Ep 214 RPM - Goal Setting That Works Motivation is great, ambition is wonderful, but how do we capture the energy and direct it consciously to get a result?

Ep 213 Change It Up (Notes on Habit Change) If you have ever tried to change a habit and failed time and time again, you know the frustration and resilience it takes to try again. This isn't just for habits. Think of all the areas in your life that you have tried again and again and keep getting the same result. Sometimes, it is not more effort, bu…

Ep 212 Borrow My Motivation Today Many days, when I first get up out of bed, the voices in my head are not positive. So what can we do when our internal dialogue isn't automatically positive?

Ep 211 Purpose to Your Pain A friend once asked me, "Brian, do you think everything happens for a reason?" I thought about it for a minute and said to her, "Honestly... I don't know.

7:06

Ep 210 Gifts Wrapped in Sandpaper How do you respond when something terrible happens? Career troubles, relationship falling apart, health challenges, life has a way of keeping us guessing.

Ep 208 The Blessings in the Bad Days Sometimes when bad things happen, things we didn't plan for, it can seem like things are falling apart. When our perfectly organized plan doesn't come together, it may feel like we'll never be able to succeed at achieving our goals. But what if those bad days had a purpose? What if learning to manage the bad day…

Ep 207 They're Counting on You 9:05

2y ago9:05

9:05

Ep 207 They're Counting on You What's very interesting is the dichotomy we face when we want to help people. We can simultaneously crave success, crave growth, crave to be making an impact, and at the same time be afraid to have people counting on us. We can go from celebrating a growing audience to resenting the audience for "expecting so much" of…

Ep 206 Waiting for Motivation If you have ever found yourself waiting for motivation to strike before you get started, you know how I've been feeling recently.

Ep 205 Hard Choices, Easy Life / Easy Choices, Hard Life We've all been there where we have an idea bouncing around our heads, but can't seem to get up off the couch.

Ep 204 Complain or Fix I saw a quote while scrolling around Instagram that said, "If you have told more than three people, you aren't looking for a solution, you are looking to complain." And it hit me hard. It was what I sometimes call a "Mirror Moment," a moment when you are forced to look in the mirror. As tough as it is to face up to our mistak…

Ep 202 No One is Coming to Save You This is simultaneously the most terrifying and liberating thing to know at your core.

Ep 201 Too Much to Do to Much Time We've all heard the phrase, "Too much to do, too little time," but what I have found is very often, people have much more time than they think.

10:48

Ep 199 Comfortable Complacency I heard a quote that said, "Most people are eternally mediocre," and that really hit me. Most people don't even get started, those that do, often give up after a couple tries. Even fewer, continue to a level of proficiency, and the smallest portion will continue to hone their craft to the point of mastery or becoming …

Ep 198 Things Coming Together Sometimes it feels like we are taking step after step but not making any real progress. When we have our heads down, and we only see one step after another, it can often feel like there is nothing really changing.

Ep 197 Time Well Spent My definition of "time well spent" or a "day well spent" has drastically changed from what it used to be in my 20's. I realized that my life was largely defined by pursuing achievement for validation of my worth in my 20's, but many times that led to constant pursuit and feelings of guilt when I wasn't working. Now at 31 I am…

10:51

Ep 196 One Shot, One Opportunity There are true once in a lifetime opportunities that come in our lives where we may never see them again. But far more often, we tell ourselves that an event was once in a lifetime because we aren't willing to find / create another moment like it. What if we could make more opportunities to do and see amazing things…

13:07

Ep 195 Will Anyone Care? We can often doubt our ability to make an impact on people. When we are in our darkest moments, we convince ourselves that our art, our creation, won't matter. Why create a video, write a book, launch a video, start that business when we might find out that no one cares? We often are missing some very crucial things when we…
