Podcast #12 Ignore Shiny Objects
Summary: There's never been more temptation to take you off course than there is now. Everyone wants a piece of you and you want a piece of the action you see. Unless you want caught in a whirlwind of starting and stopping, pick one thing and complete it. You will feel at peace and fulfilled when you know you are working towards one mission. The worst feeling in the world is starting something then getting pulled in a different direction then starting another thing then getting pulled in another direction. Expertise comes from years of experience at a specific thing. You can be successful at anything but you have to stick with THAT thing. Even if you see someone on social media blasting past you with progress in THEIR life, stick to YOUR life. Be no.1 with what you do, not no. 2 at someone else's. Transcript: It's really easy when you're trying to build something to get pulled in different directions whether you'retrying to build your health build a business family things i'm going through right now and a lot ofpeople do i think it tears at the soul of anyone who's tryingto make a long-term improvement because you think i really want toget to this result and then you start to be results focusedand you look at say i want to get to you know ten thousand dollars a month in my business or whatever it isanything right now i'm at zero so every day you think about that ten thousand dollar numberif so day one i'm not a ten thousand day two i'm not a ten thousand day three i'mnot a ten thousand or you're three hundred pounds and you wanna get to two hundred poundsday one you go to the gym you're three hundred day two your 301day three year 299 and every day you think about that ending resultit kills you on the inside a little bit more and more and more because you're thinking about i'm where i am right nowbut i'm not where i want to be so instead an ideawhich i've been thinking about a lot from reading atomic habits and a lot of other books and justthinking about how i feel about things is be more process driven more habit-driventhink you know today i didn't hit my goal where i want to be two years from nowthree years from now but i did the things necessary to get to that goaland when i think back to times in my life when i've been really successful at things you know i remember i was amusic major in college so i played saxophone all the time and i won concerto competitions i wasvery successful at the saxophone because that was my everything i was obsessed with at the time i was only concerned about beingthe best saxophone player i could possibly be i want to be the best in the school so i would be practicing four eighthours a day on that and i remember loving the process justloving going into the practice room every single day whether people knew i was practicing ornot i would just go in there and practice for hours and hours and hoursfollow my chart follow my bullet bulleted list of things i had to do and if i got through that list that day ifelt great inside i felt peaceful it was just at ease i feltlike i was fulfilled i was completing my mission because my mission at that time was just to get really good at saxophonei wanted to win certain competitions and even if i didn't win the competitions as long as i was enjoying how i felt as iwas playing i felt good about myself at that time so i was enjoying the processi was enjoying the daily work that happened and i think as you know you i could you can't dothat forever this isn't the 1920s where you know you can go to clubs and play in big bands and all that so whenever yougo on to new things when i go into new things for me personally you know i have tothink okay i want to get to this point i'm not there right now it's okaydid i do the things today that got me to that point yes and the thing that's tough it'stough for me stuff for a lot of people is whenever you see someone else doing what you wa...

Podcast #8: Break Free From Your Past
Break free from the chains of your past. So many of us are held down by "who we think we are." Our memories of past failures don't have to define us. You are what you do today.
In this episode I talk about how men can rewrite the story of their life and don't have to be held hostage to their past memories.

Podcast #7: Care For Yourself To Care For Others
Care for yourself to care for others. Guys so often put everyone else before themselves. This mindset is passed down from generation to generation. While serving a good purpose, this can also be to the detriment of men themselves and their families.
Not only are you important enough to care for yourself, but your family benefits by having a happier, healthier you.
In this episode I talk about why fathers need to prioritize their own health, sanity, friends, and lives.
