Jeff and Kevin start the episode off talking about Kevin’s 10 year, 80’s hair rock band career where he learned some very important lessons about life, business, and knowing when to pivot quickly.  Kevin shares a huge bit of wisdom he learned from the lead singer of a once-famous band called WASP, and the impact it had on his life.  Jeff and Kevin talk about reinvention, and having to start over again in life, sometimes multiple times.  A common theme of having a “service” attitude is highlighted.  They discuss the brain, PTSD, and some of the effects of misfiling some memories that become “triggers” for us.  Kevin shares the importance of physical health, and the huge factor mental health plays in our society. Jeff asks Kevin about Paintucation, a combination of paint and body, and education, which has made Kevin wildly successful in his life since 1999. Kevin shares how starting this one company led to oppportunitites to write, produce, and collaborate on projects that would leave most motor heads eaten up with envy. You’re going to love the energy, the education, and mindset of Kevin Tetz.

“We have an insulated world that we live in and we live in the greatest time that there’s ever been to live in the human race.  We have the longest life spans.  We have the most opportunities.  We’re in the most amazing digital age where training and info are at our fingertips.  And we are cocooned with privilege, opportunity, and advantage.  This feeling that everything is supposed to feel good is disingenuous.”

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 his 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.
