United By Stoke is RAVEN 425

United By Stoke 3 Business Tips For 2022 So it is the New Year, 2022, it is another day, it is a new day, and that means time to make it happen in 2022! So we have for you 3 business tips from us the Raven Boys which we are either implementing or will continue to implement in 2022. So coming in at #1 is NO Fear. If the one thing this last 2 years has taught us is; we can not get back time. For myself and for Shane we both look at it and will continue to look at it (and to some point base decisions off this) we are not promised tomorrow, and what if today was our last day.  This gets us out of our comfort zone and leads us to NO Fear for the future, we trust in the process! BTW that is not at all easy and it's something that must be done over and over again to make it an easier process. The #2 Tip will be to Find Our People, again with no time to waste or not time to mess around with, why be around people who either don't get us, don't understand us, don't believe in us, bring us down, and so on and so forth.  So why put yourself in that situation? Why would any of us waste time, energy and our soul to sit around those who don't support us and that possibly we don't support them? So find those who do support, those that inspire, those that make us smile. Again we have a short time to make our dreams a reality so let us not waste any more time not trying to make our purpose felt on this amazing planet! Tips #3, and this one is just apart of our culture and that is Good Vibes only, with all the doom and gloom being dealt out why not spread love and positive vibes, it is a much easier way to be. It is our natural state to be happy, to be in love with life, to be blessed by this life. We feel it's all to easily forgotten when the bad news keeps being pushed down our throats. So we will be upping our good vibe spreading for 2022.  Again we are not some bunny hugging, foo foo, full of crap brand. We are human we have ups and downs, but again the game plan is to have way, way, way more ups for 2022! In the show we snuck in a 4th tip cuz we love to over deliver... as always we appreciate you and can't wait to rock with you all this year! The Raven Boys www.raven425.com

The Scotch Creek Incorporation talk, this is not our normal discussion style topic however being part of a community and experiencing all we have gone through in this community as of late the chatter all around town seems to be pretty vibrant on this discussion topic. There are a lot of people coming into the Raven asking questions and even more sitting around tables talking about it for hours, so we thought we would ask one of the people who is involved in and has been active in this process since around 2003. I have heard business people, families, mothers, elders, and just every single concerned community member asking these certain questions....so this is how the talk went If you have questions please bring them forward All love all day for this amazing community!

Give More Than You Take To Win, with the Raven Boys! If you want to build a lasting brand, company or business this is something we put at the top of list. Some will get this, and some won't basically you either get it and live by it or you just won't get it and that is fine as well. However for those who get this, live by it, stand with it, and breath life into it.... you have won, in our hearts. More of this is needed in the world! We speak on things we are selfish on, which to us at the very top of the list is our health which includes the mental, physical and spiritual. We will not compromise these items for 1 simple facts and that is; to be our best for this brand company and it's supporters we need to be our best self point blank. We want to be able to give each person 110% of ourselves, as well as each aspect of the company from cleaning the bathroom to designing the new Spring Line for the year. We tend to shy far far away from those whom only extract from people or communities, and give less than they take, that to us just does not sit well nor fell right! All love Fam until the next episode www.raven425.com https://www.raven425.com

Winning Testing Days with The Raven Boys. In this chat we discuss an issue we are sure most people deal with daily not only in life but also in business however some may want to push or slide this under the rug… not us we want to highlight the problem and learn from it. We had an evening event to do and the day just got away from us in certain ways and from that we allowed some inner bitch moments to enter our emotions which lead to some other problems… take a listen to see what transpired and how we overcame them in turn, turning the negative into an absolutely epic night full of good vibes, laughter and love!! It’s a learning journey and we far from perfect…can’t wait for the next one 🙏❤️

Change Your Mindset Change Your Life 2024 with the Raven Boys! Ok so for this episode we changed locations and the mic, so we are continuously testing our sounds, we want our voices to be as sexy as they can! We chat about how our mindset has evolved, changed and strengthened as we continue down this path called Raven425, and it is truly amazing to be able to have perspective of our own growth. We want you the listener to understand the path is the path and its all about learning to keep the mindset on point, sharpened to a fine point! Listen there really is not any room for weak, negative and the defeating talk in your head...it will weaken you and you will loose, so find ways to counter act that. Its not an easy mountain to climd or beast to tame but it is very very possible, as we are a perfect example. So stick with us and come on the journey, you won't regret it! www.raven425.com @raven425

Our welcome 🙏 back episode, it’s been a long long while away from our podcast which we dearly missed. We have been through many many changes and challenges and the full grind of 7 days a week but we are committed to bringing forth our new found knowledge and learnings to our team 🙏❤️

Online in 2022 vs Brick and Mortar in 2022 United By Stoke Its just a fact we are in the Year 2022, we are in the Future that we all never though would be here. We are talking Metaverse, virtual reality, and just things we never thought were real unless in the movies or cartoons. So for the Entrepreneurs out there we are in that between area of what reality is our future of business going to be. Shane and I got into the online aspect of RAVEN 425 as we first started, and things were pretty darn good to be honest, yet we did branch out into pop up shops and selling our gear out of Crossfit gym's aka Brick and Mortar stores and we were actually blown away with the response and how the old school way of doing business was actually still booming and alive. Which then changed our mindset of what our business actually would look like as we continued to move forward and grow the brand. Moving forward how does one plan for the ever changing roadways ahead as everything changes on this landscape we call business. The fact is how humans do business will change, however humans will not change, we still want to touch, try on, be seen, hang out...and so on and so forth. As well some want nothing to do with the lines, the people, the waits ect and are happy to sit at home and order what ever it is they want.  With these options sitting in front of us the RAVEN BOYS will be and continue to attack both sides of this, we do not feel there is a better way, we do love to hang and meet our peeps so we will be expanding our brick and mortar area's this Spring Summer Fall or 2022 (this is extremely exciting for us) as well as continuing to keep up with all the online and future ways of doing business as we move forward. This is simply a fact for all those doing business from now on anyway take a listen to our views and let us know what you think. Much Love from the RAVEN Boys  www.raven425.com

Our #1 Go to Process for 2022 is Patience Our #1 Go to Process for 2022 is Patience, for this brand, for business, for life, for dreams, for our future. This has come about after being involved in Raven 425  Apparel for 2 years now, and it's something that has just organically come into our head space. For all of us trying to live our dreams, follow our dreams, fulfil our dreams, most of us don't think it can happen quick enough, but the fact is anything that comes that fast (most of the time, not all the time) will fade just as quick. So do you want to be a quick flash in the pan or do you want to be a long lasting glowing sunset? WHY WOULD WE SAY THAT YOU ASK? To be honest its simple because there is zero foundation being built on, and the foundation is the key. The process is the key and for that you need and must adhere to PATIENCE!  So if we give the example of building a house, we would not landscape the property first so that it looks all sexy and slick for all to see when the bulldozers have not yet broken the ground to pour the concrete...that makes sense right?!  Yet we all want the billion dollars, the million followers, and the fame overnight....It's the same damn thing. We got to put in the work and we have to respect the time and patience it takes to actually build something REAL, and something that will last! We have all heard of the 1 hit wonders that come and go, the lottery winners that make a million and then they are broke the next week, the accounts that go viral off 1 video never to repeat that success again, that is what happens without the foundation, the process, the PATIENCE of building a lasting empire. So as always the Raven Boys give it to you real and lay out the lessons learned over the past 2 years, and how we plan to move forward with this knowledge and Process in 2022! Always sending you love  The Raven Boys www.raven425.com

How to be the Best You Sparta 2020 Do you remember the movie 300? Sparta and the Spartans, now more than ever we need this type of mindset, this type of dedication, this type of conviction in ourselves. If we each did our best to be our best, I personally feel we would each feel and create a sense of empowerment like never before. We are each so use to having someone else make decisions for us, while following the rules, which has lead us all astray. If for one moment you can think about or envision a wild horse. A wild horse is what we once were. Go look at a video of a wild horse, then take a look at a video of a horse that has been tamed. This is us....

How To Overcome The Negative Influence of Others Why Do we let others Dim our Light? Why do we let others opinions influence who we are and how we act and interact with others? Why do we let society police our behaviours and actions?  This is something I continue daily asking myself and continue daily working on for my self to continue to elevate into the person I am meant to be and am becoming. Even after all these years of training and looking inwards and overcoming all the programming (sorry still trying to overcome) and all the pre hardwiring in my mind, I have found myself down playing my actions and who I am to either please, appease and or keep the peace with others I have chosen to work with, be around or partnered up with. I say this out loud to myself and each one of you, UNACCEPTABLE! This Is No Way To LIVE - Life is to short to Dim YouR LIGHT for anyone...ever...PERIOD! If they do not respect you enough, or respect who you are, then why would any of us ever choose to be around them??? It's them who are fearful, worried and care about what others think, so they use that fear to try to influence us into the NORAML BOX, that they have accepted!  F that and F them!!

Bare Foot And Learing The Ancient Ways The Simple Things I am super tired of all the weekend warriors out there who take a course (which is amazing by the way, love the fact we are all trying to better ourselves) but so so so so many of the students and practitioners I run into seem to think that there is this elaborate spiritual hierarchy that only a few people get to experience.  Absolute BS! There are no better there are no worse, there is only those who do, an those who sorta do, and then those who fake it!  So one of my biggest lesson on this last ancient session I was on, was so so simple that it actually shook something in my core, the saying IT IS THE SIMPLE THINGS, rang very true. So remember it is the Simple Things. I was the last one in line on our hike the "old timer" the man who has had the ancient knowledge passed down to him in his line of lineage, stopped me at the trail head and said "You Are Ready". Ok so I trust, that is all. I trust. No clue what he means, what we are doing, what the plan is. I get asked to take off my shoes and my shirt. Simple as pie. Then we commence on the hike in quiet and alone as everyone else speed along.  The things I learned in silence, and saw while everyone speed past....Amazing and priceless. Step up to 2020, step up to this new world we are embarking on, step up to your own power~ We talk Longevity through a Healthy lifestyle, a mix of Mental, Physical and Spiritual knowledge, the Mind, Body Soul trifecta - Negative 2 Positive Everyday www.mossamo.com Apparel- https://www.raven425.com Youtube- ... http://bit.ly/ignite-your-purpose Facebook- ... https://www.facebook.com/IYPurpose/ Instagram- ... https://www.instagram.com/IYPurpose/ Podbean - https://igniteyourpurpose.podbean.com

Stop The Madness We Are Back   I had the chance to train with some of the most saught after technicians in the soto zen game. Very last minute and very out of the blue, which is how you know the universe wanted it to be this way. I was in the back woods, trainning and learning some very deep ancient ways. More than anything though I was working on myself, my higher self.  So it's time to call out all the BS out there, all the fear needs to stop, time to level up team. Amazing things to come!

AI TAKE OVER OR A CONSPIRACY THEORY? Good old Elon Musk must know some pretty cool things rite! Did you know that most technology in movies has already been out to governments ect for I think at least 10 years. Meaning movies are not able to show the most up to date tech. So the public is very much in the dark as to what the newest of new tech is. Interesting right After an impromptu meet up at a local breaki spot today as a few of my people flew in for a wedding (which I was unaware of and not invited to) we braved the cold temps to have a quick sit down to just max, and relax, and shoot the S$%T as it were. The topic of discussion was the temp and how crazy cold it has been and for how long.  So not a let's save the world type conversation just classic 'we have not seen each other in a long time so lets catch up and just vibe'. Here is the unique thing for me when I (as always sit back and observe) the universe always teaches us something....Even when we are just gossiping! The one friend who came in from a warm climate said so what is the temperature exactly, to which we all looked at our phones ( Just another fact of life). Boom and this is where it gets weird. 5 different people, 5 different phone, from 5 different place yet all geo tagged to the location we were all sitting in, and guess what. 5 different temperatures were given. Weird right? Which one was right? Why the different temps?  We made sure we were all on the same location, we all made sure our location was set to current and yet still these different temps. The range was well over 12 degrees between them all. This then lead into a very heated fire side talk about A.I, how we rely more and more on devices, how we really wouldn't have second guessed the temperature if one person said ohh it's "XX" degrees out. So how do we know what we are being given or told or what we ask the device is correct? That's kinda a deep rabbit whole to go down isn't it. We have become headline readers only, we can't do math without using the phone, directions and numbers are a thing of the past as we just follow whats on the phone or app. Our attention spans continue to drop and we want things quicker, so how in the end are we fact checking or double checking if what we are being told or given is correct??? Just a little thought that came up today!

DENTAL ASSISTANT AND MEXICAN FARMERS A TALE OF 2 WOLVES. We all have these 2 wolves in us, these 2 sides to us the good and the bad.  It took me almost 15 years to realize it is a must to embrace both sides and to not think one is better than the other or that one should never be used or looked at. In actuality they both serve a purpose for our greater goals and good. Without looking into our "dark side" or what in sotozen (the form of mindset study I practice) our shadow self. Which is the part of us we never ever want to shine a light onto. For many reasons including fear, embarrassment and shame.  So I had as always a conversation this morning where this shadow side and this mindset thing we all work on was brought to light for me in 2 different news articles from 2 different countries and ways of life. The absolute best way to look at something if you want to grow in the spiritual aspect, meaning take out all the things we were taught and actually see things for what they are what they are meant to teach us! Very difficult practice by the way! This allows us to shed light on things through a different lens if you will and we can see something (possibly) for the first time. Without getting into all the details of what we go over in the show what was and is always right in front of us is some form of a lesson so that we are able to grow into the human we are meant to be. For me I mention how when I first got into mindfulness studies that I ASSUMED that you had to be a push over, that I should not speak up for myself, defend myself, think in a negative way. Yet the other side of me which trained with bad ass fighters and military personal felt alive form this mentality and training. A TALE OF 2 WOLVES The fact being we all need to take back our Universal right to self empowerment! Which is why the article of the Mexican Farmers who took matters into their own hands ( on numerous occasions by the way)  by simply knowing whats actually right and wrong (and acting on it), not thinking what others will think of how I think of what is right and wrong have inspired many of us to look deep inside and take inventory on what it is we are doing here on this planet and what is the reason for being here on this planet!
