2020 has been a wild year. 

Some people stepped up to the plate this year, and others got knocked off the tracks. 

In January, Jeramiah first started his mixed martial arts journey. 

One year later, he will be stepping into the cage for his first cage fight since starting this journey. 

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: 

When you relay any bad information to yourself or your team, you stop yourself from performing at the level that you could be performing at. 

False reporting comes in many different shapes and sizes. It comes from reporting assumptions rather than facts, taking information in too quickly, or relaying information too many times, which creates a "telephone" situation. 

In this episode, we will give insights on how bad information and false reporting are affecting leaders, how you can identify these spots, and how you can tighten up these situations to get the most out of yourself and your team. 

Understanding all of this will ultimately save you a lot of time and hassle that can come from acting too quickly on bad information and give you more time to focus on dominating in your area of life. 

A bad boss will be detrimental to the productivity and the culture of any organization. 

What can you do if you find yourself in a situation where you are working with a team led by a terrible boss?

In this episode, Jeramiah will break down what you should do and what you should not do when working with poor leadership. 

These tips will help you sustain a positive culture within your organization and combat the negative effects that your boss might have on the organization. 

Running 100 miles is no easy task.

It takes a certain amount of dedication, perseverance, and grit to finish a single 100-mile run. Let alone one hundred of them in a row!

Today's guest, Michael Ortiz, has completed one hundred 100-mile runs across one hundred weeks, which is something he would have never thought possible.

Michael did not start life being an ultra-athlete and high achiever. As a matter of fact, early on, Michael believed he wasn't physically capable of running a marathon, let alone 100 miles.

He most definitely didn't believe that he could complete a 100-mile race in his apartment during COVID.

Then one tragic event fueled him to go above and beyond what he ever thought was possible, and breakthrough barriers that have never been broken before. 

Listen to today's episode for the tactics and strategies Michael used to accomplish a goal no other human has accomplished before and use his story to break through limits of your own.

What you focus on expands.

It does not matter if you are focusing on the positive, or focusing on the negative. The more you pay attention to one particular outcome, the more likely that you are going to get that outcome.

This episode is going to break down the way that we focus on our goals, and then provide the tools to sharpen your focus and think like a true winner.

Take a second to look back over your past, and try to think about the points of your life where you have grown the most.

What caused that growth?

We have asked ourselves this question… and I think we all know what the answer is.

So how can we ensure that we continue to grow?

Is there a way to keep growing without throwing our lives into a spiral of chaos?

There is.
