When we hear the word “discipline” we think about punishment. In grade school we were disciplined for being kids and getting “out of hand”. In high school and college we were told to be disciplined in our studies to get good grades and graduate with flying colors. And at our jobs we’re told we need to be discipline and follow the bosses directions. And, in this way, discipline was and is a punishment.But the truth about discipline is much more than that. The act of being discipline is much more than following an arbitrary set of rules that our teachers had in school or doing as we’re told in our jobs. No, this type of discipline is control…it’s NOT discipline. And no one can control you but YOU.And THAT is what discipline is all about. It’s about have the self-control to do the things you say you’re going to do. It’s about following through with your word. It’s about being the type of person that goes against the norm of instant gratification and comfort-seeking. Being discipline is about doing what needs to be done to become the person you know you can be. THAT is discipline. And that is what we’ll be covering during this next series.Today we get to hear from a good friend and current Army Lieutenant, Matt Wilson. Lt. Wilson has been the epidemy of discipline over the course of his short 25 years on earth. From having discipline to be the best athlete in high school, to thriving at West Point as a D1 basketball player, to striving to be the best soldier he can be in the American Army, Lt. Wilson continues to persevere. In this episode (Part #3) we talk about:

• How discipline was ingrained in Matt at an early age

• What drives Matt to keep going, in spite of obstacles

• How Matt overcomes the fear of the unknown

• What you can do to attack your challenges like a soldier

• So much more…

It’s easy to buy into the idea that progress should happen quickly. We’re constantly sold the belief that change happens in a few weeks, goals can be achieved by next month, or millions of dollars can be made by the end of the year. While there are certainly outliers that anybody and everybody can point to for support of these beliefs, you must remember that they are called outliers for a reason.The truth of the matter is, progress takes time. And in that time, it’s very likely you’ll have to go through some pain. Now, that doesn’t mean you’ll go through physical pain, per se (although, if you’re talking about exercise, that’s exactly what you’ll go through). For most people, most of the time, it’s the mental pain that we strive to avoid. And it’s that exact pain that we NEED if we’re going to make progress in anything.That’s the truth. Progress needs pain. It needs discomfort. It’s need effort. And it needs time. Progress doesn’t happen overnight. But it does happen…if you allow it to. That’s what we’ll be trying to figure out during this series… what we can do to move away from the belief that progress happens quickly and towards the belief that the effort is where the magic lies.In this episode I talk with Thriveology Fitness Coach, Taylor McGrath. While Taylor is a spry 25 year old, she is, as she likes to say, an old soul in a young body. She’s also made some significant changes in her life, starting at around 19 years old. Which is hard to believe, because we THINK that 19 year olds shouldn’t know any better. But what you’ll find is, at least for this youngster, sometimes we should follow the example of those we don’t expect.In this episode (Part #3) we talk about:

• The 2 events that caused Taylor to re-evaluate her life’s path

• How Taylor went from smoking and partying to Fitness Coach in 5 years

• What drives Taylor to keep making changes in her life

• How Taylor uses PURPOSE to keep her motivated

• So much more…

I probably hear someone once a week say “if only there were 25 hours in a day” or “if only there were more time”. It’s not unusual to think that we could get more done “if only” our time were less limited. Besides the less obvious health issues that would arise from having 25, 35, or even 45 hours in a day, the truth of the matter is, no matter how much time we’re given, we’ll find a way to fill it up. As Parkinson’s Law tells us, our tasks will expand to fulfill the time allotted to their completion. The truth of the matter is, we ALL have 24 hours to work with in a day. Some people use that 24 hours and, over time, become billionaires. Other people use that same 24 hours, seem to work harder, seem to be more diligent, and still end up unhappy and unfulfilled. So, no one is given extra time. No one granted more time so that they can achieve more than you can. What’s more likely, at least from what I’ve found in my personal discovery of my own time management, is that you’re not spending time of the right things. The things that you’re spending time on, instead, are mostly unnecessary distractions or, worse, someone else’s idea of how you should be spending your time. This series will tackle the compelling question of how do some people use their time to achieve greatness, while other people, given the same amount of time and usually putting in more hard work, seem to be spinning their wheels going no where? In this episode I talk with Jon Curl, AKA JonJon. Jon is a radio DJ for the Cincinnati-based station, KISS 107. Over the years of knowing Jon, I’ve noticed that he’s shifted his way of thinking about how he spends his time. He’s become more purposeful in what he says YES to and what he says NO to, ensuring that he’s not overloaded with unnecessary stress which keeps him from prioritizing his family. In this episode (Part #3) we talk about: · Jon’s 15-year journey from radio intern to afternoon prime-time show host· How Jon has shifted his thinking about success over time· The biggest pitfalls of becoming a local celebrity· Why Jon is more purposeful about what he says YES to· What drives Jon to fulfill his purpose in life· So much more… Follow Jon Curl Facebook: https://bit.ly/4086crN Instagram: https://bit.ly/3KWYZq9 iHeart Radio/KISS107: https://kisscincinnati.iheart.com/featured/jonjon-and-friends/ Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio: Thriveology: http://bit.ly/3TILsVR Good Wolf Radio: http://bit.ly/42I0lMf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3K6XGVl Facebook: https://bit.ly/3LKDpGh

One of the basic struggles many of us have when we’re looking to improve our wellbeing is solving the problems along the way. Whether you’re trying to get rid of some body fat and hit a weight loss plateau, are working toward a deadlift personal record and can’t seem to progress your weights, or are looking to run your first marathon but can’t seem run further than 5 miles without being in pain, the likelihood of you running into a problem is VERY high! So it’s important that we learn to overcome problems as they arise and, over time, become more and more confident in our ability to find solutions we need to. The problem is, many of us look for any and all EXTERNAL reasons as to why we’re having trouble overcoming a problem we run into. This is problem because, about 80% of the time, WE are the problem. In other words, when it comes to problem solving, we get in our own way more often than not. And, until you come to understand how your progress is being held up by YOU, you’ll always have a hard time achieving the things you’re after, whether that’s health and fitness mastery, more wealth, better relationships, or a more fulfilling career. That is going to be the main focus of this upcoming series: how we stand in our own way when we’re trying to solve problems and how we can start to move ourselves aside so we can move forward again. Because the longer we stay still, the more likely we’ll end up quitting our endeavor altogether. As Sir Isaac Newton tells us, an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless an equal and opposite force acts upon it. In this episode of Better Problem Solving (part #3) I talk with Bob Schneider. Bob is a Member of the Thriveology Pack, a close friend and mentor, and he owns and operates a residential real estate agency where his daily activity involves moment-to-moment problem. In this episode we discuss… · How Bob goes about fixing tractors…without knowing anything about them· How Bob was thrown to the problem-solving-wolves at an early age· Why most people get STUCK in their pursuit of just about anything· What HARD EFFORT actually looks and feels like· So much more… Follow Bob Schneider Facebook: http://bit.ly/3KPAICA Bob’s Real Estate Investment Company: http://bit.ly/3GwHTwM Be sure to connect with Thriveology and Good Wolf Radio: Thriveology: http://bit.ly/3TILsVR Good Wolf Radio: http://bit.ly/42I0lMf Instagram: https://bit.ly/3K6XGVl Facebook: https://bit.ly/3LKDpGh
