Ep. 166: What a Weird Position!
April 09, 2019 10:05 - 7 minutes - 7.07 MBWe can all find ourselves in weird positions from time to time, and it is usually a result of telling ourselves a story over and over and over until it just becomes our truth. The thing about this is that we can eventually start lying to ourselves over and over because this situation may no longer serve us in a way that is useful to us any longer. So how to do you figure out if you are in a weird position? Take a step back and simply ask yourself, "Is this situation or story I am telling myse...
Ep. 165: Embrace the Suck!
April 08, 2019 10:39 - 9 minutes - 9.16 MBSituations in life will be less than ideal. Conditions will never be perfect. It is our attitude towards those things that determines our perspective. Once you learn to "embrace the suck" and just become happy with the fact that you are in a bad situation, the entire perspective on the situation can change instantly. All of a sudden, you are no longer a victim. Weird how that works... Where in your life are you not embracing the suck? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti...
Ep. 164: The Invisible Work Ethic
April 05, 2019 09:52 - 9 minutes - 8.56 MBAlthough you may think that no one is noticing the hard work you are putting in or the sacrifices you are making, I bet you’re wrong. There is always someone that notices when we make changes, whether good or bad. --- 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. 163: The 40% Rule
April 03, 2019 12:51 - 7 minutes - 7.08 MBWhen you are tired, exhausted and tapped out, you are only giving about 40% of your maximum effort. There is always something left in the tank. You just have to be able to find it and tap into it. Where in your life are you running into a place where you know you have more left in the tank? --- 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. 162: A Galvanizing Loss
April 02, 2019 10:37 - 9 minutes - 8.48 MBThere are two choices you have when confronted with a loss or a setback: pack it in and go home or double-down and go harder. Where in your life (either now or previously) have you been subjected to a loss or a setback, and how did you (or can you) move forward instead of calling it quits? --- 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. 161: What I've Learned So Far
April 01, 2019 13:02 - 6 minutes - 6.46 MBTwo things I've learned since starting the Run Your Day podcast: 1. Fear isn't real and is just a creation of your mind. Start something, even if you aren't ready for it. 2. Consistency is king. Just doing something, even if it isn't good, is better than doing nothing at all. Where in your life do you need to just do something, even if you aren't ready for it? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: https://pod...
Ep. 160: The Battle Within
March 29, 2019 11:19 - 11 minutes - 10.2 MBWe all fight a daily and constant battle with ourselves inside of our own minds. Do you constantly feee your hopes and dreams or do you constantly feed you fears and doubts? One week challenge: be conscious of your thoughts and see if you are feeding your positive side or negative side more. --- 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. 159: Letting Go to Grow
March 28, 2019 11:01 - 9 minutes - 9.06 MBIt is so easy to hang onto old beliefs, thought patterns and things that no longer serve us. It can be terrifying to let go of security and head into the unknown, but doing so is required in order to ever experience growth. Where in your life are you choosing to hang onto something, refusing to let go and denying yourself growth? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techby...
Ep. 158: It Is What It Is
March 27, 2019 11:44 - 8 minutes - 7.56 MB"It's never as good as you think and it's never as bad as you think." If you think something in your life is awesome, chances are there are areas in which you can improve. If something isn't great in your life, it usually isn't as bad as you think it is. Where in your life is something either not as good as you think or not as bad as you think, and what can you start doing to change that perspective? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/m...
Ep. 157: I Hit a Wall
March 26, 2019 10:51 - 8 minutes - 7.83 MBWhat is your normal process when you hit an obstacle in life? Do you see it as "negative" or "positive" stress? Do you cut and run or do you choose to stand and fight? Resilience is the ability to keep coming back from failure, setbacks or losses. It is the internal ability to keep going, keep pushing and maintain belief that something is possible, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Where in your life are either being resilient or not being resilient? What is something you can do today...
Ep. 156: What Do You Prefer?
March 25, 2019 10:56 - 9 minutes - 9.21 MBWe all have preferences, hobbies and interests that change over time, and that is ok! The key is recognizing that you don’t have to feel bad about not keeping the same interests over your entire life. Humans change and so do you! --- 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. 155: Getting Blown Off Course
March 21, 2019 10:40 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBAt some point, you’ll realize how off-course you are from where you originally planned to go. That’s ok! Figure out where you are, figure out where you want to go and take the first step towards correction.

Ep. 153: Stop Being a Poser!
March 19, 2019 10:50 - 10 minutes - 9.9 MBPersonal integrity: either you have it or you don't. It can be very difficult to live your life in strict accordance with your core beliefs, values and principles, but it is also very rewarding once you are able to pull that life off. We tend to say one thing and do another, which kicks us out of integrity with ourselves.

Ep. 152: Living Your Purpose
March 18, 2019 10:27 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBFinding your purpose in life is a difficult process and if you haven't found it yet, don't fret. Here are three things you can start doing today to find it: 1. Identify your strengths: Make a list of things you are even reasonably good at (even weirdly good at) and think about how those help you align with yourself. 2. Identify your passion: Nelson Mandela said, "There is no passion in living small; in choosing a life that is less than what you are capable of." We are all leaving time, money,...
Ep. 151: Plant Your Feet in the Ground
March 15, 2019 12:00 - 10 minutes - 9.34 MBBeing self-assertive means allowing the authenticity of who you are to shine through and project out onto the world. It isn't acting one way around a certain set of people and then acting a completely different way around someone else. The more authentic you are at all times, the less stories and lies you have to remember. Dilemmas appear all the time in life that will test your assertiveness and who you truly are as a person. Unless you are very clear on who you are, what you believe and w...
Ep. 150: Get Responsible
March 14, 2019 11:55 - 9 minutes - 8.61 MBOnce you can get to the point where you have 100% responsibility for your life and your outcomes, you enter a place in which your self-esteem can rise and expand beyond where you thought it was possible to go. Self-responsibility is something that can be tricky, but falling into the trap of the "blame-game" is poison, not only to you, but to those around you as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/techbytespodcast/message Support this podcast: https:/...
Ep. 149: Just Accept It Dude
March 13, 2019 09:15 - 8 minutes - 8.2 MBPart 2/6: A thing only becomes a thing once you make it a thing. Imagine if you walked around all day long with a zit on your forehead, but had no idea. All of a sudden you realize it, then it becomes so embarrassing because you are conscious and aware of it. The same is true with the rest of you: accepting you is about accepting the flaws and all. You should always be striving for more, but you need to be ok with yourself in this moment before you are able to grow elsewhere. --- Send in...
Ep. 148: Living By Design, Not Default
March 12, 2019 10:02 - 9 minutes - 8.87 MBPart 1 of 6: Living consciously requires a keene attention to how we spend our time and focus our thoughts. Just as the "Run Your Day" show constantly preaches, we must learn how to control our days and lives, not allow them to control us. Don't default into the day.

Ep. 140: Productivity vs. Procrastination
February 27, 2019 11:21 - 10 minutes - 9.54 MBAlthough we all can become serial procrastinators from time to time, procrastination can lead to ill-conceived ideas and a whole bunch of other undesirable outcomes. The first step to overcoming procrastination is to identify "the frog" or excuses that are holding you back from taking action and just eliminate that thing right now. Action crushes doubt and uncertainty. The second step is to be less busy. Although we all have many different things going on in our lives at once, it is easy to ...

February 15, 2019 11:25 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBNew Twitter page! We all tell ourselves sneaky little lies that ultimately force us down a path of not getting us what we want.

Ep. 131: Make a Deposit
February 14, 2019 11:52 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBRelationships are similar to a bank account balance in that the balance is either positive or negative. Many of us face this problem of making constant withdrawals - negative words, time away, not helping out, ignoring the other, etc. Imagine what could be possible for your relationship if you made daily deposits into it every single day, just as you would a bank account? Over time, if you learn to build up the account through small, consistent deposits, you will realize a monumental shift i...
Ep. 130: You Are Qualified
February 13, 2019 11:24 - 9 minutes - 8.67 MBThere will always be others more qualified or knowledgable than us, but there will always be people that are less qualified than us.

Ep. 128: It's Easy to Quit
February 11, 2019 11:39 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MBChasing a target in your life is similar to going down the highway: there are exits every few miles that give you the opportunity to divert or to "quit." Being able to stay focused on what you are doing, staying the course and perserving through these opportunities to quit is taking the path less traveled. The majority of people take the easy-way out when it is presented to them. They take the path more traveled. The minority of people will take the path less traveled - the difficult path. A...

Ep. 122: Collision Creates Space
February 04, 2019 11:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBIt's not a debate: it's collision. Colliding with another person or yourself creates the space for creation to be possible. Things aren't always black and white. Internalizing feelings and things that hold us down ultimately holds us back. It is only through the process of getting those things out into the open and colliding with someone else to hear their opinion that we grow. Find someone today (or challenge yourself) and collide with them about something. Don't argue or get into a fight...

February 01, 2019 11:46 - 10 minutes - 9.35 MBEventually, you must learn to leverage your anger within yourself for not achieving the results you desire. It is impossible for anyone to externally motivate you for a long period of time. You and only you can create the leverage inside of yourself needed to experience the true results you are capable of.
