Always Hope164: Unlocking the Joy of Belief (Advent Series 3) | Dr. Tom NealFor many of us, belief isn’t always easy. Life throws curveballs. Promises don’t pan out the way we thought they would. Secularism raises doubts in our minds. It’s hard to reconcile the joy we sing about this time of year with the struggles we face in our day-to-day lives. But belief doesn’t always start with clarity. Sometimes, it starts in the messiness of life, when everything feels out of alignment. That’s where Christ finds us. That’s the story of Christmas. And that’s where this episode begins—by looking at faith not as a perfect...

In Chapter Two, Mario discusses why and how creating systems led to ultimate sales and marketing success, including the implementation of a CRM and the rigor applied to its adherence.
Lesson Learned: Software alone, without processes and systems, will not solve sales and marketing. The CRM is the tool; it is the people and their compliance that will determine success of failure.

Ideas include a 1950s noir detective movie where Mario is the detective who tries to find the kidnapped princess, a movie where Bowser is a sleazy landlord who keeps a drug-addicted Princess as a "strawberry" who supplies Bowser with adult favors in exchange for drugs and lodging, a movie where the Goombas are zombies, a movie from Bowser's perspective, etc.

This week Mario, Tom, and their now frequent guest J.P., open the show with an excerpt of a long, loose, and sometimes poorly recorded conversation based on Brian Raftery’s new book “Best. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen” (8:06). Then Mario and Tom eat what they hope are their number 54’s inside a ring of stones constructed by the druids: Tom (35:03), Mario (51:02).

Mayito MinutesTom Danielson InterviewThe guest for this interview is Tom Danielson, former Pro Tour rider with Team Discovery Channel among other teams. Tom is currentlya coach and owner at Cinch Cycling. The conversation I had with Tom is full of his retelling of some of the experiences and things he learned in his cycling career and how it has led him to where he is now. It was especially neat to hear Tom say that he doesn't regret the path that he took to get him to where he is now, because he is more content with himself then he has ever been.
