For a long time I have understood the importance of saying "NO". I learned to embrace this word. It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that. Understanding the many boundaries needed to safeguard my time and energy was a game-changer. Imagine, every time we say yes to one thing, we're saying no to a multitude of others. That's a lot of no's, right? And yet, embarking on this journey to assert 'No' more confidently has begun to clear the clutter, streamline my focus, and ironically, opened up more doors to what truly aligns with my purpose. Let's dive together into transforming our busy 'Yes' lifestyle into a purpose-driven 'No' pathway! Taking the advice of a mentor, I started scrutinizing my commitments through the lens of my purpose. Think of those moments where 'maybe' is just a softer 'no', and yet we hesitate. Whether it was opting out of that seductive fast food for lunch or ending the binge-watching cycles, aligning my actions with my aspirations meant embracing 'No'. And it doesn't stop there. It's about knowing our capacity, recognizing our true worth, and practicing the manifestation of 'No' to shape a life of authenticity and third-power living. Let's practice together; the first 'No' starts now. Takeaways: - Every 'Yes' carries the weight of a thousand 'No's. - Align your commitments with your grand purpose. - Understand your capacity; set realistic boundaries for a sustainable lifestyle. - Practice saying 'No'—it's not rejection, it's selecting your priorities. - Your purpose is your compass; let 'No' guide your journey to fulfillment.

In this episode of the Third Power Life podcast, titled "Thriving Under Pressure: Managing Stress in High Pressure Jobs," I dive into the art of stress management for professionals engulfed in high-stress environments. Reflecting on personal experiences, I discuss how stress can be both a bane and a boon, transforming from a passionate endeavor to a burdensome ordeal. I explore the atomic triad approach to tackle stress, emphasizing the importance of self-mastery, gratitude, and practical frameworks to mitigate stress. Through anecdotes and humor, I aim to inspire listeners to harness their stress positively, ensuring a balanced and fulfilling life amidst chaos. Takeaways: The Power of Perspective: Changing how we view stress and our approach to work can significantly alter our experience of pressure. Viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and finding passion in our endeavors can transform stress from a negative force to a motivating one. Gratitude Practice: Regularly engaging in gratitude exercises for different aspects of life can effectively reduce stress. Acknowledging what we are thankful for, even in high-pressure situations, can shift our focus from stress to appreciation, enhancing our overall well-being. Effective Frameworks: Implementing practical frameworks, such as time management techniques and the Pomodoro Technique, can help manage and prioritize tasks, reducing the overwhelming feeling that often accompanies high-pressure roles.

In this episode of Third Power Life I am asking "Who is around your table,?" It is one of my all-time favorite topics – the incredible impact our personal and professional circles have on our lives. You've probably heard me say it before, but Jim Rohn's three pivotal questions always get me thinking: Who am I around? What are they doing to me? And is that okay? These questions aren't just food for thought; they're the main course in our journey toward fulfillment and success. Now, let's talk diversity. It's not just a buzzword; it's the secret sauce to a thriving circle. Remember, no cloning allowed at this round table! We're talking diverse backgrounds, opinions, and experiences, all marching towards a common purpose. And speaking of purpose, I'm super excited about the Round Table program I'm working on. It's like a fantasy league, but for personal and professional growth, and you're all invited to join the founding members. But here's the kicker – it's not just about who's at your table; it's also about what you bring to it. Are you a giver, a taker, or the best of both worlds? It's all about that give and take, folks. And let's not forget about the personal side of things. Having buddies to chat about everything from technology to family life over a cold one can be a game-changer for life balance. So, who are the knights at your round table? Are they lifting you up, challenging you, and keeping you accountable? That's what we're exploring in this episode. And remember, this isn't just about me talking at you; it's about us learning and growing together. So, grab your seat at the table, and let's dive into this journey of discovery. Key Takeaways: - Diversity is Key: Surround yourself with a mix of backgrounds and perspectives to enrich your personal and professional growth. - Purpose-Driven Connections: Ensure your circle shares a common goal or purpose that aligns with your own. - Reciprocity Matters: Strive for a balance of giving and taking within your relationships to build a supportive network. - Personal Accountability: Regular check-ins with your circle can help maintain your focus and life balance. - Evaluate Your Circle: Regularly assess who's at your table and their impact on your journey towards success.

In the latest episode, I dove into the ever-so-crucial world of Continuous Self-Improvement. It's like this - if we're not leveling up, we're just inviting chaos into our lives, kind of like how a tidy room turns into a clothing bomb site if you're not careful. I shared some personal nuggets on how tiny, daily upgrades in all areas of life can fend off this chaos. I also stressed the importance of surrounding yourself with folks who push you to be your best. Because, let's face it, we're the average of our squad. So, grab your favorite snack and tune in as we explore turning life's little hiccups into stepping stones for growth. Remember, it's all about those small steps towards big gains. Can't wait for you to join me on this journey of getting better, one day at a time! Takeaways: - The gravity of continuous self-improvement in all facets of life. - Entropy as a life concept and why we need to apply energy to fend it off. - Small consistent actions trump infrequent grand gestures. - The importance of the right environment and network in personal growth. - Spiritual practice and mental exercises as tools for growth.

You know, as I sat down with a steaming cup of coffee this fine morning, I got to thinking - about us. About our relationships. Michael J. Fox once said, "Family is not AN important thing. It's EVERYTHING," and man if that doesn't hit home. So, in today's podcast episode, I dive deep into the art of nurturing our crucial bonds amidst the flurry of our 9-to-5's. It's all about legacy, my friends, about creating that sanctuary for our families, and not letting the grind tear us away from the very reason we're grinding in the first place. We're all guilty of it, right? Too busy earning money to remember the "why" behind it all. But I'm here to share some real talk on how we can flip the script. I've lived it—the long hours, the grinding fatigue, the relationships slipping through my fingers. And I've turned it around. Where there's a will (and a little ingenuity), there's always a way. Let me walk you through my journey and the nuggets of wisdom I've gathered along the way. It's time to give our relationships the TLC they deserve because if we're rocking it at work but our home life is on the rocks, then friends, we've missed the mark. So, let's roll up our sleeves and get to it. #FamilyOverEverything #WorkLifeBalance Takeaways: - Family is everything: Prioritize your relationships over work - they are your legacy. - Quality over quantity: It's about making the moments count, not counting the moments. - Make it routine: Simple gestures and daily rituals show you care, like the morning coffee ritual with my wife. - Dinner time is bonding time: No matter how hard, get everyone to the dinner table - it's worth it. - Open communication: Share your life and listen to your loved ones; sometimes, they don't need a solution, just an ear. - Self-care is key: Taking care of yourself is crucial to being there for others and being the best partner and parent possible.

Good morning, my fellow trailblazers and life navigators! Today, we're diving deep into the essence of what fuels our journey—our personal purpose. It's not just a buzzword for me; it's the very foundation of my TEDx talk and an experience that transformed my life. Picture this: a lighthouse in the vast expanse of life, guiding us through the fog of daily routines and existential quandaries. This lighthouse is our personal purpose, not just a beacon but a robust decision-making tool that helps us chart our course through life's tumultuous seas. Finding our purpose is akin to uncovering a treasure map to our ultimate success, transcending the mundane cycle of work, earn, and repeat. It's about asking the deeper questions—why the wealth, why the accolades? What legacy do we wish to leave behind? I've journeyed through this process, from lacking direction to helping others define their success across all facets of life. It's not just about financial or physical goals but encompassing spiritual, familial, and philanthropic aspirations. Let's ignite that fire within, refuse to drift aimlessly, and command our destiny with purpose-driven clarity. Because remember, if it's not a resounding "hell yes," then it's a no. Live life to the third power, not in mediocrity. Join me in this quest to not just exist, but to truly live with intention and leave a mark on this world that echoes through eternity. #PersonalGrowth #LifeGoals #Motivation #SuccessMindset #PurposeDrivenLife #UltimateSuccess #LifeThirdPower #CommandYourLife Craving a little more direction on your path to greatness?

I'm taking you on a little adventure through my personal library, which is as varied as my taste in coffee (and let me tell you, that's pretty diverse). From the epic fantasy landscapes in the "Throne of Glass" series that have me on the edge of my seat, to the brain-boosting insights of Tony Robbins' "Moneymaster the Game," I'm all over the map – literally and literarily! I've got a soft spot for the smell of a good book, the kind that invites you into its world with just a whiff of its pages. And yes, I'm talking about those real, physical books, the kind you can hug (and believe me, I do). But let's not forget the digital companions that make carrying a library around as easy as pie – handy, but they sadly lack that new book scent. Now, here's where it gets interesting: I want to know what's on your shelf. What gems have you uncovered that you think I should dive into? This isn't just me talking books at you; it's a two-way street. Let's swap titles like we're trading cards – I'm game if you are! So, as we navigate the pages of our favorite reads, remember, this is more than just a hobby; it's a way to live your life to the Third Power. Books are our mentors, our escape, and sometimes, our best friends. Here's to the stories that shape us, the adventures that await, and the endless conversations about that one character we all love to hate. Cheers to our shared journey in the vast universe of books! Takeaways: - Reading is an important aspect of personal growth and self-mastery. - Engaging with a variety of genres, both fiction and nonfiction, can broaden one's perspective. - Podcasts and audiobooks are convenient alternatives for consuming content on the go. - Engaging in a dialogue with others about reading recommendations can lead to discovering new books and authors.

Summary: Just got back from a late-night Magic the Gathering session with my boys, and wow, what an adventure it was! Not every game set hits the mark, and this murder mystery-themed one definitely had us wanting more. It sparked an interesting conversation on the way back, munching on snacks and sharing a collective "meh" about the experience. It got me thinking about the echo chambers we inadvertently create, not just in card games but in life. How often do we find ourselves echoing the same sentiments, reinforcing our own beliefs without even realizing it? But here's a twist - what if we could transform these echo chambers into something powerful? Imagine a chamber reverberating with success, positivity, and change. Join me in this episode as we explore breaking the cycle of repetition and tuning into a frequency of growth and positivity. It's time to amplify the good vibes and turn our echo chambers into engines of inspiration! Takeaways: Not every experience will meet our expectations, but there's always a lesson to be learned. The conversations we have can often become echo chambers, reinforcing our existing beliefs. It's essential to be mindful of the echo chambers we're part of and consciously choose positivity. Transforming our echo chambers can lead to a more fulfilling and successful life.

Let's talk about a topic that resonates with many of us—conquering self-doubt. Throughout the evening, I grappled with the message I needed to share, but it became crystal clear that the overarching theme of my interactions and responses today centered around the crippling hold of self-doubt. I candidly discuss our universal battle with questioning our abilities and whether we're on the right path. However, I reassure you that our potential for greatness is boundless; it just requires a touch of self-belief. From the vantage point of the 17th floor, I reflect on my own achievements and affirm that if I could transcend my doubts, you too can conquer anything that stands in your way. By believing in yourself, you are indeed capable of crafting an amazing life—to the third power. #SelfHelp #PersonalGrowth #Motivation #Inspiration #SelfDoubtConquered #UnstoppableJourney #BelieveInYourself #LifeToTheThirdPower Takeaways: - Recognize Your Potential: Acknowledge that you have the ability to achieve remarkable feats. - Self-Belief is Key: Cultivating belief in yourself is a critical step toward success.

I had an eye-opening experience on my flight to St. Louis. It was more than just a routine flight; it became a pivotal moment for profound self-reflection on health and well-being. Barely ten minutes after takeoff, a gentleman was ill, and they had to ask if there was a medical professional on board. This incident, coupled with the struggles of several passengers who found it difficult to stand up, resonated deeply with me, especially following our recent conversations about the significance of strength training and overall fitness. This mid-flight incident served as a stark reminder of how critical it is to maintain our health, not just for the sake of longevity but for quality of life. As I shared my personal health journey with you, including the ongoing battle with the double chin and the importance of physical well-being, it became clear that taking care of ourselves is a lifelong commitment. Whether it's spiritual, mental, or physical balance, it's all interconnected, and we must focus on each aspect to achieve true self-mastery. The episode is not just a recount of a journey through the skies but a call to action to prioritize our well-being at all times. Takeaways: - Health and well-being are non-negotiable, especially as we age and our bodies change. - Small daily efforts in taking care of our health can lead to significant long-term benefits. - The balance of physical, mental, and spiritual health forms the foundation of a well-rounded life. - Personal progress, even if slow, is still progress worth acknowledging and celebrating. - It's essential to have a plan for maintaining one's health, recognizing our current state, and striving for improvement.

I had the eye-opening realization that strength training plays a vital role in health and overall quality of life. It all started during a visit to a home improvement store, where the simple act of lifting tile boxes became my wake-up call. I've been dedicated to my health journey this year, embracing routines with push-ups, jumping jacks, and the motivational "don't break the chain" method, but I overlooked the importance of building muscle. Unbeknownst to me, my strength had waned over time, highlighted by struggles with lifting boxes and drawing a compound bow – activities that once came effortlessly. Facing these unexpected challenges head-on, I have now set my sights on incorporating resistance training into my regimen. While I value the impact of intermittent fasting and a consistent workout routine, I realize that strength is a game-changer not only for aesthetics but for enabling a higher-functioning, empowered life. Join me as I embrace this transformation and continue to explore the multifaceted approach to health. Whether it's lifting weights at the gym or lifting spirits through support and motivation, the journey towards empowerment continues. Takeaways: - The importance of strength training for overall health, beyond just weight loss. - Intermittent fasting and in-home exercises can be complemented with resistance training for better results. - Practical experiences like lifting heavy boxes can serve as a catalyst for change. - Building muscle improves quality of life and personal capability. - Fitness goals should not just focus on appearance but on increasing physical ability.

In today's soul-stirring episode, I found myself in an introspective journey as I discussed the importance of looking beyond the mundane cycle of daily life. It all began with some wholesome family moments practicing archery and enjoying the great outdoors—a stark contrast to the tightly-packed suburban life I usually lead. But as the day unfolded, talks with my sons about their futures led me down a path of reflection on life's bigger picture. It's the kind of day that pulls you out of the routine and makes you confront those larger questions about where we see ourselves headed and what we truly want from life. What followed was a heartfelt dialogue, first in the car then later on in my office, which doubled down on the importance of evaluating where we stand in life. Whether you're standing on the cusp of adulthood like my sons or more advanced in years, the message remains the same: it’s never too late to step back, assess your course, and make the necessary changes. Because let me tell you, time can slip by surprisingly fast. We often find ourselves stuck in a rut without even realizing it.

As a seasoned speaker and a parent of two incredible teenage boys, my latest episode delves into the nuanced dance of creating not only a parental bond but also a genuine friendship with your teenage children. It's a topic close to my heart, as I've experienced the profound joy and complex challenges that come with fostering a bond that transcends the traditional parent-child relationship. In this episode, I share my personal journey of finding common interests with my teens—whether that's throwing axes or playing Magic the Gathering—and how these shared activities have become a potent foundation for trust, respect, and enduring camaraderie. Throughout the episode, I peel back the layers on how I've managed to walk the tightrope of being 'kind of cool' to my son's friends by treating them as equals, listening to them, and respecting their pronouns and individualities. I explore the importance of mutual respect, the shift from authority to influence during the teenage years, and why it's so critical to connect with teens on their level. In this heartfelt and candid discussion, I open up about the importance of shared interests not just in building a friendship, but in maintaining my role as a parent who can be both a confidant and a guide through the tumultuous waters of adolescence. #ParentingTeens #TeenBonding #FamilyGoals #ParentingTips #TeenFriendship #ParentTeenJourney #FamilialConnections #BeyondParenting Takeaways: - Cultivating shared interests is key to connecting with your teenager. - Treat your teen—and their friends—as people with valuable opinions and unique perspectives. - Understand and partake in their world, but maintain the parental role when necessary. - Respect is a two-way street; it's essential for parents to show their teens respect to earn it in return. - The transition from pure authority to influence is crucial as your children enter their teenage years. - Creating a 'safe place' for teens to be themselves contributes to a healthy, open relationship. - A common bond can lay the foundation for deeper, more impactful parental conversations. - It's important to genuinely enjoy shared activities, not just to use them as a teaching or connecting tool.

In this heartfelt episode of the Third Power Life podcast, I dive into the raw struggle of confronting fatigue and resistance. There was a moment last Thursday when I lay on the couch, battling COVID and the all-too-familiar whispers of doubt telling me to take a break. But I recognized this as one of the universe's sneaky tests, and despite the technical difficulties with my computer and the overwhelming desire to give in, I decided to push through. It was an internal battle, unlike the external challenges I've faced before, and overcoming it meant not just going through the motions but also deeply exploring the nature of inner strength and purpose. I share this vulnerable experience with you to affirm that while exhaustion is natural, it's also a signal to dig deeper and strive harder. It's in these trying moments that we must remember our greater quests and shared purposes. Those whispers of doubt aren't our guides; they're the hurdles we're meant to leap over. So, whether you're facing technical difficulties, physical exhaustion, or a silent battle with your motivation, remember that persistence pays off. This episode is about not just surviving the exhaustion, but finding a way to thrive because of it. And always, I am with you on this journey, cheering you on toward a life of your own powerful design. Takeaways - Challenges and resistance are a natural part of life, but it's important to push through and not give up. - External challenges can test our commitment and determination, while internal resistance can make us feel tired and uninspired. - Even when feeling tired or exhausted, it's crucial to keep going and pursue the life we want. - Having a purpose and a quest to complete can provide motivation and strength to overcome challenges.

In this episode of the Third Power Life Podcast, I had a candid conversation about the beautiful, yet challenging dance of networking in midlife, and striking a delicate balance between home, work, and community involvement. Reflecting on a recent community service event, I shared my personal insights on how vital it is for us—as seasoned professionals—to step out of our comfort zones and engage with the world around us. The comforts of working from home have often left many of us isolated, so I emphasized the importance of connecting face-to-face and the rejuvenating power of social interaction—particularly after the reclusiveness many experienced during the pandemic years. I also touched upon the humorous realization that came with acknowledging my own aging, as my wife and I found ourselves tired by early evening. It's a gentle reminder that time is passing and that our energy levels may change, but our capacity to contribute to our communities remains undiminished. The podcast wraps up with a simple, yet powerful message: To get out there, share our gifts, and serve as positive role models for others. Whether you have a family, are a solitary entrepreneur, or somewhere in between, it's about living life to the third power. #NetworkingTips #WorkLifeBalance #MidlifeCrisis #CareerGrowth #ThirdPowerLife #CommunityServiceWins #MidlifeNetworking #HealthySocializing Takeaways: - The significance of networking and community involvement for middle-aged professionals. - Tips on balancing remote work with a vibrant social life. - Strategies for being of service and fostering a service-minded circle of contacts. - The unexpected benefits of stepping out and mingling with like-minded community members. - A reflection on how 2020 and the subsequent period altered our social habits.
