Episode 010 | You Need Competition
“If you’re a true warrior, competition doesn’t scare you. It makes you better.” – Andrew Whitworth
When I was young, I was always competing. In sports, at recess, and socially for friends and "cool points". As I have gotten older, I have needed to continue to seek opportunities to compete as I no longer cared about being cool and I stopped playing team sports. I found my next competitive passion in powerlifting and now I have added in business.
Society at large has chosen to withdraw from competition and many have their their competitive fires burn out. This is detrimental. Without competition there is no drive to work, grow, and achieve. Society needs to bring competition back.

Episode 006 | Automating Success and Choosing to Fail
Everything that happens starts with a choice - success is no exception.
However, once the initial decision is made, we then can start to look at how we get there.
Rather than continuously choose to win, what if we could make winning automatic and instead make losing a choice?
Here are 5 strategies to make that a reality.
Episode 005 | The Gap Between What 'Is' and What 'Should Be'
