Tuesday's with Cor(e)y

You can sink...or you can rise and conquer when unforeseen events happen. Kim is someone who had two very major and traumatic things happen to her yet she is still here to share her story on how she took something that many people wouldn't or couldn't navigate. Listen in and learn a valuable lesson on finding your personal "non-negotiable" routines that make your day better and your outlook on life more positive. 

This episode takes us into a conversation with our friend Evan who comes with experience in the military and law enforcement. Being in these two careers comes with tough moments, but also rewarding opportunities. Life lessons are discussed, healthy coping mechanisms are brought forth, and laughs are shared. 

Catch up with us on a pleasant ride down memory lane as we recap lessons learned from our 16 episodes in season one so far. Grab some popcorn and your favorite drink, kick back, and recap your favorite parts too. Don't worry, season one still has plenty of guests to come! 

This episode provides a unique perspective on goals and how they create perpetual habits. Think back to episode 1 - creating 5-self improvement goals. How attainable were they and what habits have become reality from then to now. We have work to do! 

Two words: Kraig Hale. Talk about a conversation that went sideways! If you know him, you already know, this one is worth listening to. It's filled with his top five and a bonus goal of "to stop being so gross". He has a lot of work to do on the bonus goal, listen closely throughout the episode to see what we mean. Hale is one of the good ones, one that you pick right back up with even when you haven't seen him in months. Find that person and keep them close! 

Strong educators make a strong impact on your future self. We got the opportunity to catch up with Cory and Corey's high school principal, who now, is the Superintendent of their local school district. Brent Welker shares insights on a logical mindset of E+R=O. The event that occurs plus how we respond to the event equals an outcome. Events are always going to happen. YOU choose how YOU respond. Your response always creates an outcome. This is something every person can start to incorporate into life decisions and will shape positive outcomes in some tough situations. As Welker said to us every day..."make it a great day or not, the choice is yours!"

How long is your to-do list? You HAVE to take care of your family, take care of yourself, run a household, and go to work. Have you ever thought about shifting that thought to " I GET TO" do those things? Having a "GET TO" attitude will change your prospective on living a meaningful life. 

We are quick to place judgement on a person based on either a single interaction or by the way they look. That type of quick assessment does not get to the core of who a person is and what they are capable of doing. Moral of the story... don't judge a book by its cover. Hard work and a "give it your all" type of attitude to follow your dreams is what Machiah did. Can you?

Our friend Jesse provides solid insight on how to use self-awareness to know your strengths and weaknesses. How you choose to use those assets to better yourself and others is up to you. But are you willing to self-evaluate yourself and be open to being a better version of you? If you were to define the legacy, you want to leave behind for your future generation, would you want that story to be told, or thrown away? "The Lion is never the victim". 

Kim took a very tragic event and turned it positive for her personal wellbeing. That's hard. But clearly, doable. Listen in as this Physical Therapist and CrossFit junkie shares her story of how easy it really can be to make important decisions that will benefit your mind and body. 

Ever find yourself getting caught up in your own thoughts of comparing yourself to others? Urning for something bigger, better, or more extravagant than what is right in front of you? We are diving in with Andrew to share real life experiences of how life changing it can be to become in tune with nature and in sync with your surroundings. Catch some Vitamin D with us on this one. 

Alright....this episode is heavy. But important! Both Corey and Cory have getting back on track with their spiritual journey in their top 5. "Sir" Dave joins us as our friend but what we say as a leader in his faith. We have some logical take aways and thought provoking statements, not all related to spiritualty, that we hope allow you to build your foundation and grow as a better human in this wild world. 

"I can't, I don't have time". How many times have you said that phrase? A lot? Yeah, us too. We are discussing the topic of time and priority management, finding your life purpose, and the power of creating and living your life mission. AJ joins us this week and gives us a sneak peek into his powerful suggestion of creating that mission and leading my example. 

Your attitude toward your day to day interactions impacts your mood and those around you. Finding the positive within every situation can be challenging but are you up for it? We have a challenge for you this week, listen to find out what it is. 

When is the last time you evaluated who you have in your circle to hold you accountable? This week we have Nolan on to chat about the ways we three hold each other accountable every day. Will the power of positive peer pressure persuade us to reach some of our personal goals? We will find out. 

Cory wants to spend less time being connected to a devise and scrolling through social media. Corey is almost completely against using social media. Listen as they discuss how social media and connection not only can waste time but become distracting in almost every situation. 

One of the shared self-improvement goals is to become less cluttered and more organized. Cory and Corey talk with special guest "Macko" on how she has created habits that keep her organized and in control. They might sound extreme to some or relatable to others. Be Better!

The best podcast in the 43443! Episode one will set the stage of why we are here and what we want to work on to be better humans. You're here, so listen in and come along for the ride. BE BETTER!
