Hey party people. It's one thing to have a great idea. It's always good to have a second great idea. That's 2nd great idea is, "how do I implement my 1st great idea?" In this episode we talked about Piggly Wiggly and the founder of that store and why he was successful. Furthermore we speak about Tesla and why they succeeded where Tucker did not . It's not just so much that you have a great idea but have the imagination to figure out how to implement the idea to be mass produced or to be understood and accepted by the masses. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

Hey party people this is Big Dave. It has been a minute since my last Podcast. I thought it would be a good idea to start this month since the subject of October is "your mind". And this day we are talking about how to build a fortune in 5 seconds. There are 5 techniques per James Webb young . And I talk about that in the Podcast. Also I realized that this book was written way back in the long time ago. However the same principle applies today. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day 😀

Two things come to mind during this meditation 🧘♀️. How can we continue to have a sense of peace in our hearts with all that is going on around us? How does change affect our peace of mind? Or is it that once we are at inner peace, we can share that peace with others? This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

As we dive deeper into the journey of Faith and hope during the month of December these meditations continue to show the importance of reading them daily. Today we talk about the importance of have faith and love come from your heart and not your head. From the emotion and feelings of your heart. Tony Robbins video of Samantha and Darryl is amazing. You need to watch the whole video to see what I mean. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. Love others first.. Put their feelings first- from the heart, not the head. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

This meditation is a doozy for December. The theme is faith and hope. It took me 3 attempts to get coherent dialog to stress the importance of this meditation. I share real issues in my life in hopes that it will guide you to self reflect on the meditation. Everyone comes from a different place on this issue. Are you willing to be honest with yourself? And if you are what freedoms does that create for you? This podcast is longer than normal but it is an important topic. This is Big-Dave, you go and have a great day!

Today's Podcast asks the question what does he mean by free? Free to do what? Free to feel what? The meditation says we have freedom of choice. Freedom of choice from what? Will get into that more in the next Podcast. In this Podcast I talk about a band called DEVO and a funny story about my brother and me going to the Devo concert and getting in trouble later. I guess we had freedom of choice there but the consequences were trouble. I dive deep in what I believe is important on this Podcast with a more questions than answers. Can always be helpful everyday.

In today's meditation I share my past experiences and also encourage you to seek out your support group. Fear and doubt will latch on and has the potential to make you lose faith in yourself and in your situation. Don't let it do that! Sometimes we need to seek out a higher power to help us. I know I do. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

In this meditation you are encouraged to seek courage from your higher power. Everyday we are faced with things that come out of the blue. We should stay calm, get your mind right daily, have courage with purpose and have a plan when things go sideways. Stress and pressure comes from all sides, inside and outside. Stay positive and 😃 smile and things will get better. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

Today's meditation talks about the irony of your choice of building up people or building up walls. It's an emotional episode for me because my actions and words have torn people down and there walls have gone up because of me. I don't want you to make the same mistakes. There are two instances in my spin of the meditation that speak volumes. When your done listening to this podcast, go back to November 2018 and listen to that one as well.

I'm reading from Napolean Hill's action plan. Today the meditation breaks down exactly what we need to eat to nourish ourselves. Short meditation because we've talked about this for a few days now. All in moderation I say.

Do something. Good health, in my opinion, starts with a good night's sleep. The meditation suggests we listen to our bodies, mind and soul first and face those issues instead of running to the pharmacy. Let's try and journal this week and see how that goes. If you don't know how to start just write down words that come to mind and start there. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

The meditation challenges us to listen, to really listen to our inner self, our soul to unlock the answers as to why we and what we feed ourselves. Not just food mind you but good things around us. People, places And things. I suggest Journaling as a firm of communication to your mind, body and soul. Understand why we do the things we do. It's never too late. We can always learn something everyday. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day.

Processed foods spike your blood sugar and gives you a "brain fog". Eating raw fruits and vegetables sustains your blood sugar levels and gives you the clarity to think straight. I finally picked up raw broccoli 🥦 from the store. I swear I burned 100 calories just cutting it up! Today's meditation 🧘♀️ talks about the things we put in our bodies that make us better people.

The Canadian band, Rush, had a song called Totem from Test for Echo. Two lines from that song influenced me. "Media Messiah's preying on my fears" and "pop culture prophets playing in my ear". There are two articles I read and want to give them credit. * Frontline fallout series, The Right Fit by Taryn Williams and Glossy Magazine. In this podcast I discuss going beyond what we see and feel. Try to understand you are being influenced to buy a product or an idea through entertainment. Instagram, youtube, tik to and the like have people convincing you to buy ideas and things they may not even believe it. For your health and happiness be diligent. Separate the idea that Kim Kardashian wearing or holding a product or idea is one that you want to hold. You be you boo-boo [Kevin hart]. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

With this podcast we have officially reminded and rebooted to the current ebb and flow in real time. Today's meditation comes from Napolean Hill's Positive Action Plan. 365 meditations for making EACH day a success. Two stories today from the meditation. Heather's strength to push herself when others told her to stop and by focusing on the positive it made her a stronger person. Second story is how we understand our current situation but move towards health in spite of that. The mind is a wonderful and powerful thing. Let's tap into that which makes us stronger, wiser and will benefit us in the long run. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!!

You have the capacity to dream big dreams. This meditation talks about 2 different things in the meditation. The 1st thing is what is holding you back to do things? The 2nd thing is what are you gonna do about it? In this meditation we talk about an example of 2 fishes a predator and prey. The scientist put a glass panel between the 2 fish and the predator chasing after the prey continues to hit the face of the glass over and over again. When the scientists remove the glass panel what do you think happened next? Listen to the Podcast and you will find out. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

In this episode we touch on riches to rags to riches of several famous people. I was always curious about that because of our propensity for comeback stories. We start off with the main point of past but then jump to the future and then to the present. Not always how we hear it. If we don't learn from our past we are destined to repeat it. But that's not a bad thing, is it? Sometimes rinse and repeat is a necessity. It the future of hitting that bullseye 🎯 with understanding you did it once you can do it again. Revel today that you can get better at anything. Understanding you recognize you are better at some things than other things. You have a GREAT DAY!

In this episode we talk about separating the bad action from the person. We strive as human beings to communicate our pleasure or displeasure of an action or activity. We need to make sure the people we are talking to know it's the action and not them. I tell a story about my son and I at Incredible Universe when he was around 6-7 y/o that ties into the meditation. #love

Push your luck if it makes you a promise that turns con men honest! Lots to unpack in today's meditation. I've been away (mentally) for a while. Consistency is a con. I am persistent though. I haven't stayed down even though I have fallen down. Back on the 2-5 hour goalsetting plan. Today's meditation talks about conmen in our experience lately and me kidding myself. But am I worthy? A resounding yes! Lots of dust on me but luckily there is an LA Fitness within a block of my place. I am back up in Orlando and working on getting my mind clear and on point. Nobody said it would be easy.

This meditation talks about keeping a positive mental attitude about you. It's important to stay positive and these times, it's important to keep your friends positive and to be a good example of positivity.

Sometimes when David is not available on step in and do a Podcast. I forgot to introduce myself my name is Cletus I. I like to talk for my brother when it is important. Today's talk was about horses kind of. It's really about when you set your mind to something and you do it you don't listen to anybody else whispering in your ear tell any you can't do it. Remember that the minority of people out there set a goal and get it done. Ninty percent of the people wanna be your back seat driver and tell you what to do. Don't let them do that you in if you do have to jump off the horse after you get on it. I did get on a horse again when I got older with all never forget that 1 time when I held on to that horse as hard as I could and I got about 300 yd to be clear. I love that farm.

In today's episode we talk about not setting your limits to low, and not getting down on setting your limits to high.

Today's meditation talks about using muscles you didn't know you had in an extraordinary time. the example given in the meditation is lifting that car off that injured person that's trapped in an accident. What I talk about is your PMA muscles in your mind. In order to develop your PA muscles you have to work them every day whether you want to or not. Today I traveled to Gulfport Florida to go to the law school campus of Stetson law school and the reason I did that was to make my law school journey real. And how do you make it real? Ny taking a campus visit go into a class, sitting in that class taking a tour the campus and talking to a official admissions. I even went so far as to walk around the campus for another 20 minutes after that to just get a total feel and absorb the campus. What did that do for me? It lifted my spirits. It made it real. And it motivated me to 1A get back home and start study and harder than ever. I know I have a long way to go. But they say that a journey of a 1000 miles starts with a single step. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time period. this is Big Dave and you go and have a great day

Today's episode is about having the plans in your mind so Built-in thatyou don't even 2nd guess it. I'm trying to make these titles very specific with the date that I am reading and the theme of the month. Going forward I hope to keep it more linear for you. As far as titles are concerned it's whatever crosses my mind. To days title reminded me of Steve Martin when he played the banjo and one of his bits was foggy mountain breakdown when the president comes off the plane. not this President but Ford or Nixon. It was pretty funny back in the day. Today's meditation was hard for me and that I don't do those things like I used to and I feel the repercussions of that on a daily basis. I am probably going to read this meditation to myself all day and try and get a handle on this period this is important stuff people. In order to have a positive attitude the crux of it is in this meditation. In order to be positive it has to become rote. it has to be something that is automatic. And I need to be more automatic.

Today's podcast is about envy. of all the negative emotions envy is perhaps the most insidious. The reason I name this podcast Tom Brady is because in my podcast I talked about how many people envy him, even people that don't even play football. Where does it get us, how far do we go? We should embrace the success of others so that we too can be successful and how can we do that if we're being envious and angry and insidious? Food for thought. Oh by the way I'm a dolphins fan so that's that.

This episode is about sewing before you reap. We had the opportunity to go to the 50th annual possum festival in Wausau. the festival occurred on the first weekend of August. The meditation is for the reading of March 6th 2019. I wanted to make that clear first. The second thing I want to make clear is that this town really put on a great show Friday night for the king and queen possum. there were 10 men and 10 women that got up in the stage and talked about what they would do to catch a possum and what they would do to cook opossum. In order for you to understand what that's all about you have to go to the possum festival. What I thought it was amazing is that they were able to overcome hurricane Michael and help out their community and get out there and make sure that their community was well-fed not buy possum but by Spirit of a good strong community.

Today's episode talks about the first day of your promotion or the first day of your job. You're promoted because of your potential not because you're an expert at what that new job is. Sometimes it's best if you give yourself a break. I find that it takes three to six months and any job before you become proficient at it. The podcast talks about the focus of that idea and a job or two that I had in the past that kind of talks about it as well. Like I said I got promoted to the rejection department. This is Big Dave and you go ahead and have a great day

There's an old saying that says trouble finds you after 2 in the morning. well I don't know about you but I don't like to be out at 2 in the morning because there just seems to be a lot of trouble out there. This episode is about what you think about you attract. I gave an example of you thinking of a certain car and then that car appears everywhere. If you think positive it will appear everywhere if you think negative it will appear everywhere. Your subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between right or wrong, and it definitely doesn't know the difference between a truth and the LIE. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

the episode of today talks about how you can save your employer money. Now and then example that I give I talked about cell phones. I don't talk about butterflies. But we chased butterflies because they're pretty and we like to watch them. We watch our cell phone because what we're watching a content might be pretty. However I don't think that saves the employer any money. if you think about it the more time you spend helping your employer save money and see you the more likely you will be compensated accordingly. It reminds me of that episode with George Costanza where he puts money in the tip jar doesn't get seen so it takes the money out in order to show it again and in the while the guy said you're stealing money from the tip jar. He obviously wasn't stealing money from the tip jar. But it sure seemed that way. So, does it seem that way at your job when you're on the cell phone when the boss walks in? This is big Dave you go and have a great day.

We covet what we see every day. This was a line and silence of the lambs that Anthony Hopkins said to Clarice. It says the jealousy is common to everyone. At some stage of life, everyone has felt this emotion, some of us a little stronger than the rest. We basically indulge in jealousy when we covet or rather when we realize someone already has something that we wanted to have for a long time or just when we see someone having something we would love to have. Today's Podcast talks about that and the dangers of it. This is big Dave you go and have a great day

A big shout out to Heather for getting this book back to us so we can continue these pod casts. This Podcast meditation today was about the things that large business is doing to hold down and push down the man. What I mean by that is there are people out there that want to strive better, do a better, build better and there is always going to be someone holding you down. A culture that discourages prudent risk taking and affixes blame instead of solving problems will surely a radicate mistakes, because nothing will be done!

Whatever your game is this month, up it and move on to bet better at what you do and who you are. Don't fall for false #bravado.

Throughout the history of the world there are buildings that took years to build but when it was done it was a magnificent thing to behold. The sweat and toil and planning it took made it worthwhile. This is what today's meditation is all about. We should look to build people up not tear them down and that really starts with us.

As promised I am reading these daily meditations on the date in the calendar. Today we talk about time and the mystics of time. Time heals all wounds...Time stands still...Time is a gypsy caravan and can steal away the night and leave you stranded in dream land. Be careful to plan 16.8 hours for yourself each week and set aside that time before you plan any other time for others (not including work or your company). See how that morphs your thoughts and sharpens you to go back to work stronger and more focused.

Today we talk about the aftermath of the first holiday weekend leading to the full blown holidaze season. What are you doing to combat the big appetites that you may have coming into the season and what are you going to do to sustain your health and happiness? How about when you go to a restaurant you write what you want to eat on an index card and hand it to the waitress so you don't get caught up on the good foods on the menu? Or just tell your friends your doctor has you on a no sugar diet. Be aware of yourself this holiday season.

We've talked about this in the past few podcasts but the fuel you put in your body will affect your mood in some way or another. Are you living for that instant gratification and instant happiness? Or are you diligent in your food diary so you can indulge every once in a while and enjoy the moment. Whatever you do the ultimate goal is to stay out of the drs office unless you have quarterly checkups like I do Stay the course for the rest of November. Stay healthy and happy and you go and have a great day!

This meditation is interesting because it suggests we deposit happy thoughts in our happiness bank. You can't make withdrawals of money in your bank if there is none in there. Also, the meditation suggests if you are not happy you will seek pleasure as a substitute for happiness. Is this why we have an opiod addictions situation in our country right now? Things to think about today.

Try this today, when you are speaking on the phone at work, look into a mirror or your cell phone camera and smile. Let me know if that affects your attitude when you are speaking on the phone. We can visually tell when someone is smiling but can we tell when they are happy when we speak to them over the phone?

Today's meditation is about the frailty of human life in a sense and how we as humans have the opportunity to share ourselves for a brief moment without judgement to create a moment of happiness for another human being.

You have heard it before, happiness is in the journey not the destination. I have heard this quote before, "money cannot buy you happiness, but the lack of it affects your happiness". LIfe is a journey. Take that concept and run with it, so to speak and bring your happiness with you. What sustains your happiness? What do you do that does not diminish your happiness? Thoughts to ponder in this meditation.

How many of you remember the Coke commercial, Have a coke and a smile? If you watch any commercial on your favorite platform you will see people smiling, even in photographs. Why? Because it elicits an emotion. If this has an affect on you surely you can cause an affect on people by sharing your smile with them. It only takes a few seconds and both parties for that moment share something. How cool is that?

This is my 50th episode of the podcast and I have enjoyed the journey. Today's meditation is about sharing happiness the way Walt Disney World does it every day. Imagine the planning and execution of making each person happy at WDW and how you as a kid felt to be treated that way. Now go today and treat everyone that you meet like you are WDW and they are that kid going there for the first time.

anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you. Remember that jingle as a kid? Well, it is alive and well in this day and age. There are people out there that strive to get under your skin and throw shade for the sake of taking you out of your game. Whether it be for work or a pick up game of basketball. We cannot control the emotions of others but we can control how we react to them. In this mediation we talk about the different instances where you see this in your everyday life and how to best recognize it so you can be ready for non-reaction.

A wise person thinks twice before answering once. In my line of business this meditation speaks volumes. The title of the meditation is a nod to halloween as well and a good song in the 90s hair band craze! If we would just pause for a moment and listen to the question being asked we will have a better outcome in my opinion. This is true in your job, your relationships and sometimes when you are talking to yourself. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day.

This meditation hits me square in the face with an issue that came up today and I talk about it in the podcast at length. When I live in the moment and stop thinking about the "what if's" of the future and the "wrongs" of the past I have a better chance of happiness and a good outcome. Negative thoughts can be powerful if you let it creep in. What are you doing to plan positive thoughts in your mind? Let's talk about it.

Do you stand there and fight for your dreams and desires or do you run the other way and stay in a cloud of fear? I am fearful a lot and every day have to deal with the fight or flight issues of the mind. Ghostrider from Vapor Trails the Rush album comes to mind when I think of moving into the unknown. There are 4 songs Rush wrote about fear and I would suggest you track those down and listen to them. Powerful stuff and a different take on the issue.

What is the cause of mind numbing activity? Is it because we use too much of our mind during the day and we just want to unplug or is it something deeper? We explore this thought and the meditation has something to say about it. With Netflix, Fortnite and the new Red Dead Redemption 2 coming out, how do we stay engaged instead of zoning out? Your thoughts? Hope you had a GREAT day

It's funny what goes through my mind when I have to think of a title for each podcast. I think of Fallout Boy and their odd song titles and then I try to bring a phrase related to the topic. Today we talk about how your subconscious remembers what you tell it well after the moment has passed and how that thought affects your positive thinking. There is a book I mention in the podcast. It is Self Talk by Shad Helmstetter. You should check it out.

The word is contemporaneous. It means as close to the event. This is one of the three S.A.T words I would try to use in a sentence this week with anyone you engage in conversation. Anything from football to politics to current events. When you are trying to think of how to implant your three S.A.T. words in the conversation, it is going to be real difficult to get mad at the topic at the same time. Try it. You'll see.

What did it mean to you when people said, " act your age not your shoe size"? I always thought about my shoe size and wondered if those people even knew what my shoe size was. Negative people will bring you down where positive people will lift you up. I implore you to find Charlie "Tremendous" Jones on You tube and watch a guy who is full of energy and life.

Here I am again with another block of awesome mediations. It was either abandon the project out of embarrassment or suck it up and do another round of multiple meditations. I chose the latter. Since this month is about the mind, clearly there is an internal struggle to keep on keeping on and I hope this inspires you to also keep on keeping on even thought the thoughts in your mind want to keep you as your old self. Push through the struggle like the Oak Tree we talk about in one of our mediations. The struggle is real and there is hope in your struggle and mine as well.

In this meditation we share some examples of companies that have persevered with good ideas in the face of ridicule and doubt. When you come up with a good idea it needs to incubate.

Today's meditation took me down the rabbit hole when I read the sentence, " When you are working because you like what you do, the money will follow". There are so many books written based on this quote and with good reason. When you read it, one begins to dream about all the possibilities of making money just by loving what they do. Today's meditation is talking about your job but I challenge you to go beyond your job to find the answers to this quote. The author responsible for this quote is Joseph Campbell. His actual quote was " Follow your bliss" Check him out on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell I am also including the link to the article from Forbes that I talk about in the podcast: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robasghar/2013/04/12/five-reasons-to-ignore-the-advice-to-do-what-you-love/#194d451f1096 and finally I want to link the website Fiverr.

In this episode we talk about a blog that we stumbled upon when we were preparing this podcast. The blog is called TheMuse and the link is https://www.themuse.com/advice/7-ways-to-become-your-boss-dream-employee. I found that these 7 ideas tie into the meditation of the day. If we work as if we were the boss and made decisions on that premise one day we may be the boss. If you are a business owner, what kind of employee would you want? How many success stories are out there of people that started to work for a company to later own that same company? This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

Have you ever heard the expression, " you act like you own the company"? By acting like the boss, one day you may very well own the company. There are companies that create incentives for employees to feel empowered to be part of something great. Companies and business owners find that by creating that environment, it will drive employees to be creative, loyal and cost-conscious. Experiment this week and work with the idea that this is your company. At the end of the week look back and see how you felt being the boss, the owner. Let me know what happened.

Today is Sunday and three things are shared in the podcast. Are you doing it or talking about doing it? In the past we have talked about your cornerstone habit and how habit is part of walking the walk not talking the talk. Some people are allergic to working. Success is allergic to those people. That is not just your job but also your goals. I had a terrible eating day yesterday but today I am giving myself a chance to succeed by remembering today's meditation. Success is a progressive realization of a worthwhile goal or dream. Remember that as you go about your day. This is Big Dave. You go and have a great day!
