”I’m the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.” — Jimi Hendrix

Tim and Steve talk about what they feel this quote from Hendrix means. At first they agree. Then they don't. Then they do. Like many other things, this can't just be black or white. Much of its meaning is determined by the context around it.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." — Mahatma Gandhi

Forget New Year's resolutions. Instead, make the decision to first hold yourself accountable, then find accountability partners — and you'll see changes in your life take place.

Accountability begins with accepting responsibility for your own actions. Show up! And when you show up — don’t just be there — be 100% there.

Here’s to accountability in 2023! Happy New Year!

A plane trip, an encounter with a young woman and her credit card, a 5-year plan, some life wisdom, and philosophy — hear that and more on this episode. One thing's for sure: not much is free these days, certainly not on a plane.

"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." — Mike Tyson

"Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." — Bruce Lee

The word "warrior" is thrown around a lot today, even being used in marketing and on names of products that have nothing to do with warriorship. So what is a warrior? What do you think being a warrior means? That's what Tim and Steve discuss on this episode.

warrior | (ˈwȯr-yər)

• (noun) — A person engaged or experienced in warfare; a soldier

• (noun) — A person who has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness

• (noun) — One who is engaged aggressively or energetically in an activity or cause

warriorship | (ˈwȯr-yər-ship)

• (noun) — The state of being a warrior

Besides your Creator, you are alone on this journey. It’s YOUR body, YOUR mind, and YOUR spirit having this experience, taking this trip. Your choices, your mindset, your decisions to move forward — they’re all yours to do what you want with. Bernie shares his “closet concept” (similar to Jodi’s real story) with Tim and Steve to put all of this and more into perspective.

The MOST valuable thing anyone has, more than money, real estate, gold, stocks — more than ANYTHING — is time. Time is the most valuable commodity. That’s indisputable. And we all have the SAME amount of it! Let that sink in. We all have 24 hours in a day. No one has more, no one has less. On a daily basis, we all have the same amount of time to spend.

Choose to spend it wisely so that you:

• Don’t have regrets at the end of your tape measure (you’ll understand after listening)

• Do good things with your time — both for yourself and others (living a purposeful life)

This episode originally aired 4 years ago — on Thanksgiving 2018. It is so appropriate and relevant today that we decided to replay it. As you’ll hear, Steve and Tim even kicked it off stating the subject matter will still be relevant years from now. With more chaos than the world has seen in a long time — you might even say it’s MORE timely than before.

This is a testament to all we talk about on this podcast. We discuss universal principles that transcend time and space. We don't talk about trends or fads.

The Hebrew word Kadosh (קדוש​) translates to "holy" but really means "to separate" or "to set apart." Therefore, a HOLIday is a SEPARATE day — a day that is to be treated unlike others. There is appreciation, respect, and caring that isn't present at other times. On this holiday — Thanksgiving 2022 — Tim and Steve talk about all we can be grateful for.

Being thankful makes your life better in more ways than we could ever cover in our podcast. One thing is for sure — the more thankful we are, the better life becomes. And the better life is, the more there is to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving! We appreciate you. Thanks for listening.
