Common Chaos Podcast

Khalil Kennedy is a friend of mine residing here in Austin, Texas, originally hailing from St. Louis, MO. He is a middle school educator and coach, a breakdancer, and a jiu jitsu blue belt. If you’re thinking, “wow this dude sounds badass”, you’d be correct. Khalil gives us his take on what the future young generations could potentially bring about. He fills us in on what is plaguing the education systems throughout America, but also lends us some ideas on how it can be fixed. We touch on the ideas of progression and post modernity all while questioning if we’re truly doomed or not. It’s a two parter so buckle up.

We’re constantly being bombarded with distractions and influences. Absorbing whatever is stimulating our senses and our attention at any given time. Do we know how to filter the good from the bad? the chaos from the order? Do we know how what we absorb affects us and how we can use it to our advantage? Life is full of experiences, those experiences culminate to the very lives we live. How are we allowing them to define us? And how can we learn to utilize these experiences to the best of our ability? It’s important that we try and manage these things effectively. What we take in we ultimately give back out, so it is necessary for us to be able to identify whether what we’re taking in is an influence, or a distraction. We also need to know whether or it’s feeding the chaos or the order.

We all struggle with some form of creative block, and this episode is a living example of that. Not too mention It took four months, draft after draft, and a few life events from where we last left off. I have finally come out of hiding and am ready to face the world. I will embrace the suffering and teach my lessons along the way.

In this episode I ramble on and on and on about a lot of nothing and everything at the same time. Life doesn’t get any easier, no matter how hard you try, or at least it feels that way. Dialing in on what is important and necessary for you to be successful in your own life is one of the hardest things to figure out, or at least it has been for me. And what’s worse is that, I don’t know if I’m doing any of this right. I don’t even know what right looks like… What does right look like? What does right feel like? We all know what success and accomplishment look like from the outside; but do we know what it feels like from the inside? Perception can be a cruel bitch.

Going all in on yourself is a hard decision, but in reality, it’s truly now or never. Every day you waste not trusting your soul is another day closer to the great demise you know is waiting for you. I’m inconsistent, out of touch, and performing a poor excuse of balancing act aptly named, “keeping my life together”. I’m scared that I’m not gonna have all the answers by the time I die. 

In this episode, I admit a failure in an attempt to rid myself of this endless mundane cycle of falling and getting back up, Im not being knocked down mind you; I’m just falling, over my own feet. As I stumble along this journey I’m marching to 100 episodes with the podcast. After that who knows what. You’re going to hear some vulnerable honest truths on the way there. Our destinations are all different, but we all end up in the same place together. Another plane in another dimension. Or as a nihilist may refer to it… Nothing at all. So why not take the chance.

Enjoy the show!

I am joined by my good friend Bryan Olives. Olivas is a fellow sales leader and enthusiast of life. Driven by his passion for experiences, Olivas has learned as you grow, your outlook and perceptions grow as well. The important part is how/why these feelings and ideas grow. Is the growth a result of pain, anger, resentment? Or is a result of happiness, love, and joy? Growth comes from experiences and emotions. We can only hope to have an idea of how to react appropriately. Its a tough world out there folks, Buckle up!

Recorded on 03/08/2021) It happened. I got the VID. Luckily it’s come and gone and I can live to tell the tale. Sweats, dehydration, confusion, exhaustion, the shits… I talk about it all in this episode in an attempt to better prepare you, if and when you get it. I also discuss the importance of intentional health, recent changes to mask mandates, and what the future of C-19 could look like. I hope my experience helps in some way. Take care of yourself and each other.

A month and half into 2021 and love is in the air, at least it was until climate change decided to crash the party. The entire state of Texas was at the start of one of the harshest weather events in recent memory and we were there to tell the tale. We also discuss our recent deep dive into Star Wars, Wandavision, Matrix, and Harry Potter. We discuss our goals for 2021, the state of the world, and other non-sense for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

(Recorded on 2/13/2021) Attitude is a crucial component to the equation of life. At least that’s how I’ve interpreted the impact of an attitude adjustment thus far in my life. I truly believe attitude is the difference in a good day and a bad day. A simple mindset shift can take you from the bed to the book, a zero to a hero, or whatever lame analogy you need to light that spark. I for one can only speak from experience. However, attitude is long discussed in terms of success and fulfilling potential. In this episode I share some examples and resources to help you with that shift. So what about your attitude needs an adjustment?
