I found an awesome post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) and it's a powerful and much needed reminder that all of us have the ability to be a leader in life. Find his site HERE.  In case you have not noticed, the world needs us more than ever! He reminds us: “You are a leader!”  You may not have a title. You may not have people report to you. Maybe you never thought of yourself as a leader. But I'm here to tell you that if you live a life of integrity… If you show others what discipline, consistency and devotion look like… If you encourage someone today… If people know you believe in them… If you lend someone a helping hand… If you lift someone up with your words… If you coach a friend through a challenging situation… If you solve a client's problem… If you guide a customer in the right direction… If you hold your friends accountable… If you get a child to eat their vegetables… If you love, serve and care…If you impact the life of another human being… You are a leader!  Lead well! Lead Positive!”  Such a powerful post with powerful examples for all of us.  I shared this post with this thought:  “Amazing truth here … many so-called / self-described  “leaders” are out there needing to take lessons from real leaders, real people… integrity / character shine so brightly for those that “… love, serve and care…”! We need more of this!”  It astounds me that we have so many people with titles that think they are leaders, yet they simply make things worse for others and certainly don't look to serve others. Once again, that's why we all have the ability to make a difference in this world.  The funeral service I went to this past weekend… a 19 year old girl… was a difference maker on so many levels!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I came across this post that really got me thinking about overthinking. From Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) comes (at least to me) a new way of “overthinking” things. It was shared:  “If you're going to overthink, at least overthink all the ways it could work out in your favor, the best case scenario, and every version of your life that turns out better than expected.” This is something I need to look at and also start doing in my life. Looking at things with a bit more optimism. Interesting thoughts. It would be cool to hear your thoughts about this one. Let me know.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textHey Energizer, this episode is for you if you've ever felt like you're doing everything right, but something still feels off. We talk about why feeling empty doesn't mean you're failing, how misalignment shows up, and how awareness can help you shift back into living, shining, and showing up as your true self. 

Is it so important - to be politically astute? We all know the correct answer to that question. Our elementary teachers taught us that democracy demands an educated citizenry. It is easy to see the need.

I came across a great & simple reminder from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) and the image is this quote: “Setbacks teach us lessons winning never will.” The image is of someone's hand and the quote is written in marker. Like a reminder note that we use to write on our hand so we wouldn't forget something important. We all have setbacks. We always will. It's part of being human. I look back at reminders of those that are no longer with us and what they taught us.  If we can keep looking for the lessons in our setbacks, we can always be moving forward in our lives.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Trying to avoid doing stupid things is not always practical. Sometimes we simply find ourselves in situations that we look back at to say "well that was stupid." The key to the rule of stupid is not having more than one stupid thing happen at a time. There's nothing wrong with being in the wrong place, but being in the wrong place at the wrong time or while doing the wrong thing or with the wrong people...that's where we've broken the rule of stupid.Such a great concept that I learned from the parents of one of my athletes.

Send us a textIn this episode, Spencer reminds us of something simple but powerful: our words carry energy. Whether we realize it or not, everything we say aligns us—or misaligns us with the life we're trying to build. He shares how small shifts, like turning “I have to” into “I get to,” can completely change your vibration and your day. If you've had a great week or a tough one, this is your invitation to reflect, reset, and speak in a way that supports the version of you you're becoming.

James Reda grew up in Las Vegas being raised by his grandparents, but his life took a sharp turn when his father taught him how to scam slot machines at a young age. That early introduction to hustling led James into a world of check fraud, casino scams, and eventually time in both Nevada state prison and federal prison — including serving time in the same facility as his father. After his first release, James tried to rebuild his life working as a limo driver, but he became wrapped up in an FBI indictment connected to his job. While on pre-trial release, he slipped back into check fraud and landed in prison again — where he was even accidentally released before being taken back into custody. Ultimately sentenced to more time, James served in both systems before using his second chance on the outside to finally turn his life around. In this episode, he breaks down his entire journey: the early scams, the prison time, the FBI case, the accidental release, the relapse, and what it took to change his life for good. If you're interested in Vegas crime stories, prison life, redemption arcs, and real interviews with people who've lived it, this conversation delivers honesty, insight, and wild twists from start to finish. #CasinoScam #PrisonStory #NevadaPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #LockedInWithIanBick #InmateStories #PrisonLife #crimeandconsequences Thanks to AURA FRAMES for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

This week, Kyra is joined by Nature-Inspired Mentor and Certified Life Coach Tigrilla Gardenia for a deeply grounding conversation about slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, and learning from the wisdom of the natural world. Living in the spiritual eco-community of Damanhur, Italy, Tigrilla brings a beautiful blend of science, spirituality, and plant intelligence to her work, guiding women to rediscover clarity, creativity, and inner alignment. Together, they explore how constant busyness disconnects women from their intuition, how plant allies can help us return to presence, and why nature remains one of the most powerful teachers for resilience and emotional well-being. Tigrilla shares stories from her mentorship work, lessons from years of studying plant behavior, and simple practices that help women slow down and listen more intentionally to themselves and the world around them. In this episode: ✨ What plants teach us about growth, alignment, and resilience ✨ How slowing down helps women reconnect with their intuition ✨ The science and spirituality of plant communication ✨ Nature-based practices for clarity and emotional grounding ✨ How to find connection even in busy or urban environments If you have been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or out of rhythm with yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder that nature is always waiting to guide you home.

I took some time last night to watch a special on ESPN - a 30 for 30 documentary on Stuart Scott. Find some more info HERE. It really got me thinking about things. It was emotional, reflective, powerful and to me, it directly connected to a post today from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie). The post reminded us that “small steps do matter”. Mark reminds us to “Live our truth boldly, stand in your honesty, and remember - your happiness begins the moment you stop shrinking who you are to fit who others want you to be.” All of us need the reminder that we can be who we are. But in order for that to happen, we need to continue to work on ourselves to be our best, to chase after what we've been called to do and to keep being difference-makers for others as well. Powerful thoughts rolling around here for me and I hope it helps you to connect to some for yourself too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

#195 - A bull charges, a crowd roars, and a young teacher in Mexico says yes to the ring. That same man later sleeps on a bare floor in Juarez with his dog, ships bags at night, and turns a sketch into a company people chase through airports. Meet Dave Munson, founder of Saddleback Leather, whose path blends risk, faith, and relentless craft into a life that refuses shortcuts.We dig into the moment he drew the first “Indiana Jones” bag, why strangers wouldn't stop asking for it, and how a $100 apartment, bus-station pickups, and stubborn standards turned into a brand with a 100-year warranty. Dave shares blunt truths on pricing and materials, the discipline behind quality control, and the sacrifices most never see—waiting to marry, choosing grit over comfort, and protecting a business from the quiet temptations of cutting corners. His leadership lessons are disarmingly personal: court your spouse, encourage everyone, and help others win. Success, he argues, starts at home.Faith threads through everything. Dave talks about praying boldly for “the coolest,” from a 1971 Land Cruiser rack to a headquarters built from compressed leather bales. He explains how purpose shapes operations—building a factory in Mexico, launching a homeschool program for employees' kids, reopening an English institute, and sponsoring students in Rwanda and Uganda. Travel becomes marketing with a soul: crocs tug-of-war on a bag, shark dives on a honeymoon, and a simple stopover hack that turns Africa routes into Morocco detours at no extra cost.We close by redefining adventure. Dave bans the word in branding and lives it instead: choose the unknown, trust that you'll figure it out, and let curiosity steer the map. If you care about craftsmanship, entrepreneurship, service, and stories that actually happened, this conversation delivers. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves quality over hype, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway—what bold step are you ready to take next?To learn more about Dave and maybe get yourself or a loved one a gift check out www.saddlbackleather.com and you can follow him on Instagram as well @saddlebackbags.Be sure and follow me on Instagram as well to see some clips from the show and to get to know the personal side of yours truly!

You'll learn how to reset your energy at any moment, instead of waiting for things to completely fall apart.

Shifting the paradigm from negative to positive POV. What if what didn't bloom has allowed for more to bloom, indeed?

I found a post that I've used before in my classes while teaching along with my players while coaching. This post came from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and in the audio I share here in this episode, you can hear the passion, the love, the gratitude from Coach Jim Valvano.   “The gift my father gave me every day of my life was he believed in me. My father believed in me, he believed in me when I failed. When I didn't measure up to my standard or someone else's standard he'd look me in the eye and he'd say you're going to make it,” Jim Valvano.  There are so many instances of the importance of having belief in our lives.  Head Football Coach and one of my teachers, Tom Mach from my high school, Detroit Catholic Central would always have this saying from when he started teaching at coaching at CC in 1976 and he still shares it when he speaks to students, players, coaches & educators today! It's his phrase that is just one of many things he's best known for: "the magic is in believing," a mantra that has inspired countless students to embrace the power of their belief in God, your family, your team, your loved ones, along with others.  Finally in one of my favorite shows that I've ever watched, “Ted Lasso” starring Jason Sudeikis, has a main part of the series with his sign “Believe” that he hangs in their locker room and all the team / life connections that come with it. Do yourself a favor and find how to watch this show!!  One thing for sure, is from all of this I need to do a much better job in believing in others along with believing in myself even more. The world sure could use more of this of us believing & encouraging others.

In this closing episode of 2025, Meredith Olmsted and Danielle Fancher take a step away from typical digital marketing conversations to talk about something every professional faces sooner or later. What do we do when life goes completely sideways? From personal health challenges to unexpected moments of generosity, this conversation is a reminder that gratitude, vulnerability, and reflection shape us just as much as strategy, KPIs, and campaign results. Their stories show how adversity can strengthen connection, build resilience, and create more grounded leaders inside credit unions, community banks, and beyond.Key Takeaways: Redirection can be a gift even when it feels like a setback: Danielle's diagnosis forced a reset and showed her the power of slowing down, reassessing priorities, and choosing growth over fear. Gratitude often comes from the moments we never planned.Small acts of generosity can reshape how we show up: Meredith's volunteer story is a reminder that those with the least often give the most. Simple acts of kindness create ripple effects and show that leadership is also about lifting others.Vulnerability builds stronger teams and stronger humans: Being open and imperfect has strengthened connections across the FI GROW team. Letting people support you builds trust and proves that a human connection is still the core of strong collaboration.

Send us a textIn this episode, we break down the lie that your worth depends on how much you accomplish. Many of us were taught to measure our value by productivity how many tasks we cross off, how “busy” we are but it's exhausting and untrue. We talk about unlearning that mindset, recognizing meaningful progress even when it's not a long checklist, and giving yourself permission to disconnect. Sometimes the most powerful reset is just stepping away for 10 minutes and allowing yourself to play.

Earl Evans is one of the most influential figures in Australian wealth management (CEO of Shaw and Partners), but the way he leads isn't what you'd expect.He doesn't help people to look good. He helps them because he means it. Loyalty isn't a strategy for Earl, it's his default setting.

In this episode, Christina shows up at the end of a long day—post-walk, unfiltered, and debating whether she should even hit “upload.” But the story behind why she almost didn't post this one is worth the listen.She also pulls back the curtain on a behind-the-scenes disaster that nearly pushed her over the edge this week. Let's just say it involves a 35-minute recording, a message from her assistant, and a very real “I might cry” moment. Christina doesn't reveal every detail here… but when you hear it, you'll feel it.From there, she shares how her best podcast ideas actually come together—and why next year's episodes are about to look very different. Think: founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and some surprising conversations she can't wait to bring back. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn!

I came across a short but powerful (and truthful) post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) that reminds us all about something so meaningful.  “If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.” - Rumi.  What an amazing and encouraging statement to always take with us wherever we go! I was watching a new show, Boston Blue and in the recent episode, one of the main characters brought up this fact that he needed to simply keep showing up to listen to and be there for others. To me, that is exactly what this post is all about. You may be the light that you think may not be around. Just keep doing your best. Keep showing up for others.  You will make a difference for sure, even if you can't see it.

Send us a textIn this episode, we talk about why so many high achievers feel pulled in a thousand directions accomplishing a lot but feeling drained and unfulfilled. The solution isn't chasing “balance” by adding more to your plate. It's learning to return to center through energy anchors. You'll discover how tools like intentional breathwork can quickly calm your system, reconnect your mind and body, and bring you back to clarity and peace so you can operate from alignment instead of exhaustion. 

Classic post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he shared a “Mindset  Monday” thought. “Replace “Have to” with “Get to.”  Jon shares with us: “Shift your perspective and realize it's not about having to do anything. Life is not an obligation. It's a gift. Focus on gratitude and you'll find yourself feeling blessed instead of stressed.” This was something that I needed to connect with and remind myself how important my mindset is.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I stumbled across a great post to share from Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) and even though it's coming out later than I wanted to today, it still reminded me of some things that I needed to connect with.  “To be successful at anything, you don't have to be special. You simply have to be what most people are not. Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.” The key that jumped out to me was that we don't need anyone's permission for us to do the things we need to do. We get to choose if we are consistent. We are the ones that can say how determined we will be with the things we choose to do. We for sure don't need permission to have the willingness to work on things we find a connection too.  For me, there are so many distractions out there that affect me as to how I use my time throughout the day. No more!! (or at least I need to try to have it happen not as often and keep going from there.)  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I spent the last year radically decluttering my home and life, and I've learned so many profound life lessons in the process. I wanted to share a few of the great ones that may resonate with you, and spark your own decluttering immersion.  Sign up HERE to start the FREE New Year Decluttering Workshop and get an introduction to Beyond Decluttering, the life-changing new Feng Shui Decluttering Certification: https://www.fengshuimagical.com/the_professional_decluttering_workshop  

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore how a little intentional prep can transform your entire day. Instead of waking up and reacting, you learn to begin with clarity mentally walking through your schedule, anchoring in gratitude, and choosing the energy you want to bring. This is all about shifting your mornings from automatic motion to intentional authorship, so you start connected, grounded, and in control. 

Neighbors are important and we might all find more comfort in life by engaging those close by rather than spending all of our time reaching across the world via Facebook for friends. It isn't an all or nothing choice. There is no reason we can't have both. It just takes a little time and effort.

Send us a textA shattered bowl mended with gold can change how you see your own story. We take that Kintsugi image and map it onto real life: the breaks you want to hide, the scars you downplay, and the moments you thought would end you. Instead of chasing a spotless image, we walk through how to turn those cracks into visible lines of strength—proof that you've been tested and upgraded.We dig into why scars are receipts, not defects, and how the people we admire earn our respect by showing the rebuild, not erasing it. Devin shares personal examples from launching Strive 11 and navigating a fitness dip that forced better time design. Together we unpack the cultural lie that “untouched” equals valuable, and replace it with a craftsperson's lens: honor the break, highlight the seam, and build a vessel that holds more. You'll get a simple four-step practice to apply today—name the break, extract the lesson, reinforce it with new behaviors, and stop hiding the seam—so resilience becomes a system, not a slogan.By the end, you'll have a challenge to make this mindset stick: write what happened, what it cost, and what gold you gained that you refuse to ignore. Share your seam with someone who needs strength right now. If this message reminded you that you're forged, not fragile, follow the show, leave a review, and send this to a friend who thinks they're disqualified. Your story isn't over—the gold gets added next.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

What do you think you might be saying on your deathbed? Will you be looking back at your life with a sense of joy and completeness, or, do you think that perhaps you might be consumed with regret?  As today's guest shares, “It's easy to assume that you will live with great health to a ripe old age, then die peacefully in your sleep wearing your favourite pyjamas but it doesn't work out that way for most people…” Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I'll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today's clip is from episode 383 of the podcast with former palliative care nurse and author of the best-selling book ‘The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying', Bronnie Ware. In this clip, we reflect on some of the meaningful lessons Bronnie learned from those at the end of life, and she shares some thought provoking insights that could help us live better lives right now.

I came across a very simple, yet once again - powerful reminder for all of us. This came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where this total truth was shared: “Always find time for the things that make you feel happy!”  I am reminded about that for a couple of reasons. One was my podcast from yesterday. Another is the reminder of making time to see and visit with the people that keep your soul smiling along with they help to keep the spark of your soul, on fire for life!! Walks with our dog are something that I love doing - that brings me joy. This podcast brings me joy. Helping & encouraging others brings me joy. Always looking to learn, grow and improve - every day - brings me joy.  What is it for you?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.
