I'm sure we've all heard the saying, "You have to risk it to get the biscuit." It's a popular quote for a reason—it rings true. To be successful in life, you can't be afraid to take risks.

DM 053 - 6 Stages of a Personal Revolution 44:19

6y ago44:19

44:19

There is a symbiotic relationship between what we do and who that work is calling us to be. For example, if you want to make a movie, you have to become the type of person that can direct, produce, write, have creative opinions, etc. etc. With this in mind, it's no wonder why it's so difficult to do something truly new. Not only do you have to actu…

DM 052 - When Less is More 30:23

6y ago30:23

30:23

We often think "more" is the best solution to our growth and development. More hours worked, more tasks to do, more books to read, more mentors to guide us, etc etc. But all this typically amounts to is a busy schedule, an even busier mind, and not a lot of traction. In this episode we propose the simple solution that "less" might actually be the s…

DM 051 - The Habit of High Performance 39:11

6y ago39:11

39:11

Performance. Stress. These are two words that don't intuitively go hand in hand. In today's increasingly more millennial westernized-society we tend to avoid stress in favor of feeling good in the moment. We can even assume the mentality that stress is entirely bad. In other words, we demonize cortisol and worship dopamine. But if we want to operat…

6+ y ago37:58

37:58

Self-preservation can be a dangerous trap. The need to prove something or to protect yourself can seriously diminish your ability to perform at your best.

6+ y ago17:53

17:53

What if what is standing between you and your dream is not actually your skills or your strategy as much as it a story? It is a story that you have told yourself about yourself and it continually sabotages you. It keeps you from showing up, opening up, and putting your most creative self out there consistently. What if your dream is demanding you t…

Through my personal journey and also through walking alongside others, I have discovered that within every individual, there is both a lion and a lamb.

When yo…

I have yet to meet a person or leader who wouldn't immediately benefit from having the fierce conversation that they have been avoiding. Most relationships and organizations live or die on their ability to regularly have healthy and/or tough conversations. These conversations are not easy and can be scary, but if done well they can heal, mend or ev…

We all have ideas about what we want for our future. When we talk about dreams, it is easy to picture our ideal results, but it is much harder to value the process. Taking the first step can seem absolutely paralyzing. Today we’re talking about an analogy that can help transform goals into action. Ready, aim, fire. Or as I like to say: dream, learn…
