  • Ep. 77 - When You Have the Courage to Walk Away

    When you don't face the problems inside of your farm operation, the pain and struggle just begin to multiply.

    The hard truth is, you are believing lies and avoiding the truth because it is painful.

    However, the longer you avoid the truth the more damage it is going to do to your life and you will inevitably one day burn it all to the ground or end up being completely miserable.

    When you make a decision to no longer put up the bullcrap and decide that you are going to go to war, you will come to the realization that there are going to be things that you are going to have to walk away from.

    The question is, do you have the courage to do so?

    When you ignore the small fires in life, they only multiply.

    The problem is oftentimes you are unaware of how to solve the problem. The only way you have been taught how to deal with it is to ignore it or sedate it.

Until then, you are just a man who is going to be destroyed when the first wave comes.

  • Ep. 71 - Be The Man That Leads

    Most men live in quiet desperation "hoping" that things will magically work out in their lives one day.

    The truth is, you are avoiding something that you do not want to confront. And you know exactly what that is.

    It could be the realization of a failing business, a relationship that has to end, or problems in your marriage that keep coming up time and time again.

    One way or another, you are not leading.

    You tell yourself that "tomorrow" I will begin working out. I will confront my wife tomorrow.

    When deep down, you know for a fact that is a lie.

  • Ep. 69 - Stop the Bullshit Excuses
    One thing I learned about being in debt $600k at 19 was how I used my age as leverage to "not take responsibility".I felt "noble" walking this path because nobody around my age was doing what I was doing, which put pride on my shoulders.The problem was that I never felt the weight of this until I began to experience the financial reality of my operation.What I was missing was the TRUTH. I'd been living a lie and just hoping and praying that things were going to get better without me having to take any action.I was living a lie.I was spending all of my time helping other people with their problems instead of taking a stand for myself and doing what I needed to do for myself.Until you stop the bullshit stories and take control of your own life and operation, you are going to be in a Pit for the rest of your life.

  • Ep. 68 - Reality vs. Fantasy Land

    There are two places in your mind in which you exist.

    The first is a place known as Reality. This is where you are in Truth and can see the Facts about your current reality.

    You feel the painful consequences of past decisions, your bank account, your marriage relationship, or an overweight body that only seems to be fading away.

    Unfortunately, most people do not spend the majority of their time in this place. Instead, they find themselves in a place called Fantasy Land.

    This is where you like to hang out because you don't have to face the painful truth about your current situation.

    Whether it's a relationship you have to end, confronting your banker and your numbers or realizing how much of a father you haven't been for your kids.

    There's an opportunity for you to investigate the Truth. The only other option is for you to keep hiding and to keep telling yourself everything is "good".
