This podcast was inspired by a short reel I saw on Instagram of Gary V talking.   In this reel, he says, "if this is the first time you have heard of me and you plan on listening to me for the next 50 years, I'm going to talk about self-awareness, happiness, and work ethic!"  I heard that, and it got me thinking.   If I had to break my coaching down and what I'm about what would they be?   This is what I'm about:HealthHabitsHappiness Everything I coach is about these 3 topics.   I both pursue this in my life and strive to help others do this in their lives.   I share what I believe are the keys to happiness.   Give it a listen and let me know what you think.   If you want to learn more, check out "The Navy SEAL Bluprint For Overcoming The Odds" I put together.   Its "5 Rules So That You Can Operate Like A Warrior."  You can download it at:http://www.thesealblueprint.comPlease don't forget to leave a review wherever you listen to this.  Thank you for listening.

This episode was inspired by a quote that I read the other day:"If you continue this simple practice every day, you will obtain some wonderful power. Before you attain it, it is something wonderful, but after you attain it, it is nothing special." ~Shunryu Suzuki.I read that quote and it got me thinking about a conversation I had with some friends.  (Sharran Srivatsaa and William Branum).   They were basically calling me out for not sharing interesting stories of my past.   And this isn't the first time they have called me out.   This quote spoke to me and made me think about why that might be.  And what I thought I would share with you are the 3 truths I believe you will come across as you accomplish great things.   You must be clear on what you wantYou must do deliberate practice consistentlyYour perspective on what was great (or challenging) will change. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.   Download "The Navy SEAL Blueprint for Overcoming the Odds" here:http://thesealblueprint.com/
