It's Work Podcast: Recent Episodes
Rocco Cozza: Entrepreneur, Lawyer, Investor, Speaker, and Coach
Tired of hearing about the how easy it is to be successful? Curious about what it really takes? Well, this podcast is for you. As the title says, it's work. Success takes work. Success is hard. It is a grind, there are ups and downs. You will want to give up, quit, get frustrated, but guess what....that is part of the process. We are going to talk about all things success and failure in business and in life. I want to give you the real story about what it takes to be successful using my own life experiences, good and bad, to show you that what you are going through is ok. We all go through it.....
I spoke in September about the 2 self's we all have. Well, since then, I have done quite a bit of research into this topic and have learned a lot from the famous psychologist Carl Jung. In his works, he talks a lot about the Persona and the Shadow. The 2 sides we all have. What I have found most interesting is the fact that the integration of the two is what makes man so powerful.
In this episode, I talk about the shadow integration work I have been doing and why it is important to do the same.

Ask yourself a question: are you playing to win OR are you playing not to lose? I would venture to say you probably think you are playing to win but when you really analyze your actions, you are playing not to lose. Doing so is the biggest detriment to the success of an entrepreneur. If you want to succeed, you must start playing to win!
In this episode, I discuss the journey I was on from living with a scarcity mentality to the shift to one of playing to win.

I recently attended my 20th college reunion at Washington & Jefferson College with 2 of my closest friends and fraternity brothers. While there, we began reminiscing about the old days and how so many friendships have changed over the years. But why do these things change? More importantly, why do they matter? Well, have deep, meaningful friendships matter more than you can imagine.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of having these deep relationships and how to make sure you maintain them.

As a parent, I question myself daily. Am I a good parent? Am I teaching them everything they need to know? But something I have also always asked myself is: am I learning from them? See, kids can teach us a lot when we listen and let them. My 3 kids have taught me lessons I will never forget and for that, I am eternally grateful to them. Despite all they have taught me, there are 3 really important ones that I want to share with all of you.
In this episode, I discuss the 3 most important lessons I have learned from my amazing children. I hope you enjoy!

Finding your best self is a lifelong journey. A journey of progress. This is a journey I have been on for years, but recently I found a new technique to help ensure my best self shows up daily. But first, you have to identify your best and worst self and give those 2 selfs life. That is the secret.
In this episode, I talk about the exercise of identifying your 2 selfs and why it is so important to do so.

"Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things beyond our control." - Epictetus
This quote is a simple reminder of what is important in life, but it also begs the question: how do we find freedom? This is the challenge most people face. It is human nature to worry about the things we can't control. So how do we stop or at least limit what we are worrying about? Well, the answer is simple. Find your truth.
In this episode, I talk about why you must find your truth, how to do so, and what happens when you do.

It is funny to me how much negativity there still is on the internet. That fact that people take the time to write negative comments on inspirational posts baffles me. It is obvious that they are making a choice to do so. They are making a choice to be negative. And why do they do that...because it is easy. Negativity is a default operating system of most people. This has to change if we are going to make this world a better place.
In this episode, I talk about the choice we get to make every day and how that choice can impact our life.

In society, we are embarking on a period of awakening. The amount of information we receive have exceeded our human capacity. Yet, we expect to solve new problems with old rules, leading to frustration and overwhelm in society. Well, it is time to change the rules and operate differently. It is time to become enlightened!
In this episode, I talk about the rules we have and why we need to change them if we want to continue to be successful in life!

We all tend to operate at a certain level in life. A certain degree. We have what Ed Mylett calls "governors" on our lives. These are the beliefs we have about ourselves and what we are capable and worthy of. Well, if you want to change your life, you have to change your beliefs, your governors, your thermostat.
In this episode, I talk about the beliefs we have that hold us back and what we can do to change our thermostat to achieve the life we want!

This is a monumental episode! I've done 150 episodes and I can't believe it! It has been an amazing journey and I have all of you to thank for making it such a great ride. Over the past 2.5 years, I have grown and learned so much about myself and the world at large. I am a completely different person than I was when I started this. So, in honor of this episode, I spent some time reflecting on the things I have learned.
In this episode, I talk about the 5 choices you must be willing to make if you want to be successful. These are not going to be easy choices, but ones you must make if you want more out of life!

Well, I know it has been a while since I have released an episode and I told everyone that I needed a break. Honestly, that was complete BS. There was so much more going on inside, but it took me a few months to figure it out and it wasn't pretty. Life has a funny way of smacking you in the face and stopping you in your tracks. Especially when you let it, which I did.
In this returning episode, I open up about what was going on, is still going on, and how I am dealing with it. But one thing is certain, I AM BACK and FIRED UP!

Life is a funny thing. We hit stages where we start to question choices. In my mid-thirties, I realized that I needed to do things differently and live bolder. This past weekend I got a reminder of this when I realized someone I used to listen to in my childhood passed away at the age of 43. I am 41 and this scared me.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of living boldly and making risky choices. It isn't for everyone, but it is something to ponder.

Over the years, I have learned that successful people do things differently. This is what makes them successful. But there is one thing that successful people do that separates them from all the rest. It is something so fundamental to having the life you want that once you understand it, everything changes.
In this episode, I talk about that "one" thing and how you can use it in your life to achieve the success you desire.

I recently reconnected with a good friend from high school. We had the chance to meet in person and we spent a good bit of time reminiscing about the past and how far we have come in life.

I know have a new motivation for the future.
In this episode, I discuss the importance and power of the past and why we should all reconnect with it.

As entrepreneurs and people trying to improve our lives, we will always face risk. There are all types of risks we will face, but one that isn't talked about much is emotional risk.

In this episode, I talk about emotional risk, what it is, and how to deal with it.

The story of Michaelangelo carving the statue of "David" is fascinating. He carved the famous sculpture from a piece of marble he found on a side street in Florence, Italy. When it was complete, people asked how he did it. He simply said that he saw "David" in the marble and he just had to remove everything that wasn't "David."
In this episode, I discuss how we need to do the same with ourselves and how we can reveal more of who we really are.

I recently spoke to a class of college freshmen. During the discussion, the topic of fear came up. Many of these kids were letting fear run their lives. In fact, we have all let fear dictate the things we do sometimes. But you have to learn to embrace fear because everything you want is on the other side of it.
In this episode, I discuss fear, why it is self-created, and how to embrace it to achieve the goals you want to achieve

I recently had a discussion with a fellow entrepreneur about business and life. During our discussion, we started talking about the entrepreneurs that write books talking about the journey, but how those books tend to leave out the crap. The bad days. The lack of focus. The $hit. We both agreed those are some of the most important things an entrepreneur will face.
In this episode, I talk about the bad days, the ones I have had recently, and why it is ok to talk about them.

Recently, I have met quite a few people in business that have lost sight of the service of others. They have reached a certain level and now they believe they are more valuable than they are. It jaded me a little. But then I met someone this weekend that brought everything back to me and made me realize that helping others is truly the way to win.
In this episode, I talk about this encounter I had over the weekend (and a couple cool people I met) and how it reinforced the importance of helping others in business.

How you talk to yourself is so important. I recently had a discussion with a good friend of mine who gave me a suggestion. He said that I should use the word "challenge" instead of "problem" because it changes the way we think about it. After that conversation, I started doing so and it changed a lot for me.
In this episode, I discuss why this is an important distinction to make and how the way you talk to yourself impacts the success you have in life.

Recently I turned 41. As I approached my birthday, I started to reflect on the past year and the things I did and didn't accomplish. One of the goals I had, when I turned 40, was to finish my book by the end of 2017. Complete failure. The reason: I lacked accountability to something or someone. Well, I finished the book the day before I turned 41 because I finally had accountability.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of accountability and why it matters to help you accomplish success quicker!

"If you want something bad enough, you find a way; if you don't, you find an excuse." A pretty famous saying that I completely agree with. However, I also believe there is something more to it. Motivation is an important part of getting what you want. You may want something really bad, but motivation ebbs and flows. This is something you must recognize, understand, and adapt to when it happens.
In this episode, I discuss this very concept and how to ensure that when your internal fire starts to dim, you have a way to reignite it!

It is amazing what happens when you look back on life and realize some of the things you were told and how they have impacted your life. I recently was thinking about an early mentor of mine and a piece of advice he gave me when I started my legal career. After thinking for a bit, I realized that it might have been the greatest advice I have ever received.
In this episode, I talk about what my mentor told me, why I believe it is the greatest advice, and how to use it in both your personal and professional life.

I recently attended a 3-day luxury mastermind retreat in Lake Tahoe and I cannot describe in words how it changed my life. I have been in involved in mastermind groups in the past, but never a retreat that I had to pay a decent bit of money to attend. Well, let's just say you get what you pay for and I would have paid 100 times more for this retreat. It was amazing.
In this episode, I talk about the retreat, some takeaways and why you should attend one too!

Are you experiencing life to the fullest or holding yourself back? Are you taking chances and opportunities that are given to you? If not, why?
In this episode, I discuss how a recent discussion with a client made me think of how my life has got to where it is and what I surmised is that it is because I choose to "just say yes."

If you have listened to the podcast before, you know that I am a big believer in goals. Goals setting changed my life for the better. But to get your life to the next level, you must understand why you also need a vision for life. Your vision is just as, if not more important than your goals.
In this episode, I talk about the difference between vision and goals, why you need to have both and how to maximize your life by using your vision to align your goals. Enjoy!

This past week there was a common thread among my client coaching sessions. I realized that we all struggle with limiting ourselves because we fall into the trap of doing what we think the rules of society tell us to do. Maybe it is fear, lack of confidence, or something more. But there is a solution.
In this episode, I talk about how to solve this problem and what you can do to take your life to the next level.

I recently returned home from a trip to Oakland California where I was shooting videos for an upcoming course I have coming out. While I was there, I had such a great time working with the team creating the course. We discussed business, life, entrepreneurship and everything in between. I came home so fired up to take everything in my life to the next level. The inspiration to do so came from just changing my environment.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of changing your environment every once in a while. Shocking your system is what I call it. Doing so can lead to breakthroughs like you can only imagine!

Are you one of those people that seem to have a ton of problems in life? Or maybe you just see problems everywhere. However, problems really aren't the problem. They are merely situations that happen that may be out of your control. The real problem is how you react to those uncontrollable situations. That is the real issue.
In this episode, I discuss why the problem is not the problem; the reaction to it is. Listen, learn, and let me know what you think.

In honor of Father's Day (the day I am recording this), I want to talk about being a man and setting the example for our sons. I believe being a gentleman is a lost art. Men have become soft and do not understand the concept of being a gentleman. It is not hard, there are just a few simple rules you must follow.
In this episode, I talk about my gentlemen rules and why us men must learn to follow them so that we can make the world a better place.

Today (June 9, 2018) marks 11 years I have been married to my wife Laura. The past 11 years have been a wonderful roller coaster ride. I have learned so much about myself as a person and marriage in general. We have had our fair share of ups and downs, but in the end, I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else.
In this episode, I talk about a few important tips to have a happy marriage. I am no relationship expert, but I think my experience over the years has taught me quite a bit and can hopefully help you too!

Language is an art. Language is powerful. The words we decide to use can have a profound impact on our lives, whether positive or negative. When we use certain phrases, we are telling the world something different than what the words actually mean. Not many people understand this because these phrases are so commonly used.
In this episode, I talk about 3 common phrases that can negatively impact your life and how to change what you say to change the outcome.

We have all been in a situation where we kept telling ourself that the time isn't right or there are a few more things I need to do before I start. Well, I can tell you this: there is never going to be a right time to do anything. Trying to find or wait for the right time is just an excuse to not take action. You must STOP wasting time and START taking action.
In this episode, I discuss how people waste time and make excuses that just prevent them from getting to where they want to be. Remember, the time is going to pass anyway, so why not get started today!

One of the biggest things I realized on my recent vacation is that I have been making a lot of excuses for myself lately. As I reflected, I realized that this is actually a problem for a lot of people. It is easier to make excuses why we don't have something than to believe in our ability and put in the work to achieve it.
In this episode, I talk about this problem and ask one important question at the end...

One of my favorite movies of all time is Serendipity, with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. In the movie, Jeremy Piven (Cusack's best friend) quote the greek philosopher Epictetus. The quote he states is "If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." There is so much truth to this statement and its profoundness has become more apparent lately.
In this episode, I talk about this quote and why it matters in living your best life and finding your best self.

In life, we all face a challenge, decision, or defining moment. When faced with these things, most people fear the unknown and prevent themselves from truly doing what they are supposed to. But the successful ones, they reflect on their journey that got them to that point and that reflection makes all the difference.
In this episode, I talk about the importance of reflection when making a critical decision and how reflection can change the outcome of your life.
