Model Mindset

Imposture Syndrome is the condition of feeling anxious and not experiencing success internally, despite being high-performing in external, objective ways. This condition often results in people feeling like "a fraud" or "a phony" and doubting their abilities. Imposter syndrome is the feeling of inadequacy, self doubt, or insecurity that can prevent us from achieving our goals....

"A thermostat shapes the climate of the opinion; a thermometer just reflects it." We often times allow our environment to shape our emotions. When emotions around us are high, our naturally go up to. But what if we were the ones in control of the temperature in the room? What if we set the temperature everywhere we go, no matter what. We must be able to understand that we are in control, always. W...

Leadership is more than being the person in charge. It is more than being the one who people go to when they need permission, advice, or approval. Leadership stems from who you are as a person. It isn't a role or identity that has a set of traits you must obtain. It is about showing human elements and relating to the people who expect you to lead. Leadership is unique and has no mold, so don&#...

Think about it. How comfortable are you? How much do you seek comfort in things? Has it ever occurred to you just how much you seek out comfort in your daily lives? We are so reliant on what comfort brings us that we forget the pride and accomplishments that stem from what is uncomfortable. We forget that growth truly lives in discomfort. When that blanket of comfort is removed, and we are exposed...

Welcome to an episode of firsts! We not only have our first ever Q&A but we also are joined by our first guest host, Danielle Hunter.

We want it now! We want the results. We want the rewards. We want it to be easy. We want it to happen after we think it. But that's not reality. Patience is more than just waiting. Patience is what you do in the time you have to wait. Where is that time spent and how is it affording you to get the results you're looking for. Patience is something that we are challenged with because we live...

We can call it being in a rut, or doing the same ol' same ol'. We trick ourselves into thinking it is normal and just a part of being an adult. We wake up and do the same thing and get the same results and just coast through the days. Why? Because you have allowed and tricked yourself into feeling stuck. Being stuck is a trap that a lot of us fall into and once we allow that feeling to ove...

What are your values? How do they present themselves to you in your every day life? Our values can be like our moral compass that guides us throughout our days. But how do we know the direction we are taking is a reliable one? Developing your values is an ongoing process that we have to constantly evaluate. We as people grow, therefore, our values must change as well. Values must match growth or t...

Jay talks about his journey into fatherhood at a very young age and the challenges and joys that came from it. We also get into his role in the ESA and how he uses his skills as a fa...

Self Doubt is a learned behavior that often times has a control over us that is beyond our understanding. We just think it is a part of who we are and allow it to impact our lives. Instead of accepting self doubt, make the effort to conquer your limiting beliefs and change your state. The self doubt traits that are wired into your brain can be retaught and you can have complete control over your n...

Is reflecting something that we do with intent and purpose or just an exercise we do when our mind wanders? Reflection is a great tool to make the proper adjustments for what is to come. We need to reflect on the past to get ready for the future. There is immense value in reflection. So this week, make the time to think back on those fond or maybe not so fond memories and look for the value, not j...

Ohhhh baby! It may be the most fun topic we have done to date. Lets talk about Energy! Energy is any and everything that keeps us going in our lives. It comes from people, places, things, and everything in between. It is up to you on how you choose to take in and give out energy. What gives us energy allows us to have the reserves to put out the energy we want as well. It is something we can contr...

You ever get asked the question, what is your passion, but don't have the answer? Whether it is someone else, or you asking that, it is something that could cause some serious self questioning. That means it is time to really stop and consider what your passion is. How it helps you. How it helps others.

We often times make a healthy eating lifestyle seem like an insurmountable hill to climb. But really, if you break it down and just try to work with the basics, you really can create a very effective eating habit. We talk about the effects our nutrition has on our behavior, energy levels, and what foods provide you with what your missing in your daily consumption. Eating healthy shouldn't be h...

Why do we fear commitment so much? What is it about that word that gives so many people feelings of resistance and anxiety? Maybe it has more to do with the lack of understanding of where commitment starts within yourself. We too often allow ourselves to feel trapped because what we see waiting on the outside is growth. In order for us to grow we have to commit to many things within ourselves and...

Now he focuses on how he can help other people grow and have the...

We have so much going on in our lives that we often put ourselves in isolation, caught up in our own day to days. We allow this cycle to make us believe that we are in this cycle alone and often forget that we have people in our lives who can not only relate, but help. So how do we identify these people? How do we know we can lean on them, or trust them? How do we trust ourselves to trust them? We...

We are so excited to talk about todays topic! It is something that we have become big believers and practitioners in, meditation. Meditation has a certain perception due to the fact that it is extremely misunderstood. There is a feeling that a level of mastery has to be developed in order to have it be part of your routine. In reality, it is the exact opposite. We talk about our methods, the benef...

The ability to strengthen our inner systems come from our intentions. The thing about having good intentions is, its like a trust fall for your life. For every decision you make, if you have good intentions, then you made the right decision. Its easy to get caught up in the result, but that is not what you should be basing your decisions off of. Intentions keep you on the right path. Its a path th...

One of the best nights in our professional lives. We spent 2 hours inside of Cybulski Reintegration Center speaking with 50+ inmates. We walked through our “why”, structure, limiting beliefs, and self confidence. We give you all a glimpse into the prep, day of, and how we felt leaving that day and how it’s something that we are forever grateful for.

We often times focus too much on the destination and not the journey. We get so focused on what the finished product will look like that we forget to fully understand and appreciate all the steps it takes to have a finished product. Every thought. Every meeting. Every late night or early morning. There is no finished product without a process. The process is a grind and it can break you down at ti...

Kev just finished an incredible 250 mile race through Arizona to help raise funds for the Kennedy family. We sit down with Kev to disc...

We often let the hard road dictate our long term decisions. We face a hardship and think that is what is ahead for us so we make it easy in our minds to choose failure. But what happens if you choose to just push through the setbacks, questions, and failures and decide no matter the obstacle, you will not give up. This is where few people go. This is where success lies. You have to be willing to b...

Look at the brighter side! Yea, a little easier said than done. The fact is, being optimistic is a learned behavior. It is something that you develop at a young age and grow the skills on how you choose to utilize it. For those who are pessimists, the skill of being an optimist is seemingly unattainable. It is not because they don't want to be more optimistic, its that they don't know how....
