Idols To Rivals Podcast

Five years ago, I started this podcast as a way to push myself beyond my comfort zone. Two and a half years ago, I uploaded what I thought would be my final episode, with no clear plan for what came next. Now, as I reach 100 episodes, I'm reflecting on that journey—the uncertainty, the growth, and the unexpected twists along the way. Change is inevitable. Sometimes we choose it; other times, it catches us by surprise. But through it all, we adapt, evolve, and find meaning in the process. This episode is a collection of thoughts from where I stand today—insights I've gained, lessons that have proven valuable, and a reminder that even when the future is unclear, there's always something ahead. If this finds you at the right time, I hope it resonates. Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to what's next.

In the last 2 digit episode, we talk about current events including Queen Elizabeth II passing and how the world has responded as well as PnB Rock being the latest rapper to pass. Mainly in today's episode, we talk about a subject we all have to face often, rejection. Even the thought of rejection stops countless people from even attempting to take action towards their goals. All it takes is the exposure and repetition of facing rejection to realize how you can over come it. In this episode, we explore that tactics.

In this week's solo episode we talk about the upcoming NFL and College Football Season and the recent Dolphins VS. Eagles game the gang went to. Almost turning the page on 100 episodes we bring it back to the thesis of this podcast, bringing together people who are chasing their goals with all they have. The book Atomic Habits by James Clear has proved to be a standout in a sea of "self-help books". The ideas shared in this book have shown countless across many different avenues of life that they are founding principles to success. In this episode we explore them.

In this week's episode, Madison joins the podcast to finally put a face to the countless stories for which she is mentioned on the podcast.

Lastly, we debate the question of how quickly could one person go from homeless to survivable income.

This week on Idols To Rivals we talk about Twitter suing Elon Musk for $44 Billon for not acquiring them. We also talk about the book "Atomic Habit" by James Clear.

Once you find the qualities of the person you want to become you can transform into that person. New episodes every Wednesday!

In this week's episode, we start off by talking about what can happen when you are trying to impress people for no reason. After a few weeks of travel, the hosts have a few things to say about life in an airport and none of them are good.

Big things are coming and we are just getting started.

In this week's episode we are joined back again by long time host Shane and new comer to the podcast John Luciano.

Whatever obstacle is affecting you right now it can be almost impossible to see the silver lining. During that time where your back is against the wall is actually an advantage. The advantage is that you need not have to worry about what you need to do. The obstacle is the way. The obstacles will always be there, they are there to prepare you for the next level of your growth. Without them, there would be no reason to strive for greatness. Kepp your goal in sight and focus on one thing, one action, one step until you reach it.

First off would like to thank everyone that has been a part of this journey over the last 2 years. Whether you have listened, cohosted, or shared the podcast I appreciate every part of it. It has been an adventure that will continue for as long as it feels right. If you are working on something for yourself or others keep working.

In this weeks episode we talk about the SEC Championship and how being surrounded by the right people can not only change the environment but your mindset as a whole.

Visiting the Hard Rock Stadium was something I've looked forward to for years, and we will be back for more games. I have recently been listening to "The War of Art | Steven Pressfield" in which he uncovers something that affects us all without us realizing it. Resistance is the voice in our head that tells us not to chase our goal. Resistance tells us that there is more time and no need to rush. Identify resistance and shine the light on it. Do it with the fear!

Whether you have a friend trying to become a doctor or one who moved away to pursue acting, reach out and let them know you see them grinding. We all need support at the low and that is exactly when most support seems to disappear. Have your life be full of connections with people going for their goals. Having that energy in life will help you achieve yours 10 fold. You never know when someone is just as close to giving up as they are to succeed. Be on the team that told them to never stop.
