Your Big Dreams Need A Big Plan: Adulting Your Dream From Vague to Visible

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0500

n this episode, I share the real story behind finally pressing record while traveling through Laos and Asia — from timid first takes to slowly finding my voice after filming five cafés in a single day. But the bigger breakthrough didn’t happen in front of the camera. It happened when I came home and faced the overwhelm of not knowing what to do next.

That’s when I realized: action gets you started, but structure keeps you going.

We talk about perfection paralysis, the hidden cost of “winging it,” and why planning — something I used to resist — might be the missing link between your goals and your results.

If there’s something you’ve been sitting on for years… something you say you’re going to do “someday”… this episode is your invitation to stop wishing and start building.

Because you are worthy of your wildest goals — but they deserve more than hope.

How do you live a full life? It might not be about the big milestones you’re waiting for—it’s actually about the small, daily moments that bring you joy. In this episode, we dive into the idea that life isn't just about those big trips or grand achievements. While those are wonderful, the true secret to a happy life is finding ways to enjoy the everyday journey.

How can you savor the ordinary moments and turn them into something special?

Let’s explore how to capture those little sparks of inspiration, take small steps that keep your inner flame alive, and infuse your mind with joy before the big things even arrive. Because at the end of the day, life is happening now—minute by minute, second by second. Bring joy into your day, every day, and watch how your life transforms.

It’s Not All Sunshine: What to Do When Life Gets Hard and You’re Off Your Game

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Living a passionate life doesn’t mean living without problems. It means choosing, again and again, to focus on what lights you up, to hold onto your vision even when things feel heavy, and to stay the course when life throws you off track. Because it will. But passion isn’t about perfection, it’s about resilience.

In this episode, I open up about a real struggle I was facing today, one that left me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and uncertain. But instead of staying in that place, I found my way through it. And I want to help you do the same.

Whether you’re in a low moment now or just want tools for when life inevitably gets hard, you’ll walk away with 6 powerful strategies to shift your energy, reconnect to your purpose, and move forward—even when it feels impossible.

You'll be reminded that:

Everyone struggles (you’re not alone)
You don’t have to wait to feel good to take action

Let this episode be a reminder: You’re stronger than you think. And your dream is still worth it.

You start off with a burst of energy, full of excitement about something you wan, —but before long, life creeps in, and you forget what even lit you up in the first place. There’s a reason this happens, and it’s quietly robbing you of joy, fulfillment, and momentum.

But what if there was a simple 3-step method to not only hold on to your inspiration—but actually amplify it? To stay connected to your desires and experience the emotion of having them before they arrive? This is the law of attraction in motion and chances are, you’ve already used it successfully without even realizing it.

In this episode, we’ll walk through a powerful framework to:

Capture inspiration the moment it strikes
Take immediate action (even if small) to build momentum
Visually and emotionally connect to your goal daily

Before we begin, think of a goal you’ve achieved that you’re proud of.

What inspired me to pursue it in the first place?
Did I act right away, or did I hesitate?
How often did I revisit that vision, and how clearly did I see myself in it?

Your answers hold the clues to creating repeatable success. And now that you have the formula, you can use it to bring anything to life.

Tune in and discover how to reignite your motivation, stay aligned with your desires, and become the kind of person who finishes what they start, joyfully.

Before The Finish Line: 3 Tips To Persevere In Your Dreams

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Most people give up right before their breakthrough, not because they can't do it, but because they lose sight of why they started, aren't taking action, or set unrealistic expectations about the journey. In this episode, we dive into the mindset required to persevere when progress feels slow, hard, or uncertain.

If you’re working toward something meaningful and feeling the weight of the process, ask yourself:

Do you know exactly what you want?
Are you reconnecting with that vision daily?
Are you taking consistent, aligned action?
Are you being honest about the time, effort, and struggle it will take to get there?

When you’re clear on your goal, move towards it with action, and are realistic about the obstacles, you’ll be far more resilient when challenges arise, because you expected them. In this episode, I’ll share a personal story and reveal the truth behind what it really takes to bring a dream to life.

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 06:00:00 -0400

The Confidence Key: How to Regain Confidence and Advance Your Dreams

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 06:00:00 -0400

What if confidence wasn’t something you were born with, but something you could build anytime you wanted? In this episode I'll unpacks the three foundational levers that create true confidence: deservingness, dreams, and decisiveness. We'll explore how failing to integrate your wins, staying stuck in old patterns, or avoiding bold action can quietly erode your self-belief, even if everything looks “successful” from the outside.

You’ll learn:

Why acknowledging your progress is critical to lasting confidence
How to stay connected to a compelling future vision—even during setbacks
Why big results start with small, consistent action (not just motivation)

By the end, you’ll be able to identify which of the three keys you're missing, and how to reconnect with the confidence that already lives within you.

Rewiring Fear: How to Identify Fear and Step Into Courage

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 06:00:00 -0400

When was the last time you did something you were afraid of, even if it was something small?

Most people think that a courageous act has to be big, when in fact it is the complete opposite. Courage shows up in the small moments that require us to step into our fears. In this episode, we break down what courage really looks like in daily life. It’s not always a grand act or a massive leap, often, it’s the subtle moments where your body tenses, your mind resists, and something inside you whispers, “Do it anyway.”

Through stories of confronting uncomfortable conversations, setting boundaries with friends, and even walking up to a stranger at a party, you’ll discover how recognizing the feeling of fear is your cue to act, not retreat. These aren’t just stories; they’re invitations. Because when you learn to respond to those moments with boldness, everything begins to change: your confidence, your opportunities, your relationships.

You’ll walk away with a simple but powerful tool, the 3-second rule, that helps bypass overthinking and shift into motion.

Ask yourself:

Where in your day do you feel hesitation or resistance?
What would change if you met that moment with courageous action?
Could one brave move today shift the course of your week?

This episode will help you start hearing those inner calls and finally answer them.

Bad Day, Good Life: Rediscover Joy in the Everyday

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 11:00:00 -0400

Have you been so caught up in your day-to-day that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to live your day, not just get through it?

In this episode, we explore just it is to let stress and routine distort your perspective, making a hard day feel like a hard life. But what if the truth is, everything is actually okay… you're just zoomed in too far?

In this episode I'll share my own story of nearly hitting a breaking point, then finding surprising peace, not by fixing anything, but by stepping out of the cycle. One impulsive decision to chase a sunset led to perspective, presence, and the perfect Shanghainese dumplings. It’s a reminder that a bad day doesn't equate to a bad life, that zooming out gives perspective to life's stressors, and that life’s magic moments rarely show up in your planner.

Questions to ask yourself:

Are you zooming in on your life's problems?
If you zoom out and look at the big picture, how is your life really? What really matters?
What can you do to invite more of the "feeling of aliveness" into your day?

Capturing The Magic Moments: Break Routine and Wake Up to Life

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0400

When was the last time you allowed yourself to follow an exciting impulse? Maybe it was stopping at that café you always pass, taking the long way home, or booking the trip you’ve been talking about for years. What if you made space for more of those moments? How much more alive, present, and energized would you feel each day?

In this episode, I share how ignoring a simple desire—like stopping at a neighborhood pizzeria—and nearly talking myself out of booking a trip to Sri Lanka and Laos revealed a bigger truth: routines can quietly lock us into autopilot. And when we break them, even briefly, life opens up.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to:

Spot the moments when you’re drifting through your day without awareness
Act on the unexpected impulses that bring more joy and meaning into your life
Use simple rituals (like coffee) to re-center and create intentional connection

When you put these into practice, you’ll feel more present, more fulfilled, and more in control of the direction your life is going—without having to overhaul your entire routine.

Life’s magic isn’t in waiting for “someday.” It’s in the moments you choose to embrace today.

What’s Really Stopping You? - The Fear Beneath the Excuses and Why It’s Time to Move Anyway

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Today invite yourself to look past the surface-level excuses we all use—“I don’t have the time,” “It’s too expensive,” “I’m not ready”—and explore what’s really stopping you from chasing the life you want.

Through a story about a dream job at Starbucks and a conversation with a friend stuck in indecision, Donny uncovers a universal truth: the real barrier is rarely logistics—it’s fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of failing. Fear of stepping into something unfamiliar.

But what if you didn’t wait for permission? What if you started creating what you want now?

This episode will help you:

Recognize when fear is disguised as a “valid reason”
See your excuses for what they are: stories you can rewrite
Remember that if you want it, you’re meant to do it

Reflect on this:
– What story are you telling yourself about why you can’t start?
– What if the first step is easier than you think?
– What will it cost you to keep waiting?

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 16:00:00 -0400

Are you living your day—or just surviving it?

In this episode of One Life, Donny Raus invites you to pause and take a real inventory of your life. As summer winds down, so many of us find ourselves overwhelmed, overextended, and stuck in routines that no longer serve us. Donny shares his own recent spiral into stress—and how a simple act of awareness became the catalyst for profound change.

You’ll hear how burnout creeps in when we ignore our needs, skip self-care, and suppress the small joys that bring us alive. But more importantly, you’ll discover how to reclaim your energy and presence by making three intentional shifts:

Bringing awareness to your emotional state
Blocking time for self-care and fun
Planning something big that gives you something to look forward to

This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about feeling more—in your day, your relationships, and your sense of purpose.

Reflect on this:
– Where are you running on empty?
– What rituals or joys have you been postponing?
– What’s one simple thing you can do this week to reconnect?

Let's explore how the unexpected detours in life—those frustrating, off-script moments—may actually hold the key to more joy, presence, and growth than we realize.

After reflecting on a conversation with his friend Diego and a past travel experience in Montenegro, Donny unpacks how his mindset while traveling—open, curious, and flexible—was drastically different from the rigidity he sometimes felt at home. So what changed? Not the circumstances… just the story he told himself about them.

You’ll hear how shifting your perspective can transform your day, your mood, and your impact on the people around you. And you'll be reminded that the same flexibility that makes travel feel like an adventure can be applied to your everyday life—if you choose it.

By the end, you’ll ask yourself:
– How do I react when things don’t go as planned?
– What story am I telling myself—and is it helping me grow?
– What would change if I approached today like an adventure?

Slowing Down to Speed Up - Overcome The Pressure to Be There Already

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0400

We often put pressure on ourselves to "be there already"—to have figured it all out, to be further along, to have everything perfect yesterday.

Through a heartfelt conversation with a friend and a behind-the-scenes look at his espresso blending journey, Donny unpacks how internal frustration isn’t always about the task at hand—it’s often rooted in a deeper fear: that time is slipping by and we’re not where we thought we’d be.

You’ll hear how rushing through goals, skipping the rituals that ground you, and placing unrealistic timelines only drain your energy—and how reclaiming your peace, presence, and process can help you move forward with clarity and joy.

Whether you’re building something big or navigating the everyday, this episode will invite you to:

Reconnect with the purpose behind your goals
Shift from pressure to presence
Give yourself permission to enjoy the process
And take just one small step today

Ask yourself:
– Where am I making progress but still feeling stuck?
– What could change if I stopped rushing and started trusting?
– How can I bring more joy into my daily routine—starting now?

It’s Not About the Thing: How Hidden Frustration Reveals What's Really Going On

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 09:00:00 -0400

Sometimes what feels like overwhelm from a project, a person, or a technical glitch is really something deeper: the tension between where you are and where you thought you'd be by now.

In this episode, Donny Raus shares a raw and honest moment behind the scenes—struggling to build an online funnel, battling tech issues, and feeling like things should have happened already. But what started as venting about broken platforms turned into a moment of personal clarity: the frustration wasn’t about the task—it was about the timeline, the pressure, and the dream of freedom that still felt out of reach.

You’ll hear how a night of yoga, tacos, and good conversation led to powerful insights about values, commitment, and the importance of locking into your vision—even when momentum fades.

Before you write off your stress as “just a bad day,” ask yourself:
– What do I really want right now?
– Is the frustration about what’s happening—or what I expected?
– What bold action will move me closer to the life I desire?

You only get one life. Make sure you’re living your version of it.

The Power of Stopping: The Only Way to Invite Peace Into Your Day

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 06:00:00 -0400

When was the last time you truly stopped?
Not just paused for a breath—but dropped everything, tuned into your body, and asked: How am I really feeling right now?

In this episode, you’ll explore why stopping feels so hard, what resistance looks like in the moment, and how your mind fights to keep you in old patterns. Drawing wisdom from Walden by Thoreau, Donny reminds us that what we truly need is far less than we think—and joy lives on the other side of simplicity.

This is your invitation to remember what matters, and to begin designing a life rooted in presence, clarity, and peace.

Ask yourself:

How do I really feel when I wake up each day?
What small act could bring me joy today?
And what would change if I just allowed myself to stop?

Leaning Into Fear: A New Relationship With the Voice That Stops You

Wed, 28 May 2025 06:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we explore the invisible force that often shapes our choices without us realizing: fear. Not the kind that keeps you safe, but the kind that quietly convinces you to shrink — to stay small, delay action, or play it safe. What if fear isn’t the enemy, but your relationship to it is?

We’ll uncover how fear shows up in our lives, not as a signal to stop, but as a signpost pointing to growth. You'll hear reflections that invite you to question: Where have you bumped up against fear and stopped short? What belief did you form about yourself in that moment? And more importantly, what new possibilities could open up if you chose a different meaning?

If fear wasn’t in the way, what would you do? Who would you become?

Let this episode guide you to challenge the story you've been telling yourself. You’ll leave with clarity, questions to sit with, and a renewed sense of what’s truly possible when you stop seeing fear as a wall — and start seeing it as a door.

Trapped by Success: Reclaiming Time, Joy, and Purpose in a World Obsessed with More

Mon, 26 May 2025 06:00:00 -0400

In this thought-provoking episode, Donny Raus unpacks a powerful conversation with a fellow entrepreneur who, despite his outward success, revealed a life quietly slipping by—long days, little freedom, and even less joy. It sparked a deeper reflection: What does success really mean if it costs you your time, energy, and aliveness?

Through personal insights and hard-earned wisdom, Donny challenges the belief that hustle is the only path to prosperity. He guides you to explore your own definition of success, clarify what you value most, and assess whether your lifestyle supports it—or contradicts it.

This episode isn’t just about breaking free from overwork or rethinking money—it’s about reclaiming your life with intention, joy, and the courage to choose differently.

Take a moment to reflect:
– What does success look like for you—not the world?
– What values are non-negotiable in your life?
– And what might you need to let go of to live in alignment?

Because you only get one life—make sure it’s one you want to live.

Guiding Values - Live Life Using Your Own Internal Compass

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0400

"Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way." -Stephen Covey
It is your values which bring you back to who you really are. Do you remember who you really are? Are you living by your own set of values/guiding principles? In this podcast we'll take a look at exactly that and how you may need to upgrade some of your values to become who it is you want to be. Corrections will likely be made along the way, but the outcome is the truest you.

Question to ponder:

What do you currently value?
If I were to ask your friends what you value most, what would they say?
Look at the two lists, are there any that are overlapping?
Imagine you're at the end of your life and you've lived the life of your dreams. What have been the guiding values for your life?
What are the similarities between the 3 lists? What are the differences? What changes do you need to make to align yourself with your values?

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

What is that you say you want? Do the actions you take speak your priorities? I believe that one of the main reasons people fall short in creating the life they want, is that they allow the vision for their life to fade, like a photograph sitting in the sun for too long. One thing you must remember is that emotion creates emotion and the only way to consciously create is to flood your life with reminders of who you really want and what it is you want to create. In this episode we'll bring consciousness to some of the patterns you may be unaware of, as well as, create a system to acquaint you with those desires and emotions you want on a daily basis, so that you can move forward in the direction of your dreams.

Instead of growth, we experience a shrinking of our zone of comfort, that is until we're given the opportunity to again act in faith and take the leap.

Manifesting the life we want starts with taking control of our focus and putting it towards what we want to create. Put your energy there and you will have no other choice, but to move int its direction, because where emotions go, energy flows.

Questions to ponder:

Look at the different areas of your life, what role have you been playing?
What stories have you been telling yourself?
What are the thoughts and beliefs you have about this area?
What experiences are those thoughts bringing on?
What are the things that you do want in your life?
What are the thoughts/beliefs someone with this outcome has?

Consistent Results - The Key to Accomplishment

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 15:00:00 -0400

Everything you want in life requires consistency and discipline. We've all exemplified both of these characteristics for certain areas of our life and have dropped the ball in others. The key to becoming more consistent is to bring awareness to the force behind the drop off. Plus, it helps to have some trusting friends to hold you accountable.

Questions to ponder:

Think of an accomplishment that you're proud of. What consistent actions were required for you to achieve this?
What is an goal you have where you are getting in consistent results? How consistent have you been in showing up/doing what needs to be done?
What is the thought patterns that throw you off kilter?
Who do you trust that can hold you accountable while reminding you of your truth and what you're really after?

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 06:00:00 -0400

What have you been avoiding? How do you distract yourself in your day from the decisions you know you must make? Some people spend their lives distraction, jumping between coping mechanisms, never really addressing emotional wisdom trying to surface. While these distractions may feel good in the moment, they come at the cost of your long term happiness. What if the only way out was through? While it may be scary to confront the very thing you've been avoiding, wouldn't it be worth the momentary pain, in order to finally be free?

What have you been avoiding? What feelings have you been trying to cover up?
What is the change that the emotion is telling you to make?
Imagine you made the change/decision, what would the possibilities would become available in your life/what would open up?

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 06:00:00 -0400

It's common practice to label something good or bad, but what if the worst day of your life was actually the best? What if things were just as the are, without assigning any meaning to it?

List 3 experiences in the past, which at the time were difficult, but looking back, they don’t carry the same emotional. Charge.

Everything worthwhile has a cost. However, sometimes you can miss forest for the trees.

Live the Sweet Life - A European State of Mind

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Is it possible to live "la dolce vita" without leaving your local geography? During my coffee deliveries today I had a serendipitous encounter with two guys, one from France and another from Poland who were complaining about American quality of life.

Runaway Home - Following Your Path

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 17:00:00 -0400

When we hold on to an outcome, we often stifle it out of existence. Not only that, but the experience of it is not pleasurable, because there's always this undertow of worry surrounding it.

Emotional Temperature - Creating a New Emotional Norm

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Life is emotion and so if we want to live an emotionally rich life, it is important to know the set point of our emotional thermostats, so that we can increase the good vibes. Finding your set point sounds straight forward, but might not always be that easy. Once you've distinguished where you are, you can design a strategy for where you want to go. You can't eliminate the undesirable feelings, but you can make it so that they're not taking a room in your home.

Questions to ponder:

Where is your emotional thermostat set? What are the dominant emotions you experience in a week?
Who do you surround yourself with? What emotions do they feel on average?
What kind of language do you use? Are you pessimistic? Happy for others when they succeed?
Put yourself in an environment where high vibes are the extreme. How do you feel? How do you feel after being in it for an extended period of time? Contrast can give you an idea as to where you are and time will slowly raise your bar to match those of your peers.

Drop the Facade - Back to Self

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 06:00:00 -0400

We all wear masks at some point in our lives in order to hide who we are or pretend to be who we feel we ought to be. Trying to "mold" into someone else's opinion or your own is never going to lead to a life of happiness and fulfillment. Stepping into who you really are, recognizing that who you are is good enough, that is where the source of your true power lies.

Questions to ponder:

Who is it you feel like you have to be?
What if all you had to be was who you are?

Cause and Effect - The Results of Your Life

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Give 100 - Play Full Out

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 06:00:00 -0400

What would each category of your life look like if you gave 100% to it? Said differently, what if you played full out? This could be a triggering question for some, as you may realize you have been deluding yourself. Don't feel bad if this is you. It is a good place to be in, because the truth shall set you free. What does it mean to play 100%? Does it mean putting all your energy into one endeavor, at the cost of others? No. At least that's not how I see it. You only get one life and each day is a blessing. For this reason it is important to live life, instead of putting it off for some later date when...

Questions to ponder:
List out the different areas of your life and next to each category write in the percentage you've been playing/how much you've been committed to improving that area.
Write down the results you've gotten from playing at this level.
What if you played at 100%? What would your life look like for each category?
What actions would you have to take?
How would you feel at this level?

Too Old to Travel - Choose Your Inner World

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Our beliefs dictate how we perceive the world around us. Said differently, it is our outer world that allows us to experience ourselves.

This Moment - Where Inspiration Happens

Mon, 30 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

When do you get sparks of inspiration? It is unlikely that it happens when you're focusing so hard on a project or endeavor.

Living Your One Life - Time for What Matters

Wed, 18 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Life is happening NOW. It is so easy to give in to societal pressures to have the car, buy the house, and create the perfect family, but if you listen to your heart, what is it that you really want? What really matters? If we don't take time to connect deeply to ourselves, we get stuck in the "should's " of life and before you know it, you're living a life that isn't yours. I want to save you from that pain by reacquainting you with yourself. In this episode we'll look inward to see where you are, as well as, stir those desires that make you feel alive.

Questions to ponder:

What is one thing you want (think of an experience)?

Shitty Year Reversal - Live Now, Die Later

Mon, 16 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

Our story is the narrative of our lives. We have stories for each area of our life, explaining why we have or don't have the results we want, as well as, why things are the way they are. The bread and butter is that we are the authors of our story. While it may seem like "Pollyanna" and that you're only focusing on the positive and not acknowledging your feelings, it is quite the contrary. it is extremely important to acknowledge what we're feeling, so long as we don't make our selves the victim. The intention here is to feel what you're feeling, while also realizing that there are two sides to the coin. While it may be challenging to find the counter weight, it is always there.

Questions to ponder:

Think of a challenging time in your life where it seems like there is not good to come from it. What is the story you've been telling yourself?
What else could it mean? What has this experience brought into your life (empathy, a career, journey into self love)?
Imagine someone in a high emotional state (like being in love or one of 100% self esteem). How might they interpret the event?

More Life in Your Years - The Secret to Living Longer

Wed, 11 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

What is the secret to living longer? The first answer is likely to come to mind is exercise and a healthy diet, but what if I told you that the way to add more years to your life was to add more life to your years? When we set a goal that excites and fills us with emotional juice, it gives us access to our "life" reserves, while simultaneously opening the reservoir for more of that precious life energy to flow in. Simplistic in theory, it can be challenging in practice, because there are cultural beliefs in your subconscious that may be aging you prematurely. In this podcast we'll cover a few of them and how changing just one can drastically change your entire outlook on life.

Questions to ponder:

How old am I and what do I believe about my age? What do I believe about getting older?
How has this belief affected my goals and what I want to experience?
What if you were 10 years younger? How would that affect your psychology?
What goals would you strive for?

Do or Do Not - The Truth About Goals

Mon, 09 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

It is never about "doing", but rather how committed are you to the thing you say you want. When you "try" to do something, what you're really saying is, "I have is to leave an escape route, so that in the event things don't work out, you can say you put forth a valiant effort. However, when you consciously choose what you want and commit to its achievement, you move forward with resolve, cutting yourself off any other outcomes other than the result you're after. So, how committed are you to the things you say you want?

Feeling Good - The Meaning of Life

Tue, 03 May 2022 06:00:00 -0400

I believe that the meaning of life is to feel good. Think about it... Why do you do the things you do? Isn't it to feel a certain way? This can get a little messy when the result we're after requires us to step through some pain in the process. When this happens, it is important to remember with vivid detail why you're going after the thing in the first place, as well as, that you get to decide how you'll enjoy the ride. Let's face it, embarking on a journey, only to enjoy the arrival doesn't sound too smart, especially if it requires a decade of your life. Hence, we want to make sure we get what we want, while enjoying the ride.

Miracle Morning BS - Find Your Morning Groove

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0400

When we set goals, we must first ask a very important question, "what do I want to feel?" The difference in your answer will determine the appropriate path to follow.

Prime Your Engine

Something to Die For

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Is there a cause that you would be willing to stake your life on for its attainment? There is a tremendous amount of passion and drive that comes with identifying such a cause, but that only comes with a worthy goal. What is purpose? It doesn't have involve saving the world, but can be something as simple as having an experience that you dreamed about since you were a little child. This is your life and you get to decide what what you want and what's important to you. So, what do you want?

Time for What Matters

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0400

If you don't give conscious time to the things that matter most to you, then you don't have much of a life. It is easy to get distracted by the demands of work, family friends and ourselves, but when you realize that it is this frantic mindset of "not enough time" that is robbing you of your quality of life, you'll take time to enjoy the moments that matter. Life is emotion. If you want to have a quality life, you must have quality emotions and quality emotions start with deciding what's important to you.

New and Scary

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Attempting something you've never done before, you can sometimes feel scared, focusing your energies on what could go wrong. What if there were no wrong? What if you could bypass those feelings to the feeling of accomplishment. How do you think that might effect how you approach the task? In this episode we'll discuss a real word coffee experience I had and what it can teach you about life.

People Experience

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

People are the cornerstone of every great experience. Today, most people are so distracted by what's going on on their phones, that they're missing out on life. Said differently, they're missing out on the connection with those around them. If you can only realize how important human interaction is to each peak experience you have, you'd pay more attention to the people around you and the relationships you're building.

What Does it Mean?

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

We are the meaning makers and at any given moment, we get to decide what the events in our lives mean. The problem arises when you let the process go unchecked, forgetting that you're on autopilot and accept the meaning you've created as true. The later can damage your relationship, ruin your business, and wreak havoc on your self confidence. How do you override the computer? With one simple repetitive question...

Inspired People

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

If you want to get inspired, get around inspired people. When you're alone, you second guess what your want and your ability to bring it to fruition. When you're around a group of people who are all aiming to improve themselves, you get lifted up (if you're in the right group), because you are all aiming for bigger and better things and all experiencing the growth to get there. The game changer is that you have people who have been where you are and see the true potential that you sometimes can't even see for yourself.

Climbing Out

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How do you lift yourself out of the metaphoric dark hole and back into the light? When you're feeling down, you can only attract that which is aligned with your level of feeling. As a result, the only way to take better is to align with your intended outcome and the feelings of it. Doing so and really feeling the emotion, will give you new options and a lifeline out.

Finding Time

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What if we could add 10min - 2 hrs back to your day? How would you spend that time? I read a quote that said, "you don't need more time. You need more focus." Where do you put your time? In this episode we'll uncover the areas where you "lose" time, so that you can become aware and take it back, putting that new found time to the areas that will bring you fulfillment. We are all equal in time. It is how we spend that time that gives us the results we want in life.

Awakened Desires

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Awaken your desires and you'll reawaken to life. The sole purpose of life is to feel good. It is to go after the things we desire. When was the last time you looked at your list of desires? Perhaps it's been so long, they you can't even remember or they've (your desires) have lost their positive charge. Regardless, the exercise here will bring those things to the forefront and as a result, will reawaken the feelings of desire and passion to move forward with them.

Guides For Your Goals

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

The intention of this episode is to identify who those are, as well as, make you aware of their characteristics, so that you could be an "angel" for someone else.

More Than A Feeling

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How do you attract something in our life that you desire? It's no secret. In fact, you practice this exact methodology every single day, but just aren't aware of it. Wouldn't it be great to knowhow to flip things around when they "seem" to be going against you? Once you understand how it is done, you'll become a conscious creator.

Over The Edge

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

If you want to live a life of passion and fulfillment, then you must learn to appreciate the view from the edge, because it is here that life happens.

My Morning Routine

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Frustrated with your morning routine? It isn't your fault. Most people are trying to impelemnt a cookie cutter routine that isn't right for them.

Object of Desire

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0400

You have the power to create whatever outcome you want in your life. It all comes own to where you put your emotions and what you're focusing on.

In this episode you'll uncover a simple methodology to you can implement today to put you in the right set of emotions, so that you can go on to create it in the world.

Self Sabotage

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 06:00:00 -0400

We all have and will continue to have encounters with the self sabotager. It is a fact of life, because as we grow and push out against our comfort zone, the survival mechanism wants to shrink back to where things are certain and comfortable. The point of this episode is to make you aware of when the self sabotager is present, so that you can identify him/her and take action in spite of it.

When You're Ready

The shift requires one thing, that is for you to become aware of where you're directing your focus.

Excited, Not Scared

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How do you know when to give into the fear and when to move forward despite it? There is a mechanism in you that knows the answer. All you have to do is access it and the answer is there.

What will you do once you know the truth about your fear?

Worry No More

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Is it easier to push a cart up hill or ride it down? The cart is a metaphor for all the things you set out to do in life. This could be preparing for that perfect job, the perfect trip, or even the first date. What if there were an easier way? What if you could experience peace of mind and ease in your actions? How would that change the game? The good news is that you can and it comes with asking a different question to guide the focus of your mind.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Fast Forward

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 06:00:00 -0400

You have big dreams and aspirations for life, but your day to day is spent in the trenches, feeling like for every step forward, you're taking two back. To say you're frustrated is an understatement.

Breaking Beliefs

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Where in your life are you unhappy? Do you say you want something, but came seem to make any progress towards it? The cause of this "stuckness" is likely due to conflicting beliefs. If conflicts in our beliefs are causing the problem, how do you dig yourself out? In this episode I will show you a simple framework on how to no only uncover the disempowering beliefs, but also what the new beliefs must be in order for you to make gains in the area of desire.

Are You Proud?

Mon, 23 Aug 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Are you putting off going after the things you want, because you desires someone's approval? What if their approval was at the expense of your happiness? Would it still be worth pursuing? Growing up we often do as we're told, because we want to be the "good" boy/girl. However, sometimes it is at the cost of our wellbeing. Is that the case for you? In this episode I share a story from my own life, so you can see that the only person's permission you need to seek, is your own.

If It Fits, Wear It

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How do you know if something is right for your life? How do you know if the people around you moving you forward or holding you back? Holding onto things that no longer serve you stunts your growth and closes you off from other possibilities in life.

Able, but Willing?

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What is it you say you want? Do you really? All of the results you want in life require two things and that is your active participation and sacrifice. In this podcast we'll get real about the things we say we want and if we're willing to do what it takes, commit to the action.

Made for Results

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

You are made for results, not simply to do "things". Every action we take has a result associated with it. You can look at the result as the task at hand or you can look at the bigger picture, the greater whole you're contributing to. The result is another word for your why. When we connect to the "why", you connect to a source of power and fulfillment that can transform even the most mundane of tasks.

Where the Grass Is Green

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Do you compare yourself with others, often wishing you were in their shoes? What if the grass were greener where you're standing? In this episode we'll discuss what happens when you focus on the wrong things, and how to live from a place of gratitude, looking at the blessings that are right in front of us. From there, anything is possible...

Desire Path

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How do we move forward in life, when we aren't completely sure of what it is we want? How do you create a new identity around your goals, when it feels so separate from who you are now? It is as easy as walking through the grass... In this episode I will share the simple and yet, powerful strategy to get clarity and realize the dreams in your heart.

Where You Want To Be

Fri, 16 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Everything you want is just beyond your comfort zone. The only way to get there is to take action and move forward, one step at a time. There is a real cost to delaying your dreams and that cost is complacency. The more you put off taking an action, the less likely you will take it in the future. In this episode I will share the experience of getting back on the metaphorical plane for the flight of your life and the small steps to put you back on course.

What's The Frequency

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

There is an internal mechanism inside each of us that whispers us to move towards what's good and protect us from what's not. The problem is that society teaches us to ignore this defense system, calling it "emotional" or "illogical". While it may be tempting to pass off responsibility to an expert, their decision will always be flawed, because the person making the decision is not you. In this episode I will share how to "feel" this advice and how it can help you avoid disaster.

Dear Former Self

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Each of us has an internal guide who is willing to give us the answer to any question we ask, so long as we do just that, ask. It is easy to fall into the trap of asking and following other people's advice on the big decisions in our life. Doing so comes at a cost, because they are not you. What if you could access a part of you who has the answers? What would you ask? In this episode I will give you a simple strategy to do just that.

Refine With Experience

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What do you want? Do you even know? The question may spark anxiety for some, but it shouldn't. In this podcast we'll explore the art of getting clarity. What if the universe was guiding you to get more clarity? What if the only thing that was required was for you to simply step out of your comfort zone and to interact with life? This episode will give you a structure for getting more clarity and it is a lot easier than you think...

How Are You Doing?

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What is your emotional home? Happy people find ways to be happy and funny people always find a way to infuse laughter. If I were to ask a friend about which reoccurring emotions you feel in a daily basis, what would they tell me? Wouldn't it be nice if we could decide which emotions we felt at any given moment? I'm here to tell you it is possible, but it starts with first become away of the state you're in, so that you can train your mind to respond differently. Tough? Yes. Worth the effort? Definitely.

To Plan or Not to Plan

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Is it better to plan or not to plan? That all depends on the situation and your willingness to be uncomfortable. Each comes with its own dark side. Taking action without planning can lead to some surprised that you didn't anticipate, while planning can set you down the path of over planning and perhaps inaction. So which is correct? Either one can be, as long as it is followed by action forward, for that is the only way you will make strides towards the life you want.

False Competition

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What if your only duty in life was to enjoy it? How would that change the way you show up each day? It is easy to get caught up in the "rat-race", but if you would only step out of this routine way of living, you'd realize life is not about that at all. You have options, but it will require you to break your routines long enough for the inspiration in insights to come to you. Do this and I promise you won't regret it.

Divorce Your Story

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

How many times would you watch a crapy movie? once? Twice? Three times? Chances are you likely wouldn't even complete the first. Then why do you re-tell the same crapy stories in your life? A story is simply the reason we give ourselves as to why we don't have the things we desires. Divorcing your story puts removes the power of the story and puts it back where it belongs, in your hands. What would a new story do for your life?

Know What You Don't Know

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

You can't experience anything outside of your awareness. Said differently, if you want to grow and expand, you need to put yourself out in the real world. This means talking to people, being open to new experiences, and getting out of those patterns that have you living in a groundhog day. Your goals and desires also require you to become aware of what you don't know. What you'll find here is that by taking small, bite size steps, you will create momentum moving into the ever long process of learning.

Clock is Ticking

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Each of us has an internal clock this is ticking. When it stops, will you have done everything you wanted in this life? Age serves us as a reminder that our time is temporary and that if there are things that we want to do, we must make good on them now, because time waits for no man. What would you regret having not done in this life? The impact of doing the thing is greater than you could ever imagine...

Walk in Faith

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Life will always give you exactly what you need, but it requires your participation. It requires action. Faith is the cure all for inaction, because with it, you're willing to do things that once seemed impossible, trusting that you're being guided and that life is happening for you. If you're feeling stuck, this episode will help you gain momentum, as you will uncover the next steps to move your towards your outcome.

Interview With Shiraz Baboo

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

The only thing preventing you from getting what you want is the story you tell yourself as to why you cant have it... What are the limiting stories you tell yourself as to why you can't have the life you desire? In this podcast story expert Shiraz Baboo will explain how to become aware of stories in your life, how they've shaped you thus far, and how it is us that gets to choose what the story will be going forward. The key is awareness. What will you create with a new story?

Story Stop

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right. Our stories are like a spell that we cast over ourselves. They're picked up from our environments and their validity often go unquestioned. What if there were a way to not only become aware of the stories you tell yourself, to awaken from the slumber? What kind of impact would that have on your life? Sometimes it requires nothing more than observing the thought happening and realizing that the very fact that you're observing it means you're separate from it.

Predicting The Future

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

The best way to predict the future is to create it. If you're like many people who wonder why life isn't going their way, you need look no further than your own focus. With infinite possibilities open to us, where do you put your focus? Do you focus on what could go wrong or do you focus on being excited about the opportunities and possibilities of everything going write. Whichever you focus on will give you a very different experience in life. In this episode I share an experience while in Miami, Florida and the awareness it gave me on how to create my reality.

Demand Change

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Nothing changes without a demand first being placed on it. This is especially true as it relates to the desires you have for your life. Action is the catalyst that gets the wheels turning, ultimately moving you towards a new demand (action) to be taken towards its realization. Everything you want is in the unknown, but if you follow the breadcrumbs, as explained in this episode, you'll eventually find your way to the. very thing you want.

A Town Called Nowhere

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

If you keep putting off your dreams, you will eventually look back, realizing that the time has passed and you may no longer have the time, health, or finances to do the things you wanted to do. The road of "someday" ultimately leads to a life of regret. What are the things you've been putting off? What are those experiences that you know would bring you so much joy and would enrich your life? In this episode we'll get you acquainted with your life's desires and ultimately the realization that now is the time to make good on them.

Course Correct

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

What if failure is the only way forward? Culturally we avoid the "F" word, but the truth of the matter is that we fail on a daily basis. The only time we fear it, is when we give the failure a false meaning, rather than seeing it for what it is, feedback to take a new step forward. There's always something to be gained in every unsuccessful attempt. Realizing this is what allows you to make advances and achieve your outcome. In this episode we'll talk about what it looks like to fail "smart".

Refine with Experience

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 09:00:00 -0400

How do you get clear about what in life? Answering this question might make leave a lot of people tense with anxiety. However, I'm here to tell you that the answer is a lot easier than you think and can be summed up in two words: Experience and feeling. New experiences give us distinctions with regard to our preferences. These distinctions drive future decisions and the process continues...

Diving Deeper

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Variety is the spice of life, but sometimes one negative experience can close you off to a life of magic. This happens when we create blanket beliefs such as, I didn't enjoy _____ and therefore I will not enjoy any _____. It's like saying you had a bad flying experience and therefore hate all traveling. It sounds stupid and yet our lives are filled with unquestioned beliefs such as this. It is by uncovering these biases that we open the doors to new possibilities and new experiences of life.

No Way, but Forward

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 06:00:00 -0400

When you can't turn back, the only option left is to move forward. It is important to remember that you're never at the mercy of our circumstances. You always have a choice. You have a choice to say yes or no, to continue or change course. Fear can be stifling, preventing you from taking the necessary next steps in relationship/business/life. However, once you recognize that it is only fear holding you back and you take action despite it, the world opens up to you.

False Competition

Mon, 31 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Pursuing success at the cost of your wellbeing is the ultimate failure. When you're in the trenches, it is very difficult to pop your head above ground. If you could, you'd likely realize the battle is over and that you're at war with yourself. Imagine stepping out of the "rat race". If you didn't have to compete, how would your experience of life change? With an extra couple of hours in your day, who would you spend time with? What would you build?

While, Not When

Mon, 31 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

So many people make their happiness and well being conditional, saying, "I'll do this when..." I find great fault in this approach. It is like telling your dog you refuse to feed it, until it learns to give you its paw and roll over. You wouldn't do that in a million years... Then why do you do it to yourself? By allowing ourselves to do the things we know will bring joy into our lives, we invite even more great things to make their way. Let's not forget the simple fact that not a single one of us knows what tomorrow will bring, so why wait?

Ease Your Gaze

Fri, 28 May 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Are you striving to achieve a result, but find yourself hitting a wall, unable to make any progress? What if I told you that the best way to break through that wall, was to relax into it? Focusing too hard on an outcome can have the opposite effect, preventing you from seeing the path that would otherwise seem obvious. Releasing your resistance also makes the process more enjoyable and who doesn't want to enjoy more of life?

Feet First

Wed, 26 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

In order to achieve any worthwhile goal, you must step beyond our current comfort zone. The easiest way to make these strides, without it being terrifying, is to break the journey down into small do-able steps. Doing so builds our confidence and compounds the results, as we move closer and closer to our end goal. Regardless of how insignificant the step is, it is still a step forward and a progression in your desire.

Source of Confidence

Mon, 24 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

What is the source of confidence? When asked by a friend how I was able to show up consistently, week after week, to record this podcast, I had really break down my motivations for creating. While our reasons may differ, the framework for confidence is the same from person to person. I believe that the source of confidence lies in the art of doing. In this podcast we'll break down the steps, so that you can identify and action the goal your seeking confidence on.

Meet The Jonses

Fri, 21 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

As social creatures, the desire to belong is embedded deep within our psyche. As a result we adopt (most of the time unconsciously) the behaviors, beliefs, and goals of those around us. Look at your life as it stands now. Which areas have you consciously designed? Which have you taken on by default. In this podcast I show how breaking through the internal conflict and following your heart is the only way to move forward and claim your One Life.

In Between Lines

Wed, 19 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

At our very core we are makers of meaning. Conscious or not, we apply meaning to all the events of our life, as well as, to words. Each word carries its own energetic vibration, given to it by you, the creator of your own life. Why does this matter? Because words are the core of our identity, they are what we use to describe ourselves and our aspirations. This can cause internal conflict, as you avoid stepping into a role which goes against how you identify yourself. Once you're aware of these trigger words and the self imposed meaning, you now possess the power to influence and change your life.

Me First

Mon, 17 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Do you wake up in anticipation at the day ahead or are you anxious, living in reaction? If the latter, then it is very likely that you're putting other people's demands above of your own needs. A life worth living, is a life worth planning. Carving out time for yourself to plan the day ahead (the evening before), is one of the greatest acts of self love you can give yourself. It sets the stakes in the ground, by identifying how you want to live and that which is important to you.

Becoming

Fri, 14 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Self comparison is the fasting spreading pandemic today, effecting everything from your self confidence to your health and happiness. While it may appear that others are making massive strides, leaving you in the dust, I'd like to offer you a different perspective. What if you were exactly where you needed to be at this point in your journey? Your journey is independent of everyone else, for the reason that no two experiences are the same and no two people start the place. Understanding this truth will erase comparison, release tension, and restore faith.

At The Edge

Wed, 12 May 2021 06:00:00 -0400

There are two motivators in life, pain and pleasure. Most people don't change until they're forced. Resisting change is a very painful process. Wouldn't it be nice if you could bypass the pain and go right to the very thing you want? Doing so requires you to get better acquainted with your desires, rather than your fears. This episode I share the story of Michael, a former bonds trader who contemplated suicide, before making a drastic lifestyle change, as well as, questions to guide you on your journey.

Burn Your Boat

Mon, 10 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

You want to be/do/achieve great things, but sometimes you're your own worse enemy. One of the reasons people fail to achieve their goals, is because they leave themselves a "way out". When you "burn your boats", leaving no way to escape, you will take the metaphorical island. In times like these, courage and faith are your best friends. In this episode I tell the story of one restauranteur who decided to start a bar, restaurant, and cafe, all at the same time and with no prior operating experience. Crazy? Perhaps. Impossible? Not for the person who is truly committed. Commit with 100% of your being and you will take the island.

Baby Steps

Mon, 03 May 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Let's face it. Change can be scary. This is particularly true when the object of desire seems insurmountable. In times like this, it is helpful to remember two things. First, we all start at different places and as a result, our journeys will also be different. Some will be longer and some will be shorter. Secondly, the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. As long as you're moving forward, leaning into the discomfort (no matter how small the steps may seem), you'll eventually arrive at your destination. In this episode I share one woman's journey to move from New York City to Miami, during one of the most challenging times in her life, the winter covid lockdown. No matter how small the step, each action opens up a new world of possibility.

Feel The Difference

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

I believe that there is a part of us that has the answer to every question we dare to ask, that is if we can quiet our minds long enough to get the answer... How can we gain access this all knowing part of ourself? The ability will require you to get out of your head and into your heart. Sound challenging? Don't worry... There is a short cut. Similar to trusting your "gut", one of the best indicators that a decision is right, is the feeling you get from it. One of my favorite quotes is, "if it isn't a hell's yes, it is a hell's no." In order to fully engage in this decision making process, you got to feel the other options. By doing so, you allow yourself to feel the contrasts of each decision, and thus, make a decision.

Committed Friends

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Change an be pretty scary, even if it is moving towards something you say you want. The reason being that it forces you to do take new action/to do something you haven't done before. Said differently, it requires you to step into the unknown. This pull back is one of the many faces of self sabotage. If it is our natural tendency to resist change, how can we double down, ensuring that we move forward towards the thing we want? The answer is accountability. In this episode I tell the story of my decision to visit Puerto Rico and how friends held me accountable, when I was ready to back out.

Life Is Happening for You

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

What if everything in life was happening for you, instead of to you? How would that impact your life? The only difference between something "good" or "bad", is the meaning you give it. Want to know the best part? You are are the meaning maker! Adopting the belief that life is happening for you, is like putting on a pair of yellow colored glasses. Whether it is cloudy or raining, it always appears that the sun is shining. As a result, you start looking for the positive experiences that each circumstance/situation brings.

Flavors of Life

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 09:00:00 -0400

Are you at a challenging moment in your life? If so, rather than resist it, I want to invite you to instead celebrate it. There is the misconception that growth is linear line and that everything is supposed to flow perfectly. What if we did away with this belief all together? What if the challenges were there to give you a greater sense of clarity, to help you grow, to help you appreciate even more all the beauty that is life? How would you look at the setbacks then? These are the lessons I learned from a plate of dipping sauces and chicken scraps...

Real Wealth

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

What is real wealth? How will you know when you've achieved it? Will you be happy? In the western world, especially in America, we tend to attach a monetary value to the word wealth, but is it true? In a speech I gave at my best friends wedding, I had him breakdown his model of what it means to be wealthy, coming away with the realization that he was the richest man in the world. My hope is by the end of this podcast you will also redefine what it means to be wealth, so that you can start creating a life that is aligned with your values.

Walk The Line

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

We create our personal realities with our thoughts and our focus. When you understand this simple and yet, complex concept, you'll understand that you're the creator of your reality. In this episode I recap a conversation I had with a homeless man at a bus stop and the gifts he gave me in the form his personal story. Those lessons are a reminder that we are the authors of our lives and that there is a fine line between where he and I stand.

Their Plans

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0400

if you don't have a plan for your life, someone else does. Not having a "plan" means you'll get swayed wherever the wind blow. Not how you want to live, especially if you want to create a life of passion and excitement. Then how do we check in to make sure we don't get sucked into someone else's plans? Easy, you get clear on your own and evaluate every decision as to how it aligns with it. Doing so will give you focus and excitement, as you see yourself making massive progress towards your outcomes.

In the Unexpected

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Life happens outside your comfort zone. I am going to take it one step further and add, "outside your habitual patterns". Habits are good, until they aren't. They turn bad when they cut us off from new experiences. You wouldn't plan a vacation, only to look forward to your return home, would you? Never! So why do you do that with your day? Your life is composed of your days. Open up to the possibilities within it and you open up to a new experience of life.

Routine Scrambler

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 09:00:00 -0500

If you've ever traveled for an extended period of time, you know it could be hard establishing the routines to get you productive in your day. The beauty of having your routines "scrambled", is you get to re-establish your routines, letting go of the things that didn't add value to your life. When facing this challenge, it helps to first establish a keystone routine. This is the routine that will impact and influence every action you take thereafter. For me, that is waking up early for sunrise. What is it for you? Even if you're not relocating, the steps in this podcast will help you establish your daily routines.

Breaking Through

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

We've all beat ourselves up for not behaving a "certain way", but what if the excessive behavior was actually a way of realigning? What I want you to realize is that engaging in negative self talk doesn't fix a behavior, it reinforces it. When you allow yourself to go through the motions, you naturally realign or hit a breaking point, where the only option left is to correct.

Who's Life Is It Anyway?

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Who's vision for your life are you living? When you awake in the morning are you filled with emotions of excitement or dread? It is so easy to get caught in the habitual patterns of day-to-day living, falling prey to the "should's" of society. However, if you take a moment to check in, being brutally honest with yourself, you may realize that you've veered off the path. Congratulations! Now that you're aware, you can self correct. A passionate life doesn't happen by chance. It must be seized, each and every day.

Anxiety

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Anxiety is the byproduct of fear and uncertainty. When feeling anxious, what are triggers leading you to feel this emotion? One of the things that helps is sharing your feelings with friends. Doing so not only releases the "pressure", but also allows us to realize we're not alone and that there may be fault in our thinking. In this episode I share a strategy on how to deconstruct and transform your anxiety, so that you can start on the upward trend of feeling good!

Blank Check

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Time... Time is our most valuable resource and each of us have been given equal. The problem is that few people consciously decide how they want to spend it. As a result, they forfeit their rights, and as a result, allowing others to spend it for them. A passionate life doesn't happen by chance. It is a choice and must be seized! It starts with first understanding why you're playing the game...

Cozy Prison

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Are you choosing a sub-par experience of life, because you're more worried about the thing you'll be giving up, rather than what you'll gain? If so, you may be stuck in a cozy prison. Before you can get out of the cell, there are a few questions we must first address... The answers are your "key" to the cell. Once armed, you must decide, will you serve a life sentence or will you step out to your freedom?

What I Like

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

What do you like? Do you even know? Sometimes when we spend so much time with our heads in the sand (a metaphor for work), when we come up for air, we have a hard time remembering what exactly it is we did for enjoyment. In today's podcast I address that very question from a friend of mine, giving a framework to start to rediscovering life and what brings her joy.

Transcending Trauma

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

We all experience trauma at some point in our lives. Sometimes, that trauma can hold us captive, preventing us from moving forward in our lives. It is almost as if it has us preserved in amber. Luckily for us, these traumas can be transformed, but only when we decide to let the skeletons out of the closet. Doing so allows us to shine a bright light on them, so that we can reframe and give them a new meaning. It is the new meaning that opens our lives to new opportunities, allowing us to see past previous limitations that seemed cement walls only moments earlier. Are you willing unpack your closet?

Living Now

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 09:00:00 -0500

What are the promises you made to yourself, that you keep putting off? What are the lies you tell yourself, that prevent you from taking action towards the life of your dreams? We tend to think that we have all the time in the world to do the things we want to do, when the truth is that our time is finite and that we're not guaranteed a single moment outside of now. The time to make good on those dreams is now. So what do you want? If you haven't given much thought to it, perhaps it's time you do. While you're at it, here are a few examples to make you realize that there is not time like present to start making moves.

Past Meets Present

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Do you ever get triggered by people, whom you don't even know? If so, as it was with me, you may be projecting your past onto your present. This is done with people, situations, experiences, and even things. When we understand that the mind is just a memory bank of past experiences, we can go back to find the "record" that is triggering this response within us. Doing so gives us more emotional elasticity and opens us up to the unfolding experience.

Intentions With Intention

Mon, 21 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Whatever we do, there's a reason for it. We just may not be conscious if it. There is tremendous power in setting an intention before you perform a task. Doing so acquaints you with that which what you want, while also presenting you with a map on how to get it. While setting intentions is good, if we're not careful, we may actually do ourselves some harm. It could be as harmless as taking that last drink while at the bar with friends or choosing to keep the peace at the expense of our own self confidence. The key to overcome this is to set even higher intentions. By doing so, we respond in a way that is good for us, others, and spirit.

Victim to Hero

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Life is full of experiences, many of which are beyond our control. With that said, things aren't always going to go that way. When that is the case, we get to choose one of two options: we can play the victim of our story or we can play the hero. Could it be that easy? Yes. In this episode I will show you that theres a fine line separating the two. It is up to you to choose the more empowering meaning.

Worse By Comparison

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 09:00:00 -0500

If we want to live full, rich, happy lives, there's one thing we must avoid at all costs and that is the act of comparison. You may have heard the saying, "comparison is the thief of joy", that is because each time we compare ourselves or what we have, we are turning a blind eye to the blessings in our life, choosing to instead focus on what we believe to be lacking. If we would only take a step back, we may find out that the grass is sometimes greener right where we're standing. Are you doing something, that at one point, was only a dream? Perhaps, now that it is in your life, you're taking it for granted? Sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to remember how lucky we truly are.

Writing On The Wall

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Show me a person's room and book case and I will tell you about the person. Each day we're being primed by things like the news, social media, and even our loved ones. This priming impacts how we respond to our the world and our days. What if we could set ourselves up to feel good and go after our goals, without any conscious effort. If you did that at the beginning of each day, what kind of affect would it have on your interactions? Your work? How you feel about the future? Here are some tips to make the transition from overwhelm to inspired!

Permission to Succeed

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

What would you go for, if you knew that by doing so, you would inspire those around you? Sometimes we hold ourselves back because we fear separation, we fear loosing connection and love. What if that was only a story in your head? What if by doing so, you would actually inspire those around you to reach for new heights? The were my thoughts, that was until I saw effect my actions had on others. Then it changed...

Small Things, Big Impact

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Who do you want to become? An importantly question that we seldom ask ourselves. Once you've got the answer to that, what goals can you set that will take you to/develop you into the person you wish to become? So many people, including yours truly, set goals and take action without every really pausing to look ahead and ask, "where will this take me?" Aware of this, we get to take actions that will move us forward and faster, because the small actions we take will be in alignment who who we want to become. What goals will you set for yourself this year?

Finding Why

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Your "WHY" is the driving force behind every action. It is so powerful, that millions of people spend their entire lives lives searching for it, failing to realize it was under their noses the entire time. Everything we do has a why. Said differently, everything we do has a purpose. The reason so many are unaware of this controlling force, is that they've been unconscious in choosing it. Something magical happens when we consciously choose our purpose. Instead of haphazardly moving through life, we become deliberate creators and as a result, more fulfilled.

Break The Spell

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 06:00:00 -0500

What if I told you that you were under a spell. Don't worry, you're not the only one. We are all under a spell, many in fact. These spells are the beliefs we hold and stories we tell ourselves, which shape our daily experiences and ultimately our lives. However, not all spells are created equally... Some spells are constructive and others destructive. The only way to experience more of life is to become aware of these destructive lies, so that we can release ourselves from their power and fully step into the light of truth. How does one identify these destructive spells? Listen to find out...

Inspired Action

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 06:00:00 -0400

What if you could identify the emotional state where all decisions flow from alignment? What I'm referring to is inspired action. Inspired actions are the impulsive actions that result from an inspired state. These actions come from a place of abundance, excitement, and possibility, as opposed to fear, uncertainty, and scarcity. They have the ability to catapult you faster and further towards the life you dream of and as a result, must be seized when they arise. In this episode I will share examples of inspired action, so that you can identify and act on them when they show up in your own life.

Fire, Ready, Aim

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 06:00:00 -0400

Ever get stuck in indecision, unsure of which action to take? What if I told you that regardless of the action, the one you choose it's the right action. How could this be? The reason it is so, is because the moment we decide, we create forward momentum. Right or wrong, the one thing decisive action gives us is contrast. "Do I like where this has taken me or do I want to change?" This contrast is like a cybernetic device, allowing you to fine tune the next action going forward. The process repeats itself, providing even more clarity, until you reach your final destination, your end goal. How would adopting this concept impact the way you lived life?

Path of Least Resistance

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What if you can have everything you desire without the struggle? I believe that very often we set goals for our life, while also adopting a rigid framework as to how to get it. The problem having preconceived notion as to how things need to unfold, is that it doesn't allow us to see the shortcuts that will get us there faster. It's important to note that the path of least resistance that first presents itself, isn't necessarily the correct path. There are times in our life where we'll have to setup framework in order for this to work and others, where we're called to abandon everything we know, surrendering to the forces that want to bring us to our desires with ease. Either way, the end result is one of flow and progress. What is one thing in your life that you've been resisting? What would happen if you gave into that resistance?

Words of Encouragement

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0400

How does it feel when you receive a heart felt compliment from someone? Good doesn't it? Now imagine how they feel as a result of receiving one. One of the byproducts of giving such a compliment is that it causes us to take a step back, acknowledging the journey up until this point. Not only that, but both parties benefit, because it feels good to make others feel good! The key take away is that what you give, comes back to you. If you're looking to deepen relationships or advance in your career, one of the quickest ways to get there is to acknowledge someone else's journey, as it gives you permission to do the same.

Living Contradiction

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Do you ever say you want something, but then partake in actions that are contrary to what you're trying to achieve? If this is you, don't beat yourself up over it... We all do it and for different reasons. Sometimes life just throws too much at you and as a result, you take the path of least resistance, veering off course. Or perhaps, you never slowed down long enough to question some of the habits playing out in your life and how they were effecting it. In this episode I'll share how a GAP analysis exposed my contradictions, as well as, the framework to identify them in your own life.

Overnight Success

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Do you beat yourself up over a goal you've yet to achieve? What if it was the journey that you were after the entire time, not the goal? A worthy goal is one that forces us to grow in order to attain it. As a result, it was never about the goal in the first place, but rather who we become in the process. In this episode, I tell the story of a friend of mine who was being very hard on himself for not making the progress he wanted. Because of his overly aggressive expectations, he failed to recognize just how far he's come in only a few years. Each of us are on a journey that is unique to ourselves. What's important is that we not set expectations, but rather trust the process as it unfolds in front of us.

True North

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What do you want out of life? At first, you may say that you''re not really sure, but I know if you check in with your heart and ask, you'll get everything you're looking for. The next question then becomes, what are you doing today and is it aligned with what you want to do/be/experience? I believe for many, the answer is no. I know for myself, that I was taking actions and doing things not because I wanted them, but because other expected them of me. If we're going to take control and live passionate lives, we must first be honest with ourselves and ask, "what do I really want?" In this episode you'll find the questions to uncover why you're doing what you're doing, as well as, the very thing keeping you from getting what you want.

You Suck At Storytelling

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

If we want to change our lives, we must start first with with our story. This is not the story we tell others, but rather the story we tell ourselves as to why we don't have what we want. Why is this important? Because language is powerful and our story puts is in a state of hypnosis. As long as we keep repeating the disempowering story, it will continue to envelop us in its enchanting power. What is a story really? It is the reason we tell ourselves as to why we don't have what we want, placing the blame outside ourselves. What we fail to realize is that instead of protecting us, they are harming and stealing the joy from our lives that we so desperately desire. What's the best way to break this spell? Easy... Divorce the story, marry the truth, and tell a new story, one that empowers and moves you towards what you want. Do this a few times and you'll feel a difference. Continue and you'll make the difference.

Preparing For The Journey

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What if before setting out on a journey, you knew the challenges you would encounter along the way. Would this increase or decrease your chances of success? I believe that some of the reasons we we fail to achieve our goals is that we don't have a strategy on how to overcome the struggles we encounter along the way, as well as, a framework to remind us of what we were after in the first place. The good news is that both of these are in your control, but they require you to think differently, by asking a new questions. Doing so will align you with your desire and give you the strength to push through the uncomfortable times.

We Are All The Same

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What feels better, when you feel empathy towards a person or when you feel division? The answer is obvious... We feel better and more alive when we feel connected to those around us. Separation causes suffering. If the truth is so obvious, why then do we choose to divide rather than unite? Even when we know intellectually that we're all equal, there may be an unconscious belief you picked up form TV, your family, or your faith that is keeping you from feeling this connection. In this episode learn how experiences shift your beliefs, as well as, a simplistic framework to change how you show up, by first connecting with your higher self.

Interview With Sonia Cruz Oro

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

So you say you want to travel more? How committed are you? Did you know that the longer you put it off, the less likely you'll travel in the future? In this episode Sonia shares what "trips" most people up in their desire to see the world, as well as, practical solutions to overcome them. At the age of 35, equipped with a strong desire to see the world, Sonia packed her bags and left her home country! Talk about breaking routines and getting out of your comfort zone. Here's the takeaway... If she did it, you can too. Here's how... Enjoy!

Building On Success

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Ever wonder why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer (you can replace "rich" with happy, passionate, lucky, or any other word you'd like)? The reason is that YOU CAN ONLY BUILD ON SUCCESS. This means looking at our day and celebrating the little victories, such as brushing your teeth, having a good conversation with a friend, taking a step towards a goal you want to achieve. It may sound overly simplistic, but that's because it is. Most people do this exact process, but instead of focusing on their successes, the focus on their failures. Where do you think that will lead you? In this podcast we'll explore a the success cycle and how you can incorporate this powerful ritual into your day.

Accepting Failure

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 11:00:00 -0400

What if there was no such thing as failure? What decisions would you make? What would you create? What if failure was a gift to get you to your goal faster? If you beat yourself up over past "failures", then this episode will shift you perspective. The truth is that failure is our ally.

In this episode are analogies and stories that will help you realize this truth and see it at work in your own life. Once you realize the failure is your friend, you'll be unstoppable and life will become a game.

True Identity

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Identity is the primary driver behind everything we do, but where does it come from? How is it formed? Is what we believe about ourselves true? Everything in your live right now is the result of the identity you hold for yourself. If you're body's not the way you want it or you're struggling financially, it's because you've made this part of your identity, perhaps unconsciously... If we want transform our lives we must first create a new identity, one that formed with conviction that THIS IS WHO I AM. Once we've made who we want to become as part of our identity, then we will follow up with the actions to make it so. With that I ask, who do you want to become?

Interview With Suzanne Longstreet

Thu, 06 Aug 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Why do we have uncomfortable emotions? How can we shift our emotions, so that instead of going in the direction of what we don't want, we're actively driving towards that in which we do? In my interview with Suzanne Longstreet, master NLP and hypnotherapist, she addresses how we develop these emotions, tools to figure out what's really feeding them, and how to make the psychological shift towards what we want. Why is it so important to get a hold on our emotions? Because LIFE IS EMOTION! As a result, the quality of your emotions determine the quality of your life.

If Not Now, Then When?

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0400

How much time do you take in your day to do the things that bring you joy? If not much, what are you waiting for? Life is happening now. If you're an achiever, you likely push, push, and push, postponing happiness for some future point in time when you have the money, time, or relationship you want. I'm here to tell you that you're living a lie. That may be triggering to you, but here's the truth. If you don't allow your the simple pleasures of feeling good now, what makes you think you'll do it at some point in the future? Allowing ourselves to feel good is a pattern that needs to be exercised for no apparent reason other than to just feel good. Realize this and you'll realize that you don't need the thing to be happy, you can do that all on your own. When you do reach that goal, the victory will be that much sweeter, because you would have enjoyed the entire process.

Two Roads To Self Love

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 10:00:00 -0400

Want to love yourself more? Here are two roads that I've found to lead you to that same destination. When we're critical of others, we are more likely than not, even more critical of ourselves. The reason being that we've been conditioned to believe that there's something wrong with us if we don't be/have/look like ___________. Relax.... There's nothing wrong with you. This is nothing, but a condition pattern. We have the ability to change that and it all starts with one new thing: a question. Change isn't always easy, but it is always possible. Do one or both of the suggested practice and I promise it will transform how you feel about others and more importantly, yourself.

Are Your Needs The Source of Your Suffering?

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:00:00 -0400

We all have the same 6 human needs. The only difference is where each ranks in importance and how how they are met. Could your top needs be the source of your pain and suffering? In this episode I will share with you the needs and how they ranked in my life, so that YOU can identify yours and see whether or not they're the source of your pain. I invite you to join the One Life with Donny Raus Patreon page. Here you can download the weekly Podcast sheets to identify your human needs and understand what needs to shift, so that you can move forward in living your One Life. https://www.patreon.com/donnyraus

Lead By Example

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 13:00:00 -0400

Do you have a relationship that needs repair, but hasn't, because you're waiting for the other person to apologize? Sometimes we get so caught up in being right, that we forget our real outcome, which is to restore the relationship to back to normal or perhaps, even better than before. An interaction with my 5yr old nephew taught me the lesson that sometimes we need to put our ego aside and be the first to forgive.

Path To Joy

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 09:00:00 -0400

You want to transform your life? "Pushing through" on pure will power will not get you there. If you want to achieve great things, there is one thing you must first conquer and that is your state. The mental state you're in determines the actions you're willing to take. A crapy state translates into crapy action. A great state translates into great action. Catch my drift? The question then become, how do we ensure we are in a great state? Easy... All you have to do is think or do something that you know will put you in a great mood. For it is looking at pictures of travel and walking in nature. What can you do to put you in a great state?

Lost In Translation

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Have you ever had someone hurt you, only to realize that you were completely wrong in how you interpreted the experience? This happens often when we leave our minds unchecked. In a conversation I had with my friend Tanti, I realized just how easy it is for us to misinterpret what's actually being said. Have you had a relationship fall out that might be the result of a misunderstanding? The solution is to seek greater clarity and rather than fill in the blanks of the story with our past experiences, ask questions to arrive at the truth.

Follow Happiness - Interview with Paul Samuel Dolman

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 11:00:00 -0400

Paul Samuel Dolman is the friend you just met, but have known your entire life. Paul reminds us that you don't need anyone's permission to live the life you love. Only your own. In this episode Paul accounts his own journey from being a musician to getting picked up by Larry David while hitchhiking and writing a book about it. His message is simple. Trust life. Stop the distractions, quiet your mind, and listen to your heart, for this is the path of least resistance. You don't have to know the end destination, just the next step. Paul is the author of Hitchhiking with Larry David, Seven Crazy Days on Maui, as well as many others. He is also the host of the What Matters Most podcast, where he fuels his passion for people and helping others in self realization.

Every Moment's A Choice - Interview with Isaac Lidsky

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 08:00:00 -0400

Most people live their entire lives "blind" to the forces controlling it. Isaac Lidsky did, that is until he lost his eyesight. Diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at the age of 13, Isaac was completely blind by the time he turned 25. What at first seemed like a death sentence, would up being one life's greatest gifts. Going blind gave him the ability to see his life "Eyes Wide Open". What if if your setbacks were actually opportunities? What if the limiting thoughts you held about yourself were just fabrications of your mind? What happiness was a choice? Answers to this and more in my interview with New York Times best selling author of the book Eyes Wide Open, Isaac Lidsky.

Find The Dysfunction

Sun, 31 May 2020 13:00:00 -0400

When we want to get out of pain, we must first find the dysfunction causing it. In a phone call with my good friend Sadiq, we spoke about pain in the body and the habitual patterns as a result of it. He said, "pain is the body is an alarm to notify us that we're doing something wrong." This could be sitting for a too long, resulting in pain in our back/hips or a particular way we're working out. Listening, I thought to myself, isn't this true of the emotional pain as well? A lot of the time we want to change circumstances in our lives, but fail to recognize the dysfunction, that is, the part of ourselves that is complicit with it. Think about a change you want to bring in your own life. In what ways are you complicit? In what ways do you benefit form this situation not changing? Hint: If we're experiencing something that we want to change, but haven't yet, it is because we benefit in some way. Enjoy this episode and God bless!

A Year To Live (Part 2)

Mon, 25 May 2020 09:00:00 -0400

We've been programmed to think that once we land that job, buy that house, take that trip, that life will be perfect... We seek externals for validation, when the truth is that we don't need object or anyone's permission to be happy now. This moment is all we need. Surely you know people who have little and are happy. Conversely, you know people who are well off, but miserable. It isn't to say that wealth creates happy or unhappiness, but rather that it doesn't make a difference. A happy person will also find a reason to be happy and an angry person will always find a way to be angry. We don't have to wait to feel any emotion. We can feel it now by granting ourselves permission. Remember, you are enough, you've always been enough, and will always be enough...

No One Like You

Mon, 18 May 2020 09:00:00 -0400

I remember hearing Tony Robbins say that, "most people over estimate what they can accomplish in a day and underestimate what they can get done in a year". The reason is that when we think of change, we thing it has to be big and all at once. It's like going to an all you can eat buffet and trying to fill your plate with everything on your first pass. You forget that you try everything and go up as many times as you'd like. This is true of life. We look at a goal. take strides to obtain it, but give up because we've taken on more than we can handle. Success starts small and speeds up with the power of compounding returns. Let's instead aim to be .5% better each day and what what we become...

The Missing Ingredient

Mon, 11 May 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What if you could take any lemon that life threw at you and simply squeeze it into lemonade? Doing so starts with the core belief that life is happening for your and that there is no meaning to an event, other than the meaning you give it. Take a moment and let that sink in... If there is no meaning other than the meaning we give an event, then what is the event? Nothing, but feedback. When an event unfolds, our meaning maker (mind) kicks in. This mind is programmed by past events and as a result, will only give you more of those same event, because it is looking from a distorted lens. The key is to take each event and to ask a different question. "What else could this mean?" After reviewing all the possibilities and the facts of the situation, you likely find that the initial meaning you were assigning isn't the best at all... Pick the more empowering and watch as life gets sweet!

Environment Change

Mon, 04 May 2020 09:00:00 -0400

One of the most powerful influences in our lives is that of our environment. It has the power to shape our income, impact our health, and even form our identity. The reason is primal. We conform to the believes, values, and world views of others in an effort to be accepted by the group. This is not the way to a happy and fulfilling life... This paradigm doesn't favor one race, social class, or group. If we want a better life, we must become aware of the influence of those surrounding us. Only the can we make the conscious decision to distance ourselves or in some cases, cut them out completely from our lives.

The Problem With Manifesting

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

The biggest problem I have with manifesting is that few people follow up with action. In order for any "intention" to materialize, you must take imperfect action towards it. I say this because I was that person, for while a while... Truth be told, the initial action you take is likely going to be wrong, but do you know what happens as a result of that intentional, but "wrong" action? You get experiences. You make "tweeks"and follow up with a new action. This fine turning is what eventually gets us to our end destination. Sure, you can visualize and feel all warm in fuzzy inside. This is VERY, VERY important, but it MUST be followed up with action. Doing so brings new opportunities, because the only way to create our new reality is to be active in life and to do something different. Is there an outcome you want in your life, but haven't taken any action towards it? What results have you gotten? What imperfect action can you take today that would move you closer to your end result? Go do it!

Time Is Wealth - Interview with Rolf Potts, author of the book Vagabonding

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 15:21:33 -0400

What is real wealth? If you're like most people, you'll probably rattled off some absurdly high nominal value, but is that true? In this week's podcast Rolf challenges us to think differently about wealth, filtering it through the lens of travel, experience, and relationships.

We live in a world where we've hypnotized ourselves into thinking "there is never enough time". What we fail to realize is that time is the one thing we are all given equally and that every moment of our lives is a transaction, with time as the currency.

"Work, sleep, repeat... You'll enjoy life once you retire." Like so many people before him, Rolf almost bought into this belief, that is until he watched his retired grandfather care of his grandmother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. It was at this point he would make a new decision on what real wealth was and how he would spend his time.

You're A Monkey Derek

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Have you seen the movie Zoolander? More specifically, the scene where Mugatu tells Derek "you're a monkey Derek. You're a monkey". As a result, Derek starts to jump around like a monkey. How true is that of life? When we're younger, we develop personalities based on what is going to get us the love and attention from our parents (or caretaker). You've got the usual suspects... There's the over achiever, the class clown, and yours truly, the people pleaser. Some people go their entire lives, unconscious to this childhood programing. Each time we take an action that violates who we are (we know this, because it just "feels" wrong), we feed into this false identity. The solution is to become aware and to speak our truth, however uncomfortable it may feel. Only in doing so will we strengthen who we really are and claim our true identity.

Breaking Habit

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What would life be like if you just said YES? When life feels mundane and boring, it is likely because we've become too engrained in our habits. When we become too rigid with our schedules, we often crowd out the possibilities to meet new people, have new experiences, and learn new things. So if habits are the shovel that digs us in a hole, what's the golden rope that lifts us out? The answer is one word. YES. When we're asked to step out beyond our ordinary, our mind kicks in trying to predict the future and prevent us from any harm (physical or emotional). As a result, we live by the preconceptions of our past, thinking that we know what's "going to happen", when we haven't the faintest clue. Have you ever gone out against your well, only to have it turn out to be one of the best nights ever? Any idea why? Because you opened yourself up to new experiences and as a result, LIFE. Try it on for size. Next time you're invited out and it interferes with your rigid schedule, say yes. You'll be happy you did...

Lessons In A Pandemic

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:28:57 -0400

When disaster hits, we can choose to focus on the destruction or we can focus on something more empowering, such as what we can do, what's really important in life, and the generosity of others. As many of us wait this out in our homes, how we emerge is largely going to depend on where we choose to put our energy. In today's episode I share my account of how one simple interaction at a food store took me from a place of fear to one of gratitude. The same is available to you... Be safe and God bless!

A Year To Live

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What if you had a year to live? What would you prioritize? Who would you spend time with? Time gets obscured through the busyness of life. We think that we've got all the time in the world, but then something happens that brings us to the realization that time is finite. Most people start to live, only when they know they're going to die. Let's not wait that long... Let us acknowledged this truth and instead chose to intentionally live. Something beautiful happens when we live from this place. We shrug off the small stuff and get laser focused on what brings us joy. The truth is, none of us knows when it is our time, so let's live the best life we can today.

Just Different

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0400

We tend to get caught in thinking that one outcome is better than the other, when the difference is just a matter of perspective. Each moment is full of infinite possibilities and when we close ourselves off to other possibilities, we close ourselves off from the magic of that moment. I learned this lesson in one of my travels, when I allowed the fear of others to infiltrate my decision and disrupt my itinerary. Forced to make a last minute flight change, I quickly learned that there was no such thing as "better". In fact, what I received as a result of this "change" was much greater than I could have ever imagined... What would the impact be on your life if you trusted that even if you don't get what you want, things will still work out in your best interest?

Templates For Success

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0400

Success leaves clues. If we want to get results in any area of our lives, we usually don't have to look very far. If we're honest with ourselves, we've all be successful at some point in our lives, whether it be a great family, relationship, career, or our health. The The magic lies in figuring out what we did to get those results and applying that same formula to the other areas. It doesn't stop there. To achieve great results, we've got to be able to formulate new habits, learn, and make changes to our approaches. In this episode I walk through a few key take aways from my most recent physique competition and how they related to other successes I've had in life. After listening, I encourage you to do some detective work of your own. What were the key elements to achieving success in an area of your own life?

Happiness Formula

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 08:23:35 -0400

What if I told you there was a formula for happiness? You'd want to know it wouldn't you? What if I also told you that there was a formula for excitement, fulfillment, and love? Now I've got your attention. Uncovering this formula isn't as difficult as one would think. To do so we must first map out the experiences of our past that led to feeling the emotion we're after. Once we identify the triggers and key elements, we can then take the framework and apply it to any area of our lives to feel the same emotional response as the memory we evoked. Sound like fantasy? Listen and test it out for yourself. I was astounded by the results and I think you'll be too!

Measure of Greatness

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 09:00:00 -0400

What does it mean to be great and how do we measure it? The answer might not be as straight forward as you think. For many, greatness is attached to an end result, when in truth, greatness is the result of many great actions taken consistently. Greatness is a mindset, not a destination. Is it possible to be great in some areas, while struggling in others? Yes, but when we look at the focus and the actions put forth in those areas, the answer becomes clear. When we consider greatness as a mindset put into action, it is easy for anyone to be great and achieve great things, but it starts with a change in how we think...

Get Disciplined

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 06:00:00 -0500

What feelings come up when I mention the word "discipline"? I used to associate the word with lack of freedom, until I did some digging and found that it was only when I was disciplined that my life worked. Everything we want to accomplish, all those fulfilling dreams and desires, all require discipline to bring to fruition. Realize this and you won't have the same resistance to doing the tasks you know you need to do to get the outcomes you want. Listen to my story. How does my resonate with those you've had? See any patterns? Enjoy and hope it helps you have the best year of your life!

Finding Truth

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 06:00:00 -0500

Who do you say you are? Who do others say you are? What's the truth? Identity is the strongest force shaping our realities. Whether that identity is positive or not will have a huge impact on how you experience life. Where does or sense of identity come from and is it true? More often then not, we'll notice that it was shaped by our environments instead of being consciously crafted. You're already the person you want to become, you just need to accept it within yourself and condition your true identity so that it is who you show up as daily. Do that and your life will transform. Enclosed is one simple practice that feels very difficult in the beginning, but gets easier with practice. Enjoy and I hope you will step into who I already know you are.

Love Thy Self

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 06:00:00 -0500

Can you look in the mirror and honestly say I love you? In the past I had tremendous trouble doing this, but recently, the answer to that question changed. How it changed had more to do with what I observed within myself. If we want to find beauty within, where everything starts, we must first seek it. Once found we can then radiate it outward to the rest of the world. Start the process of loving yourself. Enclosed is one simple practice that can show you how. You'll be surprised by the shift that happens. I know I was...

True Reflection

Mon, 10 Feb 2020 10:28:49 -0500

We all have greatness inside each of us. The only decision on our part is to choose to recognize and activate it. Ever witness (TV or in person) someone accomplishing a great feat and feeling teary eyed afterward? Why is that? I believe one of the reasons is because we recognize the same greatness that is available to each of us. While we may not be athletes (or maybe we are), greatness comes from deciding to push beyond our own perceived limitations. Just doing it. One step at a time...

Not Waiting

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 06:00:00 -0500

Time doesn't stop for anyone, so why do we? If there is one thing my travels have taught me is that you can't wait for others to take the trip (start the new venture, make a long needed change).

If we desire something in life, we must go after it with audacity. Believe it or not, the decision to start is the hardest of all. Once you decide, you set forth a chain reaction that will unfold before you. All you have to do is decide and the hardest part is over.

All In Time

Mon, 27 Jan 2020 06:00:00 -0500

Time. It is our most valuable resource and with it we can create anything we put our focus to. Then why does it seem so difficult to push forward in our endeavors? Did you catch that? The "key" in the last sentence? The reason is so many of us "PUSH". To manipulate time, you've got to know how to leverage it, but before you can do that, you first must plan and that starts with a vision. An inspiring vision will "PULL" you towards it. Wouldn't it be nice to be pulled up the mountain rather than to have to push? Inside is simple tool you can use to start the process.

People of Influence

Tue, 21 Jan 2020 18:09:56 -0500

We've all had someone come into our lives, even if for an instant, that's change its trajectory for ever. Amazing isn't it? How such a short and sometimes chance encounter can shape who we become. Want to know the good news? This isn't some super power... While you I believe God's hand is at play, we all have the ability to positively influence the lives of those around us. Think of your own experiences. Is there someone who may have guided you down the career you're currently in? Or performed a good deed to make you spark your hope in humanity? One small action can reverberate and change the entire course of your life and history.

Answer of The Day

Tue, 14 Jan 2020 16:08:48 -0500

The answer to shaping our lives isn't somewhere out in the distance. It is in the present moment, more specifically, becoming aware of our mind and the repetition that keeps us feeling the same emotions, because unless we can change here, we're doomed to repeat it again and again. We were each born to live lives we love. The road starts today. It starts now. In this episode are 2 easy practices you can do to expose the poison hidden in your day and see the silver lining that is there, right in front of you. Enjoy.

The Year of Acceptance

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 09:00:00 -0500

Lessons will pop up when you least expect them. Here's one from my New Year's Eve in Philadelphia. I believe that most of the time when we're not getting the result that we want, it is likely that we haven't yet accepted where we currently are. The resistance for "what is" prevents us from taking steps forward, doing the small steps that are necessary to accomplishing that which we are after. What will your 2020 stand for? Pick a word and set the intention.

The Healing Mind

Mon, 30 Dec 2019 13:14:27 -0500

The mind is the strongest muscle in the human body It is the master creator of our reality and the healer of our bodies. With this power comes great responsibility. We must cultivate good thought, otherwise this great creator can become a God of destruction.

Power of Intention

Sat, 28 Dec 2019 21:09:11 -0500

Before we get what we want, we must first know what it is we are setting out for in the first place. This is the power of intention. Intention allows us to think outside of our current situation, peering through the window at the very outcome we desire. The consequence of not setting an intention? We allow ourselves to drift with whatever comes our way. The caveat is that unless we're guided by a future vision/intention, we'll default to our past experiences, for better or worse.

Keeping Score

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 15:50:02 -0500

How do you know if you’re winning the game of life? Like any professional sport, you've got to keep score. Many of us, myself included, go through life never really taking a moment to reflect on where we've been. The problem? Neglecting to recall those memories, or keep score, we tend to flounder through life blind to the magic of each day. Taking the time at the end of your day to recall the moments you're most grateful for is the best way to ensure that you'll not only go to sleep feeling good, but that life is a beautiful flow... Join me as I explain how this lesson plays out in my own life, as well as, some of the highlights of my most recent trip to Vietnam and Singapore.

Interview with Julie Reisler of The You-est You Podcast

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 09:00:00 -0500

This week's episode is an interview I did with Julie Reisler of The You-est You Podcast.

I know Julie from a entrepreneurs group I belong to and from the initial meeting I could tell she was special. Julie's purpose is to help others find their "You-est You" or as I like to refer to it, their truest truth.

In inspiration on so many levels, Julie interviewed me to get under the hood of my coffee company and the journey taken thus far, so that other aspiring entrepreneurs can and learn from my experience.

Join me as I reflect and share the success formula learned from my first physique competition as an amateur bodybuilder. After listening to the entire clip, I invite you to look at the areas of your live and to find your formula. I'm willing to bet that it isn't all that different than mine...

Steve Jobs said, we can only connect the dots lookin backward. Translated, we must trust the journey of life and that it has our best interest.

Life is happening for you. Trust it.

The answer isn't as complicated as you think and it comes with an added benefit: compounding. The more we lean into our fears, the easier it becomes to identifying and breaking through them.

I believe in imperfect action and so without any formal intro, I introduce One Life Episode 1 - The Journey
