Hello and happy Thursday! Yes, it's been a minute. But Tom is consistently doing one thing: he's doing Tom. Right, wrong, good or bad, Tom has the clarity to choose wisely what he does and doesn't do, in lieu of how others may feel about his choices. Which would be his advice to the listeners - do you! Tom was a different version a decade ago when he began PYP. As one changes, grows, evolves, the things one looks at changes. How you look at things change. This is moving forward and this is Tom's focus. He spends less and less time thinking about yesterday as well as tomorrow. Today is what matters. Today is what is in his control so that's where his focus lies. Not sure where the podcast will go in the future but one thing for sure Tom will be Tom. And yes, he's got some stories for you today! Enjoy, and as always, THANK YOU for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! First and foremost, Tom did not get a new dog. But he has an amazing story about a dog he met named Buddha. That, combined with a book he received for his birthday, are having a real impact on Tom's Pro You journey. The main reason for this episode was due to an email story Tom received from one half of the dynamic duo that is The Canadian Assassins! And to bring it all around full circle, Tom discusses the Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex - yes, you got that right! Tom recently replied to "how are you doing" with two answers: 1- Tom showed them the book he's currently reading and 2- I'm the best I've ever been and I'm 60! Just a fun filled episode of PYP! Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom openly admitted the last two episodes of PYP were a bit uncomfortable to record. There was darkness in Tom's world as well as the real world and although Tom found the light - it was not all 'feel good'. March was when the darkness lifted and clarity landed upon Tom's path. With that, his health and Zen's health were doing great and gratitude was alive and well along Tom's path. Finding the light consistently also allows one to be a light for others; which to Tom, there is no greater purpose. Tom is incredibly grateful and Tom is 'Calm' at 60. Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom is very thankful to be 'here now' with PYP and it's Ten Year Anniversary! One fact truly sets the tone for this episode; Tom recorded it and then accidentally erased it. Now that comes with the knowledge that Tom has been 'in it' for awhile; searching for the light within the storm. So it took Tom a week to re-record this episode. "What's behind this mountain you're climbing? More mountains!" is a quote Tom loves and returns to it for this episode. Tom clearly remembers growing up wondering at what age - when in life - does this discomfort fade and the fear goes away - forever..? Now Tom knows it never happens. How one deals with, manages, and exists with that knowledge will determine how successful their Pro You path will be.

A big shout out THANK YOU to Sir Hardwick for this opportunity ten years ago and to Niko, the best producer ever!

And THANK YOU, THANK YOU and THANK YOU to ALL the listeners of PYP!

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! There's a lot of bad in the world. There has always been bad in the world. So how do we navigate our lives, our Pro You paths, in lieu of the bad? Tom has mentioned the donut and the hole before - "You cannot get a donut without a hole" - no one gets a life without suffering. So there's the "Storm" and the "Light": that which is created by your effort. What Is in your control is what serves you, and what will help you evolve and become the best version of yourself; therefore allowing the best potential to stay more mindful of the donut and not the hole. The light within the storm. Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! A lot has been going on for Tom in 2025. A lot has been going on in California in 2025. A secret to no one what devastation has occurred throughout Los Angeles. So many people losing everything, so incredibly sad. Can you believe Tom has a very Pro You story describing his personal experience with the fires? Well, he does. And this was solid proof that what Tom had described in the last episode about experiencing a huge shift "In Omnia Paratus" but how would he handle his next test? Well he passed with flying colors. But, there was no excitement or much want to share a podcast episode solely about LA burning. On Wednesday January 8 Tom made the decision to pack his vehicle just in case. Which he had never experienced in all his years in California. On Friday January 17 a tiny kitten chose Tom as her owner. Tom was not looking for anything to add to his life. Not looking for a second pet and definitely not ever going to get a cat.

What transpired with this kitten and Tom is why this episode came out; something wonderfully positive to balance what Tom shares on this episode. The Donut and the Hole. The Yin and the Yang. What one can control and what one cannot. Deeming yourself worthy and experiencing a new and better you. Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello, happy Thursday and Happy New year. In lieu of when this episode came out, it is the official last episode of 2024. And yes, PYP has gone Latin! One of the takeaways from this past year was 'it's not how it begins, it's how it ends'. It seems like every year has its challenges and like most, Tom has his. But Tom was aware that he was doing better in moments than he had in the past; he felt real growth in some challenging areas. December rolled in and there was a very tangible shift for Tom. Similar to that of 2020. Tom explains what 'In Omnia Paratus' means and what it meant to him. Tom also reflects on the moments that moved him the most in 2024. Tom once again is so very thankful for the podcast, for Niko and especially for the listeners. PYP is getting close to being 10 years old and Ep. #500 is around the corner. That means a lot to Tom. PYP means a lot to Tom.

Thank you, thank you and thank you.

Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! The second half of this episode's title: "Is not about you being comfortable". It is truly the Hero's Journey. One leaves what is familiar and faces the unknown, uncertain and unfamiliar. While on this path one will find consistent discomfort. That is why one grows along this path. It is a path of personal growth. Tom had quite a few sticky notes but not a consistent theme. Then Tom got a new client and the personal trainer version that he is now came out. Tom had the experience, the clarity and the awareness to truly prepare this new client for what was ahead. One of Tom's favorite words is Pyung Ahn which means Peaceful Confidence. It is a truly wonderful thing to know that feeling along your path. This doesn't take away the bad, the tests, the life challenges but it changes your relationship with those things that are not in your control. Again, that is a better feeling - a better experience - even though one is going through a challenging time. Tom wanted to mention how much he truly appreciates his listeners. Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has consistently taken notes; plans out and organizes the info before he records a podcast. The title "A Test" is about the physical and mental test Tom has experienced the past two months. His next choice also became a bit of a test. He awoke on Sunday morning and decided to record a podcast sharing the story but he hadn't taken any notes - no sticky notes. In the past, Tom used to just grab the mic and begin recording. So it became a 'test within a test' recording this episode. Then, right before he began recording, he experienced computer issues. Now, a test within a test, within a test - how poetic! Good news Tom made it through all the tests and by the time he had finished recording, there was a definite end to the story/test that Tom was experiencing. All's well that ends well! Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! The title is from a dear friend that Tom chats with frequently. They kept passing it back and forth and pretty soon Tom had shared it with clients. It was truly resonating. So Tom asked for his friend's permission to use it as the title and permission was granted! When someone is on a Pro You path of personal growth, they are on the lookout for tools, steps, doorways, new grooves, anything and everything they can find that assists in their journey of self discovery. But as they continue to grow, they will continue to discover new things that resonate in new ways. So one may end up using a variety of tools, yet they are all similar. Find what works and do that! The notes Tom had collected didn't seem to have a consistent theme at first glance. But once Tom began, it all seemed to come together. Tom felt 'Calm' after he finished recording (Wink-wink!)

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!
