January 04, 201668: How to Overcome the Work-Life Dilemma Without Sacrifice
Question for you, Young Lions: What’s more important: Work or Personal Life? I’m pretty sure most of you just jumped up and said: “AHA! That’s a trick question. The correct answer is Work-Life BALANCE!” But what if I told you that THAT’S a wrong answer as well? No matter how hard you try, you’ll never achieve true balance between work and life because it doesn’t exist!

On today’s episode of the Rusty Lion Podcast, my partner Bill and I (Robert) walk you through the illusion of balance between Work and Personal Life (and explain WHY it’s an illusion). There’s something most people miss about the so-called Work-Life balance and we’ll lift the veil up to reveal to you the truth about the place of each of these in our lives. But once you understand this important distinction? You’ll be well on your way to achieving unified success!

Roar and Takeaway:

December 31, 201567: Coaching for Success, with Marc Mawhinney
Today Young Lions, we have for you a coach of coaches. But he isn’t here to coach you on how to be a coach. No. He’s here to share with you the best advice on how to make it through even the most difficult of times in your life and come out a true winner.
Marc Mawhinney experienced first-hand the difficulties of starting a successful coaching business, and after months of banging his head against the wall, he figured out what works (and what doesn’t). As a result, he became committed to ensuring that other coaches don’t go through those same growing pains! Since 2014, he’s been hosting a daily podcast for coaches that shares strategies and valuable advice on how to find success in your professional life.
Join me (Robert) on today’s episode of the Rusty Lion Podcast to hear Marc share his journey and explain the steps you can also follow to build a successful business. Make sure you keep notes, Young Lions, because this is valuable stuff!

Marc’s Roar and Takeaway
“You have to keep your mind occupied. Fill it with as much good stuff as possible” @marcmawhinney via @Rustylionacademy (Tweet it out!)

December 28, 201566: The Courage Most Men Lack (and How to Dare Find It)
Know what the worst thing in life is? REGRETS! Regrets are the opportunities we were too scared to take but never stopped desiring. Regrets are would-be joys turned bitter remorses. And that's no way to live. Yet, most people reach the end of their lives with five common (and grave) regrets about life. And that's no way for a Young Lion to live.

On today’s episode of the Rusty Lion podcast, we’ll talk about those regrets so you can build a different path for your life. We’ll go over the 5 biggest regrets people frequently express on their deathbeds and discuss how you can avoid them. And remember that this isn’t just theory; as always, we’ll give you actionable steps you can take today to change your story and build an extraordinary life full of joy—not regrets.

Join Bill and me (Robert) as we challenge you to draw a line in the sand and step over it. And make sure you take notes! This is information you won’t want to miss or forget. Life isn’t easy, Young Lions, but with a little guidance it can be one hell of a ride!

Roar and Takeaway:

“There are two types of pain: the short-term pain of discipline and the long-term pain of regret” via @Rustylionacadmy (Tweet it out!)
When we ignore our emotions, we end up living a mediocre existence with unrealized potential.
