We had a lot happen over the last year or two and I decided it was time to make a little personal change!  As the times change so do we!   So the mission still remains the same but it is coming from a place of relatability.  These chats are about connecting and hopefully helping the people who are still "figuring it out".   Thanks for following along and i hope you enjoy!  More to come!

The Respectfully Selfish Podcast is back!  What is your new normal?!

Whats up everyone!? I have some exciting news! I have teamed up with a good friend of mine to discuss Respectfully Selfish topics! We are called "The Zen Heads".  I am crazy excited to merge these two projects together and create a super helpful platform!

I have f*cked up so many times in my life that i decided to tell you alitte bit about it. Most importantly I tell you what I have learned from it all and why i am wearing a christmas sweater and a pink bandana in May.

On this weeks episode we talk about what you arent doing.  You're not being selfish.  Let's take a look at how you can become more selfish during this time of isolation and become a better you...all while helping those around you!

Quarantine got you in a funk?  Heres what i am trying to do to get out of it.  Let me kow what your strategy is and maybe we can combine powers.  Become a quarantine super hero or something.  Could be neat. 

Guys and girls, please just use common sense during this time.  I am finding it hard to be respectful when I hear of the things people are doing/not doing right now.  Common. Sense. Please. 

What is happenin' everybody?!  This week we take a look at how to overcome set backs and adversity.  Each speedbump is another opportunity for us to learn how WE as individuals problem solve for our own lives.  Check it out and let me know what ya think!  IG:@benjmeyers

Everyone's a critic.  Everyone has their opinion.  However, so do you.  Your opinion about yourself and what you are accomplishing should outweigh any one else's opinions on you.  Let's start appreciating ourselves.

you. are. not. responsible. for. other. people's. happiness.   Remember that.

I got the chance to interview my business partner, Joe Colella on a sunny day in south FL.  We talk about why people aren't making the leap towards their own success, the benefits of stepping out on your own, and overall buffoonery of two best friends owning a business together.  Check it out and let us know what you think!

What is going on everybody?! This week we talk about how momentum plays a huge role in accomplishing not only goals, but mental clarity as well. One small step in the right direction creates a chain reaction.  Habits start to form, routines are developed, and most important of all, you align with the direction you want yourself to go.  Check out this episode and let me know what positive momentum you are creating this week!

On this episode of TRSP we remember Kobe Bryant and his mindset not only on the basketball court, but off of it as well.  So many lessons that I have learned have been from simply watching Kobe Bryant operate in every facet of life. We remember him by continuing to adapt his "Mamba Mentality" and relentlessly commit to our happiness.

A good friend of mine told me this past week that for all the work i do, i never actually value my time and get paid for it.  I took a step back and realized...she is 100% right.  By starting to value my time through this past week i have already seen tremendous changes in my professional and personal life.  I hope you start to make these changes with me and get on track to crush our 2020 goals and beyond!

Hey everyone!  This week we talk about why comparing yourself to other people is just slowing you down from achieving your goals.  What if i told you that by stopping this, it would increase the likelihood of reaching your personal goals my 75%?! Would that be something you might be interested in?

On this weeks episode we talk about how all of us have been villains in other peoples stories.  And thats a good thing!  That is how we learn what NOT to be.  So take a listen and reflect back on those times you were an awful person and why you refuse to be that person again.  Cheers to the new us!

This is the year we put the blinders on and block out all that negativity.  2020 is the year we achieve the things we always started with "i wish i could.."  No more wishing, all action, all the time.  Piggy back off me and let me help you get to where you want to go.  CHEERS to crushing 2020!

During this holiday season practice GRATITUDE.  That doesn't mean saying "thank you" for the gifts you receive.  That means being thankful for the people and things in your life.  All the hard work you put in this year should not be erased by the stress of gift giving and holiday pressure.  This is a time to be happy and thankful for everything this life has given you.

What is up everyone!  This week we are talking about how to stop apologizing for being yourself.  Stop thinking you should be certain places by a certain time in your life.  There is no timeline.  Keep your head down, work, and never apologize for being you.

On this weeks episode we discuss the topic of loneliness.  Loneliness has become a taboo word to use as a middle aged male and I want to break that barrier down.  It doesn't matter who you are because we all experience this emotion and unfortunately if you suppress it for long enough it will manifest its self into something more serious.  Lets talk about loneliness together!

On this weeks episode we talk about recognizing the difference between obligations and commitments.  Understanding the difference between the two is the difference between doing things that are meaningful in your life and doing things that are draining your time and energy. 

Something I feel we lack in this world is self accountability.  On this episode we talk about the differences between self accountability and self blame.  There is a big difference because one is self defeating and one helps you develop. Enjoy!

"You vs. Expectations" is a closer look into the expectations we are placing on other people. In return we are just letting ourselves down.  

"Acting In Your Own Skin" touches on that feeling of not recognizing yourself.  That feeling of being lost in your own world.  I share a personal journal entry that sheds some light into just where I was mentally 2 years ago.  I share updates on what is to come and what big moves are being made.  I hope you enjoy!
