It’s all good and well you have your future in mind, but how far does that really take you? 

For me personally, I just had an idea of going into business and that’s where it stopped. That was until I handed it over to God. 

I have a special guest with me today, being Marcus Claassens. So give it up for the absolute amazing human that is Marcus!

Aaah history, my favourite subject in school… Fortunately, the school subject is not the topic being discussed in this episode! 

Your past, your mistakes, your bad memories, your fears, your failures… Stuff that! 

Use your past as an asset to propel yourself to new heights. 

Own your history, or it will own you. You decide!

Opportunity or obstacle? It is all about perspective. How are you positioning yourself towards a situation? What is your mindset?

There's a first for everything, and this is my first episode with a guest!

Episode 10! And honestly, I’m so happy, blessed, and honoured that firstly, I have this platform to help people, and secondly, that this podcast is having such a phenomenal impact on everyone! Here’s to many more life-changing episodes, and phenomenal guests on the podcast!

Are you a wallowing whale that gossips, or a purpose driven person who talks with purpose and integrity?

So many people spend their time talking about others, while not focusing on themselves. And honestly, no wonder the world is in the state that it is.

“Pay attention to how people talk about other people to you in private. Because that's exactly how they talk about you to others.”

What kind of people should you allow yourself to be influenced by?

This is a really tough question to actually answer because it is so in depth. Most people just look on the surface and say oh yes these are my friends, these are the people in my life. Yet when you undertake an investigation into the people in your life that influence you, you might be extremely surprised. By undertaking this investigation, identifying, and removing the bad influencers you may just start seeing the breakthroughs you’ve been seeking for a while.

Matthew 15:14

“When one blind man leads another they’ll both fall down into the ditch.”

Special thanks goes to:

My dad, Glenn Schroder who gave such amazing input for this episode.

One of my most valuable, and weirdly, closest friends, Paul for posing this question, and for fighting so hard for me.

I really value you both to such an astronomical extent that you wont even understand.

Welcome to the third episode in the series! Cutting the "energy vampires" in your life is extremely important as you will/I hope you will come to  this understanding by the end of this episode.

“If you've ever met an energy vampire (and you probably have), you'll get the distinct feeling that this person has an intense need to prey off the vitality of others. There is a kind of acute neediness present in energy vampires which can be quite overwhelming and depleting to those they come in contact with."

Who do you surround yourself with? Ultimately, the people that you surround yourself with become a large determining factor of where you go in life.
