Tom Kelly is a spiritual badass, plain and simple. His story of going from a partying surfer in Santa Barbera to a 26 years living in an ashram as a monk is a true love story. He is that rare person who is 100% dedicated to his life’s purpose and makes no apologies of chasing a life of mindfulness, happiness and love. Tom’s life of mindful living as a monk, as a surfer and a yogini is truly inspiring. Tom was also one of the most popular speakers at the Hero Up Summit this past November in San Diego as well. His infectious personality and straight forward approach to happiness (without the ‘woo-woo’) locks you in as soon as you hear him talk.

Check it out and you’ll learn:

* How to live mindfully every day * How one book changed his life (even when he wasn’t ready) * How to recognize and appreciate the ‘divine conspiracies’ in your life right now * The power of the red stickers…

Recording Behind the Scenes - Tricia showed up in a cupcake shirt for a podcast about health:) When I asked her why she said her husband did the laundry in their house and he was gone so she didn’t have much to wear. - Ozzie (her dog) sat in her lap the entire show and didn’t make a sound. Pretty cool little dude. - We spent a good deal of time talking about my love of Toblerone. - We talked about how much social pressure social media puts on people to eat cool looking but crappy food.

You don’t have to be a Buddhist monk to live intentionally.

And examples of people living intentionally are all around us if we we open our eyes to them.

Such is the case with Alex Longoria, a General Manager at Philz Coffee in Encinitas. I’ve know Alex a few months now from going into Philz and getting my green tea (with extra mint) every day. We’ve always chatted about sports, the weather or whatever and he always seemed in a genuinely good mood. One day I asked him what he liked most about working there.

I was blown away by his response.

He said he loved working at Philz because it gave him a chance to positively impact dozens of people’s lives every single day. He had an opportunity to make someone’s life better with every order based on how he treated them. It wasn’t just what he said, it was the way he said it. You could tell he truly meant it and he was 100% focused on making his customers as happy as possible.

So I invited him on the podcast to talk about living intentionally. We talk about mindfulness and why loving what you do daily is so important. We also talk about Philz Coffee and GoodOnYa and how they’ve managed to create a thriving business by focusing on employee & customer happiness first and profit second.

Here’s what you’ll learn on the podcast:

What you should never do in a coffee shop (you’ll be surprised)

Why faith and confidence are the biggest keys to an epic life

How intentional living translates into love

Why watching make-up tutorials could be the best relationship advice to follow if you’re a guy

Why I hate hockey and how we both define ‘hipsters’

Check it out and I hope you enjoy the episode.

The roles of manhood have changed. Guys all over the world are shattering common definitions of what it means to be a man. It’s ok to share your feelings, be vulnerable and create your own story. It takes brave men to re-define the traditional roles of manhood and today we’re lucky to have one on our show. Our guest today, Jared Little, is the perfect embodiment of the new modern day man. He is: A two-time NCAA Division One National Champion lacrosse player (Virginia)

A former pastor who was called to ministry early in life

A man who chooses to stay home raising his kids while his wife pursues a corporate career

An entrepreneur, coach, writer, father, and husband

Jared is a true modern day man in the sense that he’s actively creating the life he wants while being a family man and entrepreneur. He’s chosen to buck convention and not allow society to dictate how he lives and what he believes. I’ve interviewed tons of people on this podcast and what stands out about Jared is his unwavering commitment to his beliefs. He believes what he believes, lives his life that way and doesn’t really worry or care what anyone else thinks. I believe there are great lessons you can learn from him so I think you’ll really dig listening to Jared today. JARED’S LESSONS Surround yourself with good people

Be vulnerable with your insecurities

Find time for yourself (reflect & hang out)

Read every day, at least 10 pages

Take care of/know your wife & kids

Let things die to be able to move on

Be unafraid of bucking traditional views of manhood

“Nobody is going to fight for you. You have to fight for yourself”

https://www.rainn.org/statistics (Statistics state that every 98 seconds someone in the US is sexually assaulted. And every 8 minutes that victim is a child.) This is my story of sexual abuse and how I overcame what happened to me when I was a kid. It’s raw, unedited and in many ways still very painful to tell. You’ll probably be able to tell in the audio times when I was having a hard time getting words out. I apologize for the delivery but the message is important. I choose to record it today because Chester Bennington from the band Linkin Park committed suicide yesterday. They are a favorite of mine and I’ve been listening to them for a long time. He had often spoken about being sexually abused as a kid and his story was eerily similar to mine. When I heard he passed it really shook me. It spurred me to record this podcast- one that I’ve wanted to for a very long time but couldn’t bring myself to do until today. My sincerest hope in recording this podcast is that it helps one person. I hope the vast majority of you turn it off in the beginning because it just doesn’t apply to your life. For those of you that it does I hope that by telling you my story it helps in some way. The episode is broken down into: My story - what happened, when & where and what I felt and lost as a result

What didn’t work for me- how I tried to manage it (unsuccessfully)

What DID work for it- the steps and actions I took to recover

Adice for you if you’ve had a similar experience or someone close to you has

I hope this podcast is helpful. *This podcast is dedicated to my Mom, my Dad and Tom. Thank you for always being there and for the love and support you’ve given me unequivocally everyday of my life. Links: https://www.rainn.org/ (RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline)
