Share The Struggle

A tough day for technology challenges a deadline and changes the direction of the show but thankfully a 44 billion dollar acquisition sparks a powerful debate. Elon Musk's Twitter takeover provides some polarizing opinions and powerful points of view from Keith. Steadfast in his belief that raising youth on participation trophies creates a false fantasy that doesn't prepare children for the harsh realities of the real world. Learning the difficult lesson of failure and not being good enough conditions youth for difficult challenges and processing negative situations. Not all news is good news and everyone's view and outlook doest agree with you. If you don't win you don't get the trophy and if you don't agree with someone's opinion they are still allowed to share their opinion. When everything is given nothing is earned when life is easy the lesson isn't learned.

We live in a world where everyone is hiring. Good help is hard to find and great help is even harder to keep and there isn't anybody working for cheap. Mcdonald's and Dunkin Donuts are $16.50 to $19.50 to start. A pandemic, large unemployment checks rising inflation declining work ethic, and a lack of good service. These outside forces are working against us but between us, there are a lot of things that can be improved by us. Why fuss and cuss over what is out of our control when we can just take control of what's right in front of us? Today's episode of Share The Struggle Podcast is a conversation on the impact of bad management and the parallels between management, relationships, and parenting.

Two loyal listeners of Share The Struggle Podcast bet on themselves and credit the show with helping them to take the leap. The actions of two men motivate Keith and hopefully many more that listen to the show because the confidence and success of your peers can be the positive push you need to challenge yourself.

As the Loud Proud American travel schedule comes to an end instead of relief the opposite actually happens and Keith finds himself feeling overwhelmed. In an effort to kick the overworked underachieving feeling, he decides to carve out a break. Not a pre-decided timeout on the couch but a heavy dose of manual labor hands on but detached from business. This purposeful movement provides tangible results and builds pride in your accomplishments. Dedicating time to physical activity that forces you to use a part of your brain that isn't being used during your routine work regimen restores focus, prevents fatigue, and inspires you to chase your goals.  If you are feeling overworked and overwhelmed but have dreams you want to achieve then take a break and use the remaining 11 weekends of 2022 to make the best year for you!

From being accused of glorifying war and condoning violence to meeting the former Governor of Maine Paul LePage! Keith shares his first few days at the 2022 Fryeburg Fair as he pushes towards his lofty expectations and big goals. Somewhere between being told his made in USA apparel line is nothing but a fire starter to being told he is a celebrity if the "Fair Truth"

Maine's largest Fair is just days away and Keith is hard at work planning and preparing for success.

Ap.pre.ci.a.tion Recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something. A feeling or expression of admiration, approval, or gratitude. Turning 40 and having the first photo shoot for Loud Proud American has Keith full of appreciation and ready to turn it into a life lesson! A weekend at https://bentleyssaloon.com/ was filled with surprises thanks to a lot of help from his wife Alli. After a long look at his life trying to determine any regrets, Keith can't help but think of his lack of appreciation for all the moments and memories in his life. Far too often we are fixated on a goal, a dream, a house, or a career we do not slow down and appreciate the moments. Our lack of appreciation for our own accomplishments often causes a lack of appreciation for those around us. Keith issues a self-evaluation challenge to all the listeners that can have a major impact on all aspects of our lives as he preaches "Appreciation in motion remains in motion"

Have you ever put too much faith in an event, experience, or relationship only to be disappointed? The anticipation and expectation are way higher than the experience and reality. This week Keith shares a recent experience that left him feeling defeated and weak. Trying to survive while betting on himself and pushing an all-American brand recent results and an unwelcoming reception push him to an all-time low. A weekend with unfriendly rodeo cowboys proves even if you have common values you may not have common ground. An unexpected encounter with a 20 year Veteran celebrating his 62 birthday after a day of dialysis changes Keith's outlook and puts the real meaning of life and business into perspective. "If you don't try you can't win and if you don't try you know how it will go." When life beats us down we find ourselves searching for a sign from the universe a glimmer of hope from the heavens when we least expect it but need it most it reveals itself to us. Some signs aren't significant you have to search for the meaning but others are blunt, direct, and between your ears! 

The show gets started with an exciting announcement for the Loud Proud American brand as Keith announces a milestone moment celebrating 40 years of life with a dance party and professional photo shoot for the brand at Bentley's Saloon with Robert Grant. https://www.facebook.com/RGP207

The American Flag has stood as a symbol of freedom since being accepted as the official flag for the United States Of America in 1777. Though times of war and peace the American flag has served as a beacon of hope and a reminder of democracy. A heartbreaking antipatriotic trend is sweeping the country threatening to divide a nation and Keith is experiencing it firsthand. As he grinds to build an all-American brand he never expected to be met with such resistance toward American manufacturing. What is more shocking than that is an overall fear by many to show their patriotism. A Joe Biden hate-fueled speech alienates millions of Americans and identifies them as "a threat to democracy" when in fact the same people spewing this hatred are trying to banish the actual shining symbol of Democracy, The American Flag!

Last week's episode and this week's lesson help us realize we have the power of choice, we get to choose what our mood is what our energy is, pessimistic, optimistic, realistic, or unrealistic, the choice is yours. To chase your dreams, to run and scream, to live and fear, or to tell our emotions to get the hell out of here, we get to choose. British novelist and short story writer Phyllis Bottoome said "there are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties, or you alter yourself to meet them" On this week's episode of Share The Struggle Podcast Keith shares his strategy to alter himself to overcome recent difficulties.  Furthering last week's discussion on fear with real-time experience at the latest event for Loud Proud American at the Acton Fair in Acton Maine.
