From the cardboard to chemo, Tim Lawson's journey of resilience started as a young teenager battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and now he joins us as the newest member of the #YearOfTheVet family! November 2002… a 17 year-old aspiring B-Boy gets diagnosed with cancer… May 2003: remission… 2006: a Hard-Charging Marine. Not too long after separation... a suicide survivor...This conversation takes Tim from behind his mic, and gives him the platform to talk about himself for once—and thank God for that! The conversation we have is so rich with knowledge and personality, and we cover topics as deep as depression, to the reason we should wear pants during an interview.Tim created his foundation in Digital Media in the days before podcasting and social media were popular forms of entertainment… and what that means is that he’s been honing his craft for the better half of decade, having created and ended more projects than Thanksgiving dinners you’ve eaten since Y2K. What drove him was the love he had for talking to people, as well as being able to freely create creative content—and throughout that time he got to experience the highs, and he also really experienced the lows. And because of his journey, he’s able to come onto #YearOfTheVet and share the lessons learned during his road to the top!Tim and I talk transition (of course), entrepreneurship, podcasts… but we also talk about the importance of seeking out someone to be able to talk to, as well as the expense of “finding yourself.” A lesson learned from this conversation is to not keep your mouth closed when you want or need something, and that it’s ok to rely on your network for not only times of abundance, but also in times of need.As it pertains to dealing with depression, which Tim is well versed in, he mentions that awareness is key, and suggests that an individual should seek out therapy when feeling good and happy, and not as a last resort—or when depressed. And that’s mainly because therapy should be seen as a tool, and not as a weakness or a burden.And speaking of tools… Tim shares a few of his favorites, that he feels will help individuals be better versions of themselves!I had a phenomenal time talking to the man with the Golden Voice, and I hope that you enjoy this conversation with Marine Corps Veteran… Mr. Timothy Lawson!---------------------------Show Notes (5:14) The Voice of an Angel (6:01) The Grand Ol' Man of Podcasts (6:48) Pre-Marine Corps Tim (7:25) Who Needs School When You Have a Cardboard Box?

To me, the only thing more awesomer (yes, I just said that.) than podcasting to improve mens lives is podcasting to improve Veteran lives. Our guest today, Timothy Lawson, has been podcasting since way before it was cool. It was great chatting with Tim about the evolution of podcasting. And I appreciate what he had to say about Men of Abundance, and the show format. I appreciate Tim's candor.

This week's warrior is Army veteran Steve Sxaks. Steve is no stranger to Lawson Entertainment as he's joined me on Veteran Empire and 1, 2, Many: Veteran Suicide. We've also collaborated on a podcast I host for them called Mighty Mighty Marsten House. Steve is a co-founder of Marsten House, a recording studio and record label in Philadelphia. His business in the hip hop industry has grown over the years and is worthy of respect. Steve joins us to discuss the usual questions: what it means to be a warrior, challenges he faces, what inspires him. He also shares with us the journey that brought him to the studio, pivoting the business during adversity, and becoming a teacher. Be sure to share your thoughts with us on Twitter using #FuelForWarriors. @Steve_Sxaks (guest) @TimLawson21 (host) @LockNLoadJava (Production partner) @LawsonEntertain (Production)

It has enhanced how much and what I can be grateful for.Thoughts on BreathingI try to take nice full breaths while I am meditating and on days where I am lethargic. I try to remind myself to take long deep breaths just to keep the lungs active and the blood flowing. I have personally noticed the connection between being still with not a lot of movements and short, shallow breaths and my mood being impacted by that.Suggested ResourcesBook: Essentialism by Greg MckeownApp: Insight TimerAdvice for Newbie The best advice I ever received was from Tim Ferris: mindfulness is not about trying to find some epiphany. I think once you realize that meditation and mindfulness isn't the goal of those two things, that experiencing mindfulness is much easier.Thank You Bonus As a thank you for listening, download your Fine Tune Your Focus, 5 Day Challenge.

Mighty Mighty Marsten House is finally back! After releasing fourteen successful episodes, we took a hiatus to do some other things here at Lawson Entertainment. I received a lot of great feedback about the podcast and many people asked me to bring it back. So, here it is. Episode 15 brings Denver artist Trev Rich. Trev is probably most well known for his Dreams (Interlude) track on Joe Budden's "A Quarter on the Loose." I got a chance to talk with Trev about his growth as an artist, his creative process, and we even dove into some of his lyrics. Be sure to let me know what you think of the show by tweeting at us using #MMMH@TrevRichHD (Guest) @TimLawson21 (Host) @MarstenHouse (Production Partner) @LawsonEntertain (Production Partner) @MightyMightyMH (Podcast Twitter account)

Christopher Van Etten is a Marine Corps veteran. He is also a veteran to Lawson Entertainment. I originally talked with Chris on the Veteran Empire podcast. Then, he shared his story on 1, 2, Many: Veteran Suicide. Now, he’s on Fuel For Warriors. Chris lost both of his legs in Afghanistan. As a double amputee, Chris faces many challenges but is light hearted about his situation. Also, he has a pretty sweet motorcycle set up. Enjoy!
The first episode of Fuel For Warriors features the host of the show, Timothy Lawson. Tim takes some time to let you know who he is, his experience as a podcaster, being a Marine, and the future for Fuel For Warriors.
We have an amazing guest for you today, Tim Lawson. Tim is a Marine Corps veteran, college student at American University, found and owner of Lawson Entertainment, a company that has 4 weekly podcasts. The Veteran Empire Podcast for example was nominated for a 2013 Podcast Award in the Culture and Arts Category. He's been able to do all this before the age of 30. At 17 he defeated cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, it was an experience that really helped him have determination and perseverance. He actually feels blessed to have cancer at the ripe age of 17 with his immune system able to recover fairly quickly after treatment. He believes that he is the product of his top 5 people in his life, which include his co-host Brandon of Brandon's Bromantic Comedy, his girlfriend, and colleagues in his life. He's working towards true freedom currently with his efforts as an entrepreneur, an internet marketer, a podcast host on several shows, and a full time student at American University. He's driven to control his time and run his life on his own terms. The Utopia he is working toward is building his business so he can maintain his lifestyle that he has currently has ripe with freedom and being able to spread his wings while working anywhere. "The more freedom I have , the more freedom I have to do the things I want to do. " Compared to being a Marine, he now has to create his own opportunities and has to work hard to make everything work. These are sets of challenges that he relishes. He loves the challenge of figuring out entrepreneurship and the opportunities it yields. He gives his girlfriend the credit for providing a level of peace that he had never felt before.. Awww.. how sweet. "Every day is a vacation day but every hour is a working hour."

Timothy lives in The District of Columbia. He has lived in about a dozen different places over the last 10 years but came from the Greater North West. He spent about 5 ½ years in the Marine Corps, serving as a marine security guard. He is just finishing his degree in broadcast journalism. He started a business with Lawson Entertainment that revolves around a podcast network. Timothy had a blog and a friend suggested he turned it into a podcast. He then became involved with Veteran Empire and started doing a podcast with them. He then started Lawson Entertainment and a few podcasts. He often talks about Veterans on interviews but rarely about his own near-death experience. He is pretty transparent about his life, and he likes to share the experiences he has, and share them with people. Near-Death Experience His father was in the military and kept being stationed where he grew up. He never really experienced a true military life or moved. One morning, he woke up, he was a senior in high school;17 years old, did a little stretch and found a golf size lump come out from under his collarbone. He went to his mom, and she panicked and thought it was a cyst. Something told him it was cancer and more serious than not. An ultrasound confirmed it was. He then had surgery to remove it, and after was told it was Hodgkin's lymphoma. He remembers watching his mom hang her head in worry, and said casually, “Mom I have cancer, but was still hopped up on painkillers. At first, he was optimistic, and only said he felt lazy, perhaps from being a teenager. It was hard to imagine he had cancer because he felt physically fine, and was break dancing and being a normal teenager. I asked if his optimism may have helped him to have a successful recovery. He is sure it had something to do with helping his body tolerate the effects, and recover. He would be interested in seeing the results of a study, to see if there is any correlation between an optimistic mindset with recovery. He wanted cancer to be over by the time he graduated. He went to, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, One of the best hospitals in the world for Hodgkin's lymphoma. He sat down with an Oncologist and another doctor. They talked about Hodgkin’s and found out he was stage 2. They found another tumor of a much smaller size in his chest and cancer cells in his chest and in his abdomen. They believed that a few cycles of chemotherapy would take control of the cancer cells, and some radiation would reduce the size of the tumor. Being the optimistic teenager he was, he was like yea, let’s do this. Thankfully he was under his father's medical insurance and it was mostly covered. They rolled with three cycles of chemotherapy and then one month of radiation. One cycle was two visits. “It’s not like I could call up many of my friends and ask them what Chemotherapy was like” The few people he could ask, he wasn’t sure his experience would be the same. He started to understand why his friends and family were so shocked and he was young in comparison to most of the people getting treatments. He had a chicken wrap from the hospital cafeteria before his treatment, and then he felt nauseous for at least a year after his treatment, every time he thought about eating a chicken wrap. He had associated how he felt from the Chemotherapy treatment to the chicken wrap. The week of Christmas, he was receiving Chemotherapy. He watched a guy walking around with an iv tower. He followed the iv down and seen a kid receiving Chemotherapy, --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lvmountaintops/message
