More Than Different Podcast

It's been a few months since Colin and Brendan have been on the pod but it feels pretty damn good to be back!! A lot has transpired since we last recorded an episode so we had to do a brief recap of our First Annual MTD Basketball Tournament on August 7th, as well as give an update on Colin's transition into the real world and Brendan now a college student in Boston.Our latest clothing drop featured a hoodie that reads "Authentic not Perfect". Authenticity is a superpower we can all choose to possess. It is rooted deep inside of us but always lingers; it's waiting to be beamed into the world. We discuss extensively what being Authentic, not Perfect means and how it aligns with our mission of being More Than Different.ANP Hoodie is available here!!We will be coming out with episodes weekly, so stay tuned for all that is ahead with MTD!!We're so back.https://mtdlifestyle.comhttps://www.instagram.com/mtdthemovem...https://www.twitter.com/mtdlifestyle/

The long awaited final episode of the Lifestyle segment of our podcast is finally here. Colin and Brendan discuss the Law of Attraction which is not a proven concept but nonetheless, manifests itself in all our lives. Our behavior and outlook on things heavily dictate the people we surround ourselves with and the lifestyle we live. If you are a motivated person, naturally, motivated people will gravitate toward you. Our thoughts become ideas, ideas become actions, actions become habits and habits become lifestyle. Our situations can be derived from our own initial thoughts and they have the power to attract good and bad. We dive into the many ways the Law of Attraction presents itself in our lives.

Colin and Brendan had to hop back on the pod to talk about the NBA Finals, which shift to Boston for Game 3. We discuss the difficulty of guarding Golden State's potent offense, Jayson Tatum's production and the clear chess match between the teams. Let it be known that Brendan did in fact predict this finals matchup and his prediction of Boston in 7 still stands. It has felt like an eternity since the last parade in Boston so hopefully two weeks from now, we're looking at another parade and an 18th banner for the Boston Celtics. Enjoy this episode!!

Our lives are all filled with "noise" and what that noise is varies for everyone. Noise can refers to all the judgements, opinions and fears we inevitably face in our lives from people around us. We discuss how to best navigate and silence the noise and ultimately push through it. We control the power we give to the people around us and it is the opinions and voices of those who support you and allow you to be your authentic self who matter. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.(WOTD) Lionize -- To treat a person as a celebrity or as an object of great interest or importance.(BOTD) The Mamba Mentality: How I Play by Kobe Bryant(SOTD) Through the Noise - Five Foreignhttps://mtdlifestyle.comhttps://www.instagram.com/mtdthemovem...https://www.twitter.com/mtdlifestyle/

Colin and Brendan reveal some of the future plans for MTD which should excite everyone, especially all our hoopers out there. We pivot into a discussion on navigating the dull and tedious tasks we all face. These monotonous tasks, such as making your bed, are easy to do, yet often don't get done.

We dive into the power of the phone. The phone is something that everyone has on them at all times. At certain times, it feels like the phone is an extension of a limb. Some people become dysfunctional without their phone and the connection to the cellular world. Our phones are a mini computer that can be a huge asset in our lives if harnessed. Our innovative phones are a blessing and a curse and Brendan and Colin elaborate on the data that most don't know and best strategies behind managing negative phone usage.Word of the day: Colloquial - conversational, pertaining to, characteristic of, or used in spoke language, hence informal, casual, natural https://www.merriam-webster.com/dicti...Book of the day: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k by Mark Manson https://www.amazon.com/Subtle-Art-Not...Song of the day: Ex Factor - Lauryn Hill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE-bn...
