Our Final Words of the Show at 52 minutes:

My guiding principle in life is I don’t get to choose when I die. But I sure get to choose how I live. If you just check in with yourself every day, ask yourself, am I choosing how I want to live? If you make little adjustments towards that, more and more, you’re gonna be happier and more authentic and just be shining as who you’re supposed to be.

Today We Talk Empowerment To Help You, The Listener, Re-tool and Change Your Life:

After working to support his family as a struggling artist, Derek Stone chose to reevaluate his life and his way of thinking, and in three short years grew a small one-man show into a million-dollar company. This amazing transformation came about through a decision to forgive his father. Derek left

the path of blame and began traveling down a path of forgiveness which led him to start living his best life. He is now on a mission to help empower others to make the same transformation by helping them take charge of their own lives.

Quote: When you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war within. ~ Cheryl Richardson

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn’t lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought “there’s got to be a better way.” He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of Creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the “better way” he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success to one decision as a senior in high school. He started looking back at his life to figure out what made him so different from his three siblings. The difference. . . he chose to forgive his dad and to take a different path than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness.

36 years since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives. He loves God, loves his family, and loves people.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Understanding Resentment, Bitterness, and Anger.
2. Self-Realization on Family and Life Balance.
3. For whatever is your why choose to forgive.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I would say the anger, which is derived from the bitterness, and once the anger matures, it becomes in bitterness, and then once those two mature, they become resentment.

20:45 – So we were at this conference and this dude, Dave Park, was talking about bitterness versus forgiveness. He said, some of you need to forgive a parent or a sibling or aunt or uncle or grandparent and my blood pressure started going and all of a sudden, all these memories started flooding back through my head, like a time-lapse video, and I started getting angry. Then this voice came to me man and said, Derek, I want to use you, but I can’t. Because you have this bitterness towards your dad.

31:00 – I had a conversation with my wife that was very, very humbling for me because my pride is always kind of my pride it always just like she really just doesn’t know. But she in fact did. I don’t know how she did. It’s like your parents when you’re a teenager, they always know you’re running around screwing around doing something. How do they know that?

42:00 – That is a valid point, you know, not to look down on it now. But I’m just saying, it wasn’t a necessity. I hated doing it. But I had to do what I had to do to get myself to a better place while I retooled, you know that’s what was going on. Then the moment I stopped, the unemployment went right into a job doing construction, grunt work stuff, and bad stuff.

50:00 – I guess where we are is where we are in life. You know, people do that look at us and say some of those things sometimes. I missed the whole first year and my first month of my second child’s life.

59:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

My wife wrote the last sentence in the book and it says “for whatever is your why choose to forgive.” I think that sometimes you have to search in your heart for your why, what it is that you do, or maybe it’s the why that you don’t want to pass on something to your kids, or you don’t want to pass stuff through to your wife. The people you love the most are next, they are the ones that are going to be hurt the most by your bitterness and your resentment. Yeah, for whatever is your why choose to forgive.

In 2011 I created a nutrition program for the LA Lakers that many NBA and professional sports teams have emulated. This program, along with the 2008 edition of my first book Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food is credited with helping spark the current bone-broth and collagen craze, as well as inspiring thought leaders in the nutrition and KETO space.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:00 – Not all FAT is created equal. The kinds of fats that are in the seeds that we’ve all been unknowingly consuming, the seed oils are those called polygon stable, they should be called polyunsaturated, and they’re unstable. So that’s why they stay liquid in the fridge, that’s why they’re softer, right? That’s why they add them because they’re unstable.

20:00 – PUFA aka Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid.

30:00 – I was a doctor and I had the symptoms of hypoglycemia myself. I would have my cereal, Raisin Bran for breakfast with my skim milk. If I was really indulgent, I’d have 2%, and added sugar, of course, had to have more sugar on that. So that would be at seven AM and then by noon or one PM, whenever I got to my lunch, my fingers were cold and I’d be shaky. I would be kind of like, oh come on, just give me my lunch already. Those symptoms, that’s hypoglycemia. So I was already on that diabetes spectrum, and I had no clue.

40:00 – At the turn of the century, 50% of Americans lived on farms. Now I would be willing to bet that would also be that of our small business world. But that was America. What made America great was the fact that we were founded on small business farmers, we were self-sufficient people, we knew how to make good food. That’s what made us great, that’s actually, by the way, a huge reason why a lot of English people left England too.

50:00 – So that’s why I have two phases in the plan that talks about the baby-steps phase for folks who are more metabolically damaged and need to spend more time with taking those baby steps. If you’re not quite so metabolically damaged, then you can jump right into a KETO diet. But the two phases are to fix your metabolism and then burn your body fat. If you have a really high-fat burn factor, you can just start right into cutting calories by intermittent fasting.

54:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

The thought that I want to leave people with is that food used to be this holy transcendental sensation. It wasn’t just about energy. It was about connecting with your family and your environment. It was about how good you can make something tasty and how much time you could spend in the kitchen. How much time you could spend prepping the animal’s yourselves and growing your own food.

We have completely turned that as a thing that we need to turn upside down, they talk about turning the food pyramid upside down. If we could turn our pride, our food priority upside down, and get back to where we have been for our entire humanity, human history until like the industrial era, when TV shows told us that, the kitchen was just like a place you wanted to get out of as fast as possible, you should eat microwave dinners. Before the TV told us this, we knew in our bones, that if you spent time in your garden, that food was going to be good for you. I don’t care what it is, what kind of vegetable it is, it was going to be good for you. If you raised animals yourselves, you knew that they were healthy. You knew that the food was good. Forget about saturated fat and all of this kind of stuff. That’s what matters and that’s the only thing that matters. I would love it if we could shift the conversation away from macros and calories and to things like healthy soil and healthy plants and animals.

Timestamped Show Notes:

• 00:30 Introduction
• 11:24 I have got the Hotshots book that’s going to benefit my new FUEL Foundations. I’ve got the annual fallen firefighters workout that we do in the F13 Performance, and more. All of this is now benefiting the foundation and then obviously the foundation will be able to give back as we see fit. I now even moved our Jordan Creek Singletrack projects under that because I’ve been paying out of my pocket forever and I still will. However, we need a foundation to build support and positive charitable growth.
• 10:30 I’m not taking any profit. Let’s be real here, one thing I’ve learned in this self-publishing school mastermind group and learn from other authors, is that you’re not going to become rich. It’s just a passion project to give back.
• 20:00 My wife calls me on my shit and loves to quote Joe Rogan.
• 23:28 As we continue to grow and succeed, you will attract the haters along with the lovers. You have got to sort through the mess, keep rolling with it, keep punching through it, and keep taking that imperfect action.
• 28:30 Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

You have got to figure out your day. You have got to figure out what fires you up. Maybe you have a side hustle in you. Maybe you have a business in you that you’ve always wanted to kind of play around with.

You know what, life is short. If you don’t like your job, or your career, CHANGE IT! It might not happen in six months or two years, but at least you will have something going on that helps you feel free. Find that free time that fires you up. If anything, I find too many things to fire me up these days.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [00:30] Introduction
• [10:40] The ultimate efficiency enhancers you have to figure it out. But I’m with you. When I moved to Plancorp, about four and a half years ago, the biggest life-changing move I made was time-blocking. Nobody can touch my morning. My mornings are sacred. I put big blocks on my calendar. I said do not book meetings, and it allows me in, the best thing you can do is just try not to open an email.
• [20:00] I sit down and I write and I unload. I don’t always know what I’m going to write in advance. So I mentioned when I wrote 5000 words, I said, I wonder if I could turn this into a book. I just kept going and naturally, that part was really natural to me, because I write frequently now.
• [33:00] You can go get a lot of investment advice online for super cheap, the thing we do is we just make sure people don’t get killed on their taxes and get your tax projections. You do that through eliminating surprises in a simple tax projection as a business owner. You might find that you can accelerate income or expenses, or the salary you have. Stay below that net investment, income tax and all the planning work that goes into that. That’s a big reason to outsource that so you can focus on your business.
• [40:00] I come from parents of doctors, so maybe I’m biased. Generally, you go to a professional expert, you go to the attorney. Generally, if you go to someone, you should trust that the advice is not in anyone’s interest, but making your financial life better.
• [51:55] Final Words

Final Words:

I think a lot of people just want to make sure they’re doing the right thing. Money can seem complicated but it just doesn’t have to be. Life is very complicated and you’re trying to find ways to simplify it. Don’t let it be something that you put to the side because it seems complicated. There’s a lot of great resources out there, not just my own that are helping simplify it.

The internet has done wonderful things, podcasts like this have done wonderful things in making these issues more approachable. So I really encourage you to try to, if there’s something you’ve been putting off, like your finances. That one thing you can probably think of, go ahead and just do that take care of it now because the benefit from it will compound over time.

International Speaker, Writer, Filmmaker, and Strength in Truth and Vulnerability Advocate:

Philip works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. As a speaker, he has inspired and challenged the Canadian Olympic Team and The Pentagon to name a few. He is also the founder and is spearheading the One Last Talk™ movement.

Quote: “A mid-life crisis is nothing more than your life decisions catching up with you.” – Philip McKernan

He helps people get clear on who they are and where they need to go. He helps them transition in their personal and professional lives so people feel aligned in all areas of life. Philip believes who and what we do ‘off the ice’ has a huge impact on our results ‘on the ice’. His groundbreaking Team Deepening™ work with organizations gives teams a refreshing way to connect and build real and collective resilience.

What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers and gurus is originality. He brings new conversations to the table and spends an obscene amount of time thinking and challenging the status quo, instead of simply repackaging business & life hacking strategies. Philip McKernan is a philosopher, a modern day philosopher of the human experience. His pioneering philosophy around SoulSet™ equips and empowers people to uncover their gifts and impact the world.

With a knack of getting into all sorts of scenarios – he’s caddied in golf for the President of Ireland, been chased and nearly killed by a bull elephant in Nigeria and made wine in Australia. He has traveled to 80 countries around the globe, built an orphanage in Peru, written 5 books despite being dyslexic and created his first documentary film called Give & Grow. The film explores how the gift of giving makes us feel more worthy and alive. It also explores the science behind the impact of giving on our emotional well being, our mental health, our physiology, and our businesses.

Philip believes the path to a happy and fulfilling life is found through the meaning we derive in life through the WORK we do, our relationship to OTHERS and the most important relationship of all, the one with one’s SELF.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Embracing Vulnerability
2. Finding Strength in Truth
3. Team Deepening

• https://twitter.com/PhilipMcKernan
• Self-Determination Theory

Final Words:

There is nothing wrong with teambuilding, however the the research is showing that people want to “connect” more. There’s a whole body of research called Self-Determination Theory. Details linked above.

Let’s say three people want to connect and they want three things they want to be competent at with what they do. They want to be authentic in their own lives and want to connect deeply with themselves and people around them. All while deepening and our methodology behind that delivers to the three.

We believe that when you deliver authenticity and connection, your productivity increases automatically. So therefore, competency actually gets better. So we deliver two out of three with influence in the third as a byproduct to that. That’s the mission we’re on until I die.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:00″] The only way you can deepen the relationship on earth is by giving somebody a genuine says sense of vulnerability. Sharing something that perhaps they didn’t know about you, sharing something that you didn’t necessarily want to share with that person.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Group events. You’re not just one on one, you’re surrounding yourself with your peers. Everybody’s sharing their weaknesses or their opportunities together. There’s a lot of energy coming out of that. We live in a world today that doesn’t reward you for showing your weaknesses and rewards you for being successful.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I could have spent 26 years doing this, but I’m awake now after these last 6 years. It’s judgment, the minute the judgment comes in, there is no opportunity for growth. I was definitely very judging on myself years ago.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Launching the book, One Last Talk. Yeah, absolutely huge hesitations. The day it went out I was scared shitless about what the world would think. Live on Facebook, I opened the first copy of the book and my son was there. It was quite surreal. I’ve dedicated that book to the men and women who’ve done the One Last Talk’s and the men and women who are going to do them. So I just made a little promise to myself that I’ll never sign a copy of the book, which is about me giving homage to these men and women because it’s really all about them.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:00″] Impressions only come with people in connection. It doesn’t mean that you’re in the wrong job, it doesn’t mean you have to leave it, it means that you need to understand that. It’s not until you start impacting the world.

Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. – Chris Denny

The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail.

Final Words:

You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it’s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] That’s the point, that’s where some of the stress comes from, people worrying about the same things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] The other part of that is that it’s very systemized. That’s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It’s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:

I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own.

I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends.

Quote:

If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get.

In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets.

“When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.”

In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees.

And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Entrepreneurial Teams
2. Lifestyle Balance
3. PANS & PANDAS Awareness

Final Words:

If you’re in the entrepreneurial world or even if you’re just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in. Professional and personal success aren’t mutually exclusive things you can have them both but you’re probably not going to have them both by accident. You need to plan and you need to make sure that you are moving towards those goals each and every day. If you do that, you can be pretty amazed about what you can accomplish.

Influencers Mentioned:

• Fitness Influencer: VinnieTortorich.com
• Charlie Foundation: https://charliefoundation.org/about-us/
• What are PANS & PANDAS: http://www.nepans.org/panspandas-info.html

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s great now with social media because we get such quick feedback. When I started in the business world, you were going to do more direct mail for marketing. Spending a lot of money and waiting for a pretty significant amount of time for feedback.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] It allows them to stay pretty close to what they consider their wheelhouse and still do what they need to do, from a business standpoint. They have the type of business that they set out to have when they started in the first place.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] It’s not only your time, but it’s your fulfillment from what you’re doing. Getting caught up having to be the guy doing all the podcast editing and all the other stuff, and then all of a sudden the podcast gets to be a lot less fun for the host. I’m just a big believer in doing the things that are not only my best financial ROI but also the best fulfillment of me spending my team too.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Alex’s PANS. Alex has kind of a milder, case. I look at the infectious triggers that are so common. It’s really scary because it’s often misdiagnosed.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] This is kind of a two-fold challenge. I think a lot of autoimmune conditions kind of operate this way. But I wouldn’t profess to be an expert on any of it. We’ve got to kind of put out the fire. You have to get his immune system to calm back down. Then it just gets back to prevention. Good gut health is crucial. Just making sure that the body is operating the way it’s supposed to. It’s not just always having to deal with the ramifications of sugars or grains but also a lot of the processed stuff.

The Truth Behind Toxic Relationships and Your Own Toxic Family with Dr. Sherrie Campbell:

Today’s guest is Dr. Sherrie Campbell, a licensed psychologist, inspiring author, and nationally recognized expert who’s featured regularly on TV and radio, as well as Daily Mail, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur.

Quote: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Dr. Campbell is here today to share her expertise from nearly two decades of clinical training and practice to help each of you break free of the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, and rise up to live the life you were born to live.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Health Communications
2. Toxicity Awareness
3. Disowning Unhealthy Family

• Book: But It’s Your Family…: Cutting Ties with Toxic Family Members and Loving Yourself in the Aftermath

Final Words:

If you love yourself, your life is going to shift and you loving yourself sounds really super easy. It’s really not, you have to grind. You know, you’ve really got to know yourself to love yourself. And you really can’t love someone else. Unless you love you any way you’d be giving some sort of a famed love but it’s okay to set boundaries. You know, boundaries are not to hurt or to harm others. It’s just to keep the good and get the bad out.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:30″] I agree 100% and I’m very much of a coach, I’m not your passive listener, a canned psychologist that regurgitates back to you what you feel.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:00″] I lived in Leadville for a couple of years, that little town where the Leadville 100 race is.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:30″] But it is so toxic for me, so detrimental to my self worth, so many limiting beliefs created. It was crazy-making, I can’t prove a look at the disgust on someone’s face. I can’t prove a tone of voice, everything can be gaslighting.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:15″] As a child, you don’t know that your parents are in need of change. You don’t have the ability to process that in your brain yet. It really takes until you’re in your adulthood to recognize what toxic is I knew things weren’t right as a kid I knew but I couldn’t explain why. I couldn’t explain why. If I did, it would get gaslighted and turned around on me.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] If anything, if you had decency in your being, she allowed her emotions to get the best of her and her self centeredness to get the best of her. I would think a couple of days later, you’d have like some guilt, or some resolution happening. It’s like oh my god, what did I do? You know what, maybe I need to put the olive branch out there? I need to reach out to her like, I feel like a complete POS.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:40″] The number one reason people leave their job is they don’t like their boss. If it’s sick at the top, whether it’s corporate America or your family, the trickle effect is it’s going to be sick at the bottom. It’s that chemical we talked about at the beginning of the show that just slowly moves through the system who poisons it.

Time To Burn Your Couch with LionHeart Radio’s Rick Alexander!

Rick is a writer, speaker and performance coach. He’s also the author of Burn Your Couch available on Amazon! As an ex-special operations veteran and ultra-endurance athlete, Rick crafts content to help lead people through adversity and into a life of meaning. You can hear his ideas on his podcast LionHeart Radio which air’s Monday through Friday or by picking up a copy of his debut book, Burn Your Couch. (BurnYourCouch.com)

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:10″] Introduction and a regular co-host shout out to Dr. Megan Cannon, Sports Psychologist for getting Rick and Scott introduced. Plus Scott knocks Rick’s bio intro and killed it!
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:00″] It’s interesting because if you let the wrong thing get into the driver’s seat when you’re going through your life, it’s going to make you miserable. It goes back to that classic quote like how are you supposed to move forward if you’re always living behind or something like that. It’s one of these is something different manifestations of that quote, but it’s is so true.
• [spp-timestamp time=”06:24″] Why do you have to go back? If you served, then you have that honor and that respect. You can move on to start a whole new chapter.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:00″] Three of the most top psychologically strenuous things that you can go through in your life.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:00″] That’s the thing, an existential crisis we’ve made that you literally ignore your call to adventure and you continue to do the things that you think you’re supposed to do or you have all these obligations that are essentially self-imposed, right?
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:00″] If you’re really growth minded, that kind of a lifestyle is rough, and I don’t wish it on anybody, because it means you got to leave relationships, leave jobs and you leave states. If you’re going to honor the process of what growth really requires, that means that you are going to grow away from certain things that are really comfortable in it and that you might enjoy.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:45″] I think that it’s entirely possible to find people that you’re going to grow with. It’s just way harder.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:52″] One of the mindset shifts for me that it was a literal life changer was focusing on what you do want vs you don’t want. Something that’s really changed my life so you know, I don’t want to go broke is much different than I want to make six figures this year, right?
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:20″] Preconceived notions and ideas. Cognitive researchers believe that you don’t know about 95% of what goes on in your own brain.
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:00″] Writing is a process where there’s not a lot of validation.
• [spp-timestamp time=”31:20″] We’re in a culture of doers, so you just keep doing, and doing, the path just keeps getting further and further away from where you really want to be at times.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:29″] You need to protect your energy, you can end up somewhere miserable, burnt out and exhausted. Then you’re going to hate what you’re doing because I’ve literally gone down that road of hustle.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” … “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” ~ Carl Jung

• [spp-timestamp time=”37:00″] History of LionHeart. We had all CrossFit athletes that we sponsored, which is why we started the show.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:52″] I found the beauty in life which is outside of rigidity.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:04″] It’s serendipitous. The morning coffee podcast episodes on LionHeart.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I kept denying that call to adventure and because of that, I delayed what I really wanted to be doing in this world by years. It was painful and if I really fought to get that out there. Burn Your Coach was released a year ago, it was essentially the idea behind that which is a lot of what we’re talking about. Most people mistake being comfortable for being happy and those two things just aren’t the same.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:51″] Who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with? Who are the inner circles that you’re allowing your manifestation to take with? Setting big hairy audacious goals normally does not come from the old circles of influence, they come from the new circles of influence that you’re allowing into your life.
• [spp-timestamp time=”48:11″] I got out of the military at 12 years. Everybody said you got to do eight more years. The only thing I could think about is eight years to do a job that you’re unhappy with when you know there’s an entire life you want to be doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”50:39″] I just finished recording the audiobook literally yesterday. It’s a ridiculous process.
• [spp-timestamp time=”51:23″] There are some great books like former Navy SEAL guys or stories of Navy SEAL’s. Check out Fearless about former SEAL, Adam Brown.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:33″] I wanted to be a rock star my whole life. I spent a couple years playing in the music industry and we were huge but we had like a local song on the radio and we opened for some bands that I liked.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] How can we achieve more? Do the thing that you feel called to do in the world. It will be the biggest performance hack you could ever imagine.
• [spp-timestamp time=”55:24″] Final Words

Final Words:

I’m going to close it with a Carl Young quote. It wasn’t the quote I gave you at the beginning of the show:

“Until you make the subconscious conscious, it’s going to rule your life and you’re going to call it fate.”

I think there’s no more worthy ideal than figuring out who you really want to be in what you really are. I know I’ve been talking about it throughout this whole show.

Until you do that, everything else won’t matter. You’ll put your energy in the wrong place, you’ll be in the wrong relationship, you’ll do the wrong job and not necessarily every single aspect.

• Hobbies
• Business
• Giving Back

Scott’s Create Space Domains Breakout:

• Friendships/Relationships
• Family/Loved Ones
• Finance/Money
• Health/Fitness
• Spirtuality/Faith
• Mindset Growth/Education

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”02:12″] Talk about surrounding yourself with powerful influencers.
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:08″] So that’s a pain in the butt.
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:30″] We have several personas throughout our journey, and we realized your name doesn’t change.
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:17″] You have a new journal coming out soon.
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:20″] I feel like so many of us know what to do. But we don’t create the space to actually do it. That’s a psychologist in me.
• [spp-timestamp time=”17:33″] We gotta pause on that. Yeah, there’s always a way to figure it out, that’s a mindset piece, not everybody hearing this has that yet.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] I had to put it in my calendar, I had to rearrange my priorities. I had to put it in so it had a slot and and then I would do it because I knew once I had a plan I would execute.
• [spp-timestamp time=”22:31″] What I love about the network marketing world, too, is that it could really just be 15 minutes or an hour a day. It doesn’t have to be 12 hours a day. It really is just intentional time because they say a 1% shift will take you in a completely new direction and a half an hour a day, 15 minutes a day.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:30″] So the particular activating system is a part of your brain, that’s basically like your filter. We hear and we consume like 70,000 things throughout the day. Well, our brain can’t handle all of that. So there’s a filter that decides what’s most important to you.
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:21″] My mindset was different than where I am today. So things are seen and looked at differently. I do understand manifestation in a more scientific way. So I’m intrigued to see how you would respond to that.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:54″] I mean, even the Bible talks about the power of the tongue and taking your thoughts captive. There’s a lot of things that I’m like, oh, I learned about this in church the whole time. I just never realized it was the same thing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:12″] You created space in your life and you physically made a space to have a prayer closet.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:53″] Denise’s seven domains. When I studied psychology, we called them the six or seven domains of life. So I’m intrigued to see how you’re going to label these out.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:24″] I think a lot of times people will tell me that they’re striving for balance. You’re going to flow in and out.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:47″] The bodybuilding competition. I’ve always worked out and I’ve been interested in that. I feel like that really taught me how to eat because before, I was eating out. So that taught me how to cook nutritious food, eat whole foods and in moderation, still have my treat every once in a while. The habits are so strong now that it’s not hard. I’m still drinking like a gallon of water a day.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:58″] You have your dream life goal, you have affirmations, visualizations connected to that goal, because it goes from our head to our heart. We’re not just going to say it but we need to believe it. Then we go into our action items. The dream life action items. What can I do for this goal today, then I added dream relationship action and dream health action.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:10″] A 1% change will take you somewhere completely different.
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] Final Words

If You Can Believe It, You Can Achieve It! Our Theme with Today’s LIVE Guest Co-Host, Jeremy Motivates:

Jeremy Vermeulen is a husband, father, youth basketball coach, motivational speaker and author. His talks focus on the topics of happiness, overcoming adversity, believing in yourself, positivity and leadership.

He has always been someone who has found joy in helping people realize that life is so much more than what is right in front of them. In the winter of 2012, Jeremy jumped at the opportunity to volunteer as a youth basketball coach for a non-profit organization and live out a lifelong dream of coaching. This is where his passion to help others really started to shine. Then, in 2015 after overcoming a one and a half year battle with depression Jeremy’s passion became a burning desire fueled by a single notion that “If you believe it, you can achieve it!” Since then his mission has been to take his message from the basketball court and share it with the masses.

Jeremy’s belief that personal growth and development a long with hard work can help you achieve the life you desire; it is what drives him to continuously learn new methods and techniques that can be used to enhance not only his life but also the lives of others as well.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:14″] Independent youth facilities and organizations, basketball seasons, reinforcing all these positive things. Reinforce that if you make a mistake, it’s all right, you’re going to make a mistake. But get back up, get back with the team, keep doing what you’re doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:26″] I don’t let any kid ever feel like they are the weak link, I identify which kids are strong and what skills, etc. Some kids maybe have two to three good skills.
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:27″] Most of my speaking when I go out to youth organizations, or even mental health facilities, like outpatient mental health facilities, I’m telling them about my story. I’m telling them how I fought back against those things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”14:35″] Embrace your fears.
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:50″] Initially, I’d hit a pause. Life will get in the way, you know, family things, whatever it may be.
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:22″] Setting a definitive ultimate goal. At the end of the year, you gotta have it completed. Draw a hard line in the sand.
• [spp-timestamp time=”24:08″] I look at life as a journey. We all have one. We’re all living that journey every day. Mine was trying to find happiness through some of the adversity that I had faced.
• [spp-timestamp time=”28:25″] There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for my kids. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t sacrifice for them. There are sacrifices I’m making in my life, to give them a better life, not to say that I had a bad life, but something different than I had.

• [spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] Two years to get past the change the shame component.

Dear Billie Author, PTSD Spokesman, Ben Miller:

Today’s new guest co-host is a multi-author, with his most recent project, Dear Billie. We’re trying to help Ben get the word out there on his Kickstarter launch for this book.

Ben Miller was born and raised in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania, graduating Nazareth High School in Nazareth, PA in 1993. Immediately after high school, he enlisted in the US Navy and attended boot camp in Orlando, FL. Miller was then trained in Naval Intelligence and granted security clearance two levels above Top Secret with an additional compartment.

While working overseas with Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron Two (VQ-2) during the Bosnian War, Miller began suffering crippling attacks that military doctors were unable to explain. Miller was transported back to America and based on his exemplary record, he was awarded an early Honorable Discharge. It was later determined by a team of doctors with the Department of Veterans Affairs that Miller suffered from Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia and PTSD, which were both deemed service-connected.

Miller elected to pursue a college degree at Lock Haven University, where he also joined the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity. He graduated in 2001 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and a Minor in Journalism. It would be four more years and a series of personal tragedies, before Miller began his literary career as a columnist with Exit Zero, a weekly magazine based in Cape May, NJ.

His initial writings were primarily historical in nature, though he also penned the occasional feature story and editorial. In 2008, Miller set his sights on a higher goal, when he created ‘Donate My Weight’, a campaign to use weight loss as a means to raise donations for food banks across America. He appeared on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX news segments all over the country, along with a series of radio interviews and appearances on the 10! Show, Good Day Philadelphia and the Rachael Ray Show.

In July of 2009, Exit Zero Publishing released Miller’s first book, The First Resort, a hardcover coffee table book that profiles America’s first resort town, Cape May, NJ. The book features 300 full-color pages and details the city’s history from 1609 to 2009, accentuated with over 500 pictures. The First Resort has been well received by critics, historians and fans of Cape May from around the world, selling out of its initial printing after only a few months. The Philadelphia Inquirer named it one of the ‘Top 10 Coffee Table Books of 2009’.

Miller’s second book, In the Land of Exit Zero, was released in 2011. It’s a children’s book focusing on Cape May’s history and all the book’s illustrations are original oil paintings that were commissioned by the publisher. Cape May Moments is Miller’s third book about the region’s history and is currently being edited by the publisher.

As Miller’s disabilities worsened with each passing year, Panic Disorder and PTSD grew into generalized anxiety disorder and depression. Meanwhile, unexpected physical challenges arose, and Miller was diagnosed with severe spinal problems, Meniere’s Disease and the autoimmune disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis.

A husband and father of five, Miller continues to push back against his struggles and currently sees several private doctors on a regular basis, along with doctors from the VA. He is “Medically Retired” due to his disabilities and rated 100% disabled by the VA and Social Security. Nonetheless, Miller refuses to acquiesce to his conditions and give up living as productive a life as possible.

He is an avid volunteer with fundraising for families in need and non-profit organizations in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania and in Cape May, NJ. Miller has also voluntered his services to curate three critically-acclaimed museum exhibits for the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and is scheduled to open his fourth next Spring. For his volunteerism efforts, Miller has received citations and proclamations from the New Jersey Legislature, Senate of Pennsylvania, United States Senate, and the Department of Defense.

Miller’s newest book, Dear Billie – Salvation in the Poconos, is the telling of his personal story from a “top performer with unlimited potential” in the world of Naval Intelligence, to a man who struggles to lead any semblance of a normal life. This book digs deep into Miller’s past and opens doors that had been long locked away in his mind, sharing aspects of his life and faith to remind people that even in the most profound disappointments and personal suffering, there is always hope for a brighter future.

Armando Cruz is a husband, father, adventurer, best-selling author, ultramarathon endurance runner, lifestyle physical therapist, and legacy coach.

Armando helps growth-minded, married men live happier, more connected, and more fulfilled lives. He does this with his immersive coaching program that helps men show up powerfully in their marriage, in their health, in their business, and in their purpose. Armando’s unique approach helps strip away the clutter both internally and externally that is stopping men from showing up daily as the greatest and grandest version of who they are for themselves, their family, and their legacy.

Armando has climbed mountains, run over 50 miles in a day in swamps filled with snakes and alligators, has lived out of his car, and has rollerbladed and surfed in hurricanes but his biggest adventure has been fatherhood.

He is the best selling author of “The Legacy Code: Modern Man’s Guide To Escape Obscurity & Live A Life Unleashed”, the creator of the Cleanse & Renewal Program, the Modern Man Virtual Summit, and the R.I.C.H. Man Experience. He is the co-owner of Cruz Country Fitness & Physical Therapy with his wife, Christian.

BE CURIOUS…

If you are curious, you never stop searching, you never stop seeking what’s around the next corner. Armando is not saying this from the perspective that you are not happy where you are.

Be curious to be excited, to immerse yourself in life and you will see that it will take you a lot further. Too many people try and force things. But if you are curious about what is around the next corner, it is not because you are going to gain something, it is because it is there. That in it of itself, that discovery in and of itself, will be an asset to your life!

Coffee Lovers, Blue Light Blockers and the Eye Love Cares Foundation With Travis Zigler:

Dr. Travis Zigler graduated in 2010 from The Ohio State University College of Optometry with Magna Cum Laude honors. He is the founder of Eye Love, whose mission is to end preventable blindness. Dr. Travis and his wife, Dr. Jenna Zigler, use the profits from Eye Love to fund free and low-cost clinics in Jamaica. They also started a charity called the Eye Love Cares Foundation, which provides exams, glasses and sunglasses for those in need, free education, and scholarships for students that align with their mission. Dr. Travis enjoys traveling to Jamaica, training for marathons, and playing the ukulele while he drinks his morning coffee (French press… mmmm). Let’s not forget their blue light blocker glasses!

Eye Love’s long-term mission and vision:

A portion of profits from Eye Love sales is donated to the Eye Love Cares Foundation and funds are then used to provide glasses, sunglasses, and eye exams for those who cannot afford to obtain proper eye care. In the future, the Foundation will be used to fund permanent free and low-cost clinics in both the US and Jamaica, and it is our goal to also provide optometry scholarships for students who have an interest in eyecare mission work.

Final Words:

Getting back to business… The ones who attend speaking events, hear the new teaching/principle/technique… then say, that may have worked for them but it wouldn’t work in our business… they are the ones that FAIL.

The ones that say, “is it possible that this applies to me”, are the ones that will succeed. If we go through life in that mindset, we will be dramatically more successful, we will be a sponge, and we are going to be fulfilled as well. We are going to be changing and evolving all the time, that’s a wonderful thing!

Marcus’ challenge to you, the listener, is to always go with that mindset that “Is It Possible That This Applies to Me” and he promises that great results will occur!

Profit First Accounting and Paying Yourself:

This episode is about stepping out of your comfort zone and flipping your finances and accounting on its head. In business we have been following the same formula for generations, Sales-Expenses=Profit. This means profit comes last, which ultimately means you come last. It is time to flip that formula and enjoy your profit now with today’s co-host. Mike Michalowicz is the author of the book Profit First, a book that I have mentioned many times on LIVETHEFUEL. Mike has launched three multi-million dollar businesses and sold the second to a Fortune 500 company. Mike is also the author of three other great books, The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, The Pumpkin Plan and the most resent Surge. This is a great episode for anyone who wants to have a little more financial freedom in their life/business.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”03:45″] What book should I be reading now? The answer, what is your biggest challenge right now? You will then find the right book to read.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:23″] Where the book, Profit First came from. Mike had start a lot of different businesses and lost a lot of money. Building those companies was not profitable, he was surviving check by check. He sold two companies and one to a fortune 500 company. He thought this was the way to make money and became an angel investor to try and repeat the process but he lost money fast. This was the necessary wake up call he needed. The mentality of being profitable one day in the future is wrong. The classic accounting formula of Sales – Expenses = Profit, which means your profit comes last, is archaic.
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:46″] Afraid of change. Mike has literally flipped the accounting formula and put Profit First. It’s the pay yourself first system for your business.
• [spp-timestamp time=”15:07″] Parkinson’s Law: As the supply of the availability increases, our demand for it increases, but as it decreases we become more frugal, innovative and use less of it. Mike uses a cookie to describe Parkinson’s Law. When we force ourselves to use less money in our business our behavior changes.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:35″] “Money to brains ratio” and “Keeping up with the Jones’s”. The 401K. When you first adapt to Profit First, it can be painful to begin with. Very quickly, when you see those profits stacking up, it makes it all worth while.
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:24″] Dividing up your income into different accounts.
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:46″] If you don’t know what you are doing, get help. There is no shame in asking. Scott is visiting Profit First HQ.
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:38″] Profit First Professionals: Experts that maximize companies profits permanently.
• [spp-timestamp time=”37:01″] Profit First Professionals launched 2 years ago. Profit First Professionals came from people who had read the book but wanted help implementing it and someone to hold them accountable for it. Now they have 160+ bookkeepers and accountants supporting it.
• [spp-timestamp time=”38:11″] 99% of Accountants that have come across Profit First have converted to the philosophy. The ones that don’t are the ones that are not willing to change the way they do things. Profit First accountants apply logic and overlay that with behaviors. A lot of accountants just can not make that leap.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:08″] Some people want to go all in when they read Profit First and set aside huge percentages but that’s like putting a frozen mug into a hot oven, eventually it will shatter. One of the important steps of Profit First is to take small steps.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:42″] Taking small incremental steps and relating accounting to the fitness world. Profit First is a Dial not a Switch.
• [spp-timestamp time=”45:18″] Quarterly Distributions.
• [spp-timestamp time=”47:02″] When the profit comes out, it is for you to experience financial freedom. This is not to be used to reinvest in your business, that’s a whole different envelope aka account. If you are putting it back into the business you are defeating the system. If you cannot pay your expenses, you cannot afford your expenses, so you have to find a better way.

Fat… Understand It, Know It, Beat It:

Knowledge is power and a lot of us certainly have not been educated when it comes to understanding Fat. On this episode, we talk with Dr. Sylvia Tara. Sylvia holds a PhD in biochemistry from the University of California at San Diego and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She was a consultant with McKinsey & Company and has worked at some of the world’s largest biotechnology companies. She lives in the Los Angeles, California area. Sylvia is now the author of The Secret Life of Fat. The book brings together years of research to reveal its’ true identity… as an endocrine organ. The right amount, is critical to our health.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”02:17″] What got Dr. Sylvia into Biochemistry and more specifically into Fat
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:06″] We think of this as excess calories from overeating which triggers it to be stored for later use. We have too much and we must get it off right away. We actually need to stop living the “Low Fat’s” lifestyle and get back to Healthy Fats. It is actually an endocrine organ, meaning it is producing hormones that are releasing into our bloodstream. Our bodies depend on those hormones for so many things. These cells keep our immune system, along with our bones strong. Even our brain size is linked to healthy fats.
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:54″] The hormone that your fat produces and distributes is called Adiponectin. It helps guide it back to your fat tissue through your blood stream. It helps clear the blood of Triglycerides and also toxins.
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:41″] Visceral fats, Nutritional Cleansing, fasting and sending your organs on vacation
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:53″] Intermittent fasting
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:34″] What is a calorie
• [spp-timestamp time=”19:43″] Know your fat and understand it
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:44″] Fat is an obsession, it’s a dirty word. The four letter word “Diet”
• [spp-timestamp time=”24:50″] Position on liposuction
• [spp-timestamp time=”25:58″] We are all born with a certain amount of stable fat cells.
• [spp-timestamp time=”26:45″] Obesity. Our bodies are good at adapting to the environment. Our stem cells can even create fat cells in the absence of food.
• [spp-timestamp time=”28:16″] You are not just shrinking a reserve of calories, you are shrinking an organ. Leptin is a hormone that your fat cells produce. It’s the “Master Hormone” That Regulates Body Weight and is tied to a lot of your major organs including your brain.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:16″] #NSNG
• [spp-timestamp time=”35:10″] Human Growth Hormone. The body creates it’s own HGH, Dr. Sylvia shares examples of when it is naturally produced.
• [spp-timestamp time=”37:06″] The benefits of fasting, detoxing and your body cleaning itself out
• [spp-timestamp time=”37:48″] The Grain Brain
• [spp-timestamp time=”39:50″] Understanding your body vs diets
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:34″] Looking to lose 10lb’s in the next 24 hours. A free give away on Dr. Sylvia’s website
• [spp-timestamp time=”43:06″] Take the time to understand what this is and what it actually does for your body. Weight loss is really hard. There is not a quick fix, it’s about a new lifestyle.
• [spp-timestamp time=”44:33″] Using chocolate as a reward during a fasting period.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:22″] Willpower. It’s like a battery, you have to put in the reps to keep it charged.
• [spp-timestamp time=”48:07″] A traditional MD or the average everyday Doctor does not know anything about nutrition.
• [spp-timestamp time=”52:24″] There is no cookie cutter solution. We are all different.
• [spp-timestamp time=”53:42″] Your ab’s are not made in the gym, they are made in the kitchen
• [spp-timestamp time=”57:02″] Put in the reps, hone your craft
• [spp-timestamp time=”58:30″] Kristy Jo Hunt. Throwing out the scales. Using archaic BMI readings

Empower yourself. Fat control may seem elusive, and it might seem like you have tried things but failed. The more you know, the more you can manage your fat. Knowledge is power. Fat is not what you think it is. It’s not just a reserve of excess calories. It’s not something you have to get rid of at all costs. You can have fat and be healthy. More importantly, you have to understand your fat. You have to understand it is an organ. It’s not just sitting there. You have to know how to work with it and not against it if you’re really want to manage your fat.

Fish Out of Water Co-Host:

Our Fish Out of Water co-host today is a Best-selling Author, Keynote Speaker, Social Media Entrepreneur and contributor to multiple online blogs. Finding your, ‘Why’ is not enough. Sometimes you need that something extra to push you over the edge. You have to keep fueling the fire to keep it alive. You don’t want to get ten years down the road and find the fire has been extinguished. Proving the impossible is possible is this episodes co-host.

At the beginning of 2015, he quit his corporate job, moved to California and began to reinvent himself. He wondered what life would be like in ten years if he didn’t fuel the fire of entrepreneurship inside of him. Not liking what he saw, Calvin Wayman pursued self-development and attended the “THRIVE: Make Money Matter” event in 2015. This changed his life forever. He has achieved quite a lot in the past year reinventing himself. He is now the founder & CEO at CobbesMedia, Author of Fish Out of Water, Writer at Social Media Examiner, The Huffington Post and at Entrepreneur Magazine. Reinvention never stops.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”02:01″] Calvin quit his job in early 2015 and attended Thrive later that year. Thrive gave Calvin a massive boost. He was finally around people like himself.
• [spp-timestamp time=”03:50″] Calvin met somebody at Thrive who told him how to write for Entrepreneur Magazine. At the time of the Thrive event in 2015 the only thing he felt he had to offer was his knowledge on the live platform Periscope. He bagged his first client at the event, Tai Lopez who decided to buy his course.
• [spp-timestamp time=”04:45″] The guy he met about Entrepreneur magazine was called Jeff Woods,
• [spp-timestamp time=”05:44″] The first article he submitted to Entrepreneur Mag was about Periscope and it was rejected. After that Calvin thought, editors don’t want to read the whole article, they don’t have time to. So he decided to create an article pitch of the just the title and four super simple bullet points. Instead of just sending one, he sent three at once so they could pick which one they wanted.
• [spp-timestamp time=”07:44″] Because he had already written for Entrepreneur Magazine Calvin found it easy to get into Huffington Post. He emailed them linking to his articles.
• [spp-timestamp time=”08:28″] Social Media Examiner was the tough one to write for. They have a very strict entrance process. You have to send in three articles from three other places you have written for. It has to be around the topic you want to write about.
• [spp-timestamp time=”09:28″] Calvin is from Utah. To shake up the norm he quit his day job and moved to Southern California and started to sell solar energy door to door, to shake off any feeling of being an employee that he might of developed. A mentor told him if you can do four months of Door to Door you probably can do pretty much anything.
• [spp-timestamp time=”11:38″] Door to Door sales for him was one of the most gut wrenching, anxious, depressive things he has ever done in his entire life but he would not change it for anything because it taught him so much.
• [spp-timestamp time=”12:38″] The Quarter Life Crisis. Calvin projected himself ten years into the future and thought, what if nothing has changed? And it scared him. He had this flame inside of him to go create something. But what if that flame inside of him dies, the wants and desires to be an entrepreneur dies.
• [spp-timestamp time=”16:36″] What can you do to keep fueling the fire? Do you. Do what makes you happy. But never regret. You only regret the things you don’t do.
• [spp-timestamp time=”18:58″] At this turning point, Calvin was married, had a one year old son and had $33k in debt.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:04″] Advice to the younger generations
• [spp-timestamp time=”27:48″] Selling Eggs as kids
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:44″] You can’t beat learning hard work
• [spp-timestamp time=”32:40″] We are giving different directions in life, it is easier to choose the easier path.
• [spp-timestamp time=”33:48″] The Fish Out Of Water. Finding your ‘Why’ isn’t enough. There isn’t a shortage of Goal’s being set, they is however a shortage of Goal’s being met. Creating a new normal
• [spp-timestamp time=”39:51″] Running a Ultra Marathon and Taking imperfect action.
• [spp-timestamp time=”42:31″] Getting schooled. Using the Fish metaphor. Getting around other people swimming in the same direction.
• [spp-timestamp time=”46:02″] Hit a wall at the 26 mile mark
• [spp-timestamp time=”54:49″] No permission needed.
• [spp-timestamp time=”57:21″] Embrace the road blocks
• [spp-timestamp time=”58:58″] Events have been one of the biggest hacks for him in the past year.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:03:31″] We all have to start somewhere. We all have our own circles of influence
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:06:27″] Calvin’s event in San Diego December 10th and 11th
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:06:54″] Take action and start building a following. You have to put in the reps to hone the message and services you provide. You need to be taking action but also you need to be patient with yourself as well.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:12:18 “] Feel grateful of the successes you aspire to be.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:13:08″] Caleb Maddox was the trigger for Calvin to start writing his book. Caleb wrote his first book when he was twelve.
• [spp-timestamp time=”01:15:44″] The Four C’s to Social Media Success

Final Words

You have got to realize you can create Roger Banister effects in all areas of your life.

Roger Bannister in 1954 was the first guy to run a four minute mile. For decades people tried to run a four minute mile but ultimately failed. It became well accepted that no human being could ever run a four minute mile. But then one person, Roger Banister did it. He made the impossible possible. The interesting part is, how long did his record breaking four minute mile last? Logic would say this could not be repeated. It took 46 days for it to be broken.

Once people see that it is possible, and that it can be done they can believe they can do it for themselves.

Done is better than perfect. Just do something.
