Going the extra mile isn't about proving you're better than everyone else—it's about becoming the best version of yourself. Today I talk about Robert De Niro's character in The Intern and how his humility connects with starting a new chapter in my own career. Sometimes being the most experienced rookie in the room means knowing when to learn, when to help, and when to simply listen.This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day!!

What did it really mean to lead by example, and should you tell somebody how to do their job when you've nver done the job yourself? Today I talk about leadership,workplace bullying, earned respect, and people telling us what to think- and somehow Little Bo-Peep and her sheep get dragged into the conversation.Sometimes leadership isn't about pushing people around; it's about being willing to walk the same road and get the same blisters. This is Big Dave and you go and have GREAT day!

Before resumes , promotions, and careers, many of us learned about reputation on the playground - when someone had to choose who they wanted in their team. Being picked first can build confidence, while being picked last can become the motivation to work harder, improve, and prove yourself. Don't live off your reputation. - keep building it.This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day !!

What happens when you do more than you are paid to do- sometimes before anyone is paying you at all?From Mr.Beast and Markplier to Colonel Sanders and Dave Thomas, we look at people who kept putting in the work before the reward showed up. Sometimes the value in your wallet (ditigal or analog) starts with what you're willing to do when the walker is empty. THIS IS BIG DAVE AND YOU GO AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!Bonus: Issa Rae - before Insecure , she grabbed a camera from her college library and started making a web series.When Hollywood essentially told her there wasn't an audience for what she wanted to make, she created Awkward Black girl for YouTube herself, that eventually launched her television career.

Kindness is not a savings account, and good deeds don't come with withdrawal slips! Today we talked about the law of compensation, the remarkable memory of the crow, and doing good without keeping score. Put kindness into circulation- you never know when, where or how it may find its way back to you. This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day!

Today we look at Napoleon Hill's warning about waving a red flag in front of the bull and how perfectly it fits today's world of rage bait and social media. Anger creates attention, attention creates engagement, and engagement creates money—but we don't have to participate. We can choose what gets our attention, what we share, and ultimately what we feed our own algorithms. Put down the red flag, pick up the green one, and go have a great day.

Today we explored the negotiation within- the conversation we often have with ourselves before we ever negotiate with someone else. From sorting through generations of family photographs to asking for a raise or navigating a difficult conversation is part of everyday life. Sometimes going the extra mile means seeking an agreement rather than trying to win. And sometimes the most difficult person at the negotiating table is you. This is Big Dave and Gary and you go and have a great day!

You can't make everyone like you—and you don't need to. Today, Gary and I talk about character, self-respect, first impressions, social media, and the quiet ways our behavior communicates who we are. Be honest, be considerate, stay grounded in who you are, and let others decide what they think.This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day!

Today we talk about the extra mile and how that shows up in little ways and how influence spreads without us even realizing it. From a story about a teenager noticing, to “perfume not vomit.” It's a great line, by the way. We're talking about living your life with an eye towards those around you. No scorekeeping, just small ordinary kindnesses that ripple out.

What happens when you go the extra mile and still find fools gold? Today we explore persistence, faith,knowing when to regroup, and recognizing that the real "pot of gold" isn't always money. Sometimes wealth is simply peace,purpose and being comfortable with who you are. This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day!

The first mile is what is expected of us. The second mile is the one we choose. Today we explore going the extra mile,helping others without expecting a reward, and how thoae everyday choices slowly become part of who we are. Sometimes you can look back at what you built and simply say, "I made this"This is Big Dave and you go and have a GREAT day!

What does it really mean to do a good deed without keeping score? Today we explore reciprocity, karma, It's a Wonderful Life, and the difference between being kind because of what you might receive and being kind simply because that's who you are. Sometimes the impact of what you put into the world comes back when you least expect it.

Are you adding heat or lowering the temperature? Today we look at peacemakers versus agitators, rage baiting, road rage, and a little wisdom from Rush.

Hey party people. It's one thing to have a great idea. It's always good to have a second great idea. That's 2nd great idea is, "how do I implement my 1st great idea?" In this episode we talked about Piggly Wiggly and the founder of that store and why he was successful. Furthermore we speak about Tesla and why they succeeded where Tucker did not . It's not just so much that you have a great idea but have the imagination to figure out how to implement the idea to be mass produced or to be understood and accepted by the masses.

Hey party people this is Big Dave. It has been a minute since my last Podcast. I thought it would be a good idea to start this month since the subject of October is "your mind". And this day we are talking about how to build a fortune in 5 seconds. There are 5 techniques per James Webb young . And I talk about that in the Podcast. Also I realized that this book was written way back in the long time ago. However the same principle applies today. This is Big Dave and you go and have a great day

This meditation is a doozy for December. The theme is faith and hope. It took me 3 attempts to get coherent dialog to stress the importance of this meditation. I share real issues in my life in hopes that it will guide you to self reflect on the meditation. Everyone comes from a different place on this issue. Are you willing to be honest with yourself? And if you are what freedoms does that create for you? This podcast is longer than normal but it is an important topic.

Today's Podcast asks the question what does he mean by free? Free to do what? Free to feel what? The meditation says we have freedom of choice. Freedom of choice from what? Will get into that more in the next Podcast. In this Podcast I talk about a band called DEVO and a funny story about my brother and me going to the Devo concert and getting in trouble later. I guess we had freedom of choice there but the consequences were trouble. I dive deep in what I believe is important on this Podcast with a more questions than answers. Can always be helpful everyday. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bigdavepositiveactionplan/message

Today's meditation talks about the irony of your choice of building up people or building up walls. It's an emotional episode for me because my actions and words have torn people down and there walls have gone up because of me. I don't want you to make the same mistakes.
