  • Surfing Lesson #226: Doing My Prescribed Pregnant Mom's Squat Therapy
    DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM!
    ☝🏼️☝🏼️☝🏼️Am I serious?
    Yes I am. I'm telling you that adhering to a strict, disciplined regiment every day creates the power and the freedom you are looking for.
    I want the freedom to speak my mind and be nothing but pure truth bomb to my wife and kids.
    But without my daily disciplines to cultivate the connection and trust, I'm stuck with the 2 options of either pleasing them or pissing them off.
    I want freedom to move and play and surf with my body.
    But without the daily disciplines to build and bulletproof myself physically, I'm stuck disabled and diseases, TRAPPED inside my body.
    We often skip out on our disciplines because we feel like they restrict us and take away our freedom.
    And then we let distractions and laziness ultimately lead us into a prison DESPERATE for freedom.
    Don't make that mistake! Let discipline set you free!
    Get more PASSION. Get more CONNECTION.

  • Surfing Lesson #225: Driven By Discipline or Passion?
    There have been so many seasons of my life driven by passion!
    My love for Luci!
    My love for my kids!
    My love for surfing!
    Yet, other seasons, I was in survival mode...
    Trying to get by the best I could with Luci, my kids, and yes, even surfing!
    And when facing these challenges, I would crack down on disciplines that would level me up.
    In fact, the discipline alone would create results that made me seem unstoppable.
    Only to find myself in a "robotic" state, going through the motions, and feeling super entitled underneath the surface because of all my disciplined hard work.
    So what are we supposed to do with this? How do we make passion and discipline work together?
    The answer is a single word, and it's an absolute GAME CHANGER! πŸ˜‰...
    Get more PASSION. Get more CONNECTION.

  • Surfing Lesson #224: My Needy Relationship With My Surfboard...
    I used to invest so much time, energy, and money into everything outside of myself to feel better about myself.
    I'd sacrifice everything for my wife.
    Pour myself out into children.
    Spend money I didn't have to purchase higher status equipment for my hobbies.
    Bend over backwards in service of my church and communities.
    And I would take pride and place my sense of identity in something other than myself.
    Leaving me feeling empty as a never enough inside
    Disconnected and alone
    Always needing to prove myself or have some sort of status symbol to hide behind
    And robbed of the fire that wanted to burst from my heart.
    Once I could see the value in myself and myself alone, the game changed.
    My wife and kids and service and possessions all became simply a mirror, a reflection of who I am on the inside, rather than where I got my identity from.

  • Surfing Lesson #223: Too Much Rubber!
    Our greatest strengths can often become our weakest links inside the game of being truly ourselves.
    I would always take the most pride in and find my confidence behind my strengths.
    And I did a great job.
    It kept everyone, including myself, focused on the external...
    My performance
    My smiles and "happiness"
    My possessions
    And anything else that would keep everyone, including myself, from seeing the pain and insecurities of my heart.
    I developed an iron clad personality type and ego that I was proud of.
    Nothing could hurt me and get to my heart.
    Nothing could penetrate it!
    Not even the love and light trying shine through from either direction.
    What I had built up nearly 3 decades as my greatest strengths ultimately were my anchors keeping me disconnected, feeling alone inside and drained of passion.
    Find out what left me pretty much a shell of a man inside this episode of The Surfing Lessons Podcast πŸŽ™!

  • Surfing Lesson 222: It's Not the Actual Size of Your Stick...
    First off, for those of you reading this who don't surf, someone's surfboard is often referred to as their stick 😎.
    Btw, LOTS of surfing terms sound sexual, and probably not on accident! 😜
    Watch a surfing contest with your eyes closed just listening to the commentators if you're curious πŸ˜‰
    Now, back on topic!...
    I spent my entire life wanting and wishing I had a bigger penis...
    I'll just end it there.

  • Surfing Lesson 221: New Pain, New GAME!
    We all love life-transforming results πŸš€. But the change of trajectory that leads us down the path of those results
    Comes on the other side of a significant pain or problem.
    I'm in love with surfing longboards.
    I'm in love with my marriage with Luci.
    I'm in love with my relationships with my kids.
    I'm in love with my walk with God.
    I'm in love with my coaching and training.
    I'm in love with 100's of aspects of my life, ALL OF WHICH have come on the other side of a pain I just couldn't take anymore.
    The secret is that the pain is ALWAYS there to give us the results we're looking for.
    You just have to know where to find it!

  • Surfing Lesson 220: Go THROUGH the Wave!
    There is a disease that is running RAMPANT among men this day...
    And it is AVOIDANCE!
    We justify not dealing with the issues we know we must and having the difficult conversations that are required
    By telling ourselves and others that we are NICE men and GOOD men.
    And this thought that we are nice and good men suppresses the still, small Voice inside us
    Guiding us towards the courageous and inspiring path and decisions of light and love.
    It has become acceptable even NOBLE to run and hide from the battles we know deep in our hearts we must face.
    We've lost all concept of what it means to make a stand for the connection we want.
    Well, if you're tired of the running and hiding...
    If you're tired of the loneliness deep inside that comes with being the nice and good man on the outside who you think everyone finds acceptable...
    Then it is TIME TO TURN AROUND and make a stand for yourself.
    It's time to go THROUGH the wave...

  • Surfing Lesson 219: Worth Celebrating
    I spent the first 31 years of my life unable to truly celebrate myself.
    Who I am.
    What I want.
    What I stand for.
    What I am committed to.
    I didn't feel worth celebrating.
    Which made it impossible for me to truly celebrate others.
    To love others.
    Accept others.
    Support others.
    SEE others.
    CONNECT with others.
    Including Luci and my children.
    Today, I celebrate myself.
    EVERY SINGLE DAY.
    And I am able to truly, deeply CELEBRATE others every single day!
    In today's episode πŸŽ™, I'll share with you the number one issue that kept me from being able to celebrate myself!

  • Surfing Lesson 218: Ignoring the Signs
    Ignore the WARNING SIGNS at your own peril, AND, the peril of your FAMILY!
    I've spent all my life ignoring these signs
    And even just a couple days ago found myself ignoring the warning signs again
    Which has lead to extreme consequences.
    I used to think that ignoring signs that my body needs a recovery break only meant potential consequences for me.
    Or ignoring the guilt and shame I felt inside from habits that didn't align with my heart like video games, porn, and even SURFING...
    Only really impacted me.
    Boy did I miss the mark!
    In today's episode πŸŽ™, I'll share with you the significance that ignoring the signs has cost my family!

  • Surfing Lesson 217: Feeling Awkward Carrying My Board
    Where in your life do you feel awkward?
    Uncomfortable?
    I've had way too many "awkward" occasions in my lifetime
    Each one pointing me to a story I've been telling myself that no longer works for me
    A story that no longer supports me in creating the life and relationships that I want
    A story that robs me of confidence and certainty, presence and passion.
    From the unpopular way I sometimes carry my surfboard to the bashful eye contact I've wanted but often shyed away from
    I've had to battle my way through literally hundreds (yes, I've kept track and written HUNDREDS of them down!) of stories and lies that I've told myself for decades
    That quenched my soul
    And left me unable to fully accept and love myself
    Which further lead to me judging others while I let the guilt and shame from my judgments build under the surface of my heart.
    No wonder passion was such a struggle to grasp inside my marriage!
    No wonder I was stuck unable to powerfully connect with Luci at will!
    In today's episode πŸŽ™, I'll share with you the path to transform your awkward situations into freedom and connection!
    Get more PASSION. Get more CONNECTION.
