That's Why You're Awesome

This weeks guest is one of if not the biggest business influence in my life. I've been lucky enough to have known her for almost 10 years now. She's the owner and CEO of LeTip International. The largest family owned and operated networking business in the United States. She's a wealth of knowledge with business and just life in general. She's so genuine and down to earth, she's one of my favorites, I hope you all enjoy.

What a fun episode this was. Some long time friends Austin and Steph were nice enough to join me this evening. 3 hour time difference from AZ to NC but they are great. They spent a good amount of time on the road as a "Full Time Family" and they shared some of their stories. One of my favorite lines was when Austin said "It seems like life for us really started, the day we pulled away from our old home". Powerful stuff and even more powerful was this families vision and drive to see one of their biggest dreams come true. From dream boards, and house purging, to amazing memories and awesome sunsets on the road. I think Steph's quote from one of their pictures on the road sums up the experience for me speaking of the kids, "If they only learn one thing from this beautiful adventure......Let it be to always stop and watch the sunset". Enjoy

This week I sat down with my good buddy Steven Boyd. He's a financial planner and shared some of the basics to becoming financially secure and free. I love talking with Steven, he's always been my financial lighthouse, helping me plan for the future and know what's going on in the world. Hope you enjoy the episode.

This week I got the chance to sit down with one of the biggest influences on my life. He's been my scout leader, youth leader at church, neighbor, boss, mentor, but most important a great friend and source of knowledge through the years. Scott Giles is a one of a kind, and hope you all enjoy the episode. He even busted out the Native American cedar flute and played us a little song. Great times and another one just for me.

Jenna joined us for another fun episode. We got a chance to talk a little more about the accountability network that is building around us. It's the greatest thing and gives us so much strength. We talked about many of the things that we do on a regular basis to stay active and healthy. We talked about some of the great hikes and experiences that we have had. Always a pleasure having her on the pod.

This weeks guest is Micah Adams. We've been friends since high school and he's pretty awesome. Its amazing how you can be apart for pretty much 20 years, but pick right up where you left off. I've bumped into Micah 2-3 times over the years but through the beauty of social media have been able to keep in touch and watch each others lives work themselves out. He's gone through some amazing life challenges and has came out the other side a better human being! His story of triumph, and loss, self discovery, health crises, new talent discoveries, travel, unbreakable bonds, and mental toughness. I hope you guys love Micah as much as I do. Enjoy.

This episode was just for me! If no one else listened to this, I wanted the chance to sit down with my Grandaddy. He's 95 turning 96 this year and showing no signs of slowing down. But just in case he's here in Arizona visiting and I told him I wanted an hour of his time to pick his brain. He's a Navy vet, a Fireman, a Farmer, an amazing musician, and even better one heck of a grandpa. He's lived a full life and has so many people around who love him. He told some great stories I've never heard before, hope you all enjoy this as much as I did.

This week I sat down with Ian Dawson. A good friend who's life story from a young kid, up until know is such an awesome example of making the best of every situation you're put into. No matter if that's by your own life choices or those hard ones that you're just put into to figure out. His perspective on things is an example to me and I can't wait for you all to hear it, and love this guy as much as I do. He shared life experiences as a child, serving the people of Georgia on a church mission, and some great perspectives as an adult and raising some great kids. Enjoy!

This weeks guest is one of my closest friends and they don't get much better than this dude. We could talk forever and actually we kinda did. We had been talking for over an hour before I remembered to hit record. He has so many great life experiences, glad he could share a few with us on the Podcast. There are those pivots in life, sometimes they're professional, sometimes financial, sometimes personal, or maybe all 3 at the same time. I'm grateful to Jeremy and the awesome people in my life who've taught me well and how to manage them well. Thankful for this awesome network of people we are building as a support to so many.

I sat down this week with professional golf Audra Kepler. She recently completed the 75 Hard program that has not only been a game changer for her both physically and mentally, but for me as well. She was one of the people I saw that motivated me to do the program that has changed my life. We sat down and talked about our journey through this truly personal development and personal exploration process. Grateful for her time and sharing her story.

This week I sat down with Betsy Kelly. With this past week being National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, she shared some of her own struggles through the years. I was blown away by her strength to talk about something so personal, but we know there is someone that this episode will reach. Betsy is working her way back through the ranks on the women's professional golf circuit and cant wait to see her out on the LPGA real soon. This was a powerful episode, enjoy.

On this weeks episode I sat down with my good buddy Ben. An 18 year veteran of the Police force and going on 8 years as a hostage negotiator we talked about the power of listening to people. Finding common ground no matter what the situation. I feel like this is a powerful episode that could lead to a lot of good. Find those accountability partners in your life, reach out, let them know you got their back.

In this weeks episode I sat down with licensed therapist Chad Metz. We talked about what lead him to get into his profession and the benefits of therapy in someones life. He had some great quotes for life and some awesome insights to being true to yourself and finding true happiness. I had a great time during this episode, hope you enjoy getting to know him as well.

This episode I had as a guest my sis-in-law Annie. She has had an incredible journey over the past year. Finding not only herself, but also a new passion for health, nutrition, fitness, and using that energy to bless her kids life and those around her. It was a great conversation, Annie's awesome.

This episode dives into the world of life after divorce. How to cope, how to find your inner peace, but most of all how to find yourself.
