Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30: Introduction

05:00: Because jackasses like me will probably want to haul ass down it and try and be a professional ski racer because I like to go fast. Well, let me tell you, you don’t want to go fast on this one.

10:00: There are all kinds of health impacts on your eyes and staring at a computer screen too long is a negative one. I’ve got three screens right here. I rock blue blocker glasses in the evening but luckily it’s still daylight outside right now.

15:00: I hinted about lung health, right, like getting outside and breathing the air. I realized, oh my god, this is the one year anniversary this week of my collapsed lung adventure.

20:00: Then in 2019 we were busy launching FUEL Foundations, my new nonprofit that the book will also benefit. It’s like all of these things are just happening and we’ve got to roll with it. But you also have to pause and slow down and appreciate it while sharing the gratitude message.

24:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Summing this whole piece of the podcast up, which is the gratitude, right, having the connections and the ability to reconnect with people and get back on the snow or on a bike or whatever, and just enjoy quality time with people. You know, besides the fact again, over all of this, we got to spend time with my wife’s parents, who are also retired and had that house out in Colorado, and it gives us a less cost reduction on our vacation planning.

The Importance of Communication Skills, Verbal, Written, Electronic, and Otherwise:

On today’s new #FUELUP Friday I share a brief New Years Eve daytime phone call that inspired an important reminder on positive communications. We reflect on the importance of great verbal, written, and electronic communication skills to help you succeed in business and in life. We also drop a fun and random slang term for rude people, known as Douche Nozzle’s, ha!

Douche Nozzle = (vulgar, slang, derogatory) A rude, obnoxious, or contemptible person.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

1. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
2. Positive Verbal communication.
3. Proof your written and electronic communication.
4. BONUS: Don’t forget to pause, take a deep breath.

00:30: Introduction

05:00: I’ve always worked through the local onsite land manager where we do trail building. Mostly we just try and keep the trails clear, you know, keep people happy. I’m a huge mountain biker, and I have no problem putting in some sweat equity. There are not many people who do this and I want to know that when I get down there, I could ride my bike and not have to worry about running into a blown down tree or storm damage. I bought all the toys, I got the chainsaws, I got the tools, I got the gear, so why not help out?!

10:00: Today’s show is really about improving communication skills. So I decided that with #FUELUP Fridays, depending on where I’m at in my mental state. As you can tell, I might have been a little frustrated by that douche nozzle. I just don’t respect people who don’t respect me. You know, I truly believe in an age-old statement that you know you should do unto others, you know, and expect the same in return. Treat people like you want to be treated.

15:00: Take a little risk and let other people in. But so many of us have this wall up preventing this. Over three and a half years now going on four years of podcasting, I can actually thank this platform for helping drop that off and break those barriers down. That’s why I want to kind of share this for today’s FUEL UP Friday.

20:00: Now the book is coming. I tried to talk about too much because but I do it because I kicked myself in the ass and we are working on it later tonight. I gotta get the editing done.

28:00: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

So our final words for today a summary of the importance of verbal communication, written communication, electronic communication. Don’t forget to pause, take a deep breath, think about it, proofread it, and then move on.

17:30: FUEL Brands are growing! FUEL Enterprises, my FUEL Marketing aka FUEL Agency, the 2019 launch of FUEL Foundations, and more!

18:30: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Somebody has to take accountability and pull themselves up with me, along with our audience, right? That’s the point of surrounding yourself with the right podcasts, the right audiobooks, the right conferences, the right inspirational people you follow on social media, etc.

If you’re constantly watching drama TV, listening to the negative news networks, standing around the water cooler if you’re at the job and listen to that person bitch and moan every single day about how their life sucks, or their wife sucks or their boyfriend sucks, etc, etc, etc. That is all, negative flow man, that’s negative energy, so cut that crap out!

Maybe you’re not ready to go to the gym yet, even though you set that goal on New Year’s Eve, right? Oh man, I said I would go New Year’s Eve. Oh well get over it. Try again tomorrow! Give yourself a break. Take a deep breath, make your lists, check them twice, and all that fun stuff.
