We Have Something To Say About That Ep. 23 - Leading Through Burnout, Layoffs, and Uncertainty

"Win Fast. Win Often"… that's what we do around here.

Without all the fluff and bullshit.

You know there's no magic pill.
There's no shortcut.
There's no, "you have can it all in 90 days with 3 easy payments of…"

But you also know there are lessons you can learn from others who will help you avoid unnecessary pain, disappointment, and failure.

Because at the end of the day, you know creating success is all on you.

It's you, a mirror, and what you decide to do about it.

That is why this podcast exists. 

You want greater levels of success in your life and you know there's a version of you that is worthy of playing at the championship level.

Winning in your Family.
Winning in your Business.
Winning in your Wealth.
Winning in your Health.

You want to win.

The Big Stud Podcast is for the road between where you are and where you want to be. 
A place for you to continually find inspiration as you become that CHAMPIONSHIP WORTHY version of yourself.

Just because you're not where you want to be, doesn't mean you can't still WIN FAST and WIN OFTEN.

We call it win-stacking:
Micro-wins that keep your head in the game as you work towards the macro-wins of accomplishing your goals.

You know creating success isn't easy.
If it was, everyone would be successful.

Look around.
You know it and I know it.

Most people aren't willing to put in the work.

You know there will be pain.
You know there will be struggles.
You know you will fail over and over and over again.
And there will be countless times you want to throw in the towel and question ALL OF IT.

It's a challenge most people aren't willing to take on.

But you're not like most people.

Because you know there is a champion inside of you who wants to win.

So come hang. 
You found your squad.

Join host Mike Claudio and guests as they share powerful stories, lessons, and principles to help you become that Championship version of yourself.

Every episode will be the shot in the arm, the kick in the ass, and the NO BS inspiration you need, to push through the fog and create the success you want in life.
