March 11, 2024 00:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MB

EP119 - This will be the last episode of Inspired By Impact ever! Why? There are three reasons that I will summarize with three quotes, all of which I will dive into detail about in today's episode.

Top 5 Depression DOs and DON'Ts - Are You Making Depressed People Feel Even Worse?

February 02, 2024 17:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MB

EP118 - If you suffer from depression, what do you wish people would stop doing that you don't have the heart to tell them but wish somebody would? For those of us who have a very intimate and long-term relationship with depression, it can be hard to communicate with others about what's going on for you, what you need, and what pisses you off. I've been in an almost constant state of depression for about the past month now, and while I know my loved ones only want to help, there are certai...

January 08, 2024 19:00 - 14 minutes - 9.8 MB

"Remember...it's not the mountains ahead of you to climb that wear you out. It's the pebble in your shoe." What is the ONE PERSISTENT PROBLEM you've been facing for months or perhaps years that you can't get past no matter how much you try? For me, it's breaking through on a BUSINESS level - being afraid to take my products, services, and myself to market. What is it for you?ย  Specifically, which area of the PREP Work - Purpose, Relationships, Emotional, or Physical - have you been strug...

23 Regrets From 2023 and 23 Steps I Am Taking In 2024

January 02, 2024 10:00 - 52 minutes - 35.8 MB

EP117 - The number one regret of the dying is, "I wish I had lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." I can't even quantify how much time I waste worrying about what others think of me, what other people think I should do, or basing what I should do on what other people are doing, all of which are the perfect road map to regretting the life I live. All I can do is reflect on some of my regrets and develop small, specific, and simple steps to leverage the lessons wi...

How are we going to make sure that 2024 is one of the best years of our lives? I obviously can't answer that for you but for me, I know it's going to boil down to one thing above all - fulfillment of purpose. But fulfilling your purpose means you first need to get clear on what your purpose is. In other words, what is the VISION you have for yourself and the effect you want to have on the lives of the people you love the most and/or the world as a whole? That's what I'm going to dive into...

EP116 - As a man, when do you stop growing? Is there ever a point where your marriage or relationship, your skills as a father, and your job as a provider are 'done' or 'good enough'? If you're truly into self-development, is this an infinite game or does there come a point where you can say, 'You know what? I'm good!'?
