PIPE DREAM PODCAST

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to not know if you would live or die OR LOOSE A LIMB?

Carrie Creed has spent more days than she can count in that space and decided she had a choice.

Due to an extraordinarily complex medical issues in her first semester of college she had to make the choice, to let the disease WIN or choose to be grateful for the disease and create her own REALITY where she chose to mentally beat the disease and it eventually became that reality.

130 days of bed rest in her lifetime was not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.

Just like we choose to work away from home, Carrie made the choice to step into the PAIN VOLUNTARILY a second time when she got pregnant with her second child knowing the high probability of complications killing her and it almost did.

Just like the PAIN most men in this society HIDE FROM SEDATION, Carrie hid the fact she was so overly positive until her breakdown of PTSD when she finally allowed those suppressed feelings to the surface.

The tools that Carrie uses daily has been insurmountable in her recovery, she now teaches people to use in their day to day lives.

Going from Retail to Survey Party Chief to Independent Artist Consultant has been the path of Jesse Curtis.

All he knew was he felt the need to make more money when he was offered a starting position as rod man on a pipeline 

and took it. 

During that time he got a girlfriend and worked all over the country. 

Now in my experience, Surveyors can be a crazy bunch and it seems that Jesse was able to manage his 6 years very

well and had a plan to save his money and executed his exit strategy well. 

We discuss some stories about being on the line and how he was able to use the RESILIENCY skills he learned working all over 

the U.S., pipelining, to be able to launch his own company now to help starving ARTISTS reach their full potential

in the entertainment industry. 

He teaches them how shift their mindset, give them the tools to market themselves in a digital world and learn 

to thrive.

Such an interesting conversation and always a great time interviewing fellow oil and gas professionals.

YOU COULD BE NEXT. SEND ME A MESSAGE.

In Jesse's words and where you can find him.

I worked as a surveyor for pipeline projects around the United States for the past 6 years. I decided to leave the industry in August in order to pursue a business serving independent music and media creators. I launched a podcast this year called 2020: Into The Fire, where I interview independent artists about the struggles they've had due to the pandemic and other issues of this year and how they are working to overcome the challenges they face.

Dr. Chris Zaino is a world-renowned speaker, author, entrepreneur, and HERO. After winning Mr. America in 1998, and being a leader in the fitness industry, he found himself defying a deadly disease in his late 20's. 

Dr. Zaino leveraged his experience to establish one of the largest health and wellness clinics in the world, seeing thousands of patients per week (yes, per week). 

Teaching mindset and health principles has allowed thousands of people to finally receive results where other health and medical systems failed them in the past. 

Now an international speaker, author, and mindset expert, Dr. Chris has shared his message of wholeness in mind and body over 4430 times. Shifting Doctors and Clients alike to continue to make the impact on millions.

With his shift in mindset his focus is on the vitality of the Males of the Planet and discusses some tools to shift your mindset during adversity which everyone can use right now along with his new Vitality Clinic in Cancun. 

If Dr. Zaino let himself be a VICTIM DURING HIS ILLNESS, he would not be affecting people in a positive way the way he has over his career once BODYBUILDING was over.

Dr. Lance McAfee is a Chiropractor whose practice is approx. 50% oil and gas professionals in Sylvan Lake, Alberta Canada. He sees first hand the mental and physical consequences of both the Men or Women who chooses to work away as well as the partner/kids who stay at home. You would think these kind of Doctors would only want you in and out after they deal with the physical problems his patients come in with but the reason Dr. Lance wanted to come on the podcast was to show a lot of the issues that come with the body come from something psychological aspect and affects everyone in the household. His passion is helping these families in all aspects of their life when they are in his office and wanted to discuss those affects.  Choosing to hide behind drugs, alcohol, pain-killers is hurting everyone and it is time we all take ACCOUNTABILITY for the good and the bad that comes from living this way.  This interview was probably one of the RAWEST interviews where both of us started to tear up when talking about people who have taken their own life trying to navigate this on their own.

Sean Flottman has been in the fabrication industry as a welder for 20 years. 

He has seen so many changes in his career and has had to adapt.

Everything from the welding processes he has chosen to learn, to the changes in his life after his choice to get sober 5 years ago.

To keep his hands busy, he up'd his game in his backyard METAL ART to find a way to connect with his daughter more.

His side hustle could very well be his main hustle but because of his online presence being refined, coupled with his amazing talent,

He was approached by a guy he worked with when he first started in the trade to be Student Outreach Coordinator for the 

American Welding Academy and accepted. 

There was so much blood, sweat and tears to get to this point but this was the reason I reached out to  this man to make me first logo 

design in a tig welded metal art that impresses the hell out of me every day that I see it.

There are certain things we choose to do everyday.

Some of them help us....some of them hinder us.

The things that we think are helping us and making us feel good on a daily basis may actually be hindering us.

The parable of the day....

WHAT YOU DO AFFECTS TOMORROW is more to help you realize that you are seeking instant gratification.

The lesson of the day....

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO IT WILL...

AFFECT TOMORROW. 

If you choose to sedate and not do one thing to pull your body forward today, 

Nothing will change today...

But it sure will sometime down the road.

The same goes for your fulfillment, family and finances.

YOUR ACTIONS TODAY IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS DOES NOT AFFECT TODAY...

BUT IT SURE AS HELL AFFECTS TOMORROW.

Dr. Monique Andrews and Dr. Tamara MacIntyre started The Prana Foundation after necessity.

They were asked to leave their positions doing what they thought were their dream jobs in California.

Their whole life came crashing down when this happened and forced to move back to Canada. 

With their backs against a wall, what does a Neuroscientist and a Chiropractor do?

They pulled themselves of the PIT and went to work building their dream where they now mentor young professionals to build their dreams while they get to live theirs. 

In today's episode we discuss the tools they used to deal with major life changes in their own lives in hopes people can learn from their experience which is very relevant in the world we live in right now with companies downsizing, restructuring, canceling projects....

Leaving the employees to pick up the pieces of these decisions on their own.

These are 2 very inspiring and amazing ladies dropping tons of value, which was so fun to talk about this subject.

I decided to reach out to Alaya Rain to be on the podcast since trying to navigate dating after after 17 years with the same person and have just not been able to figure things out. 

What we did end up talking about was what are some ways we can keep the relationships we have be it marriages or dating while living this oilfield lifestyle. 

There is so much value in what she discusses and has insight into especially after she lived this lifestyle having went through a divorce as well. 

Having gone through the other side of those experiences of divorce is why both of us are committed to people be able to NAVIGATE RELATIONSHIPS effectively so you are not served divorce papers and THRIVE while doing what you love to do in this often lonely and secluded lifestyle. 

We discuss how love languages are most important.

Also how to create a COMMUNICATION PLAN to effectively communicate what comes up for both partners while one or both are away.

Such a great conversation, aligned with the mission of Pipe Dream Solution.

Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY'S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

Today's discussion is with the Owner and Head Coach of the Men of Iron, Dr. Ryan P. Doyle.

In the Pipe Dream Solution by Men of Iron, we set TARGETS in all 4 areas every single quarter. 

We set them in our;

FITNESS

FUEL(Fulfillment)

FAMILY

FINANCES

We are usually pretty good in the Oil and Gas space at making money when there is money to be made...

BUT what about the rest of our lives. 

IN THIS GAME YOU CANNOT HIDE. WE WILL NOT LET YOU HIDE.

We just did our Quarterly Target review Webinar a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to see discuss what Dr. Doyle is seeing in the people that are going through the program right now and what were some trends,

What were some excuses,

What were the biggest reasons people were either hitting their targets;

Or why they were LEAVING MEAT ON THE BONE and not hitting the targets they set out. 

Life is a work in Progress at all times. Once you GAMIFY YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK.
