Ascent Life PodcastEp. 16 - A Clear & Present BeautyThe humanities—fields like literature, philosophy, history, art, and music—play a vital role in shaping both individual lives and broader notions of success. They’re not just academic pursuits; they’re lenses through which we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.

Ascent Life PodcastEp. 10 - Using Discipline to Build Your Best Life | IFBB Pro, Trainer DanInner Excellence is already messing with me. I’m only on Chapter 2, “Where the Wild Things Are: Pride and Fear and the Center of the Universe,” and I’m learning my fear comes from self-centeredness — which nobody wants to hear that.
My fear of rejection in SALES for instance comes from ego. Murphy (the author), writes:
“I’ve found that fear stifles our freedom and hurts our performance more than anything else. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of not being enough. Fear, however, is only the symptom of a more complex issu...2025-03-0457 min

After bragging about crushing my morning yesterday, this morning’s routine was rough. Not a great morning in the Long house.
First, I slept in until after 6. Not ideal, because this shifts my whole morning routine to later.
Second, the 10-year-old woke up and chose resistance! He didn’t want to do anything that was asked of him which is unusual. He’s normally really good at getting ready for school. Not today.
So, this put...2025-03-041h 02Ascent Life PodcastEp. 6 - Morning Routine | Ski Guide J.T. RobinsonAscent Life Ep. 6 - Morning Routine with Ski Guide J.T. Robinson
Guest: Skier, Guide, Entrepreneur, J.T. Robinson: http://www.jtrobinson.com/
Intro: Wake up, do hard things. What are you doing today to be the best version of yourself?
Today, I woke up at 5:30, prayed and gave gratitude, read “The Greatest Mindset” for 30 minutes, made some goals for the remainder of the week, lifted weights for 15 minutes, then walked on the treadmill for an hour.
I then showered and got ready for the day, and was at my desk doin...2025-02-2547 minAscent Life PodcastEp. 3 - Redevelopment | Commercial Real Estate (re)Developer, Thaine FischerYesterday’s show with Cam McLeod, and our two hour conversation about many things, was a great second episode of Ascent Life, and really challenged me to think about what it means to live our best life, and why? So, I encourage you to go back and watch that, and maybe put it on 1.25 speed to burn through a little faster. We went full Joe Rogan, as far as length.
But after we stopped recording. Cam encouraged me to share more of my personal journey with you all, and I agree. But, I’m also hesitant. Despite my f...2025-02-1955 minAscent Life PodcastEp. 2 - Create the New | Commercial Photographer, Cam McCleodAs a creative, I often lose focus. I become uninterested easily. And, when things become hard, distraction and procrastination becomes an art form. I manipulate graphics, or scroll social “for inspiration,” or edit “to get ahead,” or watch an instructive YouTube video, or listen to a podcast, when I should be selling. I should be creating. I should be working out. I should be doing the hard things.
So, I encourage you to determine what the hard things are that you are avoiding, and make time for those. One technique is to “Eat The Frog.” Which means to tackle yo...2025-02-122h 02Ascent Life PodcastEp. 1 - Why Ascent Life | Wealth Advisor, Rex BaxterWhen do I get angry? When I’m not living up to my own expectations and abilities.
What annoys me about other people? When other people do not live up their own expectations and abilities.
I recently answered these questions as they are laid out in Lewis Howes book ‘The Greatest Mindset,’ under the chapter Healing Your Past.
When I’ve been frustrated and experienced severe anxiety (panic attacks), it’s been when I knew, inside, that I was not fulfilling my expectations of myself - whether that was a job I knew wasn’t my de...2025-02-1232 minAscent Life PodcastAscent Life LIVE - Intro: The Joe Rogan LifeI’m Joe Rogan now! Not that I want to be Joe Rogan, the person. I want to live the same schedule as Joe Rogan. It looks something like this… Wake, Make Tea, Read & Write for an hour, Focused Work (top 3 items of the day), Workout (lift heavy things), Shower & Get Ready, Break Fast around noon, Head to the Studio & Record a Podcast, Post-Production Work, Network & Socializing, Home for House Chores & Time with Family, Journal, Sleep, Repeat.
