Podcasts about important now

Send us Fan MailChaos at work doesn't just scramble priorities, it shrinks a leader's ability to think. We sit down with coach and author Madeleine Blanchard to get intensely practical about what helps when everything feels urgent and noisy: classic coaching tools, simple models, and the kind of questions that create instant clarity without turning coaching into advice-giving.We dig into why leaders sometimes complain that “all my coach does is ask questions,” and how coaches can use frameworks to ask better questions and help clients move faster. We talk through the Eisenhower Matrix for urgent versus important decisions, plus the sphere of control and the often-missed middle ground of influence. If you coach inside organizations or support executive coaching clients, these tools can turn a stuck conversation into a focused plan.Madeleine also brings back an oldie-but-goodie that still holds up: the Johari Window. We connect it to self-awareness, trust, authenticity, and how leaders can narrow blind spots. From there, we explore how to work with 360 feedback and assessments without getting lost in the instrument, using clean questions like “What if it were true?” and “What are you making it mean?”We wrap with playful accountability ideas (including WIN, “What's Important Now”) and book recommendations for coaches who love models and want a deeper toolkit.

How do elite leaders stay calm when everything is falling apart? Former Pennsylvania State Police SWAT Commander and NASA Kennedy Space Center tactical leader Bill Young joins The MisFitNation to share the lessons he learned from over 31 years of leading high-performance teams in high-risk environments. This conversation goes far beyond law enforcement. Bill breaks down the principles that apply to leadership, business, military service, emergency response, and everyday life. Inside this episode:

Hi, I'm Jeff Ikler, host of the Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity podcast. This summer, I'm periodically releasing mini-episodes that, in under 10 minutes, dive into an evergreen idea from a previously broadcast episode. The content in these mini episodes is designed to be readily applicable to your life or work. This week's episode was inspired by a conversation with educator Dr. Deb Gustafson in December 2019, when she explained how, as a principal, she had applied Jim Collins' flywheel principle from Good to Great in her elementary school. The idea The flywheel is an individual's, team's, or organization's intentional ordering of only five to six key, repeated actions to achieve desired outcomes. Critical to success is the idea that the first action triggers the next, which in turn triggers the next. Each action is thus dependent on the one that came before it. What prompted Deb's effort was her recent inheritance of the district's worst-performing elementary school. Rather than throw a series of unrelated strategies at the problem, Deb used the flywheel as a thinking tool to help her architect a plan for sustainable improvement. Two important principles of the flywheel concept are ONE, a clear explanation of the desired result toward which everyone in the organization can work, and TWO, the selection of the all-important priority step from which the remaining elements cascade. Here's how the two elements played out in Deb's planning. After studying her student population, Deb realized that her students were extremely dispirited, lacked self-esteem, and felt they had no future. Given those findings, she decided that the desired result couldn't just be a lofty academic goal; it had to reflect the needs of the whole student. So she structured the desired results as: "Help kids become the best people they can be." Deb decided that, to achieve the desired results, the all-important priority step in the flywheel had to be hiring teachers who loved kids. As she told me, "I can teach people how to teach, but I can't teach them how to love. What these kids needed was to feel valued and capable of succeeding. If we did that well, academic success would follow." I've included Deb's flywheel model in the show notes on my website. Take a minute to review the steps and how they were designed to achieve the school's desired results. And the results, you ask? Deb's school quickly became the district's highest-performing elementary school, and her approach served as a model for other leaders and schools throughout the district. Extending the idea The beauty of the flywheel is that it constrains thinking to what is essential to bring about desired results. Instead of wild brainstorming that results in "We could do this and this, and this," the flywheel demands discipline: "If we do these few things in this order really well, we'll increase the likelihood of success." But imposing that limitation is really challenging for lots of organizations. Author of the essential read, Essentialism, Greg McKeown argues for a relentless pursuit of "less, but better." One of the biggest mistakes he notes is to dilute what is important by having "priorities." Here he explains the surprising history of the word priority and how its meaning has shifted over time: The word "priority" came into the English language in the 1400s. It was singular. It meant the very first or prior thing. It stayed singular for the next five hundred years. Only in the 1900s did we pluralize the term and start talking about priorities. Illogically, we reasoned that by changing the word we could bend reality. Somehow we would now be able to have multiple "first" things. One of the strategies that I really liked from McKeown's book is the idea of W.I.N. : asking yourself "What's Important Now?" Yes, it's a very mindful question because it helps us from sliding back into the unresolved past or ruminating about the yet-to-be-seen future. As McKeown concludes "It is mind-bending to consider that in practical terms, we only ever have now." And W.I.N.? is a flexible question in that it can be asked relative to the macro level of life where we're constantly trying to bring work, play, family into harmony and flow. (Note, I don't say "balance" because there ain't such a thing, is there?) And it can be asked at the micro level regarding all those discrete work or home projects staring us in the face. So…push yourself a bit, and ask "What's Important Now?" For inspiration, you can always watch the famous clip from the movie City Slickers, which never fails to get the juices flowing.

WIN — What's Important Now In this episode of the Three Word Podcast, Lisa Thal shares a powerful mindset shift around the word WIN — What's Important Now. Winning is not always about the scoreboard, the title, the promotion, or the big milestone. Sometimes winning is having the courage to pause and ask, What matters most in this season of my life? Lisa reflects on a LinkedIn post she shared one year ago and how focusing on her WIN helped her make decisions aligned with what mattered most: starting her Mindset and Sales Coaching business, helping care for her 95-year-old mom with dementia, and creating more time with her wife, Olivia, and their pup, Denali. This episode explores the difference between pursuing and avoiding. Avoidance may feel safe in the moment, but pursuit creates momentum. When we focus on what is important now, we begin to win in ways that are more meaningful and aligned. Three Takeaways 1. Pause before you react. Busy does not always mean productive. Ask yourself what matters most right now. 2. Choose pursuit over avoidance. Identify one thing you have been avoiding and take one small step toward it. 3. Define winning for this season. Your WIN may look different today than it did a year ago, and that is okay. Reflection Question What is your WIN right now? Not someday. Not when everything is perfect. Not when fear disappears. What's Important Now?   Until Next Time. Connect with Lisa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisathal/ http://threewordmeetings.com http://threewordpodcast

Your business is running you. Not the other way around.Steve Duncan spent 20 years in the same company but built three different businesses. His secret? He stopped playing defense and started playing offense.Here's what that actually means: You're either dictating what happens in your business, or you're reacting to everything thrown at you. One feels like control. The other feels like drowning.In today's episode, I'm joined by Steve Duncan, Managing Director of C Studios. After starting as an intern, Steve has launched three entrepreneurial ventures by staying on offense – even when everything around him screamed "just react and survive."The frameworks we unpack:Instinct vs impulse: One builds your business, the other destroys itThe activator trap: Why fixing everything immediately keeps you stuckThe 10-minute rule: Why breakthrough thinking feels unproductive at firstThe Monday WIN list: What's Important Now (and how it connects to your annual goals)When playing defense is actually okay (and how to get back on offense fast)Steve's view is simple: You can never be on offense all the time, but aim for 60/40, maybe 70/30 on a good week. When you're only spending 20-30% of your time on offense, that's where it gets concerning.

Ever feel like your mind is running the show—and not in a good way? We sat down with clinical psychologist and author Ross White to unpack psychological flexibility, a practical skill that helps you have difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking the actions that matter. Instead of fighting your inner weather, Ross shows how to bend like a tree: anchored in the moment, willing to feel, and empowered by values and purpose.Ross breaks down his AWE framework—Anchored, Willing, Empowered—and connects it to a vivid tree metaphor: roots for presence, a trunk that sways with emotion, and a crown that gathers energy for growth. We explore TEAM WIN (Treat Emotions As Messengers, What's Important Now) so fear, anger, and sadness become signals rather than stop signs. From elite sport to everyday life, Ross explains how to navigate the three motivational modes—get, threat, and reset—so ambition doesn't slide into burnout and recovery becomes a strategic advantage.You'll learn how wonder, gratitude, and compassion act as reset tools, why journaling and mindfulness build meta‑awareness, and how two simple questions can calibrate your effort: Which mode am I in right now, and which AWE skill helps me stay or switch? Ross also offers a timely reframe on meaning: purpose isn't found, it's formed. By experimenting with small, values‑based moves, you avoid the arrival fallacy and let multiple purposes evolve over time. Strong intention, light attachment becomes the mantra for sustainable growth.If you're ready to branch toward what matters—without breaking—tune in and take notes.

In this extremely motivational episode of the Project Purple Podcast, host Dino Verrelli speaks with Michael Kennedy of Vermont, a lawyer and avid runner whose 20 years on the roads and trails unexpectedly prepared him for the toughest marathon of his life: pancreatic cancer. Michael shares how his story began in 2023, a year packed with long runs, two marathons, and a 100‑mile relay. But when back pain crept in after the relay, he brushed it off as age or overtraining. But within weeks, his symptoms escalated: rapid weight loss, changes in digestion, and eventually, a scan soon confirmed what no runner expects to hear: a tumor was on his pancreas. He recounts how his diagnosis in October 2023 launched him into treatment with the same discipline he'd honed as an athlete. Michael reflects on the months of chemotherapy, the neuropathy that forced him to wear mittens just to grab milk from the fridge, and the exhausting stretch of radiation—all to make surgery possible. In June 2024, he underwent a Whipple procedure with an innovative addition he advocated to have: a cutting‑edge CIVASheet radiation implant that allowed him to avoid post‑surgery chemo. Michael also describes how, even through treatment, he kept running. Running became a lifeline: “It's not gonna take the things from me unless it beats 'em out of me,” he says. He explains how discovering Project Purple gave him something to look forward to: a goal of finishing a marathon in the same calendar year as his Whipple surgery. Just months after leaving the hospital, he crossed the finish line of a December marathon in Jacksonville wearing a Project Purple singlet, and has since completed other races with the organization. In this conversation, Mike opens up about scanxiety, hope, and the power of staying positive. He discusses how his runner's mindset and experience being a high school basketball coach have taught him that you can do hard things one step at a time, which helped him through chemo and into recovery. And he offers practical advice: know the symptoms, and when life hands you a challenge, focus on WIN: What's Important Now. Mike's story is one of three Ps: positivity, perseverance, and the unexpected ways our passions can prepare us for life's biggest battles. You can find Mike on Instagram at: http://instagram.com/mkennedyvt/ Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast to hear more stories from the pancreatic cancer community.

For many business owners, being busy isn’t just a reality – it’s a status symbol. Ask any tradie how business is going, and you’ll hear: “Mate, flat out! Non-stop. Can’t keep up.” And there’s a certain pride in that. Like if you’re not run off your feet, you mustn’t be doing well enough. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Busyness isn’t a business strategy.

In this episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters" podcast, our hosts engaged in a dynamic conversation centered around a fundamental business concern: "Am I working hard on the right things?" Jennifer, Daniel, and Patricia dove deep into the intricacies of strategic planning, priority management, and effective execution in the context of professional endeavors. Daniel offered a strategic perspective, emphasizing the importance of aligning tasks with overarching business objectives and using the acronym "WIN" (What's Important Now) as a guiding principle to ensure that his efforts are consistently focused on what truly matters. He underscored the necessity for small business owners to make decisions that propel their businesses forward while acknowledging the plethora of tasks vying for their attention. Patricia echoed this sentiment, highlighting the significance of periodic self-realignment and the need to distinguish between tasks that advance strategic goals and those that amount to mere "busy work." She emphasized the criticality of identifying tasks that only the individual can effectively tackle and delegating or scheduling the others appropriately. The hosts delved into the concept of the "incomplete list," a term coined by Jennifer's coach, James Malinchak, which challenges the traditional notion of a to-do list and encourages constant reflection and reprioritization. They expounded on the idea of focusing solely on the top priority, as advocated by Warren Buffett, to maximize productivity and drive results. Throughout the episode, the hosts dished out an array of actionable insights, life hacks, and practical tips for aligning one's efforts with strategic objectives, making informed task-related decisions, and leveraging accountability to ensure continuous forward momentum. If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or professional seeking to elevate your productivity and ensure that your efforts are channeled effectively, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom. Tune in for an enriching discussion that promises to equip you with invaluable tools to work smarter, not just harder, in pursuit of your professional goals.

The Power of Next Play Speed: Graham Betchart's Strategy on Overcoming Mistakes In this episode of "Coaching Youth Hoops" with host Bill Flitter, special guest Graham Betchart discusses the importance of mental skills training for youth basketball players.  Betchart emphasizes the need to provide and offer mental training exercises consistently, even if initially, kids may not be interested. He believes that although children may not be fully conscious or aware at a younger age, the lessons will start to click later on. Betchart encourages coaches to be patient and persistent in offering and providing information, as it may take time for individuals to become aware and interested.  Betchart suggests allocating 5 minutes per practice towards mental training, bookending practice sessions with 2 minutes dedicated to mental training exercises at the beginning and end. He introduces a mental training exercise called the WiFi walk, where the team does a series of breathing exercises and walks back and forth on the court while focusing on feeling their feet on the ground to become more present and focused before practice. The speaker also discusses the concept of "next play speed" and the importance of moving forward in the game. He shares examples of basketball players, like Aaron Gordon, who have improved by practicing this skill. Betchart highlights the importance of being competitive with a positive attitude and "competitive compassion" towards referees, creating a positive relationship with them. Throughout the episode, Betchart emphasizes the significance of building a positive mindset, being fully present, and choosing a response rather than reacting. He provides various exercises, such as visualization and positive self-talk, to help players stay focused and engaged. Betchart also shares his experience working with coaches like Mike Brown to incorporate mental skills training into team culture. Graham's Bio Graham Betchart is a Mental Performance Coach with the Sacramento Kings - Recording Artist and Founder of Train The Mind, Author of the book Play Present. He is known for the concept "Play Present," which teaches that an athlete needs to stay focused on the task at hand and immediately move on to the next play despite results or outcomes. He is also noted for the "MVP" program (Mediate, Visualize, Positive affirmation), a sports psychology mental training tool, as well as "WIN" (What is Important Now), which asserts that a player can only control attitude, effort, and focus. Notable athletes Betchart has coached include Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Ben Simmons, the first overall picks for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 NBA drafts, respectively. https://www.palmsdownbasketball.com/ https://coachingyouthhoops.com/ www.coachingyouthhoopsmasterclass.com www.basketballcoachesclinic.com https://teachhoops.com/ basketballplaycreator.com Want More Funnel Down Defense https://coachcollins.podia.com/funnel-down-defense [Facebook Group .

Carrie Richardson is a successful entrepreneur, having scaled three service-based businesses from zero to seven figures in the last ten years. But she got her start in an unexpected place: In a fitness center, cleaning weights at four in the morning.  This is the compelling story of how Carrie earned her sobriety, built multiple award-winning companies, met her husband and started a thriving consulting company. It serves as a great reminder that no matter what rung of the ladder you're on, you can climb all the way to the top.  Carrie Richardson founded Managed Sales Pros in Winnipeg, MB, Canada in 2013, and Everywhere Managed LLC in Las Vegas, NV in 2016 until its sale in 2020.  Carrie began her business as a solopreneur making phone calls by herself - and the demand for outbound cold calling quickly surpassed her ability to fulfill on her own. Carrie bootstrapped a home-based business into two award-winning niche-focused call centers. Carrie graduated from the Eureka Project Technology Incubator in 2016, the same year Managed Sales Pros was named the 25th fastest-growing company in Canada by Profit Magazine. Everywhere Managed was founded in 2016 to support US-based technology manufacturers that required US-based outbound sales development teams. Everywhere Managed hired almost exclusively out of workforce reentry programs in Nevada. Carrie and her team developed a one-of-a-kind on-the-job training program for technology sales. The Everywhere Managed unique approach to employee development earned Carrie an Athena Leadership nomination for advancing women in the workforce. Everywhere Managed was 100% female owned and managed, and all executive team members were promoted from within after being outbound agents. Carrie was inducted into the Las Vegas Women's Hall of Fame for the achievement, and to date has been the launch pad for two successful entrepreneurs, four sales development leaders (six figure earners with stock in fast-growing tech firms) and has helped over 50 employees move from social assistance to self-sufficiency. In October 2020, the omnichannel marketing agency EBQuickstart acquired Everywhere Managed. In 2021, Carrie co-founded Richardson & Richardson with her husband Ian to help small business owners create and execute process-driven, repeatable sales and marketing programs after they have solved for all systemic challenges in their business. Carrie has found that most companies start out believing they have a sales or marketing problem, when in reality they are also experiencing financial, service delivery, staffing, and communication challenges that are impacting their ability to win and retain clients. Richardson & Richardson Consulting helps to identify areas for improvement in those areas and beyond. Carrie's journey began with a powerful origin story Carrie always loved selling. She was self-taught, a natural born salesperson. But when she decided to get sober, she faced unexpected obstacles: Sales jobs usually came with boozy lunches that made it easy to fall off the wagon.  Being a determined and process-minded person, Carrie saw that her course had to change. She quit sales and landed a job at a gym with a four a.m. shift.  Carrie had to clean the gym, answer the phones, and stand at the front desk while she worked to become a certified personal trainer. It was hard, humbling work. Setting her ego aside, Carrie meticulously scrubbed the weights clean every morning - and was spotted by the manager.  Soon after, she was called into the office. Thinking she was going to get fired, she was surprised when her manager told her that she deserved a big promotion - with a massive pay raise. Carrie never forgot that moment. Someone gave her a chance and believed in her. Her work was recognized. It inspired her to build companies that truly support people - no matter what they're going through.  When Carrie left her job at the gym, she decided to return to sales. It wasn't long before she started her own company staffed with telemarketers niched into the world of IT.  A lesson in giving people a chance When she started her own call centers, Carrie encountered major staffing challenges. As she jokes herself, nobody grows up wanting to become a telemarketer - and HR was wasting time chasing candidates who did not want the job.  This challenge led Carrie to think creatively. She decided to begin hiring candidates from economic development agencies. Many were coming to work from jail or rehab, and many were experiencing food and housing insecurity. Carrie saw an opportunity to help them succeed.  The call centers hired people who needed positive work experience and even provided food and housing support. Carrie got to watch them build better lives - buying their first cars, getting married, having children and even starting their own businesses. Some of her former employees have launched their very own call centers, using systems they learned working at Everything Managed. After being given a chance herself, Carrie handed out second chances to hundreds of individuals, effectively changing the lives of them and their families. Carrie's advice to entrepreneurs: Build it better Carrie Richardson loves numbers, and she hates wasted time. When asked about her greatest advice for beginning entrepreneurs, she recommends that we focus our marketing efforts on things that produce real, tangible results.  Rather than just shooting out messages on LinkedIn and hoping for a response, Carrie suggests that you take stock of what works for you, and what doesn't. Is your website working for you? Are your cold calls being answered? Are you getting the results you want? If not, it might be time to refocus your energy - or hire Richardson & Richardson Consulting for professional guidance. Quotes “Most IT companies - like most other companies - start their business and grab a couple clients that are low-hanging fruit. They might take a couple from the previous company they worked for, or they build their business initially by supporting their parents' friends. But they're only used to closing referral-based sales appointments. They build up their company entirely from word of mouth and referrals. When these leads stop coming in, they don't know what to do. By the time they call a company like mine, they should have called a year before!” “I don't think you should ignore any opportunity to prospect. Try all of it. Measure it and see if you can improve on it! If you see that sending twenty LinkedIn messages means that two will respond, awesome. How do you get three people to respond? But don't just send out messages all day, willy-nilly. To me, that's not sales or marketing because it can't be measured.” “Your website should translate to dollars out the bottom of your funnel. But most people aren't measuring it.” “Work with professionals up front. Make major investments in viability before you start investing in head count.” “What are you measuring? What KPI's are you reporting on? What are your accountability checkpoints?” “We hired people right out of jail, and right out of rehab. They might not have made it past screening for other jobs. Some were experiencing food insecurity or homelessness. We had a food bank in our office. If you were struggling between paychecks, we had resources. We provided breakfast and lunch for everyone. We helped people pay for apartments.” “We started watching peoples' lives change. They would come in to work after getting their hair done, for the first time since starting work for us. They would buy their first car, get married, or have a baby. Watching peoples' lives change was incredible.” “We worked with economic development agencies. They had people who were like, ‘Help me find a job! I need to work.'” “Yeah, this is your job today - but let me tell you about my life. Let me tell you where all of this took me! Cleaning the handles of some weights took me to a job that allowed me to save enough money to train with UFC kickboxers in Thailand. I did so many amazing things. And all of them came from being humble enough to take a job that I thought was a little bit beneath me.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit the website for Richardson & Richardson Consulting at https://randr.consulting/  Watch on Youtube: “Make Smart Business Decisions with Carrie Richardson”, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CICPia7wA4  Listen to Carrie and Ian Richardson's podcast, “What's Important Now,” on Buzzsprout: https://win.buzzsprout.com/  Connect with Carrie Richardson on LinkedIn at http://LinkedIn.com/in/tinfoilhat2

Help your team WIM by gaining clarity on What's Important NOW.

And Its Antidote (Found in Spit!)   In our last +1, we spent a little more time with Brian Cain and his wisdom on the fact that “depression is obsession with the past, anxiety is obsession about the future, and optimal performance is obsession about the present.”    All of which begged the question: What are YOU obsessed about these days?    And…   All of that led to my admonition to activate our Soul Force by getting our Energy to Heroic levels and Focusing it on What's Important NOW all day every day.    Today I want to revisit the topic and bring another peak performance guru to the party to share HIS wisdom on the subject.   We'll go old school and invite Dale Carnegie to join us.   As you almost certainly know, Carnegie wrote one of the all-time best-selling personal development books How to Win Friends and Influence People. He wrote that book in 1936. It's sold over 30 million copies. (Check out the Notes for more.)   What you may not know is that he wrote another great book called How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. That book was written in 1948. 6 million copies of that book have been sold as well. (Check out the Notes for more.)   In How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, Carnegie echoes Cainer's wisdom about focusing on the PRESENT to deal with any potential depression and anxiety.   He tells us: “George Bernard Shaw was right. He summed it all up when he said: ‘The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.' So don't bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; your mind will start ticking—and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind. Get busy. Keep busy. It's the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth—and one of the best.”   There ya go.   Feeling stressed?   Perfect.   That's part of a good, noble life.    The moment you quit thinking you should be exonerated from the pain of uncertainty and the pain of hard work will be one of the most powerful, antifragile confidence-building moments of your life!   Now…   Spit on your hands and get busy doing your best at whatever is in front of you.   RIGHT. NOW.   Gremlins come back to the party a minute or three later?   Perfect.    Repeat.   Get back to work.   Focusing your Energy on What's Important Now.   Not once in a while and not only when you feel like it.   All day, every day.   Especially when?   TODAY.

Past? Future? Present? = Depression, Anxiety, Optimal Performance    Not too long ago, we spent some time with my friend Brian Cain—who happens to be, in my opinion, at least tied for first as THE world's best mental toughness coach.   One particular line from his 10 Pillars of Mental Performance Mastery has been popping up in my brain and I want to make sure we take a moment to chat about it.   Here it is.   Brian tells us (via Coach Kenny in his fable): “Remember, depression is obsession with the past, anxiety is obsession about the future, and optimal performance is obsession about the present.”   Let's think about that for a moment…   Depression is obsession about the PAST.    Anxiety is obsession about the FUTURE.   Optimal performance? That requires an obsession with the PRESENT.   Of course, that's a deliberately hyperbolic oversimplification of depression and anxiety.    And…   It's a powerful perspective.    All of which begs the question: What are YOU obsessed about these days?    I repeat: “Remember, depression is obsession with the past, anxiety is obsession about the future, and optimal performance is obsession about the present.”   Here's to activating our Soul Force by getting our Energy to Heroic levels and Focusing it on What's Important NOW all day every day.    Especially, as always, TODAY.   Anxiety and depression BEGONE.   Optimal performance LET'S GO!!

Welcome to Fight in Progress! Mike Baldwin joined the Grossman team after a distinguished law enforcement career in Arizona.  Over his 20 plus year career, Mike served in a number of roles: Patrol, Field Training Officer, SWAT Operator, Sergeant, and Lead Detective in the Major Felons Unit.  As a Detective, Mike honed his craft and became arguably his department's best interviewer and gained admissions and confessions from suspects who committed a variety of crimes.  Over the years he received multiple departmental awards, citations for outstanding police work, and the respect of his peers.  Mike served as an example and mentor to several young detectives and found this experience to be extremely rewarding.  For seven years, Mike served as the Sheepdog for his church home in AZ. He started a volunteer security team at his local church in which church members and guests (Sheep) were watched over by the security team (Sheepdogs) to protect them against the Wolf.   This ministry continues in his absence. After obtaining an MBA with an emphasis on Strategic Innovation, Mike retired from law enforcement and joined the Grossman team.  He hit the ground running on day 1 and has proven to be a valuable addition to the Grossman team.  His strategy is to focus on the acronym WIN (What's Important Now).  Mike handles the day-to-day operation of Grossman on Truth and interacts with people and agencies wishing to schedule a presentation. Mike is a devoted husband, father, and Christian man who seeks to honor God in what he does. (Proverbs 22:1 “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”). He is willing to speak to groups about resiliency and scars collected as a result of his career in law enforcement.   Description: Fight in Progress with Susan Simons aims to discuss problems and difficulties our officers face every day from sleep deprivation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and adrenal fatigue, to depression, isolation, physical illnesses, emotional distress, divorce and all too often suicide.

“I know I improve my odds of success when I'm able to work with anybody who has gone before me. I'm amazed how many people are willing to freely give of their time especially when we show up and we pay attention, and we do what's being advised. It's amazing how many opportunities are out there when we're ready to listen and then put some things into action.” – Rae Ostrander  Selected links and people mentioned from this episode: Green Thumb REIT Alcoholics Anonymous Tony Robbins Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins What's Important Now by John Kuypers Connect with REIN Canada REIN Canada CEO@reincanada.com REIN Channel Facebook Instagram Twitter [02:08] Patrick introduces his next TEDM guest, Rae Ostrander. [03:27] Rae and Patrick get down to business as Rae shares a snippet about what he's currently working on. [04:32] He's not getting off that easy! Patrick swings open the door, to get a bigger picture of Rae's business strategy and the markets they work within, which is a little against the grain! [07:40] Gary, Indiana? Rae explains how they find these markets, what attracts him to pursue the properties and the commitment he makes to reveal their intrinsic value. He further expands on how they add value, not for future necessarily (although that's nice too) but for cash flow, and the exit strategy the best suits their investors. [11:44] Relationship ROI. Rae expands on the Gary, Indiana property to demonstrate how they took over a situation that both solved the seller's problem and provided them an opportunity to build relationships with the tenant clients. Investing in upgrades and value-adds creates a community based around dignity and respect, where a potential tenant is happy to pay a little more rent to have a home they are proud of. Everyone wins. [16:27] Rae talks about the real estate markets on the US side of the border with price drops and availability, plus the opportunity he sees within that market that many others don't. [18:35] Creativity as a product of necessity. Rae shares his journey from theology studies and struggling financially to the realization it was ok to make some money! By doing that, he could create the opportunity to volunteer with the churches and non-profits he loved rather than rely on them to make ends meet. [19:45] Rae delves into his own story of troubled teens which brought him to seek recovery and sobriety and within that, incredible tools for self-discovery and development. Naïveté played a helpful part in fueling his motivation to learn and absorb the business of real estate investing. His continued work towards good mental health keeps him aligned in what he wants and what he's doing toward his own success. [22:44] The fundamental difference between the “doers” and the “I-want-to-doers”. Rae's time in sales, and coaching brought him some interesting insights around people's motivation and willingness to do or not do, the work. His own coach and mentor in real estate kept him grounded in a 90-day challenge to stick to his lane and work through a strategy to completion. [27:24] Before we commit to things, it is well worth some evaluation. Answer the questions around why we want to commit to a program, a work-out routine or learning a new language. Is it our ego leading the charge or a genuine desire for self-improvement and elevating our experience? Are we making decisions to abdicate responsibility, or can we commit to finding the true purpose behind the actions we desire to take and take them? [33:40] Rae walks through some of the questions and guidance he offers his clients before they begin their investment journey. It's really important to get honest about what we want, and to understand what we're investing in (pro tip: do your homework!] [39:29] Rae provides insight into his path as an entrepreneur and how it occurred for him - what his motivations were and how they have evolved as he has. Being of contribution is a biggy!

In this episode, I reflect on something I am constantly trying to get my players to understand  - the more we make a habit of making our actions reflect the person WE WANT TO BE and not just a generic version of someone else - the more we are able to focus on "What's Important Now," the more we exhibit mental toughness.

Jay Johnson is a great interview. But he's ready to stop talking and get to work. That's the vibe I got when he wrapped up his home run of a press conference on Monday, impressing the thousands of Tiger fans watching from home as he sold his vision of the program. But Johnson loves to win, and to him that means What's Important Now. And what's important now is getting his roster and staff finalized and preparing for a run at Omaha. Not in two years or three years. Next year. Because he's ready to win. And he's ready to work. Thankfully, we caught him for 25 minutes Monday and asked him about his background in coaching, recruiting and developing Kris Bryant, teaching the mental skills of baseball, and his vision for the Tigers moving forward. Enjoy this conversation, and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, where we will be dropping clips from the interview all week.
