Mic check Mic Check...is this on?

Welcome back! It's been a minute and a half since we've been last been here and for good reason! We took a hiatus to rest, retool, and reignite the spark that was lost for a moment or ten to be honest. 

The struggle is real

The challenges are numerous

But the love is still there and ready to press [RESET] and move into a new season with more to bring to the table. 

This is just a short intro but we wanted to make sure that the transparency switch was on to clarify where we've been and where we are going.

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your support. Now let's get this work together

Ladies and gentlemen, you are now in the building with Coach K

And Welcome Back!

Question: what is the common denominator between a cup of coffee and a glass of water? They both have the power to energize you! Despite one being bitter yet savoury to some and the other being refreshing yet boring to others, they both can impact your day, providing you with what you need to succeed right now.

Do you know what else has the power to energize you? WORDS

On today’s episode of The First 5IVE, Coach K breaks down the powerful effects of words and just how positively impactful they can be even if they contain a bitter aftertaste

Remember: you have the choice to let words hype you or hurt you. Always choose what’s going to be to your benefit and not to your detriment

Head High

Heart Full

Ten Toes Down

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now back in the building with Coach K

Good Morning!

What does PERSISTENCE mean to you?

The 2021 Goal Crushing Tour continues with the topic of the power of persistence

Being persistent requires you to continue continuously until what is desired is achieved

Being persistent means you don’t stop

You keep walking, you keep running, you keep moving, you keep trying, you keep pushing, pulling, pursuing, pressing on, motioning forward and not allowing anything or anyone to distract or derail you

Join us as we break down why we need to keep that SAME ENERGY toward our goals every day

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now in the building with Coach K

Good Morning Team!

On this morning's episode, we ask the question: WHO INSPIRES YOU?

I'm all for giving people their flowers while they can smell them and while they can be appreciated. Oftentimes, we give credit where it's due to the people we love and the teachers, team leaders, coaches, friends, family members, and others who have impacted our lives in some way after they have left us. It's time to break that cycle

Join Coach K as he answers the question of who inspires him, why he's grateful for them, and how they have contributed to his growth and progression.

CALL to ACTION: identify and write down 3 people that inspire you currently or have been an inspiration to you in some form or fashion; how they’ve contributed to your past, present, and future growth; what makes them stand out to you? Why are you grateful for them? Take time to send them a text, give them a call or a card, and thank them for what they've done for you

Ladies and gentlemen, you are now in the building with Coach K

The First 5IVE Ep 12 | Time is On Your Side

Can 17 Seconds of pure positive thought really change your life? Sounds like it wouldn’t be enough right? According to the Law of Attraction, Author Abraham Hicks says 68 seconds is needed to manifest whatever our dominant thoughts are. Could this be a bogus claim or is there truth behind the numbers?

We may never know for sure but one thing is certain - just like any action that is desired to be carried out, positive thinking requires action. Is a possible to change our dominant train of thought despite being surrounded by the opposite, day in and day out?

Listen up as Coach K explores this time challenge and encourages you to do the same.

Good morning Team

AND WE ARE BACK! After a much needed temporary hiatus, Coach K has returned, recharged, refreshed, and ready to motivate, inspire, empower, encourage, educate, and energize YOU the listener to put in line for a great day ahead

Another day breeds another opportunity to embrace obstacles and foster opportunities for growth and progression, to build, drive, and be driven one step closer to your goals and objectives

It’s also another opportunity to acknowledge the importance of CONSISTENCY in your daily routine. Some people will define being consistent as being boring, monotonous, and/or repetitive but it’s actually the opposite

Moving in a consistent manner enables you to see just how valuable the process really is and that if you want to get the most out it, you have keep going, keep going, keep going, and keep going, even if it means being uncomfortable, being unfamiliar, and sometimes experiencing the unfriendly fruits of change

But, if you want to make change happen, you have to be willing to break a bill

Allow me to reintroduce myself - ladies and gentlemen, you are now back in the building once again with Coach K

WARNING: this is the extended episode of The First 5IVE. Please be aware that it exceeds its usual 5:15 threshold but for good reason

4 words: DON’T EVER GIVE UP

If you are a coach, trainer, teacher, leader, educator, teammate, parent, or someone who has the ability to move people to keep fighting and keep going and keep growing, you at some point have echoed these sentiments to someone

.

You’ve used this combination of words in some form or fashion, in person, written letter, text, email, IG or FB post to help individuals in need of a push to continue moving forward even when:

- the struggle is realer than ever

- when the end doesn’t seem close enough

- when the breaking point is on deck literally

- when all else seems to be failing or falling

.

Listen up as Coach K uses the inspiration from others to motivate, inspire, and empower YOU the listener today

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now BACK in the building with Coach K

Special Guest: King KLV, Music Artist, Montreal, Canada

To have your talents recognized, acknowledged, and appreciated is a challenging feat. But with confidence, a desire to show, prove, and improve, and a solid love for what you do and produce, it won’t be long before your efforts lead to opportunities

I had the privilege of sitting down with such a talent in this interview. Despite being a fan of music, namely hip-hop, for over 30 years, you never know how much hard work and hustle goes into making a big dream become reality.

Join me as we chop it up with King KLV, a solidly versed up and coming artist hailing from Montreal, Canada, as we discuss the challenges that come with the business, who inspires him to keep working, and where he’s heading next! Be on the lookout for his new album Dope Boy Diaries which drops shortly!

Guest: Dwayne Williams (@whatmenneedtosay)

Mental Health has been an ongoing theme on The Hustler’s Journal with several conversations surrounding the topic of anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, and more, from various guests who have shared their insight and personal experiences

As we approach the 1-Year anniversary of the Pandemic, the topic continues to generate dialogue and start conversations with people that we may have never thought were affected in some way, shape or form, simply because we didn’t have time to sit down and listen

Joining us this week is Dwayne Williams, another guest who fits in that category but has now made changes in his own life in order to share his experiences and continue the conversation. He is a father of 2 and author of the blog What Men Need to Say. Check out the latest episode of the podcast as he shares his insight, stress management strategies, and what was the tipping point for him to open up.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you are now in the building with Coach K

As always, on behalf of The Hustler’s Journal podcast, we would like to thank everyone who takes the time to listen and support our conversations and interviews and to also extend a special shoutout to everyone who is going through challenging times right now. Even if we don’t see you, we hear you, we feel you, and we love you.
