Book Writing #1 Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

Connor & I picked back up on our writing project. We are going to record our writing development sessions together; essentially the content we are discussing shaping for a leadership book. We figured we would also publish these as a podcast for a few reasons.
1. Help us stay honest and on task ,
2. Shape our organization & collect our content,
3. Open it up for people to respond, critique, inject, and give general feedback,
4. Ultimately stay authentic to our purpose & intent behind the project in the first place: share thoughts with other in hopes to add value and/ or perspective.
This first recorded session is generally about the why and the what behind the theme of the book.
In the end, not all the material will get published via podcast and it will all go through a pretty rigorous editing process.

Mentorship Sep 09, 2023

Show notes

Sharing a few short thoughts about what mentorship is and isn't. Not sure I'm really digging deep enough into it, but wanted to hear out loud the looping that was going on in my head while splitting some wood.

4th Annual Fundraiser Thoughts Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

Some thoughts and reflections on this year's annual Event & Fundraiser. Looking to have a few guests to help polish out the perspectives and ideas to fully memorialize the event.

Vulnerability, Courage, Tiny Beacons of Light, Championing Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

Recognizing all the good that's going on, however small or seemingly insignificant, is pretty much my first step when trying to settle the pressure in my head.
Ultimately, this is just a sharing to get to the point that you just keep holding until a shiny beacon of light arrives. And if you live a few moments that don't require having to hold on, look to shine a little light onto someone's dark corner.

Optimal Conditions vs the Hard Way Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

Largely some ramble as I sort through talking about what Optimal Conditions Only is and how it is going to lead into much of the Hard Way Project methodology.
I've talked before about a Smarter Hard. Not the obstinate or ignorant 'Tommy Tuff Nutz' sort of hard. On the other end of the spectrum are those that become psychologically stressed (and even put into duress) when conditions are sub-optimal. They perform only under Optimal Conditions Only (OCO).

Exploring "Winning" w/ Connor Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

I hadn't seen Connor but only once since returning from the Talisker and wanted to reconnect; we always share cool conversations together when 1:1. He gets me thinking in a different way sometimes when he asks his questions.
So, after some Mexican food and a few beers we decided to take our 'Winning" conversation to the recording table.
It's nice to have someone to go back and forth with to help shape and evolve thoughts and how we articulate.

The Pain Cave Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

You don't look to go into the Pain Cave. And you don't thrive in the Pain Cave. If you think you do then you have never been in it, you've only waited in line or stood in the antechamber.
Too many people pound their chests and use the Pain Cave chatter to make themselves and others think better of themselves; to get special attention and applause.
if you've ever actually been in the Pain Cave, you know so much different about it.

What is Winning Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

Sharing thoughts on how I define 'Winning' and why.
Defining our terms so not to arbitrarily or accidentally dilute them so that they can inform our behavior, ultimately to support our intent towards reaching goals; desired results.
This is the start at scratching out words for manuscript.

Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge 2022 Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

Starting up Season 5 after a limited contribution last year.
It's been almost 3 weeks now since finishing up our row across the Atlantic Ocean. What an incredible experience and a pretty cool accomplishment.
Sharing a bit of a long (not long enough to be the full) recall of much of the race.

Being Busy, Essentialism, Know It Alls, & Wholesome TV Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Just a bunch of stuff that I've had on my mind for the last 3 weeks.
