This episode, starts with the confession, I never wanted to be a teacher of improv, I was content with just being a consumer, and a performer.  But my world changed when I reluctantly took the opportunity to teach.  And I am forever thankful I did.  In this episode I share how that effected my belief system and how you can increase how you believe in yourself.  Here is what this episode covers.

 I am so incredibly excited for this episode because, I have one of my favorite people on the planet, a woman I love...my wife!

For those of you who don't know we co-own recycled minds, a training center in Idaho, where we teach classes and principles on improv comedy. And We each have traveled all around the world, sharing a lot of the principles that we have learned. Recently we each went through one of the most excruciating and beautiful and drastic things a human being can go through. I'm talking cloning our own selves the natural way... Yep child birth.  Thats right we were bringing our son into the world.  And after the 24 min. mark you might be getting some of the biggest knowledge drop for those of you who want a huge pointer when getting your mind set delivering a child, it's here!  It's so fun having Colleen On this episode. Don't worry it's not graphic, it might be heartfelt and as always we talk about : business, working with your spouse, being purposeful w our time.  Enjoy as we fight to listen to one another better and live life to the full. Enjoy!

In this episode, I am fighting to stay awake, as I am at the break of exhaustion , sharing why my world has changed for ever. I am… a dad!

If I sound a little sleepy it's because it's real, and If you were to listen this episode sped up a tick... I wouldn't even mind.

In this episode I introduce my son to all you listeners, and talk about how being a dad for just 2 for short weeks it has really reminded me that while everything is for you, it’s not all about you. In a world where you want the best for you and your family, you also have to work at not being selfish. If you are planning on expecting a kid… I share the one thing I would not do with out! I cover a lot of things that I discovered in my first two weeks of being a father, and obviously I still have a ton to learn.  Here are my 3 main points.

3 things that I have learned being a dad.

Many of us are unaware of what we are truly capable of.  Part of that reason is because we don't actually know what we want.  When we discover what we want, it helps us discover more of who we are.  Knowing that, will help us fight to get what we want.  Grab a hold of  the grit that you need to get you from where you are to where you want to be.  Be empowered in this episode as I (Sean Hancock) give you some simple and reflective tools that can help you dive into the questions you want to ask yourself to get what you want, and be more aware of what you are thinking about and who you are.  And I don't think I can get out of this episode with out a little bit of controversy. So please don't take offense, but rather give me a little room to have a conversation so we can better see ourselves and the culture around us.  Hope you enjoy this episode and as always please share this episode if you got something out of it, and would like others to get some great things too!

One of my all time favorite football players was Barry Sanders. A 5'8'' Pro Bowler player who won the Heisman Trophy.  He was known for his abilities to cut on a dime and change his course from where he was going to where he needed to go in order to avoid tacklers and score touchdowns in football games.  How does this apply to improv comedy, and business.... Ohhh just you wait and see! Enjoy the gold and wisdom we can learn from how Barry played the game, and how the simply parallels can effect us on life's stages.   Also there is a little bonus application for those having a hard time knowing "there end zone" or end goals.  Enjoy this helpful question seeking opportunity toward the end of the podcast to help get you asking the right questions for yourself on what your direction in life you want to head in.
