Our 20’s are a roller coaster. From figuring out careers, relationships, and health, every way we turn it seems like uncertainty is there to greet us.

We are going to unfilter those types of conversations to make you understand you are not alone in navigating the complex waters of young adulthood. In hopes maybe we can all get a little more clarity on how to succeed. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kevinhandcoltonr/support

In this episode we have a conversation around what drives us to succeed in various areas of our life. Interestingly enough the things we do everyday and work towards, aren't driven by an exact vision of what our future holds, but ultimately a vision of what we know we don't want (listen to episode to understand what this means). It seems that operating out of a sense of fear (i.e. having regrets about not doing something) is equally as much of a driving force as a chasing of vision of what success might look like in days, months, and years down the line. We hope you enjoy.

In this episode we discuss starting new journeys/endeavors even when external circumstances don't seem perfect. Spoiler alert, it seems like they never will be. When starting down any path whether it is a new fitness goal, career, or relationship there will always be challenges and reasons to not move forward. There will be days where it feels like the world is out to get us and things aren't going our way, but that is when we find out what we are a really made of. The only way to move forward is to start or else we will be waiting for the "right" time for the rest of our lives. We hope you enjoy!

That's what we hope to accomplish with this conversation and we hope you enjoy!

In this show we discuss some of the reasons that taking action is so vital to furthering ourselves in any area of life. The idea being that, external circumstances are never going to be perfect (like we saw in 2020). The best time to start something new is now (2021) because not doing anything is a deliberate action as well and takes as much energy as trying to move yourself forward.

In this show we have a conversation around goals and prioritizing things that are important to us for 2021. The title of this podcast is vital. We feel the pursuit of something greater than you in the present is what keeps us alive. Without that chase, without that ambition, without that vision, how can you possibly create become something better? We would argue you can't. Setting goals allows you to become a creator of your reality versus a product of your environment/external circumstances. Let's go chase this year!

In today's show we discuss what it means to delay gratification in the corporate environment. Whether it was studying for a test and finding out the next day you got an A or having people like your posts on social media, it seems like we have been conditioned to need that instance positive feedback.

In this episode, we have a conversation around a principal thought from the book Fortitude by Dan Crenshaw. The question we discuss is have we become a society where things have been so easy for us that when circumstances outside the norm come to light, we aren't able to handle that adversity? As always, we don't have the answers and don't pretend to, but thought it was a topic worth discussing given circumstances. We hope you enjoy!

In today's episode, we have a conversation with Dave Reeves. Someone that has become a role model to us in so many ways and in this show we hope to unpack why that is. Dave experienced some hard trials in his early adulthood when he was struggling with being an Alcoholic. He since has 20+ years of sobriety, created an amazing family, successfully started/grown multiple business, and found a strong relationship with his faith. His list of characteristics we believe we should try to emulate are long, but the one attribute we think comes through stronger than any other is confidence. Confidence in the ability to not let your past define your future. Confidence to admit to yourself what it takes to be the person you actually want to become. Confidence that your struggles can create some of your strongest qualities, if you make the hard decisions to change.

As simple as having a significant other may seem, there are a lot of complexities involved with navigating those experiences. Especially at our age where everyone is trying to figure out who they are as individuals, your significant other can play a big part in affecting other aspects of our life (i.e. our jobs, other relationships, and health). We don't pretend to have the answers as it pertains to these relationships, but wanted to have this discussion in hopes to bring an awareness factor or a different point of view to the topic. Enjoy!
