I Believe In YouEpisode 60: Work Your Ass OffLove what you do, and you will work EVERY day of your life.While there is truth in saying, "Love what you do and you won't work a day in your life.", it sets an unrealistic expectation on what it takes to make a dream come true.If you have a passion or a dream, you will do whatever it takes to bring that dream to fruition. That sometimes means a lack of sleep, that sometimes means pushing through when you're tired, that sometimes means losing friends that are bringing you down, and that sometimes...2023-12-1201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 59: Character Matters To Your CoachesCharacter is something that we all own individually.While the development of character is built over time and from many factors (parenting, environment, experience, who you hang out with), owning it is up to you.The easiest way to examine your own character is to ask the question, “What actions do I take when no one is looking?” Whether you like the answer or not, don’t judge yourself too heavily. Simply pivot or stay on course with the type of person you want to be. Practice makes progress.Happy Gilmore is silly, but he...2023-12-1201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 58: Lessons From The Lockerroom“Making it” as a professional is an exciting and awesome accomplishment.With that said, that’s where the real work begins.- always be professional- always be a good person- always work your ass offYou didn’t “make it” to stop now. Be the one to light up the night. I believe in you, you should too.Share this episode with someone who you think should hear it, and let others know that you believe in them when deserved. It’s a small thing we can all do to leav...2023-12-1001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 57: Mandatory Fun Isn't Doing What You Think Its DoingGroups that practice this have an incredibly higher rate of success. More importantly, they have a highly boosted state of morale. Team building is often mistaken for having a group meal or a planned, “voluntold” time to be together. In other words, “mandatory fun” We need to rethink what “team building” is. Team building should be the process of guiding your group members toward a common belief that they all share and buy into. Something that gives them purpose, community, and identity. Something that when they wake up in the morning, there is a reaso...2023-12-0901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 56: What To Do When You're Not Getting Along With Your CoachWe all go through bad seasons.They are inevitable. It's so important that when these years do happen, you see them as an opportunity for yourself to grow.If you are not getting along with a coach, take these actions:1. Try to open a line of communication. Establish trust and ask for point-blank feedback (Know where you stand)2. Analyze your behavior and ask if you are doing anything to create the rift.3. Focus on what you can control and be the best teammate and version of yourself to YOUR standards.2023-12-0901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 55: How Diversity On A Team Is Impacted By A Strong BondFor some reason this is still a touchy subject…Most people are afraid or confused by what they don’t understand. I believe one of the largest problems we have today is that lack of awareness to our own inexperience. While it is impossible to see the world through someone else’s eyes, we can discuss and have conversations to better understand how they see the world. That saying, “Knowledge is power” is very true.Today, quick judgement seems to be the default response for every situation. I wish it would be curiosity. If I don’t know...2023-12-0701 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 54: The Effect Of A Team Bond On Individual PerfomanceTeam Bonds naturally improve individual performance.One of the beautiful things about a bonded team, is the organic creation of purpose for teammates to look after and work hard for one another. Maximum performance in a team environment I not possible if a teammate isn’t giving their best for the team AND themselves.GREAT teammates make everyone around them better. GOOD teammates just do their part well. Imagine the power of ALL teammates working to be at their best and to make everyone around them better…The results are typically extremely favorable for...2023-12-0601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 53: Lean Into What Makes You UncomfortableHow do you make being uncomfortable, comfortable?It is absolutely normal to avoid discomfort and failure. That's our basic survival instincts kicking in, but there's a level beyond that we can all tap into.I learned this from watching a documentary of the Navy Seals going through hell week at BUD/S. The candidates are put through mental and physical training that push them to their absolute limit as a human. Most do not pass - but some always do. In watching this, and similar training that other branches of our military go through, I...2023-12-0601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 52: Sports Beyond PlayingLooking back, I was EXTREMELY blessed to have two great professional loves in my life in hockey and broadcasting. I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue both and, if possible, merge them together.While there were times in my career that the see-saw would tip more towards one profession than the other (or sometimes I was off the ride all together), it was all part of the journey towards where I am at today - in a place where I get to do what I love.Lean into what you love...2023-12-0401 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 51: PatiencePatience is a virtue!It’s true. The thought of being patient isn’t always easy. But what I have learned to respect is the tremendous outcomes that are gifted through patience.In my life, I have found that when I rush or drag my feet (or leave the present moment), that is when most mistakes or unfavorable outcomes tend to live. When I am patient and analyze a situation, good things tend to happen.Another interesting thing about patience that they don’t tell you is that there isn’t a time limit. B...2023-12-0301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 50: SlumpsSlumps in sport and life typically last because we aren’t asking ourselves and each other the right questions.Great questions demand great answers.Here’s a few great ones (from Coach Todd Bowles) you should take into consideration if you or someone you know is going through a slump:Do you know your job inside and out?How good do you want to be?How much did it take for you to get here?How much will you lose when you leave here?How hungry are you?I be...2023-12-0201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 49: Quick Team Bonding TipYou don't need much to create a team building exercise.Physical metaphors for team building are some of my favorite things to do when working with a team. For that reason I keep an arsenal of drills to do with my teams weekly throughout the season.More often than not, the drills seem like easy, mundane tasks that should take very little time to complete. However when you add in 20 personalties, voices, brains and abilities into the mix, it can get much harder.Working together is not easy - but knowing how to...2023-12-0101 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 48: How To Approach Being Nervous In Big MomentsNervousness is part of the game; you can train for it like most things.Emotion and sports have always been tied together. While some deal with the nerves that come in high-tension moments by burying them or shutting off their emotions altogether, I take the approach of getting very in touch with them, calling them out, and getting as present as I can in the moment.Like most anxiety, when you feel it, you are most likely stuck in a moment from the past or are stuck contemplating the future. Neither of those two places...2023-11-3001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 47: Center YourselfFor the past ten years, I have practiced being present as much as possible. I fail often! When I started doing the exercises I talk about in this video, I could barely get through two minutes without my mind wandering uncontrollably.I would get pissed at myself for not being able to stay focused.Through practice and instruction, I realized that our mind's wandering is a completely normal and human thing to do. I stopped judging myself and began to focus on noticing when my mind would wander, then gently bring myself back to the present...2023-11-2901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 46: Having A Role Is More Important Than Having A Job TitleHaving a role is more important than having a job title.I’ve seen many young people identify and obsess over the job title on their business card. With our companies & teams, we wanted to change that, so we tried something different.Unless required for an event, call, or another reason, we don’t have distinct job titles at our place of business - we have roles. Each person who works with me or plays for me has a clear understanding of our vision and mission and their role in helping to achieve that. There is a...2023-11-2901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 45: Injuries Can Teach You ThingsMy greatest sports injury taught me more about myself than any practice.It taught me that I am more than just an athlete.It taught me there are other ways to stay “in” the game other than just playing.It taught me how to overcome massive adversity.It taught me patience.It taught me resolve.It showed me how much I really do love the sport.Injuries are adversity and adversity (although sometimes painful) are opportunities. Like most sports, if you sit still, bad things will...2023-11-2701 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 44: Did You Know You Can Practice Being "In The Zone?"As athletes, we all know the feeling of “being in the zone.” But did you know this is something you can practice?“The zone” is nothing more than complete present moment awareness. You are not worried about the future or the past, but what’s right in front of you.Present moment awareness is something you can practice in your daily life through many different methods including meditation, focusing on an object, listening to music intently, or even just acknowledging your surroundings during a walk or drive.The more you practice it the more you w...2023-11-2601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 43: Are You Impatient About Your Career?Hard work creates opportunity and results, restlessness creates stress and anxiety.I used to think restlessness, or the need to find excitement in many activities, was an ally. In my 20’s, the result of this thinking was often working two full-time jobs and throwing projects on top of those to “get ahead”. Now don’t get me wrong, hard work was an asset. Those years allowed me to gain lots of experience that would come to help me down the line - but at what cost?I realized that restlessness was a problem during my down tim...2023-11-2601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 42: 3 Tips For Teams During The Holiday SeasonIt's very common for teams to go through a mid-season lull, especially if you play a winter sport. However, with that said, not many teams take action to prepare for it.If you're a coach, take the time to talk to your team about trust, communication and plans for the holiday time of year BEFORE the holidays arrive. Make them aware that "getting a little sick of each other" is normal for this time of year and we need to work through it as a team.Remember, if you aren't communicating, people are most likely...2023-11-2401 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 41: GratitudeThe probability of you being a human being is about 1 in 10 to the 2,685,000th power, or 10 followed by 2,685,000 zeros (look this up, its true).I try to start and finish each day by grounding myself in gratitude. It's an exercise that has gotten me through some extremely hard times in my life by providing some perspective of my place in the world and universe as a whole. Its a pathway to serenity.We all have something we can be grateful for - find yours and remind yourself of them daily. I believe in you, you...2023-11-2301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 40: Make A Contract With YourselfI’ve met a lot of people that want to “sign a pro contract.” The ones that succeed signed a contract with themselves years before.No piece of paper, trophy or award was ever achieved without a contract first being signed by the recipient with themself.Explore what you want to achieve, write the contact, and never compromise it. If you want it, you’ll make it happen. I believe in you, you should too.Share this episode with someone who you think should hear it, and let others know that you believe in them...2023-11-2301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 39: Growth Mindset vs Imposter SyndromeImposter syndrome is a real struggle for all of us at times. Beating it just takes a simple shift in mindset…Listen in to see what I’m talking about.I believe in you. You should too.Share this episode with someone who you think should hear it, and let others know that you believe in them when deserved. It’s a small thing we can all do to leave this place better than we found it.I believe in YOU, your friends, your family, your team, and the power of belief...2023-11-2101 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 38: The Perfect Moment is Now - Seize It and Make It HappenWe're all guilty of it at some point – waiting for that 'perfect' moment to kickstart our goals. Whether it's in sports, business, personal life decisions like having kids, or even starting a workout routine, we often wait for the right time. But here's a truth bomb: the perfect moment is right now.In my experience, both in sports and business, I've seen countless individuals delay action, waiting for ideal conditions. But here's the thing – these 'ideal' conditions are a myth. The right moment is the one you're living in. If you've got a goal or a dream you...2023-11-2001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 37: Overcoming A Victim MentalityWhen I was young, I struggled with a victim mentality. Teasing, problems, and a constant worry about others' opinions weighed heavily on me. However, a pivotal shift happened around middle school when I decided to stop worrying about these external judgments.I began to work tirelessly, focusing solely on my efforts, not fearing judgment. This change in attitude led to a profound transformation. My hard work and dedication to practice started attracting others. My peers began joining me, drawn by my commitment and perseverance. Together, we achieved remarkable things.This experience taught me a valuable...2023-11-2001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 36: You Are Not Defined By Your SportIt's a profound realization I had, one that took far too long to dawn on me: I am not defined solely by the sport I play. Yes, I choose to be involved in that sport, to play, work, and dedicate a significant part of my life to it. But it is just that - a part, not the whole.This eye-opening moment reshaped my perspective. I see many young athletes defining themselves solely by their athletic identity, saying, "I am an athlete from this sport." But that's not all who you are. In sports, so much is...2023-11-1801 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 35: Redefining Success in Life and Sports: A Lesson from Gordie Howe's CareerWhen Hockey legend Gordie Howe signed with the Detroit Red Wings, his signing bonus wasn't a check with many zeros; it was a team jacket. This anecdote resonates with my own experiences in sports and beyond. When I first joined a team, my reward, much like Howe's, was a team jacket. This jacket, which I've held onto for over a decade, is more than a piece of clothing. It's a symbol of belonging, achievement, and a significant milestone in my journey.Success isn't just about financial stability or prestigious titles. Sure, money is a necessity of life...2023-11-1701 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 34: Controlling RiskYou have to take risks if you want to succeed.The secret is that these should be calculated risks, and they are something you can practice and prepare for. Taking a risk is the equivalent of jumping off a cliff. No matter what kind of risk it is, it’s gonna be scary and there is ALWAYS a chance you might not make it. WITH THAT SAID, the key to taking risks effectively is to “prepare for the jump”.When younger, I would often leap without looking. While I made some big strides doing t...2023-11-1601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 33: Championship MomentsI don't have many trophies in my office; I have many photos of teams I have been a part of in championship moments.It's a special time, the seconds after a championship. It's the culmination of a group of people coming together to accomplish a common goal. It's a time when miracles are possible.As wonderful as it feels, it will pass. Over time I've come to realize that the process of creating those moments is as much a gift as the championship itself. The ability to compete - to strive - to drive...2023-11-1501 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 32: Blame EloquentlyTransitioning from blame to recognizing opportunities is a skill crucial in both sports and personal development. This journey from blaming to learning is about seeing challenges not just as setbacks, but as invaluable lessons.In my own life, I've encountered numerous instances where I felt wronged or deeply hurt. However, with time and reflection, I realized that these moments were, in fact, opportunities for growth and learning. When adversity hits, it's often hard to see any positive outcome, especially in the heat of the moment. But the ability to retrospectively look back, not with a finger-pointing attitude...2023-11-1401 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 31: Apply Your Passion Wherever You Need!Are you feeling pigeonholed, limiting your identity to just a single facet like a sport or a hobby? Understandably, devoting yourself to a passion is fulfilling. Yet, it's crucial to acknowledge that your identity encompasses more than this singular focus. This is a vital step in personal development and self-improvement.This epiphany struck me in my twenties, a transformative period, when I ventured outside my comfort zone. I channeled the passion and discipline from my athletic endeavors into an entirely new field. The outcome was more than just success; it was a revelation.Similarly, you...2023-11-1301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 30: You Need To Be Flexible With Your Plans!Being adaptable is a skill set I needed to learn to level up in many aspects of my life.When I was a young professional, any changes to my “plan” would enrage me and often derail me from the goal I was trying to achieve. This was 100% on me. Through time I learned how to be adaptable to change (even though it’s still frustrating).A few things contributed to this:- Understanding that my ego was getting in the way. I focused more on how this affected MY plan over what it meant for th...2023-11-1201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 29: Alignment vs Same PageAre you on the same page or are you aligned?Getting people on the same page isn't as hard as you think. It's just the acknowledgement of the direction you want to head as a group. Being aligned however is a totally different level. Being aligned is the buy in from every member on the team to be accountable to their role in accomplishing the group's goal.Anyone can nod "yes" to a good idea, but to get people moving, you have to get them motivated. Strategic alignment is the understanding from the top down...2023-11-1101 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 28: Levels of AccountabilityThere are levels of accountability.You cannot just expect an unaccountable person or team to become fully accountable in a day. Understanding these levels and helping the group and individuals navigate them is a leadership role. It requires awareness, empathy, and patience. Unfortunately, most organizations spend little to no time working on or even speaking about the roles of accountability. Taking the leap to do professional team development or team building is often overlooked, however, the results of the groups that do it are not: sustained championship culture with increased winning.If you a...2023-11-1001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 27: Business Leaders Need To Build A Great Team Culture20 minutes a week is all it takes.Time is our most valuable commodity at work, home and everywhere in between. Even though the prospect of carving time out of your workplace’s busy schedule for team building may be uncomfortable, the results for the teams that we work with in BOTH business and sports is clear – more revenue, better retention, better teamwork, better morale, and more winningBusiness teams are no different than pro sports teams. The ability to get maximum performance out of your people while creating a championship level culture is essential if you...2023-11-0901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 26: Harvard & Arnold Schwarzenegger's Take On Gratitude & It's Effects On Your LifeWhen was the last time someone thanked you for working hard today?Sometimes the smallest gestures of gratitude can lift up someones day, even if they don’t show it. Now here’s the trick, do it without any need or expectation that you will get acknowledgment back (always bonus if you do!) Think about what they tell us at the holidays about giving gifts being better than receiving gifts (although thats true too).Be an ambassador of gratitude - you usually get back what you put out!I believe in you, you shou...2023-11-0801 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 25: Ego Exercise While DrivingDo you have an ego? (We all do 😬)Ego is not always what you think it is. Sometimes it can be the typical, “I think I’m better than everyone else.”, but sometimes it can be more subtle. If you’ve every thought, “that must be nice.” sarcastically at someones success or had super road rage - that’s your ego coming out.Ego is any thought that deals with your self-esteem or self-importance. It’s not always a bad thing to have one - it can get you through some tough situations (especially in sports). But we sho...2023-11-0702 min

Putting yourself in the best position to take that risk is important!I challenge you to take a look at the mental safety nets that’s you may have created for yourself, and then review if they are holding you back. If they are, burn them down.Think about it - when you are passionate or in love with something or someone, yo...2023-11-0601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 23: The Tom Petty Approach - Drink Coffee To Spark CreativitySearching for that creative spark? You're not alone. It's all about finding what fuels your fire, just like a good cup of coffee ignited Tom Petty's musical genius. It's not about age or the "right" time; it's about finding your rhythm. A shower, a run, or that aromatic cup might just be your key to unlock a world of ideas. I find my creativity peaks in the morning, while others may find their stride at night. The secret? Know when you thrive and set your schedule to match that energy. And if you hit...2023-11-0501 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 22: Hang Out With Younger PeopleBe around young people and you’ll stay young.This isn’t about trying to “fit in” or impress people younger than you. It’s about being able to meet people where they’re at, listen, and exist in the same environment (which goes both ways). Age is not a prerequisite to be mentored or inspired. I have learned from people older and younger than me! While bodies may grow older, your mind doesn’t have to!I believe in you, you should too!

I Believe In YouEpisode 21: Lessons From The 2023 Women's World CupI was really inspired by the women at this years World Cup. They demonstrated what is best about sport AFTER the game had concluded. They also demonstrated something we should all aspire to (if you have the courage). There is a higher level you can ascend to with opponents where we appreciate them over having only animosity against them. Opponents, regardless of outcome, will always teach us something about ourselves and about how we play the game and operate as a team. If you can find gratitude in that - you can’t lose...2023-11-0301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 20: Team BuildingMost people misunderstand what team building is.A group dinner is always nice, but its never enough. Team building is the dedication from leadership to create an environment and culture in which their people can thrive both as individuals but more importantly as a team.Team building creates, better performance, better motivation, better mindset and most important, better outcomes.Developing all of this is an art and process which take a professional - that’s why I’ve dedicated my life to it.I’d love to work with you and your t...2023-11-0201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 19: Trust MattersEstablishing a definition of trust is my starting point for every team I work with. It is the foundational element that every team needs to succeed. But it’s just the start of the power that trust holds. Once defined, trust evolves into a tool for the entire team, especially when adversity arrives. Knowing that you can trust the person next to you and that they can trust you eliminates a lot of the roadblocks that a team may face when adversity (internal or external) arrives. Understanding that there is no maliciousness in addit...2023-11-0101 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 18: Control Your EmotionsControLabeling your emotions helps you control them, so they don’t control you.We’ve all been hijacked by anger, sadness and happiness and excitement - this tends to be when we make poor or brash decisions.

I Believe In YouEpisode 17: You Need Weekly Team Building To Be SuccessfulSuccessful teams invest in their culture. Team building is often mistaken as a group meal or a one off event in which people are all but forced to participate. True team building or team performance enhancement is implemented often and accepted by everyone as part of the equation to help the team and individuals succeed. Winning teams invest a lot of time and resources into cultivating and maintaining a team bond throughout the year (or season). Simply put, the process of discovering what makes a team tick is an art. Once established, you are...2023-10-3001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 16: Make The TimeWe MAKE time, we don’t find time.If you are truly passionate about something, you will always make the time to dedicate resources to it. When I hear people ask, “How do you/I find the time”, I always say back, “If its important, I/you will make the time.” Do an audit of your day and how you spend your time.- sleep- eating- work/school- family time- extracurricular - social mediaMost of the time you will always be able to carv...2023-10-2901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 15: IdentityWhat do you identify as?Did you pick one thing? You don’t have too.As humans we have the unique ability to be able to identify ourselves many different ways. For example, on here I am a coach, but I am also a Father, Husband, Son, Friend, writer, hockey player, speaker and much more. The list goes on. I don’t singularly identity as just one thing - I am OK being complex and having many aspects that make me - me.Don’t allow the game you play or society’s rules di...2023-10-2801 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 14: Put Your Phone Down To Quell The Happiness RecessionI have a complicated relationship with technology.I love the connectivity and community and see the potential for it to be an incredibly good force in our lives. Adversely I also see the addiction and divisiveness that it can create with irresponsible reporting and doom shares. There is clear research that when we started to bring the internet outside with us wherever we went, happiness levels started to drop. It’s easy to blame the technology but the truth is we are more in control of our screen time and feeds as individuals than anyone.2023-10-2701 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 13: HopeHope is death for an athlete.I never want my athletes to rely on hope to win a game. If they are “hoping”, they are focused on things we cannot control.With that said, as the leader, I can be a dealer in hope to the team, meaning I can create an environment where they believe anything is possible. It’s a clear distinction - the responsibility to hope is on me, and the responsibility to take action and focus on what they can control is on them. At the end of the day, I...2023-10-2601 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 12: Network Correctly and Good Things Will ComeI never felt that I was owed anything, I only felt that I needed to earn things I wanted.I always took a “turn over every rock” mentality when I was a young professional. I was willing to put myself out there and call and email anyone I thought would be a good contact to help me accomplish my goals (also known as networking), and I was extremely genuine in my passion for my goals when I met them.I wanted to make sure that the people I met understood that I was not just tryi...2023-10-2502 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 11: Take A Walk!!!Learning to break a negative (saboteur) mind set is hard. But it can be accomplished through practice and telling yourself positive (sage) messages. For me, this manifests itself in getting up, changing my scenery, and going for a 10-15 minute walk. It helps me reset. It doesn’t always happen right away either. Sometimes it can take most of the walk for me to get centered and present - other times I need a longer walk. The point is, the more I listen to my sage voice an call out the saboteur voices, the more succ...2023-10-2401 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 10: You Need To Practice Your Team Building Elements ConsistentlyThe most common mistake I see when it comes to team bonding is that it’s treated as a “once in a while” kind of thing.Team building should be a well thought out, well planned, and constant part of your workflow whether you are on a sports team, business team or ANY team.The main fear in doing this is always the “time” that you have to invest to do so. There is an irrational fear that investing the time and resources will take away from the bottom line. In my experience it only increases...2023-10-2301 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 9: Admitting You're WrongIn one of my recent Ted Lasso inspired videos (which you can see on my social media), we discussed how Ted gave Greyhounds owner Rebecca forgiveness and blamed eloquently after she came clean about trying to sabotage the season. One of our viewers mentioned the bravery she showed in that moment in admitting her faults. I agreed with that comment.Knowing that you have done something wrong and having the strength to genuinely apologize is extremely hard. Biologically, we are wired to lie - its a survival instinct. That’s also why its so hard to do th...2023-10-2201 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 8: Faith And Success Are LinkedWhat do you believe in?Having faith, in any form, is extremely important if you want to find meaning in your life. It’s not so much in what you believe (as long as its not rooted in hate), but THAT you believe. Understanding that you are part of something much larger than yourself can be scary at first for some, but my belief is that the more you dive into that mindset, the more freeing It becomes.I have seen strong faith carry people through the hardest of times and I have see...2023-10-2101 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 7: Help Others And You'll Live LongerHelping other people can extend your life…read that again.Seriously, research has shown very conclusively that those who make an effort to help others see almost a 25% chance of living longer. With that said, I’ll be the first to admit that practicing this mentality is often easier said than done - but - thats why it pays off to practice it.- Focus on what you can control.- Live in the present moment.- Help others where you can.- Be patient with your personal improvement process.2023-10-2001 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 6: Habits and GoalsWriting out your goals is important. Writing down the habits needed to accomplish your goals is probably more important.Dreams and goals are very important to keep us grounded and on track - but they are never enough. Exhibiting the behaviors and actions needed to help you reach them on a day to day basis are the power that moves you there.Learning to identify those habits is a worthy practice, and the pursuit of mastering those habits typically will perpetuate your dreams to come true.Crush the daily journey...2023-10-1901 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 4: IndecisivenessAre you indecisive? One of my favorite motivators, Tony Robbins, recently wrote a fantastic article about the power behind being decisive.The quality of your life is usually based on the quality of your decisions. Like most things, the more you practice making decisions, the better you will be at them (this is while remembering that not making a choice is, in fact, a choice). Decision making is not always an easy process. That’s why it’s important to come up with a process for yourself on how to intelligently make choices in you...2023-10-1701 min

I Believe In YouEpisode 1: I Believe In You, You Should TooIf you've ever seen any of my content across social media, you've probably noticed that I end every video by saying, “I believe in you, you should too.” After about a year of doing this, my producer asked if there might be value in sharing these messages in podcast format, and we truly believe that there is.In this first episode, I’ll explain where the catch phrase came from, and why I believe there is a power in sharing that message.
