JRP DAILY

A few weeks ago we interviewed our friend Jacob Spencer, who now serves in the U.S. Army. 

It was fun learning about the tanks that he works on and operates, and some of the other fun and crazy stuff that he has done in the Army. 

I think we both learned that the Army isn't always as tightly wound and strict as it's portrayed as... it sounds like the dudes have a lot of fun. 

So here is a full takeaway episode from our time with Jake!!

I'm changing it up a little bit today. 

Normally I'm trying to help get you into the champion's mindset. I'm usually trying to give you tips and tricks to help you succeed in life. 

Today I'm going to flip that around. 

I'm going to give you a look into the other side of life that we all inevitably face at one point or another.

Hopefully, it'll clear something up for you, and also help you understand why it is worth it to aim higher. 

We are all better than our lowest point. 

Remember that.

Listen up. 

A lot of us tend to have a lot of stress going on in our lives. 

Work, school, relationships... whatever it might be. 

Stress has the ability to tear some people's lives down. 

Stress is often combatted with alcohol, drugs, and some other seriously not good methods of dealing with it. 

So here's what I want to tell you. 

You've got a lot going for you. 

If you let stress get in the way of that, you will regret it. 

I want to give everyone this reminder, before it's too late for you.

I don't say this to scare you or worry you... but to help you.

This week we got to sit down with an old acquaintance from high school, who didn't necessarily take any of the "traditional" paths to where he is now.

With a dream of becoming an actor, Billy was always told that acting school "wasn't a real thing" but then once he found out for himself that it was, he went behind what everyone else was telling him, applied, and got accepted to the acting school he wanted.

After going through some bumps along the road, he is now out with an Associate's degree, and piecing together his career with what he has learned. He has also had a few trips to NYC and LA where he gained a lot of life experience.

Lately I've had to go back and ask myself a few times... Why is it that I still do this podcast? 

I mean, no one is listening, honestly. 

I've destroyed incredibly important parts of my life because of it. 

Why is it still going? 

Well there are a handful of reasons. 

But the main reasons, are the opportunities I have been provided through the podcast, that I seriously would have never thought possible.

The people I've met. 

The skills I've acquired. 

The advice I've gotten. 

All of those are the reasons that I keep going, and the reason that I encourage you to pursue whatever your dream is too.

For this one, the description is in the title. 

Some people will tell you that people can change, and some will tell you that people never do. It's actually pretty situational. 

Here's my spin. They don't. 

But they do learn, grow, and evolve as people. 

You don't have to CHANGE for yourself or anyone else, but it is almost always necessary to grow as a person. 

I've been doing a lot of growing over the past couple of years, and I've still got a LOOONG way to go... and I know it. 

I just hope that someone else is with me on this journey.

By now you probably now that just about anything you do without moderation can turn into a bad thing. That also goes for being a nice person. 

Listen, I'm all about giving compliments to strangers, helping your friends, and the whole nine yards, but there's a catch to all of that. 

If you are nice too often, your "nice-ness" really starts to lose its value... and pretty soon there are no kind words left to go around, even though they are going around all the time. 

Does that make sense? Maybe it makes more sense in the audio..

Being busy does not excuse you from being lazy. 

I see so many people leading busy busy lives. 

It seems like nobody has a free hour in the day anymore, but we still all find ourselves in drastically different situations physically, mentally, and financially? 

So what's the difference between your busy and my busy?

The college debate is hotter than ever. 

Should you go, or should you not? 

We'll discuss that some other time. 

Here's the part that nobody else is talking about. 

The COLLEGE DEBATE actually has VERY LITTLE to do with EDUCATION. 

In other words, people that are "anti-college" can also be "pro-education" 

The bigger part of the debate is really the methods you use in order to obtain that education. Also the quality of education, and how you actually define education. 

Being educated is a good thing, but in today's world, you don't have to go to college to learn. 

That's the point.
