and the role of public opinion in shaping an artist's legacy.
Has an artist's personal life ever soured a song you loved? We hash out that very conundrum, dissecting the complex cocktail of emotions that arises when our favorite creators fall from grace. From the visceral reactions that span empathy to outrage to the tug-of-war between a fan's adoration and the need for accountability, we leave no stone unturned. Join us as we navigate the minefield of personal connections versus public transgressions and ponder how these dynamics shift our perception of the musicians we thought we knew.
Lastly, we anchor this episode in the transformative journey of self-discovery and growth. Acknowledging the quirks of balancing personal exposure with social media boundaries, we toss a dash of humor, inviting you to laugh with us. But don't let the chuckles fool you; we're serious about investing in dreams, setting boundaries, and the paramount importance of self-care. We challenge you, our Take it Off family, to engage and possibly stumble upon an enlightening moment as we explore the art of setting boundaries, not just in the social media sphere but in life as a whole.

What if the very essence of masculinity, as we've been taught to understand it, is toxic? Is it possible that societal norms planted during our formative years may have rendered us emotionally repressed, aggressive, and avoidant of vulnerability?

Have you ever wondered why we often assume the worst in people or get defensive in conversations? It might be your ego talking. This episode is a deep dive into exploring the role of ego in our lives. We discuss how an inflated sense of self can hinder our compassion, encourage defensiveness, and even make us deny our accountability. But it's not all negative—sometimes, ego can result from our success, making it tricky to manage and control.
We also look into the role of ego in our relationships and how it can be a barrier to authenticity. The ego can prevent us from taking risks, making tough decisions, and connecting with people who could help us live more genuinely. It even convinces us to prioritize safety and comfort over personal growth. However, there's a flip side—when ambition and ego collide, it can lead to a relentless chase for success, trapping us in a cycle of constant striving and dissatisfaction.
Finally, we grapple with the paradox of ambition and ego. While ambition can fuel our desire for success, unchecked ego can distract us from the small, joyous moments along the journey. We invite you to join us in questioning whether the chase for success and the compromises we make for our ego-driven identities are worth it. This episode promises a reflective and enlightening exploration of the tricky balance between ego, ambition, and authenticity.

If left unchecked, codependency can be a vicious cycle - wreaking havoc on yourself and the relationships you value the most. Putting your basic wants and needs aside for that of others is not a “surface-level” issue. When you go deeper, you can say that positioning yourself as overly friendly or flexible (significantly when it doesn’t benefit you) is rooted in trauma.

There is no “getting away” from the challenges of life! But for some, these circumstances can feel so overwhelming that they take their own. Depression doesn’t always look like what you think it should. And none of us are above feeling hopeless and alone - even our “Strong Friends.” This is why it is so important to reach out to your people. Stop, check in, and double-click. Because there may come a day when you can’t ask, “Are you ok?” If you are human - especially a strong one - you need someone to lean on too.

Being a parent isn’t easy, primarily when we don’t deal with our trauma and pain. Our parenting strategies can be nothing more than a passing of our pain - disguised as protection - if we aren’t aware. As kids, our parents’ judgments, assumptions, interpretations, and limiting beliefs (J.A.I.L.) are passed on to us as the truth. It is our job to assist our children in finding their truth; by allowing them to go through experiences that cultivate the resilience and perspective they need to move toward what they want.

It is human to run away from pain. No one wants to feel the discomfort hurt brings. That being said, there is no growth without it. Pain provides us with vital information that equips us to see more opportunity and available options. This evolving force gives us a greater capacity to succeed if we will “sit in it”. In this story driven episode, we dive into the advantages of embracing pain and how to use its’ power to get clear on what you actually want.

Unbeknownst to you, high expectations in every area of your life are a recipe for a disappointing and unfulfilled existence. When standards are high, from the smallest detail to the biggest aspiration, this can be a clue that you are trying to script out a “perfect” life. But what if we told you that very few people are reading life from your written pages? We all have competing priorities, and peace comes in accepting what is - more of the time. Your high expectations may be running and ruining your life and getting in the way of the most precious commodity you have; your relationships.

Often, we look at a toxic environment and define it as something we have no control over. But the truth is, an environment - toxic or healthy - is composed of the relationships in it. These relationships are your choice. Whether you know it or not, you are the creator in every environment you decide to participate. So, whether in your work, romantic, or social relationships, you have complete control over how and with whom you spend your time. Your freedom is on the other side of a tough decision. And that decision ALWAYS includes the relationships with which you experience your life.

Forgiveness matters and it is for you, not them! Can we be real for a moment? Holding on to that “thing” doesn’t make you any stronger or more resilient. There is a connection between your overall health and the things you struggle to let go of. TAKE IT OFF and LET IT GO!!! If you are finally ready to learn how to forgive, this is the episode for you.
Take it Off. See. Love. Grow.

An unfulfilled life has less to do with what it is - and more with how you see it. Your fulfillment is often on the other side of a tough decision or conversation. It is in the resolving of conflict and the releasing of self-judgment that we grow the most. So, if you feel stuck in your career, relationships, or how you think about yourself, it’s time to “TAKE IT OFF” and show up as your authentic self.
The “Take it Off” Podcast is co-hosted by Joshua A. Fields and Jeremy Rubin. As a master practitioner of the Energy Leadership Index with 15 years of executive leadership experience at a Fortune 10 company, Gold Level Associate Certified Coach (by the International Coaching Federation Standards) Joshua Fields has a proven track record of creating high-performing teams and environments for personal transformation. Renowned author, speaker, and founder of FACE Consulting, Jeremy Rubin, makes an immediate impact on groups large and small using humor, personal stories, and practical, result-driven applications. These two have brought their unique life experiences, skill sets, and energy to create an experience like no other.
The mission is simple but not easy. It empowers people with the skills to see and accept themselves and others clearly and without judgment to live a more authentic life. So, if you’re ready to live with purpose and curiosity and to get clear on what you want for your life, join us weekly at the “Take it Off” Podcast.
You will hear concepts and ideas inspired by the coach training program Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
