Model Mindset

"Social media is not bad. How people choose to use social media is bad." - Mel Robbins

On todays episode, we sit down and talk about the most polarizing thing in our world today, social media. Social media has a tendency to dictate our moods, decision making, and personalities. It knows what we like and what we don't and is designed to use that information to give us more or less of those topics. So how do we use it? Do we use it to enhance our moods and personalities? Or do we fall into the trap of social media and use it for comparisons, jealousy, and judgement? What we don't understand is that choice is ours. We can design how we consume social media. So ask yourself this, are you using social media the right way or the wrong way?

This is the very first episode of our abbreviated episode of the Model Mindset Podcast, entitled, Model Mindset Monday. These episodes are designed to give you a quick hit and get you ready and motivated to attack the week rather than dread it. Don't fear Monday, dominate it!

On todays episode, we sit down with Pete Beebe and Dave Grimson who are the founders of Rejuvenate Real Estate. Dave and Pete are two guys who know exactly what it takes to put in the work to get the results. We dive into the world of starting your own business and the triumphs and tribulations that go with that. Being in a business that is so fast paced and market dependent, Dave and Pete have developed a partnership with great balance that has translated into an even better brotherhood outside of the business. We had a great time sitting down with these guys, and can't wait to see what is next for them.

In a unique episode of the Model Mindset, BG and John sit down and instead of talking about facts and steps, we have our very own Q&A. What about? Regrets. Everyone has them. Sometimes they are embarrassing, sometimes they taught us a lesson, and others, we just don't speak of. Bottom line is, everyone has regrets. But how do we chose to use them as we grow as people? Regrets are personal and often make us reflect negatively on our past, but it is a decision you have to make to take those reflections and use them to teach you lessons you will carry with you into the future and use as a positive. The one regret you don't want to have today is missing this episode!

We all would likely categorize our lives as happy but what does that truly mean? What goes into the day to day that makes our lives happy? If we were to really think about our days would we then be able to point out moments of true happiness or would it be clouded by stress and anxiety? These are all questions we should reflect on to make our lives are what we think they are. Happiness is a journey. It takes work and discipline to discover and achieve. In order to achieve it you must possess certain habits and rituals. So lets dive in and determine what we need in our own lives to be happy.

We don't have many regrets in our lives, except for one. We wish we started this journey a long time ago. So when we had the chance to sit down with Nate who is a 22 year old, wise beyond his years, we couldn't pass it up. Nate graduated from Marist University where he was a D-1 athlete starring as the libero on the Men’s Volleyball team. Nate trained for his first amateur bodybuilding show where he placed third overall in the men’s open show. This is where Nate transformed his mindset and saw that with discipline and the right support system, he can accomplish anything. Join us in our fun but more importantly, extremely motivating conversation with Nate Grivers!

Developing a Growth Mindset is not easy, but the thrill of the journey is what makes it all worth it. On todays episode, we talk about the ways that we ourselves changed our mindsets. Some things came naturally, and some we work on daily, but the main focus is always about making ourselves and the people around us better. Remember, you hold the pen. You write your story. You are the creator of your life. So start today by developing the mindset that can unlock all of who you want to be. Mindset is everything. 

This week we are privileged enough to sit down with singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Jordan Meyer. Jordan is a true example of someone who has had many roadblocks but never let them stop him from realizing his truest potential. With millions of streams across all platforms, Jordan has made impacts on countless individuals with his deeply personal style of music. We touch on his introduction into music, his troubles with alcohol and mental health, his road to sobriety, and what he sees his purpose as now.

The average human life expectancy is 78 years. The average retirement age is 67. This means that we only spend 11 years enjoying our adult lives and spend the other 51 years working. Do you think you have the correct balance in those 51 years to maintain healthy relationships, have important experiences, and take care of yourself in the right ways? We talk about the important steps to remember and implement in your work life to ensure life outside of work isn't slipping away without you noticing. This way we spend our entire adult lives, living life to the fullest.

This week we are joined by Gaby Schwager! Gaby is an entrepreneur and the founder/CEO of Stars Marketing, which a talent agency for both social media influencers as well as reality tv stars such as cast members from Below Deck on Bravo and Big Brother on CBS. Gaby has been an incredible source for us in our journey and is always gracious with her time and advice. This week we dive into some fun conversations about social media, being a working mom and a woman of business, and how to properly make a tutorial on a certain hot beverage. We hope you enjoy this incredibly fun conversation, with Gaby Schwager.
