The Art of Awesome

On todays episode I get to speak with the Gilad Karni about blending the two opposing forces of high level achievement and spirituality. Gilad has an incredible history of both high level achievement and spirituality with time spent in the Israeli special forces, a decade long career in professional basketball, and a transition into leadership and business coaching. I found this to be a truly insightful conversation filled why many thought provoking questions and ideas to help each of us level up in business, sports and life.

This week I had the pleasure to sit down and talk in person with arguably the Worlds greatest kayaker, Dane Jackson. We talk about Dane's recent winner at the Green Race and breaking the 4-Minute Barrier. This time limit was very much like Kayaking version of Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile back in 1954. Similar to running a sub 4 minute mile, many people weren't sure if you could paddle the Green Race course in under 4 minutes. Listen as we dive into Dane's training, mindset and tactics to achieving this feat.

On todays Friday Fire I talk about the concept behind staying left of the but. The next time you say "I need to get in shape, but I don't have time" stay left of the but and stick with the idea and concept and change it from "but I can't" to "and I will figure out a way." Try this the next time you you have an idea but your self doubt kicks in.

On todays episode I get to speak with the Tony Robinson about breaking through barriers and achieving your goals in finance, parenting and fitness. Tony is a real estate investor with a focus on Short Term rentals, as well as a host from the Bigger Pockets Rookie Podcast. Though our conversation goes way beyond real estate and investing as Tony shares his insight and lessons learned from becoming a parent at 16 years old and overcoming the obstacles that come with that, hustling through life and achieving financial freedom by 30 years old, and now taking his lessons and applying them to body building as well. Tony truly shares so many nuggets of gold and amazing insight, and I'm excited to share this, as this conversation is of my most favorite recent episodes.

On todays Friday Fire I talk about the idea of setting up a rainy day fund. The beauty of saving a little of extra cash is that it gives you options in the future, whether you want to quit your job and start a business or have some extra funds for security in hard times, or simply to donate it and be generous. So no matter what you do, pay yourself first, put a little money a side and start your rainy day fund today.

On todays Friday Fire I discuss the idea of criticism being a nugget of gold, as it hurts if it hits you in the head, though if you analyze it you are left with pure gold, as it can also be a blueprint to becoming better. So next time someone throws shade or criticism your way, stop listen and figure out how to use it to strengthen yourself so the next time they can critique you the same way.
