Setbacks, Inconveniences, and Discouragement are never an easy experience. However, the experience often results in a stronger version of the self when it’s all said and done. It’s just tough to see the end, when you’re going through it. 

In today’s episode I discuss the difficult challenges I faced last year and the impact they had on my life today, as well some insight into re-framing the way we look at hard times. I encourage you to check it out, if you’re going through a period of adversity. Thanks for listening! 

Anxiety is a thief of opportunity and personal breakthrough and so many of us tend to struggle with it on a daily basis. However, developing a greater sense of confidence provides a new kind of strength against even the harshest anxiety. In this episode, I discuss some strategies for empowering your own self confidence in areas of struggle. 

In today’s episode I discuss some useful insight and strategy to help break the habit of procrastinating when you’re faced with things that need to get done, or even more so- goals you are looking to achieve. 

Procrastination is something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember, in ways that were debilitating to some extent. I always had this belief that it was this unchangeable characteristic of who I was and who I was meant to be. 

But part of changing for the better is acknowledging, confronting, and aiming to understand areas that need growth, in a way that allows for greater breakthrough and victory. 

I really encourage you to check it out, if this is an area you feel you’re struggling with! 

As always hope you enjoy! 

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and bandmate Tyler Johnston and talk all about balancing inspiration and comparison in our creative endeavors. 

We discuss ways in which we’ve struggled  with the negative effects of social media, dealing with our own insecurities, and practices we’ve put in place for developing a healthier approach to our passions. 

As always, hope you enjoy! 

Note: The Audio is a bit echoey, due to the way we recorded. 

-New Podcast Episode- 

Oftentimes in our creative, business, or fitness related pursuits we tend to experience a somewhat debilitating form of discouragement. One that challenges our love and our passion for what it is we’re doing, even to a point where we contemplate giving up. 

In this episode, I discuss my belief that when you return to the roots of why you started in the first place, there is an opportunity to reignite, renew, and restore your vision! 
Hope you enjoy it!

This episode was entirely unplanned. So much so that it was recorded in an empty gym, right after a run on the treadmill. 
However, the topic was weighing heavily on my mind and felt I should take advantage of it and bring it to light. We are up against a wild time, but hope powers through all seasons. I hope this encourages you and brings about a greater peace of mind! 

*FYI- the audio is a little rough, this was unknowingly recorded through the mic of my headphones(I could’ve sworn I turned them off)that were further away from where I placed my phone.
