In this episode, Tim shares his thoughts on how to be better prepared for the opportunities that come your way! He gives practical tips, insight, and information that will help you welcome and step into these opportunities for your emerging future!
TAKEAWAYS:
“The secret is to be ready when your opportunity comes.” – Benjamin Disraeli
Three observations as it relates to opportunities:
Most everyone sees them once they’ve passed by – Hindsight or watching the film of yesterday
Many don’t have a picture of it – unaware (“Your big opportunity may be where you are now.” – Napolean Hill)
The wrong picture – This is a paradigms problem, what’s in your head and/or your current POV
HOW CAN I HELP PEOPLE DO THE FOLLOWING?:
Know there are OPPORTUNITIES out there and all around! This is all about understanding.
You can’t have what you don’t know exists and have access to it
You cannot teach what you do not know
You can’t learn if you cannot be taught
Attracting the right kind of opportunity – This is all about your passion and alignment with it. YOUR ‘WHY!’
There’s always some assembly required! – Your investment into your growth + development
Make your plans (blueprints)
Putting the pieces together
Possess the willingness to re-draw or go back to the drawing board
Your tools – skills, talents, abilities, relationships, intangibles, and your ability to be self-aware, self-manage, Social-awareness, and relationship management (Emotional Intelligence)
A willingness to discard the unnecessary
Every day prior is the Learning + Training ground for the opportunity to be seen, received, harvested and cultivated.
Here’s another way to look at it: opportunity > possibility > probability > actuality > factuality > reality (manifestation or physical equivalent)

In this episode, Tim shares with you questions he read in one of his favorite books written by his life-long mentor, John C. Maxwell, Developing the Leader Within You 2.0. The questions were incorporated into the book from an article written by Gary Hamel, a management consultant and founder of Strategos. These questions are helpful to anyone desiring a healthy character and are willing to go through the process of self-examination. As John writes in the book, “Questions like these heighten my awareness of the need to keep improving my character, especially in the context of leadership, because the heightened influence of leaders magnifies their impact on others—both positively and negatively.”
THE QUESTIONS:
To what extent do I …
Feel superior to those who work for me?
Demonstrate imbalance between work and other areas of my life?
Substitute formality for true human intimacy?
Rely too much on plans and not enough on intuition and improvisation?
Spend too little time breaking silos and building bridges?
Fail to regularly acknowledge the debt I owe to my mentors and to others?
Take too much satisfaction in my perks and privileges?
Isolate myself from customers and first-level employees?
Denigrate the motives and accomplishments of others?
Exhibit or encourage undue deference and servility?
Put my own success ahead of the success of others?
Fail to cultivate a fun and joy-filled work environment?
Exhibit selfishness when it comes to sharing rewards and praise?
Encourage parochialism rather than community?
Behave in ways that seem egocentric to those around me?

In this episode, Tim has a great conversation with an extraordinary man, husband, father, leader, businessman and author. Lidsky shares what he’s learned from going blind at a young age and how it is one of the best things that’s ever happened to him.
OUR CONVERSATION:
We are disabled with self-limiting assumptions we tell ourselves
We all misperceive success and values
We all have our blindness in our human condition
We are creating the reality we are experiencing
How we convince ourselves that the things we are thinking and doing are objective truths
The world is full of examples of people who’ve overcome unspeakable circumstances and found meaning and joy in life
Not taking control of writing your own narrative is a choice
Positive habits Isaac has built into his life
Having a real vigilance to separate out the difference between what you know, you think you know and what you need to figure out
How we try to identify and cling to heroes and villains in the face of fear
How fear shows up and fills in the blanks in your life with the most awful scenarios possible
What fear did in his life when Isaac started losing his sight
The importance of practicing your disciplines daily
Every instance in our life can yield knowledge, wisdom, and strength
The importance of quieting the noise and getting back to our strength
Living your life with an open heart and open mind
An open heart begins with being open and accessible to yourself first
Own your emotions and the responsibility for your emotions
The importance of introspection
The power and ruthlessness of words
Writing and how it is an invaluable tool
How we speak to others like attorneys and listen like five-year-olds (THIS NEEDS TO BE FLIPPED)
Confronting life’s challenges with initiative, humor, grace and an empowering new vision
How effort without purpose is entropy
How we have ultimate agency over every thought and action
Isaac’s Uphill challenge that he had to overcome
Three things Isaac is optimistic about over the next 12 months

On this episode of Uphill Conversations, Megan and Tim discuss brain plasticity, mindfulness, thoughts and emotions and how they relate to stress – mentally and physiologically – with Melanie Greenberg.
Melanie Greenberg, PhD is a practicing psychologist, author, speaker, and life/business coach, with more than 20 years of experience as a clinician, professor, and researcher. A recognized expert on stress management, and health and relationship challenges, she draws on neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology in her work, blending science with mindful wisdom and heart-based compassion practices. Melanie seeks to educate, support, heal, and inspire her clients helping them to realize their full potential. Full bio here: http://drmelaniegreenberg.com/about/for-the-media/ (drmelaniegreenberg.com.)
Show Notes:
Melanie’s journey and how she came to become so interested in the stress and the mind-body connection
A fixed-mindset vs. and open mindset
When facing new demands, it requires figuring out new ways to cope
Human tendency when faced with stressors to go to “fight, flight or freeze” – to focus on all the things that could go wrong
Anxiety, fear and anger can cause you to get stuck; people cling to stability
Thoughts, feelings + actions can actually change the structure of your brain, causing you to automatically become more reactive, with less ability to calm down your stress response through logical thinking
Techniques to be more self-compassionate and bring yourself back to the present when faced with a stressor: grounding + mindfulness
Mind-body connection tactics like placing both feet on the floor and just breathing + sitting with your thoughts
We can’t control our subconscious programming or thinking, the thoughts that come into our head, but rather than be ashamed, you an change your relationship to them: “you are not your thoughts”
If you have feelings of low self-worth, must understand where comes from and then fight it – focus on positive
Take time to ask the emotion what it needs, without judgement
Physiological effects of stressors on the brain
Consequences or mistakes that occur when someone doesn’t face their true emotions
Perfectionism and “conditional self-esteem” + the need to look for the grey
Putting our own problems in perspective and focusing on the positive
“Instead of just running from the tiger to smell the flower”
Life is a combination of appreciating and enjoy what you have, find points of peace, and you strive for more
Melanie’s Uphill challenge + optimism for next 12 months

In this episode Tim and Megan have an Uphill Conversation with Lee McDerment on facing and going through crisis, embracing life and discovering your purpose.
Lee has been on staff at NewSpring Church since the very beginning in 2000. As the very first hire, Lee was NewSpring’s Worship Pastor for 15 years, then in 2015 transitioned to being our Creative Arts Pastor. Now he is serving NewSpring as the Campus Pastor for Greenville. Lee’s favorite calling in life is being a husband to Ali and a dad to his two children, Gray and Lucy.
Show Notes
“I don’t care how much you know, unless I know how much you care.”
Lee’s journey from chemical engineering to music + ministry
Discovering purpose in crisis
NewSpring’s one church, many locations concept was built from a campus bible study group to 20,000 members in 15 years
It can be easy to make decisions that set the course of your life only to discover you are living someone else’s path
To discover your passion, ask yourself + seek understanding of what you don’t want and where you don’t want to go
Lee’s encouragement to ask God for help, dare to believe that He loves you enough, that He’s smart enough to provide ideal answers – then having the willingness to do what’s necessary
“Love is the rocket fuel that gets you going in the right direction” when faced with a difficult obstacle or challenge
Lack of love for self is prominent in our world
Handling change in a rapidly growing organization
In seasons of change, must have a deep ballast, knowing you will weather the storm
When you experience a loss of any kind, you must fully embrace the process of grief and go through the non-linear steps – you must feel them and all the emotions that come with it
Show up and do your work, but do the soul care in your off time – lean on your loved ones and allow yourself to be vulnerable
If you’ve gone through something difficult, you need to give yourself permission to not be OK for a while
“The Rise of the Real”
You see what’s inside of people when they get squeezed
Power of having others by your side to support you + need to care for yourself and your family first

Leaders are “lid lifters”
Resources for individuals to become better team members
It’s ok to push people out of their comfort zones, but don’t push them out of gift zones

Make things a priority and be disciplined in those things
Some people are hindered by past disappointments and hurts

Following the Thanksgiving holiday, Tim and Megan have an Uphill Conversation on progress, limits + creating margin – physical and emotional.
Show Notes:
As a society we are overwhelmed, overcommitted and over-stressed

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Living your life at full throttle + full capacity is not sustainable
Need to find things that replenish and energize you
Must determine your true capacity and your own individual limits and LISTEN to them
Need to intentionally live and make choices that align with what you want
How are you proactively doing to create your own margin?
8 tips for restoring margin in emotional energy
7 tips for managing or even restoring your resource of time

Tendency to be defined by who others teach us to be
It can be hard to figure out what you really want to do + who you are at the core
Tactics for self-discovery on what is meaningful in your own life
We get caught up in the “thing” that we forget the importance of what’s behind it
Tendency to focus too much on what we can’t do, rather than what we can do + what is nearby
Ask yourself, does something feel “light” or “dark” – take heed of your gut reaction
You must make compromises in the moment in order to attain long-term visions + goals
You must own your outcome + make intentional choices in your life
Must know the game you’re playing: “If there are two people in the room, a game is afoot … every organization has rules written and unwritten”
Need to understand how you show up in the room and that you hold power – especially if you want to be in a leadership position
Need to guide + teach our youth emotional intelligence + self-awareness
Lack of trust is the major contributor to redundancy + inefficiency in organizations
Importance of holding one another accountable and making accountability central to your culture
Balancing care and candor
Difficulty in walking away from stability to go after your dreams
You must not only have a vision, but also a conviction to follow through

In this episode we speak with Jonathan Parker on the Art of the Conversation and creating great vocal art through curiosity, asking great questions, listening and sharing.
Jonathan Parker is a creative thought-leader and influencer who has a captivating story about why the Art of the Conversation became important to him. Originally from New England, Jonathan did not speak until almost five years old; and then became an adult who is known for engaging conversations and powerful public speaking. His own journey led him to research and value the incredible power of intentional conversations resulting in a compelling training around this topic that he takes to businesses and nonprofit organizations with great success.
Show Notes:
We are all artists and our conversations are our artwork
Need to once again give people the permission to be curious
An artist is first accountable to themselves, not the viewer
We’ve become so used to others telling us what we believe, that we become counterfeit artists
What you do comes from who you are, it doesn’t make you who you are
We are so hard on ourselves that self-reflection can be scary
In order to grow self-awareness, seek to understand why you do the things you do
You need a to build an inner circle who can be brutally honest
Prescribed authenticity versus true authenticity
Jonathan believes there are two universal things all people want:
The opportunity to communicate
The respect to be heard
Importance of creating margin and self-discovery
Social media is a powerful tool, but gives a false impression of connection and conversation
Need to learn how to truly communicate and actively listen instead of actively responding
Busyness versus productivity
“If you tell the truth, you don’t have remember anything” – Mark Twain
Leaders must model the behaviors they desire: you can only multiply what you model
No one can consistently act in a way that is inconsistent with how they view themselves
Jonathan’s desire to create a space for fellowship and connection outside of church for believers
Surprise and reward in stepping out and pursuing your passion
Optimism that we will come together for more conversations and that relationships will get deeper because of differences, not in spite of them

Matthew Rollins joins us for an Uphill Conversation on his journey from playing baseball to his current life as an entrepreneur. He is carving his own path and going up against giants in a very established industry.
Matthew Rollins was a four-year starter for North Greenville University, playing centerfield and hitting leadoff the majority of his college career. After his time at NGU, he had the rare opportunity to play professionally. Though the majors never came calling, Matthew’s love for the game couldn’t deter his involvement in athletics somehow, some way. His work experience includes time with a performance research facility where he trained hundreds of professional and Division I athletes, members of U.S. Special Forces and first responders. But as the company and Matthew’s responsibilities grew, he found himself missing the baseball community, and understood a comeback was inevitable.

At some point the game will tell you “it’s enough”
Intentionality and time it takes to discover your passion
Evaluating opportunities and choosing the path your life will take
Anchor Bat Company’s focus on quality and design
Story behind the meaning of “Anchor” in the company name
“We’ll make a bat for anyone, but we’re not for everyone.”
Bravery and grit it takes to follow your heart instead of your ego – and to stick with it when times are tough
Learning the ins and outs of a very specific industry with strong, established competitors
Power in owning your decisions + your circumstance
Underdogs and self-belief
Joys and challenges of working with family
What it feels like to see your product in action
Unexpected ways your product can positively impact the lives of others

In this episode Megan and Tim have a conversation all around freedom: what it means, different perspectives and our individual pursuit. We are hoping our listeners will join in the conversation! We’d love to hear your thoughts.
Show Notes:
What does freedom mean to you? Are you truly free and living freely?
Five areas discussed: mental, physical, financial, emotional and spiritual
The active and continuous pursuit of freedom
You can be physically and financially free, but lack emotional, mental and spiritual freedom
Your level of freedom is directly related to the choices you make
Must understand that it’s ok to fail forward and change your mind
Resistance to freedom and change vs. the comfort of habit and routine
Projecting how you believe others will respond can be dangerous
It’s important to be thoughtful and inclusive of others, but while you are responsible to others you are not responsible for them
Importance of alignment and continuous growth and adapting
Keep your head up and looking forward: focus creates blindness
Correlation of freedom and honesty with yourself and others
Physical incarceration vs. your heart being incarcerated
Your quest for freedom, even if unpopular, may actually liberate others
Freedom can be difficult, but own your choices and embrace the consequences

When we build the lives we want, time saves itself
Everything we do is a choice
Choosing how to spend leisure time can be a big challenge
Having a “to do” list vs scheduling priorities
Annual goal setting, personal and professional, helps align and adhere to your top priorities
Don’t just fill time, build intentional breaks into your day where you actually disconnect and mentally recharge
Time tracking shines a light on how where you’re losing or wasting hours throughout the day and week
Simplify your approach to tracking hours – it doesn’t have to be complicated or highly-detailed
Questions you can ask yourself each day in order to be more mindful of how your time is spent
Making changes can cause discomfort and challenges for you and others
The vast majority of things that upset us today won’t matter in a year or even next week
When you do two things at once, you’re often doing neither of them well
Impact of giving your full attention to the person in front of you
Laura’s Uphill Challenge in her early writing career
“Done is better than perfect because there is no perfect without being done”
Disciplines Laura uses to get started, build and gain momentum

In this episode, Tim and Megan have an Uphill Conversation with Shama Hyder on social media, identity and awareness. Shama is a visionary strategist for the digital age, a web and TV personality, a bestselling author, and the award-winning CEO of The Marketing Zen Group – a global online marketing and digital PR company.
Under her leadership, The Marketing Zen Group has grown an average of 400% growth annually since 2009 to include a team of 30 and serve clients ranging from publicly-held Fortune 500 companies to privately-held small businesses and nonprofit organizations across the globe. Read her http://shamahyder.com/about/ (full bio here.)
Show Notes:
How Shama spends her time personally and professionally
Shama’s suggestions on how to best use social media for business and building your personal brand – it’s finding the right blend of showcasing who you are and being strategic in what you share
Shama considers how what she shares on social is adding value – “You should use social media, not be used by it.”
Be an editor, not a perfectionist. It’s better to accept the imperfections and take the first step.
True identity is something that is constantly changing
Learn to be responsive to opportunities as they are presented
Shift your perspective to break down challenges into smaller, more manageable chunks – approach them bit-by-bit and day-by-day.

In this episode Tim and Megan dive into the topic of discovering and embracing your inner-genius and unmistakable creativity.
Show Notes:
Borrowing color and putting it back into the world
Like fingerprints, .1% of our DNA is completely unique
Focus less on similarities and more on unique differences
Leaders should cultivate, extract and celebrate diversity and creativity within teams
Be unapologetically yourself while still respecting the views and differences of others
Instead of answers to remember, let’s give our children problems to solve
Allow people the freedom to discover new and different ways to approach and solve problems
Creativity can be applied to all areas, not just the arts
Be liberated to suspend the need to be realistic
How leaders can inspire greater creativity within teams
Mastery is not perfection, it’s practicing until you get it right
Have a growth mindset – aspire to be a lifelong learner
Settling for mediocrity (“rusting out”) means never stretching yourself to achieve more
Nothing listens better than blank piece of paper
Embrace your imperfections and stop pursuing perfection
8 ways to draw out your unmistakable creative:
Having the desire to touch, feel, interact and engage with the world around you
Be present with people who inspire
Embrace creative daring
Enjoy blank sheets of paper
Cross your own boundaries
Develop your grit
Leverage repetition
Embrace pressure as a privilege

Regan Hillyer joins us as a guest co-host for this episode of Uphill Converstaions where she and Tim really dig in to what can happen when you manifest what you desire – why people don’t make it and why they aren’t realizing their visions and dreams.
Show Notes:
Belief that we can manifest anything we desire
Biggest limitation can be our fear of not having the perfect road map or plan
Deliberately disrupting the traditional method of following in others footsteps to think and do differently
Don’t just make the decision to jump, actually jump – people must be enrolled in their own risk
Moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset
Intentionally living your life on the edge of uncertainty
Be the person you believe you will become
Evaluate what you are attracting and allowing into your life
Willpower, discipline and alignment
Importance of self-discovery and following intuition
Tips for greater success in manifesting what you desire
Prepare yourself to be wrong, but know it’s not the end
Setting yourself up for the day you want to live into tomorrow

In this episode, Tim and Megan have an Uphill Conversation with Kare Anderson on synchronicity, clarity and specificity.
Kare Anderson is an Emmy-winning former NBC and Wall Street Journal reporter, now connective behavior speaker and columnist for http://www.forbes.com/sites/kareanderson/ (Forbes) and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kare-anderson/ (Huffington Post). https://www.ted.com/talks/kare_anderson_be_an_opportunity_maker?language=en (Anderson’s TED talk )on The Web of Humanity: Be an Opportunity Maker has attracted over two million views.

Show Notes:
Need to get specific about your top mission in life
Synchronistic events and how they shape our lives
Why it’s important to be aware of our hot buttons and blind spots
Dangers of projection and importance of asking questions (rather than making assumptions)
Use specificity when sharing stories, tell them in ways that matter to listeners

Gives teams rules of engagement and methods to genuinely connect
It’s easy to be against something, but the real power comes when we are for something that’s better and brighter
Breaking out of our ingrained habits in order to create change
A helpful helper provides something before you knew you needed it
We all change over time, we grow and evolve
Be open to learning, there is something in everybody that we can learn from
The power in making and keeping promises
Don’t limit your field of vision or beliefs when finding others to partner with – be open to noticing more, expand your awareness
Kare’s current purpose in life
What and how Kare works on herself and maintains momentum

Todd Tresidder joins us for an Uphill Conversation on finances, values, wealth and happiness.
Todd graduated from the University of California at Davis with a B.A. in economics and a passion for creating successful businesses. A serial entrepreneur since childhood, Todd went on to build his own wealth as a hedge fund investment manager before “retiring” at 35 to teach others. Today, he provides advanced investment and retirement planning education at http://financialmentor.com (FinancialMentor.Com) showing you what works, what doesn’t, and why based on a depth of proven experience.
Show Notes:
Disproving the “millionaire myth.”
Financial freedom opens up possibilities, but will not make you happy
Seeking financial wealth to compensate for feelings of low self-worth
Todd’s bumpy journey towards a more fulfilling life
We have ingrained values and traits alongside developed passions
Through actions and work, developed passions deepen
Important to align and honor your values with your passions
Power of clarity in decision making – theories versus evidence
Todd is a “hopeless realist”, not holding romantic delusions in work or life
Culture of convenience, instant gratification and “sound byte” environment sets us up for disappointment in journeys to make true impact, learn and grow
Todd measures wealth by how much value you’ve added to the world
Success takes hard work and resilience
Quantifying how much time remains in your life can impact how you’re living this year, month or day
Being internally directed versus externally directed in our lives
Being successful versus having significance; outcomes vs. process

Lin Eleoff joins us on Uphill Conversations to talk about the key components of living a gutsy glorious life. She is an author, lawyer and “rock your life” coach for women over 40. Lin has written what she calls “The New Rules” for women who are ready to WOMAN UP in all aspects of their lives, something she says takes GUTS, GRIT, and GRACE.
Lin says one of the worst things a woman can do is turn her back on herself when it comes to the woman she sees in the mirror.
Show Notes:
Need to pay attention to your inner voice – your inner 6-year-old
How Lin has lived a life filled with bold moves
Don’t overlook the importance of SECOND chances, whether they are given to you or you make them for yourself
Disciplines needed to cultivate persistence and grit
AFGOs – Another Freaking Growth Opportunity
Tremendous combination of guts, grit and grace
Importance of doing an audit of your own values: Are they yours or did you inherit them from someone else and you’ve been living them your whole life?
We are not called to get it right, we are called to learn
Trap of self-comparison versus embracing our uniqueness and imperfections
In order to change, we must be willing to see that supporting others to the detriment of ourselves is not as a badge of honor
Impact our parents have in our lives: inspiring us, imposing wisdom and leading by example
Using mantra “Cut. Bleed. Heal.” to work through situations where you’ve been wounded
Not allowing past wounds to determine our present or future actions
Awareness of inner feelings and recognizing signals to guide choices
Sometimes need to scare people into paying attention and taking responsibility, to understand the dangers of ignorance
How Lin invests in herself and empowers others
Lin’s perspective on the myth of “having it all”

Human relationships, choices, empathy, and digging into our own emotions
Difference between quitting & surrender
Why people jump ship or give up mid-pursuit

Make resolutions you can live into for your New Year!
Be sure your resolutions are in alignment with who you are and what you want! If you want to see growth, make order and structure a priority as growth cannot be sustained without them. Your time and capacity depend upon your actions, productivity, discipline, and focus. And your future will only manifest what you’ve invested.

In this season of giving it is important to remember the gift we can be to others with our presence.
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson

LaRae Quy was an FBI counterintelligence and undercover agent who exposed foreign spies and recruited them to work for the U.S. Government. A good FBI counterintelligence investigation uncovers new information about the spy to gain deeper insights into what influences their behavior and attitudes. LaRae’s job was to dig beneath the surface, probe the unknown, and discover their identity. In the process, she ended up knowing more about the foreign spy than they knew about themselves.
LaRae was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where she learned many of the survival skills she would need as an FBI agent. After twenty years as an undercover and counterintelligence agent, LaRae became the spokesperson for the FBI in Northern California for four years. Although the job description had changed, she used the same set of communication skills to present both a compelling message and positive image of the FBI.
LaRae completed graduate studies at Arizona State University before joining the FBI. She has also completed graduate studies at San Francisco Theological Seminary.

IN JENNY’S WORDS:
Normally I would write in the third-person to tell you about how ahhh-mazing I am, and why super fancy people hire me for uber-awesome undertakings. But you know what?
Work schmerk. Let’s start with the fun stuff, shall we?
I’m a 32-year-old Silicon Valley bred career and business strategist living in the Big Apple; a world traveler not to be mistaken with a backpacker (as I most certainly cannot be relied upon to pack lightly); a yoga lover and gadget fanatic.
An eternal bookworm and quote junkie, I am always on the lookout for just the right book “prescription” for whatever might be standing in your way (or mine). When I’m not buried in a book, magazine, newspaper, moleskine notebook or gadget, you will find me walking through the streets of Manhattan with a rockin’ soundtrack playing, imagining I’m the lead in a movie called “New York City, Starring Jenny Blake.” I know . . . it’s ridiculous.
I love staying active—yoga, pilates, walking and dancing keep me grounded, strong, happy and sane—but not without an ulterior motive: to work off at least one delicious multi-course meal I delight in on weekends. Finally, I am a shamelessly gooey romantic—I love asking people how they met their significant other; watching their smile widen and their eyes sparkle as they tell their story. It is priceless…and contagious. Try this sometime.

Teams do not take the field predicting defeat or loss. Even as the underdog, a will to win gives them a fighting chance! If they take the field and telegraph defeat in advance, none of us will buy a ticket to witness such a heartless spectacle.
As contenders in the stadium of life, if we approach our day predicting failure, loss, disappointment and defeat, we will never see the potential we possess.
Discover the power of your personal flag and raise it with confidence!
SEE YOU ON THE HILL!
