World Domination with DC Gomez
August 11, 2021 21:34 - 1 hour - 91.8 MBAt the Extraordinary podcast, we have been blessed to have some amazing guests. We have had a few authors with new books and amazing stories to tell. But DC Gomez is a different breed. Yes, she is an accomplished author, writing everything from novels to children’s books, to devotionals, but it’s her infectious energy that makes her stand out. After our conversation, Hurricane Gomez seemed like a more fitting title. Now she hosts a podcast and Facebook live feed every week where you can...

Overcoming resistance is what turns the amateur into the professional. Resistance takes many forms and fashions its way into our weaknesses. It knows exactly how to stop you.

Wise Words From Andrew Weiss
July 05, 2021 22:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MBConferences and trade show events were the mainstays for virtually every major industry from cars and computers to comics and cosplay. These expos brought together like-minded enthusiasts and curious fans to one place to connect, network, and share the latest and greatest. I have repeatedly talked about Podfest and the impact that podcasting conference has had on this show as a perfect example. But right as that event was concluding, Covid came along and changed everything. It literal...
Inspiring My Audience with Justin Schenck
June 22, 2021 01:33 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MBHow do you create a movement? How do you change the world? For starters, you have to inspire your audience. If you can inspire people, you can motivate them in a new direction. A better path. While inspiration is not sustainable, it can be the spark to initiate growth. It can be the moment that changes someone’s life. But what inspires people? That answer is different for different types of people. So, the only way to find out what inspires them is the try, try, and try again. Keep tr...

Cultured Conversation with Jamison Smallwood
June 08, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBWhat’s done in the dark will be brought to the light. How we spend those twilight hours, determines our destiny. All the practice we put in when no one is watching. All those early mornings when everyone else is sleeping. All those late-night hours staring at a screen. Those efforts pay off in the long run.

Making a Difference with Jen Gardiner
May 24, 2021 19:30 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB“A Jack of all trades…” When we think of those who make a difference in the world, we think of people like Doctors who are out there saving lives. Working on the front lines. But in reality, all of us have the opportunity to make an impact, with everything we do. Even just doing little things well, each of us can make a difference to someone. You don’t have to literally save a life to save someone’s life or make a difference in their day. Just putting yourself out there can inspire or ...
The Captains Life with Taylor Morgan
May 19, 2021 03:40 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBCrafting an extraordinary life is a process. Lifestyle design is an accumulation of small patterns of behavior that over time set the stage for great things to happen. Putting all the right things in place and keeping track of them has a long-reaching effect that magnifies the positive results it creates. Kind of like a flywheel, the momentum continues to pull you along the path providing solutions and opportunities as you keep moving forward. Once again it's those little things that mat...

Showing Up with Shayda Torabi
May 05, 2021 03:55 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBThere’s a famous quote that says “90% of Life is just showing Up”. And its true. Just showing up consistently every day will differentiate you from most of the competition. But what happens when you can’t show up? What about when you get hurt? How do you show up when dealing with chronic issues of pain and suffering? The typical solutions have been opioids and steroids. Vicodin to Cortisone. These solutions are both temporary and fleeting. There are some new solutions coming from ...
An Eye for Adventure with Aaron Joiner
April 26, 2021 16:19 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBAn Eye for Adventure with Aaron Joiner As a skater early on we develop an eye for finding street spots that would be ideal for showing off our latest tricks and grinds. In the early days, there were no parks or ready-made ramps available. You had to find your spots. Over time that eye for finding the best spots becomes automatic. To this day I still mentally note ideal locations that I probably can’t even ride anymore. But that eye for adventure will always be with me. Aaron Joiner...
Mentally Healthy with Jacob Thornton
April 19, 2021 19:27 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBThe journey of creating and launching a podcast is exciting and terrifying at the same time. Everyone has their own reason, mission or topic they want to share with the world. And we all go into it thinking we are going to enlighten and educate our audience. We are going to share our expertise with anyone who will listen. But through the journey we discover more about ourselves. We learn more about who we are and how little we really know. When we think we have the answers, we need to...
Fighting Cancer with Fitz Koehler
April 12, 2021 03:49 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBFighting Cancer is one of the toughest challenges any of us can experience. So many don’t survive that battle. But the more we learn about how to combat the disease we are also learning how our attitude and outlook can also impact that situation. So, when cancer decided to show up in Fitz Koehler, little did it know who it was messing with. Fitz Koehler is a force to be reckoned with. From her early days of kickboxing to coaching up kids and corporations alike, Fitz teaches us all How ...
Casting Ahead with Chris Stone
April 05, 2021 23:13 - 1 hour - 76.9 MBPredicting the Future of an industry is incredibly hard. Forecasting change automatically creates skeptics and doubters. Broadcasting that message is terrifying, no matter how certain you may be. But none the less we must cast ahead, trust our instinct, and drive our business toward the future. Sometimes we will get it right and reap the rewards. Other times we will be too early, too late or just miss the mark altogether. But more often than not, when we put in the time, have a genuine ...
"Eve of Greatness" with Grace Sammon
March 29, 2021 23:54 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBAs always on the Extraordinary podcast, we continue to fail our way forward. I always try to be transparent and give you guys a peek behind the scenes. Whether it's posting the uncut videos on YouTube or the preludes to our actual interview, my goal is for you to feel like you are part of the conversation. While I take pride in the quality of the production of the show, it doesn’t always turn out that way. Such was the case for this episode. While the content was compelling and intere...

Winning with Win Charles
March 22, 2021 19:05 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBAs you know on the EXTRAordinary Podcast, we seek out ordinary people living extraordinary lives. But what about those that have a hard time just being ordinary? What about the people who already face major challenges just to keep up? Can they live an extraordinary life? I believe so. I believe that just like each and every ordinary person has a unique skill or ability, so do those with disabilities. Just because you are handy capped in some aspects of life, that doesn’t mean you still...
We Just Want To WIn with Jason Fomenky
March 14, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 71.1 MBThe digital age has brought us all closer together. The online world allows people all over the world access to information and opportunities like never before. I am constantly amazed how the digital age continues to level the playing field for the global population. I take for granted, living in the United States, everything I have access to but for those in 3rd world countries, access to both the information and the opportunities just wasn’t possible.

Influencing with Jeremy Segal
March 07, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBEveryone thinks they want to be a social media influencer. And why not? Your online persona has further reach than ever before. Much more than your real life ever could, right? So it's no wonder so many people want to have a strong presence in this digital world. But why? Is it purely narcissistic? Or is there a bigger purpose? When developing a following, what content are you creating? Is it gratuitous or genuine? Is it sexy or somewhat serious? Is there a method to the madness? ...

Embrace Pain and Avoid Suffering with Brian Bogert
February 21, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBLife is painful. We all will endure a certain amount of suffering. While this may sound tragic and depressing. It is vital to assign purpose to that suffering. And as we come to know pain, we learn that it is fleeting. It cannot exist indefinitely. This too shall pass. Having something bigger than ourselves as a reason for hurting allows us the ability to endure so much more. Life is hard. But the beauty of life is that you can choose your hard. More importantly, you can choose wha...
Making Moves with Micah Muzio
February 16, 2021 02:20 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBThe path to success is elusive for so many. Understanding what we want to do, finding our purpose, and being happy seems to be this never-ending journey. And most of us are no closer to figuring it out than when we started. The older I get the more I realize how many adults are still trying to figure this out. The old adage of “Do what makes you happy” simply doesn’t hold up. Happiness is forever fleeting. So, then what do we do? How do we find happiness? If we cannot find happiness,...

Manifesting Miracles with Michaela Foster Marsh
January 17, 2021 17:00It is often said that art imitates life and life in turn imitates art. It is readily apparent in the movies and books we read and the lifestyle we are fed through entertainment eventually becomes our reality in many cases. We see it pop culture all the time and Ironically now with a generation of kids raised on “reality TV” we see our actual reality manipulated in the same way these shows are.

Key 2 Wellness with Kelly Warr
January 11, 2021 04:42 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBModern medicine provides treatment and cures for many illnesses. There is literally a pill for everything. We even have drugs to treat the side effects of other medications. But traditional medicine has become more of an assembly line of generic solutions and prescriptions that leaves patience confused, often frustrated, and in many cases not much better. Hence the rise of alternative medicine and the holistic healing approach. These methods give us the warm fuzzies, but the lack of re...
Going Places with Amanda Goins
December 15, 2020 04:24 - 1 hour - 122 MBThe path of personal development is one we each choose for ourselves. No one can push us down that path and most of us choose to avoid it altogether. So, what is it that changes inside of us that pushes us to begin this journey? Why do so many others refuse to accept the challenge even when they know the success it will bring? Going through my own path of personal enlightenment, I often wonder why some do and some don’t why some fail and others persevere. And why a select few live a life...
Digital Dad with Brent Basham
November 29, 2020 17:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBLiving in the digital age can be challenging for all of us. Trying to keep up with the ever-evolving pace of technology can be daunting for those of us who grew up as the first-generation digital pioneers. But in the process of trying to keep up, we have neglected to consider what it is like to grow up in this online environment. Our kids, these digital natives, have never known anything else. Have you thought about what it would be like trying to navigate this world and technology witho...
Starting Ugly with Chris Krimitsos
November 16, 2020 20:59 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBThe hardest part of any new endeavor is taking that first leap of faith. You gotta start ugly. So often we spend so much time, gathering information, and procrastinating for fear of how we will be judged. But we cannot complete the journey, reach the summit, or achieve our dreams until we get going. Starting ugly is the first step. Listen, no one looks good doing something the first time. Whether learning to ride a bike or start a business, it will take time to become good and even mor...
Living In the Present with Melinda Livingston
November 09, 2020 21:15 - 55 minutes - 53.5 MBIn today's world, it is harder than ever to be present. With a perpetual distraction in our pocket, we glide through life paying less and less attention to what is going on around us. We look for this distraction at the first hint of boredom. Whether social media or silly games, these devices steal every free moment of our daily life. And too often what is supposed to be product times are sacrifices to these mind-numbing activities. By getting caught up in this virtual vortex, we miss ou...

A.C.T. with Dan Williams
October 18, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBIt’s ironic how the busyness of life and our day to day activities often prohibit real physical movement. Actually doing things. We stay so busy on our computers for work and our phones everywhere else, we often neglect to make time to Act. Do. Move. Or maybe just Get outside. Is this a part of your daily habits? How often are you actively moving? When is the last time you went for a walk? Action Changes Things. Action changes the way we think, the way we feel, and if nothing els...

Funding Innovation with Adrian Deen
October 04, 2020 16:00 - 26 minutes - 25 MBFunding Innovation with Adrian Dean Using AI to help fund startup businesses may seem a little counter-intuitive at first. I mean it takes a lot more than just processing data to find the next Amazon, uber, or Netflix. A lot of good ideas never reach their potential due to not hitting all the right financial viability checkmarks. So how does removing gut instinct benefit a startup business that is desperate for funding? AiPRIL. AiPRIL is an ai software that helps startup companies p...
Coaching Culture with Johnny Murphy
September 27, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBWhen it comes to coaching a football team, before you can teach x’s and o’s, you must lay a foundation. A foundation of principles and expectations. Once the team understands and accepts these values then they learn how each of them plays a crucial role in the process. That is how coaches create culture. The values you place within that culture are up to you. Johnny Murphy has been coaching culture since playing football in college. He teaches these fundamentals, not only his players...

Yet often we feel unequipped to process tragedy and understand the grieving process. All too often we bottle up our emotions, try to appear as if everything is fine, and never allow ourselves to accept the pain and suffering that comes from loss. But unfortunately, it is necessary. It is critical to our overall well being and mental health that we give ourselves permission to hu...
