Motivation in a MINI

Episode 23 on March 23...... That's kinda awesome. It's the Michael Jordon episode and we are motivating with some tough Love. There is a time and place for everything under the stars, but we start our Monday with moving on from any pity party we may have been throwing for ourselves. It's reality that when it's all said and done you need to be able to stand on your own two feet. Let's get going on our commute and discuss ownership and dispelling any victim mentality we may be harboring. I love you'll. Mondays going to be awesome because we are going to Work Hard and Be Nice.

I'm stressed. Are you stressed? So what do we do now? Let's discuss how to discover our calm. In times of change that's instant stress on us and our normal mechanisms to relax are not there. We've gotta be adaptable as well to find ways to be calm and diminish our stress. And talk about getting out of our comfort zone, we are utilizing a lot of different personal skills to get thru this damn pandemic. Time to WORK HARD & BE NICE. And end this tough week on a high note.

(side note: I tried a different mic, not a fan. I'll fix that going forward. thanks everyone 😊.)

We all have fears, rational and irrational alike. Let's open up to the why behind it to understand and maybe change the course we allow fear to take us down. Along with fear comes the moments it can be robbing from our present. Past anxiety and stress of the future steal from the joy of the present. Getting philosophical in the Mini today you'll. But some great advice I want to end with and start beating into everyone.... Let's Work Hard & Be Nice. It's too simple not to do it. Love you all.

This podcast is dedicated to Esra! I had the great honor of welcoming someone into my home who forever changed me and my family. Thank you Esra. It was our pleasure to try and give you the best experience traveling abroad and living with an "American" family. We love you. We miss you. And you will always have a place in our home and our heart. From now until forever, you will be our German daughter. This experience taught me something and I'd like to share that with you all. People like Esra can inspire and motivate us all. Esra, today I will be awesome intentionally. Thank you so much! Love, your American Dad. 😁

Communication is important all the time but will become exposed quickly in a crisis. Good habits commence with the decision to start working on them. Communication is fundamental in every organizations success. So let's hop in the mini to chat about sharpening this soft skillet. And maybe we will splash in some side chat on optimism. You all know I'm good for side bars. Let's be awesome with intention.

I've never been so distracted before creating my podcast. But tough times don't last, tough pe just checkingople do. In moments like these are resiliency is tested. How we respond speaks to our character and shines a bright spotlight on our true self. So let's get it! Let's show our tribe what we are all about. Everyone whose unsure will be looking for someone to follow and mirror, is that individual going to be you? Let's have an awesome week with intention while we navigate these rough waters.

Get your EGO in check. Confidence is fantastic. Experience, success, achievement, promotions, and titles can twist confidence into hubris. And guess what, now you have an ego problem. No worries though. I had an ego problem and recovered. It's actually easier to fix then you think. The problem is truly identifying your ego problem. Let's talk Corona one more time while we tackle our ego issues. Time to have an awesome Friday the 13th intentionally.

What do Corona, stocks, and transition have in common? More then you think. Fear is the mind killer. When we stay calm and don't panic is when we can make the best rational choices for ourselves and others. Smart choices made during stressful times can produce the greatest ROI. Easier said then done at times but that's why you are here. To become stronger and fitter mentally. And you're not alone. I'm in the fight with you. Let's go get some resiliency and mental fortitude to conquer this day. Love you'll. Have an awesome day with intention.

Fantastic episode on who and what we are about. And it's very simple for me. Do I want to be the kind of person that left this place better than how I found out. Do I want to give more than I got when it's all said and done. The answer to both is an emphatic YES! Let's go out and achieve the impact we know we can have on this world. I love you'll truly. Have a great Wednesday intentionally.

Catching up with ol buddies from my first ship, the USS Harry S Truman CVN-75. They were and are still awesome individuals that inspired this podcast for sure. The moment to take action is right now. The moment to change course in your life is right now. The moment to make a situation right or fix a wrong, is right now. I love you'll very much and never want regret to keep you company in your final moments of this awesome journey. Have a great Tuesday with intention.
