Braveheart, Buddha and Success
Braveheart, Buddha and success. Does it take both types of personalities and perspectives in order to become a success in a complete and balanced way? This is the question that came up in my mind just yesterday as I was listening to The Tim Ferriss Show podcast. Tim was interviewing Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm among other thought provoking tales. In fact, before I go on here is the link to that interview. It is well worth the listen this weekend. http://fourhourworkweek.com/2016/05/22/sebastian-junger/ “Who would you die for? What ideas would you die for?” – Sebastian Junger As one point of the podcast, Sebastian Junger speak on how throughout history we…

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…

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…

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…

Staycation Liberation
Staycation Liberation! Ahhh now this is the ticket folks to relaxation as well as bursting forward into new levels of success. It’s Tactical Tuesday…so let’s lock and load. The picture above, including my shoes lol, is from last summer during a weekend I spent in San Diego. Easily one of my all time favorite cities to me. It always brings me the powerful and potent combo of feeling incredibly calm in spirit and yet stoked for success! In today’s episode, I want to share how to use a staycation to get both done. You see… many of us keep grinding, pushing and wearing ourselves down to the bone with our…

Your Unknown Leadership
Leadership. What type is buried within you? That is the topic of today’s Inspire the Fire Friday episode. In this episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast, I share a story from my high school years. I was a young buck of only 16 or 17 years old (hard to remember exactly, memory fading these days lol). It was a situation where I was thrust into an unexpected leadership role in a crisis. Listen in as I share a story of coming upon a very difficult situation, a highway accident, and how I was able to become an instant leader in that crisis. I share this story to illustrate the point…

Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman!
Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman Is Driven! Our new guest today on The Mindset Mountain Podcast is definitely driven to achieving the highest levels of success in every single thing he takes on in his life. And on that journey, he’s taken on quite a lot! Here’s just a chunk about Charlie from his website. In 2007, “The Spaniard” left the comfort of his hometown and full-time job as a Spanish teacher to pursue a career in mixed martial arts. What started out as a dream soon turned into reality. “The Spaniard” has fought at every level of the industry, including an 11-fight UFC career. After upsetting #6 ranked Rick Story…

You Do You!
You Do You! Stop worrying and wondering what everyone else around you is doing. This YOUR JOURNEY, so do it the way you want to that works for your life. These three simple and yet powerful words make up one of my all time favorite perspectives given by Gary Vaynerchuk. He is always unapologetic with his opinions and yet always follows up with the qualifier..YOU DO YOU. It’s because he understands that I’m not exactly like him. And Eddie Aguilar isn’t like me. And Shawn Stevenson isn’t like any of us. We each have our own unique path to our own progress and what flat out works for us. So…
