Model Mindset

On today's episode, we sit down with former Division 1 Offensive Lineman for the University of Maryland, Jack Griffin. We talk with Jack about his experience as a Division 1 athlete and the challenges that came the CFB to the NFL tryouts. From being an "athlete student" to playing against the likes of Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Chris Long, amongst others. But Jack is much more than an athlete, he is also a gifted musician and artist and uses these skills to keep his mind in a balanced, productive state. We hope you all enjoy our conversation with the well accomplished, Enfield Hall of Fame inductee, Jack Griffin.

"Living in fear or judgement is not how I will spend my life. Realizing that this life is all I get and your life is all you get, bring a need to make the best of all possible."

After an early jolt into motherhood, Nora found footing in her family, business, and, most importantly, her skin. In our conversation, we discuss the journey from spray tanning from her home to having multiple locations, how she assembled her staff and the lasting relationships with her clients. Her hustle partnered with her joyous personality has created a success story that is truly her own.

Ways we can have more meaningful, deeper conversations:

After stumbling into what would later become her passion, Gabby has taken many steps to develop her life into her ideal image. In doing so, the challenges of imposter and comparison syndrome have tried to alter the vision.

"Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or positively influence the future?

If the answer is yes, do it - take action

If the answer is no, be at peace - let it go

It has been a year on this journey for us and have we learned A LOT. On todays episode, we recap our year and discuss what it takes to hone in and understand your vision. Your vision is your own which makes it both exciting and a very big challenge. There are communication barriers as well as difficulties with the ever changing road your vision may have. It is all a part of the journey and one we wouldn't change for anything.

"If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving a new one"

What is something that you feel like you've "deserved?" Did you earn it? Reflect on something you felt you've deserved and be honest with yourself, did you really earn it? If not, change the way you look at it and put your energy to showing yourself and others that you don't deserve it, you've earned it!

After another amazing visit to Cybulski Reintegration Center, we sit down and recap the amazing time we had with everyone there. Everything from how we felt going back, the preparation, our interactions, and everything in between. We are so grateful for those opportunities to not only sharpen our skills, but to meet some really interesting people along the way. We hope you guys all enjoy it as much as we did!

"Good communication is the bridge between confusion and clarity"

Over time, we have both learned and tried to master the art of communication. We have found incredible successes in our lives by being open and willing to simply communicate with the people around us. Identifying in yourself and others when times of communication are in need is a learned practice, but one that will only benefit you in the long run. So this week, look to have conversations with people. Network. It can and will change your perspective and life.
