The Gyst Life

In this episode, David and Vern discuss their challenges and successes of navigating through the natural world of order and chaos. Chaos is layered in our life + our culture and we struggle to try and make sense of it all. So what’s missing? The idea of perfection lives in all areas of our life. Yet the benchmark of perfection is inauthentic. We dive deep and pull it apart. _________   Vern McCart...

Ask yourself: What do I really want in life? Who do I really want to be? What would it take to create a 100% FUCK YA life? Am I on that path? These are tough questions, yes..! However, if we are not asking these questions, then likely we are not on track to living life as the best versions of ourselves.   This episode dives deep into the uncomfortable waters of discipline, responsibility and willp...

Let me ask you something…would you be ok if you died today? Would you feel like you lived a life worth living? That you were fulfilled with everything you did? Are you experiencing a little discomfort when you ask yourself that question?   What if you lived your life from a new context? Where 100% Fuck Ya was the place you stood from. Where you actually stepped into being the maverick of your own...

Wanna kill creativity? Allow your default operating system to run the show for you.  Keep creating, causing and adding all that extra meaning to everything and whatever you do, DO NOT work on the bigger picture. Do not get clear what your vision of the future is or what you have to offer and whatever you do, make sure you allow yourself to conform to your own self impressed limitations.   That woo...

Do you know what it takes for YOU to slow it down? Are you present and listening for when it’s really needed?  It’s selfless and requires you to be full of yourself. Full of love for yourself because that’s what it really takes to be able to have the conversations you need to have with your higher self, your sherpa of life.   The week was scattered, at times a feeling of just getting to the point...

Are you aware? Is it time to progress forward or are you still running the maze?   Oh and the AHA moments. Are you taking time to think about it? Is it an automatic way of being yet for you? It’s not for us yet and this episode is all about acknowledging the successes and the growth each of us experiences and what’s next.   The path is set and every day we’re noticing what it takes to continue the...

What would it be like if you actually took more time to notice and observe the situations that show up vs immediately react and “try” to do something about it. In this episode, we talk about taking more time to sit back, get vulnerable and watch what happens. That might be the only way you’ll get yourself through to achieving deep fulfillment and purpose in your life. Just sayin'...   Mentions: Sh...

What’s your UFC title level of Clarity?  Does it pull for you? Who do you know yourself to be, bigger than who you are right now? If you don’t know, your work is to find it. It’s hard work, it requires bravery, belief in yourself and the ability to challenge the notions in your mind, set them aside and do the work needed.   The beauty is once you have it, it can’t be unlearned and it will drive yo...

Notice the Conscious Mind and Get Uncomfortable Are you present to your operating system? Like every operating system you can upgrade to improve how it works, add new functionality and delete the programs that are outdated and no longer serving you. The trick is to notice the conscious mind, what it does when you’re trying on something new and get uncomfortable. Simple right?   ___________________...

We are all looking for something. And whether it’s inside of acknowledgment, finding your passion or getting results, the rebel and the saint inside all of us are competing for how it’s gonna go. Fear not! The rules are meant to be broken!  

What are you standing for? What are you avoiding? You get to choose. We all see the world differently and we all are given the ability to go with the flow or not accept what's in place just because everyone else follows "the rules" without question. A play by play of how last week went for us and the common theme included a pinch of commitment, a smidge of responsibility and a whole lot of bravery...
