The Modern Man Podcast

"Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart." Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart What are the things you tell yourself? Are they positive or negative? A lot of people have spoken highly about affirmations, but simply saying it isn't enough. You also need to feel it. You need to embrace and believe it. Even if no one else does. More importantly, you nee...

"When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need." Ayurvedic Proverb I'll start with this... Eating healthy is hard! I'm not here to convince you that it isn't. I fight the same urges, the same cravings, and the same temptations that you do. Trust me, we all go through it. If we can agree on that, we also can agree that the benefits and advantages provided b...

"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." OPRAH WINFREY I'm sure you've heard the saying before... "Do what you love and the money will come." Unfortunately, a lot of times that's a whole bunch of bologna. The real saying should go like this... "Applying what you love to a system or structure of income will provide you with a life worth living." The key here...

"Marketing is really just about sharing your passion." Michael Hyatt, Virtual Business Mentor You hear two terms thrown around a lot in business... Sales & Marketing. Which one is more important? There are countless debates that pit the two against each other and jump from one point to the other. This is not an episode about all that debate. This is an episode simply about marketing. Marketing is...

It's time for another raindrop! This week I want to talk about the importance of ending your day with a plan. I know we hear all the time about the importance of a morning routine. But what about your evening routine? I would argue that the end of your day is slightly more important than the start of it. The reason is that your evening is what sets up your morning! For me, I need my clothes picked...

"Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life." J.D. Stroube Someone once told me that the value of my questions will directly influence the value of the answers I receive. With that in mind, I always do my best to be conscious of the thoughts I allow to manifest in my head. Many of us go through life never questioning...

"When you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you." Paulo Coelho There is a voice deep within yourself that is dying to scream from the mountain tops and be heard. It is a voice that is unique to you and one that the world would be blessed to hear. Unfortunately, many of those voices will never be heard. Not everyone feels compelled to tap their toes or move their hips when they hear a catchy...

"Use your blood to paint. Keep painting until you faint. Keep painting until you die." Yoko Ono How bad do you want to see your goals and aspirations come into fruition? I've heard a number of people say that we often overestimate what we can accomplish in a year but underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade. Small habits repeated over time will pay off in a huge way. The question is, are y...

"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision." Helen Keller When was the last time you planned where you wanted to go in life? I mean really plan it. What age do you want to retire? What car do you want to drive in ten years? How about the job you want to work for the rest of your life? If we don't paint a picture of the life we want to live, someone else is sure to do it f...

"You can't hit a homerun every time. Sometimes you just need to get on base" Unknown Do you remember the first steps you took as a baby? What about the average of 38 times a day you'd fall during the first four years of your life? I'm guessing you don't. The thought of not being able to walk is probably as much of a fantasy as unicorns to you. (No disrespect to any handicap readers/listeners of co...

"Life is like a river. You just have to go with the flow and not let the pesky rocks in the water get in your way." Meg Bowling Sometimes it's not so much about where you're going in life. It's about what you plan on taking with you. If you're a reader, watcher or listener of the podcast, chances are you're a growth-minded person. You have goals and ambitions and probably a number of plans you exp...

"Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny." Steve Maraboli A lot of my content lately has focused on the importance of relationships. Now, when I say relationships, I'm not just talking about your spouse or significant other. I'm talking about your friends, co-workers, family members, business partners, children, and pa...

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." Friedrich Nietzsche I've been waiting a long time to use that quote in a post. It's one of my all-time favorites. (Thanks dad for introducing me to it!) There's something interesting about energy. As hard as it is to explain and articulate, something tells me you know exactly what I mean. It's that f...

"Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people." John D. Rockefeller You never know the impact someone will have on you until that impact has already been felt. The influence of multiple mentors and coaches in our lives can pave the way to a foundation of leadership. The important thing is to take those teachings and apply them when necessary. For today's...

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings     And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings     And never breathe a word about your loss" Rudyard Kipling Ahhh Yes… The story so many of you have asked me about. Some of you may have noticed my absence on Instagram the past couple of weeks. To answer your question, that was not by choice. My account was...

Just Keep Swimming Dory How can you reach your full potential? What is holding you back from reaching the level of success you've always wanted?

Sometimes the trick to reaching that next level is implementing the systems and techniques from the start. Often times these s...

"Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." J.K. Rowling When you're at the end of your rope. When things are as dark as they've ever been. Some would say that's rock bottom. If we're talking glass half full here… There's nowhere to go but UP! Reggie Rocc says it all the time… "Motivation starts HERE!" Reginald Jones (aka Reggie Rocc) is a Rapper, Minister, Actor, and Ent...

"The truth is, we all face hardships of some kind, and you never know the struggles a person is going through. Behind every smile, there's a story of a personal struggle." Adrienne C. Moore Every now and again it's nice to sit in the hot seat and be the one getting interviewed for a change. I had the opportunity to sit down with Brigitte Bartley of The Brigitte Bartley Show and share some of my st...

There's nothing as exciting as a comeback – seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance. RACHEL GRIFFITHS We all make mistakes. I may be in the process of making one now. However, is the focus on mistakes or on progress? Sometimes we find ourselves in a season of "Opps." Everything we try and attempt seems to just fall short. These are the times it becomes hard...

"To live, to TRULY live, we must be willing to RISK. To be nothing in order to find everything. To leap before we look."  Mandy Hale Sometimes when you take a leap of faith in life, you land exactly where you've always wanted to be. The hard part is actually making that jump. Brenda Luginbill , Founder & CEO of The NESS Fest is not afraid to jump. After listening to her for 5 minutes it's easy to...

"We either live with intention or exist by default." Kristin Armstrong Ask yourself this question… Are you living with intent? Is your current situation in life by design or is it by default? Be careful when trying to decide between the difference here. Often times we fall into a routine that is laid out before us and call it intent. I intended to go to school, get good grades, get my degree and g...

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

"Never Let Schooling Interfere With Your Education" – MARK TWAIN A lot of us spend a major part of our lives in school.
