No matter how many times you fall, You've gotta keep getting back up!

Rich LaMonica is a 22-year veteran of the United States Army who was deployed on multiple occasions in support of the Global War on Terrorism.

He retired in 2015 and went through an entire year of self-reflection as he transitioned to civilian life again. Those 365 days from retiring to finding a job taught Rich valuable lessons about transition. This has ultimately powered his drive to help other veterans as they go through their own transition and any other roadblocks they are hitting.

Do you ever find yourself battling perfectionism?

Like for instance, you can’t dare move forward until this one thing is absolutely perfect! Which then ultimately means that progress stalls and a whole other boatload of stress and overwhelm comes crashing down on you!

What about when you were in school?

Were you one of the kids there to do your job of learning, studying hard, listening to your teacher, and ultimately earning good grades?

Or were you more the other side of the spectrum where school was merely a social playground and schoolwork was just what you were forced to do while trying to have fun?

The Realization About Life!

Why stress yourself out about being the perfect, A+ parent, friend, employee, etc. when a B+ will do just fine!?!

This gentle mindset shift is what today's episode is ALL about! So, throw perfectionism out the door, let your hair down, and let's dive in! And besides, B's just have more FUN!

A heartfelt conversation had with a beautiful woman about striving to understand all that she is capable of.

Sheila Morgan excelled in a career working at a sawmill where it was the interaction with her colleagues that fueled her spirit. But this same fuel is what would ultimately lead to her realization that this is not what she wanted to do. She wanted to work on building people up, bring them to a higher level of themselves, never knocking them down.

Sheila wanted to help people to show up for themselves, show them that they are capable of all that they can imagine, to remind them to wake up and show up for the world each and everyday!

If you have ever felt like you weren’t living up to your fullest potential or perhaps that is you right now, then I encourage you to truly dive into today’s episode.

It might be time for you to stop viewing your past challenges and trauma as wounds, and instead start to view them as battle scars that signal what you are capable of. Because I'm here to suggest that quite possibly, these scars ar in fact the fuel that is going to propel you forward.

You deserve to live a life full of opportunities, a life full of hopes and dreams, a life that pulls on your heart and utalizes your passions. This life isn't happening to you, it's happening for you!

So, let us take a look back at the hard stuff, the hard times, the moments in life that we wish never happened. Let's find the strength to go back to that dark place and discover the light that has been hidden away in the darkness! It is time for you to shine!

Anthony Arismendi "Tony" is a former FBI agent with a highly decorated and distinguished career spanning two decades of undercover and special operations against drug cartels, gangs, organized crime, violent criminals, and terrorist organizations.

In his new book, “Outsider Agent” he tells the story of how he moved to the United States from the dangerous streets of Caracas, Venezuela as a teenager in the mid-seventies, with the dream of becoming a US citizen and an FBI agent—adapting his survival skills to a new culture, one harrowing day at a time, overcoming homelessness, prejudice, and poverty to achieve the impossible. Profoundly inspirational, Arismendi’s unique blend of hard work, perseverance, and mysticism in the face of relentless adversity reminds us that our reservoirs of courage and determination run far deeper than we know—and that we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how out of reach they might seem.

"I believe the next Elon Musk is a 7 year old girl who can't afford a communication coach, so it's my duty to help her succeed with my free resources." - Brenden K.

After many years of doing presentation case competitions (think professional sports for nerds) in university, Brenden Kumarasamy accidentally developed a skill in helping others communicate effectively and started the YouTube channel, MasterTalk.

Brenden realized everything he was teaching them wasn't available for FREE on the Internet, so he sought out to change that.

Brenden explains that he heard a ton of advice that didn't make much sense like "be yourself" or "get up on stage and imagine everyone in their underpants".

So, Brenden pressed record on his phone, started filming videos on communication in his mom's basement and now the goal is to help everyone master this important skill.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARNAn Overview into the Episode

• Developing good communication skills is about so much more than just helping you give a good presentation.
• Learn secrets to coming across better on Zoom.
• Discover who should, and who should not incorporate humor into their talks
• How to communicate better when you can't see
