"How To Breathe While Suffocating" with Bruce Brackett
My guest today is Bruce Brackett. He’s an artist, a motivational speaker, an author, and an advocate for mental health, recovery, and positivity. On his first day on Earth he was already detoxing from substances his birth mother was taking.
Then Bruce was thrown into a life of chaos and foster homes until his eventual adoption. He moved to New York City to become a Broadway star but the constant uncertainty and rejection led him to become hopelessly addicted to multiple hard-core drugs and supporting his habits by selling his body.
He has spent two decades getting intensive trauma therapy, psychiatric treatment, and rehab but is now clean and helping his over one million followers realize they are not alone and that they can get clean too.

The Epic Novel of Bridger Frederick's Life
My guest in this one has lived a life worthy of an epic novel. Filled with highs and lows. Twists and turns. Achievements and heartbreaks.
High school dropout, drug dealer to owning a construction business. Leaving it all behind to move to Australia with no plan just a sense of adventure.
A solo bicycle tour through the wilderness of Africa where everyone thought he was insane to moving back with dreams of striking it rich by being a cattle mogul.
And finally the horrific accident that left him paralyzed and almost killed his girlfriend.
Through all that he has learned a lot of lessons and shared a lot of wisdom in this one. A very interesting guy who is now on a mission to create a place where people can come to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. Bridger does big things so I can't wait to see this come to fruition!

Walking Through The Fire With Dave Albin (Part 2)

In Part 2 when we get into his dark past and this man is truly an overcomer. Dad commits suicide, thinks his mom is his aunt, becomes an alcoholic at age 11, life fueled by drugs and alcohol, and why he decided not to kill himself.

The Difference Between Encouragement and Praise
I've been working on a new book called "Relentless Positivity Mentoring- Raising Confident, Resilient, and Empathetic Teens: A Guide for Ages 10-14". I thought I would share one of the chapters to see if this resonates with anyone out there.
You've heard the terms "Praise" and "Encouragement" before, but do you know the difference? It's actually pretty important to know the difference and why one is much more effective than the other.
Let me know what you think!

David vs Goliath
I get the opportunity to go talk to local sports teams occasionally and do a prayer and devotional for them. It's a great honor and something I love to do.
People have been asking me to share what the looks like so I thought I would recreate one I shared with a high school football team before they played the best team in their area. This one was even more special because it was a lot of the kids I used to coach.
They asked me to share a message that was 5 minutes or less and this is what I came up with.

Best Friends Turn Dead Rock Stars into Secret Agents
What if Curt Cobaine and Elvis never died but instead have been secretly saving the world this whole time?
That's the premise of the new book by Jay Watson and Kyle Wiltshire called "Dead Rock Stars".
When I heard about that I had to learn more. I wanted to know how two friends decide to write a book together, what actors would star in the movie version of the book, how they work themselves into the movie, what the soundtrack would sound like, and a ton of other questions.
Kyle and Jay are great guys who can talk freely on just about any subject you bring up. I really enjoyed our conversation and I think you will too.
Make sure you check out the autographed copy of the book, t-shirts, and other swag on their website www.deadrockstarsbook.com

Christmas Around the World
This episode is coming out right before Christmas, so I thought I would explore some of the Christmas traditions around the world. Things like kind-hearted witches, hopping in a sauna, filling the night sky with paper lanterns.
There are some pretty awesome celebrations that I didn't know about. Then I talk about what this season should be about. Things like love, peace, and hope.
And a special message to those like myself who are missing a loved one during this holiday season. If that's you, I'm thinking about you and praying for you.

Why You Don’t Finish Things
The Power of Redemption: How Judge Bell Found Purpose and Transformation
This is a replay of an episode from 2021. I have been seeing a lot of people who are in need of redemption from choices they have made or from things that happened to them, but they feel unworthy of it. And that couldn't be further from the truth. Have you ever heard these myths about personal growth and redemption?
Myth #1: Redemption is only for the deserving few.
Myth #2: Redemption means erasing past mistakes.
Myth #3: Personal growth is a solitary journey. In this episode, Judge Bell will dispel these myths and reveal the truth about the power of redemption in finding fulfillment and purpose.
In this episode, you will be able to:
Discover the inspiring personal and professional journey of Judge Bell that can ignite your own path of growth and redemption.

Delve into the concept of being a "Hope dealer" and its significance in finding fulfillment and purpose in life.
My special guest is Judge Billy Bell.
Judge Bell is a remarkable guest on today's episode of the Relentless Positivity podcast. With 12 years of experience as a circuit judge and 30 years as a lawyer, Judge Bell has seen and done it all. Growing up in a small, conservative community in Florence, Alabama, he had a sheltered upbringing that instilled strong values. However, his college years at Auburn University took him on a wild ride, exposing him to a whole new world. Despite his successful law practice, something was missing in Judge Bell's life. It was a life-changing event and a promise made during his grandson's health crisis that led him to find redemption and a deeper relationship with God. Judge Bell's journey of personal growth and redemption is inspiring, and his insights will undoubtedly resonate with those seeking fulfillment and purpose in their own lives.
