Skilled Gentlemen Podcast

Ron Swanson is a character in the show Parks and Recreation.  Swanson is the antithesis of what a man should be like.  He has an air about him that makes anyone that watches the show be more like him.  His principles are what guides him along his path to being a gentleman as such yours should.  Being a man of principle is not an easy task to accomplish, but Swanson does it well.

I am going to talk to you about how to be more like Ron Swanson.  Understand that I do not personally agree with everything that he does or is about.  I do want you to take away what you would like more of in your life and leave the rest.  Ron Swanson is a character in a show, not a real person.  Keep that in mind next time you are wanting to image your life around what he is doing.  These are mean to be suggestions, not hard absolutes.  As always, make sure you keep yourself grounded.

What are the principles of Ron Swanson?

* Diving into 15 principles that Ron Swanson holds dear

* How we can actively put this into our lives

* What is the pyramid of greatness

* Holding this ideal in front of you and picking from the better of the principles

Snakes are very common around the world.  With how common they are, you should be aware of the do’s and don’t’s that are related to snake bites.  The first step to your education is to understand the misconceptions about bites.  If you do not understand those, you will end up hurting or possibly killing yourself.  Then to realize that you are not going to be able to do much if you are bitten.  Please understand that if you get bitten by a snake, you should get help.  Don’t focus on anything else but to get help.

This is not a hard concept to grasp, but it has to be mentioned every once in a while.  You need medical attention if you are bitten.

If you ever needed a kick in the ass, today is your show.  In our everyday life we have packs of people that we are forced to interact with.  There is a chance that some of these people are not like us.  There is a chance that some of these people are losers and should be let go.  We need to, as gentlemen, be able to spot this pack and break away from it to be better husbands, fathers, grandfathers, leaders, business owners, and employees.  There are goals to be met and money to be made, what are you doing in your everyday walk to make these dreams come true and to make these goals reality.  

Most of the pack that we interact with are not willing to make themselves better and not willing to do more than what they have to do to get the job done, we are not these people.  Remember my challenge to write down your goals and at the bottom destroy your pen by making sure you are clear that its not over until I win.  I mentioned in the show that I am willing to be apart of your pack and was absolutely serious about this.  If you have a goal or a dream and have no one to talk to about it, email me at [email protected] and let me be apart of your pack.  I am appreciative of everyone that contacts me and promise that I am a very approachable person.

How do you break away from the pack?

Defining the pack

Knowing where you fit in the pack

Why the pack is full of losers

How we sometimes slip into the pack

How Scrubs fit into this ideology

Being a leader at work

Being a leader over your flock

Creating a new flock

Stepping to live the life you want

The definition of wealth is an abundance of valuable possessions or money.  You can add wealth to your life by either increasing pay or increasing assets and decreasing liabilities.  We all need some kind of wealth because we have bills to pay and food to buy.  Value is The the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.  Also a person’s principles or standards of behavior; one’s judgment of what is important in life.  We all regard value differently but in general it means to same to us all.  

We are going to explore the difference between the two and how it relates to the family.  There has to be some kind of balance between the two different concepts in some way shape or form.  That is the discussion for todays podcast.

What is the difference between wealth and value?

* Wealth versus value as it relates to the family

* What my humble opinion is between the two subjects

* How to add value to your family

* What this means as it relates to your legacy

* The big decision you have to make in life

High School, for many people, was one of the hardest things to get through.  For me personally, it was just a major annoyance. I just wanted out with the least amount of damage possible.  People are mean and hateful and try to put you down just so they can feel better about themselves.  Everyone believes that this is the best time in their life.  The problems that they encounter now will be worse than the ones that are to come.  Most of this is nonsense, however we do not speak about this to our children and our young community.  Usually they are the ones that get pushed around and ignored, left to come up with their own views on how reality actually works in the real world.

Hopefully today I will have challenged you to take matters into your own hands and speak with your children about what you wish you knew in high school.  Along with that, take some time to think about what you wish you knew in high school and comment on the Facebook page what you think.

Remember that September is Suicide Awareness Month and we all should see the warning signs of this.  We may not like to think about this but it is not like a gentleman to shy away from things that we dont like to think about.  Learn the signs to help prevent a possible issue in your or your families lives.

What do I wish I knew in High School:

my top 17 things that I wish I knew in high school

why this topic really matters to a gentleman

why we should talk to our children about high school stress
