The ReDefined Podcast

Why do I do this podcast? Why am I writing these blogs?

This work is hard work. It is hard work to be redefined. Somethings happen in a moment, and other things take a while. this episode discusses that.

I am not naturally a good listener, recently I listened to an interview that Simon Sinek did where he talked about listening and it got me thinking. Listening is so key in transformation, as you don't know, what you don't know.

We talk about transformation, fitness, nutrition, and discipline.

I talk about what it took for Abraham to not stagger at the promises, and how Paul made it through all the persecutions.

These 3 phrases by @jockowillink @jordan.b.peterson and @brenebrown have been my constant this year.

I talk about the secret ingredient behind one of the biggest changes in my life, going from porn addiction to being free

This week Kylie was very concerned with a scare that we had with her Nana. It isn't my place to tell Nana's story, but Nana is ok.

I talk about relationships and how I see the correlation to race relations in America. I am nobody and I probably make mistakes while talking about this. I welcome feedback at:

What would happen if you could transform the environment at work?

Kylie "reads" from the Bible and talks to us for 5 minutes. She is so cute and cracks me up.

I tell the story of Jacob in a way you've probably never heard. I actually love Jacob and his story launched this journey for me.

"Courage over comfort." - Dr Brene Brown

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly..." President Theodore Roosevelt

Kylie "reads" from the Bible and then quotes all the scriptures she knows, which might be more than you know. She, in her way, talks at then end about Jesus' love and protection. She is learning.
