Host: Conrad Weaver Guest: David (Diem) Leath Today's Episode: Side Hustles with Purpose About David: David (Diem) Leath was 20 years into his career as a police officer when he saw a need to transition into business. While many first responders make decent salaries, most have never been trained how to manage their money or even start new businesses. According to David, most frontline heroes don’t know how to talk about their 20+ years of experience in a way that translates into money. David is the founder and Chief Visionary Officer at The Hero Coach and he is the host of the Hero Academy Podcast in addition to being a full time police officer! On this episode of the PTSD911 Presents podcast David tells his story and how he is turning his side hustle into a sustainable business that will carry him well into retirement.

This is Motivation Monday! A short monologue with inspiration for your week…brought to you by ConjoStudios, and the Explore Purpose Podcast. Are you feeling stuck? I know I have been there. Not knowing how to move forward. I have a tip for this… so stay tuned.  My name is Conrad Weaver, I’m the host of the Explore Purpose Podcast and I’m a documentary film maker. My purpose is to inspire you to live a life that matters! When you discover and live out your purpose, you will have greater impact on the world around you!  I’m so glad you tuned in. Getting stuck is never fun. I remember sliding into a snowy ditch once when I was a teenager… it took a tractor to pull me out… But that’s not really the kind of stuck I’m talking about.  Perhaps you’re stuck in a job you don’t really like. Or your stuck on a problem your trying to solve, or perhaps your stuck in your career and don’t really know where to turn next. Or maybe your frustrated that you don’t seem to be getting anywhere on your project, that you’re not achieving the goal.  I’ve been to all of these places. And it’s not fun.  This I know. It’s hard to focus on the future…it’s hard to see the possibilities of what can be, while being stuck. It’s like you can’t see around the problem.  I recently had a conversation with a friend, Jim Whitt who gave me an idea… (you can hear my conversation on episode # 76 of the explore purpose podcast) He was talking about discovering purpose by going through a process.  In the process you discover purpose.  And I think we can use that same idea to get unstuck, or to be able to move forward in order to get to where you want to be…  It’s the process.  Yesterday I took a bike ride to begin the process of training for a cross country trip I’m planning for next Summer.  I only rode 13 miles and felt great but exhausted afterward. My mind kept going froward to next year, when I’d be riding 75 to 100 miles every day!  Right now, that seems impossible.  But I know the process of training will get me there. If I only focus on the goal, I’ll never get there. But if I focus on the process of training, riding every day, 10-20 miles at a time, I’ll eventually be able to ride 75 or 100 miles in a day. It’s the process that gets me to the goal.  So, what are you stuck on?  What’s the process that you need to do to achieve the goal you have?  Are you only focusing on the goal or on your stuckness ?  The process takes time. I have to be patient with myself while I’m working through the process. The process leads me toward progress.  There’s no progress without process.  Don’t be so in love with the goal that you neglect the process. I know I need to remind me about this regularly!   I love the idea of completing a film project and releasing it to the world. But if I only focus on the end result I’ll never get there. I have to focus on the process of actually making the film.  Work on the process and your success will come.  So that’s the motivation for today. What’s the process you need to focus on? Go out and do that today.  Do you want a rich and satisfying life? Focus on the process.  Thanks for listening, and be sure to subscribe and catch another episode of the Explore Purpose podcast coming up next week!   Go out and fulfill your dreams!  Thanks for listening, I’ll talk with you again soon.  Click here to sign up: www.explorepurpose.com +++++ Visit www.explorepurpose.com to learn more.

The discovery of his purpose was the catalyst that launched his career as a writer, speaker, business consultant and film producer. Having personally experienced the transformational power of purpose, he developed a process to help others do the same. That process is the topic of a book, The Transformational Power of Purpose: Finding and Fulfilling Your Purpose in Life, and is available in an online course. As a business consultant Jim developed a purpose-based approach to leadership and organizational development. That approach is the topic of another of his books, Riding for the Brand: The Power of Purposeful Leadership. Jim’s background and education have provided him with a unique perspective in the field of personal and organizational development. He grew up working on farms, ranches and feedlots, earned a degree in animal science at Oklahoma State University and spent a dozen years in sales and marketing with two Fortune 500 companies. He views motivation and leadership from three perspectives – scientific, psychological and spiritual – which are summarized in his fundamental principle of human behavior – without a purpose our only motivation is reward and punishment. Jim has taken his message of purpose in life and business to audiences around the world as a keynote speaker. His presentations are highly interactive and highly entertaining. https://www.purposeunlimited.com   +++++ Visit www.explorepurpose.com to learn more.

In Honor of the Ukrainian People, I'm reposting this interview I recorded a few years ago with Yulia Kyrpa. When Yulia was a little girl growing up in the Soviet Union, she had a dream to explore the world. She dreamed of sailing across the Atlantic and visiting countries like the United States and Canada. But this was only a dream. Travel was restricted in the old Soviet Union, and sailing was not an option. Today, Yulia leads one of Europe's leading law firms, working with international companies like Samsung, Google, and the European Commission, she helps coordinate financial negotiations with her beloved country of Ukraine. And Yulia also leads a winning sailing team representing Ukraine in competitions around Europe. What's it take to be a #GameChanger?  Listen to her compelling story.
