Humanity is Community. In the age of microwave content and crumbling attention spans I set out to have genuine experiences with those around me. Longing for conversations that didn’t revolve around the latest memes or the latest Twitter beef I set out to find deeper connections. Each episode we learn new ideas, cultures, and perspectives for life. Thank you for joining this movement. You could have been anywhere in the world but you’re here with me. Saddle up, adventure awaits…
You have to be willing to do more. Push Past Exhaustion, Break Your Limits. If it were easy everyone would be doing it no problem
In today's episode I share my definition of confidence, what it means to me, and how to continue to gain it throughout your life.
Success comes through repetition and stability. Something we seem to run from now a days.
A good word lifts the spirit. The right conversation can put an entire life of struggles into perspective. Don't pass up the opportunity to connect with people on a deeper level. Let your walls down.
Go out into the world and embrace your call to adventure. There is not much left for you in this place. It has left you comfort and stagnant. Change the scenery. Get uncomfortable.
Instead of asking yourself what you accomplished at the end of the day, first ask how you interacted in the world as a person. Take into accountant how you treated those walking besides you.
Episode 38! In what ways are you messing up? The mistakes that hold power over you because you keep letting them control your actions. Thus you are wasting time, hurting those around you, and not reaching your full potential. Write down how this continued action has effected your life and what will happen if you continue to pursue it over your virtues. Choose Wisely.
Episode 37! The need to be liked by everyone will make you compromise your worth as a person. I had to learn that I was not made to please other people but to contend with my own battles in life.
Episode 36! Nothing seems to be going right for me at the moment. But my faith is not down. I know that life comes with different seasons. I have been able to use this time to build up resistance in my mind. Focus on what you have instead of what is missing. Though things seem dark, still I carry on!
Episode 35! It can be difficult to set boundaries for yourself, especially if you are a people pleaser like me. We need to practice saying no to things that do not align with our spirits. Guard your heart and mind well in these times. Don't let anyone take your kindness for weakness. Don't let them lower the value you have placed on yourself.
Episode 34! Don't waste the talents and interests you have been bestowed with. In them lies the great purpose that you have been given. Life will give you whatever you ask. Be willing to put in the work and see how far your pursuits can take you.
This season in life has been teaching me so much. Time to put into practice all that knowledge I've beeb acquiring. A time for study and a time for action. Life is the ultimate teacher. Assess yourself.
Episode 32! Let us all enter a Season of Commitment Precious Keepers. No longer will we give up on ourselves because the road ahead is hard. Be committed to the better life you know is on the other side of your fear. Let's be free. Believe there is better out there for you!
Episode 31. Now that I am midway through my twenties I have been asking myself if I wasted my early youth. With people constantly saying I'm getting older now, I feel a lack of accomplishment in myself. I haven't achieved any of the lavish things I thought I would by 25.
Episode 31! A major question I have been asking myself is if I wasted my youth. I talk through what I'm feeling in this latest episode .

You have to realize that doubt is the enemy. Don’t listen to those voices in your head. They are meant to sow seeds of deceit. They are meant to befriend you. Then whispering in your ear that you aren’t good enough. Making you believe that all those things everyone ever said were true. You cannot let them proclaim this into your heart.
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt.” — William Shakespeare
Everyone once and a while we should take a step back and reflect on who we really are at the moment. Ask what you can improve. How can you treat people better? Am I living in alignment with my goals? Taking inventory on who you are at the moment will help you establish how to be the person you want to become.
When in the midst of the struggle know these are the lessons that are getting you ready for your higher purpose. Keep pushing through it all. You are stronger than you know. You will come out better on the other side.

Episode 27! I am trying to figure out what I want this podcast to represent. I want to create a community of people looking for a deeper relationship with their fellow man. Humanity is Community. The best thing I know to leverage are my family and friends. Maybe this can start with interviewing them and finding something more.
Episode 26! We meet ourselves wherever we go. If you want to have a great relationship with people that is genuine, positive, and full of hope. You have to represent that yourself. The only way we make a better world is by improving ourselves. How we see people lays the foundation for what we hope to achieve. Improve your perspective on life and change the world. Treat people better. Treat others as you want to be treated.
Episode 25! We all put an insane amount of pressure one ourselves to be great. It is good to be driven. Goals are necessary and important but let us not create a burden so big that it weighs us down. Our dreams should be things that lift us up, constantly bringing inspiration. But when attached to worth they can hold us down.
Episode 24! The Power to realize everything you want is already within you. Sometimes we just need a reminder of who we are and the energy we hold inside. It's time to develop a winners mindset to step into who we really are. Abundance is ours. Become rich in all things. All things are possible to those who believe.
Episode 23 ! If you have trusted people in your life cherish them. It is so important to keep track of these relationships because they are so hard to come by. Having people you know will have your back no matter what is vital to success in life. It can keep you from going crazy. I am lucky to have the friends I have known since Middle School still. Whether it be family or friends appreciate those that have gone the distance with you.
Episode 22! Another Year, Today is my 25 birthday. Many conflicting feelings today but I am happy to be alive. Blessed in health. The message I am constantly trying to instill into us is Perseverance. It is probably one of the most important mindsets we can build in life. This can get us through any situation we find us in Precious Keepers. Keep pushing, Keep Shining, and Keep being the light of the world. You have the power to bring so many people together, don't forget that. #TakeCareofEachOther
Episode #21! Every new day brings upon challenges that make us question why we are in this fight. We have to fight that voice that wants us to quit. We are all in a fight, depression, weight loss, a job you hate. Whatever it is you are strong for facing it. Showing up is half of the battle in life. Keep pushing through it. You are forging your mind and creating a person of great character that can handle anything. Don't give up. Don't quit. Stay the course...
Be what you want and it will surely come back to you. If you want to be loved, love. If you want friendship, be a friend. If you want money, give. The universe is balanced energy in means energy back. Put some time in.
Episode 19! A year ago at an online seminar I asked Angela Davis how she was able to keep hope during the dark times. Her response was that Hope IS a Discipline. Remember that as you go throughout your days. No matter how bad things get we must keep hope. That is what gives us the strength to go forward.
I have been alone for most of my life. It has been difficult, part of the reason I am creating this community is to find people seeking genuine relationships. To learn, grow, and connect with one another. Here's hoping we make it to that point. Cheers!
When you are feeling depressed and less than get outside as quickly as possible. The darkness lies to you and tries to capture your heart. Don't fall into its tactics, you are worthy, you are good enough. Now go get after it!
Episode 16! It is important that we prioritize our health. How we exercise, the way we eat, and how we think can dramatically improve or destroy our lives. Make sure you are doing yourself a favor and picking the right way.
Though times may be hard remember to have joy for the life you do have. This is an amazing opportunity at living we all have. Don't take it for granted.
If you are lucky enough to have people in your life that care about you spend time with them now. We only have a limited amount of life to live. On any given day it could be our last, appreciate those with love.
How we talk to ourselves reveals how we truly feel about the person in the mirror. It is important to speak to yourself as a person you love. Build yourself up rather than tear everything you believe in down. No more mental abuse.
You already have the tools to do everything you have ever wanted. Its been within you all along!
Take assessment of who you want to be.
You are the sum of the five people around you.
Do your souls align?
Values tested.
If you want to transform into something new make sure the people around you are solid too.
The underdogs on top! Your hard work will pay off one day if you keep pushing and putting yourself in the right opportunities. That is why I love combat sports on any given night you can make life right.
Episode 8! Talking about my framework for working through past experience and conquering limiting beliefs.
Don't let fear take over your mind and decide your future. Know that you have a purpose for a reason and part of that journey is coming to terms with fear and pushing forward anyways. You got this!

And this is the together, nothing podcast, episode six, I'm here to talk about gratitude and youth and, and the health I have in my body right now, which I should be thankful for every single day. You know, something we take for granted. When you have health, you take it for granted.
Be grateful for it. Live the best life that I can in these moments. Cuz there's a version of me in the future, say 10 years from now that is gonna look back and be like, wow. At 24, did I make the most out of every opportunity that I could have? Uh, I wish I could get that time back that freedom back. And we need to realize that. And even if you're an older person, don't waste this time now because there's a future version. That's like, oh man, didn't know how good you had it back then. Time is so the one thing we can't get back, you can get more money, time and relationships I think
Are probably the two most important things. Cause you can get more money. You know, you can buy more material things, all that's possible, but you can't get back time, time wasted on not doing what you're supposed to time. Not being with family and friends, time focused on minor things. My stupid BS people major and minor things, which is a Jim Rowan quote, a too focused, uh, too focused on what celebrities are doing, what new movies are coming out. You know more about a celebrity's life than a person you live with in your own home. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy. The way we live in and I'm going to try and correct that I'm going to try and be more personable. I'm going to try and be a bigger force for positivity in the people's lives around me in everything I do. I'm here to enlighten and I am the light of the world. That is the mindset I'm going with. So whether it's in conversation, whether it's in my businesses, whether it's an art, I'm going to try and bring that spark to everything that I do. Whether it's to talking on this podcast to a no, one's listening to this right now, but it's giving me the reps in to build up something great. Cause I know one day this podcast will be able to affect touch and
Connect. I say connect already. bring so many people together is my point. I know what this could be. I know what this community could be. So I'm going to keep going, keep putting my ideas out there. And I know I will find people, my precious keepers of the same mindset that I am. I know you all are out there. I just have to do the work to find you. Same thing goes with my music. Same thing goes with upward spiral. And I just had to find y'all out there. Keep putting myself out there. Not letting the fear, not letting the rejection, get to me, just keep going and keep striving. And I hope you do the same with whatever it is in your life. And if there's someone you haven't talked to in a while, give him a phone call, text, tell him you love him. Time is short. It's so limited. Life is short, but it, it can also be long. What makes it long is living with regret. Regret kills the soul. Don't let it do that. Don't let it do that. Don't hold on the burdens. Try and be better. Try and do better by the people around you.
And I'm gonna try to, if you'll promise to do it for you, I'll promise to do it for me. We can make this world a little bit better place just a little bit. So that's all. I have quick message to everybody out there to myself. And if anyone needs to listen to this, I thank you. Sincerely. This is one of the joys of my day. And now I'm gonna go put in some more work, try and build this thing up so I can meet more of y'all. So as always love peace and faith I'm out.
