In advance, I apologize for the constant shaking of the camera in the video version of this podcast. I tend to speak with my hands quite often and to get my point across, I kept hitting the table.

In this podcast I go on a rant/discussion about finishing the Live Hard program over the last year, I talk about the loneliness epidemic we're facing across the globe right now, and I even mention a neat study about chimpanzees.

Make sure you give it a listen and share the message with your friends, family members, and like minded people you interact with on a daily basis.

Feels great to put out another podcast and I hope to be doing these more often as so much as my time allows it. Thank you all for the continued support!

This week's episode was a different twist.

I was sitting out in nature during my walk and having a conversation with myself out loud about where I'm at in life at this current moment.

After I began to talk, I felt deeply moved by the insight, reflection, and analysis I was having. I thought it would be a good idea to tap the record button on my phone.

I will look back at this moment in the future as if it were a time capsule and I'll think, "what was this dufus talking about back in 2022"?

Listen, life is hard. Everyone is struggling with something right now, I can almost guarantee that. We are constantly reminded on the news that everything is imploding.

If you live in America right now, we're dealing with a President who is incapable of making the right decisions for our country. It seems like a lot of people have a bleak outlook on life right now.

I'm here to tell you that every tough season, situation, feelings, anxiety, whatever it is always eventually passes. We must control our daily actions to feel like we have any control over our lives.

I hope this message resonates with you, encourages you, or gives you a new perspective to consider.

Thank you.

Hey there guys!

I'm finally back with a podcast where I have an actual guest!

My guest is my client, Heather Sage!

We met back in April when I became a personal trainer at Norwalk Anytime Fitness.

She just recently completed 75 Hard and joined the podcast to discuss her results, insights, and personal development.

This is the longest podcast I've ever done, but I enjoyed it so much.

Heather is a great person, client, friend, and mother. She's always willing to challenge herself and continues to see really amazing progress in the gym and in life.

What is even more impressive is the fact that she is a single mother to three daughters and still found a way to complete 75 Hard.

I'm so proud of her as I've literally seen her grow so much in the course of the these last 5 and a half months. It's make me thrilled to see where she goes from here! 

Enjoy this 2 hour conversation, it's packed with great content worth consuming!

It's been awhile since I made an actual video/podcast! 

That changes this week!

For the entire month of August I wanted to place a challenge on myself and see if I could pull through.

The challenge was to do 1,000 push ups and stretch everyday for 10 to 15 minutes.

In this video I go over 5 key benefits I experienced as a result of doing the challenge.

The results surprised me and are likely to do the same for you guys.

Thanks for the continued support and I'll see y'all on the next video!

In this week's chat I speak on the idea of Input = Output. Essentially what you put into the universe is what you will ultimately receive.

I've experienced this reality many times over in the last year and a half. In this video I go over at least three different examples where my effort eventually payed off.

I think this is such an underrated topic that more people should talking about and applying to their lives.

Welcome back to another episode of Nurture the Mind.

This week I talk about leadership and how we all are in a position to lead other people, we just don't know it.

Since I started working my new job a few months ago and even last year when I was still at my old job, I started to see that I had an impact on people.

I was able to influence people in a way that I had never realized before.

It is now at the centerfold in my life and in front of my face every day at work, being that a personal trainer's job is to motivate and hold clients accountable.

Along with that, a good leader is someone who never thinks they have all the answers. 

They encourage other's from a genuine place inside themselves.

They ask questions to understand.

They lead by example.

People take me seriously because they see that I care, I take care of myself, my words and and my suggestions hold weight because I'm not just talking about it, I'm living and embodying it at the same time.

We all have tremendous impact and influence on other people, we just need to realize it.

This world could change rapidly fast if we knew we were leading other people even when it feels like we're being silent.

In this episode/podcast I talk about a podcast I listened to last week off of the Real AF podcast by Andy Frisella.

In that episode Andy had a message for men specifically.

The message essentially was....BE BETTER.

Stand up for what is right.

Choose the path of most resistance.

Let your voice be heard.

Tell the truth.

Be courageous.

Don't let this country go down in flames to the tyrants who are making it miserable for everyone else.

Improve yourself.

Personal excellence is the goal.

And I felt that.

So much so that I'm relaying that message to anyone who comes across this video or podcast.

You can accomplish so much in your life in just one calendar year.

It is your duty to lead by example and set the precedence for everyone who is watching you. 

Stop being mediocre.

I pride myself on always committing to improve. To always look for ways to get better. That's what I'm proposing in this video. Do the hard work and the results will come down the pipe. You have to be willing to make sacrifices right now. That's where I'm at and I hope you can come join me and this movement. There has never been a more important time in America to stand up. This is your purpose.

We've all had those moments where we hold back from letting ourselves fully feel an emotion, or a feeling, or we let our thoughts dictate how our reality is shaped.

I think this is the most frustrating part about mental health, which is no matter how far each one of us has come in our journey, there always seems to be setbacks, challenges, and difficulties that send our mind back to what feels like our original starting point.

This can be very discouraging, considering the fact that all of us reach plateaus in our mental health, our personal goals, relationships, finances, health, growth, spirituality, etc.

This video/podcast is an attempt to whisper to all of you who are experiencing this right now, because it's exactly how I feel and it frustrates the absolute fuck out of me.

But we can get better. We can try harder. We can overcome our issues. Every problem has a solution. This is temporary. This is a season. You are being tested. You are undefeated. Stay the course, make adjustments, and find ways to win. #NurturetheMind

Hey there, chickens. 

It's ya boi, Cole Poots back at it again with another video/podcast.

This one is kinda like a vlog style format like I did when I was out in Utah.

You'll hear the story, but yesterday I totally forgot about a concert I was supposed to go. And the incredible thing is it was going to start in 7 hours and I needed to decide if I was going to drive down to Lawrence, Kansas yesterday to see Saba perform at the Granada.

I'm glad I went because I had so much fun rockin' it solo, Saba put on a great performance, and I finally had time to reflect on how far I've come in the last three years.

I hope you all enjoy!!!

In this week's video/podcast I go over the very recent purchase of Twitter by the accomplished entrepreneur, Elon Musk.

I pulled three articles from the internet to help paint the full picture for what this acquisition might mean for society at large. 

My opinions/viewpoints are on full display as I illustrate the corruption/hypocrisy that's been taking place on these social media platforms for a long time.

It felt good to get my stance across and I hope this video is well received. We need to have more people speak out against what's happening in the world and not be afraid of what other's might say just because they disagree with our way thinking.

What were your guys thoughts on Elon taking over Twitter? Do you think corruption exists in these social media platforms? What would happen if we all held these corporations accountable? How can you get involved and spread your voice even if it means getting some resistance?
