State of the Mountain Address
That image above you see of course was our first logo for The Mindset Mountain Podcast. But over time, we realized we needed to pivot, to change or reframe our vision for that logo. Eddie and I had to make adjustments and changes in order to grow as a show as well as personal development leaders. That’s why today with this Wednesday episode we decided to sit down with you and share a sort of “state of the mountain address” discussing a few updates and improvements with the podcast, our products and services..hell even ourselves! You will hear us touch up on the following: How we must at times…

A Day In Power
A Day In Power There are times we stand in power…..a day where our power is exposed to the world, yet we fail to recognize it due to drowning in our struggles. Several years ago after I moved back to Arizona after having almost taken my life, and coming back to a world to rebuild myself……there was a time where I failed to realize the moment. The moment was witnessed by my kids, uncle, and a cousin I had just met for the first time. The above pic is a reminder of this day, that until now, I realized that it was a day that I didn’t even recognize I had…

Let The Tiger Out Of It’s Cage!
Let the beast free folks! That’s the lesson I wanted to share with all of you today on this episode of Inspire the Fire Friday. This past week has been one helluva ride for me emotionally and spiritually. So what caused all of this perfect storm of personal development for me? Well it began with Eddie and I sitting down and recording our interview with Danny Page. And during that interview, I was broken down to my very core. If you have not listened to his episode yet, you can go to mindsetmtn.com/dannypage. I was busted up and broken down because I was allowed to heal myself in a whole…

Struck Down By Our Own Caution
Struck Down By Our Own Caution “So many of us think ourselves into smallness, into inferiority, by thinking downward. We are held back by too much caution. We are timid about venturing. We are not bold enough. And so we die before we reach middle age, although we will not be lowered into the ground until we pass three score and ten.”~~ Og Mandino: “The Choice” Living by caution allows us to be safe…..or does it really? Sometimes you just have to ‘jump’!! Safety is not living in fear Security is not hiding in darkness as our cautions keep us from spreading our wings A cautious lifestyle does not…

Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page
Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page No Outlets.,…False Successes….God’s Letdown….Lazy….Compulsive….Lies….Self-Centered….Rage….And the list goes on and on, right?! You see, there are times in our lives where the above words hit us where it hurts. They hit us when we choose to tell ourselves the lies that “we are perfect and in control”, as we hide from our truths. It is then we find ourselves living a ‘life of existence’. We hide and turn from the mirrors, eventually becoming that child that hides in the dark closet with our security blanket, waiting to be saved from an unknown light! When we choose to release the ‘power’ we falsely…

Listen Openly, Respond Truthfully
Speak your truth. That seems like such a simple and straight forward statement. Easy to do right? Well…not usually lol. I wanted to share with you on this episode of Tactical Tuesday the success strategies of listening openly and responding truthfully. For it is in these raw and real actions that freedom is achieved. You will hear me describe how I was put in a position just yesterday to apply this tactic for myself in a very intense way. Eddie Aguilar and myself were interviewing our new amazing friend Danny Page. Towards the end of the interview, something happened. I had certainly been listening openly, but all of a sudden…

Are You A Sifu of Struggle?
Struggle! Ah yes…don’t we all easily relate to that part of life’s journey. But my question for you today on this Inspire the Fire Friday is are you a Sifu of Struggle? Meaning are you a master of struggle? Is being “in the struggle” your only way to define your success or progress? It had been for me for most of my life. I came across this ecard and it fits perfectly when it comes to my story of always finding it very easy to be a master of the struggle. Heaven forbid if things were easy! Nope. Can’t have that at all. Cuz then success wasn’t earned, it wasn’t…

Sides of the Same Coin
Sides of the Same Coin “You can’t have all the athletic talent and abilities, without the acne”~~Garrett J. White There are aspects of us which we try to hide from others…..yet we feel some animosity towards those who openly share and reveal both sides of the the same coin We judge those who share the good and ‘maybe not so good’ openly Personally, I’d rather know both sides of the coin, than see that there is something being hidden, which slithers as a snake in the grass disguising itself as something harmless The beauty of social media is we can all portray ourselves as something special…..Father of the year;…

You see… many of us keep grinding, pushing and wearing ourselves down to the bone with our…
