Silent Voices
Silent Voices…. Have you ever wanted to speak the truth, (your truth), from the heart….but fear what will follow? Silence screams the truth….and the truth of ‘fear’ can be overpowering. Many of us have done it….are doing it….or have just gotten through it. I began reading for the fifth or sixth time, “He-Motions: Even Strong Men Struggle“~~T.D. Jakes. The beginning of this book describes how many men have not been taught not to….or how many of us don’t know how to let out our screams. Now the point of this is this….. Are you frustrated, hurt, or in pain of some sort, but due to the way you’ve been brought…

Coaches And Players
Coaches And Players A player’s outburst was something the coach chewed out the team for…..but behind the scenes, the coach was pleased by the outburst! You see, there are times where someone’s drive or self-awareness is set aside….. There is no competitive advantage…. There is no hunger for success….. The game of baseball was a way my dad taught me many lessons in life, which in turn has carried over for myself and my kids, through baseball and softball. A mentor and coach’s importance is to push their student or player….. Their importance is to challenge them and to teach ownership, as well as unity among a team And in this…

Inspire the Fire: Rediscover Yourself
Rediscover and Remember: Did You Lose Yourself?! This process of rediscovery was lit up within me after a great time hanging out with a wonderful friend, Coach Kristi Kay. We met up for dinner last night and part of the conversation turned to different energy styles and our unique identities. Next thing you know, I’m getting fired up as I realize I’d forgotten a huge part of my identity. Parts that were as necessary to my life as the air I breathe. But somehow, I had lost myself. At least this very important and vital part of me. So listen in as I share some personal stories about my intensity…

Nurturing Dreams
Nurturing Dreams is more than saying…..’You can do anything in the world that you want to do’! To nurture someone’s dream is to support them in all aspects….. In nurturing dreams, you feed the vision with action, positive affirmations, and the least liked aspect…..constructive criticism. You aid in pointing out and protecting individuals from toxic people…..even if that includes family I’ve become witness to the thrashing of one’s vision or dream I’ve become witness to the fact that one teaches a lesson in a way that belittles the other’s being To say you support someone, yet everything you do opposes the statement…..you can end up with a shattered soul if…

Stepping Out….Where’s Your Comfort Zone
(Picture taken from article: Telegraph) I’m Stepping Out…..Out of my comfort zone, that is! I’m going to step out of my comfort zone, right?! Well, after this past weekend, I realized what exactly “Stepping Out” was! You see, we know we need to get comfortable being uncomfortable, right? But how uncomfortable do we really get? Are we completely letting go and trusting ourselves or the safety features to be enough to protect us? What about criticism? Judgement? Looking a fool? The answer is, sometimes we need to be completely vulnerable and let go of any safety rails to allow ourselves to fly. (Picture taken from article: Telegraph) What if I…

Stopping Time
I recently heard on a podcast episode on the “I Love Marketing Podcast” with Victoria Labalme about her sharing her thoughts on finding your purpose….or finding your passion! In this episode, she spoke about ‘stopping time’ in whatever you do, has a great deal with finding your passion or purpose. The key though, is not that you are stopping time yourself…..it is what you are doing, that time stops. Some of us have found this in falling in love…. Playing music…. Hiking…. Teaching something to someone, whether it be educational or through life experiences. No matter, when time stops for you and you are in the moment, you are in…

What good is life without: – Struggle – Pain – Anger – A good fight ..blood sweat and tears create the men and women who change the world.” Joshua Santos I tell you what folks…Joshua Santos pulls no punches in life.

And that’s why Eddie Aguilar and I reached out to Joshua…

Episode 100! PLAYING BIGGER!
Episode 100!!! Hell yeah!!! As I look at that image above of Eddie and I at the top of Mount Elden in Flagstaff, AZ it makes me smile with tons of gratitude. That pic was taken as we hit the top. We had just completed half a day on the mountain creating our personal development training, “Climbing the Mindset Mountain.” (We looked quite a bit more tired when we took a pic at the bottom lol.) Then sometime after creating that product, we started the journey of podcasting. Man…has that journey been one helluva climb as well! Tons of lessons learned, stumbles and scrapes and amazing wins. So as we…

Theory
Theory — A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained. (Dictionary Definition) On this episode, you are going to learn the common basis of our theories for our lives….. Reminder…..this isn’t a representation of everybody, but is a good representation of a majority of individuals who don’t reach the dreams that keep them up at night The thoughts and ideas of theories are what keeps many from taking action….. Theory represents ‘system of ideas intended to explain something’……for many of us, myself included, theory has been the exact reason that we (and I) have…
