We've all encountered 'failures' in our lives. But why is it that some people seem to just shrug failures off and others get stuck because of them? How do consistently successful people view failures vs the majority of people who are not consistently successful? Join us for this episode as we take a hard look at how failure is actually a 'part' of the process toward achieving our goals. How failure often is the tuition toward success.

  We're all story tellers.  And the person we tell the most stories to is ourselves.  Its critical that we are intentional and even somewhat guarded in the stories we tell ourselves.  Because, those stories become our self-identity. If you want the life you desire, you've got to change your self-identity.  And the way to do that is by telling yourself the stories that serve you best. 

Why do we so many people 'hate' excellence?  Its an interesting question.  In this episode, we take a fun look at why Tom Brady has become one of the most recognizable lightning rods for other people's hatred of excellence.  HINT:  I don't think people really hate Tom Brady.  Instead, I think his discipline, his lifestyle and his success sometimes forces many of us to realize our own lack-thereof.   

  It's inevitable, we all hurt or offend someone else once in a while.  And, once in a while, we all can get hurt or offended by someone else.  The question then is how do you (or they) apologize for the offense?  There is a real 'art' to a sincere apology.  In this episode, we take a look at the difference between the 'habitual apologizer'  vs the 'sincere apologizer'. 

We all have dreams of what we want our future to look like.  Some of us even have BIG dreams.  But unfortunately, most of us don't ever come close to turning even our best dreams into reality.  We settle for something less.  Why?  Often its because of the 'Dream Killers' in our lives.  Who are they and why do they tend to torpedo our dreams?  Episode 8 helps you identify your 'Dream Killers' and better understand why they do it.

We all get faced with new challenges.  New moments in which we are pushed outside our natural comfort zone.  For many, these moments can be debilitating and hard to handle.  But for some, these are the moments of growth.  These are chances and opportunities to find our yet undiscovered talents.  Join us on this Episode as we interview Tyler Mangum, Director of Advisor Consulting at a leading, national independent financial firm, as he shares his empowering mind set for dealing with, and overcoming, self-doubt and growing through new challenges.

The one thing we are all going to have in common is the loss of loved ones.  Its not easy.  But its a part of this journey called life.  If you've lost a loved one already, or just know that there will be a day when you will, this episode can help.  

Contrary to popular belief, its healthy - maybe even Necessary -  to measure yourself against other people.  This episode tells you how see the accomplishments of others as your own person motivation. 

Finding your purpose.  Discovering why you're here.  Knowing that your life matters and impacts others.  Those are all necessary toward feeling that you're living your best life.  But for many of us, the search for our own purpose can be difficult.  For many, our purpose doesn't seem clear.  As a result, we feel lost, or at least, direction less and we find ourselves just going through the motions of life.  

Join us for this Episode of Liv'n It.  An inspiring interview with David Slomkowski, Executive Director and Founder of Athletes Serving Athletes.  His journey of self discovery and purpose is a story you may find your self coming back to again and again.  We're sure you'll find this Episode to be a perfect kick-start in your own personal journey of purpose.  We hope you enjoy it.  We hope you get something out of it.  And we hope you share it with others.

  All too often we think the world revolves around us.  When we see the world as being 'self-centered', we invite anxiety, disappointment and even anger into our daily routines.  But when you realize that 'It's Not About You', you instantly regain control of your joy and peace.  It's a powerful awareness that can truly change your daily experience of life and your interactions with others.  Start Liv'n It...
