Are you thinking about potentially making a change in careers to do something more fulfilling?
In this episode I share an illuminating and inspiring story from world renowned chef, Marco Pierre White - he's the youngest chef to win 3 Michelin Stars & he was Gordon Ramsay's mentor.
In an interview, Marco shared how he had become a prisoner of his own success – and the choices he was faced with in order to try and get back the life he truly wanted.
He shares how reaching the peak of success ironically prevented him from being able to enjoy the things that attracted him to cooking in the first place.
Maybe you feel like you're in the wrong job or industry – Or maybe you feel like you're in the right job or industry, but not able to do or experience what it is you truly want. Maybe you're passionate about your work but not experiencing any success – Or maybe you're experiencing great success, but not any passion in your work and lacking fulfillment…
Listen to Marco’s story, and the simple choices he gave himself, to go from prisoner to absolute freedom.

Is there been a project or venture that you've been waiting to do?
In this episode I talk about one of the greatest CRIME that you can ever commit against yourself: Waiting to Feel READY - waiting to feel completely ready before you *then* do the thing you know you want and need to do.
We're all guilty of this from time to time. But we may commit this crime more often than we think. And how do we know when we are actually ready?
In this episode I share a story of a bull-rider who taught me the valuable lesson of *when and how* to take on a challenge, even when you don’t feel ready…

If you are currently transitioning from one career/path/pursuit to another, or suspect you might want to in the future, then this conversation is for you...
In our conversation I talk with Darrin Charles (a former NFL Athlete turned Actor) I extract some of his story – of how and why he got into football (his first passion), what it provided him with and what it didn't provide him with – As well as his transition from the world of football & the NFL, to then transitioning into the “real world” and all of the challenges that came with that...
Some of those challenges including his identity crisis, career crisis, relationships crisis, and ultimately how he had to better equip himself as he set out on a whole new path of discovering who he truly was and what he truly wanted.
Enjoy our conversation.

“I know you are imagining how bad this can go, but I encourage you start imagining how great this can go, and how great you can be.” That is what my acting teacher told me many years ago while preparing for my first performance.
In this episode I share with you one of the most (perhaps the most) important and valuable tool & technique while preparing for your success. It also happens to be the most overlooked and underused technique. But it's a technique used by many high performers, high achievers, elite athletes, etc.
The technique of (and the power of ) VISUALIZATION & IMAGINATION
I share a real life example from my own life, and another example from the movie “Rocky”, to demonstrate the value of this technique, the reasons to use it, and the dangers of not using it.

I heard Shaun White, the gold Olympian snowborder, tell a funny and interesting story about a mindset strategy he used to achieve his big goal of winning the gold medal (again)!
Some big goals, as exciting as they may be, can sometimes leave us feeling a little intimidated and overwhelmed. Shaun shares his secret on how he approached this goal with a renewed sense of excitement and inspiration - he figured out a way to make the goal fun!
I share his example as well as examples of my own life of how I have re-framed some of my own big goals so that I can approach them with a refreshing sense of commitment, excitement, and fun!
All these examples will give you new ideas on how to approach and achieve your goals – and having more fun along the way.
You're gonna love this one!

“The strongest force in the human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves” - Tony Robbins.
Is this episode I share an eye-opening story I heard from Trevor Moawad about the power of our identity - it’s ability to shape how we think, what we do, and how it ultimately creates the quality of our lives.
All of us to some degree, and for better or worse, are subconsciously living in alignment with an identity. However we can consciously choose the identity we want to live into - ultimately causing an unrecognizable impact in our lives.
I share some examples of my own life and other people‘s lives demonstrating this wildly impactful phenomenon known as OUR IDENTITY.

A shocking reminder & beautiful lesson in TRUSTING THE PROCESS.
In this episode I share an intense story about the US Marine Corps training - in a documentary I watched the instructors put the trainees through 1 specific excruciating task, which at first glance, could seem cruel and pointless. The instructors put the trainees in a room full of teargas!
But there are 3 specific and purposeful reasons these instructors inflict this pain on the trainees - to help them develop TRUST, FAITH and CONFIDENCE in their equipment, their instructors and most importantly, themselves! All of which they will need in the next stages of their life…
Their suffering had a payoff, even when they weren’t aware there was one. The same tends to be true for us in our own lives.
We can search for and decide what the payoff is or what we want it to be, even in the amidst the suffering. Distinguishing “Pointless-Suffering”from “Purposeful-Suffering” will help us recognize the ways in which we are being strengthened, and what is preparing us for.
Hear this full story in Ep#8 about these Marines to see how we can apply the “payoff mindset” to our own lives.

Have you ever been terribly disappointed after accomplishing a goal? Maybe it wasn't what you thought it would be or maybe it got ruined somehow? F*ck!!! Right?!...
In this new episode I share how a Sunday evening hike which was ruined quickly turned into a life changing experience. The insights I share from that hike will help change your life as well.
WE WANT OPTIONS !!! One of the things I work on with my clients is helping them clarify and identify the experiences they want to have - whether it be something they want to do, have, feel, etc, and then helping them clarify how they can find or create those experiences elsewhere. We do not want to limit ourselves with the things that serve us. We want as many options as possible!
In this episode I dive into this concept more deeply.

You are an exceptional leader *in the right circumstance*. Whether you do or don't recognize yourself as a leader, you are one, and here are some ways to step even further into your authentic leadership...
In this episode I share a story about 5 male cheetah brothers who encountered a serious challenge which they had to resolve - it was a beautiful example of recognizing who needed to step up and take the lead...
In this episode I talk about:
1. How to take one step further into your authentic leadership.
2. Recognizing your strengths to leverage you into your leadership.
3. Ways to spot the right opportunities to step into your leaderships.
4. Recognizing situations & circumstances in which it’s best for you to lead, and best for you to let someone else to lead.
5. and more.....
*** This all ties in to your Purpose. When you recognize your strengths, you have now not only become more aware of what you enjoy doing, but also more aware of how you can support people.
*** The more we recognize our strengths, the more we will seek opportunities to use them, resulting in us stepping further into our own power, resulting in us cultivating ourselves into a leader, causing us to want to give more of our gifts to the people who need it...
*** There are millions of people out there who need your gift! Who are the types of people that need your gift? Why do they need it? And how/why are you qualified to give it to them? And don’t you f*cking dare say you’re not qualified, because you just told me it is your strength! So, that qualifies you to help someone.
This is one of the things I work on with my clients - Helping them recognize all the ways in which they already are a leader - and recognizing all the micro & macro ways to step even further into their authentic leadership to create the life they truly want!

“When a man's value is no longer measured by what he does, by his finances or social standing how does he determine his worth? In our new world, a man's presence - his depth of awareness - is his most valuable asset “ – David Deida (book: The Way Of The Superior Man”)
Today we're going take a look at a some of the common traps that a lot of us step in when determining our sense of worth & value (such as outsourcing our value) - And then we'll look at some more valuable, meaningful, and empowering ways to approach and step into our self-worth.
When we are not living into our Purpose – our Higher-Calling – that's when we desperately try to grasp onto (substances, status, wealth, etc.) to fill that painful void of shallow, empty, or outsourced self-worth.
It’s time to take your full power
