Breakthrough Takeaways

Welcome back to the ValueVerse podcast. If you like the show please consider leaving a 5-star review.

-Have you ever been told you’ll never amount to much? A time that someone doubted you. Did you believe them and just give up. Or did you use it as fuel?

-When something bad happens you have three choices: You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

You must have heard the quote:

“Ever tried.

Ever Failed.

No matter.

Try again.

Fail Again.

Fail Better.”

-Samuel Beckett

The difference between you and the person that is doing what you want to do isn’t much. Or maybe you’re already doing that, which is awesome.

It may remind you of this quote:

“Never wish life were easier,

wish that you were better.”

-Jim Rohn

“Every problem is a gift- without problems, we would not grow.”

-Tony Robbins

Lastly, do you value your time, or what do you do with it exactly? Do you spend the days worrying about something out of your control? Or do you roll your sleeves up and get to work on learning a new skill, that language you wanted to learn, or the dance class you wanted to take.

The better version of yourself is waiting on the other side of your problems, distractions, and attitude towards events.

I’ll give you three words that resonated with me: Achieve your goals.

That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Two awesome guests this week: This week I have a business coach and entrepreneur Simon Meadows who has his own podcast Business Success and Coffee that I was on, a super entertaining and informative podcast. He’s got a great story, and gives some great practical takeaways and tips you can actually use.

I also have Ed Latimore, retired pro boxer, author, and competitive chess player. You can check him out at @edlatimore we clicked on Instagram. He overcame a lot and is putting some serious work in. You may know him from Twitter and several books. He’s as real as they come.

Thank you for listening to the valueverse podcast. I truly appreciate the support. Stay tuned as I constantly refine the show for your listening pleasure. If you think of a name change please email [email protected] the content will always be story-driven of course while you have your own takeaways.

Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse as Kawan, Brandon, and Allison talk about being finding their ‘why’, holistic approaches to health and fitness, and overcoming distractions of the mind.

“Focusing on my fitness has helped to improve every area of my life. It has helped me to get out of debt, improved my professional work, and every other area of my life. It’s what has lead me to where I’m at today and helped me to support other people’s fitness journey to improve their lives.”

Do you ever feel like you’re fighting an uphill battle in an attempt to

chase success?

In this episode, we speak with Rick Jordan, CEO of ReachOut Technology, one of the best cyber security and IT management firms in the country.

Tune in to this week’s episode of ValueVerse as Kawan and Rick talk about life lessons from their work history, building relationships in your industry, and the need to learn from mistakes in order to progress in your career.

“I could lean on my talents so much to try to get things accomplished and prove myself but what I failed to do in the corporate realm was create relationships. In order to continue to advance, I knew I had to stop going after achievements and begin forming relationships.”

Welcome back to another episode of the ValueVerse and thank you for checking me out and giving me your time. I know it is quite valuable and I appreciate you.

Before you have anything you have to decide what you want: Have the burning desire backed by faith.

Life is a game, not a joke. You have to learn the rules of the game before you can break them. You move up in different levels and certain skills get learned along the way.

A common analogy that is used in business is the cross similarities of sports and nature in the aspects of team and cycles.

In nature, it’s understanding the different types of relationships. Mutualism and Symbiosis.

In basketball, there are several factors in winning a game: Individual Game & Team Game

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”   -Phil Jackson

“Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the me for the we.” -Phil Jackson

Team can mean anyone, including family.

Another example in nature is the importance of understanding cycles. Spring, summer, fall, and winter. Make long-term decisions in the summer, because the winter always comes.

Make your reason to win for someone else and you. Go for Win/Win.

Tune in this week to catch Rick Jordan from the ALL IN podcast tomorrow at 6 am Pacific Time! We covered a lot and he’s a great guest. He opened up about business, being a CEO and having a family, win/win, mentors, and much more.

On Wednesday I’ll be having Allison Jackson and Brandon Eastman. Two top coaches to bring you a ton of VALUE around vision, obstacles, goal setting, working together, and what coaching is.

Want to suggest any podcast names, improvements, or just say hi?

Welcome back to another episode of the ValueVerse podcast stories of life and work. Tomorrow morning on Tuesday, August 17th at 6 am PST, I’m going to have a guest by the name of Josh Elledge. 

Big episode to listen to everyone, don’t miss this one, there’s a lot of takeaways here. This guy has had massive success in the business world, building seven-figure businesses, having a family with a lot of inspiration and energy here.  

We talked about giving and sharing their journey and story. Understand: the most important power you’ll have is your story and character. No one can be a better you, than you. What's your story? What's your journey?

Your call to action: Find out what makes you, you. What are the things that drive you? What are the next steps you can take to realize what it is you want? In short: what is your motivation and where do you derive your meaning from? 

Every great endeavor starts with a single step. All these masters and professionals you see and hear of were all beginners. They all had failures and harsh realities. 

What differentiated them was a combination of: 

1. Action- Constantly taking action and creating forward momentum.

Make sure you check out the show notes, I’m going to leave some book recommendations that helped me and that you’ll get some takeaways from. 

Listen to Josh Elledge Tuesday 8/17 at 6 am Pacific Time. If you enjoy the ValueVerse podcast, subscribe to the show, it really helps and I’ll be releasing content every week to help you take it to the next level.

Welcome back everyone to another episode of the ValueVerse podcast. I’m your host Kawan. ValueVerse, for those that are listening for the first time is a podcast on adding value and basically stands for beneficial words. So if you want to learn and hear some entertaining stories, subscribe to the podcast and I’ll make sure you get some solid takeaways.

This week I have a fascinating guest by the name of Eric PEELON Bignell. Eric has a PhD and is a pragmatic futurist focused on addressing disruption by increasing the creative capacity of individuals, teams, and organizations to ignite change, innovation, and foster continuous growth. Eric will be on the podcast tomorrow August 10, at 6am Pacific Time.

Very interesting episode as we got into: 


The different styles of thinking.

A world of change.

Decision making, long term strategy.

The book he wrote- Surfing Rogue Waves: How to paddle out into the

21st century.

We talked different theories

I’ve always been looking into the future, after talking many personality tests, I’m a believer in a sense that everything is always changing. It’s sometimes tough for us to see that far ahead, and certainly thinking about it can cause quite the stir. You have to have a deep belief that things will go better rather than get worse. Always look for the upside in things.

A good takeaway is to remember when all is lost is to think: the future is now. It’s what happens today, that determines your future. It all goes back to the habits, friends, books, and the new skills you pick up today. When you focus on continuous improvement, this won’t be an issue for you. As you’ll always be ready for change. The future belongs to those that focus on constant and never ending improvement and learn new skills. The question is: Are you ready?

Thank you again for listening to the ValueVerse Podcast. Please subscribe to the show and I’ll have more big things coming your way as I am hooked on adding value to your life.
