Vulnerability is our ability to connect with our true-self and align our behavior with our core values. Vulnerability today may be seen as weakness, showing emotion or openly discussing your failures, challenges and scars. In order to connect and inspire humans you have to be one. All humans have their moments of pain and conflict that can be strategically used to not only connect with others but also show people who you really are and what you bring to the world.

We say things happen as a coincidence yet what if it was actually all planned? The Universe, higher power, spiritual energy whatever you would like to call it speaks to us in ways that if we aren't aware of may miss. If we miss these signs, people and moments we are missing out on answers and guidance from a higher power. This may be a little out of what you want to believe but why not believe in something that is here to reassure you that you're on the right path? That sounds somewhat helpful in this thing we call life.

We will all have moments of stressful and anxious thinking. The key is making a decision of how long we want this negative thinking to have control over us. Using a combative technique that fights against these negative emotions we can manage the duration of time we experience these feelings. In this episode I explain this technique and show real examples of how I have used it in my life. This technique will give you complete control over where you direct your attention regarding stressful and anxious thoughts. Simply put...this is life changing.

What are the three things that everyone wants? Some may say happiness, success, love, prosperity...and the list goes on. What if we went even deeper?

Mental McDonalds is a term we use to describe the negative mental input we feed our minds from old limiting beliefs, mainstream news and social media. If we start to consistently feed our bodies McDonalds, we will start to see a decline in our physical health. The same concept applies to our mind and mental health. In this episode I outline the value that both the actual McDonalds and social media (Mental McDonalds example) bring to our lives and the negative long-term effects we are unconscious to. 

What can you teach me? If someone was to ask you this, what would you say? I asked this question to 3 individuals and the answers I got were not what I was expecting. In this episode I outline the 3 answers I received from asking this question and what it showed me. We are all far richer intellectuals than we think, and these answers show why.

Time Management is a concept that is misunderstood. Time is like the weather, it's always there and we must work around it and with it in order to utilize it. Priorities are what we decide to make that time consist of. When we reflect on priority management vs time management, we can see what we apply our time to. In this episode I deconstruct the concept of time and introduce priority management as the new tool for managing our days.  

This past weekend I along with other brave souls tackled the 4x4x48 challenge. This challenge was created by Ex-Navy Seal David Goggins and challenges participants to run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. This was hard...really hard, and in this episode, I explain the thoughts that were going through my mind during the runs and workouts and a lesson the challenge taught me around the freedom we are so lucky to have.

Limiting beliefs are the beliefs we decide to have in our mind that limit or restrict us in some way. This is what we tell ourselves we are not capable of. We all have them and received these limiting beliefs from family, friends, teachers and coaches. In this episode I outline and exercise to help weaken the limiting beliefs you have placed on yourself by making a decision and then finding evidence that supports that decision. This exercise is courtesy of David Bayer who showed me this practice in his Phenomenon 2022 mindset event.
