  • The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle

    They say "The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle."


    2018 & 2019 I did a hell of a lot of training, and although I didn't know 2020 would be a battle, it was good to be well prepared, especially mentally.

    Two or so years ago I decided to dedicate 2+ hours of both mental and physical training, every day.

    It was more of an experiment based on 'what would my life look like' if I got exceptionally disciplined with mindset rituals.

    Physical training was the easy part because I've always done that.

    Meditation, mindfulness, focus & flow state, stress management, cold showers, detaching from outcomes, visualization, breath work.


    I also spent an immense amount of time learning about how the brain works and how thoughts create emotions which create behaviors which create outcomes.

    I didn't know it, but I was creating an arsenal of tools that I could use in battle.

    Maybe I shouldn't say 2020 was the battle, because it could be so much worse, but at the very least it was a good stress test.

    What I learned is there is no question that spending time training your mind will be to your advantage in both good times and bad.

    If 2020 kicked your ass, now is the time to start training your mind.

    Same thing if it didn't.

  • We are not average unless we choose to be average

    I grew up thinking I would have an average life, meaning I thought I would be just 'getting by'. I thought I would  have a mediocre job, probably in manufacturing since I didn't like school. I thought I would have an average marriage. I thought I would have an average list of things I made happen in my life. I thought I would have an average income.

    Nothing could be further from the truth. I was lucky enough to get a job at the Salt Lake Country Club which changed my paradigm. I saw people who lived life bigger than average, and there is no difference between them, you or I; other than how we see ourselves and what we believe we are capable of. 

    I challenge you to start thinking bigger, and surrounding yourselves with others who think bigger. I am not average, you are not average, unless that is what we choose to be.

  • Let's get comfortable being uncomfortable.

    Welcome to my first Podcast Episode! A year ago I would have never imagined doing a podcast, and that is precisely why I am doing one right now.

    I love to do things that make me uncomfortable. Talking into a microphone instead of a person in front of me makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

    But how much growth comes from being uncomfortable? 

    If you do the same things every day, you have the same feelings, and the same emotions, and then you have the same results.

    If you have the same results, you are essentially living in the past. 

    I am also doing a podcast because I realize it's always hardest in the beginning, and you have to work at anything to get good at it. So by starting a podcast, I'm giving myself something new to start on and get better at, instead of shying away.

    I know how easy it is to quit. One of my mentors told me that the average 'podcaster' quits after 7 episodes. You can be successful in most things if you simply don't quit, because others will fall away, while you get better. 

    Lastly, I have a message to share with you, and I want to play a bigger game WITH you. Let's do it my friends!
