Episode 2: 'Let's Jump Right In'

This episode is about finding FREEDOM through creating and living the life that you want. We are all about promoting that it feels good to feel good. In this episode we explore how and when we took control of our lives and began to feel "FREE".

WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS THE TURNING POINT WHEN YOU REALLY TOOK CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE?

 STEVE:  Consolidating my student loans from a variable to a fixed interest rate

• "I don't want to be a SPONGE." I want to be independent.
• Learning how to budget and save money so that I can enjoy life and have fun
• Growing up, it took a lot of mistakes and falling off the wagon to get moving in the right direction. Once I gained confidence in my ability to save and get rid of my student loans, I just kept my head down and made it happen.

JON:  I was raised to be self reliant at a young age. I was able to realize the sacrifices my mother was making for our family. I never wanted to be a burden and ask anyone for too much.

• Life is like a game. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Regardless of the outcome, you appreciate and learn to come to terms with that reality. It's amazing how much pressure you can take off of yourself.
• Play to "win".
• The people I surrounded myself with were all basically doing the same thing. Working hard and getting things done.

We both grew up playing sports. We are both Wrestlers!

WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND TO OTHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO TURN THE CORNER AND GAIN FREEDOM IN THEIR LIVES?

JON:  Keep a positive attitude. Don't let negative situations weigh you down. Find forward momentum and keep pushing through.

The best way to DO anything is to just GET STARTED.

STEVE:  Surround yourself with people who always seem to find SOLUTIONS. Step up to the plate and find a way to get the job done.
