It has been proven through multiple studies that marijuana is a substance that helps our society more than it hurts. But is still banned and illegal. We discuss that in this episode. We can kick back at the bar and drink all that we want with out repercussion but if you smoke or possess marijuana in most states, you can end up in jail. Why do we still criminalize a drug that has been proven to hel...

Social media marketing is by far one of the most inexpensive forms of marketing with the largest return when done right. In this episode I discuss the things that seem to work well for me. Is there a better way? Maybe but this is what has worked for me now, in the past and hopefully in the future. Enjoy!

Children are challenging from time to time. When you have your first child you don't exactly know whats wrong or right. You are just left with the advice of others to help guide you along the way. Children teach us a lot about patience and about life in general they learn from us just as much as we learn from them. Here is my quick experience on how my children have taught me.

The 6 inches worth of space between your ears is what sometimes serves as our biggest enemy. It will discourage us to do things that can be helpful to us just out of fear. We control how we make ourselves feel, we control how we allow others to make us feel. Change your mindset and it will change your life.

Just like the title says, this is a comic view point to the vasectomy that I recently had. Not your typical podcast but hey, every now and then we need to laugh.

Most of the time we carry on with our normal lives as if nothing else in the world matters. We tend to forget about the basic things in our life that needs attention. The maintenance that our lives require, most importantly the health, family and career. We silently let things mound up until we have a problem that seems bigger than life with no clarity to fixing it. When we should on a day to day...

We know that a picture says a 1000 words. My question is, why do we see so many listings with such a poor choice of words? Crummy cell phone pictures, bad lighting, no resolution and even fingers in the frame. We is it that some people do not take pride in the very same thing that allows them to pay there bills? Do we not have respect for our industry as professionals enough to spend a little bit...

Have you ever flipped on a light switch and the power didn't come on? Maybe you turned on a faucet for nothing to come out? Some of us have, and thats not to brag. Its simply to say that the every day things that we take for granted are things that are not available to others. Not every one grew up with running water, electricity and food. The difference is the choice people made to either ma...

We find ourselves in a world that is constantly changing focus on what the importance of issues are on a day to day basis. Often we re focus on another problem before solving the first issue we had, creating a compound effect. How many items can we put on the back burner before we have an all out blaze? How many times can we switch focus before we lose focus all together? In this episode we dive d...

I am on my way to help teach yet another MMBC (Military Mortgage Boot Camp Class) So I leave you the listener some knowledge about the VA home loan and its advantages. Our Veterans paid their down payment for a home when they signed that government contract and became troops. We owe it to them to educate ourselves in a way that helps these Veterans achieve the goal of home ownership.

September 11th 2001. A day that almost everyone can remember. The day that American came under attack. One of the most devastating attacks on American soil since Pearl Harbor. Where were you? Do you still remember this day 17 years later? Have we gotten away from our promises to be Americans and support America? Have we replaced the love that we once had for one another with hate and separation? H...

You see them every where its about as common as bacteria on a public toilet seat. The "social media coaches" The people that want to charge you to teach you how to do something that they arn't even successful at. They want to charge hundreds of dollars per month or come into your office to teach you and your team something they haven't even mastered. Why do we fall for it? Do w...

Are you allowing people around you to influence your attitude by letting them bring negative thoughts and behaviors to your life? Are you stunting your own goals by doing so? How many time have we kept that one friend, that one person around who has brought nothing but trouble to our table? How much have we lost due to not being able to sever ties sooner? How many opportunities did we miss by allo...

Have you ever questioned what it is your are doing or what you are trying to accomplish? Maybe you have experienced some success but have found failure along the way and question whether you should carry on. Be careful what you decide to do, you never know who is watching and who is learning from you. Its easy to let yourself down but letting others down is a little more dramatic.

We've all done it at some point in our lives, felt sorry for our current situation or found a way to blame others for why we weren't doing as well as we wanted to do or expected to do. In this episode we nip those excuses in the bud and talk about how you control where it is you want to be. How sometimes you have to double down on your normal activities and make things happen. We also tr...

Most people only consider family as those who were born in the same family. Often times we overlook those who have been there for us for the bulk of our lives and have provided us the same value as family. In this episode I dive into discussing how people who may not be blood related can still be considered family. How there are people in this world who have went the extra mile for us that sometim...

How can you measure the results of your actions? Well the answer to that is pretty simple, do the same action over and over in a consistent manner so you can figure out what works and what doesn't. The biggest mistake that a lot of people make is they will try something once and it fails so they dont try it over and over again to test the result. Some times things take a while to catch on. So...

We often observe a book by its cover. Social media has allowed us to do so. We see the things on the surface but forget to observe the things that are really impacting peoples lives. We rely on social media so much to make a genuine connection to the people we care about in the world. When is the last time you had a real conversation with someone? When is the last time you weren't jaded by th...

When is the perfect time to do something? You tell me? Is it when the boss tells you it is? Maybe its when opportunity is just right? Look I know timing for certain things can be wrong. But for the most part most of the people put off taking a jump for success simply becuase they didnt get that "sign." But how much do you miss out on when you do things like that? How much opportunity did...

I get to interview Brad Stinson MMBC instructor and Marine, in this episode we talk about his hurdles he has had to overcome and execute in order to get where he is today. Even though we work for competing companies we still share the same goal and passion and that really is serving the veteran.

Is it that we don't have time or is it that what ever is being asked of us Is not a priority? In this episode we dive into that question and discuss which is more likely. A lot of times you get people who will say they dont have time to do XYZ but later we find that they indeed did have time, they just didnt want to make it a priority to do so. We find this a lot with self employed people who...

Football season is upon us. Two seasons ago we had some very contriversial things that took place during the football year. One of those things being NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem. In this episode we dive deep into this issue as I explain my stance on it and what I feel the meaning of standing for the National Anthem is. The sacrifices that have been made to give us the freedom to d...

We've all done it, we've all looked at someone and passed judgement the second we seen them. But how many opportunites have we missed to meet truly great people because of that? How many times have we passed judgement only to find out later that we were way off base on what we thought was true? As a person who has felt what it is like to be judged without chance to prove myself, I dive i...

Chris also covers how he has learned to put other peoples needs before his own by adapting a principle taught to him during his service. This guy is one of a kind. A person who truley looks after the well being of...
