Cup Half Full: Your Monday Motivation Podcast

As we celebrate the 244th birthday of the greatest nation on Earth, Nick reflects on how the values of the USA are motivating and positive!

Through a recounting of one patriot's service in the American Revolution, Nick demonstrates love of country and explores just what we- as citizens of the USA- have to motivate us!

When you think of the leader of any huge international business, what do you picture? A stuffy CEO in a suit in some office? An artificial corporate culture? What if I told you to picture a leader with a caring heart for every of one the hundreds of thousands of men and women across the globe that they lead? What about a shining "corporate" culture that produces the most powerful single entity on Earth- the United States Air Force!

Join ROCKSTAR LEADER JoAnne Bass, Command Chief Master Sergeant of the Second Air Force, and I this week as we dive into "Strategic Leadership with a Heart". Chief Bass shares her insight on caring, connected, and inspiring leadership after 27 years-and counting- in the service. She and I discuss how leaders and managers of any organization can foster and perpetuate a culture of heart that transcends all levels of the organization focusing on the people of it. 

In a time where racial tensions are at a high, and civil unrest as a reaction to the murder of George Floyd stings the nation as an open wound, a return to our racial climax following the American Civil War and promotion of peace, unity, healing, and understanding is more than called for. 

Join Nick this week, and his guest Mrs. Georgia Wright-Benton, an African American member of the United Daughters of The Confederacy, as they explore race relations, the Civil Rights Movement, and healing. Mrs. Wright-Benton will detail the service of her Great Grandfather, a Black Confederate Soldier who is one of the only documented men of color in either Army to serve in both theaters of the war and three branches of service. Additionally, she will contextualize the Black Lives Matter movement and define what we- as a nation- need to do to overcome the evils of racism, bigotry, and discrimination.

False Evidence Appearing Real; That is the meaning of "fear". This week, Nick expands on this concept by encouraging us to be fearless in all that we do. By sharing several instances in which he overcame fear, Nick shows us how fear and the achieving of your dreams are unquestionably intertwined. 

Never bow to FEAR; F.E.A.R. is BS!

This week, Nick is talking about an often overlooked topic; Rest. Rest is one of the most essential aspects of success, and ties directly into positivity and motivation. 

In order to function at 110%, one must rest 100%. Rest assures functionality, it ensures that we can give our all to whatever it is that we take on. It even allows us to "roll with the punches" and stand firm in the face of adversity. We often hear that rest is for the weak; This week, Nick offers to you...

Time spent at rest is not time wasted; It is time dedicated.

Join Nick this week as he talks about two key topics; Love and Leadership. Nick will be discussing these through the overarching themes discussed in his two soon-to-be-published books, "You Are Loved" and "L.E.A.D.E.R.", which will soon be available on Amazon.
