Today I take you on a walk through the woods of Connecticut and discuss the need for high performing business leaders to leave the day to day behind and reconnect with their inner divinity.  As someone who passed up the big city for the suburbs I get many will say the hustle and bustle is key to survival. I promise the decision I made can also help you even if it is an intermittent dosing.  For the entrepreneurs and vetrepreneurs out there, when you feel the lack of tribe or issues at home try what I do today. I would appreciate your feedback on iTunes for this episode as it was close to my heart.  As always feel free to reach me at @coachmikedemo on Facebook and @coach_mike_demo on Instagram.

Today in Intentional Disruption we tackle the impact that agenda based news and information outlets are having on your psyche.  I invite you to have an open mind as we see how the negative energy broadcast by the media outlets is harming your business, marriage and parenting abilities.  It has impacted me before and it hurt my first marriage with certainty. Learning from this is a part of having a growth mindset. I hope you can gain insight and clarity from the examples within the episode.    I would love to hear from you @coachmikedemo on FB and @coach_mike_demo on IG.    If you would like to help grow the podcast it would be an honor to have you refer me to a friend.

Today is a somber episode that dives deep into the darker parts of the human experience. The hashtag #22aday comes from the military world but it applies to each of your daily lives.    Today I discuss signs of distress and discuss some of my real world experiences with suicide. I discuss topics that @derick_carver brought to light on IG recently as well as my experience with the Veterans Administration.    You will hear some background noise i this episode as I recorded it right after a veteran killed himself at a VA hospital. My apologies for the quality.    As always if you are looking for someone to help you in your marriage, business or just want to level up feel free to reach out.    You can reach me @coachmikedemo on FB and @coach_mike_demo on IG

Happy Hump Day to those who need to make the move to pursue their passion! Today's episode we will discuss a feeling or emotion that has played a major role in my early life.  Shame and guilt are the claws that pull you back from success like crabs do to each other in the fisherman's trap.  Just like those crabs, falling back into the pit that is the only destiny when you live inside of shame and guilt.    I hope this episode finds you well and as always please let me know if this message resonates with you. I have enjoyed being able to connect with listeners and talking about their tools for success as well as the obstacles they face in their business, family and social lives.    If you found value in this content please rate and review so we can get this message to more great people like yourself.

Today we discuss the difference between feeling busy and getting things done. To often as an entrepreneur we have a focus on the urgent and potentially non-important activities we "need to do"  In order to fully achieve success we need to focus on the important actions that will drive business and relationships forward.  At the end I will give ideas and examples based on my life. If you implement these activities for 90 days you will see a massive shift.  As always feel free to reach out with questions and rate, review and subscribe if you find value in this podcast.

Today we discuss a common sales issue. How do you bring relevant value to the marketplace while ensuring you hit your activity targets?   It is an issue faced by millions in corporate sales jobs where quantity is valued over quantity. The marketplace has changed ans simply smiling and dialing is no longer a viable option.    To succeed you need to bring additional value to the marketplace.
