SMFR The Podcast

There are energy takers, and there are energy givers. We all know this but in this podcast we define the differences and the amazing impact they have on our lives (and our physical and mental well-being).  Truth be told, all of these are pretty much a microcosm of what SMFRThePodcast has been about - and will continue to be about - because we all need these l'il reminders to stay on track ami...

I think a lot of us would agree that many of us suffer from some form of depression; the really bad kind requiring serious attention, to simple, everyday funky stuff that puts us, well, into a funk. This l'il episode is helpful for the latter. Hey it works for me and is a reminder for all of us to take it easy on ourselves. Love all y'all! Support the show

We can (and do) get so bogged down with constant phone-checking, going down rabbit holes, and endless social media bombardment that we can "lose the forest for the trees" so to speak. In other words, losing sight of our daily and long-terms goals - and dreams - and getting caught up in stuff that means nothing to us in the grand scheme of things. Rethink it all, reset (and drop the loser...

Get your mind right... call it meditation, or just plain ol' chillaxing, but we simply have to take time for ourselves (and our little gray cells as Poirot would say) during our busy lives. George Harrison (ex-Beatle and noted meditation dude) equates it to the ocean; it's always changing up top - storms pop up, etc - but the bottom of the ocean is always calm and still. If we can block...

Vibe shift. Are you familiar? You may be a part of it, and it's a real thing: Those of us tired of the government, media, corporate America shoving things down our throat are seeing things for what they really are - and we want our lives back and to be left alone. Pretty cool stuff and it's gathering real momentum... and hope for the future (our kids, our families). Love all 'yall!...

7 ways to say no... there are probably more but these are fairly polite ways to avoid getting into a situation you might regret later. Sometimes we're so concerned about hurting others' feelings (or just coming off the wrong way) and we say "yes" to projects or things that really don't benefit us, our families, or whatever the end result is on the whole dealio. So let&apos...

5 times to be quiet - not always easy to do, but very effective for our own selves as well as those around us.  Hey, sometimes we don't feel like swinging from the chandelier or being the life of the party. In those times, let's be reflective (or just plain ol' quiet) and enjoy the moment. Real stuff, real good... and - you know it - I love all y'all! Support the show

I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with my buddy Carter about last nights' Bailey Zimmerman concert, as well as about things that interest him. He's a great dude and so proud to have him on the ol' Steve "My Friend' Reeb SMFRThePodcast. Enjoy and remember that I love all y'all! Support the show

A brief ode to one of my favorite books. Written by Dale Carnegie back in 1948, its' lessons are applicable today more than ever.  Hope these short podcasts provide a groovy l'il respite to your day, and guess what? I love all 'yall!

5 things to improve our day - instantly! Things like peace of mind, laughing with others and the like may seem superficial (and maybe a little goofy, especially if we're having a crummy day). However they work for me, so maybe give them a try? You betcha. Love all y'all! Support the show

5 rules to stay positive in 2024, or really any year, or any time going forward. We're challenged more and more these days, as well as bombarded with information that may not be important to us. Let's get back to basics and to grounding ourselves; staying true to our goals and ideals. Credit goes to Robin Sharma for this topic, which I've expounded on with my own thoughts that hopef...

United we stand - we must - in the face of the government, media and controlling corporations/organizations (WEF, anyone? Yikes.). They're constantly trying to divide us with labels, biased news and policies, and groups they fund (Antifa, etc) to infiltrate and cause friction among us. However, we know (yes, we do) that our strength comes from being united, not from separate groups attacking...

Every heard of Crab Mentality? I hadn't, but sure know what it is and I'll bet you do as well. Another way to phrase it is "divide and conquer" or getting us to fight amongst ourselves while keeping us from our goals or from the bigger picture overall. It comes from Big Brother (the media and government) all the way down into our personal lives. Let's unite and support eac...

I don't think any of us would consider ourselves lazy, so maybe "procrastination" might fit better here. Regardless, these 6 tips are very cool IMO; some I've applied in life, and a couple I've never heard of but am going to try them out after researching. They sound legit. See what you think, thanks for letting me share these podcasts with you. Love all y'all! Suppor...

Ever heard of The Red Car Theory? It's a metaphor for seeking out opportunity in our daily lives). Check out the short explanation here and then... get after it! Love all y'all; thanks for letting me be a part of your lives with these l'il reminders for all of us! Support the show

Manage your environment and recondition (yes, "re") yourself for success. We all get our minds right with constructive mentors, books, and what-not... but then (guilty as charged) gradually veer off and start taking things for granted. Then you know what happens, right? Bad habits or even just forgetting the progress we've made. Hopefully this l'il podcast gives us all a remind...

We can't overthink our way to a better future, and certainly not to a better past. Let's take the positives from the past and learn our lessons for the future. Everything else is negative junk that we need to file away and forget forever. Overthinking just sucks. Hey, love all y'all! Support the show

Laying some basic ground is a great way to set ourselves up for success; with new friends, business associates, and just things in general. Not surprisingly it entails the simplest of things such as remembering someone's name, being interested in what they're saying, being empathetic (Yet confident in ourselves). Yup just simple stuff that all comes back to us in the form of success... b...

Here's how: Remember, our subconscious mind executes whatever ideas we feed it. Good or bad. That's what it all comes down to, so let's use our imagination to simplify and to visualize the awesome results we want to achieve - and lordy, let's certainly not overthink things. Easy does it right?  Love all y'all! Support the show

Inspiration for this l'il podcast comes from a song  that Lukas Nelson (Willie's son) wrote, called Turn Off The News (Build A Garden) and it's right on right on right on. We get bombarded by negative media constantly throughout the day on TV, radio, and social media. Well, it's high time to weed out all of this garbage friends; of course we have to stay informed to some degree...

How true in so many ways. Having peace in our souls, our hearts, and in our minds sets us up for an awesome day and our future as a whole.  This episode is totally (and I mean totally) spontaneous and straight from my heart to yours. As Brad Hamilton would say (and iykyk) "Learn it, know it, live it!". Every single day.  Hope you likey - and subscribey lol) and know that I love all y&apo...

Let's not beat ourselves up over the days' events. If need be, fix the situation and move on. But don't internalize whatever occurred and let it ruin the rest of your day... and certainly not your night-night time. Not good! Hey, we all screw up (can't wait to see what I pull off tomorrow!) but make peace with yourself and continue to rock your world. Love all y'all! Suppo...

Well, the government and their media accomplices look like they're going to reprise the COVID mandates and lockdowns. Slowly but surely it's creeping back into the media's narrative as fed to them by the bureaucrats and elitists that control them. Two words: Don't Comply. We know better thanks to the disaster that befell our businesses, our schools, and everything else the last...

We can do this is in so many ways in our daily lives. President Lyndon Johnson - an interesting chap indeed - had some key points on how he dealt with people. Not sure if he stuck to these guidelines 100% (or if he actually put them together in the first place) but they make a lot of sense. Common sense in fact. See what you think, and guess what?

Empowering others - helping others to become stronger and more successful - is critical to our everyday lives, both at home and at work. By helping others achieve it helps us achieve our goals as well, and creates a stronger relationship. We want to see others succeed; there's no room for animosity or jealousy when we're all pulling together in the same direction. Here are a few brief po...
