The Crazy Ones Podcast

You were meant to shine, but too often we live a muted version of who we’re meant to be just to fit in and feel like we belong. But still there’s that higher version of us that is calling for more and it won’t be denied. There is a way to clear a path for that higher version of self to shine.

Everything is energy, and we are energetic beings. Just like Tesla and Edison harnessed energy to improve our world, so too can we harness our energies towards our goals and dreams

Energy is is everywhere, including the stories we tell. Successful people have learned how to direct their energy in a way that’s conducive to success.

Of all the gazillion things in the world, not everything is going to make you happy. But if you are vague with what you desire, it makes it harder to manifest what you desire. Gaining clarity on what you want speeds up the process to getting what you want out of life.

Believe it or not, happiness has very little to do with our external world and the experiences we have. Happiness starts with the stories we tell. If you are in pursuit of a dream you think will make you happy, but you find yourself stalled or sabotaging your efforts, look more closely at the stories you’re telling yourself.

Happiness has little to do with the circumstances going on around you. You can expand your happiness purposefully with a simple question. Give it a try and see how quickly your life changes.

If we let it, reflecting on the past can be a healthy way to help us clarify or define or redefine what we want for our future. For many, 2021 was a time of great loss.

When we experience setbacks in life, we should be allowed to grieve...

Feeling a bit alone in your dreams but feeling drawn to them despite all the naysayers in your life who want to keep you down? If so, then you are a Crazy One, and this podcast is for you.

“Life Happens...” Challenges pop up all the time to distract you from your dream. Most dreams fall to the wayside at the first sign of a challenge... all that untapped potential for good gone into some sort of black hole never to be seen or heard of again. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The dreams that really matter are worth keeping alive even in the midst of trials and tribulations.

If you are a perfectionist, then take it from a recovering perfectionist... Get over it! 😊. Perfection in the midst of any change is an illusion. Change is one of the only things constant in life, and if you have not been keeping up with our changing times, then change will be messy at first. Be okay with that and you’ll find a much more pleasant, or maybe less chaotic, transition.

So long overdue, but important enough to share, I pass on what I got out of my first Tony Robbins event to experience a breakthrough. It wasn’t like the clouds parting and sun rays bursting through, but it was life changing for me at my core, lessons I will learn from in how I operate and function in life, and how others may be operating in life.

Distractions are all around us, vying for your attention, sometimes at the expense of your dreams. But if your dreams are important enough to you, the you must take responsibility for stoking the flames of your dreams to keep them alive.

I believe it was in each of us is greatness that is wanting to be expressed. There’s a higher version of us ourselves that is wanting to come out. It’s all a decision that we have to make

No matter where you find yourself in life, whether successful and on the right track, or stuck and frustrated, you got there by engaging in certain rituals and habits in beliefs and behaviors, both of which are within your ability to change.

Too many people give up on their dreams because of past experiences. But what if the only barriers to your success were self-imposed?

If you have a big enough dream, you will face obstacles and scrutiny from others who just can’t see the vision you have. To break through status quo, you’ll need to become obsessive about your dreams.

When you decide to pursue your dreams, there will be many things that pop up to sway you and distract you, there may even be dream killers seeking to squash your dreams when you are so close to realizing them. Hold true to them even if people think you are crazy

Lessons learned from my new favorite movie, The Greatest Showman... PT Barnum didn’t grow up in wealth, nor did he grow up in a super positive home. In fact, growing up, all he really had was his dreams. He never gave up on his dreams, and everything he did was to honor those dreams and keep them alive.

Things we sometimes take for granted today, like flying in an airplane or launching rockets into space, were once a dream in someone’s mind. Because the Wright Brothers never gave up on their dreams, they changed the course of our world. What if you had a dream that could change the course of our nation? What steps are you taking towards those goals?

In pursuit of your dreams and goals, life can throw you curve balls at the most inopportune times. At some point you will have to let go of old ways of being, old habits of thinking and acting, and form new habits that are in line with the life you say you really desire.

I just want to look back on this year and make sure I have no regrets. I want to be able to honestly say I played full out and gave it my all.
