On today’s episode we’re talking all about career with the founder of The Culture Marauders podcast. This man knows a thing or two, because he’s seen a thing or two as a military veteran. His experience as a renowned leadership mentor, a motivated Air Force Master Sergeant, and naturally-gifted people-person has made him a force to be reckoned with.

Some of the many valuable insights from our chat: 

• Being exposed to various cultures as a military brat
• A military view on equality
• How to fight past a paralyzing fear of failure
• Learning to shine in the eyes of those who matter
• Avoiding the absolute worst decision you could ever make
• Why mass destruction on the battlefield is seen in slow motion
• How can we all find creative ways to put FUN back in leadership

Listen and learn how this 20 year military vet overcame analysis paralysis to become an effective decision maker, obtained a Bronze Star Medal, and transformed his passion for helping people into a podcast-centered career path. Let’s welcome our fellow podcaster, Curtis “Kellz” Kelley from The Culture Marauders Podcast!

On today’s relationship episode we’re talking with a man who has mastered the art of making and keeping relationships. 

He is the 2nd oldest of 6 boys and was taught a solid work ethic at a young age. He grew up loving baseball and all the beautiful connections and lessons that were developed through it. Baseball was his first love, but at the age of 19, while in his first years of college, he found his faith in Jesus Christ which he credits for his relationship success. 

Soon after found a Ruby's waitress to be his wife. As baseball soon became 2nd and then 3rd place, Scott found himself playing one of the greatest sports of all, called Marriage. He married his college sweetheart 6 months after meeting her and 18 years later they now find themselves with six children and still in love.

In our chat we discuss:

• Growing up in a BIG family
• Making your marriage be more than average
• Giving 100/100 in a marriage, not just 50/50
• Seeking advice from everywhere and anywhere
• Learning from your elders
• And being willing to look stupid by talking to strangers
• & Much more

Get pumped for a raw and real look at all things personal and business relationships with our friend, and now marriage mentor, Scott Cheo!

She has reached advanced/elite level and the podium in these contradictory sports while overcoming a broken back from her childhood.

Listen to learn how you can bring value into other peoples life while keeping faith that the best is yet to come. Entering a new phase with new challenges that expand her comfort zone, Niki will teach us techniques for creating the right mindset to succeed against the odds and live a better life.
