What are you put on this planet to do?

Chances are you never really dove into that question with yourself. Even further, when something around you caught your eye, did you persue it or just admire from afar?

Every day we are given a chance to live our purpose and create our best lives. The only obstacle in front of us is the face we see in the mirror every morning.

What is your mindset? How disciplined are you with your routine?

Just listening to Sergio Loaiza, you can tell he has asked himself these questions many times and in many ways.

Being the founder of Pro Bros Production is just the tip of the iceberg for Sergio. He is a Photographer, Cinematographer, Marketer, Emcee, Visionary, Traveler, Explorer, and all around Good Guy!

You can’t sit in a room with Sergio and not get inspired.

Take a listen as we discuss the importance of a growth mindset and living with purpose. Sergio and I go deep on a number of topics as we recap hist story and share some valuable advice from our experiences.

This is an episode where we pull back the curtains a little bit and open up to our viewers.

Matt Snipes joins the panel this go around as we all share some of the biggest challenges we’ve gone through in our lives.

It’s easy to see someone and assume they have it all figured out. Things may look good on the outside but the reality is, we all have our struggles.

Part of being a Modern Man, I believe, is about acknowledging these struggles and pushing through them. Using your dark days to make the bright days that much brighter.

I hope my story, Tylers‘ Story, Charles‘ or Matts‘ story resonates with you and helps you push past your dark days.

“It’s not about what happens to you. It’s about how you react to what happens to you.”

Go out there and make the best of your current situation. I know it isn’t easy, but one day you’ll look back and thank yourself for being so strong.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to hear our stories. Please feel free to share some struggles of your own in the comments below.

Enjoy this episode of The Modern Man featured on No Rain… No Rainbows.

Have you ever given yourself completely to a goal and done everything in your power to make it come to fruition?

If so, you know the frustration and depression that comes with speed bumps and set backs along the way. It can almost be unbearable at times.

For Robert Smith, the feeling of resistance was all to real.

Early Life

Born in St. George, South Carolina, Rob took to sports quickly at a young age. His skills and ability would land him on the varsity football team at Woodland High School. All eyes would be on him as he lined up behind center under the lights each week.

Talent might have gotten him the shot, but his work ethic is what attracted the spotlight. Robert would go on to receive a dozen scholarship offers by his Junior year. All but one school would go back on their word after Robert suffered a torn ACL that same season.

It wouldn’t take long for the schools to return as Robert would show-out his senior year, proving to the scouts and doubters that he is far from done with the game of football.

Clemson Football

From one challenge to another, Robert makes the transition from Quarterback to Safety while attending Clemson University. Despite the adjustment, Robert would once again use his tenacious work ethic and faith to beat the odds and ultimately become one of the best of his craft.

The next level was the NFL and it was closer now than ever before. That goal Robert and his dad had set years prior was within reach.

The Next Level

Just when things were looking their best, the reality of politics and business began to shine. Robert would travel from workout to workout, team to team and spend countless hours proving his worth at the next level.

Fighting through a mild depression, uncertainty and frustration, Robert would give his full self to his faith and let God take the wheel. A chance encounter would lead Robert to a meeting with a publishing company that would trigger the same love in his heart he first felt with football.

Trust The Process

Using the same “Get After It” mentality Robert would go on to find success with N2 Publishing opening his own franchise and is already working on a second one. With focus and drive, Robert knows that his blessings are just beginning.

Looking back at his story and seeing how far he has come, Robert has just one thought…

“God Never Says ‘Oops'”

This is just a brief summary of the in-depth and detailed story that has led to Robert Smith’s current success. If you want to hear a true “No Rain… No Rainbows” story, do yourself a favor and hit play!

Robs story will inspire you to give everything you have to your goal and trust the path you’re on. You never know, you just might be surprised at where you end up.

I hope you enjoy this episode of “No Rain… No Rainbows.”

It’s time for another raindrop!

This week I want to talk about the importance of ending your day with a plan.

I know we hear all the time about the importance of a morning routine. But what about your evening routine? I would argue that the end of your day is slightly more important than the start of it.

The reason is because your evening is what sets up your morning!

For me, I need my clothes picked out, my day mapped out and my lunch packed before I call it a night. It allows me to fully utilize the time I have during the day and execute the task as hand.

If I don’t plan accordingly, I am setting myself up for failure. PERIOD!

With that being said, todays tip is to write down your plans for the next day each night before you go to sleep. Use your google calendar to keep track of all your meetings, lunches and obligations.

Seriously, I even have my meditation and work programed in it!

Make this a habit and before you know it, it will become second nature. Use this to fully take advantage of the time you have during the day and cut down on time wasted thinking about the next thing you have to do.

I hope this helps! Comment below with any other tips you may have!
