On the heels of finishing Carol Dweck's book Growth Mindset I discuss my philosophy on how to pivot when we get stuck in the grooves our environment teaches us.  Adopting a growth mindset and expanding your consciousness allows for total optimization.

Did you ever think you'd have an identity crisis after leaving the military or another organization that you deeply identified with?  Scott Leeper is doing tons of good work in this arena.  He is a veteran of the Marine Corps and now a veteran mindset coach.  We discuss the transformation of his life and other topics that have allowed him to transcend from the military to helping others find their purpose in life.  You can find his work below.

Some of us learn lessons in life through experience.  Others are able to learn from others.  In fact, it has been my experience that we are all a combination of both.  In this episode my friend Ralph talks about his great and high achievements as a young man and how he had some hard lessons to learn along the way.  He focuses heavily on his family, his work, remaining humble and understanding that there is a person on the other side of anything we do in life.  It is my pleasure to share his story and wisdom with you.

Shawn Isbell is the Command Master Chief aboard USS Bataan LHD-5.  He specifically asked me not to push his biography because he is a humble man and servant leader.  What I will tell you is that he has had an impeccable career of service and that what he has learned through that time in the Navy and in his personal is making a profound and well needed impact.  We discuss some very difficult and important topics that I know you will find value in.  Standby to Motivate With Iz!

"Life requires us to make adjustments, to change course. Some years, when the waters of your life are calm and you feel a sense of control at the helm, you'll race hard, and hope for personal bests. Other years, beset by a perfect storm of turbulence, you'll have to settle for less. That's okay. Less is still something; just don't surrender and abandon ship." - Amby Burfoot
