July 15, 2022 Danny Castillo - ”Last Call”
Danny Castillo worked for a time in marketing in sales. He hated it. At the age of 28, much later than people typically get started, Danny decided to do a complete career shift and start professionally fighting in the UFC. He had to train hard, and he brought his work ethic to the table. He has since begun his own business, a palates studio based in Sacramento and has started a family.
All of these things require a sense of discipline and a willingness to take on challenges that come with that. With his busy schedule, he still finds the time to give back to the community by getting involved with Make A Wish and helping members of his community improve their health through his business.

It may not seem like it, but this episode is about you. In fact, this whole podcast is about you.

July 04, 2022Life Experiences, Lessons For The Future Leaders
Humans are naturally resistant to change. Being in a comfort zone makes people complacent and content with what they have or what they are doing. Sometimes, in order to improve, it's necessary to step out and challenge oneself by trying to overcome anything that opposes you.
Zach Even-Esh talks about his life experiences, and lessons, and gives advice to future leaders. Learn how he overcame adversity, how he took criticism and came into self-realization, and how the way he worked things out affected the outcome of several moments in his life. Tune in as young leaders ask Zach questions about life, personal growth, and more!
Quotes:
“Sometimes you got to do what you got to do and get the work done. And it might mean the early morning, the late-night, but whatever it takes. If you want to change the outcome, you often have to change your output.” – Zach Even-Esh

“People always talk about: Do you work smarter? Do you work harder? It’s both. You work smarter and you try to get more efficient in what you're doing while still putting in that effort – Ryan McClure

“A life spent looking for shortcuts is a long road to nowhere.” – Naval

“If I would have listened to everybody who's said, I'm an idiot, I'm dumb. It won't work. You know, nothing would happen.” – Zach Even-Esh

“When you get to that level where you're doing work that matters. You're no longer going to be interested in going out to find a job. They're just going to come to you and these big jobs that everybody wants.” – Seth Godin
Takeaways:
Doing whatever it takes to get the work done is a simple concept. Just keep telling yourself that you have to do it, no matter what. Because the only way you can change the outcome of something is through changing the way you do things in the first place.

The way you work would severely affect the output of your work. Therefore, working hard and working smart at the same time is key to getting good results.

Instead of trying to make things easier for yourself and running out of time to do anything at all, it’s way better to just start doing it in the first place. Stop looking for excuses.

People will always criticize you no matter what you do and no matter how you’ve done something. It’s best to keep our head up and power our way through adversity in order to achieve our goals.

Loving what you do is key to being satisfied with the work you’re trying to do in the first place. Once you are content with that, good things will always come your way.
Conclusion:
Personal growth is very difficult to attain especially when you’re someone who is weak of heart and very self-critical. Sometimes you just have to power through every obstacle that gets in your way, even yourself. At the end of the day, you will realize that through perseverance and the guts to never give up, you will achieve what you’ve always wanted.

June 30, 2022Life Lessons For The Young Leaders
Humans are naturally antagonistic with one another. So, it’s up to us to try and understand other people by trying to see through their differing viewpoints, knowing what makes them tick, and understanding how they came up with their ideas in the first place. After all, who better understand humans than our own selves?
Will Witt shares with us his experiences in public speaking and shows hosting. He also tells us about what his observations are on the current state of the youth in the United States and how he deals with and understands other people’s opposing views. Tune in as he also discusses life lessons and gives advice to young leaders.
Quotes:
“When you are talking to people who you might disagree with, you are having compassion. You are trying to change people's minds. And when it comes to these bigger ideas, you have to be unflinching—unable to be stopped. You have to be an unstoppable force and machine of truth and factual information against the macro.” – Will Witt

“I think the most important thing that you can do is talking to people in a grassroots type of way. Because that's really how this country is saved. It's a war of information right now, people don't even understand what's going on most of the time.” – Will Witt

“I know that in the age of canceled culture, and people trying to destroy us for having any sort of type of disbelief, people want to destroy you, they want to ruin you. But there is no greater pursuit in life than the pursuit of truth.” – Will Witt
Takeaways:
Always make an effort in understanding other people’s viewpoints by observing and listening to them. And if you’re trying to change their mind about a certain topic, your arguments must be firm and decided.

Fake news is very rampant everywhere. So it's up to everyone who knows the truth to let other people know to stop the spread of misinformation.

People will always fear anything that’s different from their norm. And in the age of social media, anyone can go on a witch-hunt against someone they disagree with online. But people should always strive for what they believe is the truth.
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it in the first place, but so long as you envision what you really want something to be, then you’ll eventually know if what you’re doing is the right thing.
People shouldn’t be easily swayed by other people just because you want to appease them. Instead, you should be fighting for the truth, no matter how hard it would be for you to do so.
The youth should be able to communicate their thoughts properly, especially in conversations, arguments, and debates. Doing this ensures that you are understood by your counterpart properly especially if you are of opposing views. Proper communication is, after all, key to very successful conversations and relationships.

June 29, 2022Growth Mindset and Succeed In Life with Aaron Bare and Layne Norton
Everyone has their problems. They could be financial, personal, or a combination of the two. But whatever they are, difficulties are an inevitable part of existence. Our lives are filled with uncertainties. We can keep trying and improving at something that appears complicated at first. But that doesn't imply you should abandon your goals since you can't reach them in the first place.
Layne Norton is a professional weightlifter and bodybuilder who has competed in the world's most prestigious weightlifting competitions. Layne's story is one of overcoming self-doubt and fear of failure to achieve success. He will talk about how he overcame those hurdles and succeeded in his career as a weightlifter.
Aaron Bare is a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of Exponential Theory (X‑Theory). With his life experience, he understands that if you want to succeed in anything you do, it starts with having a growth mindset and being passionate about learning. Tune in to hear what today's young leaders have to say about everything from the meaning of life to how to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Quotes:
"Self-confidence does not develop unless you have done something correctly and overcome it." - Matt Beaudreau

"Keep your feet going, and don't stop. Because you can usually keep pushing forward. I just kept moving, no matter how horrible it was". - Layne Norton

"Doing something because you are enthusiastic about it is the most effective approach to ensure that your life has significance." - Layne Norton

"Follow the success patterns of those other individuals who are accomplishing what you want to do have put down for you." - Matt Beaudreau
Takeaways:
Most people are eager to make an effort if there is a guaranteed outcome; nevertheless, it is tough for them to put in the labor when there is no assurance of a result.

One of the most important things you can do to enhance your life is to be consistent and committed. You can establish a plan, stick to it, and reap the benefits when you're consistent. When you commit to anything for the long term, you can see it through and get the results you desire.

Resilience is the ability to recover from adversity and make mistakes. It is not just about being able to tolerate pain but also about learning from it and moving forward. Resilience is crucial because it permits people to persevere in the face of adversity.
While consistency, commitment, resilience, and enthusiasm are all crucial qualities, the growth mindset may be the most potent. People will approach obstacles confidently and efficiently when they believe in their ability to grow and develop over time. They will be able to adapt to shifting trends and conditions. Because they have a healthy view of how their work should change through time, their work will be more creative and original.
