Aaron and I had a discussion on this topic and by the end of this conversation,  men and women alike should have a better understanding of how to ask someone what they need from you and how to tell someone what you need from them when you're feeling stressed and want to  vent. Enjoy!

"How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you"

I am your constant companion. I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onward or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do you might as well turn over to me and I will do them - quickly and correctly. I am easily managed - you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons, I will do it automatically. I am the servant of great people, and alas, of all failures as well. Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I am not a machine though I work with the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin - it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you. Who am I? I am:

We are constantly narrating our own story. That story is never more important than when life hits his us hard. When we're knocked to the ground and our feelings tell us to stay down. The story that we choose to write for ourselves is the force that gets us to stand up and keep fighting. This episode is your reminder to keep fighting, stay the course, and it will all be worth it in the end.

I CAN DO IT! We discuss how to find hope in hopelessness, how to use other people’s triumphs as inspiration instead of ammo to shoot ourselves down, and how to combat that voice that is telling us we can’t do it. Build the Machine!

In this episode, we discuss the importance of community and surrounding yourself with people that can aid you in getting you to where you're headed. "You're the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with."

Today's episode is about the importance of taking accountability for our situation no matter what the circumstances.

Through rich and diverse recordings from our listeners, we were able to dive deep into the idea of positivity, what it means to us, and how it impacts the lives of those around us. At the end of this episode we let you know how to get your thoughts heard and take part in future episodes.   

In this episode, Jordan and Aaron discuss why it's easier for you to 100% commit to something, than to give yourself a 5% chance to fail. "You don't plan to fail, you fail to plan." We discuss the importance of submersing yourself into the craft you're trying to build. The water is cold. Yes, it's going to be uncomfortable. However, you can jump in and deal with discomfort RIGHT AWAY, or you can dip your toe into the water so many times, before you decide it's TOO COLD FOR YOU TO GET IN. Jump in baby. You can swim. You got this.

On this episode Aaron and I discuss the importance of being vulnerable as a man in showing your emotion and not being afraid to cry when you need to cry. Look, crying is a bodily function we have for a reason. There's no admiration and shoving down emotions that you feel in order to be "strong." Strength is not putting on an act. Strength is vulnerability. Boys do cry.
