His rise in acting is reflected in his roles on some of entertainment's biggest cultural phenomena, including 'Bloodline,' 'The Walking Dead,' (one of the most-watched cable TV series in history) 'Red Dead Redemption II,' 'Madden NFL 20,' ‘The Outsider,' ‘Identity Thief,' ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,' and Marvel's 'Hawkeye' miniseries on Disney+, where he played the villainous role of Enrique in the Tracksuit Mafia. Carlos is one of only a few Latino actors to cross both the “The Walking Dead” and Marvel comic book movie franchises. Carlos is also a co-host of the #1-rated Orlando talk show “Monsters in the Morning” on iHeartRadio's Real Radio 104.1 (he started at Real Radio at age 17), where he entertains a local and national audience for FIVE HOURS a day LIVE. “Monsters in the Morning” is also the #1 podcast in Florida and #35 podcast in the country on iHeartRadio. In 2022, Carlos and the entire hosting team at the “Monsters in the Morning” were named to TALKERS magazine's list of the “100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America”.

He also volunteers at multiple charities every year in the Orlando metro area, including the Mustard Seed of Central Florida, a nonprofit furniture and clothing bank that helps rebuild the lives of families and individuals who have suffered disaster or personal tragedy. Carlos' latest project is happening on a new stage — as a personal development mentor, coach, and speaker, where he helps others learn to dig deep, strive for the top, and realize their passions. Carlos is a family man with a beautiful wife and two daughters who are his inspiration in every endeavor he pursues.   RESOURCES: Evergreen Podcast Network - EvergereenPodcasts.com Thoughts That Rock – ThoughtsThatRock.com Certified Rock Star - CertifiedRockStar.com Booky Call - https://www.bookycall.com Booky Call - Book Review App on Apple - Apps.Apple.com Booky Call - Book Review App on Google Play - Play.Google.Com  Service That Rocks: TCreate Unforgettable Experiences and Turn Customers into Fans (Jim Knight) - ServiceThatRocksBook.com Leadership That Rocks: Take Your Brand's Culture to Eleven and Amp Up Results (Jim Knight) - LeadershipThatRocksBook.com Culture That Rocks: How to Revolutionize Your Company's Culture (Jim Knight) – CultureThatRocks.com Black Sheep: Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You (Brant Menswar) - FindYourBlackSheep.com Rock ‘n Roll With It: Overcoming the Challenge of Change (Brant Menswar) – RocknRollWithIt.com Cannonball Kids' cancer – CannonballKidscancer.org Big Kettle Drum - BigKettleDrum.com Spectacle Photography (Show/Website Photos) – SpectaclePhoto.com Jeffrey Todd “JT” Keel (Show Music) - JT Keel Learn more about your ad choices.

Our guest this week to share 3 thoughts on this topic is Melissa Wiggins, who is the Founder of Cannonball Kids cancer Foundation and now a Master Certified Life Coach, helping women (and couples) to encourage and empower them to become the best version of themselves.    TOPIC:  How to Find the Right Life Coach   GUEST: Melissa Wiggins   THOUGHT #1 Decide on a Budget - How Much You Are Comfortable to Invest in Yourself?   THOUGHT #2 Treat It Like You Are Dating - Get as Much Information as Possible Before Making a Decision   THOUGHT #3 Start at the Result - Review Testimonials from Previous Clients   CONNECT: Website: MelissaWiggins.Life Podcast: Coaching and a Cup of Tea with Mummabear Book: Thankful for the Fight Instagram: @coachmummabear_   MELISSA WIGGINS' BIO: Melissa Wiggins, a Scotland native, is a proud mum of 5, and an advocate for change in pediatric cancer. She holds a law degree from the University of Glasgow (2004-2006) and worked as a commercial litigation solicitor prior to moving to Orlando in 2010, where she gained court experience and a background in advocacy.  When her first born son, Cannon James Roland Wiggins, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and she was about to give birth to twins, her full-time calling for 3.5 years became saving her son's life. Melissa and her husband Michael founded Cannonball Kids' cancer, a nonprofit pediatric cancer research foundation in 2015. Cannon, his cancer journey, survivorship, and her family's experience, inspired her to write her first book “Thankful For the Fight'' in which she shares her family's heartbreaking and inspiring cancer battle.  Melissa proudly wears the hats of stepmum, bio mum, adoptive mum, and most recently, grandmother - all by 36!  Melissa is now a Master Certified Coach and has since worked with countless women, encouraging, and empowering them to become the best version of themselves – or as she likes to say, helping them “get ripped on the inside – that their insides match their outside.” Melissa has had the privilege of speaking on stages across the globe from keynoting at Glasgow Children's Hospital, to the SF Giants stadium, and the private home of Dick Vitale, ESPN megastar.  Mummabear is her moniker and it is also a metaphor. Life is hard but we can do hard things. Strength does not come from life being easy. Radical changes in the way we live our lives, or practice medicine do not come from our silence. It comes from finding our ROAR. Melissa knows that to live your truth, you must first find your voice. Her ROAR, saved her son, changed her marriage, and transformed her life. Today, she is passionate about sharing this message and this work with women around the world.    BRAND RESOURCES: Evergreen Podcast Network - EvergereenPodcasts.com Thoughts That Rock – ThoughtsThatRock.com Certified Rock Star - CertifiedRockStar.com Booky Call - https://www.bookycall.com Booky Call - Book Review App on Apple - Apps.Apple.com Booky Call - Book Review App on Google Play - Play.Google.Com  Service That Rocks: TCreate Unforgettable Experiences and Turn Customers into Fans (Jim Knight) - ServiceThatRocksBook.com Leadership That Rocks: Take Your Brand's Culture to Eleven and Amp Up Results (Jim Knight) - LeadershipThatRocksBook.com Culture That Rocks: How to Revolutionize Your Company's Culture (Jim Knight) – CultureThatRocks.com Black Sheep: Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You (Brant Menswar) - FindYourBlackSheep.com

Purpose, Black Sheep, Values, Family, Leadership   Summary   What's the relationship between our values and our happiness? We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, Brant Menswar looks at how we can go about discovering--and I mean truly discovering--what those values are.   Bob's Thought of the Day   We'll explore:   The difference between happiness and pleasure. My definition of happiness: a genuine and ongoing feeling of joy and peace of mind, the result of living congruently with one's values. Why our actions must be congruent with that which we hold to be of value.   Interview with Brant Menswar   You'll discover:   The meaning of “Black Sheep” values and why they are so very vital to one's happiness. Brant's background as a true... “rock star.” How an absolutely terrifying family situation inspired a major change in Brant's life.  Why you must start with your non-negotiable values. The lie we believe about purpose. How to begin identifying your black sheep values.   Click to Tweet   “Every black sheep is 100% authentically original, and it cannot be twisted or changed into something it wasn't meant to be.” ~@BrantMenswar #blacksheep “When you discover what your non-negotiable values are, it's the activation of those values that allows you to choose a purpose in alignment with them.” ~@BrantMenswar #blacksheep “There is a difference between ‘important' and ‘non-negotiable.'” ~@BrantMenswar #blacksheep   Interview Links   BrantMenswar.com FindYourBlackSheep.com Black Sheep: Unleash The Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You by Brant Menswar Rock 'N" Roll With It: Overcoming The Challenge Of Change by Brant Menswar Book Brant to Speak Connect with Brant on Facebook Connect with Brant on LinkedIn Follow Brant on Twitter Follow Brant on Instagram Brant's Podcast   Resources   Endless Referrals: The Go-Giver Way  Order The Go-Giver Order The Go-Giver Leader Order The Go-Giver Influencer GoGiverSalesAcademy.com Endless Referrals: The Go-Giver Way 2-Day Workshop TheGoGiver.com GoGiverSpeaker.com Burg.com  How to Post a Review  

What are the deeply held core values that guide you when you are making the hardest decisions? Do you spend your time focusing on those values or floating from idea to idea with no real purpose or end goal in mind? My guest today is Brant Menswar, the author of Black Sheep: Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You.  He wrote this book to help people identify what matters most in the moments that matter most, and today we discuss the importance of deliberately defining your values and knowing exactly what matters most to you so that you can take the most meaningful action every day.    Today we discuss —   What are your black sheep values? Do you know why farmers don't value black sheep as much as the rest of the flock? Everyone has five black sheep values that should be embraced no matter what. Your non-negotiable values have to be separated from your important values — what matters most? You cannot find your purpose if you can't define what your core values are.   What is the value of purpose? 99% of us are just winging it — why is that a problem?  You can't do anything on purpose if you're just winging it. There is a massive difference between being intentional and living your life with deliberate intention.  Don't try to find your purpose — choose your purpose.   What is a good choice? A good choice is born from your black sheep values.  A good choice is a result of all of the information you can access. A good choice honors what you are feeling in the moment.  The only thing that you can control is the deliberate intention that goes into making decisions. Your happiness cannot depend on the results of your decisions.    Four facts about your black sheep values  Truth does not have to be final based on the facts in the current room — do you have the right people having the right conversations?  When you don't feed your own sheep they don't recognize you — you have to engage with your values in deliberate intention every single day. Spending all of your time feeding other people's sheep distracts you from what matters most in your life.  You have to start by identifying your what, not your why.    Brant's book recommendation is Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life by Laura Gassner Otting   Brant's song recommendation is “Purple Rain” by Prince   Learn More: Advocate to Win The Elegant Warrior Playlist on Spotify Free One-Hour Consult Advocate for Yourself 10-Week Course Subscribe to Weekly Newsletters Brant Menswar Black Sheep: Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You by Brant Menswar Black Sheep Assessment   Brought to You By: Boyle's Naturals
