Having a son on the autism spectrum, Brad Dalton has truly embraced the Success Road. Leading from the front, serving as a Chief Encouragement Officer for those starting in the back, and helping those in the middle not just get even but get ahead!

“The journey you're on ain't going to be easy, but in life, what worth having is easy?”

In today's episode, I am chatting with Brad Dalton, Transformation Coach, host of The BEST Self Podcast, and author of DNA of a Winner.

Brad's energy is electric and his level of positivity is off the charts!

Brad Dalton has more than two decades of experience serving others, raising leadership lids, helping others climb onto the positive train and creating the best versions of themselves.

Along his journey, he has learned the lessons of leaning into struggle, soaking up the positives and understanding what the Success Road looks like. Brad has a soft spot in his heart for all individuals starting from the ground up and even more so for those being overlooked because they aren’t deemed “typical."

Although it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the world's problems, even the smallest gestures can create a ripple effect that contributes to a better world both today, and in the future.

And inside of today's episode I want to open your mind to some ideas in which you can begin to adopt this mindset... That the big changes in the world start with just one person helping another person.

Key Points:

• Volunteering at local schools
• Helping your neighbors
• Engaging in acts of kindness and generosity

Volunteering at Local Schools:

Volunteering at local schools is a simple way to make a positive impact. By dedicating a few hours a week, you can help students learn and grow, while also providing support to teachers and staff. This can help you gain a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and also create a positive impact on the children you help.

Helping Your Neighbors:

Another way to make a positive impact is by helping your neighbors. Whether it's shoveling their driveway, mowing their lawn, or simply checking in on them, small acts of kindness can go a long way. This creates a sense of community and belonging, while also fostering empathy and understanding.

Engaging in Acts of Kindness and Generosity:

There are countless ways to make a positive impact in the world through acts of kindness and generosity. Whether it's volunteering at a local shelter, donating to a charity, or simply spreading kindness wherever you go, every little bit counts. By finding a cause or community that you care about and taking action in small ways, you can create a meaningful difference in the world.

One mother's "simple" wish, to take her family hiking would lead to so much more...

"We may never know how the events of today will impact our lives of tomorrow, but isn't that the beautiful thing about life."

Today's episode was made possible in part by the incredible Marjorie Turner Hollman who was featured inside of Episode 133. Marjorie introduced me to today's guest, Lisa Lewis. And the rest is history!

Lisa Louis created HikingAutism.com, a guide for the millions of families like hers with an autistic family member to experience the joy of nature. HikingAutism features more than 170 hikes accompanied by 1,900 stunning nature photos. The outings range from five-mile hikes on Mt. Tam in Marin County to rambles through the streets of San Francisco. The therapeutic power of nature is an undercurrent of Lisa’s weekly Insights blog. Her love of the outdoors stems from a childhood wandering the Adirondack Foothills. Today, she and her family lead other special needs families on hikes in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2015, Jon Kinsler was involved in a near fatal car accident that would leave him face-to-face with his fiercest competition to date - A severe traumatic brain injury.

"Don't give up on you!"

Jonathan "Jon" Kinsler is a survivor, a competitor, and a coach! Even at a young age Jon understood what hard work meant and he knew what was truly important in life. These attributes would be tested in the most fiercest way possible in 2015 when a near death motor vehicle accident would result in a severe traumatic brain injury.

But that is not where Jon's story would end!

Fighting back Jon would lean on the unwavering support of his family while being supported by the incredible staff at Brooks Rehabilitation and Halifax Hospital. Today, Jon is living proof that none of us know what we are capable of until we are faced with tragedy.

I hope you will find the inspiration and encouragement offered through Jon Kinsler's story as a reminder that this life is worth fighting for! Sometimes, you just have to be willing to give it everything you've got!

Fitz Koehler was diagnosed with breast cancer, told she would have to begin chemotherapy, and faced with the real possibility that all she had worked towards could now be over. But quitting was not an option. Surrendering was not her style. And therefor, the only option was to Win the Race of Life!

"None of us can control everything that happens in this life, but what we can control is how we react when it does happen!"

TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Fitz Koehler's background in sports and how she began a successful career as a race announcer.
• What it was like for Fitz to be told that she had breast cancer.
• Fitz's decision to make difficult, yet powerful decisions prior to treatment with the attitude that life is worth living.
• The way in which Fitz's career healed her.
• Learning that pity parties don't work and making the best out of a bad situation is the only way to thrive in life.
• And of course, Fitz's books that serve as a blueprint for making a comeback after cancer.

Fitz Koehler's story is one of strength, resilience, and living life to the fullest. She reminds us to focus on the good, maintain our passions, and make the best out of any situation. Her books serve as valuable resources for anyone looking to make their comeback after cancer. I hope her story inspires you as much as it inspired me.

So often, we get stuck in planning and thinking about things, but never actually taking the first step. And that is why Today, we're going to discuss why taking action is so crucial to our success, our own personal fulfillment, and happiness, and how we can overcome some of the barriers that prevent us from doing so.

And I have one easy to remember thing that is going to tie this altogether just perfectly. And that is to stop doing what we have all been taught. Ready. Aim. Fire.

And instead, start shouting, Ready! Fire! Aim!

Are you fighting for something bigger than yourself? It's a question we should all be asking ourselves. And that's because fighting for a cause gives us purpose and meaning, it empowers us to make a positive impact on the world, and it builds relationships and creates a sense of community that can be felt for generations.

Today's episode was inspired by the guest inside episode 161, Brian Slade, who has dedicated his entire career to fighting for a cause bigger than himself. Originally, this was fighting for his country as a helicopter pilot in the US military, and now it is fighting for people suffering from PTSD through his book, Cleared Hot.

Inside of today's episode, host Kevin Lowe encourages you to think about your own life and what cause you are fighting for. He believes that everyone should be fighting for something bigger than themselves and explains why this is so important. He also provides actionable items that the listener can implement right away to help them find their own cause worth fighting for!
