Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #129 “CELEBRATE AGING!” Yes, CELEBRATE AGING. Not lament or regret or fear or acceptance of false information or what THEY say about it. Like Richard Pryor said once in his amazing stand-up routine: “You don’t get to be old, being no FOOL!” Meaning if you lasted this long, you must be doing something right. So, this podcast episode celebrates those folks that may not be hearing strong praise anymore, or hearing how great a job they did. But as someone who has made his way through the dark tunnel and made it happily to daylight… whether recognition comes from others or not, it does not stop me from recognizing the wonderful accomplishment myself. This gentle reminder and positive topic for consideration is presented here from a Happy Camper, an OG, a Seasoned Player and a Grateful human being. If you have made your way forward or know someone else who has… give ‘em a hug and recognize in whatever way you like but recognize excellence when you see it. Then recognize it in yourself as well. Keep Moving Forward!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #128 “LEADER VERSUS BOSS!” Ok. This episode is a Hot One! It has a bit of steam coming from its head and it could possibly stimulate conversation. Whenever we think or talk about how we treat each other and how we define our positions in the hierarchy of social existence, some people have varyingly different perspectives than some others. This always seems to contribute to us not getting along as well as we could, and certainly not being as effective as we could be either. The goal of this podcast is always about growth, development and some level of mastery. This episode is just another brick in the wall. Take a listen, think a thought, and come up with your own sense of who’s the “Boss” and who’s “The Leader!” Then choose which one you follow, or which one you are.

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #126 “LESS TALKIN’ MORE WALKIN’!” This week’s episode is partly about doing what you say you will do, keeping your word, and that you should make distinct efforts to not just talk about it, but BE ABOUT IT! This simply means that we have commitments to others that we should not waste time talking around or making excuses about, but remembering that ‘your word is your bond!’ And, we also have commitments to ourselves that are even more important to keep. One of those commitments is to take care of our minds and bodies. Yes, sometimes easier said than done, but the phrase ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’ comes to mind as a simple reminder to get in, and keep your body in gear. So, this humble podcast message is simple… Plan your work, work your plan, and remember that the possible reason we have two ears, and one mouth is so we can listen and keep walkin’ more than we evade and keep talkin’!”

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #125 “YOU ARE ENERGY!” …STILL! This week’s episode is for you. The reminder that you are full of energy… still! That you can do what you are blessed to do. That you can still climb. That you are very firmly still you, with no doubt… no it’s definite! “You know like you game like you’re reffin’  it!” That you have come a long way. And that YOU still have a long way to go! And, oh yes, you still have that raging fire in your belly, as you always have and YOU are a survivor. You are resilient, you are benevolent, you are inspiring and you have the tools and intention to make it to the places you’ve chosen to go. When you see you in the mirror… tell them I said Yo! Because we all seem to be thinking the same powerful thoughts…THAT WE ARE STILL IN ‘DA GAME! And the game has been, and still is… FUN!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #124 “ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS!” …SO, YOU CAN COME UP WITH THE BEST ANSWERS. What does this week’s episode title mean to you? There is one of the questions right there… What’s up with you?... what are your hard questions? And do they have answers yet? What Matters Most to you! What do you stand for! What are you working toward and how will you get there? Look at all the question marks in this Podcast episode introduction this week. It might be possible that here today, this Sunday, there are more questions than answers about some things…. But we may be more certain than ever about some others. I have found it important to check in with the person staring back in the mirror. I have learned from experience, that to Be Yourself is to Free Yourself from so many restrictions. Last week was a “Moment of Reflection” … Maybe this week is too!

A Moment of Reflection.

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #121 “LEARNING TO APOLOGIZE! …And How Mastering This Art May Make You a Better Leader!!” What’s in an apology? Why does it matter if we do or if we don’t. Does an apology save the world. Is it more important to try to make amends, or is it better sometimes to be quiet and let’s things “go away on their own?” It’s been said that time heals all, and that if you wait long enough, everything has a way of working itself out …and better to ‘remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to speak up along the way and confirm it.’ However, this cross-section of thoughts and ideas are worthy of research and coming to a conclusion we can live with. Listen in to this week’s podcast and see where you land on the issue.

https://conta.cc/3XwXYvwWelcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #120 "HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” …And Make a Decision. This episode was based on personal perspective and the thoughts surrounding personal growth. In the final analysis, each of us needs to discover where we want to go in our lives and how we plan to get there. However, getting along with other people on the way is super important as well. I think this concept of building bridges and finding ways to connect successfully with others is an important part of finding one’s way to success. I’ve been told that being a beast, and being self-centered to climb the success ladder is an important key, but I have realized personally that I’d rather find things in common and work together, as opposed to tearing everyone else down to make it. Sure, sometimes you must fight for your rights, and yes, sometimes the playing field may not be fair and equitable, but either way… we must work with each other anyway, so we might as well find ways to meet minds. Being a father is like that too! You can’t always have every- single-thing your way and sometimes you are compelled to apologize for fighting too hard to be RIGHT on your parental watch. I’m proud of that particular learning lesson, because it makes me feel like I gave my sons a fair deal. Also, they have probably learned a few things from me in that regard along the way. “Learn from the mistakes of others, you can’t live long enough to make them all yourself!” Happy Father's Day, Men... we love you!
