Strauser's Why:

Today we have revisited the same Starbucks as we did in EP016 to bring you this powerful and emotion driven episode. This episode is about the mental game. Building yourself mentally stronger will allow everything else to fall in line in life. Learning to rise above and to be embracing your emotions to find your "Why" that drives you. That is what today's co-host has exactly done. Brian Strauser of The Strauser Project is stepping up for the younger generation and others, blazing out a trail for others to follow. Brian is a guy with tremendous heart and wears his emotions on his sleeve... along with a few tattoos too!

We Talk The Strauser Project and more:

 Volunteer work

 Can't say no - moving past that to figure out a balanced life

 In the year 2000, Brian weighed 328lb. He had issues walking up stairs and even tying his shoes. At this point in his life, Brian could not understand why and how he got to like that.

 The wake-up call and educating himself

 The moment that saved his life

Being the best he can be and helping others

 Moving past the fear

 You are the product of the five people you spend the most time with - Jim Rohn

 Setting the standards for his kids

 A letter from a friend

 You can't force it

 Being Human and showing you vulnerable side

 In life, in business and relationships, people can talk a lot of talk. But in the end, are you taking action.

 The mental game

Build yourself mentally strong and everything else will fall in line

 It is so easy for us to focus on the "I", where are you with the "We", and saying No

 Showing up. Stepping up for the younger generation

 Endurance - It takes work

 SAID Principle: Specific adaptation to imposed to man. Which means, you get good at what you do.

 I love your legs! Pain is temporary and quitting is forever
