"It's a great class but the ones that need to be here to hear it aren't here."

It never fails that you hear this at least a few times at every conference or class that I have been to. In fact, I have said it myself lots of times in the past as well, but I now have a different opinion of that. Join me on this episode as I discuss how I now look at this statement and why I have changed my perspective on the subject.

I tried releasing this on Thursday when I recorded it but wasn't able to upload it. On my trip to RFT at Lake Ozark, MO I talk a little about life lately, the struggle with consistent podcasting, and excitement for my upcoming class at the lake.

During a time of experiencing the excitement of feeling that something big is coming it’s hard to find the balance between searching and reflecting on what’s next and being patient and understanding that it’s not going to happen on my time table.

What are we missing and how can I be used to fill that gap? - That’s the question.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Dads out there. I guess it’s only fitting that episode 150 is is recorded and uploaded in honor of this great day. There’s nothing that I’ve ever wanted to be better at in life than a husband and a father but these also seem to be the 2 things that I’ve struggled with the most. Just a little of my story that I’ll share with those who need to hear it.

Today I try to share a little part of my journey that is obvious needs to be shared. I have been avoiding digging in to the topic of mental health as far as the role it’s played in my life for a long time. But I have finally come to the conclusion that I can run all I want to but if this is a part of my purpose I can’t run fast or far enough to get away from it. It’s time to embrace it and see how this part of me can help others.

In the final part of this 3-part series, we pick up right where we left off in my conversation with Olivia and Eric from Yoga For First Responders. If you did not listen to the last 2 episode, I would suggest you start their first so that you don't miss any of the great takeaways from the knowledge and passion that Olivia and Eric share.

If someone were to tell you that 5,000 years ago a program was started in order to train the most elite warriors of that time to become calm and centered in any situation, I’m sure it would pique some interest. How about if you found out that it teaches mastery of the mind and optimal functioning of the entire body, sounds even better. Oh, and one last thing, the teaching and techniques of this program were so profound and so successful that they are still practiced today. I think it’s safe to say that most of us would be signing up for that, if that’s the case then our interest in it shouldn’t fade or vanish when we find out that this practice is yoga. Hang in there though because you just might learn something that could save your life.

Today's "Road Trip Reflections" I try to shed a little different perspective on "The Mission" and what "For Them" means to me. I am glad to see some movement back towards prioritizing our citizens, but I feel like we stay way too linear with our thinking when we consider who "For Them" really should be addressing. Take a little time to listen to my thoughts about how a little change of perspective could make a really big difference in many lives.

Will Rogers is quoted to say "The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces." I will go a step further and say that there are many exit ramps as well on that road. But whether it's a parking space or exit ramp there's no question that choosing them will not lead to a successful ending. Parking spaces will keep us stuck in one place, while exit ramps will lead us completely away from our goal. This seems like a no brainer but when we are on whatever path we find ourselves on and we begin to face constant challenges, trials, and hardships; the parking spots and exit ramps begin to look like a lot better option. Mental and physical exhaustion causes us to start wanting anything that will give us a break from the constant clawing and fighting our way on this path. What paths have you veered away from and what missed opportunities has that caused you?
