Welcome to the 6th episode of The Forge

The goal of the Thursday show is to show you our journey to hopefully help inspire you and hopefully help you relate more.

First, we talk about the last challenge Ty gave me:

1. 10 minutes of Horse Stance
2. Publish a short story.

I successfully completed the second challenge but failed the first one. I then spend a good amount of time talking about how you can also publish on Amazon.

We then talk about the action items given to us from this last week's guest, Juan Lee

1. Change your attitude towards success
2. Sacrifice
3. Be Humble
4. Give

Then I have a special guest on the show to give me some challenges: my wife.

I chose these action items:

1. Spend more time with my wife
2. Do not play any games on my phone for 2 weeks.

We really appreciate the support.

Hey, there adventurer!

Today we discuss learning disabilities and being broken down and built back up.

Welcome back to the 79th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast.

Today I share my conversation with author and Air Force veteran, Juan Lee. Juan has written his new book "Love Made Simple" and you can reach out to him on his website, juanleetheauthor.com, where you can sign up for his newsletter and get insights from his book.

We start off the show by talking about Juan's experience with his learning disability, which he did not know about until he was in his 30's.

We also talk about his experience in school and what his plans were after that. We then discuss his joining the Air Force and how he had to pass a reading test and that was his biggest obstacle.

We then talk about Juan's family and the great example his parents gave him. Juan's mother died when he was young but he and his family pushed on to honor her memory.

It was a great conversation with some tender moments.

As always, Juan left us some action items.

1. Change your attitude towards success
2. Learn to sacrifice
3. Learn to be humble
4. Give

Welcome to the 5th episode of The Forge

The goal of the Thursday show is to show you our journey to hopefully help inspire you and hopefully help you relate more.

Today, I'm flying solo so you'll just hear from me.

Because of that, you'll hear about Ty's previous challenge next week.

Let's talk about the action items given to us by Robert Farrington

1. Look at your time
2. Look at your finances
3. Optimize both

I then share my thoughts on those action items.

Lastly, I share the challenges I gave Ty. If you want to know what he picked, check out our social media (@thehardthingpodcast on Facebook and Instagram) to see what Ty chose.

Here are the challenges I gave Ty:

1. 1 week without complaining
2. 1 week of cold showers
3. 2 weeks of daily journal writing

We really appreciate the support.

Hey, there adventurer!

Today we discuss finances and student debt.

Welcome back to the 78th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast.

Today I share my conversation with the creator of thecollegeinvestor.com and the host of The College Investor Audio Show, Robert Farrington. You can also reach out to Robert on Youtube.

We start off by talking about how Robert was able to get out of student debt and how he created systems for others to do likewise.

We spend a lot of time talking about money today and sound financial principles.

Robert also shares how he started his entrepreneurial journey in elementary school by selling candy bars as a kid.

One of the most important insights you get from this show today is the fact that how much money is not your problem. The problem is how you are thinking about your money and your time. It's really just how you structure your priorities.

Robert left us some action items:

1. Organize your finances
2. Measure what you are doing with your time
3. Optimize both

Hey, there adventurer!

We start off asking what the hardest thing for Tyrone was. He said it was believing in himself. 

Tyrone then talks about his upbringing and how he had to overcome many negative influences, including growing up in the inner city.

He explains that he needed to avoid the negative outbursts for attention that his brothers employed.

Tyrone also explains that he wanted more from life and that desire and belief led him to imagine a better future for himself. 

Tyrone also shares that he had a coach that believed in him at a pivotal moment in his life.

We then talk about hard work and commitment and the necessity of learning from the experiences of those around and committing to believing in yourself and working for your dreams.

We talk about how so many people never take the time to fix what’s going on within themselves, yet they expect to find success.

We also talk about the necessity of finding a teammate, an accountability partner who can help push you and move you towards where you need to be.

As always, Tyron gave us some action items:

1. Write the change you want to make down
2. Commit
3. Find someone and share your commitment with them.

Welcome to the 2nd episode of The Forge

This is the new name of our thursday show.

The goal of the thursday show is to show you our journey to hopefully help inspire you and hopefully help you relate more.

Today we start off the show talking about the challenge Ty gave me 2 weeks ago, namely to count calories for a week and then do intermittent fasting and eat 1800 calories a day or less for a week.

I failed, however, I did spend the majority of the past week eating fewer than 1800 calories per day. We spend time talking about the benefits of doing a challenge like this. 

We then move onto talk about the action items given to us from this last week’s podcast guest, Rahti Gorfien (Ep. 75)

Plan your tomorrow out every night

Do the hardest things on your list first

Eat a gratitude sandwich every morning

Lastly, Ty issues a new challenge. I chose to do 1 hour of volunteer service in the next 2 weeks. 

I’d like to invite you all to join us in this challenge. Find some way to give volunteer service. Send us your results.

I’d also like to invite you to sponsor us on Patreon. There are a couple of tiers and you can either submit a challenge to Ty and I or ask a question to my next podcast guest.
