Share The Struggle

Are you letting negativity control your life? In one of our most empowering episodes yet, we tackle the power of struggle and its impact on our lives. Discover how to break free from negative surroundings and navigate difficult family dynamics, as we reveal life-changing lessons from unlikely sources - even goldfish.

In the podcast, we discuss the importance of being aware of our surroundings and the energy people project onto us. Negative people can prevent us from achieving our dreams and goals. Learn how to beat this by staying positive and striving for your goals, even in the face of negativity. We also dive into family dynamics, exploring how jealousy and fear of failure can manifest, and how to remove yourself from situations that hold you back.

Moving on, we cover the concept of crab mentality, and how recognizing limitations set by those closest to us can change your life trajectory. Finally, we explore the idea of how changing our surroundings can impact our growth, using the analogy of goldfish and their environment. Join us in this inspiring episode as we defy the odds, set new limits, and learn to thrive, no matter the circumstances.

The event season is officially in full swing after 3 events, 3 locations, in 3 days. A great start takes a difficult turn after the LPA express won't start, An electric fence won't work, and an iPad dies. Five plus years of DJ lists and the source of the podcast is toast as the deadline to keep the shows consecutive episode steak alive gets closer and closer Keith has a series of meltdowns. The battle to beat the deadline reveals a new level of importance as he realizes how much the show really means to him. A quote written on some show notes took a new meaning and provided todays message when Keith opened his note book "if its important to you, you will find a way if not you will find an excuse."

Who could imagine a vacation in Nashville Tennessee would lead to a new friendship, a Texas wedding, and a message from the Farther of the groom would leave in impact that goes beyond the Skin! A story shared is a story multiplied, when wedding advice becomes life advice, when that heart felt message becomes a life long mantra. You can't help but feel that friendships are destined, life lessons are often pre determined and many times the message isn't just for you.

Kevin, Amy, Ally and Lexi you will never understand how much you have impacted me!

We start this week's show with some humor that focuses on an important sense. 

At a time when everything is costing more Loud Proud American is charging less! Keith sacrifices margin to make his brand more affordable and takes us inside his thought process. While expanding the brand and its offerings Keith attempts to add some additional equipment he encounters the worst buying experience of all time. After a PayPal credit approval a week of massive frustration begins, 7 days 27 messages, 22 calls, and 197 minutes of pain-staking phone time with PayPal. At the end of the struggle to spend money all his efforts result in making the purchase without the help of Paypal. The entire experience outlines the worst customer service Keith has ever received and leaves him questioning if customer service in America is in fact dead. Looking at poor customer service and its impact on retail locations going out of business brings to light a trickle-down aggravation. All the negative service does reveal a positive opportunity to make a difference!

Is friendship destiny? The relationships that we value most are they meant to be? Does the universe already have a plan for you and me? If you believe destined friendships do exist how far are you willing to go for a person you just met? Would you travel over 2,000 miles for a friend you just met? What if you were traveling from Maine to Texas to be in that friend's wedding? Today's episode of Share the Struggle podcast is a unique story and a special situation. Keith and Alli jump out of their comfort zone and leave time zones, a few flights 10 hours in a rental car, and 4 nights in a house full of strangers all because a friendship with Carter and Liz is destiny! 

This week's show starts with a major Share The Struggle announcement and two funny encounters that involve sex and theft!

Another week another tragedy and another plea for peace from me.  The woke movement rolls on and the violence and destruction continue. The highest-ranking officials continue to misuse power, our tragedy as an opportunity to push policy and divide a country. Leadership or dictatorship protection or isolation political leaders don't abuse power to lock up rivals, use government officials to provoke violence and label religion as domestic extremists. Riley Gaines stands up for women in sports only to be attacked and held hostage for ransom. Bud Light calls its loyal customer base fratty with out-of-touch humor as it strives for inclusivity. We do not achieve equal rights by removing someone else rights and we don't achieve inclusivity with segregation.  

We created a call to action and a positive perspective with the some amazing insight from David Goggins recent book Never Finished Never Finished by David Goggins - Audiobook - Audible.com 

My book recommendation for the best Audible book I have ever listened too https://www.audible.com/pd/Cant-Hurt-Me-Audiobook

This week's show is the Atlantic City rundown a recap of Loud Proud Americans' first print convention the ISS Impressions Expo in Atlantic City New Jersey. Cutting-edge technology and business psychology it's motivating to surround yourself with the latest and greatest. It is inspiring to shake hands and give hugs to the best in the business. Being accepted in the print community was the biggest benefit for Keith and Alli! The trip to Atlantic City also revealed a depressing view of several people and businesses forgotten about still impacted by a hurricane and pandemic. Inflation and poor customer service have created a vicious cycle leaving Americans paying more than ever before, given less, and expecting the best.
