Mark Haughwout and I have a problem with Rep. David Cooks attack in the Clean Elections Pamphlet. Mark shares some history on “Clean Elections”, or as he calls it, “Dirty Elections”. Why I've endorsed Eli Crane for re-election. The hypocrisy of “Stop Oil” activists who attack historic monuments while recording it on their plastic iPhones all while wearing cloths made with petroleum based products. Is working hard and hustling dead in America? We share our bad restaurant experience. And the Ten Commandments in public schools.

On this episode Ted and Barb welcome David Cooks, the founder of David Cooks Enterprises. David, a T-6 paraplegic, is a virtual and onside speaker, a certified business coach, and an award-winning author of the book Getting Undressed – From Paralysis to Purpose. In his book David encourages the reader to keep moving forward regardless of life's challenges and to put purpose into action by helping others. David attributes his positive attitude to his parents, faith, great friends and people who supported him along the way. According to David, you can have a positive outlook and still have some moments that aren't so positive, and that's OK, but you'll pass those and understand that you want to embrace the possibilities and not the impossibilities. Building relationships is the key to successful leadership. Life is about seasons. Teamwork is vital for the success. You win when you learn, and as long as you're learning, you are winning, and as long as you're keeping your standards where they need to be. One of the characteristics of a great leader is to be compassionate. We can be demanding without being demeaning.  Resources: https://www.healthandsafetynow.com/ (Total Health & Safety Solutions) https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-cooksspeaks-mba-20001210/ (David on LinkedIn) https://davidcooksspeaks.com/ (David's Website ) https://twitter.com/dcespeaks (David on Twitter)

Adversity doesn’t define you, but it can influence the road you take as you become who you are. That’s the belief of David Cooks, my guest on this episode of Talking Business Now. At the age of 15, David Cooks was a high school sophomore and a passionate basketball player. But then, he experienced a spinal aneurysm that left him as a T-6 paraplegic. From the beginning, David refused to let the wheelchair control his life. In his book, Getting Undressed: From Paralysis To Purpose, David shares his inspiring story of persistence, power of perspective and power of faith to demonstrate how obstacles should not define you and instead, should help you help others. He discusses how you can learn your own purpose and become a more effective leader by taking a break from your problems and challenges to help others with theirs. Here are just a few of the takeaways David offers in the podcast: Persevering through life’s challenges sometimes requires getting help. You’re not in it all by yourself. There is nothing wrong with small beginnings. Nothing is insignificant. Everything matters. Making adjustments on and off the court, and in life, are pivotal to success. Be willing to do things differently. Take advantage of whatever opportunity you’re given. How you handle success will determine how much success you can handle. What you are willing to sacrifice today is an indication of its value and where you are trying to go in the future. If it’s a priority, sacrifices are made; everything else gets excuses. Your ability will get you there, your character will keep you there, and it will stay with others long after you’re gone. It is impossible to live without failing at something, so don’t let that stop you from getting to your destiny. Embrace it, learn from it and get back in the line. David went on to receive his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and his MBA in finance from Duke University. He has coached at Duke University and has also spent time as an assistant basketball coach at Concordia College. David is the founder of David Cooks Enterprises, a speaking, coaching and training organization helping businesses and individuals put their purpose into action with clarity on teamwork, leadership and communication.

Getting Undressed: From Paralysis to Purpose with David Cooks At the age of 15, high school sophomore and basketball player David Cooks experienced a spinal aneurism, leaving him a T-6 paraplegic. Refusing to let the wheelchair determine the man, he made the decision to persevere from the very beginning–and he never let go of his passion for the game. In Getting Undressed, David describes his journey to independence and purpose, and how “getting undressed” for change can pose huge challenges, literally and figuratively. A story of inspiration and motivation. David shares his struggles and successes on and off the court–with honesty, perseverance, and faith.  For more information visit: www.davidcooksspeaks.com ************************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html
