Fear gets talked about a lot. Rightfully so, it is a big obstacle for many to overcome. The human species have been facing our fears for thousands of years.

In this episode, Nick dives into Chapter 3 of “The Relentless Mindset” and discusses how we must approach fear for our benefit!
How you do anything is how you do everything! And, how you do anything is one step at a time. I often lose sight of the trees because I’m looking at the forrest. The big picture can overwhelm me and I have no idea how I’m going to accomplish the things I set out to. It’s only when I zoom in and focus on the small things I can do right now that the big picture comes to fruition.

However, we must never underestimate it’s ability to bring things to life. We must think …
In this episode, Nick comes to you from the Last Frontier of Alaska. He discusses his frustrations with the fitness industry and why he ultimately stepped away.

In life, there will be things that you’ll need to do that you may not exactly want to do. However, it’s important to take a step back and see how those things affect the overall picture. Each stage of life should serve that ultimate goal, allow you to learn and better yourself, and help others somehow along the way. This podcast is based off an article I recently wrote entitled, “Doing Things You Don’t Want to Do.” There will absolutely be things you’ll find yourself doing that you do not wish to.

Far too many times, we find ourselves in a funk. We’re unable to get anything done because we’re overwhelmed with all that there is to do. We’re so overwhelmed that we decide that the best thing for us to do is to get organized. If we could just get organized, we would become more productive or so we tell ourselves. The truth is that we’ll never be perfectly ready to start, continue or start over. The best course of action is to take action! I discuss this topic further in this “in-between-a-sode.” Enjoy.
