On today's Friday Fire I talk about how I have been able to manifest my dream life. Too often I think people consider the term 'manifest' as mystic or not real, though I think of it more like taking a dream, and creating an action play to turn it into reality.

On today's Friday Fire I look into how re live in a world of comparison, though that leads us into a unachievable world of blending in while trying to stand out. Instead of continually comparing, being proud of the fact that we are all made to be unique. Be you and proud to be you!

On today's Friday Fire I discuss the whole idea being emotional energy and how we all portray our emotional energy to the world. This is why when we smile the world smiles back at us. People are emotional creatures and pick up on what energy you put out there. So take a listen and think what kind of energy do you bring to the world?

"My definition of awesome is definitely living within your passion. So for me it's painting and it's laughing and I like to do both a lot." - Rachel Rickert

Today I had the absolute blast of sitting down and speaking with a phenomenal artist Rachel Rickert as we discuss her journey and how she followed her dreams and encourages us all to get uncomfortable and follow and find our own passions. Rachel also lays out a blueprint for how an upcoming artist or anyone truly, can take a passion and turn it into a profession. This was a very fun, encouraging and heart felt conversation that applies to us all.

This week I had the pleasure to sit down and talk in person with arguably the Worlds greatest kayaker, Dane Jackson. We talk all about what Dane has been up to lately with his recent expedition to Kenya, as well as some of his race winning strategies for North Fork Championships, Green Race and the Oetz Trophy. We also did something new for this episode as I took questions from listeners via Instagram to ask what you all would like to know including how Dane deals with fear. This was a super fun conversation and tons of value as Dane openly shares his keys to his success within the sport of kayaking.

On todays Friday Fire I discuss the idea behind the quote - "all you can do is all you can do." It is a simple quote and thought, though is also spurns the inner response question, "am I doing all I can?" It is a great moment to stop and self analyze can I do more?
