It’s Time for a Mind Shift: Your Perspective is Your Reality.

“All it takes is just a little change of perspective and you begin to see a whole new world.”

~ B. Ross

In this week’s episode I take a hard look at why we tend to be our own worst enemy. I am sure that I am not the only person to get stuck in seeing things only through my lens. Especially when I was young, I feel victim to this time and time again. The funny thing about having the ability to see things with a different perspective is, it takes time to see things change and evolve from the way you have always seen them.

The ability to take a hard turn from this way of seeing things is forcing a mind shift from the way you have always done things. How many times do we only seek the information that we wish to believe? Allowing ourselves to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves can be very difficult. I am reminded of what Shakespear once said, “To thine own self be true.” This means having a hard conversation with ourselves when we find selves running in circles and never breaking free of the same old habits.

I discuss how this mind shift approach can work with your finances, your relationships, you job and your health. In order to get results that you have never gotten you must do things the way you have never done them. Everyone is capable of doing this, it just comes down to you making the decision to get out of your own way!

My Miracle Story: The Day Divine Intervention Changed Everything.

“Never stop believing in hope. Miracles happen everyday.”

~ K. Treehouse

It is not uncommon for us to experience moments in our life that are hard to explain. However, there may be times when the only explanation for what has taken place is recognizing it had to come from a higher source. In this week’s episode I share a very personal story that would be hard to believe if you didn’t witness it or if you aren’t a person of faith.

To fully understand the miraculous moment that took place in 2018 I give some history on what all my dad had been through in his cardiac journey. After enduring a heart attack that required quintuple bypass surgery, and then aortic aneurism surgery, he suffered a second heart attack that left him clinging to life.

As a paramedic I had seen some incredible moments where people overcame some impossible odds, but none of those calls could even come close to what I witnessed during a week in 2018. I feel like this episode speaks to the incredible power of prayer and the power of God’s work.

Why The Grind Is Necessary: Finding Your Motivator.

“You can’t cheat the grind. It knows how much you have invested; it won’t give you anything you haven’t worked for.”

~ Unknown

I feel like it is safe to say that we here in America are not patient with results. The moment we have an idea enter our head we want to see the finished product. I refer to it as the Ozempic path to achievements.

Regardless, if it is financial freedom, a healthier life or furthering your education, to have lasting results we must put in the work. In this week’s episode I discuss why the process is necessary. When we fast-forward our achievement, we learn nothing. It’s like building a foundation on sand instead of rock, the results are destined to fail.

It is during the grind that we gain all our tools that will be necessary to build and adjust as time passes. I’m reminded of a pitcher in the big leagues that came up as a flame thrower and over time he had to learn how to pitch with finesse. Without putting all the years of work in pitching he wouldn’t have the knowledge or skill set to adjust when things change. This train of thought stands true in everyday life. If we suddenly show up at the finish line, we will have no idea what it takes to grow and maintain. Your life is worth the effort and the journey is always the gift. This week I hope you will feel the energy and it will ignite a fire to go out there and GRIND!

Leadership Isn’t A Concept, It’s Action: Finding Your Purpose and Your Voice.

“A leader is one that knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” ~ J. Maxwell

We find leaders in every step of life. Regardless if a person holds an official position with a title or not, leadership can be seen in all directions, and anyone can choose to be that person. The idea behind leadership is influence. When you take actions that inspire others to act, you are essentially the leader in that moment.

In this week’s episode I dive into the characteristics that makeup a great leader and those things that make for a poor leader. Knowing the right way to handle every situation is not feasible, but having the best interest for other’s is something you can do every time. Some of the best leadership I’ve seen have come from individuals that are selfless and are always willing to do more than they would ever ask of someone else. That type of leadership is very intentional and often yields the best results.

I speak on the many different styles of leadership, as well as the importance of acknowledging how we all have influence, because everyone is watching someone, and you never know who is watching you. I feel like this episode has something for everyone and I look forward to hearing your own take on great leadership.

Seasons Come and Seasons Go: How to Write the Next Chapter.

“With the changing season comes new beginnings.”

~ Unknown

This week I sit down with my longtime friend Mr. Jim Logan. Jim is a retired special operations firefighter/paramedic from the city of Memphis. After his long-storied career on the fire department, Jim found himself in a place most of us will be if we are blessed to live long enough, a fork in the road.

Very often, people that dedicate their entire adult life to serving the public can feel lost or even stuck when they get toward the back end of their life. We take a serious look at what options are out there for someone that has spent 20, 25, 30 or even 35 years as a first responder.

Along the way you are building skills and structure that you may not even realize. We point out several ways that those skills can serve you in your transition years. In addition, we talk about how a young person can start putting those building blocks in place so that when that time comes they will be more than prepared.

If you are new to first responding or if you have put a lifetime in, I know that you will get something out of this episode. Living life with intention is the best way to squeeze every ounce out of every day.

From Couch To Everything: Tips on How to Start Your Very Own Training Path to Running.

“Every expert was once a beginner, embrace the journey.”

~ R. Sharma

Part 2

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just get started. Taking the first step toward any new adventure takes hope and confidence. The hope is, what you are doing will make a difference, and the confidence comes from, knowing that you are up for the challenge.

At the turn of every new calendar year people will make new year’s resolutions and many of those resolutions will revolve around fitness. People will start a running routine or join a gym or yoga classes. Then after about two weeks the drive and determination start to fade and slowly, they stop trying.

Over my 20 plus years of running I have learned that the key to staying consistent is making your goals a priority. In this second part on running, I explain and share some of the things that have kept me inspired and driven me to continue pushing even when I have had to take temporary breaks due to injuries.

I feel like this week’s information is exactly what every armature runner can use and if you have never considered making running a part of your lifestyle then maybe this episode will give you the confidence to get started.

How To Begin Your Running Journey: Tips Everyone Should Know Before Starting A Running Regimen.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

~ Laozi

Part 1

Every new adventure we decide to embark upon, we will have plenty of learning curves. When I started out running, I thought to myself, how hard can it be? You just hit the road or the treadmill, and you go. To a great extent this thought process isn’t wrong, but the deeper truth is, there are a lot of things that a person should know if they want to grow and push their limits.

I decided to break this information up into two episodes. In this week’s episode I dive into the do’s and do not’s of preparing for a race. Beyond the training, there are plenty of things that play into a person’s ability to achieve their goals and get better with each run.

I give a breakdown of what clothing items to consider when running, how to get started, what things you can do to try and avoid injuries, and what lessons I have learned through the years and my many races.

The major thing that I try to emphasize in this episode is that this journey must be about you. This is your pathway to making a better you and creating challenges that help you grow not only as a runner, but as a person. I am in no way a professional, but I can honestly say that I am a very seasoned armature. I hope you find this information both helpful and inspirational.

Overcoming The Struggle with Alignment

“Make a habit of asking yourself: Does this align with the life I’m trying to create.”

~ Unknown

In this episode I look at why people have trouble aligning their paths to find success. Understanding why we often become distracted from our goals or having trouble getting to the finish line, will help us create better habits and a more organized thought process.

I have been guilty of putting too many irons in the fire at the same time and then feeling overwhelmed and knowing what direction I need to go in next. When we allow those moments to develop, we invite confusion and chaos into our lives. My goal with this episode is to bring some awareness to how these things happen and hopefully give some tips and ideas of how to avoid those pitfalls.

A very difficult hurdle to overcome is a person that is extremely ambitious and deals with ADD at the same time. Organizing and prioritizing can be a daunting task. I use myself and several of my past experiences to paint a picture of how I have learned to do better in these areas, and I hope that my revelations to my own life will somehow help you if you find yourself in a similar struggle.

A few things that must be present to make progress in better aligning your life is one, recognition, two, a desire to do better and three, patience. The third one tends to be the one that I struggle with the most.
