I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dillon Mitchell this week. He has an incredible story of multiple endurance races as well as starting his own company and embarking on the path of Entrepreneurship. He has consistently spent his life pushing himself to acheive things beyond his limits while always keeping service to others at the forefront of his mind. Dillon embodies the never quit attitude and is always looking for opportunities to learn, adapt and grow. I was very blessed to have had this opportunity to interview him and highly recommend you follow him and his journey!

This week I welcome Freddie Bennett.  A man who has seen his fair share of hardships that nearly pushed him over the edge and take his life.  Through these struggles and watching his father pass away before his eyes, Freddie made the decision that something needed to change...and change it did.  Through hard work and dedication Freddie began to live a more positive lifestyle that has led him to run the world's toughest footrace (200 miles through the Sahara desert), Ultramarathons, Ironman competitions and more!  This is a story you DO NOT want to miss.

In this week's episode, we dive in to Mario's backstory as well as discuss unique exercises, mental health and our shared affinity for Redcon1.  Mario is an extremely kind and wise individual and it was an absolute honor and privilege to sit down with him and get to know the man behind one of my favorite Instagram channels.

In this episode, we reexamine a popular children's story and take a different approach to understanding and empathy.  We tend to find ourselves rooting for the hero and scolding the villain of each of these tales without ever knowing the full story.  This story gives us a larger glimpse in to the life of the main villain and serves to share greater detail in to how and why they became the villain.  It is my hope that you can take something away from this and learn to not judge others so quickly and try to understand and empathize with people.

Today we are joined by Emily Adams.  A power lifter and all around inspiration.  She has overcome so many obstacles in her life and has now found her true purpose....service to others.  Join me as we dive in to the incredible story of Emily's past and how she mad it to where she is today.

In this episode we discuss some simple steps/techniques that you can use in order to push past your limits.  Often times our brains tell us we can only go so far, and when this happens, we are only a fraction of the way to our potential.  4 simple steps can push you further than you think!

In this episode, we target your worthiness.  Through my own faults it is something I continue to struggle with "Am I worthy to help".  We often compare ourselves to others and think "They have it all figured out, I do not have what it takes to help".  This is something we must remove.  We all have a story that if we share and remain our authentic self, that we can help many people.  We must realize that a lot of people are currently in a position that we were at one point in our lives.  Through trial and error we made it out, and by simply sharing that, we can save lives and continue to progress ourselves.  START THE CHANGE NOW!

Have you ever stopped yourself from trying something new just because you didn't think you would enjoy it or it wouldn't work even though you have no experience with it?  If you truly want to excel in life it is imperative to keep an open mind and try new things without doubts, judgements, or fears.  You never know when you may come across the best thing to ever happen to you.

In this episode, I'd like to thank Bryan Parady for being our first ever guest.  Bryan has a great story of how he went from the small guy, to the strong and fit guy he is today.  He dedicated his life to fitness and works full-time, runs a business, has a wife and two kids and still finds time to elevate his fitness to new levels.  Through research, dedication and many failed attempts, Bryan learned how to properly lift and feed his body with the right foods to bulk up.  He was able to pack on over 40 pounds of LEAN MUSCLE!  He created an easy to understand guide for those out there just starting to work out that may not be the biggest and how you can begin your bulking journey today.  Head over to amazon for the Bones to Bulk Book today! You can also find Bryan on Social media platforms at Bones to Bulk and his website http://www.bonestobulk.com

In the world today, we are surrounded by so much negativity that we are seeing the effects on an entire generation of children.  We need positivity now more than ever and I believe this is where God and Religion collide.  Our thoughts and emotions can actually shape the world and reality around us.

Sure we breath everyday, but did you know breathing is one of the few ways that the body naturally detoxifies itself?  Through rhythmic breathing, there are NUMEROUS health benefits for the body, mind and spirit.  Join me as we discuss in detail these benefits and check out my YouTube video on proper deep breathing techniques. https://youtu.be/mj9yndMeQFg

Society today has taught us to avoid failure at all costs.  Even our brains are wired to avoid pain and take the "easier" path.  This episode discusses exactly what Failure is, why you MUST fail in order to succeed.  I am a firm believer that if you learn from your failures and never quit, then you can never lose!

Back after a long hiatus and ready to tackle 2020 with everything I have.  We are going to share a journey together and help one another unlock and find our true potential in life. What goals do you have? What are you most afraid of?

We all know that exercise is healthy for our body, but did you know all the mental and spiritual benefits of exercise?  Tune in as we discuss some of the lesser known benefits to exercise and why it is so important for EVERYONE to get out and move.

This episode focuses on The Spotlight Effect and why we tend to believe people think about and judge us FAR more than they really do.  Join me as we discuss why this is the case, and how you can begin to overcome this fear.

Do you have a hard time believing in your own abilities?  DO you often feel that others have everything figured out, while you just aren't good enough?  I am here to tell you that you are.  Through faith and positive reinforcement, you too can begin to believe in yourself and begin to make your dreams come true.

Have you been holding onto a grudge or blaming someone for something that happened in your life?  Did you know that holding on to that stress is causing long term health effects on YOU.  The power of forgiveness is not only the best give you can give someone, but the greatest gift you can give yourself.  Start forgiving today.

While I believe that most bad things that happen to us are just our state of mind, bad things still happen.  It's important to not let those bad things allow your emotions to control you, BUT its also important to do this when things are GOOD.  That's right, even when things are good we must not allow those emotions to control us.  When things are bad, we expect things to get worse.  When things are great, we are expecting more great.  Remove all expectations.  Be happy and blessed just to be alive....don't expect good or bad to last!

Fear is necessary for our survival, but we tend to let fear creep up in irrational places that stop us from being our true self.  I beleive when you encounter this fear, its a sign that you are on the right path and you MUST confront this fear.  When you confront and conquer this fear, the real you, and true happiness await on the other side.   Don't let fear control you, embrace it, face it, and conquer it.

In this episode I wanted to talk about motivation and why its useful as a temporary start, but not for sustained success.  You must find drive and purpose.  You must believe in you and stop trying to find the one answer to solve all problems.  It's quite common that are brain tricks us into thinking "The answer to all is out there", yes just take the right pill Neo!  We must fight against the easy path and do what we fear.    

In this episode, we explore some daily exercises and tips that you can do to be more accountable for the actions in your life and start making that positive change.  Not all these things may work for you, but I encourage you to try them.  Please let me know what you are taking away from this episode and trying in your daily life.

This introductory episode takes a look at my history and explores some of the hardships I endured to get where I am today.  I am an average man on the start of a journey to find his best self.  I hope in sharing my story, you too can begin to change your life and begin to live Purposefully.     Don't forget to like and subscribe!
