Think Bigger Podcast

Do you ever feel like life is just passing you by? That you’re sitting there watching the world around you move and you’re not moving with it? That instead of feeling like you’re in the driver’s seat controlling the direction and speed of your life, that you’re sitting in the passenger seat unable to control anything and you just kinda of exist on the journey rather than controlled it? In this episode we explore this feeling that SO MANY of us have had or are currently having. It’s time to stop being the passenger AKA the victim of circumstance… we are not helpless, we need to take back control of our vehicle and get back in the driver’s seat - that’s what we talk about in this episode!

The three most profound gifts that any of us will ever be given is what we discuss in this new episode of the Think Bigger Podcast. Additionally, we go over T as she continues to battle breast cancer (her story is shared in the previous episode, Ep. 62). But yes... Life, Time, and Health - the pursuit of which can lead to a lifetime of health. Each individually and how they are intrinsically connected to one another. I know you'll find value in this episode, thank you for listening, everyone!

This episode is special because our guest, T, spent time with me in person to talk and share her story with all of us the night before she went in to have surgery to remove both of her breasts. Yes, you read that correctly. She just finished 6 rounds of Chemotherapy and the doctors said the next step was to surgically remove lymph nodes and her breasts to remove any remaining cancer cells and to help prevent any from returning. So even with all that going on, she was kind and hospitable and gave us her time and thoughts and emotions. 

T’s energy and smile are amazing, and her sharing her story with us in real-time was an incredible blessing. I know you’ll find value and meaning in this episode, thank you for being here and listening!

IF YOU'RE NOT GIVING, YOU'RE TAKING - What does that mean? The reality is that there is no neutral ground, there is no time where we can get complacent and lazy and not be thinking about how we are contributing to our relationships and giving to our loved ones, our friends, our community, and our culture. It means that our very existence inside of that relationship takes from the other person and people, so we must always be thinking of the other and giving to them.  When we do that, we will thrive. But when we as people get selfish or lazy, or even just disconnect from the reality of it and don't actively and consciously give, it must be acknowledged that we are still TAKING from others and what is around you - and when we take accountability and own that reality, we can begin to heal and flourish.

The time is now! The time to... make a change, make progress on what you've been procrastinating on, eat better, exercise more, get healthier... anything and everything, THE TIME IS NOW. From people in the community whose lives have changed drastically due to a medical emergency, to  the clock of life simply ticking away on all of us, to just listening to positive words to inspire and re-inspire you do a small thing or a big thing you've been wanting to do. The time do that is now....

From racing shifter karts to wrenching on cars, to working at the ID Agency and Motortrend, to then creating his own company - the BMS Brand - my friend Brandon Scarpelli has an amazing resume and a work ethic and energy that is borderline unmatched. His successes and growths speak volumes, and it was an honor and a pleasure to sit down with him in his home to have a conversation for the community and for the culture.

I look forward to you all listening, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments on the IG post for this episode.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are kicking off 2022 with Season 2 of the podcast. There has been SO MUCH going on in my personal life that has prevented me (or should I say, that I ALLOWED to prevent me) from being in the right frame of my mind to create for you guys. But it is because of all of you reaching out to me and letting me know how much the content means to you that I pushed and pushed myself and stepped out of my comfort zone to create this episode and open up about my personal life - and create again. So, we are back, Episode 55 kicks off Season 2, as we all begin 2022 together!

Thank you all for listening and supporting, and don't forget to comment on my Instagram post about this episode after you've listened so we can continue the conversation there in the comments. I appreciate you.
