This week Drew and Aaron sit outside in the sun and talk about investing in yourself! What that looks like. Why it is important. How it has helped them. How it has changed. How it continues to benefit them and has become even more of a priority as of late.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about how you compare to someone else? Ever seen someone doing something and started to imagine how you would do?

For some this comes up more often than others. In this episode we discuss the issues around comparing ourselves to others, areas of your life it may pop up, our personal experiences with comparison, and how we addressed this in our lives. 

We're joined this week by our friend (and Kamiwaza listener) Suzie Leigh.

A veteran working for the federal government, Dale King discovered himself wanting to make a change in his life and in his town. His discovery of a set of Kettlebells led him to teaching classes, starting a gym, developing a non-profit for adaptive athletes, creating a product company that would land a deal on Shark Tank, and now working hands on to help people battling addiction in his town. 

Drew and Aaron spent a day in Portsmouth, OH with Dale working on a project they want to bring to the community. After a few hours of brainstorming, touring Portsmouth, and eating massive ribeye's, they sat down to discuss the amazing journey Dale has been on. We discover how life brought him to these places, what caused him to take action, the support team he has around him, and the importance of fun!

Take some time and listen along as we introduce you to the Patron Saint of Portsmouth!

It's fascinating how we can be so confident in arena, and lack that confidence in another. How we can communicate so well in one section of our lives, yet have difficulty doing so in others. In this episode we take a look at how we communicate and act in three primary areas: at home, at work, and in our own heads. 

We discuss the experiences we have had with this, why this can be an issue, how we can build an awareness of this, and how it can inevitably improve our lives.

Throughout our lives we have many conversations. With friends, family, co-workers, strangers, etc... The question is, how are you entering those conversations? Are you waiting for your turn to talk or are you genuinely listening and making connection?

In this episode we explore conversation and connection, how we can easily slip into judgement or simply wait until our turn to talk, how to build an awareness of that, and specific areas we have seen this in our lives. 

Listen in and let us know your thoughts, and remember, if you find value in this episode, share it with just one friend!

On this podcast, we have discussed the importance of the stories we tell ourselves in how they can change our lives ad shape the future. We have also often discussed many facets of communication with others. In this episode we take a slightly deeper look at the words themselves. How can changing, moving, or removing words shape our identity. We also discuss how internal language effects external language, the importance of metrics and self talk, and even play with a few examples of how we can practice this.

This topic came from our good friend and listener Josh Carasquillo as he was talking to Drew about how he began to become aware that the energy he brought into the home each day effected the his wife and child. We break down how our energy (positive or negative) can effect relationships and atmospheres, how to build an awareness of what type of energy you're carrying at certain times and in certain situations, the difference between "faking it" short term and long term, the importance of communication between you and the people you care about, and how we might be able to positively change our energy in the moment. 

This was a really fun discussion and we look forward to your feedback... so listen in and make sure you BRING THE ENERGY!

In the past week there have been four active shooter events in the US. A work place violence situation at a WalMart in Mississippi, the Garlic Festival shooting in California, a shooting at a WalMart in Texas, and the morning of this recording was a shooting an hour away from our studio at a bar in Dayton, OH. 

Aaron has spent the last decade learning about and teaching on the subject of Active Shooters. In the last four years he has taught seminars across the country, written a book on the topic, and done numerous podcast interviews. He spends a lot of time talking about this topic. 

The following episode is not to give answers or take sides, but more importantly to explore the complexity of talking about this subject. We endeavor to identify issues we have in communication, and try to give insight into how we might have more meaningful conversations to help us begin the journey to truly create some type of positive change. 

We genuinely hope you find value in this conversation and look forward to exploring it with you.
