  • My First Tattoo
    I settled for going to an artist that I knew probably wouldn’t be the best fit because I had shiny object syndrome. I had something in my mind I wanted and wasn’t even sure that was exactly what I wanted. I wanted a tattoo but I was vague in what I wanted and ran to the first opening I could get instead of waiting for the guy that I really wanted to and get specific about what I wanted. This holiday season there is tons of shiny objects that rush us into getting things just to get things. Where in your life do you rush in other areas and just do shit to do shit without being clear in what want and ending up with less than a desired outcome. I personally did this in all areas of my life including my marriage and time with the kids. Sit back and relax and listen to today’s TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • Pattern Disrupts
    When stuck in the midlife triangle of chaos of spouse, kids and business it is easy to lose yourself. In losing yourself you are stuck in this hamster wheel that you feel you can’t get out of. I finally made the decision to go away to rehab in Thailand months ago for my pattern disruption and was inspired by others recently in their story of pattern disrupts. It is easy to feel comfortable in sedation and your own chaos because that is what you created but I challenged myself to change my way of thinking by leaving everything I knew for 2 months to get help with this process of learning to change my thinking. You do not have to do this alone. I challenge you to look inside yourself and look inside your body, being, balance and business could a pattern disruption serve you. Sit back and relax and listen to today’s TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • Moving Rocks
    How many times did I just things around in life just to make life work. Just to exist instead of strategically looking at what I truly wanted. In stepping back and looking at why my business is not what I sent out to have because my Being and my relationships were failing me. I lost sight of what I truly wanted in life and was just MOVING ROCKS to try to make life work. Sit back and relax and listen to today’s TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • Run and Hide!!!
    There is so many times throughout the day we sedate to not deal with what is actually going in our life. What the problem with that is when that becomes a way of life on a constant basis to RUN AND HIDE, we burn everything to the ground without even noticing the damage in all of our relationships over time. In the daily actions now and the Men of Iron have I found that sedation and drifting from what I do not want to deal with my relationships. In looking at the FACTS of working away from home and the FEELINGS behind those FACTS can I create ways to reconnect with my kids. Sit back and relax and listen to today’s TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • SITTING IN MY THOUGHTS
    The revelation today is who wants to SIT IN THEIR OWN THOUGHTS. I am not a spiritual person by nature but the events over the past year has had me take a more mindful approach to life and realize there is something bigger than me, bigger than my EGO. Meditation and mindfulness has been a game changer to slow down these self destructive thoughts and course correct. Seeing life for what it is and the gifts that come from seeing events happening for US and not to US by sitting in those thoughts has allowed me to reframe the stories I have that hold me back. Sit back and relax and listen to today's TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • It’s My BODY. I will do what I WANT!!!!

    Over a decade of letting my body fall apart working on the road caused me to totally let my body fall apart to the point I could barley tie my shoes without breathing heavy after being an athlete all of my life. 

    This cause me to totally go the opposite direction and quit drinking almost entirely and get a personal trainer. What I did not know is I was using this as a cross addiction from stopping drinking which caused my whole world to implode when it was all that I could think about, dream about. This consumed my life causing me to be a 2 dimensional husband and father that only worried about making money and have a strong and great body. 

    Where in your life are you using something to cover up the fact you are happy in one area and using it fool you that everything is ok on the inside.

  • I am BETTER THAN!!!!!!

    40 years of not even knowing what my values were had shaken my life to it’s CORE. 

    In hiding behind my thoughts of I AM BETTER THAN and not looking at what was RELEVANT to my life for reasons of not wanting to deal with the reality that was around me. 

    I thought going to work and making money was serving everyone in my family but never looking at the FACT I was growing more and more distant from everyone in my life. 

    Now in looking at the FACTS, associating feelings towards those FACTS, and now looking at why that is relevant to my life within my values can I see how operating out of alignment with what I wanted in life would IMPLODE everything. 

    My story was the last 10 years has been so out of alignment and disconnected from my TRUE SELF. 

    Sit back and relax and listen to today’s TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • Ok that's what a FEELING is. So NOW WHAT?
    In the last episode we looked at the FACTS behind what I allowed to happen. When it came time to actually address those FACTS of my life, I had no idea what FEELINGS were and how to process them and once I started to an entire new life has emerged. The question is what do we do with these FEELINGS now that we have addressed what the FACTS of our life is actually doing to us. 
    Sit back and RELAX and enjoy and TALE FROM THE TRENCH.

  • I'm Going Home, Why Can't I FEEL Anything?????

    In my experience there has been times in my life working away from my family where I would come home after a long hitch away and I should be happy to be going but I just did not FEEL anything. Not happy, not sad, just nothing inside. If I had of looked at the FACTS behind why this was going on maybe I could have recognized this was happening to me and why. When we are not looking at the FACTS in anything in our life, we will tell ourselves STORIES that do not serve us and eventually mess everything up. 

    Sit back and RELAX and listen to this weeks 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.
