InkleDeux Podcast

Brandon kicks things off with a state of the union address that launches us into a conversation about productivity, leisure, and the danger of living your life through a screen during quarantine.

We finish our thoughts on overcoming fear in this episode of Arise And Go. Regardless of whether or not it is positive or negative, Vision is the only way to overcome fear. We must take the time to get very clear on our vision, as that is the source of courage, which is the energy needed to take the first step. Taking the first step is how you build up micro-victories. Micro-victories builds confidence, which kills fear.

I hope this has provided you some value. If so, please share this on your social media. We can be found on all of them at @inkledeux.

The follow up to our last AAG podcast. This is continues on the topic of fear. We talked about what fear was last time. This time we dig into how to overcome it. There is no easy solution, no trick, or hack to overcome fear. It is a lot of small steps and hard work. You have it inside of you to do it. So, take your first step and arise and go.

This week, AJ and Brandon continue their discussion about communicating love, especially to children. This time, the focus is on the importance of emphasizing the positive and encouraging others. Our words mean something, and especially to children who are so quick to internalize what trusted adults say about them.
