Driving, striving, wiving, and conniving. It's Eddie's mobile worldcup shedcast. SHED!

  SUMMARY: When I first got out of the Army in 2005 I was hitting the ground running and nothing was going to stop me. I was very successful in the Army and my plan was to apply those same ideas and principles to my life and career outside the military. What I discovered was a huge shock to my system... What made me successful in the military was not going to make me successful now that I was out.   What I also found was that there was a lot of things I didn't know, and for that matter was never taught. Even more, I didn't know who could, or would teach me all these things I didn't know but desperately needed to!   Over the next several weeks I am going to talk about 11 things that never get taught but you need to know! There is obviously way more than 11 things, but I picked these 11 things to start off this conversation.   If you want all the links, resources, and free downloadables for this and all the other episodes in this series it's easy...

  SUMMARY: Eddie and Bennett sit down and talk with the founder of The Paradigm Switch, a Non-Profit organization providing veterans and military spouses access and financial support to prestigious certifications that teach targeted, on-the-job vocational skills-based programs.   "According to the Department of Labor, there are 6 million unfilled jobs in America, a record high. Surprisingly, there are approximately 6.8 million unemployed Americans who are actively looking for work. Many of the 6.8 million Americans looking for work do not possess the skills required to do most of the 6.0 million unfilled jobs. Our biggest economic problem is not a shortage of jobs, but a shortage of people with the skills to fill them."   Justine shares with us some incredible opportunities for 10 Scholarships in Project Management across 5 cities.

  SUMMARY: Having an understanding of your natural behaviors will help you communicate better with others, it will help you have a better understanding of where other people are coming from. So how do you go about doing this? The DISC Profile!   In this episode, I share with you my DISC Profile, I tell you all about what my natural behaviors are, what motivates me, and what I'm not all that crazy about.   The DiSC profile, published by Wiley, is a non-judgemental tool used for discussion of people's behavioral differences. If you participate in a DiSC program, you'll be asked to complete a series of questions that produce a detailed report about your personality and behavior. You'll also receive tips related to working with people of other styles. IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: My DISC Profile is 7-4-1-2 This is the Results-Oriented Profile. The highest dimension based on my response to the DISC Profile questions as it relates to my perceptions of the environment and amount of control I feel I have with that environment is Dominance (D). Not the 50 Shades of Grey kind of dominance either...   Those like myself that are strong in Dominance (or what's called "high D's") like to take action to achieve the results they desire. They seek opportunities for advancement and individual accomplishment, and they often aspire to positions of power and authority. The main objectives for people in high Dominance are typically control and results, with the freedom to make quick decisions whenever necessary.   This isn't all peaches and cream... Because I tend to see many projects as competitive situations, I may run into conflicts with my colleagues. I probably have a powerful drive to be the top performer or undisputed victor, (where's my belt?).   My attitude may sometimes strike others as arrogant or condescending. Wow, I sound like a treat right? So what's the point? Well everyone has positives and negatives, pros and cons, strong points and weaknesses. The difference is, I know what mine are... do you?   That's what the DISC Profile can do for you too. We all have a natural state, ways of being when we aren't thinking about it. Understanding what this is in you will allow you to shift as needed and help you interact with those around you more effectively.   Check out this link to learn how you can incorporate the DISC profile at work with your employees, or co-workers.

Jane Strong began her lifelong love of horses as a competitive rider. When she left the world of traditional horsemanship behind, she had no idea that horses would ever become an integral part of her life again. It was not until she began to study the principles and practices of natural horsemanship that she came to understand what horses had to teach us about how we come across to others, about being in the moment and how to bring out the best in ourselves.   Prior to returning to a life centered around working with horses, she was a professional coach and facilitator who has taught leaders and individuals how to 'take back the reins' in their own lives. She's coached young people and adults through transitions from home to school, recovery to sobriety and changes in their careers.   Beginning in 2009, in learning about the rising suicide rate among veterans, Jane and her her partner David decided to focus their attention on this group of men and women who were sometimes resistant to talk therapy and whose symptoms were often only masked by medication. They based their program on what they had learned at Eponaquest Program. General Patraeus (Ret.) recognized this program for its soundness and sensitivity to these men and women who have served their country in this way. They have also studied the work of Dr. Peter Levine at the Somatic Experiencing Training Institute and both completed this program in 2015. IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Jane's journey of working with horses Other-centered mindset and orientation of military service members...and horses Commonalities between horses and veterans How horses live in the present, rather than the past and the future, and how veterans can learn from it How working with horses can complement traditional forms of therapy for veterans  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:   The Eqqus Effect Web Site   The Eqqus Effect on Facebook Change Your POV Book Club Don't miss out!

  SUMMARY: Of all the shows I've created and produced on the Change Your POV Podcast Network, this one is by far the hardest I've done. Both from a topic standpoint and a technical one. There was a lot of introspection and self-healing that went into this show. There are many messages in this episode. My hope is that someone will listen to this and will be changed. Suicide is a huge problem in the military, in the civilian sector, and amongst our youth. Special thanks to everyone that participated and had the courage to share their stories.   A Silent War © Lisa Miktuk Leaving us without word, nothing left to say, Mom and me are never going to forget that day. Something must have hurt so bad and I simply turned my back, There's so many things I want to say, but it seems the right words I lack. I never got to say goodbye or tell you that I care, You must have felt all alone, desperate, hurt, and scared. I wonder why you felt so bad that your pain engulfed your life, I wonder if you thought of us, your daughter and your wife. If I could go back in time and try to ease your pain, I would dry all your tears when they fell like rain. It must have been a place so dark that you could not see the light, But here I am, your pain I feel, I cry myself to sleep at night. So Daddy please forgive me, I was only 15 at the time, I didn't realize how lucky I was that you were all mine Source:   Give back to Veterans who give back to Veterans!  Hey, It's Eddie and Bennett!

   SUMMARY: I am going to let Dan's Bio speak for itself:   "I'm Dan Dwyer and I am a 22-year U.S. Army veteran, who is passionate about fostering powerful conversations dedicated to the boots to business advancement of veteran entrepreneurs, and sharing their stories, experiences, successes and challenges, so that others can improve their business and personal lives. Still today, 9 out of 10 startup business enterprises fail. In the case of our veteran entrepreneurs, I am committed to reversing this trend by exposing our veteran entrepreneurs to today's most inspiring veteran businessmen and women, and providing fresh valuable content to improve their leadership and business acumen.  With over 25 years experience in leadership and organizational development, strategic planning, building and leading high performing teams, retaining top performing professionals, orchestrating multimillion-dollar operational budgets, and cultivating trusting relationships with team members, peers, and senior leaders alike, I blend a practical, results-driven approach, centered around powerful conversations, to guide veteran entrepreneurs and their organizations to be successful."   Dan and Bennett sit down and talk about Vet2Biz life which is Dans website and podcast.     LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: http://www.vet2bizlife.com https://www.facebook.com/dandwyervet2bizlife https://www.linkedin.com/in/dandwyervet2bizlife/     Give back to Veterans who give back to Veterans!  Hey, It's Eddie and Bennett!

SUMMARY: There is one barrier to seeking mental health treatment that veterans seem to face. That barrier is often the one that is most difficult to overcome. It’s the barrier inside each of us, the internal stigma against seeking treatment. The whole “suck it up and drive on” mentality. The “I can handle this” mindset that binds us until we can’t handle it any more. So here are six warning signs that things are getting out of control.   In this episode, Duane talks about six things that he has seen in veterans that he works with that indicate that things are spinning out of control. If any of these things, or most of these things, are present in you or veterans in your network, find a mental health professional to talk to! IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Six signs that things are spinning out of control: 1. You just don’t give a crap anymore (about things you used to enjoy). 2. You just don’t give a crap anymore (about life in general). 3. You give too much of a crap about things (little things become huge). 4. Something in your life has more control over you than you have over it (like substance abuse). 5. Something in you has more control over you than you have over it (like emotions). 6. Someone else brings it to your attention (like a friend, family member...or the cops).

SUMMARY: Doc Todd is combat veteran who proudly served our country as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman (combat medic) in the United States Navy. Since Doc’s honorable discharge in 2009, it’s been seven years of life and civilian transition for him, including the ups and downs experienced by many young veterans who have dealt with the hard costs of war. Now, Doc has had enough… enough with the pain, enough with not fitting in, enough with the  sorrow and anger of having another friend take his life. So in 2017, Doc took a leap of faith leaving a budding career in financial management to pursue a mission focused on impacting veterans’ lives through music, just as he did eight years ago under the blazing Afghanistan sun, In June, Doc will debut his forthcoming hip-hop album, Combat Medicine – a follow-up to the album he released in 2009 about his emotions leading up to deployment. Combat Medicine is exactly what it sounds like – a no-holds- bar look into military life and veteran transition. His mission is simple – show veterans they’re not alone and save lives. His memoir, also titled Combat Medicine, is set to launch later this year. IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Doc Todd's military experience and how it impacted him after the service Self-judgement and the damage it can do to a veteran's mindset Continuing to take care of the troops after service The need for honesty and vulnerability in a veteran's post-military life The genesis of the album Combat Medicine and what made Doc make the shift from a successful wealth management career back to music The frustration that lies in wanting to help veterans, but not being able to LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Doc Todd's Web site Doc Todd on Facebook Doc Todd on Instagram Doc Todd on Twitter Combat Medicine the Album Hey, It's Eddie and Bennett!

    SUMMARY: In this episode, Duane talks about his experience both as a combat veteran and a clinical mental health counselor, and outlines eight things that he believes that a veteran wants their mental health professional to know before working with them.   As a professional counselor and combat veteran, one of the most rewarding aspects of the work that Duane does is helping other veterans come to a point of awareness and understanding about their experiences in the military, and setting the stage for change if that’s what the veteran is willing to do. Working with any client can be challenging, but veterans can be especially difficult because of the warrior culture that they are used to. This podcast talks about eight different points that he believes veterans would like their mental health counselor to know before working with them. IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The eight things a veteran wants their mental health counselor to know are: I’m not sure this is necessary I’m really, really trusting you The only reason I’m here is because I’m tired of feeling the way I do I really want to be able to talk… …but have no intention of doing so… …and will shut down if I feel like you’re judging me. I don’t think that you’ll be able to understand what I experienced I have no desire to be coddled, revered, or bullied.
