"Two things we get everyday, that's a Chance and a Choice...let's put more value on the choices we make, because our choices are what determines our destination" - J.Prince Lot's to catch up. I re-cap my last few weeks: 75Hard, Current Book, Hiking Trips, The Holiday and my sons. Then finally I break down the concept of a chance and a choice and why it should be important for us to live like this....

"Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else." - Maya Angelou Welp, today I participated in my first official walk out for the kids w/regards to the vax mandates here in CA. I want to share that with you, so this will shift gears a bit but I think it was important that I share this part of my life with you all as well. This directly affects me s...

"The key is in not spending time, but in investing it." - Stephen R. Covey // "Lost time is never found again." - Benjamin Franklin It's all about time. This episode I share my time with my Mother after 3 years of not seeing her due to all the lock downs. I cover so much about life and how precious our time is with loved ones. We had 4 days to make it great and we did that.......I hope you enjoy t...

"One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again." - Abraham Maslow I use to run toward fear because it was easy for me. Then I realized fear was doing nothing for me and it was growth that I lacked. I wasn't growing in life and in the things that mattered that could ultimately change my outlook on life....

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." - Buddha They're cracking the whip and cornering all of us...at least if feels like it huh? Seems we can't even make our own decisions these days, the gov't seems to...

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller How dare you be unapologetically you. The nerve of you to have an opinion, a voice or thought that goes against mine. Yea...I know, it's happening all...

I had an incident happen last night that could've gone wrong in so many ways at a gas station. I want to share that with you and how me taking care of myself, my health, my fitness may have helped deter that situation. Fellas, please listen to this episode I feel like it's an important one for us especially as the times have changed and people have gotten much more desperate. I hope you enjoy this...

"The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating up on us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention: Be alone, that is when ideas are born." - Nikola Tesla There is so much noise going on right now right? On this episode I share some things I do to self-seclude myself and disco...

"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything" - Albert Einstein Our lives are difficult as it is right? Especially if you are raising kids. There is so much going on today that is adding more and more to our plates. When will our world get back to "normal"? Who knows...but I do know this. Being quiet about current events and how they are...

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength" - Marcus Aurelius 6 weeks of chaos...almost broke me. Car loss, head injury, family trauma, illness and so much more...yes, my mind tried to convince me I was a failure. That was so far from the truth but it nearly convinced me. I hope you enjoy this episode as I start to bounce back. Web: www.raymolina....

Fellas, I needed to drop this one for you. I was mid workout for #75HARD and got inspired to do this episode while in the process. A lot of us men go through self doubt, confidence problems after a divorce. Or even while we’re still married, we’re a shell of who we could be and are on the verge of losing everything. I know I struggled and there were things I needed to learn if I was gonna move fwd...

On this episode I share a few stories from some very random people while Uber/Lyft driving. Stories I think were inspiring and I learned a bit from. I also discuss how the the way we live our life is the lesson we teach. How we can subconsciously be teaching lessons that are of value or lessons that can perpetuate struggles we’ve gone through in our past. I share how living my life as if there are...

It’s hard when we get in a funk right? When we don’t get the answers fast enough, we don’t see the results fast enough or just can’t seem to get what we want when we want it. I know trust me, I do. There are days I want to stay in bed and not get it going. I find excuses to avoid life for that day. But life ends happening regardless. These are days I have to remind myself to continue to move fwd e...

Indian-American author and alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra once said... “The best way to get rid of the pain is to feel the pain. And when you feel the pain and go beyond it, you’ll see there’s a very intense love that is wanting to awaken itself.” Often times we think we're out of the woods when it comes to past traumas or failed relationships etc. but we never truly know if that is t...

Kobe Bryant responded to a reporter in 2009 after going up 2-0 against the Orlando Magic in the Finals...after being asked, "Still waiting on a smile from you; you're up 2-0....what's the story? Are you not happy or you just half happy?" he responded w/"What's there to be happy about? The jobs not finished...job finished? I don't think so." I think often in life we pat ourselves on the back before...

I'm back from Arizona and ready to pod! Yea, man...weddings are awesome right? I always thought I would be bitter after my divorce, but I'm not...I still enjoy weddings especially for people I love. This episode I share with you the "Key" my grandmother (Beatrice) shared with me before she passed. It's something I never forgot and I wanted to share it here with you. And...well here goes, I talk ab...

Often times we're going through so much of our own stuff we can't possibly see how we could be called to lead or help someone other than ourselves. But that is precisely the time to do it. Odd right? Yea, I know. But in the midst of our storms and struggles we have a story, lessons we are learning that we can pass along. And on the flip side, taking the focus off our issues and leading others thro...

I was recently asked for book recommendations from a friend of mine and after talking a bit, I felt like "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz would be the best fit. While working out today, I started thinking about this book and one of the Agreements. That Agreement was "Be Impeccable with your Word". I thought back to being an 8-9 year old kid when twice that I can remember someone let me dow...

This episode is simple. I heard a phrase on a podcast I listen to called: The Sean & Sax Show and boy did it resonate. "I am not afraid of new love, I am afraid of old pain". Boom! Yes...that is what this episode is about as I talk about my personal struggles with that. Outside of that, I send condolences to Shock G's family (RIP), talk about a run in w/a podcast listener, sharing investment a...
