923. Don't be you today.

Send us a text I just finished Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton's new book, "Go For No (the sequel)." Cassidy, who is fresh out of college, goes to work with her dad selling, and wasn't prepared for the amount of rejection she was facing. Full of doubt, she told her dad, "I don't think I can do this." Her father's response? "Don't be you." Today, I challenge you not to be you. Listen in and I will tell you why :) Get the book today: https://www.amazon.com/Go-No-Sequel-Richard-Fenton-eboo...

It may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility.

Send us a text Many people view responsibility as fault. "Who's to blame for this?" But finding blame and fault only keeps you stuck and powerless. Some things may or may not have been your fault. You can't rewrite the past, but you can begin writing your future, but only if you take responsibility from here. Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

922. Separation is good. Distance is bad.

Send us a text Recently, I took a week off. I didn't write, read, or work out. The first few days felt good, but the good vibes quickly tarnished. I began to feel purposeless, hopeless, and dark. That is when I realized that separation is a good thing, but too much distance from the things that you care about can be very dangerous. Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

921. If You Are Not Happy With Your Life, You Can Change It In 2 Ways...

Send us a text John Ruskin wrote, "If you are not happy with your life, you can change it in two ways: change the conditions in which you live or (I say, and.) change your inner spiritual state. The first you cannot always change, but the second one you can." Happiness is a direction, NOT a destination. You will never possess anything that will make you happy. Happiness is a state, a condition that you put yourself in. Aligning with happiness is not as difficult or overwhelming as you m...

920. Why You Need (Productive) Tension In Your Life.

Send us a text Let's get it. Today, I unpack the hidden value of productive tension—why it’s not something to avoid but something to embrace if you want real growth. After taking a short break and feeling an unexpected sense of emptiness, I realized that peace isn’t always the absence of tension… It’s the presence of purpose. If you've ever felt like you're drifting, lacking motivation, or stuck in a cycle of progress and regression, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover: Why feeling “...

919. Patience Is The Long Game That Pays Off (Literally)

Send us a text We all say we want success, growth, and impact, but very few of us are willing to wait for them. In this episode, I unpack a short but powerful chapter from Gary Vaynerchuk’s book 12 1/2—the chapter on patience. It’s only four pages long, but it hits like a sledgehammer. Because patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about who you become while you wait. If you’ve ever felt like you’re behind in life, rushing to catch up, or burning out from trying to prove yourself, this one’s ...

918. Same Shift, Different Day.

Send us a text Have you ever asked someone how they are doing and they respond by saying, "Same shit, different day." You might feel like you're working the same job, walking into the same rooms, dealing with the same people and problems. But what if you started to see new opportunities within those same environments? You don’t need a new environment. You need new awareness. Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

914. Are Your Story-telling Or Story-selling?

Send us a text Today, I am rocking out of Bryan Eisenberg's new book, "I Think I Swallowed An Elephant," and it is about storytelling vs. story-selling. We are wired to tell stories. The question is, what kind of story are you telling? Your narrative navigates your life. Where it leads is up to you. Today, I'm challenging you to story-sell, don't just story-tell.

Send us a text How many times have you said, "Let me wait and see," hoping that things will magically fix themselves so you don't have to make the tough decisions? Indecisiveness makes you soft, weak, and dependent on others. You have enough to get started. Make a stand in your one and only life. Work and see, don't wait and see.

908: You can't live in a cabin in the woods for the rest of your life.

Send us a text Tolstoy said, "Any self-improvement is impossible if you live constantly in the bustle of the everyday world—but it’s also less possible if you live in constant solitude. (You can’t do that either.) If you want to improve yourself, the best approach is to develop and establish your view of things in solitude, and then apply it as you live in the everyday world." I love this quote. It speaks directly to why I bang the drum about starting your day with you. I say this: set time asi...
