    Personal development is so critical as it allows us to check our progress towards our personal goals. Self assessment through the DISC Index is among the best things that you can do to know your adaptive and natural behavioral styles. Join us today as we hear the flight  attendant finesse,

    Today on the show we had Ant share his experience being a High I, he has had to do some personal development to get into his structures and systems. We also had to go back and review the momentum conversation, as Coach Ash and Coach Ant talked about how you can have those small victories, those minor things that you do are wins and should be celebrated as such, that’s when Coach Ash mentioned her win jar.

  • Ep 2: Systems Thinking

    It’s pretty common to lose that excitement you had when the new year started. After a few weeks of the new year that goal you set becomes tiring, boring, and it just doesn’t get completed. The harsh reality is that we fail to execute our new years goals because we do not plan some practical action steps to accomplish them, “big is just a bunch of smalls”. It’s those habits and consistencies that when you reverse engineer, what was an intimidating feat becomes something you feel you can do. Setting goals and having a system to go about them is super critical to talk about.


    In today’s show, Coach Ash and Coach Ant, extreme execution coaches talked about the Air Traffic Controller’s preference for systems and structures. Coach Ant shared some dope experiences with us as he mentioned how his natural preference as a high I was to be really emotional about his goals. Too many of us are super excited during the new year and we set these awesome goals but unfortunately they never happen because we did not set practical action steps, and those big emotional goals we set at the start of the year eventually feel overwhelming. Coach Ant talked about the system's behavioral style and how he had to get uncomfortable, and write out his goals on a detailed spreadsheet. This was a challenge for him because he is a high I!  So in this episode we talked about systems as it concerns our quarterly goals. Tune in with us today!

    The new year is definitely here thank GOD we made it but are you now executing or just waiting around? Most people it’s just another day and they keep the same lame mindset since last year. Unlike most, Coach Ash and Coach Ant are feeling brand new. We have decided some personal benchmarks for the new year, tune in today! 


    Welcome! Coach Ash and Coach Ant are certified extreme execution coaches. They really take initiative in the personal development industry. This episode Coach Ash mentioned she is graduating this May 2021, purchasing several real estate investment properties, and evel losing some weight. Coach Ant mentioned his amazing quarterly targets as well.

    • Ep 19: Accountability

      Majority of Americans just need an accountability partner to operate more effectively because unfortunately we don’t do what we said we were going to do. We are super busy. We have minor goals and major goals that we work really hard to accomplish but you can accomplish those goals much earlier with the assistance of an accountability partner. Accountability partners hold you to your word, and more so hold you to do the task that you said you were going to do. By the way, there is so much power in a community of accountability partners.


      Today on the show we welcomed Coach Ash as she has returned from her birthday vacation in Mexico and then we hit the ground running on the subject of accountability partners. There are some accountability partners that hold you to your word vs some partners who may let you go back on your word from time to time. We really dived in on the relationship that anyone can have with their accountability partner as we discussed behavioral styles so that you can match yourself with the right partner. Coach Ash and Coach Ant are both high I’s on the assessment, in other words they are flight attendants so they needed to match themselves with a partner who can compliment or counter their limitations. Coach Ant also described his 3 years experience dialing in to the BU accountability calls, he mentioned how people would call you out if you went ghost on the call!!! The effect is that when you are the appropriate community of accountability partners they will call you out when you are delaying or when you just need a shot of energy! We ended the show with some practical action steps to matching yourself to the right accountability partner.

      • Ep 18: Celebrate the Small Victories

        Most people overlook the small victories of their life, there are so many fine details that you should be thankful for. When you start off your day, and brush your teeth, eat breakfast, and hop on an accountability call, check in with the family, all before your day really gets busy. Those things are all momentum and those are the small victories that we can definitely celebrate. Most of us wake up late because we hit the snooze, so we are going through the rest of the day reacting to our poor start, that's a disaster because we are then operating from our adaptive behavior.


        On today's show, Coach Ash and Coach Ant talked about the momentum that you feel when you achieve even the small wins. Small wins are waking up on time, getting yourself cleaned up, it's the small things that you can do before your day gets crazy busy. All throughout that time we are building the momentum because we started the day right, we also mentioned strategies to get back on schedule when you get derailed or start multitasking. Then Coach Ant talked about his experience of being a high I, he mentioned how he has learned a bit from the systematic behavior of a high C and how that awareness caused him to streamline his schedule. To end the show, Coach Ant and Coach Ash discussed momentum as it concerns Mario, you can get a boost before the race of life starts if you prepare ahead of time!!

      • Ep 17: You got sight but no vision

        More people than I'd like to admit are confused between vision and sight, reflect on it and you'll notice vision and sight aren't the same. The late great Helen Keller has one of the greatest quotes of all time,  "The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." Helen Keller (1880 - 1968). Here Helen made a clear distinction between sight and vision, so in today's show we defined vision and  then elaborated on why it's so critical for your life that you create a vision for yourself.

        On today's show, Coach Ash and Coach Ant chopped it up about you having your own vision for yourself, as opposed to living out the plan that society's norms sell you from childhood. Support member Peter Gachuki also  shared a dope quote about vision that set the tone for the episode. Coach Ant dived right in and shared with us his experience as he was working in healthcare, and being a flight attendant it wasn't in his  natural gifting so he mentioned how he grew into the position. The effect of this was that the education system is actually really misleading as a lot of folks blindly accept the rat race and the "american dream".  We discussed the blue collar mentality and the false idea of retirement; folks postpone their desired lifestyle, but we know retirement is NEVER promised. We also shared our super dope mission statements because that keeps us on track on of our vision. And finally to wrap up the show we gave you steps to start the process of having a vision for yourself, by speaking on how to let go of doubts and fears you have so  you can just reverse engineer your vision. A vision can be reverse engineered into practical action items, but first you have to get rid of fear and other peoples limitations.  You don't need an approval / affirmation for your vision!!

        • Ep 16: Habits and Consistencies in 2021

          The new year with your new experiences is right around the corner, so we wanted to let you know that if you keep doing the same thing again and again and you're not seeing  results, then the root cause is your habits and consistencies. Straight up!!!


          Welcome to our weekly episode of DISCover U Podcast, hosted by Coach Ash and Coach Ant. Also welcome to season 2!!! On today's show, we introduced the concept of positive habits and consistencies as well as being aware of negative habits that are not aligned with your personal goals. Coach Ant began by defining the words so that we can know  exactly what we are talking about, then Coach Ash chimed in as she mentioned people's goals vs the prerequisite tasks needed to accomplish the goal. We really wanted you to reverse engineer your goals, with an emphasis of setting yourself up to succeed by performing the minimal goal in order to build up to that ultimate goal. Coach Ant also explained  a law of physics to describe that objects require more energy to start motion than to sustain motion, alluding to the fact that you should start a habit you get that initial momentum going. On today's show we also talked about awareness, a major key on this episode was being aware and self assessing what is not working vs the adjustments that you need to make. To close the show Coach Ash and Coach Ant, provided advice on how to accomplish your goals by using habits and consistencies.

            We are two students of personal development breaking down their wins and lessons to empower others, Welcome to DISCover U Podcast!

            In today's episode, Coach Ash and Coach Ant mentioned our natural behavior is our home court advantage, where you will have an environment in your favor.  We wanted to inspire you to operate in your natural style as opposed to your adaptive style, because the natural is where you are less stressed, more motivated,  as opposed to working in your adaptive. Coach Ant mentioned taking ownership of the space you are working in, especially when their are people who bring negative energy, are you able to distance negative vibes and people? Or does that negative energy challenge you to get to the next level? Let see how we can shift our behaviors so that we can play on our home court. LETS WIN!

            In today's episode, Coach Ash and Coach Ant probed the topic of exposure as they discussed how important it is to develop yourself by having exposure to communities of successful individuals. Being in communities like Breathe University for the last two years, Coach Ant was able to exit his comfort zone, and he was able to receive his experiences in BU in order to share the wealth with his Men's Group.  Exposure further means spending quality time with folks who are striving in their lane, you don't have to be great..  BUT if you surround yourself with the right folks then you will be great just like them! LETS WIN!
