Life often throws challenges our way, but having the right mindset can make a significant difference. We all face obstacles, big or small, and it’s easy to get discouraged when things don’t go as planned. However, learning how to overcome these challenges is key to success. A positive mindset helps us see obstacles as opportunities for growth rather than roadblocks.
Overcoming challenges and fears requires more than just wishing for change. It takes consistent effort, positive self-talk, and a mindset that embraces growth. When we understand that we are enough and that the road to success is filled with both triumphs and difficulties, we can navigate life’s challenges with greater strength and confidence. As we move through these obstacles, we not only achieve our goals but also become better versions of ourselves.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the powerful impact of mindset when facing obstacles and overcoming fears. Recently, I reflected on how fear and doubt can hold us back from achieving our goals. Some of the main points I discussed were shedding fear, overcoming imposter syndrome, and how affirmations can help us build a stronger mindset. Tune in as we explore practical steps to shift your mindset and embrace challenges.

In this special episode, I share a few personal stories about growth and perseverance—small victories that taught me big lessons. We’ll also a topic that’s close to heart: the “money mindset” and why it’s essential to transition from a saver to an investor. Just five years ago, I was completely new to the world of real estate, stocks, and other investments, but by taking consistent, small steps, I was able to build a diverse financial foundation. I hope my journey shows you that achieving financial growth is possible no matter where you start.
Let’s explore how changing our mindset and breaking generational cycles around money can lead to lasting financial well-being. You'll hear from authors, CEOs, and other powerful voices on the ways we can rethink and reshape our approach to wealth.
Plus, I'll talk about the importance of finding the right "connectors"—those key people who help you bridge gaps and bring your ideas, products, or dreams to life. I realized firsthand how the right person can open doors, offer guidance, or even provide that missing link you need to make your goals a reality.
Thank you for being a part of this community for 3.5 years, for your prayers, and for sticking with us. As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I invite you to reflect on what you’re thankful for and how we can continue supporting each other.
Here’s to growth, mindset shifts, and to finding the right people to help you along the way!

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t. We all are faced with certain obstacles in life that affect our decisions and challenge our patience. Sometimes, it feels overwhelming, but they all teach us something important. They help us align our dreams more closely with the reasons we pursue them and make us more grateful even for the little unnoticeable things.
As we continue to walk this journey, having the right people beside us can make all the difference. Realizing that we can do something on our own but having mentors makes the process so much easier. Remember, every challenge we allow ourselves to be refined by is what makes our story unique and relatable. When people see us face difficulties and come out stronger, it motivates them to do the same. Our experiences can serve as a reminder that everyone struggles, but it is how we respond to those struggles that defines us.
In this episode, I'll share the key lessons from my keynote speech at the National Medical Association in New York City. Speaking to young orthopedic surgeons, I reflected on my journey, from overcoming challenges as a first-generation physician to finding mentors who shaped my path. I’ll also discuss the rewards and realities of working in sports medicine, from professional team experiences to daily patient care, along with insights on balancing family and career. Join me for an inside look at my path in medicine.

How often do we let the allure of our dreams distract us from the hard work required to achieve them?
Many people get caught up in the word "dream." It evokes images of grandeur and a life of ease, leading many to envision their future successes without recognizing the sacrifices and determination required to attain them. While having dreams and goals is important, focusing too much on them can distract us from the crucial work necessary to turn those aspirations into reality.
This disconnect between dreaming and doing can lead to a cycle of frustration, as we become so enamored with our visions of success that we overlook the disciplined effort needed to reach our destinations. Therefore, it is essential to establish a clear plan that outlines actionable steps toward achieving our dreams. Additionally, developing this perspective enables us to focus less on the idealized outcomes of our dreams and more on the process of growth and learning that comes from pursuing them. In essence, while dreams can serve as powerful motivators, they should not overshadow the hard work required to realize them.
In this solo episode, I will share the importance of taking action and putting in the work to achieve our goals. We'll explore how focusing solely on dreams can be a distraction and how every great achievement starts with a single step. Tune in as we learn about the value of self-reflection, taking action, and the practical steps required to manifest personal and professional growth.
"Be prepared, and when opportunities arise, you’ll feel more comfortable grasping the concept. It all comes down to your willingness to do the work." - Dr. Derrick Burgess
Topics Covered:
(00:01:30) The trap of focusing too much on dreams
(00:02:10) Doctor’s visit as a wake-up call
(00:04:15) Pushing through discomfort to prioritize well-being
(00:06:38) Encouragement from Eric Thomas

What keeps athletic trainers going despite the challenges?
The hours may be long and the pay may be low, but the passion for helping athletes drives every dedicated athletic trainer to keep showing up. Athletes face many challenges, from intense physical strain to mental pressures that can affect their performance and well-being. They push their bodies to the limit in pursuit of excellence, often risking injuries that can sideline them for weeks or even months. However, their journey becomes more manageable with the unwavering support of athletic trainers.
Athletic trainers are the unsung heroes who stand by every athlete. Along with their many challenges, athletic trainers face a tough reality: long days filled with rigorous demands, heart-wrenching injuries, and a salary that often doesn’t reflect the time and energy they invest in their work. Their job can be physically draining, requiring them to stay on their feet for hours, and emotionally taxing as they support athletes through painful recoveries. Moreover, the behind-the-scenes nature of their work can lead to feelings of being unrecognized or overlooked. Thus, we must recognize that behind every successful athlete is a team of dedicated professionals working tirelessly to ensure they remain in peak physical condition.
Mr. Brady Howe is a certified athletic trainer, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and the esteemed Director of Sports Medicine at Grand Canyon University. With a wealth of experience in the field, Mr. Howe previously served as the Vice President of Health and Performance for the Phoenix Suns. In that role, he combined his expertise in sports medicine and strength and conditioning to oversee the Suns' performance department. He has recently transitioned from covering the men's three-on-three basketball team at the Olympics.
In this episode with Mr. Brady Howe, we will explore his journey in sports medicine and athletic training. He shares his experiences working with high-level athletes and discusses the importance of the relationships he built along the way. We'll learn about his passion for helping athletes recover from injuries and prepare for competitions. Mr. Howe will also talk about the challenges and rewards of his work, including the hard work that often goes unnoticed. Tune in as we dive into the world of sports training, the journey to success, and the importance of teamwork in helping athletes reach their goals.

Are we doing enough to ensure our young athletes are truly protected and supported on their journey?
When it comes to sports, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of the game and overlook important health aspects. The thrill of competition, the adrenaline rush of scoring points, and the camaraderie with teammates often take center stage. However, maintaining proper health practices is crucial not only for peak performance but also for long-term well-being.
One of the most overlooked aspects of sports is injury prevention. While many athletes focus on building strength and improving skills, they may fail to prioritize essential things like preparing their physical and mental health for the demands of the sports. Hence, parents must play an active role in ensuring that their children are taking the necessary steps to stay safe and healthy. Remember, prioritizing health in all its forms is the key to sustainable success on and off the field.

Challenges are something we all face at some point in life, but it's how we respond that defines us. We’ve all encountered moments of self-doubt, times when the challenges before us seemed insurmountable, especially when stepping into roles or opportunities that feel beyond our reach. When faced with these obstacles, it’s easy to question whether we have what it takes to succeed. This doubt can feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that these are just tests along our journey, not permanent barriers.
Thus, it is important to approach failure with a mindset geared toward learning and growth. Viewing challenges as opportunities rather than threats can significantly change our experience. By adopting a mindset of growth, seeking guidance from coaches, surrounding ourselves with a supportive community, and using affirmations to build confidence, we can navigate through difficulties with resilience and strength.
In this episode, I will share my experience of giving my first onstage performance at the Next Level Speakers Academy where I had the opportunity to speak in front of top speakers in the world. You'll hear how overcoming self-doubt and failing important tests have shaped my journey as a speaker and healthcare professional. Tune in to hear how these challenges became stepping stones on my path to growth and resilience.

Many of us are driven by the desire to excel in our careers, personal lives, and hobbies. While ambition can lead to great achievements, it can also become overwhelming. Indeed, the more we take on, the harder it becomes to maintain balance. We might start to feel like we’re constantly running on empty, struggling to keep up with all our commitments. However, there is a danger in trying to do everything and be everything to everyone.
When we stretch ourselves too thin, we jeopardize our own well-being. In our pursuit of meeting every demand, the quality of our work and relationships can suffer, despite our best intentions. Thus, the desire to be successful in every area of life is noble, but it's crucial to recognize that our capacity is limited. Therefore, it's important to set realistic boundaries and prioritize what truly matters. By acknowledging our limits, we can focus our efforts on the areas that align with our core values and long-term goals. Remember, finding a balance between ambition and self-care isn’t about giving up on our dreams but about ensuring we pursue them in a healthy and sustainable way.
In this episode, I will share the challenges I've faced in balancing my personal and professional life, and how these have led me to rethink my approach to both work and self-care. I’ll share the steps I’m taking to manage my time better and focus on what truly matters to me. I’m excited about the future of the podcast and the new directions we’re taking. I hope you’ll continue to join me as we explore new topics, dive deeper into meaningful conversations, and grow together.

Conflict is not a hurdle to be overcome, but a pattern to be understood; it is through the examination of these patterns that we unlock the truly creative potential of our challenges. We see conflict in various facets of our lives, from personal relationships to professional environments. In these spaces, conflict often arises from differences in values, goals, or communication styles. Yet it is precisely these differences that offer fertile ground for growth and innovation.
Many conflicts we encounter often intensify because we tend to concentrate on defending our own stance instead of trying to understand the perspective of the other person. Hence, our defensive approach can create a cycle of misunderstanding and frustration, where both parties feel unheard and undervalued. Therefore, we must adopt a mindset that prioritizes understanding over winning. Remember, resolving conflict is not about proving who is right or wrong but about finding a way forward that respects the needs and perspectives of everyone involved. By cultivating a mindset that seeks to understand and learn from conflict, we can transform it into a powerful catalyst for personal and collective growth.

She highlights the role of leaders in using conflict to strengthen their teams and encourage open communication. Tune in to learn practical tips for handling conflicts constructively and making them work for you.

The pursuit of excellence can sometimes take a toll on our mental well-being. Many of us strive for high levels of performance, whether in our careers, sports, or personal lives. We often hear about how to improve skills, manage time, and achieve our goals. But what about the mental side of high performance? This is where performance psychiatry comes into play. It is a field that focuses on optimizing mental health to enhance performance and overall quality of life.
Performance psychiatry examines how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can impact our ability to perform at our best. In our daily lives, it can help us deal with the pressures of balancing work and personal life. It can guide us in setting realistic goals, handling setbacks, and developing resilience. By understanding and addressing the psychological aspects of high performance, it helps us not only achieve our goals but also maintain a sense of well-being and balance in our lives. Remember, achieving excellence is not just about pushing ourselves harder but also about ensuring that our mental health supports and sustains our efforts.
