Bring It On

Ok....so a little different topic today. Wanted to talk about sales & building relationships & why that latter part is critical to your success in this arena.

Soccer season has kicked off. Embarrassing my players because I love them. Coaching is impactful & your more powerful than you think you are.

This is likely a depressing listen. A friend of mine left this world & she was so so sad. I'm struggling with it & I wanted to remind everyone of the impact they can have on other people. Even though sometimes it doesn't happen, we do have the power to affect change. It won't work every time but isn't it worth it to keep trying?

I've had several conversations this week revolving around this specific topic & it seems pertinent to get my happy a$$ back in here to talk about it.

If you're struggling, please reach out. To someone, somewhere. Face to face connection is a powerful piece to our lives. Be liberal with your smile, you never know how much it can help someone out.

It's been a month. Ugh. Sorry for being such a slacker. And this episode is probably garbage so there's that. Random ramblings. My brain is somewhere - I need to go find it.

This past weekend, Thursday through Saturday I had the great opportunity to attend Summer Smash (again) in St. Louis at 1st Phorm HQ. A weekend immersed in the people, the culture & the MISSION of why we do what we do every day. Kinda long winded. There is a funny recap of me being an idiot as well as Andy's speech from the opening ceremony on Saturday before the big party.

I truly hope you listen to this entire episode. Andy's message is nothing like you've ever heard from him before. All my love friends. Thank you for sharing the message.

No starting subject today so we just roll with it ;) With weather getting warmer it makes me think about heat training, electrolytes & hydration. And some random thoughts about intentional conversations with our kids.

Life, kids, advocating for yourself & your kids. Living the example and recording belches. :)

Looking forward to racing this weekend & also looking at challenging myself with some more difficult conditions & longer distances. A few thoughts on getting uncomfortable & communication.

Is it inappropriate to talk about snot & sleepwalking on a podcast? HA! Oh well. Our GAF meters broke a long time ago. Enjoy!

A little discussion about Impact on people & community today with my partner Danielle Schares. 

You ever have a thought that just nags at your brain? Like this picture in your head of something that you just can't shake? Is it the path or is it just ADD? Can anyone else relate? 

Oh my MAMA! I had THE most HILARIOUS experience last night at the grocery store......also, hopefully the volume level doesn't make your eardrums bleed from the intro. But just playing with some stuff trying to find my sweet spot. 

Kind of been in a life reflective frame of mind lately. The obstacle is the opportunity has been a theme for me for quite a while. Embrace the suck friends. 

So I'm nerding out a bit about some new audio equipment. I'm really wanting to add guests to my podcast & I don't want to feel like we're making out over 1 mic so with a little YouTube help, a referral from a friend & help from Guitar Center guys, I was able to get this setup set up! 

Some thoughts today on the process on reaching goals & the boring processes of making those happen. Following the plan & executing. 

My audio is straight freaking garbage so I apologize up front! But that cannot be my excuse to not show up. 2023 is here loud & proud & got got goals to crush. Let's go my friends!! Light your OWN fire & someone else's!

Sometimes its just a matter of showing tf up. 

Whew! I took a week off with a post Thanksgiving hangover but back again today. Not a day late WTF cast today but more back to the usual stuff....with a little squirrel. I should really make notes as I record so I can do the description better....noted for next time but today I guess you'll just have to listen to find out wth I'm talking about! ;) 

Today Danielle is BACK! And we discuss staying on track during the holidays & the mindset around sticking with it even if you don't. And some other stuff. Ya know....bc squirrel. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Why the Fitness on Thursday. Talking today about WHY we need to be fit & healthy. Why do we do what we do. 

Why is getting our physical health in good condition is so important. To us, to our kids, to literally everything. 

And I attempted to record video as well & well.....that didn't work out so well. Maybe next time. So just ignore the reference to watching the video, because that isn't happening. It also made my audio wonk, so here we are. Learning curve.

The past 2 weeks have been something else. 

Nah, I'm not talking about spousal relationships here....none of that. I'm talking about relationships between people. Being genuine in your give a $hit for other people. Stepping out of your comfort zone a little & talking to strangers. Building relationships with your customers & the impact that can have on your life & business. 

Y'all!!! I stopped using caffeine this week & lemme tell ya...it's somethin! I talk all about it on today's episode.

Celebrating the END of Burptember and running down some rabbit holes today. 

Today, Danielle helped keep on track from running down too many rabbit holes....although there are still some ;)

Together we talked about social media usage, mental health & butt-hole sunning. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first WTF Wednesday - Why The Fitness Wednesday - haha and you thought......

Today I tried really hard to stay on topic. Y'all know I struggle with this hardcore. But practice makes progress so here we go. We are adding more things to offer to our peeps here at the studio (Holistic Hippie) and we are working on creating more content to help more people. So here we go. And I promise, I'm working on reigning in that herd of squirrels, but let's be real - y'all know me. 

YEAH for back to school!!! I am super thankful we live in a community with a small, down to earth school. Nothing crazy this week other than schedules. Alex finally passes me on the height scale & Jena's question of the day may lead to day drinking later on. And some thoughts on volunteer coaching. 

Facebook jail/probation & I don't even know how I ran down the rabbit holes I traversed today. Laugh or don't!

I picked up my Do Epic $hit tank this morning & it reminded me of how this mantra started for me & how I've used it in my life the past several years. Crazy how a small little thing can turn out to have a huge impact on your life. Just like you can have a huge impact on other people's lives & you may never know it.

What I said to land myself back in the FB slammer. Yes, its dumb. No, I probably won't stop. 

3 hugely influential people in my life that don't even know me. 

I live to help people.....that's what I feel my purpose in life is. So being able to communicate & encourage while being honest with people is important to me. Overcoming obstacles, fear & doing it scared. 

All the rando-ness you've come to expect. HA! Happy Wednesday friends. Anchor added Spotify so my love for music is pulled in here now. May have to have some fun with that! 

A little rough last week. And today a reminder of how precious life & kids are. 

Banned again! Whatever, commie morons of censorship, bite me. And a whole other list of things that are making it more difficult to keep my mouth shut. 

Episode 116 bc apparently I can't count when my brain is in full head cold. Whatevs. Get out the tin foil hat bc I may have gone off in this episode & the IDGAF muscle is strong. 

Head cold brain got me all over the place....wait...this is normal. Some days just showing up is all you're gonna get. 

Being an active, productive member of society is our civil duty. Let's go. 

Some podcasts are worse than others....this one prolly ranks pretty low LOL Whatever....you can't be afraid to suck at something. 

I'm a farm kid. All kinds of interesting things happen on the farm. And a lot of them involve poop.
