“Competition is for losers” is a quote by Peter Thiel, a billionaire entrepreneur. Where does that quote land with you? As this podcast is about discovering truth, Coach Nick and I frame this week’s conversation around BIG VISION. We know we don’t need to have all the answers, the processes, or the procedures for how to accomplish our long-term goals… The execution part comes with an understanding...

We hit the Fool’s Choice; we cover choosing the truth vs. choosing a friend; we talk about our own meaning and purpose; and we co-create so much more on this week’s episode – enjoy!

Success leaves clues.  And one thing successful people do is deal with “ things ” well. I’m talking about the unpredictable … the external factors … the things out of our control . Anyone can be successful if everything goes according to plan.  What we’ve noticed about successful people is that they seem to handle situations very well when the unpredictable happens. How? According to thi...

Have you ever experienced a time where your “high standards” cause you to not end up taking action?  If high standards cause you to freeze and wait for something better to come along, you may be expressing symptoms of a perfectionist … What better way to discover the antidote of perfectionism than from the mouth of a recovering perfectionist?! Coach Nick talks about the journey all the way fr...

If you don’t win September, you’re screwed for the following year! This is Coach Nick’s casual way of saying Q4 starts NOW, and sets the tone for the following year too… Instead of becoming a victim of your schedule, how might you focus your INTENTIONAL TIME on what’s most important for the rest of 2022? When we have clarity, we can win.  It behooves us to get out ahead of it ; to focus on wh...

Why do we do anything? What’s our purpose? What’s our meaning for existing? These are existential questions that benefit ANYONE who has the wherewithal to slow down and contemplate. That’s what we do on #truthseekers! Our conversations are intentional time to slow down and translate our feelings into words… what we’re going through… how we see our progress being made. On this week’s episode, we co...

The more you enjoy something, the more valuable it is.  When you enjoy something, you put more of yourself into it, thus making it more valuable for others.

How long does it take to come out of a funk? …those times where you don’t feel quite yourself.  You feel off … Something about that feeling used to put me into a spiral for months… who KNOWS how much time I would give away as I wandered away from what I wanted!!! That doesn’t happen anymore (the wandering).  And this situation in which I found myself recently had me pondering why. What w...

What are some of your practices, habits, techniques, and strategies to navigate the times you are feeling “blahhhh”? One major coaching principle we embody is called “future pacing”. This is the practice of thinking about the space we WANT to be in; not the one we currently find ourselves. And once we’re in that space, what would it feel like? As we coaches navigate this conversation on this week’...

How do you keep it fun? When you CHOOSE to engage in activities that bring you joy, excitement, and fun, you are the best version of yourself. Why? It gives you access to a higher version of you; more articulate, more creative; less guarded and more fluid.  Being your true authentic self.  Magnetism. Not to mention… when you are the best version of yourself, it gives others permission to...

The art of setting goals… If we set goals that are too easy, that’s boring. If we set goals that are impossible, that’ll demoralize us. So how do we set goals?  How far into the future should our goals be set?  How do we know we are setting the correct goals for ourselves? The coaches navigate certainty with goal setting on this week’s episode of #truthseekers .  They talk about bei...

The coaches are off and running on their Second Century of episodes! This week’s #truthseekers conversation comes with a bit of a shakeup in the environment, but more of the same of what we’ve come to know: picking apart the simple principles.

Why is it that when we have highly emotional, high-stakes conversations, we perform at our worst? This week, Coach Jon Z and I tackle the most controversial topics we could come up with to prove that our approach to CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS works! There are 3 ingredients to crucial conversations: High emotions High stakes Opposing opinions We were unscripted and uncensored during this week’s #truthse...

Can growth feel good?  Might you be associating growth with uncomfortability?  If yes, then this conversation is for you! Growth and comfort are 2 sides of the same coin - yin and yang.  We cycle back and forth like a pendulum, enjoying brief moments of equilibrium, only to swing further towards one direction vs. the other (growth vs. comfort). What is that phenomena?  How can...

This week’s #truthseekers conversation is a continuation of last week’s conversation about the coaching path. Whether or not you have decided to invest in coaching, this episode is for anyone who feels like they are leaving something on the table. What we mean by that is: there is more. You are capable of more. There is more to achieve, more quickly. There is another level you have yet to unlock....

Are you willing to take the next step? That’s really what success is, isn’t it?  Progress. Our journey to achievement is made up of dozens and hundreds of tiny steps.  The difference between extremely successful people and people who accomplish very little is miniscule! Highlight those things.  Make them important.  Since they are so simple, we are at risk of breezing right ove...

As your success grows, the models you must adopt to achieve more must become simpler. Think about it... leverage trumps effort every time.  Your efforts are only needed to establish enough momentum until you can reverse the flow... have your work, work for you.  You must do more more more more more, then all of a sudden, you must figure out a way to do less! This is just part of what we...

        What's the story you're telling yourself?  Sometimes we find ourselves having lousy days, or days that we're low energy, or days that we're not getting results that we want.         It is inherent upon us to reflect when we have those days, and think about the story we are telling ourselves.  Where ar...

       Coach Nick and I break down the science of expansion on this week's episode of #truthseekers .        We break down the shift in consciousness when we experience "crazy" on a consistent basis... or when we experience "busy" on a consistent basis.  For example, when we experience something crazy for 10 days in a row,...

      "The more that we achieve - the more that we accomplish - so, too, expands our capacity ... our potential ."       Stretching what we are capable of is like blowing up a balloon... sure, the air could go out.  But the balloon will never go back to the way it was.     The same is true with what we are capable...

    "Continuous improvement is in my DNA" ~ #truthseekers guest Tamar Nelson.     Drawing from the industrial and systems knowledge she accumulated in Japan, Tamar now makes it a point to always go to “Gemba” or the shop floor, enlisting and empowering those who work within the system/organization to improve operations continually. Using this knowledge at an...
