In this epidsode, I give a quick introduction of how Despite The Odds came about, what it is, and what I hope it accomplishes for people going through any type of challenge in life.

My interview with Alvin Law is packed full of wisdom from one of the most confident people I've spoken to despite the fact that he was born with no arms and given up for adoption at birth.  Not only did he overcome being born with no arms, we talk in depth about the lessons he has learned in life overcoming various adversities in his life.

When people spend all of their time blaming someone or something for what happened to them, they give up the positive energy it takes to heal.

No matter your circumstance…..Find your tribe!!!!! 

You will never be attractive to others if you aren’t attractive to yourself.

If you are in an abusive relationship….YOU DON’T NEED TO STAY!!!

Most human being's problems are based in their own lack of confidence in themselves.

It takes courage….not weakness, to ask for help.

It is what it is.  I didn’t ask to be born this way.  It is what it is.  It’s all about accepting your circumstance with class….dignity….and respect.

Mike Arce got himself into debt with collector's calling in his mid 20's.  No matter where you are in life, it is never to late to make a massive change.  He went on to start a 7 figure digital advertising agency in the fitness space with only $500 in the bank in the middle of the great recession.

"The Ripple Effect of Great People"

Everything in life is a gift.  You either treat it as a gift or you treat it as an obstacle depending on how you look at it.

Take responsibility for your own life and your own actions.

Everything is a sign. You will find what you are looking for.

Reality is merely your intention and your attention multiplied.

You don’t have to do extraordinary things to change the world.  You can change the world by doing ordinary things in an extraordinary way.

When you really know what you want, the world is your library.
