Discuss my trip with my youngest daughter who is turning 8 tomorrow. I will be taking her to Crowders Mountain here for the first time! I will be taking her on the strenuous trail on purpose so I can give her some wisdom about how life is gonna be sometimes. You will often feel like you are going up hill and you will never know when you are gonna reach the top, but you must keep moving. As I was sitting thinking about this trip I noticed an inch worm moving on the porch and couldn’t help but wat...

Change the period to a comma in your life! When you feel like you can’t achieve any more and seem to be very stagnant you might have put a period to your thinking. We are only limited by the what we think about. I looked at a prayer request board at the gym, and people are hurting right now in this world. You have a purpose and calling here! Put a comma with those thoughts and start to rewrite your story to finish strong! God is not done working on me, and he isn’t done working on you either. Yo...

What you call small has everything to do with what YOU have seen BEFORE! How are you feeling today? Do you feel inadequate? It all starts with you BS! Your Belief System! Who told you that you cant achieve your dreams? You got to get around people who are doing what you want to do so you can learn! I wanted to see things at a different level so I had to pay the cost! It cost my money, time, and its all been worth it! One day it will all be over, and can you honestly say that you gave this life y...

Talked with a friend of mine who loves to travel, and I asked him why? He said that one day he might not be able to travel and the next day wont come one day. If we all knew the day and hr of our last breath we would live our life a completely different way! This journey of podcasting has been all about self discovery for myself. Do you think you have a message you have inside to share with the world? What are you waiting for? Time will never be right for you to pursue your dreams! I had a disco...

You owe it to yourself to pursue your dreams. I was talking to a friend who loves to travel a lot, and I asked him why! He said one day I wont be able too, and my time here will be over. We don’t know they day and hr of our departure here on this planet. Are you someone who has a message, and wants to blast it out to the world? When you realize that their will never be a good time for you to start the process. I spoke with a potential client the other day and he was so passionate about this mess...

I talk about an exercise that took place on our mastermind call. The power of the 5 Whys. Coach Caryl was able to allow us to take a deep dive and start asking some serious questions about why anyone would want a podcast, and why that matters. Most people want to be heard, and perhaps you feel that you don’t have a voice with the current people you are associating with. Start going through the 5 whys in your life and go through the process and start writing down what your discovery is. The main ...

Been listening to an audio book by Viktor Frankel, Mans search for meaning. Mans purpose for meaning is his primary motivation not a secondary rationalization. Wow! if your whole existence is to figure out why you are here, then what are you doing to search that out for your own life? Everybody at some point in their life will come to a point when you start to seek out purpose and significance. You will need to have a dream in order to fulfil both of those prophecies in your life. None of us kno...

You are going to suffer when you decide to take your shot! Suffering, Service, Sacrifice, and Satisfaction will all come into play when you decide to step out of your comfort zone and go for your dreams. You will need to start protecting your time to ensure you can move the needle forward every day. I think you have to be a little crazy to go for your dream, and nobody else will really understand when you start this journey! Who are you? Do you have a message, of course you do! Are you ready for...

The one thing that’s going to stop you from going for your dream is YOU! If you are stuck, what are you doing about it? Complaining, hanging around people who are preventing you from stepping into your greatness. Blaming other people for your circumstances? Make a list of why you have not started to pursue your dreams and let me know where your name lands on that list? The choice is up to you to get moving to get some momentum! This podcast has been a vessel for personal growth and self discover...

I talk about spending Mothers day with my family and how much my Mom has influenced me in my life, and on my journey! I am very fortunate to have had my mother in my life for all my years. She is the one who instilled God and my faith into my life and I owe her more than I could ever repay her. Mom really always does know what’s best. My mother has always been there for me and showed me what its like to love unconditionally and been my tour guide in life. You will need to seek out someone on you...

What are you afraid of? Knowledge isn’t found in a book, but gained through experience. Fear will rear its ugly head as you start on your journey to greatness! Taking the smallest amount of action will cure any fearful thoughts that start to arise in your mind. Your belief system about your dreams need to be dialed in! You might be telling yourself that you are not that important, and that would be a bold face lie! That’s the negative chatter preventing you from becoming the best version of you!...

Where our stories collide is the intersection where the magic happens. You really need to believe that you can make this happen!! Podcasting is not a get rich quick scheme, but you will need to develop yourself and create healthy habits around your content creation so that you can stay consistent through this process. If God puts something inside of you he will see it through, and you must not hesitate in that pursuit! You will need to remind yourself why you are doing what you’re doing? Who are...

I heard a speech at the Toastmasters Conference that talked about the rip chord moments in life. The analogy comes from a story of a guy who went skydiving and talked about how scared he was until he pulled the rip chord for the parachute. He stated that he had never felt so much peace when the shoot opened, and he realized that he wasn’t going to die. We should always be looking for moments in life that will forever change our lives. I had that moment when I put my car title up for cash just 18...

I discuss something I heard at the Toastmasters Conference in Asheville. Are you at a place in your life where nothing seems fresh? Its time to make a decision! There is a calling and purpose on your life! Where do you want to go? Who do you want to become? The world needs to hear from you and once you realize that you can begin to see the opportunity that awaits for you! What have you been through that could be a blessing to someone else? Most people don’t wanna put in the work in regards to pu...

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 ...

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!...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
