"I separate my photography from my snapshots quite a bit. Because they both have their own purpose and there is nothing wrong with a snap shot at all. It's all about perspective and how much effort you're willing to put into it." -Austin Lyles

I'll start by reminding you to "pick up a camera", as Austin will say! In other words, capture and enjoy this very moment. Everything is bigger in Texas, and when it comes to possessing a brilliant humility and creative mind, Mr. Lyles goes unmatched! A photo allows people to see the world through a different perspective, or to slow it down into a moment. Which in turn, enables them to open their own mind up for epiphany. When you have that moment of stillness and connectedness with your art, it's where you have the masterpiece; where you produce masterful pictures of creativity as Lyles accomplishes through his photos. Whatever you are passionate about and love doing, get creative with it! As Lyles encourages us, be perceptive to when other's are in need of help and don't wait around for your dreams to come to you...get up and grab them! 

Highlight Quotes:

1. "Look around. Not just look at the main attraction. There's a lot of cool things that aren't part of the attraction. Everybody's paying attention to the sunset. But nobody looks behind them and sees the cool colors. Like the blues and the pinks that are behind you." -Austin Lyles

2. "What your eyes see, your head is gonna take that photo for ya." -Austin Lyles

3. "It's like when you're fishing and you catch all those little bass and they're all fun and you got the experience. But, when you get that big, heavy, heavy fish, your personal best, that's the one you go and tell all your friends about." -Austin Lyles

4. "I'm working on it personally. Sometimes, I can't just sit around and wait for somebody to come. I gotta just go out there and grab it." -Austin Lyles

5. "Not necessarily what you go to school for is what you love or what you're going to end up doing. I think the key is just keeping yourself open to opportunities in different things and also to know yourself and to hone in on what you love doing ." -Joseph Grieco

6. "They had that moment of epiphany ya know like, "wait, that failure was exactly what I needed, to realize what I was missing or what I wasn't doing, and then, it enabled them to get creative and to tweak it a little bit and make it successful." -Joseph Grieco

7. "Do a different type of shot than you've seen from everybody else's shots. Then, when someone sees your photo they will say, "That's different, not like anything I have ever seen before." -Austin Lyles

8. "That's the point of creativity...you've got to let it be free." - Joseph Grieco

Closing Song by Rut Spence "Undertow"

"Part of my growth is also deeply connected to my most vital relationships."  -Brent Loyd

What type of character comes to mind when you think of a warrior? Perhaps Wonder woman, Achilles, or Samurai come to mind. By definition, a warrior is a courageous soldier or fighter. Nowhere is an epic sword or gun fight referenced. That is because a warrior is a man or a woman who overcomes and endures the endless battles within his or her own mind. A warrior builds strong relationships with the right company, respects others and himself, pursues her dreams, and is quick to admit that he needs help.

  Long time friend and former business partner, Brent Loyd spent nearly two decades fighting for the freedom of the western world and its allies. We should all be grateful and respect his honor and courage to serve. However, it is not these battles that shape the great warrior that he is and is becoming still. As we go through this interview, you will discover that beneath the brass and bullets, there are wounds and deep needs. To live a full and happy life, you must remain disciplined and willing to help yourself and finally others. That is the walk of the warrior-it is a walk of personal growth and positive influence on others. The next time you are savoring a victory or a beautiful moment, reach out to someone else and point them towards the light that you have learned! Enjoy this amazing episode and I hope that you are inspired to heal, to grow, to inspire, to serve, to better yourself, and to walk in the way of a a warrior!

Topics Covered:

1. Having A Positive Mentality & Energy

2. Overcoming Internal Difficulties By Being Vulnerable With Yourself

3. Tending Your Garden & Recognizing How to Discern The Weeds

"Don't be common. Don't be afraid to separate yourself from the pack if the pack isn't taking you where you want to go. Leaders rise above."  -Brandon Seay

One thing that I have been told repetitively, is Jim Rohn's famous words, "you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." It is by no mistake that the individuals who have continuously preached these words to me are some of the most successful entrepreneurs today. I would also go as far as to say, you are also the sum of the books that you read, the shows that you watch, and the music that you listen to daily. Whether it is a television series, a book, or your friends, all of these things have something in common. Each of them influences you in some way. There are an exceptional amount of influences that any person will experience on any given day at any given time. As you are pursuing your goals in life, it is vitally important to understand the power that these influences have on your person and on your success. It is is also equally as vital to learn how to discern which influences to cast out and which to take in. 

Brandon Seay is someone who anyone is lucky and grateful to know and even luckier and more grateful to have within their inner circle. This intoxicatingly friendly and pertinacious leader, will share some brilliant insights from his own experiences with the power of influences. Remember this when you are choosing who to spend your time with: A sturdy and trusted bridge receives the least hesitation and has the highest rate of leading people to the other side. 

Topics Covered:

1. What Makes An Influence Good or Bad

2. The Positive Benefits Of Choosing The Right Influences 

3. Mentors And Visions

4. Consistency And Helping Others Is Key

5. Sexual Retention And Some Of The Positives It Promises

"Rocket Scientists looking like our Daughters will become the norm.” - Bianca Cefalo

 Whether your a woman or a man, you will benefit from listening to this episode. A powerful voice for STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics), Cefalo demonstrates to the world that when it comes to accomplishing our goals in life, the stars are not prejudice against one gender or another. Leading by example, she encourages every boy and girl to be their best and to do their best all while embracing one another's skills and gifts. Listen to her story and learn how she excelled by always keeping herself open to new opportunities. In life, we need to stop telling people to shoot for the stars while waiting for them to align. Instead, we must tell them that they need to take action and reach up and arrange them themselves. Dreams take positive daily action and consistent belief in oneself in order to be accomplished. Believe in yourself, believe that you can accomplish your dreams, and one day, you may just find yourself like Bianca, a pillar example that dreams are genderless and gender stereotypes can be as harmful to society as rocks in space drifting into orbit. 

Topics Covered:

1) How Bianca Cefalo Became a Rocket Scientist and International Speaker for Science

2)Overcoming Gender Stereotypes To Create a Better Society For All

3) Keeping an Open Mind and Embracing New Opportunities

4) The Real Treasure is Found in Service to Others 

5) Being a Women in STEM
