Tell Your Story: Healing and Connection
Tell Your Story. In this latest solo shot episode, I was inspired by a recent post by a former guest of our podcast Danny Page. In a very short period of time, he has had a profound impact of my life and journey within my own personal development. His recent post inspired me to share my perspective on why it is so vital for all of us… and especially YOU… to tell your story. I truly believe that each one of us possess a power and obligation of leadership in telling our story to the world. For I in that telling, you are able to both heal and connect with…

Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds…..
“Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds….But Rewards Are Great Only Because So Few Succeed!”~~ The Greatest Salesman In The World This morning I decided to dive back into this easy but powerful read written by Og Mandino….and after having read this and underlining it, I sat on these words for some time. What is it in life which we consider ‘rewards’? What is it in life which we feel we’ve been rewarded for our efforts, yet truly looking at the so-called ‘reward’, we are unfulfilled? It might be that the reward we felt we earned never caused us to grow because we played it safe. Here are a few kickers…

Gimme 5! #2 Breathing and Meditation
Gimme 5! #2 Breathing & Meditation In this 2nd video in a five part series, I dive into the immense power/focus that deep breathing and meditation can bring you. And don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you to run to the top of the mountains in Tibet or join some woo woo new age cult. Nope. Just wake up in the morning, set a timer for 5 minutes, deep breath and let your mind wander. You’ll be stunned how just these few short minutes of focused attention on your breath and thoughts can ramp up your focus and personal development progress. A great resource to dive deeper into breathing…

Quotas!
Quotas! Well, now that Thanksgiving is over and so many of us are “thankful” for our families, friends, and whatever else we post on social media….how many of us are truly grateful and appreciative on a daily basis? You know….flowers, chocolates, a card, and dinner on Valentine’s Day! Support the Veterans and troops on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day! Or showing up to church one day out of the year for Christmas! If this sounds familiar, how do we change this attitude of meeting a “quota” of thanks for days like yesterday, gifts to show our love on a certain day in February, as well as thanking a Veteran or…

Stepping Into Your Strength!
Stepping Into Your Strength! Or as my partner says…..Walking Into Your Wheelhouse!! You see, we are all gifted with something that separates us from many. This gift at times is brought about in a ways we would never want to learn as much as we know. Personally, I have overcome a moment in life as I sat in my bedroom as a grown man and father to two children…..tears, fear and hopelessness filled my heart as I sat on my bed with a Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge inserted into my mouth as my finger began pulling on the trigger. On top of this, I have dealt with over 15…

Demanding Of Others
Demanding Of Others! All of the inspiration of this goes to Eric Thomas, otherwise known as E.T. The HipHop Preacher! The question is how demanding of others are we, rather than hold the expectations or demands of ourselves? Don’t You Dare Fail Me! Don’t You Dare Let Me Down! My Expectations Of You Are High, So Don’t Lose My Respect! Does any of this sound familiar? Your Success Is Dependent Upon You And Your Actions Hold Your Self Respect At A Higher Level Than That Which You Hold On Others Critique And Dissect Your Life And Actions, Rather Than Continuously Critiquing Others Show Others How It Is Done, Rather Than…

Sensitive….Or Simply Butthurt?
Sensitive….Or Simply Butthurt? Now….Now! Have we decided to make fun of those who may be overly sensitive? Listen….we get it! We understand sensitive, and even being a lil butthurt about events or scenarios in life……but when and how does it end? When will those around move forward with their goals and dreams as they begin to create the life they’re meant to live for the betterment of themselves and others as they begin to exclude you from their lives because of your always being overly sensitive? This isn’t an episode to make fun of the sensitive, because we all have certain aspects of life that are sensitive to each of…

A Salute To Veterans!
A Salute To Veterans! With all the chaos in today’s world, will we lose sight in what today stands for? Our country seems to be divided…. Anger and hatred rears it’s ugly head as this nation seems to be divided. Across the world there are those who still have no choice to sit and pout. They stand watch for the greater good. They are soldiers representing this country of The United States, as well as to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. It is the soldier who is willing to sacrifice their life for those to burn the flag which blankets their lives with security! It is the…

Are You Fooling Yourself?
Are You Fooling Yourself…..In Attempts To Fool Others? Yes, this one was a tough one as Jason and myself shared our personal experiences on this topic. In fooling yourself that you may know more than you actually know…. In fooling yourself that you are dialed in on all aspects of your life as you attempt to help others, you may be actually hurting them rather than helping them, even though your intentions were meant for good. Now we’re not taking away from good intentions….. Jason and I have recently lived this…..and have discussed this with mentors and a couple individuals we look up to. Know what you know…. Share what you are…
