It's so easy to get wrapped up in near term goals and lose sight of the process.

I was reading an article about the dissonance between a board room and their non profit that provides community service. The board room makes demands for delivering on measurable performance indicators, and the non-profit struggles to believe in that rigidity when their soul purpose is based on intangibles. 

The story goes that they have an uphill battle to climb in demonstrating that real cultural change within a community isn't about a balance sheet but about relationships and inspiring hope. 

It takes time to generate meaningful change. 

This is the lesson I explore and I hope you'll enjoy my take!

Elon Musk once said: "Great companies are built on great products" and that's something I take to heart.

Welcome back! On this episode I wanted to share a discovery that I made about Kickit. In the pursuit of building a great company and great products, I'm always checking back on our products, our branding, our packaging etc... We have so many amazing reviews from customers - over 500 at an average 4.9/5 star rating - BUT! We still have a long way to go and that's something that keeps me motivated and excited for the future!

I wanted to talk about our biggest challenge with you. One that I've been working on solving for years -- and just might finally have the answers to.

Enjoy and thanks for kicking it with me!

What's up guys! On this one, I share a distinction I found recently between having an opportunity-seeking mindset (that's productive) versus having the mindset of anticipating obstacles. I draw from my past experiences as an athlete and an early-stage entrepreneur and also inspiration from the late Kobe Bryant to shed light on the differences that having these two mindsets can have. 

In a world where we are constantly faced with challenges, I've noticed my behavior, recently, shifting to act in anticipation of new challenges versus focusing on new opportunities. This may be a good episode for you if you're noticing similar behavioral changes. Let's stay focused on the opportunities in front of us so we can separate from the competition and grow.

On this episode, I dive into how I'm handling a viral video that captured a lot of attention on TikTok. With over half a million views in two days, there was some positive, but especially some negative attention. I relate this experience to a difficult period of time that I experienced as an athlete and how I came out of that by putting a point on the board!

Find out more about our viral video (on TikTok), and what "putting a point on the board" can do for your mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Hey guys! 

I recently had the opportunity to speak with several CEOs in our "hybrid sport" space and learned SO much. One major takeaway for me was the difference between brands that focus exclusively on digital and those that have focused exclusively on the physical. Tune in to learn what all that means and how we are taking that in stride to help materialize Kickit. 

Thanks for joining and I look forward to seeing you on the next episode!

Let's Kickit!

On this Episode, I share why being told to "be patient" has always rubbed me the wrong way. It's frustrating to hear that because there's nothing you can do with it. My good friend Caleb Welborn gave me an alternative that has broadened my perspective and enabled me to execute in a healthier way. 

Stop telling people to "be patient"! Listen to this episode for a more constructive approach. One that inherently requires patience, but in a way that encourages effort, failure, and perseverance!

If you know someone that needs to hear this, I hope you'll pass it along. 

Thanks for Kicking it with me!
