Trust is the backbone of any relationship. We just happening to be talking about the relationship that exists between a company and its consumer. In this case, it's a literal consumer that ingests the products we are referencing. It is our duty, as business owners, as Veterans, as human beings with hearts and families to ensure that our customers can trust what we tell them. They expect that we have their best interests ahead of our own and that their safety and well being is more important than any dollar we can make from them. This is true for us and we will continue to do the right thing NO MATTER WHAT.

In All Honesty, the only thing that really matters is what you believe. If you believe in an idea, actually believe in it and, more importantly, believe in yourself. Because, In All Honesty, if you can't bet on yourself, who else is going to? Take action and then make a plan. Be patient and persistent.

#47..... It's been a hell of a week for both of us and this episode gave us a great opportunity to talk about perspective and what's important to us. All we really have is right now. What are you doing with your time?

In prep for a talk we gave to the Middle Schoolers at American Heritage Boca/Delray, we go really deep into what makes each of us who we are. A must listen! Neither of us ever "had it made." We've both worked and still work extremely hard to keep ourselves moving forward. Resourcefulness > Resources.

Communication is the foundation of every relationship we have. At the most basic level, communication is how we make people feel, not just by spoken word but, with our body language and intentions. SgtMaj. Mario Fields has had an extensive career leading Marines and is beginning his transition into civilian life. The Most Motivated Marine In The Marine Corps is the founder of Global Inspirational Speakers and Still Serving Inc. for-profit and not-for-profit speaking bureaus respectively. The Mission is to bring Dynamic Veteran Speakers to Corporate America to share their experiences.

Hard Work Works. Pro MMA fighter, bodybuilder, powerlifter, gym owner, and now the Strength and Conditioning Coach to the best MMA fighters in the World, Phil Daru is THE example of "if you want something, put the work in to get it." Pleasure talking with him about his process and everything in between.

The way people feel when they leave an interaction with you is their perception. What can we do to insure that we are communicating effectively and getting through the message we believe we are passing on. We can all become better communicators. MOD: Become aware of how people are interacting with you and how you're making them feel during that interaction.

In the past five years or so, there has been a lot of talk about "balance." What is balance? Is balance what I really even want? If so, what does that look like? After years of getting frustrated, I decided to stop chasing balance. At the end of it, I realized I never actually wanted "balance" in the first place. There will be chapters and points in your life where work will take up more focus than your home life; the opposite applies too. Stop seeking balance. it doesn't exist the way that you want it too. MOD: Be present in everything that you do and take time to work on yourself.
