Hey GSG friends, I've been trying to record Episode 14 today to no avail - my voice is leaving me. Here is a short, short update just to keep everyone updated. We will resume normal recording as soon as my voice returns!

In the first episode of Get Some Grit in this new year, Bruce talks about his "leave of absence" from the show, his 2015 holiday season, and a new outlook for 2016. Lots of good stuff in this episode, if you're OK with really honest and frank talk! Enjoy! Are you enjoying the show? Tell a friend!

In episode 009, Bruce takes a moment to look back on the "Yes" moments of his life that might easily have been "No" moments if fear had taken over his desire for something more. How often do the "No" answers you give come from a place of fear rather than reality? Are you enjoying the show? Tell a friend!

In episode 8, Bruce discusses the importance of vulnerability in our lives, the traits we have that get in the way of vulnerability, and why it's so important to embrace vulnerability in all parts of our lives. This episode is inspired and based on the TED Talk below, hosted by Dr. Brene Brown, author and research professor at the University of Houston.

In Episode 7, Bruce sits down during his "Miracle Morning" to record the FOURTH attempt at this episode! Topics include reactions to Hal Elrod's GREAT book, "The Miracle Morning" and how a friend's family tragedy has given new urgency to a familiar struggle, plus more.

Episode 6 is a bit of mashup and a little diversion from the normal chatty format. I offer some insight into my thoughts on negativity vs pessimism and a request to listeners for help. Don't worry...I'm not asking for money!!!

In Episode 5, I take a few minutes to discuss how an emotional heart problem we face in today's hyper-connected world is blocking us from communicating effectively with each other - and how we can break the cycle!

In Episode 4, Bruce discusses how worry can cripple a person's ability to live their life at the fullest. When worry fuels your energy and drive, it is a recipe for disaster. By focusing on gratitude rather than worry, there is a shift in your thinking that happens almost immediately.

In episode 3, Bruce uses a quote by Woodrow Wilson and a short passage from the Bible New Testament book of 1 Corinthians to demonstrate the "instructions" he has found for defining his role as one half of a long distance relationship. "You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." - Woodrow Wilson "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV) Are you enjoying the show? Tell a friend!
