When I say I ❤️ Tim Grover's new book W1NNING, I mean LOVE because it smashes everything that you've imagined winning to be. Winning can be both your friend in the moment and a cold-hearted enemy for months/years thereafter. ...

It took me nearly 4 years and 600+ episodes to finally discover who I am as it relates to The Sales Life Podcast. Don't get me wrong, I had an idea, but it wasn't crystal clear...until now. "Who are you?" & "Who are you NOT?"...

Bishop TD Jakes released a new book titled, "Don't drop the mic." The people who brought about change were the ones who-despite the pressures, didn't drop the mic. What is your mic? Is it a wrench; classroom, blog, listing, s...

I've never thought of myself as an over-thinker until I read Jon Acuff's book Soundtracks. When I go for a long run, I like to put on a classic rock playlist. These are songs that I grew up with like Van Halen, Guns and Roses...

"I'm not quite ready," says everyone. "Ready" is bullshit. It's a form of self-sabotage and procrastination. While you're waiting to be "ready" others are lapping you. While you're waiting to be "ready" what you're really doi...

"It is what it is." I hate that phrase, because the statement makes it seem like that you're giving up...unless you're Michael J. Fox. The 80's phenom actor has been battling with Parkinson's for over 30 years. How does Fox d...

As a young man at football camp, a kicking coach gave Josh Altman some sage advice. No matter what’s on the line or the pressure you may feel, “always kick the ball the same.” Not only did Altman carry that forward as an athl...

When did it happen? Do you remember what day it was....or what it even was? There was a time you were a boss, beast, and certified bad-ass...but today your life is just bad. It all seems wrong, doesn't it? "All" being the ope...

I ❤️ today’s episode, (and all the others too 😂) but this one is important because we’ve all come up with a brilliant idea, yet we flush it once we hear someone thought of it first. Join the list. Alexander Bell, the Wright ...
