The MentalEdge Podcast

Occasionally you will find a creative person at the top of the hottest, trend setting company. When they are fortunate to attain a position at the top they typically receive accolades for being out of the box thinkers and genius's. But what separates them from the "creative" people who never seem to make any progress? The difference is the adoption of the disciplines that the rest o...

Bob Owen's story is amazing.  His life long passion for the court and his ability to be resilient despite his surroundings and early limitations, pushed him naturally toward the development of a renowned and effective shooting system. One that has awarded him 10 World Medals.  A system of sequence that is as much about life as it is about swishes. His highly effective system is about to be pa...

Do dads matter? They do! And Fellas, listen up, you are about to listen to some startling statistics that support the need of your presence in your Childs life.  So many moms have held down the double role for too long.  Honestly, no matter what the situation is...a day-in and day-out relationship with your Daughter or Son is worth the effort.  There are critical roles in the family hierarchy that...

It' all said and done, right? You're just waiting for that final official legal notification that comes in the mail. You are officially divorced.  Most will tell you that this letter arrival was a liberating moment. But Fernando and I would like you to know that it's ok if at first its not so celebratory and instead feels a little like a surreal low moment.   And even though its con...

The course of Divorce part 2, Order in the court.  Here we go..I hope you landed yourself a real Perry Mason cuz you gonna need it.  All kidding aside, we hope that all litigation regarding the dissolution of your marriage will be cordial and fair...but we also want you to know, thats typically not the game plan formulated against you by your soon to be ex's attorney.  They're in it to &...

Full disclosure, this is not an episode about reconciliation. Although we will usually give the advice that you should always try to save your marriage, this is not an episode about that...for the sake of this conversation, we are going to say.."that ship has sailed". In addition this is not an episode where you'll hear two previously divorced men, bash their ex-wives. As Fernando w...

Have you ever felt like it was time to make a move? Have you ever felt like you were no longer in love with what you do for a living?  No longer loving your living is a tough place to be.....What did you do about it? Career transitions can be scary to say the least. Sometimes it's the fear of  financial in-stability that keeps you on lock down. Sometimes its the lack of personal confidence. ...

Sometimes Fernando and I like to have a little fun. Cut it up as they say...So, we asked the question to some of our Social Media Friends. What are some things that you just don't do? Here's a few. Yes of course that Rhymes...just like the little ditty at the end of the episode.  Some of our gracious friends responded. Were you one of them? Your gonna hafta listen to find out. So dont be...

Anger is a natural response to injustice. However, it often results in uncontrollable responses that evolve into regret. But it doesn't have to be that way. Is it possible that anger can be used for construction instead of destruction? Of course it is.  Remember it's not the fuel that is the problem, it's how we choose to burn it. Anger can be motivational propellent or catastrophic...

This is why we do the MentalEdge Podcast. We sat down to interview an Amazing Christian Rap Artist, “Butta the Preacher” AKA Michael Watson and what does he do right after we hit record.  Butta bowed his head and said a thankful prayer to the one true King. He didn't waste time asking if we wanted to pray. We just got to pray’n Why, because he knows every day is a gift. He knows that every op...

The Question is..."Can your Future shape your past?" Fernando and I believe it can.  We have one request, don't try to answer the question until after you listen to the Episode. Then please, let us know what you think! Remember...if you like what you heard. The most flattering thing you can do is like and share!

3 Awesosme people spent time with us last Thursday. Carter, a young man who explained to us how his Grandfathers stories intrigued him into becoming a military historian. Ms. Pauletta Washington from Polly Ann Cakes, who's personal poundcake, and signature ouey gooey Cakes will make your heart skip a beat and your head spin.  To our Friend Rianna whose grandparents love of vintage cars has fu...

The verdict is in, people are awesome. To prove this Fernando, Jay and Missy set up tent at Hobart's Amazing Thursday Night Summer Market to share the news that an incredible new  business has arrived in Hobart (CreataSpacePlace and the MentalEdge Studio) and to randomly interview anybody who was game.  The Night was full of great conversation and a little surprise for old Jay. Somehow I &quo...

Fernando And Jay get to talking about how you can sometimes get caught up in believing that you whole life aught to look like a non-stop highlight reel of incredible events.  It's a silly un-realistic fantasy that can make you feel like you're not succeeding. The truth is, Whether it be Netflix and Chill leisure or mountain top victory, those moments are only a tiny percentage of your li...

Have you ever been asked to speak in front of a crowd?  The mere mention of public speaking can tie your stomach up in knots. Sometimes it's not that pivotal though. So it's not a big deal when you say "no, no, that's ok..pick somebody else". But there are Occasions in a mans life where it is his duty to "take the mic". Its not about notoriety, its about there be...

Dana's story is extraordinary, He is a highly accomplished and Intelligent man who has decided to live a life of discipleship.  His ministry is far from conventional. Dana's calling is to help people discover a deeper relationship with Christ and he does this by waiting for an invitation and then embedding himself with the person in need who desires that deeper relationship.  Why embed,...

You might think that this isn't the espisode for you! That would be a mistake. The MentalEdge firmly believes that all around us lessons are passively being taught. All you have to do is pay attention.  In this episode you will hear a young man speak who is wise and respectful beyond his years. A young man who has found his path, a young man who doesn't make excuses. what could possibly...

If we've said it once, we've said it 1000 times. As you step forward faithfully often times the road will not resemble the way you imagined it. But if you have listened to the still small voice and continued to move forward and trust, then one thing is for sure...you won't be able to add the progress up on paper and make it make sense. Because God math isn't conventional, its E...

Fernando and I have learned many valuable lessons in 4 seasons. Many of those lessons have served us well in the future in ways we didn't expect! One of the most valuable lesson we've learned is that Compensation for service isn't always the type you swipe. You don't alway get that gas money. But we seem to have this intuitive, life learned, boomerang blessing, confidence that...

Question, did you happen to see Will Smith Slap his friend across the face on live Television just before he received the Coveted Best Actor Award? Mind-boggling! We often look at Celebrities and think that they have most of the things we want. Fame, fortune and favor to name a few. We press our faces against the glass and stare with envy or admiration yet we often forget that they are mere humans...

MentalEdgers, you are about to be blessed with the presence of two exrodinary women. It takes a special gift and courage to put your story down on paper and bravely share it with the rest of the world. The only thing more amazing and courageous is to stand on the stage of a beautiful auditorium in front of eager listeners and read it aloud to a full house. That's what Britany Miller Dawson an...

Sometimes we get a person in the MentalEdge hot seat and turn on the mics and its just flows like lava..and that's exactly what happened with Shane Evans. He's the owner and operator of the Hobart Art Theater and he shares the buisness with a trusted partner who runs the incredible Bar and Grill right next store. Together they've brought something special to the region that's h...

Tune in to find out....but here is sneak a peek cuz we love ya .  They are Interpersonal communications skills and respectful courtesies that help you lead your team intuitively all while building bullet proof relationships.  Now that was a mouthful but if you want a more comprehensive understanding all you gotta do is listen in to the conversation and the...

Fernando had this vision of a stone worker striking a rock. 100 or 1000 times..boom boom boom boom, over and over and over again and then suddenly, after what seemed like no progress, the rock broke. Was it all about the last Blow? How often do we stay vigilant until the work is done. How often do we peel off just before the breakthrough? How often do we fail to realize that the delay in completio...

Its so rare in modern Politics to hear sombody gush about their Love of the Lord. It almost seems out of place and as if God and Politics can't be residents of the same sentence without it being insanely divisive. But hold the presses, Insert the Mayor of the Great City of Hobart Indiana...Mayor Brian Snedecor. Listen to him explain his decision precision process. Listen how he handles enevit...
