The Determined People Podcast

I took today off to spend time with people who are important to me. In this short message, I give you a preview of what's to come.

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. We should practice gratitude every day, not just once per year. But one time per year is a good start! Happy Thanksgiving! 

Billy Bob Harris is the most connected individual I have ever known. His contact list defies the "six degrees of separation" and brings it down to one degree. He is a connector, a facilitator who quickly connects the dots. Billy Bob spreads encouragement as well, and he is the perfect guest for our Thanksgiving week show.   Be sure to listen all the way to the end. There is a special mes...

Today I am talking about boundaries. Have a listen.

Today I am discussing a superspreader event that is not pandemic related. Take a moment to listen.

I was never a very good student until I got to college. In today's episode, I discuss a couple of other things that might be more important than getting straight A's.

My podcast has listeners in over 120 countries worldwide. I am grateful for every one of you. Please tell me what topics you would like to hear more on from me. My email address is rewrittenone@gmail.com 

What are your gods? Money? Power? Position? Status? Those are idols, not the real God. 

The current state of politics in the United States sickens me. Listen to my message and I tell you why. 

Life is a competition. Make it a worthwhile competition.

What does pressure mean to you? There are times when pressure is a good thing, and there are times when pressure is a bad thing. Today I discuss both. 

How we set out minds will determine our outcomes. Mindset is everything.

Be sure to listen to Part Two of my interview with former Police Chief Art Acevedo. We discussed some tough subjects including Uvalde, Ferguson and Community Policing. Art willingly shares his thoughts on all these subjects and more. 

November 11th is Veterans Day in the United States. Our men and women who serve in the armed forces and who have served deserve to be honored every day.

Today I talk about narcissistic behavior. 

We love our work, right? I do. Yet my work does not identify who I am. I find fulfillment outside of my occupation. I want you to, too.

Do you want to stop the aging process? Here's how!

As a society, we have become rushed to the point of exhaustion. I encourage you, slow down, just a little.

The stars and planets do not need to align perfectly before you begin a new adventure. Just begin, then keep going, no matter what.

Art Acevedo was the Chief of Police in Austin, Houston and most recently, Miami. In our interview, you will see what a true community leader looks like. Acevedo led from the front. Police officers must have a warrior mentality along with a servant's heart. They face dangers most of us never will, and they serve the least among us with honor and dignity. 

Change requires a sort of rebirth of yourself. Listen to today's episode as we talk about it. 

Yes, you read that correctly. After almost 700 straight days of recording, I am taking a day away from the microphone. But you can't silence me for long! I will be back full force tomorrow. Thank you for listening, your comments, emails and your consistency.

Resilience and inner strength are built in the dark times of life. Keep going, no matter what...

Have you been rejected? It only hurts if you care about the person rejecting you. There is a purpose for your pain, though. Today we examine that purpose. 

Is the direction you are headed going to fulfill you?
