Alex shares some life updates on this week's podcast. At the beginning of the year, Alex felt like God wasn't really speaking to him, but after coming back from a mission trip to Guatemala, he realizes what God was saying to him all along. We have so much opportunity in our lives that even on your worst day, it's someone's absolute best day.

Key Takeaways:

• It's almost March! If you're not where you want to be, it's okay; recognize it, learn from it, and move forward!
• Having a hard time getting rid of the chaos in your mind? Get your body moving.
• At the end of January, Alex attended a Lifeonaire retreat. It was there where he was inspired to attend a mission trip to Guatemala with some of his mastermind buddies.
• Alex is here to create an impact, to make the world a better place. And sometimes, he's not always crystal clear what that looks like.
• Guatemalans are very grateful and happy people.
• Over there, when kids turn 10-12 years old, they have to start working.
• Alex went into a 70 sq. ft. house and it had five to six people living in there. There was no ventilation in there and it was just a dirt floor.
• We have so much opportunity and yet we take it for granted.
• Your worst day is somebody's absolute best day out there.
• At the beginning of the year, Alex wasn't really hearing God speak to him.
• Are you open to hearing and receiving what God/universe/whatever you believe in is giving you?
• The next voice that you also have to pay attention to is your inner voice.
• Do you have KPIs for your family?
• Real leadership and strengths come from showing your weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Don't ever lose that.
