  • #41: Building A Legacy On Being Yourself
    I didn't realize it until the day I learned he died, but the biggest thing I learned from my former college professor Jake Highton wasn't about journalism...   Jake showed me that you can be build a legacy on being unapologetically yourself.   It's fascinating. The things we're honoring him for now are the same things a lot of us hated him for.   I hated when he gave me my lowest grade in a college course. I hated when he chewed me out for being late to class. I hated his red pen draped all over my assignments.   How many times do you think people talked bad about him or said he should go easier on his students? Probably hundreds. But did that change him? Hell no.   He was truly himself until has last day. And we loved him for it.   PS, he'd probably pull out a red pen and mark up this post if he could. Thank you for everything, Jake.

  • #40: Are You Driving Property Value Up Or Down?

    My fiancé and I are in the market for our first home right now and it's fascinating to me how one or two good houses in a neighborhood can drive the value of the rest of the homes up.

    But a few bad ones can also drive the value down...

    Where are you pushing the value of the "properties" around you? Check this out & let me know what you think on Twitter: @JuanVLopez

  • Cool People Doing Cool Stuff #004: The Story of Alena Yancey: Former Drug Addict, Single Mom Turned Crossfit Gym Owner

    So thankful for Alena taking time to share her story.

    Alena’s the owner of BattleBorn Crossfit in Reno, Nevada – the first crossfit affiliate in northern Nevada and first woman-owned crossfit gym in all of Nevada.

    She’s overcome a lot of odds: Having a drug addiction as a teen. Being a single mom of Evan Defer. Taking over BBCF in 2008 during the Great Recession.

    The woman’s a fighter and one of the most genuine people you can meet.

    Truly a pleasure to do this Q&A with her – take 30 minutes during lunch, at the gym or after work today to check this out and share it.

    If you've ever had a vice or know someone who has, please listen to this. This is really going to help a lot of people…

  • #39: Hate your job? Here are 2 things you need to do

    According to a recent survey by the USA Today, "77% of Americans have taken a job that didn't align with their interests, ambitions, or long-term goals." I'd venture to say that a lot of those 77% don't like what they do.

    So, what can you do about it?

    2 things:

    1) Talk about it

    2) Do something about it

  • #36: One Of The Main Reasons I Will Never Go Broke

    One of the biggest reasons I will never go hungry, why I will never lack, why I will never be needy is MY NETWORK.

    I've served and grown my network so DEEPLY and it reciprocates itself in my life every day.

    Your network will take you places that information can't.

    To all my students, employees who aspire to be somewhere higher, interns, business owners – purposefully build your network EVERY DAY.

  • #35: How to NOT be Myspace or Blockbuster
    Facebook hit 2 billion users this week. Reminder that FB was started in 2004 when Myspace was already killing the game.   How did Myspace get taken out? By not taking themselves out.   3 CORE TAKEAWAYS HERE: 1) Just because someone's already doing something doesn't mean you can't do it better. 2) Innovate yourself before anyone else beats you to the punch. Be your own greatest threat. 3) You're either chasing someone or being chased - either way, you better be running.

  • #34: What's your unique ability? Find it & shine in it

    One of the biggest mistakes people fall into is trying to do everything. When you are locked in on your unique ability, this is when you are at your optimal – you feel unstoppable, you have endless ideas and you're in flow. What's your unique ability? And how can you assemble others around you to support you with their unique abilities?
