Inspiration From The Power of Vulnerability
I talk about my experience from the annual toastmasters conference in Asheville that I just happened last weekend. I was surrounded by a group of individuals who were willing to share their stories and every conversation I had was filled with so much purpose and passion! I had the honor to meet Forrest Tuff who was an accredited speaker for the conference. His story was so inspiring and I couldn’t resist to make the comparisons in my own life that resonated with me to the core. Are you wrapping ...

Motivation From Conformity Killing Dreams
Conformity Kills all dreams. As kids we hear the word NO almost 400 time a day! What kind of seeds is the planting for limiting beliefs to take root as a kid subconsciously. I am guilty as charged and its difficult in the moment to just not say NO. We are all trying to conform since birth. Corporate American will try to squeeze you into its mold so than you can just a be robot for someone else’s bottom line. Why would you want to conform to be like someone else when you were created an original!...

Inspiration From The Rob Reinow Interview
Rob married Amy in 1994 and they have been blessed with 7 children. His most important ministry is loving his wife and leading his children to know God and love Him. Rob’s mom came to Christ shortly after he was born so he was blessed to be introduced to Jesus at an early age. His parents divorced when he was in high school and God used that painful time in his life to give him a heart for young people and families going through dark times. He attended Wheaton College, then completed an MA in th...

Motivation From Radical Acceptance
I heard a speech the other day at Toastmasters from one of our members titled Radical Acceptance. I started thinking about the word acceptance and how every human being is seeking that in some form or fashion. We all desire to be accepted by a group or tribe of people. You should also start accepting the decisions that have led you to where you are right now in your life. Sometimes you will be forced to change due to some of your choices. Transformation takes a lot of work and it isn’t easy to b...

Motivation From Not Being Wishy Washy
I talk to a lot of people everywhere I go and booked calls from the podcast. One of two things always come up in these conversations. Time and Money are always going to be the biggest obstacles of pursuing your dreams. If its important to you then you will prioritize the time to start working towards that goal. Going through the same thing everyday day in and day out and expecting different results is the definition of insanity! Most people will talk themself out of their dream. Everybody has as...

Motivation From Not Staying Stuck
Are you where you want to be in life, or are you in the same exact place you have been for the last few years? When you realize their is so much more to life than what is current displayed to you then you are starting to get curious about how different life can be for you. You will need to eliminate distractions at the highest level to ensure you can focus on your goal without interruptions. You should not invest any time on things that don’t serve your purpose and calling here in this life. Bei...

Motivation From The Past Being The Past
We all have a past and that’s for sure! The question I have for you is are you going to continue to live their and prevent you from enjoying the present of this moment. Do you have trouble forgiving yourself from things of your past? That mindset will rob you from any joy of this day, which is the only day we are guaranteed. We all have things we want to change from our past. What did you learn from those lessons? I can assure you that if you didn’t learn the lesson it will reappear and you will...

Motivation From Coloring Outside The Lines
We have all been trained to conform in this life. As kids we are taught to stay inside the lines, conform, don’t go outside the lines because you are going to get in trouble. I have never been one to stay inside the lines, and I have never been one to stay in a box and conform to somebody else’s idea of who I should be. Why would you wan to be somebody else when you were created in the perfect image of God. You are making other people way too comfortable. If you feel like you cant share your goa...

Motivation From When Things Go Wrong
I’m sure you have had one of those days where everything seems to try and jack your day up! You cannot let a bad 5 minutes turn into a bad day. I was definitely being tested on all fronts. My phone died, and I was unable to charge my phone, I couldn’t podcast, and my phone died. I also had to give my second speech at toastmasters later on that afternoon. Life is still going to happen even when you are going for your dreams! I got some amazing feedback from my toastmasters group! I talk about the...

Motivation From The Uncertainty of Tomorrow
The uncertainties of life is a reality for all of us and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed to any of us! I am all or nothing when it comes to doing anything in life, and I have always been this way. I only have one speed, and its full throttle. One day we are going to pass and we think we have all the time in the world to pursue our dreams. It’s hard to take a step when you cant see the finish line! That’s where faith comes in. When you realize that you are called for something greater in this it is goi...

Motivation From The Temptation To Quit
I talk about the temptation the quit in this episode. The greater the temptation, the greater the mission. The enemy will try and convince you that you should stop, and although you may have temporary relief from your efforts you will encompass a lifetime of regrets wondering if you would have been able to reach the goal you set for yourself. You are holding the keys to somebody else’s prison. The more you continually take action whatever fear you might have been telling yourself is going to dis...

Motivation From The Anniversary of My Father Passing
Its April 15th, and its tax day here in the USA. This is also the day my Father passed away just a year ago in 2023. It feels like yesterday, but it also feels so distant which is kind of a conundrum. I think it funny how our perspective our time changes as we get older. If you knew the exact day of your exit I can almost guarantee that you would be spending your time in a completely different way. I used to throw caution to the wind in my younger days and didn’t respect time. I was living a tot...

Inspiration From Shifting Your Focus
Talk today about the F word today! FOCUS! We are entirely too distracted every single day of this life. What you are focused on today? Where focus goes, energy flows. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. When you realize you are not your past mistakes you can be free! When you realize you are continuing to focus on the negative aspects of your life you will be in bondage forever until you start to change your belief system. When you realize that you are not ...

Sherman hails from the vibrant city of Greenville, South Carolina, born into a lineage steeped in the traditions of pastors, ministers, and leaders, tracing back to the influential Pastor A.B.

Motivation From Being Ready
Are you where you wanna be at, and are you ready for what’s next? I have been podcasting now for the last 18 months and have had a lot of major life things happen to try and derail me through this process. My Father passed away during this time, and my computer has crashed and I was questioning if this was even the path that I was called for? When you realize that adversity and challenge are gonna test you through this process you can learn to adapt to the situation that presents itself. When yo...

Inspiration From Changing Your Identity
I discuss how you will need to change your identity in order to step into your future self. Who do you need to become in order to fulfill your dreams. How are you talking to yourself and how do you identify? You will need to change the story of your life, and start doing the thing today that your future self would do in order to meet that goal. It all starts with you making incremental changes daily to start becoming that version. Take your time seriously and ensure you are maximizing your outpu...

Motivation From Chasing Shiny Objects
I talk to a lot of people guys, and a common theme keeps showing up in these conversations. It seems to me that most people get into the game to see a quick return on their investment in regards to coaching, consulting, or starting any sort of online business. Although their might be some people who can start out of the gate and capture lightning in a bottle more often than not it takes a lot of hard work and time to build something substantial that will last in the long run. You must pick one t...

Motivation From The Brevity of Time
The time is now to act on your dream! Period! One day you will not have the energy, and you will end up living your days with regret sitting on your conscious like a two ton elephant. When you realize how short life actually is and our time here is but a vapor you can then start to live with a sense of urgency that will surely yield you some sort of result. We all want to live a purpose driven life and have significance while we are here, and most people will never truly understand what that eve...

Inspiration From How Trees Grow
I heard a story the other day about how trees grow in two directions at all times. They grow downward which is gravitropic, and they also grow upwards which is phototropic. The root system looks the same as the fruit system but you would never know that due to the roots having to grow underground. The funny thing is about the root system is that the tree must face a ton of resistance to break through the ground. You can equate this to life because everyone wants to see the fruit, but what most p...

Inspiration From Remembering How You Started
I talk about our podcast mastermind call and one of the 5 C’s that we are coached on which is celebration. I think often times we overlook the small wins when we are fixated on the big vision goal. This episode talks about what happens when you start down the path for your dream, and how life seems to have its way with you during this process. Are you even out of the starting gate with your goals and dreams? In order to reach your destination you are gonna have to take a step at some point no ma...

Lessons Learned From My First Speech
I talk about the feedback I received from my first speech. Although I was slightly under time I got some really great feedback from some seasoned toastmaster affiliates which I am forever grateful! I tried to write it out but I heard something from our Life Group teacher that let me know to throw that speech out the window. He stated that his father was ready to see the lord, and his mom had been gone for sometime, and he told us that his Dad didn’t have any purpose for being here. I had a seaso...

Inspiration From Finding Your Purpose From Your Pain
There’s purpose in the pain! I’m giving my first speech in regards to this very word! PURPOSE! I had a conversation with a lady by the name of Erica, and she was sharing some very personal things in regards to her journey. She told me that she wasn’t fulfilled in her life, and makes good money, but she was not happy. I told her that she wasn’t in alignment with her purpose and calling. Most people are not doing what they know they need to be doing that aligns with their calling. When you realize...

Motivation From Preparing My First Speech
I gave my first speech today at Toastmasters for my Effective Coaching pathways. I am a firm believer in coaching and how it can help accelerate your growth. I wrote a speech out but it didn’t feel quite natural as I have just been ripping these audio’s out now for a little over a year and 6 months. Purpose is the meaning that a thing exists? Why are you here? What is the purpose for your life? Do you ever have those thoughts? I’m not talking about going to your job? Do you even know what your g...

Inspiration From Finding Your Calling with Brad Davis
