- You Can’t Come Back If You Don’t Get Up | Randy Brown
At the age of 21 Randy Brown set three goals; become a Div. I assistant, become a Div. I head coach, and coach in the NCAA Final Four. A nail-biting loss in the 2000 Elite Eight to Michigan State kept him from achieving his final goal. 12 NBA players have resulted from Randy’s college coaching, including Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors.
That’s not Randy’s story.
In 1992 Randy was dragged off the basketball court, not told why, and arrived at the hospital to be told his his 4 year old daughter died suddenly.
Six years later a second daughter (also 4) passed in the same way.
His Book is called “Rebound Forward” and in it Randy talks about a big question.
What do you do in the throes of life changing adversity?
He was lost. Didn’t know how to grieve, so he worked longer, drank a bit more (leaning towards comfort and away from grief and family) and without knowing it started a cycle of running from adversity. That path saw him spend 24 months in Federal Prison.
Today Randy is a Published author, public speaker, and Mentors Basketball Coaches.

- Mind Games #6 Actions Count More Than Words w/Tim Alison
This week I’m calling BS on all the adults who keep telling their kids that they can do anything they want when they grow up.
Not because the words are wrong. They’re spot on. The problem is most of these adults are guilty of telling their kids to do as they say, not as they do.
Here’s the thing. Kids aren’t stupid. And if the adults around them are part of the 87% of employees in this world who are disengaged from their work, then you can be assured the kids can tell. We’re living in a world full of actors. People that say life is great, when their actions and demeanor say something different.
In this episode of Mind Games I talk about lessons I learned from the actions of my Aunt (The first woman to reach the executive floor at Labatt’s Brewery) and my Mom (She graduated 3rd in the 1947 Business and Commerce Class for the University of Toronto. The announcement of her graduation in the local newspaper, noted that she had graduated from Business and Commerce, “a subject usually considered difficult for women.”
I grew up surrounded by adult role models who refused to let societal norms determine their career or life trajectory. It’s not something we talked about. It was just there.
Parents, if you want your kids to believe in the possibilities, then you’d best start believing too. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to hear your thoughts, comments, and stories, or just make a connection.

- Doer or Dreamer: Which Are You? | Dev Gadhvi
Our world is filled with people telling us they are “Doers,” the kind of person who gets things done.
Most of these people believe it is true. You may be one of them.
But have you ever taken the time to define what a “doer” is?
Some people think it’s all about being busy. Dev Gadhvi used to think that way. The son of a truck driver from a small town in India, Dev was raised to belief that the key to success was hard work. His father instilled this work ethic in Dev at an early age, and in the traditional sense it served him well. Dev started at the bottom and worked his way up the corporate ladder. But something was missing. He found himself waiting for Friday’s knowing the weekend was coming. After thirteen years of doing what he’d been told, Dev decided there had to be more, so he quit his job and started his own business.
Today Dev is a best selling author (his book is called 80% Mindset 20%Skills), a TEDx Speaker, and bills himself as India’s 1st and #1 Passionpreneur.
How did Dev do it? He realized that being a doer was about more than hard work. He started by investing time and money in his own personal development. He read vociferously, purchased professional development programs from people like Grant Cardone and Dab Lok, a created a Doer Mindset.
In this episode Dev shares with us the things he’s learned on his journey and why he believes anyone can create the life they way.
