Even people who may seem effortlessly successful on the outside go through the same kinds of internal struggles as everyone else. Recognizing your power to control parts of your day and to choose consistency in working toward your goals is key to unlocking your full potential. This week, Cleveland Indians Mental Performance Coach Brian Miles talks about being present, quieting the ego, and committing to the challenges you set for yourself. When Miles is running laps in the morning, it’s always tempting to stop at six instead of doing the full nine around the field, he says. He’s honest when he talks about these small bumps in the road throughout the day because it’s important for people to know they aren’t alone in working past that inner voice that sometimes wants to give up. Taking back your power to achieve means making the choice to win the battle and recognizing that you have a say in your own success. It may feel risky or scary at first, but it ultimately opens up more opportunities in the long run. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

When Miles met Rick Macias he was a pastor and then he was not. The Christian life is never going to be perfect this side of Heaven. The two discuss how a person can find their way back after life's inevitable set backs.

Why can’t we have an honest conversation about color and race in America? If you’ve been following the news, then you know about the cold-blooded killing of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia. The unarmed, 25-year-old black man was jogging when confronted by two white, armed men in a pickup truck and fatally shot. Only once a video of the crime was released - more than two months later - were those men arrested. This crime is a reminder that we don’t just have miles to go— that racism is real and it's time to face this as a nation...as the church!   In this standalone message by guest speaker Miles McPherson at Liquid Church, we learn that it’s time for Christ-followers to stand up and lead the way to healing, even if the conversation is painful and uncomfortable.    Miles is a former defensive back for the San Diego Chargers - and he’s gone from the NFL to the pulpit. Today, he’s the pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego as well as an author and motivational speaker. When Miles talks about “The Third Option” - he challenges us to move away from an “us” versus “them” culture and instead to honor what we have in common with each other. Most importantly, that we’re all made in the image of God.    We hope you’ll join the conversation by watching this powerful message about race, privilege, and prejudice called “The Third Option.” Change must come, and it has to start in Jesus’ Church with you and me.

Miles Perret Cancer Services' Executive Director, Richard Stegall, and Sherry Hernandez, Community Liaison, spoke with Jan Swift of Discover Lafayette about the 19th Annual Games of Acadiana which will be held on August 17, 2019. This annual fun and family-friendly event was created in the aftermath of the tragic loss of Hank and Debbie Perret's son, Miles Perret, to glioblastoma. Their vision then and now was to help others in Acadiana fight, survive and live with cancer with dignity and to have access to the services they may need. Although Miles Perret lived only eight years, his was a life filled with curiosity, joy, and love. When Miles was diagnosed with cancer in 1995, his family determined right away that he would have as normal and carefree a life as possible. Their journey with him provided firsthand experience of the daily challenges of fighting cancer. Miles, unfortunately, lost his battle with cancer at the age in 1996. A few years later, the Perret family started Games of Acadiana, a family-oriented fundraising event, first held August 25, 2001. The amazing success of the first Game Day enabled the Miles Perret Center to open less than a year later to help address the needs of local families. Games of Acadiana is still the signature fundraiser of Miles Perret Cancer Services today, with approximately 100 sponsors making this free event possible. The Games are held as a tribute and way to say thanks to the community, the many volunteers that make Miles Perret's services possible, as well as the survivors who have bravely faced cancer. While the games are free, you can contribute to Miles Perret Cancer Services by buying a GPS wristband that gives you an exclusive look inside a few games at the event. Come "Play With a Purpose" and help our community fight cancer by supporting this worthy cause. You can also contribute by sponsoring the Games or giving through "I'm In" with any level of gift you wish. Visit www.milesperret.org for more information. Since 2002, Miles Perret Cancer Services has served over 16,000 families in Acadiana. In 2018 alone, 3400 families were helped. 100% of the funds raised stay in Acadiana. Parishes in their service area include Acadia, Avoyelles, Evangeline, Iberia, Jeff Davis, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary and Vermilion. They offer 25 services and programs to the community, including prostheses, wigs, nutritional supplements, transportation assistance, a variety of medical supplies and equipment, a Wellness Center offering exercise and nutrition classes, and support groups. The staff works closely with local oncologists and hospitals to ensure that their services meet the needs of their clients. Mobile Miles offers outreach services to clients living in the parishes outside of Lafayette to coordinate delivery of needed items and services. The day begins early with a triathlon suitable for all fitness levels for the first 350 who sign up: there is a 200-yard swim at UL-Bourgeois pool, and an 8-mile bike ride and 2-mile run along Cajundome Blvd. Visit https://runsignup.com/Race/LA/Lafayette/MPCSTriathlon for details and to sign up. Games of Acadiana starts at 10 a.m. with the Survivor Walk and Opening Ceremonies. At 10:30 a.m., the games officially begin. This year’s Games of Acadiana features over 50 games to be enjoyed by the whole family. There will be a toddler play area with a place to valet park strollers. Activities include life-sized Candyland, Home Run Derby, Hula Hoop, Monster Spider Jump, Zombie Laser Tag, and the Fastest Pitch game hosted by Rader Solutions, our podcast producer. Sherry's favorite games include Wipeout and Monster Spider Jump, which she enjoys testing out!

When Miles and Ari notice that Shmuley is walking around with a notepad, they try to guess what he is writing down.  Nobody could ever have assumed this.....   Silly and Funny Things are our family's bed time stories. Each boy (Miles and Ari) gets to pick a word that will show up in the story. The stories aren't edited (who has time for that) and they include everything from chit-chat to us reprimanding our kids - a very immersive experience. The only other thing you need to know is that the boys' have a baby brother nicknamed Shmuley and he is a baby genius.

It’s easy to get distracted from crazy headlines and overnight success stories. The truth is, that these stories almost always just focus on the highlights and disregard the challenges and hardships people go through. Today’s guest, Miles Beckler truly represents a rags-to-riches journey. Miles Beckler is a digital marketer, world traveller, and content genius. He runs Ask-Angels, a meditation website which has over 150,000 subscribers and attracts 8 million visits per year. In this episode, you’ll learn how to get through hard times, grow a loyal audience and build a business that you can be proud of. Background In 2009, Miles and his wife co-founded Ask-Angels, a spirituality website selling guided meditations and other meditation products. After some success, friends and colleagues started asking Miles how he was able to travel the world while working on his digital marketing projects. This prompted Miles to start offering insights and coaching via online video on how he was able to succeed as a digital marketer. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, his father came from the IT world, so he was always around computers. Like many of his friends, after high school, he went straight into the workforce, working in customer support. But after the economy slipped, he quit, borrowed $50,000 and took 7 years to go to college. After college, he worked in the real estate industry. Soon after, the global financial crisis hit and real estate was no longer a viable industry. Miles was left broke and without a promising career. But he didn't let that stop him. Miles felt a great surge of motivation to jump into digital marketing which offered much higher margins and much more promise. Miles and his wife, who is also his business partner, ventured out together into the world of digital marketing and realized that success was most likely to come if they serviced an audience. That's when they thought of Ask-Angels. To deliver their content, his wife used keyword research and search engine optimization on Wordpress. While she hustled their content, Miles ran an agency specializing in marketing and wordpress services to support their endeavour. Perseverance and Resilience There's no question that Miles is incredibly resilient. He was knocked down a few times throughout his career, but managed to fight through it. He uses a “hat over the fence” analogy to describe how he's able to keep his cool, it means to commit fully to something no matter what gets in your way. Any challenge he came up against, he was able to figure it out. He even says that, on the other side of the challenge is the breakthrough you're looking for. Motivation can come from a desperate situation, whether it's a dead end job, losing your job or just being fed up with your line of work. When Miles first got into Facebook advertising, what kept him going was visualizing getting through to the other side and what that would look like. He discovered how scaleable authority businesses can really be and he now lives an incredibly rewarding lifestyle. Building an Audience As mobile devices become more and more prominent, face to face communication is now a very rare thing. A lot of authority businesses have tapped into the human need for a “tribe” and Miles stresses that this is an important aspect to building an audience for your business. This tribe is a place where people can interact with their own kind, use the same language and relate around the same topic of conversation (spirituality in Miles' case). Another thing he points out is building trust at a large scale. How are people going to trust and continue to trust your online business? This can be a tricky part of digital marketing and is something worth looking into if you're just beginning your business. How To Sell Your Product After some career difficulties, Miles started meditating. He then met his wife who was also a regular meditator and they bonded over their practices and metaphysical interests. His wife trained with a mentor in “guided meditation creation” and brought this skill to their project. What proceeded was a lot of trial and error. As his wife created the content, Miles optimized it with keywords and kept putting it out consistently. They published their best content over and over and they eventually were picked up by Google. A key Miles says to getting noticed is being consistent. He followed a 90 day challenge where he posted 90 blog posts in 90 days and 120 videos in 120 days. If you post every day and commit to it, you will get noticed. The main products Miles and his wife sell on their website are mp3 recordings of meditations. When they first started, they’d keep track of the people visiting their site and would send them emails creating their first conversion. They then started sending out emails, offering free conference calls and other products. Through lots of testing and consistent content creation, they now receive 30,000 visits a day to their website. Currently, the website sells 180 different products like training courses, lessons and speciality meditations. Competitors Miles' brand and channel is unique enough that he can post videos only three times a week as opposed to every day. But he knows that if someone comes along with similar information and posts every day, he could be nudged out. There are several points Miles makes about competitors: Stay aware of your competitors’ behaviour. There’s room at the top for everyone. If you stay focussed on giving value to your audience, you will eventually become their trusted advisor. Do not underestimate the power of consistency. The hard work you put in, in the early years of your business will build trust with your audience and will no doubt pay off. Using Facebook Ads To Your Advantage Facebook ads can be powerful. Miles has become an expert on this type of marketing and he says the key to it is to tell a “story.” A long-form, 700-800 word hero's journey story will get a potential audience member more committed and interested in your product than a basic ad. People interested in improving their lives will either be able to envision themselves going on the same journey as the hero in the story or they won't. You want the right people to be invested in your product emotionally and a story is a great way to do that. Another way Miles optimizes Facebook ads is through a purchase conversion campaign; those who click on the purchase icon are added to a specific opt-in list to receive more content specific to them (free offers and shop-related content). But at the end of the day, Miles says long copy ads and video ads are the main type of ad that he and his team are focussing on. What Advice Would You Give A Young Miles Beckler? Commit fully. When he started Ask-Angels, there was a lot of doubt surrounding content and whether their website was even going to work. As soon as they both decided that this was their purpose, they fully committed to their website and things just seemed to take off. His wife started posting every day and Miles focussed more on his video content as he found he was more effective writing than creating videos. It’s important to focus on your sweet spot, do what’s in your DNA. Tune in for that and more on this week's WP Elevation Podcast!

Daniel Carbonel has lined up great internet marketers and entrepreneurs for his show, The Wake Up to Freedom Podcast, and today in Episode 10 Miles Beckler will sit opposite him in the hot seat to share some powerful insights on how to start a harmony business on the web. Miles Beckler tackles on the proverbial truths about life’s highs and lows and being someone who has hit literally rock bottom in his life and was able to turn that into big success is all the more reason why you should listen to him. Because once you find the freedom to create ideas and turn them into something powerful that helps solve people’s problems, then you become unstoppable! Miles’s Backstory Miles Beckler is the owner and operator of the Miles Beckler YouTube channel and Miles Blog where he’s helping people to start an online business. His goal is to be one of the most helpful internet marketers that’s why he gives away a lot of content training and tutorials for free that most people charge for. Because he gives very useful information for absolutely free he is able to build marketing funnels that produce leads, customers and then turn them into profits! His concept for creating successful businesses is drawn from the freedom to create ideas, which are 99.99% foolproof. However, before he and his wife became the big success that they are today they first went bankrupt with their internet business. What he was doing online is anything but a harmony business and he failed to make money in at least 15 business models while he was still in college. This endeavor and misfortune resulted in him, being the married man that he is, moving back into his parents’ house in order to pay off his student loans, which accumulated to over $50,000 and all the money he lost when he invested it in his online business. He even had to sell his car and his wife’s car just so they could get 9-5 jobs in the aftermath of their losses. Plus he didn’t have the freedom to create ideas – new ideas – to start another business that will hopefully get them out of their current situation. From Greed to Selflessness: The Path to Freedom to Create Ideas It wasn’t until after Miles realized that doing business isn’t just about making money no matter what kind of business it is, whether it’s an internet business or the old brick & mortar business the core principles are all the same. The one principle to have the freedom to create ideas and develop a successful is to give value to your audience that will help them solve certain problems in their lives. When Miles shifted his motivations and mindset from greed in simple concepts of making money online to giving free educational and helpful information to his audience, suddenly everything changed! For the first time in his career, he was able to successfully create a harmony business that helped people first and give value to them. He was able to get 53,000 subscribers in his YouTube channel and is making sales off of views and impressions as well as from product and service purchases that finally liberated him and his wife from the constricting crawl space of the average lifestyle. Miles found that the old Biblical principle about giving being better than receiving to be true and extremely satisfying, so now his goal to become one of the most helpful internet marketers today and the drive to pursue it has gotten even stronger. He, in fact, believe that giving is a spiritual truth that all people should practice in order to receive more blessings and abundance. This helped him to discover the path to freedom to create ideas and share that knowledge with his audience. Things that You Will Learn from this Podcast Episode: Get to know more about Miles Beckler Learn his principles to success Understand why giving value to your audience is very important and how you too can have the freedom to create ideas and succeed in your career Learn the step-by-step guide to creating a succes...

When Miles sat down with his wife Carrie to discuss her interpretation of friendship, it became clear that, to her, the friendships of her past were largely about managing emotions and diffusing conflict.
