Relentless Forward Progress with Mike Ubaldini

RFP Podcast #15 – Having trouble getting started? We are an intelligent race and we know, for the most part, what the right things to do are. For many of us, we know what we must do to get to where we want to go. Then how come we are reluctant to do those things? Are we afraid? Are we looking at the long road ahead? Is it just too hard??? Recently I had some of those moments starting up training a...

RFP Podcast #14 – Prepare your kids to leave the house!! Came across this article this morning from allprodad.com. http://www.allprodad.com/5-ways-to-prepare-your-kids-for-life/ We work hard to try to prepare our children to leave the house. This link goes into some detail on that and the podcast digs a bit deeper on the topic. “Act as if you do matter, because you do.” – Dr. Henry Cloud

What blueprint are you trying to live by? We spend a lot of time trying to control the outcome of a situation. We try to live each day according to a specific blueprint or set of expectations. In reality life doesn’t operate that way or care about the blueprint. Things come into our life each day that are meant to drive us off course. How are we going to react to them? Are we going to let those ci...

RFP Podcast Episode #12 – “Who do we want to be in 2018?” As we put a bow on 2017 and begin 2018 let’s think about what comfort zones do we want to move beyond. What risks and what uncertainty do we need to face to be the person we want to be at the end of the year? Remember to let go of the outcome and focus on the process and commitments every day. “All that I want is what I can see and what I c...

“Are you operating out of Love or Fear?” We spend our time either operating out of fear or love. Those moments where we have doubt, hesitation, skepticism – that is fear. When we have gratitude, appreciation, kindness – that is love. Love is when we grow. Over the last two weeks I experienced moments of both, along with obstacles put in my bath as I work to grow each day. Those obstacles presented...

RFP Podcast Episode #10 - “How do we judge others?” It has been said that we make a determination of someone within the first 15 seconds we meet them. How often have we missed out on meaningful, life-changing relationships because we judged someone by the way they look, what they said, how they shook her hand, or the engagement in the 1st 15 seconds? Are we losing out on some great relationships?

As we move into the last few weeks of 2017 we start to begin looking at what we want to have as our New Year’s resolutions. We typically start off in January with great intentions but life tends to happen and get in the way and by mid-February those resolutions are no longer existing. A few years ago, we started shifting our focus on goals & resolutions to daily commitments and habits we can creat...

In this episode, we talk about a couple of great experiences from the last week where another man shared his concerns, struggles, and insecurities with me and I did the same with another. I’ve been fortunate to be married to my best friend for almost 16 years and I’ve shared with her most of my insecurities and vulnerabilities. She has been an awesome resource for me and will continue to do so. Ho...

Do we see our relationships with one another as a priority? Most people want to be heard & loved. We are focusing on the value we, as human beings, have in each other. It has been a challenging 7-10 days for us & we have been presented with many opportunities for growth as a family. This got me thinking about some past journal entries & thoughts that I wanted to share. Notice the similarities in t...

“How do we react to our circumstances?” It is very hard to control the circumstances and thoughts in our lives. Both come and go and many times we are wondering where they came from? Most of us human beings out there wait until those circumstances become intolerable before we realize a change needs to be made. For me it was being broke, depressed, completely defeated and having suicidal thoughts....

This episode of the RFP podcasts reflects on things we learned & reflected on over the Thanksgiving break. Human beings, each other, are the biggest assets we have. We spend a lot of time hiding behind masks to prove our worth to others when we are already worthy.

There is so much to be grateful for & this time of year we become more aware of that message. In this episode we talk a bit about that & how important it is to find that belief in ourselves.

As a father or parent in general, we want to be there for our kids & many times fix there problems. We hate to see them disappointed or let down. However, are we doing them a disservice if we are always solving their problems for them?

In this episode of the Relentless Forward Progress we talk about getting to this point & launching the podcast. It took many moments of getting uncomfortable until it became comfortable being vulnerable.
