Pro You Podcast

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom finishes up Part II with one of his most common phrases: "How one deals with a test directly determines the outcome of the test'. This being the reason for a two-part episode and proving once again the valuable lesson it illustrates. Tom gets his notes and he has a lot of them! November has become an important month for Tom and he shares the reasons why. Lastly, Tom s...

Hello and happy Thursday! What an episode Tom has for you, the wonderful listener, today! While Tom began a story dealing with a common theme of his, "How one deals with a test directly determines the outcome of the test" his Zoom recorder stopped recording. The good news is that Tom noticed it after only a minute or so after it stopped recording and the 41 minutes recorded were saved! On the othe...

Hello and happy Thursday! The title is the first line of a T-shirt that Tom has. You have to listen to the podcast to find out what the second line is. It was just another Tuesday; just pay some bills and wash his car is what Tom had written down. What transpired? Nothing short of a huge test for Tom. One where there wasn't a true good feeling about what transpired but acceptance was the true key...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom likes Tom! Wait, what?!?! It's true. It's not that Tom didn't like himself before, it's just that he had so much noise between his ears he couldn't. The White Noise, as he calls it, didn't allow him to be present, thus he never truly thought if he did or didn't like himself nor the importance of 'being your own biggest fan' which Tom is a huge fan of now! Literally! G...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP Tom shares a theme that has been on his mind on and off for quite awhile - being alone. What does that take, being alone? Why would someone want to be alone or okay being alone? Exactly the point, no one would really want to. But where Tom is along his Pro You path, responding is the key and choosing one's response is an "8.0 out of 10" on a Pro...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom continues to delve into the Pro You experience and he is better than ever and stoked to share what he's learning and experiencing. Tom asked his clients and mentoree's to answer two questions. Tom shares the answers and is quite stoked with the awesome replies and so very proud of his tribe! Staying focused on the 'doing nothing' theme Tom continues to investigate wha...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has always been a strong believer in the quote "If you like what you're getting, keep doing what you're doing." And Tom is! With hindsight and clarity Tom can see how he got to where he is at the age of fifty-five in October of 2020, and that's what Tom is selling on today's episode! Cutting out the bad simply means more space for the good; the good that lies within a...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom revisits a topic that he has previously shared on PYP as well as a Sunday Morning Message he sent out in '06. Stopping, pausing and reflecting Tom has done but what about doing nothing? Well, once again easier stated and much harder to apply/accomplish. Understanding the importance of downtime, Tom really focused on what doing nothing is, what it involves and how one...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP, Tom shares the two powerful words he has been using with his own Pro You path and his clients: move forward. Tom has mentioned efficient living and to simply move forward freely and easily is the truest sense of efficiency. There is no benefit to dwelling, questioning why or placing your time and energy into things you cannot control. The other...

Hello and happy Thursday! A while back Tom shared how he has truly become a minimalist; got rid of his storage unit, then got rid of anything in his home he hadn't used in a year. Consistently pursuing a life of minimalism, and the principle that less is more, Tom continued with that theme with his clothing this time. Efficient living is the goal and Tom feels the blessings/fruit of that labor. To...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom wants you to know first and foremost how much he is cheering you, the listeners, on and wanting you to know that you are the reason he does what he does - so thank you for being YOU! One of Tom's favorite quotes he has used with a few clients as of late is: "The mountain you are carrying you were only supposed to climb". So very true! Mental weight has tangible weight...

Hello and happy Thursday! A very sad but true statement, "You don't know what you have until it's gone". But it fit today's episode of Tom's PYP. That being said, Tom has experienced the good that can follow if that thing that was taken is returned - and the lasting impact if it is not. One thing Tom has always shared is that "After each individual battle we build armor. What's the armor for? The...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom continues his search for a better version of himself by examining the word Ego. Tom is understanding, or trying to understand, terms and words that he never used or that never resonated with him before. Ego is one of those words; what is it? Why do we have one? Examining and pausing are the two speeds along a Pro You path. Once you've deemed yoursel...

Hello and happy Thursday! Magic. That is what it feels like is happening in Tom's world. Little moments, but moments, that are unforgettable splashed along Tom's Pro You path like fairy dust has been sprinkled. His clients, the ones he mentors, his tribe, are all thriving. Magic. Tom and Zen sitting with coyotes... MAGIC! Day to day, moment to moment, magical moments have appeared so as Tom always...

Hello and happy Thursday! Right off, Tom admits 'staying in the moment' and a past title - 'being present' - are fairly similar. But often Tom will hear someone say something a little different and it will resonate deeply with Tom. People search for 'tools' that resonate with their own personal journey. Staying in the moment was exactly how this episode came to be. So it was an easy decision to ch...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom continues his journey - his spiritual journey to be exact.

Even his vocabulary. just check out his PYP Episode titles - words he never used before the age of fif...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom stole a few titles from his friend Scott; like today's. For a Caterpillar, the cocoon cannot be a fun time, not comfortable, not easy nor familiar. But the joy of the butterfly outweighs all of that - No Mud. No Lotus. The ProYou path is one of self discovery and it is not always good news. But once on the path of evolving, be thankful you are on it. Many others will...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP Tom is keeping it real. So real he added the hashtag 'sorry not sorry' as a part two of today's episode title. Taking out feelings; distancing oneself, allowing for separation, is the best way to gain clarity, perspective and the ability to be thankful in all circumstances. If Tom believes fully in what he is sharing, should he be sorry? Well, he...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom gets to share his incredible/magical weekend in Lake Tahoe. Once again being present is vital or truly maximizing moments that fall upon one's Pro You path. That is exactly what Tom experienced; from the drive to each moment, each conversation and even on the way home Zen and Tom stopped to watch the sunrise over a lake. Magical. Thankful. Enjoy and as always thanks f...

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was stuck for a moment; he needed to share a message but wasn't sure of the exact message. So he waited. He waited to record an episode that spoke to what he was seeing and hearing from people. Tom took some time off and he wanted to share that experience but deep inside he knew there was a message waiting to be shared if he allowed it to come to him and it did. Which...

Hello and happy Thursday! When it comes to being around Tom's good friend and client Scott Mosier, Tom is a sponge. He is loving being back in Scott's life and they are definitely vibrating on the same frequency. Tom is more present than ever and is learning the huge benefit to staying there. There isn't comparison, reference, looking back or looking forward - j u s t   n o w . The power in that i...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP, Tom shares his two out of body moments that his dear friend, and client, Scott dubbed being 'Present' - hence this week's title. Tom shares that moment with him also being commissioned to build a cross which Tom absolutely loved doing and it was a total success. Tom gets a little emotional and he spontaneously comes up with a letter that the 55...

Hello and happy Thursday! This is the third or fourth time Tom began listening to the episode so he could record the intro and wound up listening to almost the entire episode. But this time was different. Tom touches on something he thought might be a splash opinionated or it could make someone feel uncomfortable, so Tom listened a little more intuitively this time. Joy. That is what Tom felt as h...

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom shares a phrase that he always uses with his clients and those he talks to - 'being a mirror'. Tom has failed at more things than he can count and has struggled in many of the areas that the majority of people succeed in. Tom shares what's different and what he does that is not challenging and rewarding along his Pro You path. Lastly, Tom shares an...

Hello and happy Thursday! It's a good time to be Tom. That's a fact, but it is not easy for Tom to feel so good and to share it. It's actually quite unfamiliar for Tom to be this good anyways yet alone with all that is happening in the world. But Tom has stated when PYP became his journal: I'll walk the earth, have experiences and share those experiences and that's when the podcast became easier f...
