In our latest Barrel=Aged Classic, Nick Tokman, "Deadliest Catch" fisherman and motivational speaker, hangs out and talks about his time on the show, his decision to start speaking to children, and being dedicated to your passion. Intro music is "String Anticipation" by Cory Gray.
The first time I spoke with Nick Tokman it was evident why people call him Sunshine. He is upbeat, outgoing and everything you would expect for somebody with that nickname. Nick had a wild ride taking the risk and leaving it all behind and heading to Alaska without a job with the goal of becoming a crab fishermen like the ones his grandfather showed him on Deadliest Catch. Battling the Bering Sea head on with such a positive audience, Nick showed viewers how having such an upbeat can-do attitude during the grind that is Alaska crab fishing can have such a huge impact on his crewmates. Nick realized he wanted to share this passion and his life experiences with others. So after leaving the show, Nick decided to become a motivational speaker and travel the country delivering his message of confidence, self worth and helping you reach "your" goals. Nick has made a huge impact on thousands of lives across the country through his speaking engagements and he is continuing to find ways to motivate people during the trying times we currently find ourselves in today. Hope you enjoy this episode with Nick and be sure to check him out on his website and social media channels. www.nicktokman.com https://youtu.be/er_9hGtmFHs

Teaching is a way to help guide a young person along their learning path so that they discover their inner skills and talents, use their school knowledge to propel those gifts, and then go out into the world to leave their mark. As educators, how are we helping students discover how they want to inspire the world? Tune in to hear my teaching confession and action tips you can implement right now to do better for every kid in front of you. Quotables If you aren’t living your DREAM, how can you help kids discover and live out their own? The best thing we can do is model for our kids what we want them to do. It’s your job to help them discover what fire burns within them and help guide them to get a job that can help them leave their imprint on this world. I promise to do better so every kid knows it’s okay to not fit the mold, that the skills you learn in school can and will help you hone that craft, to support friends or foes who dream differently, and to go after your heart’s desires with gusto! It wasn’t until I started coaching other teachers that I noticed holes in my own practice But beyond that belief we have to act this out Being a teacher is more than the obvious…It’s helping kids realize what makes them special and helping them bring it to fruition.

Although his family did not want him pursuing a career in one of the most dangerous professions, he realized this was HIS life; he had to live it for himself. Four years later after embarking on his journey, after persevering through a series of setbacks and failures, including hospitalization, running out of money and battling homelessness, Nick landed on the very show that inspired him to venture to Alaska. As a cast member of the Emmy-Winning show, he battled some of the harshest working conditions known to man, including 30-35 foot rogue waves, freezing temperatures, extreme physical labor and 20-hour work days.

Eventually you will find your tribe. What do you want to do with your life? You have to do what is best for yourself Are you the captain of your life or is it others around you?
