Here's the Thing with Dave and Alex

Charles Dickens once said “The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose”. In this moment Dave walks through the importance of assigning purpose to all tasks, activities and endeavors - not simply checking a box.

This was a year like no other but if we learn nothing it would all be for naught. As we look to turn the page to the year ahead it’s perfect timing for resolutions. In this episode we will reflect on what went well and what could have gone better, as well as consider what we throw in the bonfire and what we hope rises from the ashes.

Emotional Intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success. The ability to relate and empathize with others will serve you well towards effectively navigating life’s journey. In this moment Dave shares his perspective on Emotional Intelligence and ways in which you can enhance yours. Enjoy!

In this moment Alex shares his thoughts on Equanimity - mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation. Something to T.H.I.N.K. about.

In this moment, Alex ponders the question “What would you attempt if you knew you couldn’t fail?”. He explores the power of getting your repetitions in. And inadvertently hints at a shout out to DJ Khaled. : )

Is it ironic that it takes us 45 mins to explain an Elevator Pitch? Well, if you’re looking to hone your own pitch and effectively communicate your personal brand then this 45 mins is what you’re looking for. We will discuss the purpose, framework and best practices around effective Elevator Pitches.

For our 10th episode, we dive into the Soundtrack of our Live. After listening to, exploring and judging this episode (we fully expect and welcome the judging... : ), we invite you to create your Top 10 list of songs that most reflect your life’s journey. Hoping you find the process as memorable, exhausting and reflective as we did. Enjoy!

Here’s the thing … every one of us needs a “Hype Person”.

You know, a champion, an advocate... your biggest supporter.

In many cases, the most effective hype person is staring back at you from the mirror. After all, nobody knows You better than You. In this moment, Dave talks about the value and framework of a well crafted elevator pitch.

Have you ever experienced a moment described as the “zone” or a “runner’s high”… those moments that seem to be a level higher than autopilot? Have you ever experienced moments of peak performance, when it seemed to really count? What if you could build an experience of higher levels of personal performance…like that of an Olympian or Masterclass Speaker? During this episode, Alex will guide Dave on a journey into “flow state.” Join us to see how this might resonate with you.

Everyone should have a “happy place”. A mental space that brings them joy. A place they can access the would allow the opportunity to recalibrate in times of pressure, stress or tension. Dave talks about this concept in the moment and explains the relevance of the hair band he always wears on his wrist.
