As a wrestling coach I see and think about many things that relate to life off the mat, and today's lesson is just that...a lesson about life that comes from wrestling. Don't tune out if you're not into the sport; tune in because it's something that relates to a lot of us, myself included.

You'll hear my thoughts on the pain, tears, frustration and defeat that comes along with losing, but, more importantly, you'll hear why losing is such an important part of life and how it gives you strength you never dreamed you could have. Trust me on this.

I read a quote in a book a few years ago. It said, "Just keep going. Don't stop." The quote comes from Nike's founder Phil Knight and summarizes his best guidance in life. I have lived that motto my whole life and do my best to model it to you. Life does not always go our way, but our decision to keep going makes all the difference. This week's episode takes you behind the scenes of my life and business as I give you several examples of how we "just keep going."

On today's episode, I highlight a few recent messages (w/o giving personal information) and my responses to them. My hope is that you can take this guidance and apply it to the challenges in your own life. Thank you to all of you who send me messages!
