Ep. 217: Never Start In Neutral
October 17, 2019 12:27 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MBYou're either going forwards or you're going backwards. There is no neutral gear in life. When you wake up in the morning, you either hit the ground running or you start falling behind. One of the big problems with this world today is that we all look on our cell phones first thing when we wake up, or we turn on the news or go straight to social media and without even realizing it, we place ourselves in a negative mindset off the bat. Does this sound condusive to an environment in which you...
Ep. 216: Golf In The Woods?
October 16, 2019 10:00 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MBDifferent things lead to different things. There is a current world view that holds your mind captive to the way a certain thing works or what “it should be.” In the end, everything that exists today does because someone, somewhere had the bold idea to make it happen despite what anyone thought. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/support
Ep. 215: How To Be Ok With You
October 15, 2019 11:59 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MBExpectations are a dangerous thing. Learning to be ok with yourself and your current status in life - regardless of how ugly or dissatisfying it is - comes down to a choice you make to adopt that mentality. Where in your life do you just need to be happy with the results you have manifested, but also start pushing for more? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespod...
Ep. 214: Slimy, Yet Satisfying
October 11, 2019 12:23 - 10 minutes - 9.69 MBEver watch the Lion King? Of course you have - that's a stupid question. Remember when Simba eats the bugs under the log and Timone says "Slimy, yet satisfying?" That is how life is sometimes. Sometimes you have to put up with the slimy shit in order to get the satisfaction out of the work you are doing. The result doesn't always show up the way you imagined it, and the work to get there isn't always glamorous. But hey, if it were easy - everyone would do it, right? What "slimy" part of yo...
Ep. 213: Getting SUPER Clear
October 09, 2019 11:18 - 14 minutes - 13.1 MBUltimately, you can't go anywhere in life if you aren't willing to get radically clear about where you are. If you ignore the facts of what IS for you, the place you say you are going is a fantasy. It is pure bull shit. I lived in the land of fantasy for a lot of years looking back, but the process of getting super clear in my life across all of my domains gave me the opportunity to move forward based on a foundation of truth and power. Where in your life do you need to get super clear and...
Ep. 212: Such A Slacker!
October 07, 2019 10:00 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MBSometimes it's ok to take a day off or stop pushing towards something. This might seem counter-intuitive to what I talk about every day, but the reality is that no one can be "on" all the time. There is an ebb & flow to life that must be respected or you will burn yourself out before you even get started. It's not about hustling all the time, but it's not about relaxing all the time either. It is about finding that balance that works for you and is respectable to everyone else in your life...
Ep. 211: Don't Ever Fucking Quit
October 04, 2019 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.9 MBListen to this episode as many times as you need to. Listen when you are thinking about quitting, getting depressed or can't see a way out. Listen when the negative voices are too loud. Listen when you have no other people around you to give encouraging words.

Ep. 209: The Confusion of Life
October 02, 2019 10:00 - 15 minutes - 13.9 MBUltimately, there is a lot of confusion that happens in our lives. Confusion happens within every single area whether we want it to or not. The key to overcoming this confusion is to finally reach a level of clarity in your life. Many of us in the younger generation have been so confused by what we are supposed to get out of life. We were taught, trained and educated to go to college, get the job and eventually pay off debt, but that approach simply doesn't cut it anymore. Not only is more...

Ep. 205: Where is Your Leverage?
July 12, 2019 10:43 - 9 minutes - 8.9 MBThe entire basis behind the RunWage app is to place leverage in front of you in order to achieve something. It is amazing what we humans are capable of when given an "impossible" task to accomplish. Whether the leverage you find is time-based, money-based, guilt-based or something else, it all works in the same way: it holds you accountable to something that you weren't originally making a priority. Where in your life can you find leverage to place in front of yourself in order to get somet...
Ep. 204: Dealing with Disappointment
July 11, 2019 10:00 - 10 minutes - 9.56 MBI've never been one to take failure well, and I usually beat myself up more than I need to about it. One thing I learned from a recent situation - it's not always your fault. Although the majority of blame or fault might be on you for messing something up, there are often external factors that come into play and sometimes things just aren't meant to be. SHIT HAPPENS. Where in your life are you not dealing with disappointment well and what can you change about how you view it? --- Send ...
Ep. 203: Seeds & Echos
July 10, 2019 10:00 - 9 minutes - 8.95 MBThe reality you are living in right now is a result of the actions you took 6 months ago, 1 year ago, etc. Simultaneously, the results you want six months, 1 year, 5 years from now are a result of the seeds you are planting today. Similar to an echo, there isn't an immediate payoff in the form of success when actions are taken. You just have to keep going, keep your foot on the gas and never slow down. Question: Where in your life have you stopped "planting seeds" and how has that affected ...
Ep. 202: When You Just "Can't"
July 09, 2019 10:00 - 8 minutes - 8.27 MBEver hit that "wall" or obstacle time after time and just say "I just can't with this today?" Whether it's a situation, a person or something else, we all have these things come up in our daily lives. The best way around this is to simply as the question "why" over and over until you get to the bottom of this situation. Example: "I can't get out of bed and workout at 5:00 in the morning." Why? - "Because I like to sleep in." Why? - "I stay up late playing video games." Why? - "I don't ha...
Ep. 201: Have Some Damn Confidence
July 08, 2019 10:00 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBUsing the power of social leverage can be a powerful motivator for accomplishments and change. The second you declare something to someone else, it becomes more than just an idea in your head. It becomes a reality that you have to follow through on. Challenge: Boldly declare something in your life and either post it on social media, text or call a friend, or find another way to get an idea out of your head and into the mind of another. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spot...

Ep. 198: Where is the Real Gold Found?
June 17, 2019 10:47 - 8 minutes - 7.71 MBImagine the prospectors heading out to California for the gold rush of the 1800s. Working day-in and day-out, yet coming up with nothing. The real gold however, isn't found in the obtaining of money, new clients, new careers, whatever it may be for you....but rather it is found in the internal struggle and grind we all go through. The real gold can be found by putting yourself to the test, day after day after day. Where in your life do you need to dig deeper to find the real gold? --- Sen...

The more acutely intent you can be on your feelings, thoughts and actions, the more you will be able to course-correct and rest when things aren’t working.

June 04, 2019 09:58 - 9 minutes - 8.84 MB1. What do you want? You must be super clear on what you are actually trying to achieve. 2. Why do you want it? Most importantly, you must know WHY you are even bothering to do this in the first place. 3. How will you get it? You need a plan and you need to execute on that plan. 4. When will you get it? You need to give yourself a time-crunch in which to achieve this goal or you will perpetually kick the can down the road. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod...

Ep. 185: How Growth Really Happens
May 17, 2019 10:48 - 9 minutes - 8.81 MBThere are two schools of thought: growth can happen slowly over time or all at once in huge leaps and bounds. Through my experience, I’ve found that it is usually a mixture of both. The biggest changes in terms of volume are a result of incremental change, but some of the most impactful changes come from punctuated events. Where in your life are you going through incremental change and where are you going through punctuated change? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.co...

You missed the boat, an opportunity or something in your life fell through. I get it - it happens. The important thing to remember is that there will be another boat if you continue to keep your head down, do the work and keep up your belief that another boat will come along.

The problem many of us face is that we have no mitigation strategy in place to course-correct and power through the lull. Where in your life is this “lull” or “wall” and what kind of plans can you put in place to mitigate them and use it as an accelerant rather than an obstacle? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: htt...

Same age, same looks, same goals, same job, same clothes, etc. Can you imagine how bland and boring such a world would be? We are each given individual and special talents, gifts, personalities and traits. It is up to you to allow those to flow through you and become who you were truly meant to be.
