Podcasts about extraordinary thoughts

Nicknames at my high school and neighborhood were horrible. I'm thankful I didn't have one.

Within the first 2 hours of my first day of high school I found out many things about my high school. I found out things that I'm very surprised now that I ever went back. My high school was a real life adult cartoon.

I got my first job at a early age. It was a easy yet strange place of employment. It only lasted one summer.

The Dewey Decimal System sucks.

My 3rd job lasted longer than my first two jobs. I worked in what I called "Hoods Kitchen"!!!

My second job was way better than my first job. It paid much more, it was at a popular restaurant and it was on the water front. All that didn't matter because the bad outweighed the good and it only lasted a short period of time.

As wild and crazy as my high school was there wasn't many fights and I only got into a few very small altercations.

I don't know if men have diaries but I'm going to have one. It's not going to be about current events but things from my past. High school, Work experience and a few other things. I just want to reminisce and tell funny stories. And so I won't forget. I'm going to start with highschool and since I'm not a writer I'm going to do it my own unique way. Here we go......

I went to a unique high school in my opinion.

It's finally here! In this episode I talk about the rebranding of "Extraordinary Thoughts for the Ordinary Mind" into Meech Speaks https://www.instagram.com/meech.speaks/ https://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Thought-Ordinary-Mind-ebook/dp/B08CF1CK8R/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=demetrius+thigpen&qid=1594622388&s=digital-text&sr=1-1

Today on the #goallin podcast we have a returning guest Demetruis Thigpen. I’m excited to have Meech back on the show today to talk about the book that he has just released called “The extraordinary thought from an ordinary mind.”As a little escape from the madness of the world we have a really great guest for you today. In fact our guest Meech is returning. Last time I really enjoyed our conversation as his mindset, beliefs and thought process was so reflective of mine and I think that is born out of both of us being in the military albeit in different services and countries!I love talking to and interviewing fellow service members. You might have heard the saying before that there is no such thing as an ex-soldier, and it’s true. No matter what you do after your time in the military, the training you learn, the mindset they teach and the experiences you have stick with you for the rest of your life.Sometimes these would rather have been forgotten or not experienced at all but for the most part what you learn sets you up really well and gives you the ability to learn just about anything that you put your mind to.The greatest skill that I took away was the mindset and the ability to learn how to do something. Those skills transferred well into the entrepreneurial world where you have to adapt, be flexible and change at a moment's notice. Nothing really bothers me in business because of that mindset and I do know that is a great trait to have taken away.If you haven’t heard the original interview with Meech pop on back a little to episode 109 and you can check it out there. On today’s show we’re going to cover his book and talk about the process of writing it and some of the headline topics.Throughout his service, Meech he has faced obstacles and overcame adversity; he’s also deployed to several different countries in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force.These tours along with many other challenges have transformed him into the man he is today. A Sergeant and Martial Arts Instructor Trainer within the United States Marine Corps, Meech has had the privilege to train, lead, guide, and mentor fellow Marines.Meech is also the host and creator of the podcast “Extraordinary Thoughts for the Ordinary Mind which is a podcast dedicated to help us become the version of ourselves that we were destined to be.As you’ll hear Meech is on a mission to empower millennials to overcome adversity, strengthen emotional muscles, and become relatable leaders within their communities.Website: https://www.meechspeaks.comiTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/extraordinary-thoughts-for-the-ordinary-mind/id1456021838Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7tEIfBOYBIMPj0VVT2JaNwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meech.speaks/Grab the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C97X2RY?fbclid=IwAR36hPuz9mtOEOP-TqF5dEHCwxy80zhSMD0HrglAGLebXkYFFchDsaQaMvk=======Find out more about Go All Inhttps://masterclass.goallin.com.au/https://www.facebook.com/groups/goingallin/https://www.goallin.com.au/https://www.youtube.com/goallin https://twitter.com/goallinpodcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robertnbrus/https://www.instagram.com/go_all_in_podcast/https://www.facebook.com/goallinpodcast/Outro track: If only I was a poet - Staffan Carlen

If there is one barrier in life that could prevent you from reaching your highest potential in life its what comes within not the challenges that are yet to be overcome. This is a persons ego....this has many definitions in modern day psychology such as a person's sense of self-esteem or self importance and a part of the mind that is responsible for a humans sense of reality and personal identity. When left unchecked however we can become slaves to our ego. How is this bad? It augments our sense of reality, Leaves us ignorant to other peoples constructive criticism, robs us of creativity, and changes the way we face problems.In this episode we address how to keep our egos in check with Motivational Speaker, Sergeant and leader of United States Marines, and podcast host of "Extraordinary Thoughts for the Ordinary Minds" we formulate solutions for controlling the human ego through real life lessons learned and a few case studies of the well known entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee). So please..leave your ego at the door on this one.Follow Demetrius on IG: @meech.speaksPodcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/extraordinary-thoughts-for-the-ordinary-mind/id1456021838Follow your podcast host on IG@_chris_gonzales

Demetrius Thigpen grew up in Detroit, Michigan with a mother he describes as single. His father, said Demetrius, was an alcoholic. And while he was in and out of Demetrius and his sister's lives, Demitrius said the experience of on-again off-again fathering was like having a bandaid continually ripped off. At one point, Demetrius said, he remembers his mother stopping on the side of the road and calling his father - sitting outside a liquor store - to get into the car with them. His father was so so drunk, said Demetrius, that he didn't even recognize them.Before the age of ten, Demetrius recalls being sat down by his father and told that it was time for him to become the man of the house. "I could never do that to my children," Demetrius said of the experience. Now a U.S. Marine, Demetrius is also the father of three children, and is often stationed away from them. With his family living in Arizona at the moment and himself stationed in California, Demetirus said he struggles with not being able to be physically present for his children as much as he'd like but he reminds himself that his physical absence is what puts food on his family's table, and he tries not to think of it as what keeps him away from the table himself. Demetrius is also a fellow podcaster, and his podcast, "Extraordinary Thoughts for the Ordinary Mind," can be found here. Demetrius just entered his third season and you have to give his podcast a listen. It's got a ton of killer reviews and let me just add mine here: it's inspiring, and Demetrius has a lot of great commentary on how we can stop holding ourselves back from becoming the best possible versions of ourselves. It's uplifting and will make you feel great, even in quarantine. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/twomomsdaydrinking)
