Fast Friday- Anonymous Do Gooder May 25, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode came to me with the caveat, "If you use this, you can't use my name." This is a simple story of a do-gooder who wants no credit but does want to inspire others to do the same. Listen and see what you think. It's easy to help our fellow humans. Why don't YOU try it?

Interview with Deb Cheslow May 23, 2018

Show notes

"Where would you be if every time you said 'I Should…,' you actually DID?"

That's the question, Deb Cheslow asks everyone and then inspires them to do just that!

Deb Cheslow is someone who is passionate about life and squeezing every drop out of it AND she wants to make sure that others do as well! Her mission is to continually develop mind, body and spirit, living a life of prosperity and joy, so that she may change lives for the better and empower others through teaching, coaching and training, to seek out their own purpose, live their lives to the fullest and realize their dreams.

Listen to Deb talk about "Brain Science" in a way that all of us can understand and apply to every area of our lives. Her methods are "Unrealogical" and share ways to keep logic at bay and create a life that you probably have only ever dreamt of.

Take a list and then ask yourself the question again... "Where would you be if every time you said 'I Should…,' you actually DID?"

Fast Friday- President Austin from Alabama May 18, 2018

Show notes

A four year old in Alabama is already making his mark on the world. "President Austin" says that highlight of his life is feeding the homeless. AND his catch phrase is one we should all hear; "Don't forget to show love." I believe one day he WILL be President Austin.

Interview with Ricky Sailor of Unsigned Preps May 02, 2018

Show notes

Ricky Sailor is a very special guy. He founded and has been running an organization called Unsigned Preps for some time now.

The organization is built on positioning exposure, education, community service and consulting as the keys to effectively producing well-rounded student-athletes that flourish on college campuses.

Unsigned Preps has a 100% high school graduation rate and currently, they have 50, soon to be 101, kids that have graduated from college. Additionally, they have a handful in the NFL.

The NFL isn't the goal, however. Graduating from college and becoming a good citizen, responsible adult and all that comes with it, is.

Ricky has been there and done that. He was highly recruited out of both high school and junior college. There's nothing these kids can do that Ricky probably hasn't already tried. he says he never had a kid get kicked off of a team for lack of ability BUT he has had a kid get kicked off a team for attitude.

Listen to him and you can't help but hear the passion he has for this program!
