Episode 344- Appreciation through hardship and loss.

Pain, hardship and loss are very difficult things and we all encounter them in one way or another throughout our lives. And while these things are generally unwelcome, I have found that often times, with a lot of work and the right outlook, I can sometimes find an upside.

Episode 343- Doing the hard things.

It’s a wild irony. So many of the things that will make its happier, feel better, healthier, stronger, etc., are things that are hard and that we don’t really want to do. Let’s talk about it.

Episode 342- The two ways people can completely change their lives.

Over the years I’ve witnessed some absolutely incredible transformations, instances where people have completely changed their lives in a matter of a year or two. It has been incredible to watch and to experience. Upon speaking with and observing these folks, I’ve come to learn that there are basically two ways in which this happens and usually some combination of the two. Let’s discuss today!

With 58 year-old Mike Tyson stepping back in the ring to take on an athlete less than half his age, there has been a lot of talk about how much his age would affect his athletic ability and performance.

Episode 340- My breakup with booze.

Giving up alcohol is arguably one of the most powerful and life changing things I’ve ever done. Today I want to share my story in the hopes that it may help someone who wants to do the same.

Episode 336- Giving up.

“That’s it. I can’t do this. I’ve tried and I just can’t. I’m done.” Sound familiar? Of course it does. We’ve all done it. Let’s talk about why we do it and why we need to stop doing it.

Episode 339- Behind the mask of the badass.

Bad asses. You know the people I’m talking about. Whether they are people we know in real life or just through social media, we look up to them. Sometimes they might even just be characters that aren’t real people, but we are inspired by them nonetheless. They seem unflappable. Full of confidence and courage, afraid of nothing and ready to rise up and take on every challenge. We wish we could be like them. Today I wanted to tell a story about a situation of my own, one where many people have called me a badass. They’ve told me how inspiring and how awesome something I have done was. Now while I am beyond humbled and flattered by these words, I wanted to share the truth behind them and the true emotions behind this event that might surprise some people. And the reason I want to share this is that in talking to many, many other badasses over the years, I have found any of the same feelings and emotions to be true for them as well. I hope you find this helpful and that it inspires you to take action despite your fears, because we all share those fears.
