I don’t know how to explain David Goggins. Reading his book, “Can’t Hurt Me,” hearing his story on other podcasts, & feeling his words come alive with emotion on YouTube, I can’t contextualize it, but I can feel it. ⭐️I guess the only words I can use for what makes him so driven..so alive is his question, “What if?” ⭐️An amazing man worth learning more about. ⭐️Thanks for catching the show.

As I was leaving the bank I thanked the teller and told her, “You rock!” Although that wasn’t my 1rst time saying it, it was the 1rst time I’d ever heard this response back. ⭐️We’re not good at “taking,” whether it be a gift, free tickets, or even a compliment.

Whoever said that in order to learn you have to read a book cover to cover is f.o.s. (Full Of ___) I like to drop in on books-many I have read before, but forgot most of what I learned. I dropped in on Angela Duckworth's book "Grit," and chose Chapter 3 because...well it sounded catchy, "Effort counts twice." In this chapter, Duckworth writes her formula for achievement, "Talent x Effort = Skill Skill x Effort = Achievement." *Most of us use none or only half of the equation. We say that others ...

"When you're a kid, everything has a question mark at the end of it. Only later do they turn into periods or even exclamation points. 'Will I get over this?' becomes, 'It's too late...." becomes 'I can't get over this!' My only hope for my future is I learn to dot the landscape of my life once more with question marks instead of periods. To turn judgments into queries. To turn 'this' into 'that?' To turn every problem into a maze." ~ Today we riff from James Altucher's book, "Choose Yourself," &...

While listening to Evan Carmichael on James Altucher's podcast, James made an offhand remark that stuck to my soul..."Direction is better than outcome," & it made me think back to a recent convo I had with a salesperson who was really struggling. 6 months ago he could do no wrong, but today it seemed he could do no right. "You haven't lost your touch, you've lost your focus...pick a direction and don't let up no matter how much your emotions scream at you to pull up," I told him. *On today's sho...

You wouldn't think of blundering as a trait to success, but it is. Blundering through Life won't get you far, but blundering through your career will take you to a whole new level. Sometimes you have to take the leap and find your wings along the way. The road is not always well-lit; the path is rarely straight; the necessary skills aren't readily available....sometimes you have to blunder through to find your way to success. * Thanks for catching today's show. If you like what you hear, I need ...

You hear the phrase often, "Nothing happens until something happens..." You hear it, but do you live it? When your days are in the dumps and month is in the shitter what do you do? Often we do nothing...we do nothing because it seems that every time we do try, we fail...so we wind up doing nothing...and wait for something. *Today we're pulling on the thread of that phrase & we're going to unravel your negative thoughts, kick you in the ass and push you back in the game because doing nothing won'...

Your mind is always desperately searching for "OK." Dishes, clothes, health, finances, career...the list is endless.

I couldn't leave Dr. Kelly McGonigal's book, The Upside of Stress...Why stress if good for you and how you can get good at it, without sharing a relatable story with you. A grad student was frantically working alone late one night on her research paper when a knock came at the door. It was the IT guy-seeing her sitting in a heap of stress he peaked his head inside and said, "Just another cold, dark night on the side of Everest..." *Nobody sets out to climb a mountain thinking it'll be easy and n...

If I asked you if you wanted a "Stress-free" Life you'd probably choke on your drink because you couldn't say, "Hell yeaaaa," fast enough. But not so fast says Kelly McGonigal in her book, "The Upside of Stress...Why stress if good for you and how to get good at it." Think about your many experiences in life...purpose, meaning, learning, joy, happiness, love, etc...When you think back to those times, were any of those experiences laced with stressful moments?* Today's episode puts a new lens on ...

The other morning I’d given myself 1 hour..30 min to read, then 30 min to go knock out a run before work...but when my 30 minutes of reading was up, I didn’t want to get up and go run. I justified continuing to read by saying to myself that I only had 30 min before having to get ready for work, so I might as well keep on reading. I’d negotiated with myself thst I’d workout when I got home. (& I hate working out after work) It was all reasoned well, right? Reading is beneficial, but it was not th...
