Addicted to Winning started exactly 100 episodes ago.  There have been many guests from various walks of life, with varying experiences, and different industries who have come to generously to share their failures, great successes, and the lessons they've learned on their journey. All of them have been shining examples of what it means to be addicted to winning.  For the 100th episode, there could not be a better guest to have on in honor of this monumental moment. 

Robert Nelson is more than a guest, and more human than most human beings.  He's a father, author, speaker, business consultant, sales professional, master grant writer, and mentor to youth. 

You may want to pull up a comfy chair, clear out the distractions, and get ready to take a cosmic dive into existentialism.  In this episode, Robert takes us back to his childhood as a kid on the streets of Chicago, doing battle with distractions that come with drugs and drinking.  He shares the pivotal moment he was awakened as a child and later as a young man and father. 

In this episode, Jeff asks Robert what drives him.  Robert shares how we're provoked by life to take action as human beings.  He explains the process of discovery is part of learning lessons, gaining experience, and elevating to the next plane of consciousness.  Robert explains that 90% of the activity required to keep us alive is done without our knowledge; it's a miracle. 

Jeff and Robert talk about how to identify goals necessary to solve the problems of this world and help the masses.  They talk about their views on spirituality, religion, and the difference between the two. 

Listen in as these two take you on the most impactful, existential, and transformative conversation you'll have the pleasure of being involved in this year. 

 

Favorite Quote:

“I will say this though, that I've realized that the term is controversial because what is winning? Winning isn't a nebulous concept. You have to really give consideration to winning involves having a goal. But a lot of people think to win, that means somebody got to lose. It means by whatever means necessary, regardless of who gets hurt in the process, I got to win. But that's not real. The reality, and this is one of the most profound things I've ever discovered, is that Jeff, winning”

 

“It was love. I'm like, this is a being that I'm accountable for. So if it required my life to get this done, I got to do something about this situation”

 

“Only people that never fail are supposed to never do anything, right? You got to fail. And it's a part of the process of discovery.”

 

“There's a discovery to be made wherever you go”

How To Get Involved:

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out. In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for the next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue SKy Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/ Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.
