Table Rush Talk Show

What happened today?  I pull a story out of the stack.   …So I’m walking around the neighborhood and someone is throwing out some perfectly good furniture…  (One man’s trash is another man's treasure).  And I like a little furniture arbitrage moment…   And then the mental and physical shenanigans start from there!   Episode notes: I write down episode ideas and days later I am not as excited about...

After I left the super disciplined lifestyle of my successful sales career to be a stay at home’ish dad for my boys…  I became disciplined in my undisciplinedness.   Now, as I have clarity for my summit and it is time to reach out to speakers, I get to bring my business disciplines back on line. Episode notes: When I was in mortgages and sales…  I was very good and very disciplined at creating sys...

Barbara Karnes has been in the hospice industry since the 1980's.  She knows about death and the art of dying.  As a matter of fact she can talk about dying all day...   Her booklets on dying and grief have over 35,000,000 in print in 12 languages.  ...But really, all we talked about was life, living, and service!  (And of course a little death and dying, cause that's what she does and it's beauti...

I respond to Lisa’s response to my episode.  It’s all got me thinking some wild thoughts, which I go ahead and record.  I wasn’t sure if I was gonna publish them…  But what the heck. Episode notes:   I respond to Lisa’s response.  She is a memory Specialist…  We have been having an interesting conversation… Lisa had asked me, “If I had one piece of advice to pass down to the universe at large, wha...

A friend records  her respond to my “The definition of Illusions” episode.  So I went ahead and turned it into an episode (with her permission).  Here she is thoughts and all! Episode notes: The thoughts actions chicken egg conundrum.  …It’s the thoughts that produce the actions.  Thoughts are energy.  Thoughts, words, actions when those are in alignment my body can be at peace.   “The Gift”, Edit...

I come across the word “Illusion” in what I’m reading this morning which inspires me to look up the definition “according to Webster” and leads to all sorts of fun thoughts :). Episode notes: ACIM "The Forgiveness of Illusions"…  Learn to accept the comfort of our teaching we are teaching all the time.   The illusion that we are doing good or bad is what comes to my mind there.   The illusion of c...

On the cusp of a quitting moment coach Vince tells me some “Performance related tech” to keep me in the game.  It was so good and so poignant and it had me laughing my ass off… Episode notes:   I have new life and focus for the summit.  What that means is I want to keep my episodes to 8 minutes.  To save time on the recording side as well as on the editing side. The purpose of this episode to tell...

The continuation of some thoughts I had written down: 1. “I want to go to bed being proud of what I ate.”  2. “How do I welcome and celebrate god into my life?”  3. “May I ask you a challenging question?” Episode notes: “I want to be going to bed proud of something I ate.”  Waylon my 18 year old son is walking out the door to go to work…  As a parent we get to make our kids food, sometimes that is...

I read some juicy spiritual content which sparks some cool thoughts outside of the actual reading… Episode notes:  The purpose of this episode.  A cool ACIM reading and I was just writing down thoughts as they came to me, whatever those thoughts happened to be.  A Course In Miracles, Text Book, Chapter 15, Sec 11 “Christmas as the end of sacrifice”, The name itself lit me up with joy.  The cynical...

Domenica Berman and I went through two rounds of yoga teacher training in 2017.  And when you make it though something like that you are bonded for life.  Dom, currently 27, is not only the kindest, warmest, person you will meet, but so his her family.  I had to interview Dom because she is an authentically good person, and she inspires hope.  The kind of hope that is a well cooked meal, a warm pl...

When I went to edit up this part of an episode I was so struck by my reaction to the Krystal Kelly interview I did; I had to it (my reaction) into its own episode!  And why not take some messy action and try some different things? Play with additional intro’s outro’s and stuff?  Got to have fun. Episode notes:  I just had an Amazing interview with Krystal Kelly.  A 2CCX co-hort.   Krystal is steal...

After much turmoil I have the summit breakthrough and will soldier on.  Follow the instructions.  You can do this.  The choice is mine I will be loved no matter what.  This episode is  about the sensitive side of that process :). Episode notes: The summit creation process and how it relates to: If you follow the instructions and take the next steps you can do just about anything.   It’s not that I...

The summit is a set of instructions…  And it turns out I’m pretty good at following instructions.  Heck I changed the engine in my truck when I was a dumb ass kid at a time when I couldn’t even change the oil.  Somebody simply handed me a set of instructions.   Episode notes:  How to progress forward with the summit.  Opportunity to for me to practice staying in the moment, taking next steps, and...

 Looking ahead at the instructions helps give me the push in need to keep moving forward with the 2CCX and the summit.  And what if I were to call it the Positive Coping Skills Summit?  There are so many cool modalities out there for when your brain can go sideways. Episode notes:   What helped me to continue forward with the 2CCX and the summit was looking ahead at some of the instructions.  I wa...

I talk about three main points:  1) I’m slowly learning to be a better friend.  2) Take the good commentary with the bad commentary.  3) This situation feels like quitting a bad habit.  (With other diversions in between of course) Episode notes:   The three points that I’m going to talk about.  I am slowly learning how to be a better friend.  With the gauge being can I remember my friends kids nam...

A little more riffing on my hair, cause why not?  The meat of the episode is about my desire to quit the high end mastermind I’m in and what will take its place?  And my real fear, will I have any more content for my podcast if I do quit? Show notes:  In my drug addled youth I love the Zep.  I was a Zeppelin fan.   I remember when the we got a copy of the bootlegged “Kill Em All” album, 1983 or 84...

Ann Fangio helps divorced Christians heal, love themselves, and find new love (all without going to hell).  Ann is smart, kind, thoughtful, educated, experienced and a ton of fun to talk too.  She will give you insights into relationships, boundaries, limiting beliefs, and of course spirituality.  I’m not a christian, but I’m curious and I like to ask questions, so we get after it.  I literally ha...

Turns out I’ve quit a bunch of things in my life.  I go through a list…   It may inspire you and it may not.  As I record this episode I’m burnt on the coaching group I’m in and want to bail.  As I'm in a reflective mode I realize how often it's been a springboard to better things.   Show Notes:   Before I decided “I think I’m done here.”  I was gonna do the summit on quitting…  I.e. the “It’s ok...

I’m definitely on a down stroke on the 2CCX and the summit, and ready to throw in the towel.  But you know how these things go… It can all change tomorrow. Show notes:   Am I willing to be honest with you?  OMG my hairs unruly.  You can tell which rock group people liked by who they say my hair looks like.  Zep or the Who? I think I’m done with the 2CCX. And this is just today, I could wake up and...

I had just done my morning mediation and was inspired to grab the microphone and riff while I was making my morning cup of coffee.  First inspiration for the summit then  the required next steps take me to the brink.  I describe some of my mental hopscotchery and how a little god in the pause helped me step back from the cliff… Episode notes: The Divorced Dads In Crisis Mode Summit…  This summit i...

I’m walking by a skatepark and a playground when an interaction between a father and his son susses out some old memories and regrets in me…  and it’s interesting how I need to attach circumstances to emotions. Notes: After many episodes of trying to have a cohesive message…  I record one on the fly.  Here’s my thought or idea, and it could be insane, i’m definitely not 100% on it, and my opinion...

Today I address part #2) The stark awareness of the time it’s going to take to produce a summit.  It’s gonna take 16 hours a day for 90 days.  And I’m not gonna do it.  I’m gonna have to find a who or two to help.  Or perhaps just not do it at all... Notes: Content, speakers, well designed funnel, the production the copyright, etc etc…  If one person is going to tackle it it’s going to take 16 hou...

A little rant on how the metrics of my podcast don’t matter right now and when I think they do it messes with my ego.  And a big “Thank You!” to those who are listening!  Part 2 is tomorrow. Notes: Would you know if was late and I didn’t tell you when I was recording?  A couple things, today I address 1) People freak out when I tell them that I don’t care about the metrics of the podcast.  Tomorro...

I’ve know Janice on the periphery for 13 years and when I saw she had a book coming out I had to interview her for the podcast.  The transformation she has embraced, the passion she brings…  She is so dedicated to community and has such a momentous energy…  I new it was going to be fun, profound, and perhaps irreverently entertaining.  The universe did not disappoint.  Notes: (Janice B Mulligan, a...

I’m talking about 3 things today 1) It’s time to be a marketer again.  I relate that to my old cold calling days. 2) The acceptance of where I am in the process of starting new ventures and creating new opportunities via the coaching mastermind group I’m in.  It's a long road ahead...  Is my why strong enough? 3) I have a busy full life and I don’t know how I’m going to get all this done.  I’ve go...
