Real-Resilience

This week we take on the and the importance of choice, passion and of mystery to leveraging your emotions to the benefit of the you today by enabling the you of tomorrow.

This week I talk about the perils of being a trail blazer and the benefits of taking the road more traveled. If you have listened and followed my show for any period of time you will know that this always boils down to a tight rope balancing event - but we get to explore some fun historic examples to drive the point home. So come join the conversation!

Today I take on the reality that you are going to fail. That if you are not failing you are STILL FAILING - but now you are simple failing at trying something new. In short - you are failing, destined to fail and will continue to fail. So what to do with that? We address all of that (along with some sweet experimental psychology!) right meow!

It took me some time but I finally figured out what the difference is between being gritty and being stubborn. Now I don't know about you but when I first thought about this I was like "Oh, that's easy, let me break it down real quick!" And then when I went to write it down I realized that there was a gap between my thinking mind and my speaking mind.. To be more accurate, a gap between my "Feeling" mind and my thinking mind. I could feel the difference, but where we get our feels and where we get our words are not the same place in the brain! So it took a bit of time, and even working some of it out live in the show today - but by the end I think I finally got a solid grasp on what it is! Hope you enjoy this live mental workshop!

You Keep Saying these words, but I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

What do Snowboarding, driving a Wrangler, going for a run and riding motorcycles have in common? What is the difference between vacationing at the beach versus vacationing in the mountains? What is the impact of these choices? What is your level of control in all of this and what is the relevancy to your life today, right here and right now? It is all about the challenge and pushing yourself. Let me take you on a journey on how I found a deeper meaning for you and how to expand meaningful relationships!

This week I take on good meaning, but hollow and cliche memes designed to make you feel good but result in no change and ultimately in the best case in apathy and in the worst case self loathing. I breathe life and meat onto the dried up cliche bones of meme motivation.

How I was able to survive and achieve a successful completion of the infamous David Goggins 4 x 4 x 48 Challenge…

The What – 4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours
The How – Running
The When – 1200 17 Feb 2021 – 0800 19 Feb 2021
The Who – Me! – With the allstar support of my wife Yazmin, Arianna, and our pup Moose!
The Why – I desire to live in a way where I am finding new ways to push myself to my limits. To test the durability of my body, my mind, and my spirit. This challenge is an amazing amalgamation of all three.

Dealing with an early and unexpected death is so insanely difficult. Tacking on suicide makes it impossible. And that's what we deal with in the community of veterans on the upwards of 22 times a day. SFC Araujo - a titan among men, lost his battle within and took his final knee. We love you brother and we will see you on the other side of the veil.
