In this episode, Gerritt interviews Nick Long. Gerritt and Nick discuss the "virus of the mind", the importance of framing, and the process of letting go. Nick opens up about how the world broke him down and how he was able to get back on his own two feet. This process of standing back up starts with one initial step: a radically honest self-inventory of who we are.   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

In this episode, Gerritt discusses the classic need versus want dichotomy. As human beings, we have a tendency to focus on the outcome we desire and ignore taking the action which will actually get us there. Without the willingness to take responsibility for the individual steps associated with accomplishing our dreams, they will remain just that: dreams. --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses being permission-based. When we're young, we're expected to ask permission before we do certain things, depending on how old we are. This is usually done to keep us safe. While the habit of asking for permission is usually to keep us safe when we're young, it can have the opposite effect when we're adults.   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses the story of the 300 Spartans and the importance of taking responsibility. In life, we need to show up each day and be someone who takes responsibility for our actions but what does taking responsibility for our life even look like? Taking responsibility looks like getting enough sleep, eating right, exercising, being honest with ourselves, and having the humility to take the time to understand other perspectives. In short, being responsible means doing the work necessary to accomplish our goals, whatever they may be.   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister of the United Kingdon, and the importance of choosing sides. When we choose a side in life, we create a public symbol that shows others where we stand. This is important because publicly choosing a side has a tendency to naturally reveal those who stand with us and those who stand against us which is valuable information to understand.   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses his recent trip to Mexico with his wife and the three lessons he learned while on a snuba diving expedition. First, we control our environment; second, don't move too fast; and third, point of view is important. With the global health pandemic still going on, it can be easy to feel like we don't control our environment, we keep having to make changes to our business model just to stay relevant, and the sky is falling. Spoiler alert: it's not.   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business? It doesn't have to be that way.

In this episode, Gerritt discusses the pitfalls of self-fulfilling prophecies. In life, sometimes we're subject to a jarring experience which alters our worldview, for better or worse. In the worse case, it's not uncommon for the experience to consume us such that we build walls up around ourselves and what we believe we're able to accomplish. Are you ready to break down those walls and get after it?   --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business? It doesn't have to be that way.

Gerritt interviews Brad Gibb, co-founder of Tactical Cash Flow. Tactical Cash Flow "empower[s] those seeking a life of financial independence with the tools and strategies necessary to grow wealth, build cash flow, and create financial freedom." Additionally, Tactical Cash Flow has "debunked the archaic financial myths based on hope that are no longer effective in a modern economy and created a process to leverage the system.  Net worth is not, as we are made to believe, a measure of freedom.  True freedom allows you to spend time with the people you want, where you want, and when you want because your income isn’t limited to your time."   -- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

In this episode, Gerritt discusses the pitfall of hesitation. While it's important to take some time preparing to make a decision, it's also important to pull the trigger and do something. If we spend too much of our time planning, we risk overanalyzing a decision to the point where we don't do anything at all (which a decision in and of itself).   -- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses leadership delegation and growing pains. Leadership delegation is about empowering the people underneath you on the corporate organizational structure to make their own decisions and effectively employing it can be the difference between success or failure. When a company experiences rapid growth, the ceo can't be the only person responsible for making decisions anymore otherwise nothing will ever get done. Or at least not as quickly as it could. --- Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business? It doesn't have to be that way.

In this episode, Gerritt discusses his frustrations associated with the coronavirus. Since a global health pandemic was declared in March, governments around the world have shut down large swaths of their respective national economy. Thus, we've been subjected to less freedom than we're accustomed to here in the United States. This sudden change has come with seemingly contradictory information from the same government which is responsible for shutting everything down. This leads Gerritt to question the validity of the heightened sense of importance with which the coronavirus is being given.   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt interviews Joel Anderson, a former police colleague who currently operates a gym in Arizona. Joel has competed in the United States Police & Fire Championship, an Olympic style event for cops and firefighters, and won his division four years in a row. Gerritt and Joel discuss the importance of balance across all areas of life and dangers associated with becoming hyperfocused on any one thing.   Gerritt discusses the intersection of racism, policing, and how it relates to your life. Most cops and most protestors are decent people simply trying to live their lives but when we get caught up focusing on the bad apples in the bunch, we drift away from focusing on the solutions necessary to deal with the root of the problem. This applies to business, marriage, and a family too.   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business? It doesn't have to be that way.

Gerritt discusses the "dirty work" behind every successful person. Often times when we see the success of others, it's easy to look past all the hard work it took for them to get there. But any person who has achieved professional and personal success will tell you that most of the work required to get there is not easy. Getting up at early, jogging that extra mile, doing an extra set at the gym, staying late at work, or taking the time to be introspective enough to understand the toxic aspects of our personality aren't suggestions for success, they're necessary (to some degree or another).   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses how external stimuli lead to internal health or decay. Since the pandemic began, it has been easier than ever to fall out of our healthy routines and into bad habits. The external stimuli which we feed our body, whether it be food, exercise, or even the people we surround ourselves with, shapes our internal health which subsequently shapes our external reality, for better or worse.   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses the unintended consequences. From raising the unemployment insurance payments by $600 per week to the housing crash of 2008 and the pandemic related lockdowns of 2020, the band-aid solutions prescribed to stemming the damage of these emergencies led to second and third-order effects with costs of their own. When we analyze the impact of these decisions, it leads us to wonder if they've caused more damage than they did to help. The same is true for our personal lives. Individual decisions that we make have first, second, and third-order effects. We must consider these possibilities if we are to accurately understand the implications of the strategy we are applying to a situation.   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Gerritt discusses deaths associated with railroad tracks and how not seeing the train coming until it's too late is a metaphor for coronavirus. Many businesses have found their business operations significantly altered due to coronavirus and the most prepared are those who squirreled away resources in the event of a major loss of revenue, such as the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, many businesses have found themselves stuck on the tracks as the train of coronavirus strikes at every part of the global economy.   Do you struggle to find the time to invest in yourself, family, AND your business?

Are you a leader? In this episode of the Tactical Businessman, Gerritt talks about the Rubber Band Effect and how it relates to leadership.

Gerritt was working long hours as a police officer. The job was intense and stressful. He’d come home at the end of the day exhausted after a long 13-hour shift, dealing with criminals and paperwork. He’d walk through the door, and it often felt like he was just met with a to-do list from his wife. He could tell his kids were growing more and more distant. Many nights they’d already be asleep when he got home. Then he started hitting up bars after his shift to unwind with a little alcohol. After a while, the alcohol wasn’t enough of an escape. He started getting depressed. So he met with a doctor who gave him some medication… which he abused with the booze. He started working longer hours to avoid going home where he’d have to face his failure as a husband and father. Nothing he did could fill the hole of inadequacy and emptiness he carried around with him. His marriage was falling apart. Eventually he even turned to another woman to give him what he wasn’t getting at home. It didn’t help. In fact, it made things worse. One day after a particularly long shift, he sat in his car in the parking garage and took a look at the gun on his belt… and he wondered if the world would be better without him. It was at that point that Gerritt decided to turn his life around. He decided instead of blaming people, substances, and circumstances for not filling the hole he felt in himself, he would take responsibility for filling it himself. Over several months and years he completely turned his life, and his marriage around. (To hear more about his story, listen to today’s podcast episode embedded above.) The POWERFUL lesson I was left with after I interviewed Gerritt is that the best way to transform your life, or your marriage, is by transforming yourself.
