Chronicles Of A Modern Beast

The world can give you everything you ever wanted but it doesn’t mean you’ll truly be happy with yourself. Happiness is unlocked by reaching into your heart and finding out what you’re seeking. Society and Social Media place regulations on people to make them feel like they aren’t enough until they are walking around throwing cash in the air and driving as lamborghini. The truth is it’s all an ill...

Society puts limitations and restrictions on a lot of things in this world, telling people their goals are unrealistic and can never be accomplished. The 1% is the 1% for a reason. They answer to no one, and they spend their time researching how to be the best. Their mind is an informative sponge that collects anything important thrown their way. What are you going to do to become the next 1% in y...

There are those who are self-taught, self-educated, and ultimately self-liberated. The box we’ve been given to create our lives in doesn’t work for everyone.

The difference is what we do with the time we have. We can fall in line with the status quo and be complacent, or step outside...

The best-made plans are always apt to change whether we want them to or not. Sometimes we start our lives out of school with a mission to have a predictable and perfect life, only to come up short.  Twists and turns are inevitable, but we always end up where we’re supposed to be, following a path we couldn’t have predicted better for ourselves.    Paul Halme is a serial entrepreneur, UFC World Cha...

A part of life is experiencing it.  The lessons.  The mistakes. The heartache.  The successes. The wins.  As we grow, we learn to control what we can and let go of the things that we can’t. After all, we’re not completely in control, even though we like to think so.  But here’s the beauty.  If we’re fortunate and wise enough to seek out counsel, friendship, and partnerships with those who have don...

Burnout is a real thing.  It affects millions of Americans, especially entrepreneurs. They spend so much of their time trying to build a business by doing all the things that go into it like billing, the structures, the processes, the customer service, product creation…….the list goes on.  Eventually, we run out of bandwidth and realize we’ve created such an enormous amount of opportunity, that we...

The beautiful thing about life is you never know where it’s going to take you.  A few things are for sure; you’re going to have struggles and you’re going to have wins.  You’re going to laugh, cry, and have reasons to celebrate.  You’ll be tested and tried and throughout the process, you will continue to grow into whom you are intended to be. Today’s guest is someone who is going to take you on a...

There’s something tap, tap, tapping in the back of your head. It’s there for a reason. You’ve just chosen to ignore it this whole time.  What would happen if one day you woke up and decided “today would be the day” you chose to do something about it by taking massive action? Your world would look different.  You would start sitting up straighter, walking taller, and feel yourself stepping into who...

Have you ever looked in the mirror, truly looking at your face without breaking your own gaze as you ask exactly who the f#ck you are?  The truth is not something many people are courageous enough to search for. Very few do the research to discover where they come from. Chances are, your family has been here for generations, but do you know where they come from and who they are?  Today, you’re in...

As men, we think we have to conquer the world.  And we’re not wrong. It’s something that’s born into us, but the ego has a challenging way of getting in the way of truly working on ourselves, fixing the broken thought processes and habits that remove life from our relationships.  Doug Mitchell is one of the most humble people you’ll meet, and he’ll be the first to tell you his impactful story of r...

Some of us have started over at one point or another in our lives either due to divorce, a death in the family, or circumstances beyond our control.

As human beings, we put things in 2 categories……..good or bad.  These are two labels that get associated with emotions and as we know, emotions are very strong and can cause us to over judge ourselves which can keep us in vicious cycles of self-abuse.  At the end of the day, there’s only so much you can do.  The rest is rooted in one thing………..choice.  Everything you think, say, and do will determ...

It’s really easy to compare yourself to others based on outward appearances, but you’ll be doing yourself a disservice by not paying attention to what’s truly important……..the foundation of why someone is the way they are.  At 17, Greg Michelman found himself like most people do after high school; out on the streets with no concept of how to pay rent, make a living, or care for oneself.
