So this is a story from one of the last days I at job.

I want to share it as I feel that it has meaning and it is something that should be brought into attention.

I want to be clear that I am very grateful for this job, and for all three years this company has been great and I have learned a lot.

But sometimes things happen and this is the story of that. Please let me know what you think, I am going to share this in a positive way.

Today is my last day working at the bank and the Chipotle up here in Marin County.

It is a mix of emotions that I have today.

Some parts fear.

Some parts excitement.

Just a jumble of different feelings mixing together. What I do know for sure is that I am running toward this change, no drag here. So happy for the opportunity and blessed to have an amazing partner to share this with.

I have a favor to ask, if anyone is listening on apple podcasts if you could please leave an review and let me know what you think it would mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

So at work I am working with my replacement and really enjoying the time with him. I took some time and created him a word document that has a cheat sheet for him. The conversations that I had with him were really centered around building up his confidence. I have no doubts that he is going to really excel and exceed the expectations. But he lacks some confidence in his ability.

It gets me reflecting on my past as I help him and my confidence that had waned at times as well.

I also go into a snapshot of what this weekend is going to look like. Getting my car's tires replaced and going to an amazing restaurant here in San Rafael, Ca called " Sol Food", check it out if you are ever in the area.

Appreciate you taking the time to listen, if you are listening in apple podcast please leave me a review, that would be so cool. You know where to find me if there is ever anything I can do.

When I decided to go back to school it was not a popular decision at all.

And that is totally fine with me. I am doing it for my purpose and why. The bottom line is I am doing it for myself, and no one else.

I spent a lifetime living either in fear or conforming to what others wanted of me.

What decisions have you made that were not popular but will the best for you? How did they turn out, and what did everyone have to say after?

With all this change that has been occurring around me as I drive around my old home of Santa Rosa it brings up many feelings.

This has been my home pretty much my whole life.

Feelings and memories come flooding back to me.

If you have moved how did you process the memories, do you take the time to reflect back on where you lived?

It has been years since I really got to coach and train. It is something that I always enjoyed about my job at Best Buy.

Today and through this week I am able to train my replacement at Chipotle. So far it has been great and I feel it is a way for the Universe to let me know hey this is part of your why.

Being able to help level up someone and give them the tools to succeed brings me much energy.

This weekend was another example of how little my own parents support me.

That is totally ok, I am in a place where all I need is the support of my wife and myself.

But the question is for you, what do you do when you feel that no one supports you? What steps do you take to make your enviroment better?

Or do you do nothing and live around people that constantly want to level you down instead of up?

Take a moment and listen and then let me know what you would or will do.

I support all of you, just let me know how I can help you.

With me at the end of this move and starting a new story with my wife it has me reflecting back to when I was trapped within my own mindset.

A mindset that was negative and closed off.

I never thought I was worth anything than the retail job that I had. I was scared and living in a world of less than and frustration with myself that I took out on the world.

This is my reflection.

It has been three years working here and with me in the process of flipping the table of my life this was coming.

For me it is not just putting in my notice to work, put for an area that I have called home for almost thirty years. As I look around I see memories. Some good, some bad.

But I am excited to make new memories with my wife and create a new home.

I have completed my trip to Sacramento and I feel that is was very successful. I didn't leave with a job offer but I had two amazing conversations with the people that are hiring at each location and I have a shot.

That is all you can do. Put forth max effort, be positive and tell your story and the value you can share.

I did that. Now I cross my fingers. But also I move forward, there are always doors to open.

Never lose sight that in failure we can move forward and grow even more.
