  • KICKSTARTER -- BACK TO THE BEGINNING
    1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE PIPE DREAM PODCAST.
    Not only do we have new theme music by the Ghost Inside...
    We have been spreading this message of learning to BUILD YOUR PIPE DREAM for an entire year. 
    We have interviewed some fricken amazing individuals who have dropped some unbelievable content of HERO STORIES AND TOOLS OF RESILIENCE which is so important in the times we are currently living in.
    In this episode I run through my story and introduce myself as so many new people are being introduced daily to this movement and may or may not who I am or where I come from....
    more importantly how I got to making a podcast based on how I burnt my life to the ground to now using these tools to build a foundation that is going to be unbreakable.  
    I am a tradesman for life who wanted to build a life for my family but had no idea what that even meant and looking back now was a major contributing factor to the fall of my marriage. 
    We as tradesman build extraordinary things for other people using their systems and procedures....
    WHAT IF WE USED A SYSTEM TO DESIGN OUR LIFE???

  • I'M ALL IN
    Today's guest is a man who has put in the WORK.
    Jeff is a Scaffolder by trade who owns his own Scaffold Company in Lethbridge, Upper Limit Scaffolding, while working away at a facility in the Oilsands in Fort McMurray.
    He signed up when I first put my out my offer for online coaching clients at a time when it was it was either pack his bags in his marriage or do something about it. 
    He chose to fight for his marriage and himself. 
    We discuss the PIT and where he started when we started working together to where he is now. 
    How the conversations on motorcycle trips has changed along with his relationships with both his kids and his spouse.
    This is a conversation that discusses the damage of working away for 12 years and not dealing/taking accountability for that decision.
    Jeff discusses what how the tools we work with on a daily basis combined with the ACCOUNTABILITY of daily check ins to his unit has help to transform his life in a positive way. 
    Jeff is ALL IN and I have been waiting for this conversation for a long time.

  • PAIN TO PROFIT
    Today's guest is someone very special to me. 
    She was one of the first mentors that I looked to when I wanted to start selling myself online and the message we are spreading in this space of personal development in the Oil and Gas space. Not to mention her Webinar training I took of hers helped me launch a webinar in a week and actually filled the seats. 
    Such a weird dynamic, I am not gonna lie. 
    Nicole coming from being a high school math teacher to a Sales Coach and myself a Tradesman learning to navigate all of this to where I can effectively communicate my message but her authentic personality and the way she gets through to you is so amazing so I keep coming back.
    Nicole's calling came out her darkest days of unhappiness in a corporate setting where she excelled as #1 Salesperson in the United States for Aramark which is no small feat in itself but even with that massive achievement felt zero fulfillment. 
    In taking the plunge after years of dabbling in the online coaching she now coaches Health Coaches to learn to sell themselves full time. 
    She explains how sales are important to those who are even not running their own business as they are selling themselves on a daily basis in any industry. 
    In the oil and gas sector, relationships are the building blocks of a career and can make or break it.
    This is about as RAW as I have ever seen a High School Math Teacher but man she can tell a story and imbed her message so deep, you just want to take action in whatever endeavor you are wanting to create. 
    COVID has shown people what lack of action in their lives gives them when they rely on others to pay them. 
    After listening to this episode, what action can you create today to move closer to your own FULFILLMENT. 
    Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY'S TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • DRAGGING UP!!


    Has this ever happened?

    You wake up in the morning…

    You come back from lunch to work…

    And you just have this feeling of I am done!

    I have had enough.

    In the oilpatch, we call this DRAGGING UP.

    You are to the point where you cannot take anymore and just say I am done and quit.

    Or another offer comes and you don’t even think and take it to leave the job or contract you currently have.

    Living this life day after day, year after year at work, are you able to see how in your personal

    Life that when things get HARD…Things get difficult…You just say I am DONE???

    The conversation I had today with myself describes just that.

    Sit back and relax and listen to TODAY’S TAKE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • PURPOSE BASED BUSINESS
    I have been excited for interviews before but not like this one. 
    The accomplishments that Chelsey has been able to crush to date have been nothing pure inspiring and amazing in the Oil/Gas sector, pharmaceuticals and now in a new start up venture with Chiron Group. 
    www.chirongroup.ca
    All of this started in the concrete industry where she learned some valuable lessons where people shortly mistaken her for the new girl on the crew when she was actually the boss as her work ethic was nothing short of determined. 
    In this episode we discuss her first thoughts of the oil/gas industry to her first thoughts in the boardroom.
    We even had a chuckle of having to clean up our language and going from the field to the office can be more of struggle in more ways than one. 
    She discusses her views that she so eloquently describes  in her blog, www.the6040rule.com, to how running her business in line with her values have transformed her life in such a positive way.
    Operating in line with your values at home and in the boardroom has allowed her to the space to find an amazing like minded partner who supports her and the start up company she is involved with Chiron Group, I feel, is just the start of something so amazing. 
    The reason I was so excited and nervous for this interview is Chelsey is so well connected in the oil and gas industry and the more we can share this message of how to live your PIPE DREAM better and more connected, in essence, living your life as a PURPOSE BASED BUSINESS where maybe one person can make the SHIFT IN THEIR LIFE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR. 
    Chelsey and I absolutely love this industry and the more people we can attract and retain to this industry while living their best life....well...it is about all we can ask.
    Sit back and relax and listen to today's TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS

    Had a discussion with an plant operator today onsite and the discussion of retirement came up.

    In a matter of seconds, we are talking about his divorce and now how he needs to work till he is 80 because of the financial ruin this left him in.

    Should have been a good conversation topic when this came up discussing how another operator is retiring in a couple of weeks but I was wrong.

    What this conversation taught me is you never know what is happening inside someone's house.

    This man was ready to retire 10 years ago, he is now 68, but now is having to deal with the fallout of his divorce.

    When his ex left for a guy from high school when he was working a ton of time during a major pipeline expansion, it was not about the overtime at all but the lack of daily deposits for the entire marriage.

    This episode hits home on so many levels for me and I feel it will to you too.

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

  • LOOKOUT LITTLE GOPHER!!!

    Almost ran over a gopher today.

    That little bastard had a choice,

    Keep going or look up and see what was coming at him.

    Just like ass down heads up at work.

    How many times do you look up from the grind to see what is actually going on?

    Most of us are really good at making money…

    But do you ever look up to see what is truly going on?

    Are you overweight?

    Do you do anything to fill your cup?

    Is your relationship on fire or is it pure shit?

    Is your business actually making money or is your head so far buried up your ass that you cannot see what is actually happening?

    No judgement…

    I’m asking to consider what do you actually see when you look up.

    Is everything actually going good or is your foundation ready to crumble?

    What is the one thing you can do to make that better, either way you see this?

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

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS A LONG WEEKEND?!?!

    Being a long weekend this past weekend, families were abundant in the town I am in and I was triggered by a family having breakfast one morning at the hotel. 

    We do not get weekends off like most people.

    We do not get vacations like most people either. 

    I was triggered because I was reminded of all of the vacations we never took.

    I was triggered because of all the memories we made when the kids were young. 

    My ex and I were focused on making money and had the eye on the prize. 

    It was absolute bullshit and lost out on so much. 

    The lesson is all of this was, in the past this trigger would have absolutely ruined my day. 

    Or my week. 

    The lesson is what do you do to regulate these emotions. 

    You know?

    The thoughts and the feelings behind your ears. 

    Your family is waiting for you to step the FUCK UP and how are you going to do that?

    How are you going to regulate yourself and make the decisions you need to pull you forward and lead your family to the heights you know you should be?

    In the MEN OF IRON we use a couple of tools. 

    The STACK.

    The PATRIOT MISSILE GAME. 

    2 ways for you to to turn around a story in your head and you get to reframe that story to one that suits you. 

    One the pushes you forward. 

    This trigger for me had nothing to do with the family. Had nothing to do with balance. 

    I am curious if you tried one of these tools how a story like this would work out for you. 

    Reach out to me and let's see if I can point you in the right direction and have you try out these for yourself today. 

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

About PIPE DREAM PODCAST

From the publisher's feed

All of us started out in the oilpatch with PIPE DREAMS and aspirations of what this lifestyle can bring. At one time the most viable industry in our country. Downturns and recessions have allowed us as MEN to hide and sedate from the REAL problems.
