Everyone Is Insecure Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode I mention a comment made in Tim Ferriss' "Four Hour Workweek" about all human beings being insecure at some level.

Why does this matter? Well, people tend to have an authority bias towards those who have accomplished things of significance, placing them on pedestals and acting as though they have all the answers. As though they don't share the same questions and concerns as everyone else.

In reality, no one has all the answers or has everything figured out. The differentiator is that some people push forward anyway. Like Ryan Holiday states, confidence is earned.

So yes, we are all insecure. We all have our doubts and problems. But greatness is about moving forward anyway, knowing the losses will make you stronger and the little victories will ultimately stack up.

Not Enough Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I discuss Warren Buffett's belief that the greatest threat to a business is complacency, and offer some suggestions on how to weaponize your strengths to continue growing, evolving and learning.

Don't Be Afraid to Walk Away May 31, 2020

Show notes

"I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me"

In this episode I talk about the process of leaving behind all that doesn't serve you and re-building life in your own terms.

The Simple Secret to Taking Action May 30, 2020

Show notes

Contrary to what we may tell ourselves, doing nothing is a choice. Indecision is, in fact, a decision.

That leads to the obvious question: "Well, what do we do about it then?"

In this episode I discuss a mental shift that will change how you view decision making and motivate you to begin moving towards your ideal self.

Playing the Hand You Were Dealt May 29, 2020

Show notes

"Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes playing a poor hand well."

In this episode I discuss the important of understanding that life is broken down into two categories: Things we can't control, and things we can.

When we accept the things we can't control and take responsibility for the things we can, we put ourselves in position to overcome obstacles and live life to the fullest.

Why People Stay the Same May 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I discuss a concept from Daniel Kahneman's book "thinking fast and slow," where he states that people are far more interested in protecting themselves from losses than they are in pursuing opportunity.

Without realizing it, we spend our entire lives in protection mode. This manifests itself in the form of optimistic denial, as Tim Ferris puts it. Since we are so concerned with preserving and maintaining the status quo we invent reasons to avoid the discomfort of change...we live to stay the same.

But what if we didn't? What if we could teach ourselves to become aware of this phenomenon and cut through the excuses and procrastination we're so accustomed to? In this episode, I dive into exactly that question.

Detail is the Enemy May 27, 2020

Show notes

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

In this episode, I make the argument that unwarranted detail and granularity are the greatest enemies to growth. We don't begin the journey because we don't have all the answers. We don't begin the youtube channel because we don't have all the right equipment. We stay in bad relationships because we can't fathom the logistics of what could come next.

These are all examples of details becoming larger than the objective. The truth is, is you want something, simplify and move toward that thing. The detail will ultimately work itself out. This process is all part of mastery. Details are accumulated and mastered over a lifetime, not before you take your first step.

Almost May 26, 2020

Show notes

How many best selling books were "almost" written? How many award winning movies were "almost" made? How many life changing relationships were "almost" started? We will never know. But what we do know is that a single decision often separates our greatest accomplishments from their inverse: regret

In this episode I discuss the power of being on the right side of "almost," looking back years from now and laughing with family and friends about how you almost didn't go, you almost gave up, or you almost walked away...but thankfully you continued forward, and life was never the same because of it.

Remember How Far You've Come May 25, 2020

Show notes

"The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you've come."

In this episode I discuss the value and necessity of looking back for the sake of acknowledging your progress and personal growth.

We spend so much time focused on tomorrow that we forget to look back and appreciate what we've already overcome. We forget to look at our hard work in totality. We fail to see the courageous decisions that created our current reality.

The road ahead will present its adversity. But don't forget, you've overcome more than you give yourself credit for. Your track record has proof of resilience. Once you see that, you'll know you are well equipped for whatever may come next.

An Ode to Excellence May 24, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I talk about a promise I made to myself 6 years ago, with my back against the wall, no money coming in and the future very much uncertain.

It was a time that, contrary to what it seemed in the moment, would end up changing the trajectory of my life and the way I looked at the world.

Years later, with all that in the rear view, it seems apparent that both my personal and professional growth were not remarkable or spectacular, but rather, quite ordinary. My reality today is a consequence of one thing: putting all my chips on the table and promising not to stop.

When times are most difficult and uncertain, we should remember that simple premise. The world does not require of you to have it all figured out or ask that a masterpiece be created overnight. Sometimes success is simply hanging on when others would let go. It's trusting yourself to see a finish line that others cannot.
