Art of Adventure: Media Training for Entrepreneurs with a Mission

In April I got to appear on the awesome Art of Adventure Podcast for the second time.

Here's what I had to say: 

“The reason I became an entrepreneur is because I felt I had this mission that I was not being able to do because I was spending 50-60 hours a week working for someone else.” – Dale Thomas Vaughn

• The current US statistics on media consumption

• How to book yourself on the different media platforms

• How you can get through to the producer for your pitch

• The importance of your stories’ headlines

• How your content affects the shareability of your story

Having it ALL Podcast: Loving Your Otherness and The Myth Of Tomorrow

Matthew Bivens reached out to me recently and I had the privilege to share my thoughts about the barrier that all men face and the myth that holds us back from achieving our full potential. Enjoy!

"What the heck is “otherness”?

I know I had that question swirling in my mind when I was doing my research on my next guest, Dale Thomas Vaughn.

The word “otherness”was new to me, but what I learned in my conversation with Dale was that otherness is at the root of much of my personal judgements and fears, and neither of those will lead me to greatness. So when Dale started talking about it, I was paying attention!

Life Athletics Podcast

I got to spend some time with Nik Wood of the Life Athletics Podcast recently... here's the podcast where we talked about what it means to be a Life Athlete... to see life as something you can practice and develop and ultimately become better.

Let's talk masculinity.

“You can start to redefine what it means to be a man with every action you take... that is powerful.”

Key Points
1. You Have to Take Your Masks Off

If you want to live your life to the fullest possible capacity, you have to take your masks off.

You can no longer live your life in-authentically to please others, you must be true to yourself and who you want to be. Do not allow social, familial or societal norms to govern who you are.

If you believe in something that is controversial or unpopular, voice your opinion. If you want to live your life in an uncommon or even frowned up way, do it! Don’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of you living your truth.

2. Introspect

One of the most powerful tools in your arsenal for discovering yourself and your purpose is introspection.

In today’s busy world, we almost never have any time alone and in silence to spend with our thoughts. For Dale, he achieves this time by hiking, for you, it may be morning meditation, an ocean swim, or a long walk outside.

Do whatever you need to do to clear your mind and get the time you need to reflect on who you are, where you are going, and what you want out of life.
