The Crazy Ones Podcast

In every seed there is great potential to become a truly great plant or tree. With the right ingredients, that plant or tree then has the potential to bless the world with their fruit (or their beauty, if it’s a flower plant). Within each of us are infinite possibilities for creating that are waiting to be expressed… They all start out as small seeds for new expressions of gifts we can contribute...

In each and every one of us there are at least two versions of you wanting to find success in life both of which are somewhat at odds against each other — the ego vs your higher self. We live in a world that is highly driven by ego that we’ve suppressed the voices of our higher selves, but it’s our egos that keep us stuck, unable to break past our success ceilings. But when we tune into our higher...

When stepping outside of our comfort zones, it’s natural for fear to be triggered. The problem comes when we resist our fears because we think we shouldn’t be fearful. Unfortunately, “what you resist persists.” We avoid or ignore our fears or suppress them, but they remain there sabotaging our efforts for change until we address them. Better to embrace them and give it a voice, because only then d...

“Rather than looking for problems in the opportunity, what if you looked for the opportunity in the problems?” - Kyle Cease In my journey of entrepreneurship, I’ve been using my fears as reasons for why I am stuck. But what if we turned it around and owned our fears and saw them moments of opportunity for growth and expansion?

Most of us habitually go through life on autopilot. In this episode, I describe my experiment of just living one day as mindful as I could be. What if we all made an effort to live more mindfully? How would that shift our perceptions of life and of ourselves?

Looking back on the hardships and lessons learned from the past history, I’m processing how our collective thinking plays into all the struggles we’re experiencing today, all the different ways we’ve been conditioned to react in fear and how we continue to perpetuate fear rather than stand in our power. What if all we’ve been struggling with through time was to bring us to shifting to a new way of...

What if each of us listened more to our hearts from the creative imagination of children, without the limitations of having to do everything perfectly, like color inside the line or having everything “just so” before you were willing to share it? What if life was more like a playground where anything and everything goes? How much more of your dreams and passions do you think you would get done if...

We live in a messy world with messed up people, and when we can realize that, own that, and love and accept it all, then we truly can live a full life. Here’s one way I did just that.

Most people, myself included, have been conditioned to believe success looks a certain way. We’ve been conditioned to believe we have to be a certain way, act a certain way, have certain things, do certain things to be successful. The problem is the conditioning we received is outdated. Our world is evolving exponentially and it is hard to keep up with all the changes and all the moving parts on o...

I took a 3-4 month break from podcasting and went on a crazy journey into the world of internet marketing, and discovered instead a whole “new” world in myself. Here’s my comeback episode. It seemed fitting to start with a fresh new “season” After taking a break from podcasting, I believe I came back with clearer image as to who I’m called to be. I share a few things I’ve learned on my break, stuf...

Unfortunately, there’s no teleportation device to take you to your dreams instantaneously. But there are ways to get to your dreams faster. Even the tortoise won against the hare with small consistent steps. Building your dream is not a sprint, it’s a marathon. But it does start with a step.

Successful people have figured out that success loves speed, and the faster you take action, the more opportunities seem to come your way to reward you… Ideally, you want to take fast intuitive action without having the details of how you’re going to get there. Just trust that you will get there and see what happens…

Most people don’t get their dreams off the ground because they never generated enough momentum to keep the fire going. In order to move forward in your dreams, you need to start taking action, from a crawl, to a wobble, to a walk, to a run, and eventually you’ve built enough momentum to sprint your way to success. It all starts with those first baby steps.

Those moments of serendipity, where things work out because you followed an inkling in your heart, you were guided by intuition, like breadcrumbs to what you want. Look for those moments and follow where they lead with quicker action and you will get to your dream so much faster.

Just like your mobile device needs time to power up and recharge, so you need downtime and stillness to recharge. Otherwise, all your efforts will eventually become ineffective at best, or non-existent at worse.

When you are building a dream or business, there’s a bit of a learning curve initially. Building something like an online business has so many nuances and moving parts that it can feel overwhelming at times and you could get stuck in analysis paralysis. The best way to move past that is to allow more grace to be imperfect, to make mistakes along the way as you are learning new things and just to t...

What if the dream and calling on your life was meant to empower others? What if they’re waiting for a solution only you can provide? Would knowing that stir you up to move forward on your vision? At some point we need to graduate from having our own issues to being part of the solution to the problem.

From your big “Why” to the smallest “why” build your dream intentionally, not passively and haphazardly. Your results will come much faster when you are clear on why you are choosing each step

Most of us are resistant to change. Unfortunately, change is happening all around us all the time. If we don’t keep up with that change we will find ourselves stuck in a very uncomfortable place. But we humans are highly adaptable, and if there’s a change we want to embrace, it’s most effective when we can do it incrementally.

Many people never see their dreams fully realized because they neglect to create new habits to support their dreams. A big part of them is uncomfortable with change. If you have a dream you want to bring about, be willing to embrace the change required to support that dream.

Building a Dream, following your heart and passions can feel very lonely at times. That’s probably what holds many people back from their dreams. Without the right support, they wonder if it’s worth the struggle. We were never meant to live our journeys alone. The truth is, there will always be struggles, but if you surround yourself with the right kind of support, the right kind of support can he...

It may not seem like much that we have the ability of choice, but the choices we make day to day, moment by moment, determine our experiences in life, for better or worse. The power is yours.

Words have power. Questions have power. The words we speak and the types of questions we ask can make a difference in the quality of life we live and our capacity to reach our dreams

When the world feels like it’s spinning out of control, it’s important to find stillness in the midst of it all so you don’t get caught up in it all. It’s in the stillness that you find the greatest clarity and confidence to navigate this life much more effectively.

The Universe gives us lots of opportunities to bring us closer to the life we really want, but if we’re not tuned in to recognize it, let alone receive it, then the universe will stop giving us those opportunities because it thinks we no longer want that dream. We have to be openly receptive to those opportunities before the moment passes. The more you receive from the universe, the more it gives...
