How is it that 80% of our current lives and focus is actually our past self (security) that stops us from becoming our 10x future self (freedom)?   IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I interview Dr. Benjamin Hardy, an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker and best-selling author who focuses on the psychology of exponential growth and transformation, future self science, and entrepreneurship.    We als...

Brother and sisters on their journey home.  I am inspired by the mess and eventual triumph one experiences as they navigate their own personal hell.  IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share some quick thoughts on the EDGE OF EXISTENCE and how we might navigate the deep waters afforded by true growth...

Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. brilliantly proclaimed:   “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”   What he knew and exemplified is simply the notion...

Werner Erhard defined personal power as: "...a function of the rate at which you translate intention into reality. Most of us disempower ourselves by finding a way to slow, impede, or make more complex than necessary the process of translating intention into reality." Eventually, there's no escaping the big questions: What's my best life? What do I believe in? Where do I belong? IN THIS WEEK’S EPI...

In 1 Corinthians 4:3 Paul reveals his stoic view on the opinions of others, while also sharing some of his recipe for personal progress: “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.” It’s clear to me that Paul had little time nor space in his own head for the opinions of others, neither did he entrench himself with self...

I believe the greatest introduction I could make for this week’s guest is simply this…he’s a dear friend. He’s someone who was there as a co-facilitator during one of the most pivotal moments in my life.  IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE you’ll meet Travis Anderson. Travis Anderson is the founder and president of Culture Builders, a global management consulting firm based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Known for...

Bedros Keuilian advised: “Don’t ever make permanent decisions on temporary feelings. The pain of loss, fear, regret, shame, anger, hopelessness and rejection will pass...and when it does...you’ll make the right decision for your life when you’re clear-headed. How quick are we to assume, react, and then act based on a biased judgement? How often do we take a path of comfort rather than one that cha...

They must be felt with the heart.” IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on the BATTLEFIELD OF CHANGE and how we as humans beings tend to postpone change in an effort to stay in the comfort of our own pain.

Brendon Burchard said: “If you are tired, sleep. If unclear, meditate. If sore, move. If angry, forgive. If unhappy, love. If bored, give. Common sense is not always common practice and so we suffer.” Seems clear, yet the internal resistance and justification to steer clear of the obvious, is something we continue to give power. IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on th...

In Robin Sharma’s book “The Leader Who Had No Title,” he shares an opening notion that “Getting lost along your path is a part of finding the path you’re meant to be on. Sometimes we need to get off track before we can develop the clarity to be on track.” IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on OWNING OUR MESS and how we as humans beings tend to deflect the mess of chang...

Seth Green said of himself: “All of my activities are so pedestrian. The extreme sport I play is ping pong. And we play it hard. If any of you suckers want to step up to the table, be ready.”  Well we did play a little ping pong. We tried to score the match. Brad definitely had the upper-hand, built from wisdom in the trenches. Ultimately this match goes to the noble gamesman.   IN THIS WEEK’S EPI...

In his pamphlet series, The American Crisis, Thomas Paine declared that “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.” IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on CROW...

Two quotes; the first by Keith Cunningham which reads: “Growth is what you say “yes” to. Success is what you say “no” to,” and the second by Robin Sharma: “Every time you resist temptation and pursue optimization you invigorate in yourself heroism.”  What do they have in common? Personal ownership requires just that, so let’s start with JUST ONE DAY.  IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you so...

Everything hinges on mindset. Every single action we take starts right there. One of the most powerful tools in our lives is that squishy matter between our ears governed by the choices we make each day. We also have this uncanny ability to program and train our brains to adopt fabricated or designed realities as a way to help us adapt to change or combat insecurities. As an example of this: Ego d...

“YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOUR BRAIN, however, you do have the ability to choose what you will think. There’s great freedom that comes from that understanding. Further more, I don’t have to bring the past into my present and future.”  Every once in a while someone really good at their craft comes along in a way that is simply remarkable. For me, the key attribute of personal ownership and responsibility i...
