Small Consistent Actions

LaRussell Thomas (Formerly Tota) has been writing rhymes since the second grade.  Today, 27-years-old, LaRussell has been working on his craft consistently for over two decades.  His love for music and dream of being heard began its realization in 2018 shortly after he released his first project with the world.  Sitting on a park bench, hearing his songs blasting on a stranger's stereo was a tipping point in his self-belief and overall journey.  He is consistency.  He is hope.  He is inspiration.  He is independence.  He is good vibes.  And today he is on the High Performing Student Podcast talking about his artistry, creative process and personal belief system.

Attendance and intentional practice are key.  Don't let these simple words fool you, because although they sound simple, they are not easy.  In fact, it's incredibly easy to do the opposite; be absent and train without focus and purpose.  I've been boxing six times per week for the past 45 days and sometime in the next 6-12 months, I will have my first amateur fight.  I'm nervous but also extremely excited about this new athletic journey.   ----------   Never miss a podcast episode: podcast.samdemma.com Connect with Sam: Instagram Youtube Email

Since the age of 13, I've been making decisions that many people disagree with.  I've made decisions that, from the outside looking in, seem insane.  These include turning down massive opportunities, moving away from my family to chase my dreams, and dropping out of university.  I can confidently tell you that these were the best decisions of my life, but when making these decisions, I struggled.  There were nights when I wouldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about making the wrong choice.   Tune in to today's episode to hear more about my decision-making process and why I think making big decisions is not a thinking exercise. ----------   Never miss a podcast episode: podcast.samdemma.com Connect with Sam: Instagram Youtube Email

I believe that you and I walk around and experience life with an invisible backpack strapped to our shoulders.  In this bag, we carry our experiences along with the thoughts and opinions that other people give to us.  Some good and some bad.  The negative opinions and hurtful words become bricks that weigh us down and overtime can stop us from moving at all.  Over time your backpack fills up, and if you don't stop to remove the things that were never yours, to begin with, you may end up living a life that's not yours and falling short of your true potential.   Today's episode is all about emptying your backpack and re-packing it with the things that will help you.  ---------- Never miss a podcast episode: podcast.samdemma.com Connect with Sam: Instagram Youtube Email

At the age of nine, Hannah launched her blog, Call Me Hannah, to share her growing concern for environmental issues and show that small, everyday actions can lead to big change. Today, at 17-years-old, she has emerged as an activist, impassioned public speaker and author. Hannah uses her voice and platform to motivate and empower people of all ages to identify their passion and take action for a better world. “I believe we all have the capacity and responsibility to create change. I don’t care how old you are, how young you are, where you live or how much money you have. The ability to create change does not discriminate; it’s in everyone.” — Hannah Alper. Just as Hannah does not limit herself to one issue or platform, she is not bound geographically. While she calls Toronto home, she has travelled across North America over 35 WE Day shows and delivered keynote presentations at schools, conferences and corporations. Her passion for community and desire to be fully engaged drew her to spend time in Kenya with ME to WE and Costa Rica with National Geographic. Nothing inspires Hannah more than her peers who answer their own calls to action, and she surrounded herself with them as she participated in the Teen Vogue Summits in Los Angeles and New York City. In November 2017, Hannah released her book, Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change, based on her conviction that one person, one action, one moment can make a difference. Through sharing her own journey and stories from her role models, Hannah provides tangible, real-life, and current examples that back up this idea. This book is more than a “how-to” guide; it gets to the heart of what sparks people to create change. Momentus features 19 exclusive interviews with activists, youth change-makers, and celebrities such as Malala Yousafzai (Nobel Peace Prize Winner), Lilly Singh a.k.a. Superwoman (YouTube Creator and author), and Blake Mycoskie (Founder and Chief Shoe Giver, TOMS), the book highlights practical examples of the power of positive change in the world, whether large or small. Hannah lives just outside Toronto with her parents and two dogs and is a local public school student. You can find her sipping on frozen hot chocolates with her friends at the local cafe or on Twitter and Instagram; she’s @ThatHannahAlper. ------ Want access to the free High Performing Student minicourse? ->www.samdemma.com/hps-minicourse Want to win $500?  I've partnered with the Student Life Network to bring you the High Performing Student Scholarship
