In this podcast episode, I sit down with Patrick Szydlik, a lifelong entrepreneur and real estate marketing expert. Patrick shares his journey, from being the CEO of Film 360, a media company he successfully sold in 2021, to his instrumental role in marketing and selling over $5 billion in real estate.

We go deep into Patrick's inspiring story of overcoming homelessness and explore his fearless approach to risk-taking in the relentless pursuit of his dreams. Funny story, I’ve been his neighbor and friend for several years and never knew this story until recently. Crazy how beautiful the world is and how unaware we can be of someone else’s life story until we sit down and really ask the deeper questions. And the greatest reminder I was given through this conversation was to be kind through yourself because it’s your mind and your body that you get to call home for your entire life.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Patrick Szydlik on entrepreneurship, real estate, and the resilience that fuels his extraordinary journey.

In this solo episode, I talk about my recent visit to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to visit my coach and how I caught myself several times in a comparison trap among so many beautiful female models and influencers and how important it is to remember you are never going to be “them,” nor they you.

To get out of comparison traps, start by cultivating self-awareness. Recognize when you're comparing yourself to others and understand the negative impact it can have on your well-being. Shift your focus inward, emphasizing your unique qualities and strengths. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and set realistic, personalized goals.

Instead of comparing, seek inspiration from others. Learn from their experiences without using them as a standard or level you must reach. Cultivate self-compassion by treating yourself with kindness and acknowledging that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Practice mindfulness to become aware of negative thoughts and emotions associated with comparison. Redirect your focus positively and surround yourself with supportive, uplifting individuals. Most importantly, prioritize personal growth over external validation, emphasizing continuous improvement aligned with your own aspirations rather than external benchmarks.

The phrase "I am" carries profound significance in various spiritual and philosophical contexts. It reflects a sense of existence and self-awareness, often associated with divine or transcendent aspects. The act of saying "I am" implies a recognition of one's own being, a connection to the essence of existence.

The attachment to the perception we create and the reality we shape stems from the power of our thoughts and beliefs. Our minds play a crucial role in constructing our understanding of the world and ourselves. When we attach ourselves to a certain perception, it influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions, shaping our reality.

In spiritual teachings, there's a notion that our self-perception and beliefs influence our experience of reality. If we identify with limiting beliefs or negative self-perceptions, it can create a reality that aligns with those thoughts. Conversely, cultivating positive and empowering beliefs can shape a more constructive reality.

The divine expression of "I am" encourages self-awareness beyond the ego and the transient aspects of life, tapping into a deeper, eternal consciousness. By understanding and consciously shaping our perceptions, we can influence the reality we experience and align it with a more authentic and fulfilling expression of "I am."

I get to sit down and talk deep in my feels about relationships, body image dysmorphia, anxiety, attachment behaviors, and learn how to break relationship patterns with Morgan Hannaleck.

Morgan is a mental health speaker, therapist, author, Poet, and survivor. She shares her story battling and overcoming a severe eating disorder that caused her to severe anxiety and toxic relationship patterns. Morgan became an advocate for mental health,  sharing her story with kids in schools and publicly in the community to bring light to a tragic situation and remind others that they are not alone and can get out of their destructive behaviors by working on themselves and with secure attachments.

We discuss our past relationship traumas and how we’ve been able to break past those traumas into a healthier, happier, more secure state of knowing who we are at our core and the security of our confidence built by doing the work on ourselves and in our relationships with others.

Be sure to reach out to Morgan on social media @morganhannaleck and grab her new poetry book to be released at the start of 2024!

In the second half of this two-part interview episode, I spoke with my strength coach and dear friend, Bret Contreras, from a much more intimate perspective on what it's like being "The Glute Guy" as one of the best strength coaches of all time. Bret is a prominent figure in glute training. He invented the barbell hip thrust, among several other innovative exercises, drawing inspiration from his competitive nature and sibling rivalry with his twin brother. Fueled by a high school experience marked by bullying, Bret developed a passion for strength training, using it as a means of personal empowerment.

Bret’s commitment to building strength as a response to bullying evolved into a broader advocacy against modern-day bullies. As a leader in the fitness industry, he has continued to showcase his efforts through scientific research with over 50 peer-reviewed studies. His impact on the fitness community extends beyond the gym, as evidenced by his time spent writing for T Nation. In the age of social media, he further expanded his influence, using platforms like Instagram and YouTube to share his expertise globally.

Stay tuned for the second part of this interview, as we get much more personal with Bret and the sides to him that I get to experience on a deeper level, as a close friend and part of the Glute Squad. 

You can find Bret online through his website www.bretcontreras.com and on social media @bretcontreras1 to learn more about his online training programs, published research studies, and innovate strength equipment.

In this solo episode, I explain ways to stay motivated during the holidays by setting SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Incorporate meditation for mindfulness, journaling to track progress and reflect, and positive self-talk to maintain a constructive mindset. Create vision boards to visualize aspirations, fostering a sense of purpose. Regularly practice gratitude to cultivate positivity, reinforcing motivation and goal-setting throughout the festive season.

Setting goals involves a thoughtful process to provide direction and purpose. Consider any constraints or challenges and prioritize self-care goals and develop a schedule outlining when and how you'll work toward your objectives, ensuring a balanced and purposeful approach.

I had the privilege of being able to speak at the Limitless leadership summit in honor of my new friend, Tracy Otto, which was hosted by Business with Bliss. I was able to speak amongst several other inspiring entrepreneurs, as well as my mentor, Bret Contreras.

I gave a speech on how our perception is our reality and that we are responsible for how we create and live a life true to ourselves. Your perception acts as a lens through which you experience reality, shaping your understanding of the world. Engaging in inner work allows you to redefine the themes of consciousness, breaking patterns that might keep you in states of ego (force) and guiding you towards states of unconditional love (power). This transformation empowers you to navigate life with a renewed perspective and purpose.

Becoming limitless involves transcending personal boundaries and embracing continuous growth. As a limitless individual, you develop resilience and adaptability, enabling you to effectively navigate and overcome adversities. By embodying these qualities, you set a positive example as a leader, inspiring others to face challenges with courage and creativity. Your ability to thrive in the face of adversity contributes to a culture of resilience, fostering a community that values progress and positive transformation.

I pray this type of motivational speaking because the first of many in my future and I am so grateful for each of you who have taken the time to tune in and truly listen to my story.
