In this solo episode, I dive into the cost of character. It's important to understand that there's always a cost for your actions, and your actions are predicated on your character. It takes a certain character to become a dominant bodybuilder, drill Seargent, mother, father, or professional athlete. Will you be okay with the character that it takes to become the best version of yourself before jumping into a new career or relationship?

Environmental mistakes: 2-tips that will help you learn the most from mistakes (yours and others) Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Mistakes happen all the time. Because of social media, mass media, and podcasts, we have a set encyclopedia that can show us not just who continually makes mistakes but the character they have and the character that shows up in different environments. Key #1 that can help us have more success: The mistakes that others make are tools that can help us if we look at them from different perspectives (this takes a lot of emotional intelligence and self-awareness)...this goes for our mistakes as well.

Key #2: Start to pay attention to the different environments that you're in and at what time you are in those environments. How often are their mistakes being made by you and others based on the environments (time, people, places, etc.)....and take notes!

John Charles | The Resilient One: Bouncing back from adversity Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

On this episode I had the pleasure of chopping it up with my good friend John Charles, a former All-American, and Hall of Fame quarterback at Portland State University (PSU). John reached both the National Football

League (NFL) and Arena Football League (AFL).

In two seasons, John led PSU to two consecutive semi-final appearances. Charles threw three or more touchdowns in 17 of the 18 games he started. He earned National Player of the Week honors from USA Today and Sports Illustrated. He was the only player to be named Player of the Year twice in the Western Football Conference. Additionally, he was a Harlon Hill Trophy Finalist, earning both Kodak and Small College All-America honors.

John was selected as a free agent in the 1993 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. In 1996, while playing for the San Jose Sabercats, sustained a shoulder injury that forced him to retire.

He now enjoys using his knowledge and continued education working in the sports performance industry to help athletes sharpen their skills. Charles’ volunteer training centers around 3 components: mental toughness, teamwork, and preparation.

John also works in the food industry where he has created a barbecue sauce called, John John's BBQ Sauce that is being sold in 19 stores throughout the state of Oregon. John also works with youth at a Treatment Facility, as well as, Substitute Teaching.
