Dave Rae is a financial advisor, and he’s a Member of one of the Technical Working Groups at the Australian Sustainable Finance Initiative. Its been great to watch Dave build his financial planning business and he’s helped me understand how his clients feel about sustainable investing, and the key concerns that people come to him with. I think it’s useful to get insights from outside the ‘impact’ bubble every now and then. Now Dave wasn’t always an advocate for investing in-line with your values. He talks us through his journey to focussing on the impact his money is having, and how he sees the sector evolving. He also tells us about the changes that the Royal Commission is bringing to the world of financial advice with both the pros and the cons for the end consumer. All the notes are on my website at www.Johntreadgold.com Plus you can follow along on Facebook and Instagram. Enjoy

Six years ago, Dave Brown gave up his real estate license to build a business that served the lifestyle he wanted to create. He wanted to prove people wrong. The vision was to create a machine that generated a steady flow of motivated seller leads on a daily basis. He put in the work and soon started closing multiple deals per month in a competitive market. But here’s the catch… He did it with no cold calling, no direct mail, no employees, all online, all organic traffic. Fast forward to today - He’s leased out his entire business for multiple 5 figures per month! Now Dave finally has the time to pursue his passions and do what matters most in life. Listen in to find out how he did it!

This is not your ordinary fishing trip … Guest Profile Another first for the show – interviewing the host of another fishing podcast. Dave Stewart joins us from the Wet Fly Swing fly fishing podcast. Before he picked up the mic, Dave was a life long fly fisherman. His father was a fly fishing guide, so you might say it was ingrained in his DNA. Dave was guiding himself by the age of 12. Now Dave is a guide of a different sort, teaching from behind the mic about fly fishing through his interviews with many greats in the fly fishing world. On this episode, we turn the tables on Dave and ask him some of the same questions he uses on his guests. Plus, Dave shares his most epic trip ever – a Skeena River fly fishing adventure in some untapped and untamed waters. Guest Links Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/wetflyswing/ Web – https://wetflyswing.com/ Fishing experience With a dad who was a fly fishing guide, it’s no wonder Dave took to the sport from such an early age. Guiding himself by the age of 12, Dave spent many days guiding other folks on the river. While Dave has a ton of experience fishing trout and steelhead fly fishing, he still has a long bucket list when it comes to the saltwater species. He is particularly looking forward to his first tussle with the silver king – tarpon. Wet Fly Swing Podcast host Dave Stewart enjoying some beautiful scenery and steelhead!

Dave Conley was working in a job he hated as a tech executive. He smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and was 330 pounds. He was miserable. One day he came home from his soul-sucking job to find his beautiful wife sick on the couch, struggling to breathe. Sixty hours after he checked her into the hospital, he turned off life support. Over the following two years, he crawled out of that deep depression, lost 150 pounds, ditched the cigarettes, quit the job he hated and embraced radical self-care. Now Dave helps people who were just like him. He helps people choose health and happiness over fat and misery. He helps people create their own radical self-care practice and change everything. He can help you reclaim your life.

Dave Lukas is an entrepreneur, father, and fitness enthusiast. His successful business, Grasp Technologies got off the ground with what Dave calls, our rag-tag crew of Misfits. Dave realized that we all have an inner misfit, an inner genius, maybe even a hidden genius that is in every single leader, employee, and even you. If only you can unpack that inner Misfit. Around 4 years ago, Dave and his wife traveled to China to meet and bring home their daughter, Hannah Jade. In his own words; it was a surreal and humbling experience. Around the same time, Dave decided to start his own Inner Misfit Podcast, where he would not only interview outstanding individuals with hidden misfit genius, he would also publish episodes where he would directly speak to his daughter, offering advice and wisdom she and others could refer to at any time. Now Dave enjoys life as a grateful, caring father as well as a successful entrepreneur and podcaster.

Harv Eker (Author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind) Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has effected my emotions in that, I've learned to control my emotions a lot better. When I was younger I used to be very quick-tempered and very quick to react to things. Later I would know that it wasn't the right reaction. So learning to control in the moment (and some of that is your conditioning too), but learned to control in the moment and stop yourself, I have a process I call, "Stop, Ask, Choose". Stop yourself, ask yourself how you want to respond in that situation, and then choose the right path forward. I've conditioned myself to do that in a split second over the years for decisions, so it's made a big difference. Thoughts on Breathing Every morning I have an exercise that I call "My Daily Prime". It takes about ten minutes. I make sure nothing's on, it's dark, I'm by myself, nobody's usually up. So I take the time to center myself, breathing, three or four minutes. Just to breathe in deep and get calm and clear in my head. Then I write the three things I'm grateful for on that day and sometimes they're very deep, and sometimes it's about the beautiful morning, whatever comes to me. From there I write down my "Three To Thrive". Those are my three things that are the most important I can do for the day. For instance for today it was this interview. I wanted to make the most out of it for you and for your audience and to be present. Then I end it with some deep breaths and visioning for the day, what I'm going to accomplish and then I get started. Suggested Resources Book: An Astronaut's Guide To Life On Earth by Colonel Chris Hatfield Book: Wild At Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by John Eldredge App: I use Pen and Paper as my process for planning. Bullying Story Bullying is an interesting thing. It's hard to answer that question now because of what I've learned over the years. It's like anything; you choose whether something affects you or not. This is from a mental standpoint; from a physical standpoint it is a completely different thing. If somebody's punching you in the face every day, that's a different thing. The key is to understand that you're only affected by the things you let yourself be effected by. You have that control. The minute you seed that control to someone, a bully, anyone, then you lose your power and you give it up. It's naturally yours, for you as an individual. With that being said, I do have an interesting story. Early on, when I was in Kindergarten or first grade, in my neighborhood there was another boy who was bigger than me. His older brother rode the bus every day. When we got off the bus, his brother would make us fight. The interesting thing was, that myself and the other boy had been friends because we went to the same pre-school together. Everyday he would make us fight and we would go round and round in circles and it was kind of the older brother who was the bully on both of us, making us fight. We did that for some time. We were actually best friends. He was the best man at my wedding. From a mindfulness standpoint, if we had both banded together and stood up to the brother and had the wherewithall and the mindfulness, the emotional intelligence to say, 'we're going to choose not to do this and you can't make us'. There was really nothing he could have done. That would have ended it pretty fast and he wouldn't have done that any more. That's an example of what I could have done if I had had that emotional intelligence or awareness and being conscious in that way to make a difference. You can use that across any situation as you get older. It happens in business a lot too. People try to throw their weight around. We deal with some of the largest corporations in the world and when it comes to negotiating things, they're a big company. So this is how it's going to be. It takes a lot of courage to say, that is not how we work, so that's not how it will be or we're not going to do business together. I think people respect that, if it's done tactfully and done in the right way.

Show Notes Today's message is about how sometimes we make choices out of obligation or responsibility that make us unhappy BUT we can decide how those choices affect us.  We can change our attitude about those choices so we can get the most of our lives right now. NOTE - If you like today's message help us spread the word by leaving a good review and telling a friend.  Thanks in advance!   Show Transcript Welcome to the Made for Great Podcast My name is Annena G., I am your host and it is my pleasure to be with you. This is Episode 3– And today’s message is - When your choice is the responsible thing to do. My friend Dave’s contract with his old employer was ending and even though he had plenty of time to find a new job he procrastinated and only started looking for work a month before it ended.  However, luckily for him, his buddy got him on with his employer. In his new job, Dave makes the same amount of money as with his old employer except with less responsibility.  He has full health benefits and 401K and his new employer is a large corporation with lots of opportunities for growth. It sounds pretty good except for one important thing, Dave hates desk jobs. You see Dave is what I call a free bird.  The outdoors type who loves to build things and to work with his hands.  He loves the freedom to roam around, get dirty and sweaty. Dave’s new job is in a posh office, where he spends his days in a cubicle creating spread sheets and building reports. The only dirt under his nails comes from changing the toner cartridge in the printer.  The only heavy lifting he gets to do is when he changes the 5 gallon water bottle for the break room water cooler. In truth Dave will never get satisfaction from his new job, it is not a fit for him. It is like putting a leash on a wild animal, it never works. So why did Dave take the job when he knew that he would not be happy with it? Well, Dave had to make a quick decision because of his habit of procrastination.  He simply ran out of time. He had 2 options – take the job offer which means security and stability OR don’t take it and try to find a job that he would love. Now Dave is single, no kids and has a little money in the bank that could’ve carried him for a few months if needed.  His housing expenses are low so he didn’t have any huge obligations to worry about. He could have lived off his savings and possibly unemployment while searching for a job that would make him happy.  The only problem was he did not have a plan nor a specific field in mind.  He only had a few ideas of possible careers that might fit him. No plan meant big risk of his savings running out before he figured out what he wanted to do and actually finding it. His decision came down to doing what he said was “the responsible thing.” But what happens when doing the responsible thing makes you utterly miserable, what do you do? If you are like Dave and have made a choice like taking a job that you really hate, I want to tell you, THAT job doesn’t have to be a life sentence of misery and compromise.  We all have to make sacrifices from time to time.  However, what matters the most is what you do when you are in a job that you don’t like. This is what I call looking for the good in an unfavorable situation.  Taking that job is an opportunity to find contentment in your current position, even when you don’t like it.  You can decide to be happy no matter where you are and no matter what you are doing because happiness is a choice. This job may not be a fit for you but if you shift your perspective, you can look at it as a training ground and not as your final destination.  Use it to refine your skills and learn new things, while developing a plan to find a career that will make you happy. You may not realize it but there might be somethings that you need to learn, like patience and how to become a team player.
