E149 Trigger Warning
September 17, 2018 08:30 - 21 minutes - 29.7 MBEvery once in a while the process breaks. The process broke this week. While trying to record two interviews for the podcast, we had a massive failure.

Today I take a deep dive into the importance of extreme ownership in the face of a mistake. Questions, comments, requests? Feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from ...

September 16, 2018 08:30 - 14 minutes - 19.7 MBIf you're looking for a quick 3-minute action guide start your day off on the right foot, Trevor's book is great. It's full of actionable items and wisdom for anyone looking to improve their mindset and get shit done! But a word of warning, it takes more than just three minutes a day to be successful, to become great, to achieve your goals. Knowledge isn't really power, and what he teaches in his book doesn't work unless you apply it to every area of your life. Questions, comments, request...

E143 Announce Your Greatness
September 11, 2018 08:30 - 20 minutes - 27.7 MBSociety has told us not to say, or even feel certain ways. But why? To be polite? To prevent conflict? The things that are taboo are both positive and negative. Addressing self-esteem issues from the past are frowned upon just as bragging is. But what happens if you ignore society and verbally confront your demons or cheer and praise your achievements? It's possible that it could propel you to new heights. Give it a try. Feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear f...

E141 You Can't Pick Your Family
September 09, 2018 08:30 - 23 minutes - 32.2 MBIt’s no secret to anyone that’s been listening to the podcast. My family history growing up was a bit dicey.

The interesting thing is how our perception of our family can change as we get older. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you.

E139 Free Willy
September 07, 2018 08:30 - 26 minutes - 36.1 MBColin Kaepernick, the Mob, politics, racism…this episode is a bit polarizing. Ultimately, the question is why do you act the way you do? Is it your choice or could it be because of the things society has taught you? For most of the population it’s the latter. Most live their lives under a system of beliefs impressed upon them by others and never live with free will. Listen as I dive into a couple controversial topics. This might just turn some people off. Questions, comments, req...

E136 Is That Really You?
September 04, 2018 08:30 - 23 minutes - 31.9 MBThe highlight real. The majority of us have one. For most, it’s called social media. Whether it’s photos that are doctored and filtered or selfies that took 45 min to take, when it comes down to it it’s all about misrepresenting who we are. Here lies a problem.
