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? 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…

Now It Makes Sense
Now It Makes Sense “That’s what heaven is. You get to make sense of your yesterdays” Mitch Albom As I came across that quote, I really felt it hit the mark when it comes to my recent journey of re-construction. Making sense of my yesterdays has allowed me the peace and freedom and power of choice in now living a life with fresh perspective. In this brand new solo shot episode of our Mindset Mountain Podcast, I share with you my recent path of staring down my inner darkness. Going head to head with pieces of my past that have baffled and crippled me for years. I can honestly say…

Distancing Self To See Clearly
Distancing Self To See Clearly Before I began to write this, I took a clear look at the reason why our recent break was needed. I looked at our stats for our podcast and the episodes which have done great….and the ones which didn’t have the numbers on the downloads. You see, each individual who came onto our show to share “their story” with us and our audience shared a part of them which many had feared to share. Our numbers weren’t where they should be, and this caused tension and animosity towards many individuals, both known and unknown. But the truth is, we as a podcast failed to do…

Mind Over Matter: Jennie Kolibas
Mind Over Matter: Jennie Kolibas How often do we hear from the “other side” of an entrepreneur’s journey? For those who reach success, there needs to be a balance and a powerful glue that holds the household and family together….. There needs to be communication…. There needs to be a lil “give n take” on both ends when a family is ‘all in’ together! Someone who allows their children to be individuals….. Someone who finds time to themselves….. Someone who supports their other half in the dreams that the family holds. Jennie Kolibas is that someone we wanted to reach out to, as we’ve both…
