How is it that 80% of our current lives and focus is actually our past self (security) that stops us from becoming our 10x future self (freedom)?   IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I interview Dr. Benjamin Hardy, an organizational psychologist, keynote speaker and best-selling author who focuses on the psychology of exponential growth and transformation, future self science, and entrepreneurship.    We also discuss some of the key lessons from his recent Ben’s NEW book and collaboration with Dan Sullivan titled 10X IS EASIER THAN 2X.  Two key messages he shared that really stoo ..read more

Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. brilliantly proclaimed:   “We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”   What he knew and exemplified is simply the notion that the time for change is now.   There’s never the guarantee of tomorrow. There’s never an opportunity more viable than the imagined one today. There’s never a table more perfectly se ..read more

Werner Erhard defined personal power as: "...a function of the rate at which you translate intention into reality. Most of us disempower ourselves by finding a way to slow, impede, or make more complex than necessary the process of translating intention into reality." Eventually, there's no escaping the big questions: What's my best life? What do I believe in? Where do I belong? IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, it's time for a little check in and some deeper conversation around the notion of YOUR GREATEST WORK. When things get messy and the moment seems to call you back to the familiarity of the First ..read more

This week we are closing shop to do a little inventory. Personal inventory that is, and the shop is social media.  It’s that time of year. The seasons are changing. Some of you may be feeling the itch to create some change in your life. Many companies are looking to evaluate their condition as they head into the final quarter of the year. If you’ve got the itch and are feeling anxious for something different, it’s time to close down your own shop to take inventory. IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I deliver a challenge/invitation for you to take some intentional time away from the social distracti ..read more

In 1 Corinthians 4:3 Paul reveals his stoic view on the opinions of others, while also sharing some of his recipe for personal progress: “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.” It’s clear to me that Paul had little time nor space in his own head for the opinions of others, neither did he entrench himself with self judgment. It’s often we become soaked in the decoy of criticism and over-evaluation of others and one’s self. Both are most often ego driven.  Certainly the assertion of right to cast a critical ..read more

If you want to fly, you’re going to need to lighten your load before takeoff. Your ability to be agile, resilient, adaptable, ready to go without baggage when the destination you seek is YOU 2.0, will make the difference between launch and failure to launch.  Successful flights call for a massive amount of forward momentum and clarity and agility.   Remember that growth is always a choice. Breakthroughs happen for those willing to give up security for significance.  As human beings we will go to great lengths to avoid life’s most precious and messy opportunities for growth. In f ..read more

Bedros Keuilian advised: “Don’t ever make permanent decisions on temporary feelings. The pain of loss, fear, regret, shame, anger, hopelessness and rejection will pass...and when it does...you’ll make the right decision for your life when you’re clear-headed. How quick are we to assume, react, and then act based on a biased judgement? How often do we take a path of comfort rather than one that challenges our ease? How ready are we to avoid the hard rather than embrace the right? IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on REACTIVE VALIDATION and how we as humans beings c ..read more

We’ve heard it said before: “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”   Time is the ever waning commodity not yet assigned a market value, because you just can’t buy it. It’s the same daily 24 hour allotment for each person on this planet regardless of title or position in life. It can be given and taken but not transferred. Time can also be a vacuum. Time has no end or beginning, and certainly no certainty.    IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I share with you my thoughts on TIME, the story of a dear friend, and the real opportunity for each of us when it comes to how we honor t ..read more
