The Game Changer PodcastWhat is your "4 minute mile" goal for 2020?Happy New Year! Before you commit to your 2020 goals, make sure that you aren't limiting yourself by what you think is impossible. In this episode, I discuss the impact of Roger Bannister who on May 6th, 1954 was the first person in history to break the 4-minute mile barrier. While this was certainly history-making, what followed changed the way we look goal setting and what is possible for us all. You see, 46 days later Roger's record was broken by John Landy. And in the decades that have followed, beating the goal of running a 4-minute mile...2020-01-0110 min

The Game Changer PodcastWow! That was one long hiatus!Hello and almost Happy New Year! I thought long and hard about how I wanted this kick-off show to go. Better said, how I want this next decade and chapter to go. One thing that's certain, is that I will be transparent about the good and bad, and do everything in my power to help you to believe that anything is possible. For that to happen we need to challenge what we believe to be true, what holds us back from pursuing our dreams, and the stories we hold on to about ourselves and others. As we move forward I...2019-12-3100 min

The Game Changer Podcast131: What Happens When You Realize The Coolest Person In The Room Is… Your Mom!?!?Happy Mother’s Day! I am blessed to have an amazing mom, and I am the mom of two incredible daughters. And as much as I look forward to this day each year, there has not been a time where I really had to reevaluate what it means to be a “great mom” as I have this week. In this episode I have the opportunity to read an article from a newspaper written about my mother, that had me realizing just how cool she is. I don’t think “cool” is a word most of use to describ...2017-05-1318 min

The Game Changer Podcast129: When Mindfulness Meets A Self-Serving Fork In The Road…Mindfulness. There are magazines, blogs, books, and hundreds of courses available on this topic. I have also recorded several podcasts about this, as well. Yet while I was in London at a conference, I had the opportunity to view mindfulness in a whole new light. I believe most people have the ability to be kind and considerate when things are going well. It’s easy to be mindful of others, when there’s no consequence to us. But what happens when being mindful to someone else, has a perceived negative consequence to us? What if being mindful means givi...2017-02-1113 min

The Game Changer Podcast128: Perspectives On Meditation, Consciousness, And Your Next Social Media PostI think most people when faced with a situation that feels much larger than us, have felt, “What impact can I truly have?” So we go through life believing that our thoughts, our words, or our actions, have no consequence in the big picture. If that’s the case, then what is, collective consciousness? Here’s one definition, so that we are all on the same page: Collective consciousness (sometimes collective conscience or conscious) is a fundamental sociological concept that refers to the set of shared beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and knowledge that are common to a social g...2017-01-3040 min

The Game Changer Podcast127: What Does It Mean To Be Truly Present?I think it’s fair to say that most people would consider themselves being “present” whenever they are in a conversation with someone. They were there, they heard that the other person was talking, so they can check that box. However, there is a big difference between hearing someone and truly listening. In this episode “being present” is highlighted as one of the key focus points at “The Field of Transformation” course here at One World Academy. In our fast paced world of multi-tasking and 10X’ing everything we do, we have lost the art of communication with another. This...2017-01-2517 min

The Game Changer Podcast126: Live From India, Please Join Me On The JourneyIf you have EVER considered traveling to a location that is far away, a place you know little about, and is different from every aspect of your current life… make 2017 the year you do just that. There is such tremendous value when you can gain perspective and insight on your own life, when you make the effort to become an observer of your life. The best way to do that, is to step FAR away from it, and put yourself if a place that has you asking all sorts of different questions than what you normally ask. For...2017-01-2116 min

The Game Changer Podcast125: Misinterpretations, Traveling To India, And Losing It Over The Pet Of The WeekHave you ever wondered how many times you “got it wrong?” This includes interpreting a text the wrong way, an email, or what someone said. And it doesn’t stop there. Once we assign meaning to that communication, we start passing judgement about the person who said it, and create a story or a “belief” around what must be. The downfall is, we are often wrong. In this podcast this topic is front and center as it affects our thoughts, every decision, and ultimately our destiny. I have said more times than I can count, “The quality of your answers...2017-01-1217 min

My belief has always been that no matter what you want to accomplish in life, from losing weight to setting a world record… it all starts with mindset. In this ep...2017-01-0342 min

The Game Changer Podcast123: The Power Of Messengers… The Recurring Message of 2016I think we have all have had that moment where we have felt the perfect person came to us, just at the right time. They helped us see things in a different a light, offered the help when we needed it, or connected us with a resource that we were lacking. But how often do we consider the people who in the moment seem, well… less than helpful, as messengers as well? Have you ever considered that everything and everyone you run across could be a messenger of some sort? Maybe someone knows how to push our butto...2016-12-2821 min

The Game Changer Podcast121: My Take-Away From Date With Destiny, with Tony RobbinsIt is hard to narrow down what my greatest take-away was from this year’s Date with Destiny event, as the six days (that each went till 2am) was jam packed with incredible information! However there was commonality between all six days, which was the highlight of each day for me; the tremendous outpouring of love… regardless of age, race, gender, economic background, or the story that was told. Every person who stood up to tell a story of their past (some of which was horrific) was not met with judgement, instead each person was met with overwhelming grace. ...2016-12-1512 min

The Game Changer Podcast119: Tony Robbins, Animal Shelters, And Re-Igniting Your Passion…What do you think of when you think of New Year’s resolutions and goal setting? Most of us think about tweaking what we eat- for the better, or maybe exercising more often. But in this episode I am asking you to consider much bigger things. The things that you have put off for years, maybe even decades. I have wanted to go to Tony Robbins’ event Date with Destiny for well more than a decade. I am so excited to finally be there (by the time this episode airs). How often do we spend seven straight days thi...2016-12-0809 min

The Game Changer Podcast117: Trees With Deep Roots And The Infamous Spaghetti Loaf…Have you ever wanted to make a great first impression, and instead it was an epic fail? As I have said many times, it’s not the event, rather how you deal with the event- that defines you. We all have been in that place; made plans, visualized how everything would go… and then the whole thing falls apart before your eyes. The truth is, the holidays give us lots of opportunities for things to go awry. People are under a lot of stress with company, finding just the right gift, having enough time to see all the peo...2016-12-0214 min

The Game Changer Podcast115: A Facebook Post About A Man’s Love For His Dog, (Pac) That Had Me In Tears…We only have so much time and energy in this lifetime. How often do you stop and think about how you are spending each moment? Not just in what you are doing, but also in what your thinking. Let’s also add in, what you are reading and what you are listening to as well. All of these “moments” we will never get back. Further, for every second that is spent furthering or adding to any negativity, are all moments you are not contributing to help or better someone else’s life. Simply said, you can not hold a thought of lov...2016-11-2408 min

The Game Changer Podcast111: You Just Never Know… What An Election.For those of you that haven’t heard, here in the U.S. we just held presidential elections. The truth is, there’s no way, no matter where you are on the globe… that you didn’t hear about it. I could go on for days on my thoughts on all of this, but let me just say this: Donald Trump: Did not have the backing of his party. He did not have any support from the media. He did not have anywhere near the money that his competitor raised. The take...2016-11-1005 min

The Game Changer Podcast108: Flowering Vines, Wine Tasting, And The Value Of Great Friends….Inspiration again comes from the oddest of places. I have this plant that has several growing vines. One is struggling. It’s the one that has no attachment. No grounding. No path for future growth. I think this is no different than people. When we lack connection… we struggle. This week I was reminded of how blessed I am to be surrounded by incredible friends. I can’t imagine my life without them, and happy that I don’t have to. I also got to test my mad wine tasting skills in Napa… which didn’t exactly get me any closer to...2016-10-2709 min

The Game Changer Podcast105: How Well Do You Really Know The People Around You?We’ve all heard the line, “Give the gift you would like to receive.” In a word… NO. (Unless you are brushing up on your skills as a narcissist.) Give a gift that you have thoughtfully chosen, that the recipient would like to receive. Any quality relationship requires us to pay attention to what someone says, being present, and making mental note of what matters. There are so many people who are busy jumping from one thing to the next, they wind up skimming the top of most everything. To be someone who develops meaningful relationships, with depth, we ha...2016-10-1410 min

The Game Changer Podcast101: What Happens When What We Value, Isn’t How We Spend Our Time?My focus for October (which this episode is kicking off) is about figuring out what matters, our uniqueness, and contribution. At some point the realization sets in that it’s not about the shiny new car, getting a bigger house, or your net worth. What truly matters at the end of it all, is the value you brought to others. Determining what you value and what your natural talents are- is what can make your contribution uniquely… you. But before we do a deep dive into the means in which you can contribute, we first have to determi...2016-09-3008 min

The Game Changer Podcast99: Just When You Think You Have It All Figured Out, Life Shows Up.Have you ever found yourself in “auto pilot”? Meaning you had things so under control you are able to just coast for a bit, and enjoy the ride. Then right in that moment is when you get T-Boned, out of left field, never seeing it coming. I think those moments are what keep us humble and grounded. Without them we become complacent, lose our edge, and start taking things for granted. I can tell you that is how I felt (the t-boned part) about recording my 100th episode. I was SO looking forward to this particular show… literally...2016-09-2310 min

We talked about the importance of relationships and not only how to build them, but also how to maintain them for a lifetime. In this conversation we talked about the simple things. The details. And in these “details” are the things that we remember. For me… two things stood out. One was, how we introduce people. (This is worth the listen.) The other showed up in my mailbox last week, a couple of days after our interview. This is the picture shown. Think about the...2016-09-0807 min

The Game Changer Podcast91: Celebrating Each Other, And Participation Medals That Ruin It For Everyone.In this episode I am addressing some feedback I received from Monday’s show. I had some people tell me they tried greeting people with, “What are we celebrating” and it stopped them dead in their tracks. We are so programmed to robotically say, “Fine” to whatever is asked, that it doesn’t take much to throw us. Further, someone asking for good news, takes confusion to a whole new level. I have had a few people running this experiment, and they all reported the same shocked and perplexed- head tilted, non-response, to that question. If you haven’t tried it yet, give...2016-08-2610 min

The Game Changer Podcast89: What Does It Mean To Really “Show Up?”This is by no means a new topic for me. However it certainly is one that bears repeating. It is not what you do, but how you do it, that matters. I was reminded of this topic again this week and what an impact it has when you enthusiastically, passionately, and with conviction, show up in what you are doing. Remember what it was like as a kid when the recess bell rang? It was a madcap race to see who could get to the playground first. The same happened when the lunch bell rang, and the bell that annou...2016-08-1910 min

The Game Changer Podcast85: The Pain of Honesty, And The Value Of IntegrityLife has a funny way of forcing us into defining who we really are, when we least expect it. In fact, not just when we least expect it, but when it’s also very inconvenient. For the first time, I didn’t publish a Monday interview. I could make all kinds of excuses, but the truth is, I didn’t get it done. As I was getting ready to record this episode (about missing Monday’s podcast) a friend sent over a blog, from momastery.com that spoke to the point of this podcast, far better than I could on my own. ...2016-08-0510 min

The Game Changer Podcast84: Life Lessons from Elon Musk, Tim Ferriss, Tai Lopez, and Simon Sinek.Elon, Tim, and Tai have some very strong similarities, as well as some seemingly strong differences… that is until you look a little more closely. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, works 14 hours a day. Tim Ferriss is well known for his book, “The four hour work week.” Tai Lopez believes that your work should be something you love, thus you don’t have a need to count the hours- as your work is your life. So as you can see, on the surface, they all perceive their time at work differently. But if you dig a bit deeper, you will find th...2016-07-2911 min

The Game Changer Podcast82: What If The Meaning You Assigned Things, Was Wrong?How do you define the meaning of the events that take place in your life? Especially those moments that we wish we could forget. Those moments that cause us the most pain; where we have let someone down, didn’t come through, or simply didn’t have the means to show up the way we wish we could. These are the moments that define us. If you are in a place where you find yourself wishing you had more to offer… please listen. The reality is, you may have more to offer than you could imagine.

The Game Changer Podcast80: How Do You Define Honor And Loyalty?I have finally caught up with the rest of the world on Game of Thrones. For many reasons this week, one aspect of this show has been on my mind a great deal. And that is the topic of honor and loyalty. This show redefines what true loyalty means, in every regard. This extends to your family, your tribe, to someone’s life that you are sworn to protect. The truth is this loyalty only works when it is driven by a deep sense of honor. The word honor is not only one we don’t use very often to describ...2016-07-1408 min

The Game Changer Podcast78: How Does Warren Buffett Determine Who Will Be Successful?Warren Buffet was speaking to a group of students, one who asked, “How do you determine who will be successful?” His answer was a perfect one. (I love people who answer questions with questions.) He asked them to think back to High School and their graduating class. He asked them to think about everyone they knew back then, and if they could pick one person that they would get to make 10% of everything that person made for the rest of their life, who would they choose? Would they choose the valedictorian, the most popular, the one who got the best ath...2016-07-0716 min

The Game Changer Podcast76: What Happens When Someone Who Hates Their Job, Comes Between You And Your Luggage?Life is never short of topics to write about! But this time, my encounter at baggage claim, could not have been better timing as I am between two episodes on what it takes to stay Fired Up in your job, and next Monday’s show about getting out of your comfort zone and taking a chance to do what you love. So imagine the impeccable timing of running across someone who clearly wanted nothing to do with his job (certainly not that night.)

The Game Changer Podcast74: Figure Out What You Want, and Learn How To Ask For It.In this week’s episode I bridge the topic of friendship, from Monday’s podcast, and the topic of my upcoming episodes on what it takes to truly pursue your dreams. I have some really interesting shows coming up with very unique perspectives on what holds us back, and how to get past any internal dialogue that limits us. Once we silence our inner critic (to the best of our ability) here’s the work… becoming crystal clear about what you really want- REALLY, REALLY want. Once you have determined that, the next step is realizing you can’t get there on...2016-06-2308 min

The Game Changer Podcast72: Can you grow AND stay in your comfort zone?This week I was interviewed on another podcast. We chatted about whether or not people can actually make a mistake and how detrimental it is to avoid change and stay in your comfort zone. As far as “mistakes” go, I simply don’t believe we ever make a mistake. I think every decision we make, provides us feedback to either keep heading down that path, veer off a bit, or make a complete u-turn. A believe many people label it a “mistake” when you get an outcome that you didn’t intend. However, that outcome could be just the thing we need, ev...2016-06-1608 min

The Game Changer Podcast70: Game Of Thrones, The Stanley Cup, and Food Poisoning; My Week.What a week! I have a new appreciation for anyone who has ever had food poisoning. Possibly the worst physical eight hours I have ever endured. (I think my bathroom is still recovering.) However, it left me stuck on the couch all day Sunday, with nothing to do but move through another season of Game of Thrones. Albeit, it’s only Season 2, I am getting in the game! In this show, I highlight one specific episode from Game of Thrones, that was completely aligned with Monday’s podcast about desperation and listening to your inner voice.

The Game Changer Podcast68: Life Lessons From a Gas StationInspiration comes from the oddest of places. For me this week, it has come from a gas pump at a gas station. As you can see by the picture, there is streaming video on each of the pumps. It got me to thinking that we truly have become so dependent upon input and entertainment, that the mere thought of three minutes of silence would be too much. So just how often do we go out of our way to make sure every moment is filled with some sort of noise? And how often do we go out of our way t...2016-06-0207 min

The Game Changer Podcast67: Does Visualization Really Work? with Michelle Dutro, Game Changing MindsetI think by now we have all heard of visualization and the impact it can have on anything you are trying to accomplish. This is everything from sports, weight loss, muscle growth, test outcomes, pay raises… the list is endless. The difference between intention and visualization is, intention is focusing on what the intended outcome is of whatever you want, and visualization is literally walking through what is happening every step of the way, for that intended outcome to take place. Please join me in today’s episode where Tammy Drechsler and I discuss everything from intention to vis...2016-05-3038 min

It will probably be peaceful, have some sort of new-agey type of music playing softly in the background, and everyone will be more flexible than gumby. Well, let me tell you, none of that goes on here in S. CA. Not only is it NOT soft music, it’s Rave music played louder than the speakers can handle. (And this is at every class I have taken.) Further, these are far more aerobic/crossfit classes than they are anythin...2016-05-2616 min

His substance abuse started early in life—at age six he began smoking marijuana—and finally ended in a padded cell in juvenile prison 11 years later. It was in this cell where he hit “an emotional rock bottom” and began his meditation practice “out of a place of extreme drug addiction and suffering.” While incarcerated, he saw for the first time how the mediation practice his father taugh...2016-05-2331 min

The Game Changer Podcast64: “Problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them.”If, in fact, problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them, as Albert Einstein once said, what are we to do? This is why mentorship and coaching is so valuable. To find a different solution, you must ask different questions. You must get out of the box you are in, and find another way. As I am in-between two very important interviews on addiction, this concept of finding a different solutions to a problem, is the make or break as to why people slip off a very slippery slope. The question is, how hard are you w...2016-05-1908 min

In today’s podcast I am once again interviewed by my good friend Tammy Drechsler. In this conversation we talk about both topics and the one thing that is most impactful to them both; honesty. The simple reality is you can’t have more peace or more meaning without first getting very honest with yourself about what truly matters to you. If you want to rea...2016-05-0943 min
