Path to Warren Podcast

In this episode, I share about my current eating plan. Deciding to eat healthy is a lifestyle change. I discuss what I am currently eating and not eating. I discuss a few things that are working for me and things that I have learned along the way.

In this episode, I share how two days ago, my day didn’t start out like it could have because I chose to check emails first when I got to work instead of doing my normal routine. When I get to work each day, the first habit that I do is my Gratitude List, my Prayer List, and my Affirmation List....my GPAs. When I choose to check emails, I am off to being responsive, defensive and reactive. Doing w...

In this episode, I share how I had to make a phone call yesterday to a coworker about his discontentment with a Facebook post I did for the company. His fear is hysterical really. I am learning in recovery that if you can’t love someone, then tolerate them because “Love and Tolerance” is our creed....but man it is hard to do sometimes.

In this episode, I share about my favorite way to answer the question why do you meditate? It makes me 10% happier. I would suggest giving meditation five minutes a day and see what it does for your life. Commit to 30 days of a simple five minutes a day.

In this episode, I share about letting go of two items on this second day of the 30 day minimalism challenge. Yesterday, I donated a broken electric pressure washer along with many other items.

In this episode, I share about a game that I created to help get Maddie into a healthy habit of reading. I created a 30 day challenge for us to play by using ping-pong balls. This is a game where she earns “reading tokens” to later use for electronic device time. Looking forward to keeping you posted.

In this episode, I share about a recent documentary that I saw on Netflix about minimalism. I believe that this is the perfect next step for my recovery. Decluttering all of the junk that I have accumulated and starting fresh. Getting rid of things that I don’t want or need. Not holding onto items that are just taking up space and are rarely used. I’m excited about finding out what I really need i...

In this episode, I share how my recovery over the last year is quite similar to using a bottom plow. Three years ago, I worked on getting sober from drugs and alcohol. Two years ago, I worked on debting, money and eating. Last year, in 2020, I focused on sex and love...which feels like using a bottom plow to turn over all the dirt from childhood.

In this episode, I share a few thoughts and suggestions that I had in a conversation this morning with my action partner about his local restaurant. Instead of focusing on what to cut in spending, if he would focus on increasing revenue, that would be much smarter. 10X the amount of efforts on videos for marketing, 10X the energy spent on making sure we don’t run out of frozen Grab-N-Go items. I s...

In this episode, I share how I received an email from our accountant with updates on the second round of the government’s Corona virus financial aid bill. This felt like being asked to go to the bar and take a drink. I started sneaking around my wife’s back and emailing the accountant. I am enough today. I shared about this on a DA phone meeting this morning and got an attaboy for sharing about it...

In this episode, I share how in a meeting with my accountability partner recently, his suggestion to me was to expect nothing more from others. After Christmas 2020, my resentments were high following having to spend time with my siblings and a ton of family. Why? Why was I so disturbed by these folks. It was because I had expectations of different endings. Having expectations are resentments unde...

In this episode, I share a trick I learned about stretching your muscles on God’s time. Breathing through the stretch and not rushing it. Also, I share about a favorite quote that I heard this weekend from Hal, “The grief brings the healing, the healing brings the wholeness.” Finally, I share about being emotionally hungover now from a weekend with my family and my in laws. Today, I know it is ok...

In this episode, I share how Christmas 2020 was spent with my family. Everything revolving around food, I have to abstain from certain foods. It’s not for 30 days, it’s one day at a time.

In this episode, I document a decision that I need to pivot from and how I am working through the process. What was a neat idea of starting a big newsletter with paid advertising from other vendors has shifted with Covid-19. Plus, the creation of our digital ebook as allowed me to get it out to people via my Outlook email signature.

And this episode, I share about a recent acronym that I came up with after hearing someone share and mentioning the word “slip“ about 18 times and their qualification. It really frustrates me to hear the word slip and how some people slept so many times. We have to stop the behavior in order to find and have a conscious contact with Higher Power.

In this episode, I share about a recent quote that I heard on the Secret to Success podcast. These guys shared about how working as a police officer on the night shift, the only places that sold food were places that have value meals. The value meals he realized might be the cheapest thing on the menu but they are not the best value for your body. Most of the police officers ended up being overwei...

In this episode, I share how growing up I used to hear my dad correct people for how they thought about paying taxes. He would let them boast about getting a big tax return back this year from the government, then he would lean over and tell me “Son, remember, if you ain’t payin taxes, you ain’t makin’ any money.

In this episode, I share about the process of me taking out a loan from my granddad to buy a larger truck. The story of him being in the hospital and I had missed his loan payment. The first day of the month came and I had not mailed or hand delivered it by the day it was due. I was late and being sick in the hospital, he knew and called me out on it.

In this episode, I share the importance of identifying who the evangelical clients are what to do with them. Identifying and then targeting these clients 12 times per year will drastically improve income. Who are those clients that love your company story, love the experience that they had working with you or clients who really want to help you grow. By capturing these names and targeting them, we...

In this rant, I get current about a situation happening with my family. How can mom not call her son for two weeks? Are we in a stalemate? Is she siding with my sick siblings because she is sick herself? Maybe I should take the higher ground and “Detach with love”...just for today.

In this episode, I share about how there is a difference in being intimate with my partner today than it was two or three years ago. Recently, I have started to invite my Higher Power into the bedroom and I am not ashamed to say that sometimes I say the Lords Prayer and or the Third Step Prayer during sex. These have helped me to not fall into a lustful sex but to create spiritual sex with my part...

In this episode, I share about a recent example where someone should have called first. In today’s marketing climate, sending emails is just not enough. A phone call first can move mountains. If you cannot get the person over the phone and you have not heard back within 48 hours, then try sending the email but I always try calling first. This method cannot be reversed it is not ideal to email firs...

In this episode, I share how I started a new practice of writing out my Affirmation List. This list is on the same page as my gratitudes and prayers. I’m only doing a minimum of three affirmations and prayers a day, but I feel so good about them that I might increase that number one day. Making sure that I do all of these, I added them to my Bookend 0 list and called them GPAs. Gratitudes, Prayers...

In this episode, I share about some neat one liners that I recently heard on a sales podcast. I can spend so much time looking up people, Googling their names and updating information in our CRM. However, in need to remind myself that these are not CFT activities, as discussed in Episode 85. This is research. Stick to Prospecting during the Golden Hours. Protect our these Golden Hours.

In this episode, I share about a new technique I started using to measure my outbound calls and activities. The idea of differentiating between what is administrative work vs what is actually CFT, Customer Facing Time can really help. I share my experience and my simple method for tracking.
