In this final episode of season one, I decide to take thirty days away from social media. Listen to how much time we spend on our phones using social media. It will knock you around in your seat when you calculate your own phone use using the statistics on your phone!

We will be back with season two of the podcast with many new guests including Naval Academy student Ryan Chapman, Howies, Old Crow, State Room, and Big Al's owner Ryan Johnson, Justin Spaulding is 27 years old and has $25,000,000 assets under management, Audra Grace whom has had one on one experiences with Tony Robbins (author, philanthropist, life coach, and entrepreneur), and many more! Thank you for all the support!

Ethan Phelps joins us on the podcast this week! In this episode we talk about failure (which has been a common theme the past few weeks), why we have a podcast, the word self-made and its misuse in society, and why taking risks at our age is vital! After recording this episode Nate and I looked at each other and said, "WOW we were so energetic, crazy loud, and passionate about that conversation".

Enjoy this weeks episode and as always, THANK YOU!

In this episode Nate and I talk about failure and how we welcome it with open arms. Failure in our eyes = learning and individual growth. Take a look around society and the people who are deemed successful have failed more times than they can count. It's the lessons learned along the way that are attributed to the success. The more we fail, the more we learn, and in turn the more we succeed. This is what we believe and it might be the wrong perspective, but not to us!

Welcome UWL Head Football Coach Mike Schmidt. This is someone who prides himself on creating and serving other people. Listen as we take a back seat and listen to him talk about what he has done to change the culture and image of UWL Football. This goes beyond football as the idea of "team" revolves around all different aspects of life, but more importantly all different kinds of jobs.

In this episode we meet with Dom Antony who lost his dad in November of 2018. Loss is something that we all deal with but when our parents pass while we are in our twenties, this can be especially hard. There is a tremendous amount of value in this conversation that we can all benefit from, because we never know when someone will be gone. Cherish the time we have, because life is indeed short.
