Simple Truths
Simple Truths With all that has transpired this past week with the officers taking the lives of two black men, as well as what had become some backlash from this taking place in Dallas…..let’s say this world, especially the U.S. has sensed a great deal of tension. The truth is there are shitty people of all races….. There are horrible individuals that are both male and female….. There are certain organizations which contain a few bad seeds…… The simple truth the chaos seen has begun dividing certain individuals, based upon what is being fed to us on the outside. As I’ve personally experienced, there are always two sides, if not…

Give Yourself A Chance!
Give Yourself A Chance! Take Chances! There’s not a lot I need to write in this particular blog post for this episode. After recording it, I realized it’s in the listening to the intensity, passion, frustration and even a bit of anger in my voice that will serve you much better today. It’s an Inspire the Fire Friday episode, and this one came as a results of our very first customer Kimberly sharing a strong and simple statement in one of her recent videos on her #7dfbvc. (7 day Facebook video challenge. Check out the hashtag and see what it’s all about.) She spoke out and spoke up asking the…

Fueling Your Why: Justin St.Pierre
Fueling Your Why: Justin St. Pierre Some call them “bombshells”….. Those moments in life when our realities were just crushed by an event or incident, causing us major pain and influencing us to take steps to escape until we hopefully wake from the nightmare which has just occurred. We lose ourselves in destructive behavior Violence Lack of concern for others Drugs Alcohol Meaningless relationships And the list goes on and on. In this episode listen in to how Justin found his world turned upside down from a tragic loss, causing him to lose himself to a crutch and the excuses which took him away from who he was. There is no…

Independence
Independence Happy Fourth Of July, for those of you in the states! Through the barbecues, fireworks, and festivities…..what does this day represent to you? And how can we apply to our personal lives what this day represents? This past week, myself and Jason participated in Danny Page’s “7 Day Facebook Video Challenge”……. A challenge where we expose our truths…..and by that, I mean the unedited versions of ourselves. The lies we tell ourselves as well as the lies we tell others end up constricting us. They hinder us from the freedoms of who we really are as individuals. They keep us from being individuals with faults and not allowing ourselves…

Silence Never Serves!
SPEAKING UP TO SERVE. In this episode of “Inspire the Fire Fridays“, I share a fast and furious perspective on how your silence never serves anyone. Not speaking up and speaking your mind is a complete betrayal of the gifts you’ve been given in your life. So I wanted to share both sides of the coin when it comes to either speaking up or staying silent and both the loss and the gain of either. You will hear the wonderful results and experiences after responding to a mistaken Facebook message that led to Eddie and I befriending a host of THE TOP health and fitness podcast on iTunes. You will…

Chances: You Never Know!
Chances: You Never Know! There are times in life where we come to the crossroads where action needs to be taken. There are times in our lives where all the study and preparation is great and all…..but it is all for not if there is no action to be taken. Chances: reaching out to a man about helping him with his event by having him as a guest on our podcast….. Chances: interviewing three of the four speakers to be taking stage at a first time event…. Chances: meeting many individuals from various backgrounds that are all in search of the same thing…. “Meltdown In The Desert” brought many individuals together for…

Your Best Friend Is Weeping…
Today I wanted to share with you a story. A story of your best friend. I want you to make sure and understand that you’ve had this best friend since the very day you arrived on this earth. And this best friend has never left your side. They’ve been through it with you every step of the way. The ups and downs, the pain and the power. All of it. Today I want to share a story with you about that best friend. And the fact that too many times they have sat next to you with their head in their hands weeping for you. I hope that today’s message…

Decisions
DECISIONS! There are times where the decisions we make will not be known as either right or wrong…..until the story has been written. Lebron James is a prime example of just that…… We fear criticism….. We fear judgement….. We fear the other side of the fence and it’s greener grass….. We fear that the decisions we make may have been the wrong one’s, but we forget who and what the process is going to create. Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers has just signified his decision to go back to his home team in attempt to win an NBA Championship…..and had he never pulled it off, it would have been…

Nothing and Everything!
Nothing or Everything. Which will it be for you? (Spoiler Alert! If you’ve never seen the movie 300, you might want to check it out first before listening in on this episode. Okay now let’s dive in!) A couple of nights ago, a couple of particular scenes from the movie 300 burst into my brain with ferocious intensity. I hadn’t seen the film in some time, (although now probably gonna watch it this weekend lol) but all of a sudden a message flooded my being. It has to do with what King Leonidas screams to his fellow men as the battle is about to begin. “GIVE THEM NOTHING! BUT TAKE…

Painting Your Life Canvas with Morgan Madden
Morgan Madden is throwing paint on the blank canvas of his life. And oh what a masterpiece he is seeking to create. I recently had the chance to meet and connect with Morgan at a recent entrepreneur event put on by Mark Hoverson. As I was hanging out enjoying a frosty beverage the first night, I noticed my great friend Brenda Gagne talking to this guy. (Along with his buddy Tim Spillane) It seemed that conversation was absolutely energized and there was a flow of connection and inspiration spiraling around him. So I just had to step up and introduce myself and said, “What the hell is going on over…
