This episode of Share The Struggle has a different tone with a special message to small business owners and soon-to-be business owners. Keith shares some of the struggles he faces as he builds an American-made apparel brand. After 10 years working for Harley-Davidson he invests his life savings into his dream to own his own brand.  With no experience designing apparel and limited space, he dives into digital printing. After a year of success and failures, he realizes the need to expand vendors and suppliers.  Battling the disadvantages that come with providing only USA made products, limited suppliers, and costs that are at least three times higher than imported goods. Keith chooses his morals over his margins as he doubles down on the belief in his brand.  Much like many Americans working from home, he finds himself in a rut with a routine that smothers his productivity. A loyal listener of the show shares a formula for change that provides insight into what it takes to make a difficult decision.

This week's episode of Share The Struggle pick's up from last week's discussion on the comfort zone, fear zone, learning zone, and growth zone. A Marine biologist experiment with sharks, and a  bucket of crabs, combined with the research from a Stanford psychologist, provides the necessary insight to understand two types of mindsets. How you view challenges and failures might depend on your personality and mindset. The good news is you can choose your mindset and change your personality because the more you think it the more you sink it. Fill your mind with negative thoughts that will sink your ship, flood your mind with positive thinking and sink in the ingredients of a positive mindset. Today we discuss fixed mindset vs growth mindset and the fortunate select group of our population with a 2% mindset.

A blown hot water heater leads to a flooded basement and some in-depth research on gratitude.  A high school friend and owner of Cote Electrical design LLC comes through to save the day and leave Keith with an overwhelming sense of gratitude.  While exploring the benefits of living with a gratitude attitude we examine the impact it plays on our brains. A positive recipe of gratitude, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin provides the necessary elixir to leave our comfort zones. To break down the walls of our comfort zones and expand our idea of comfort we need to understand the layers and zones we will experience. In today's episode of share the struggle we discuss the comfort zone, fear zone, learning zone, and growth zone.

A winning Wednesday weekly shoutout to a High school friend and teammate after he delivers a speech that provokes emotion and inspires thought. Honoring the life and legacy of his Farther-in law he creates a memory of a man I never met and now will never forget. This powerful experience is the catalyst for a positive message to anyone that is struggling to pick up the pieces after losing a loved one.

A question from a loyal listener fuels a discussion on comfort zones. Understanding the risk and reward that lies outside our comfort zones we must learn the reward is worth the risk. A step outside your comfort zone is not always rewarded with instant success or gratification we often fail. It is important to know that even if it does not work it is always working because it is building a better you and it brings those goals closer to you.

In episode 36 of Share The Struggle we explore a mental fix. Keith encourages you to focus on those conversations that you have with yourself. What you say to yourself defines you those conversations will lead you to a conclusion. Feeling sensitive, upset, pissed, angry, annoyed, and depressed are all conclusions that you made based on conversations with yourself. Those internal conversations result in a conclusion and that conclusion plays a pivotal role in your confidence. The things you tell yourself can hold you back, bring you down, keep you down or they can lift you and keep you up.

Keith quotes and recognizes Dr. Joe Dispenza and Les Brown.

Today Keith digs into Coca-Cola's Better Together global training program to help build an inclusive workplace. You know the training program that encouraged its employees to be less white... These statements provoke a lot of emotion and inspire some research. Starting with the definition of inclusion from Oxford Languages, the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those who have physical or mental disabilities and members of other minority groups. Further research from Global Diversity Practice defining diversity and inclusion provides a great deal of insight on the exploration of differences and a safe sense of belonging.

Accepting other races, places, faces,  religions, customs, and beliefs while being less of yourself is not inclusion. To single out any race, face, or place to benefit another is wrong being told to be less white black or Mexican is not American. Coca-Cola is not promoting inclusion it is in fact promoting exclusion.

With all the talk of privilege in the media, Keith explains the benefits of American privilege! Placing an emphasis on the shared values of American's bringing to light that compromise comes from common ground.  He explains the one word that will get America back on track, accountability.

This week we continue last week's relationship advice episode Keith furthers the discussion on communication as he digs into the benefits of having uncomfortable conversations. Uncomfortable conversations are essential to life and are the foundation of leadership in your career. Keith promises you three benefits from uncomfortable conversations 1 will challenge you 2 will humble you and 3 will build you. Keith is once again joined by his beautiful wife Allison as they answer more relationship questions from fans of the podcast.  From sharing memories that bond them to advice on keeping the spark alive, how they negotiate, the impact of quarantine on their relationship, and navigating disagreements. Keith shares some advice from relationship coach and author Fran Greene from an interview she had with Elite daily. Fran explains the importance of shared values describing them as the superglue of all relationships emphasizing that couples must share similar values or they will live with resentment.  Keith doubles down on this philosophy as he describes one of his core values that inspired an uncomfortable conversation two days into Allison and Keith’s relationship.
