Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

I found a post that had 4 statements of Japanese wisdom and it comes from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where these powerful reminders are shared for ALL OF US to connect with (including me for sure!)  1. If it’s not yours, don’t take it.  2. If it’s not right, don’t do it.  3. If it’s not true, don’t say it.  4. If you don’t know it, shut up!  Now I recognize that so much of the world, especially in the USA, seems to be going aga...

Watching and Listening to some powerful videos in the Mental Toughness Forum (#MTF2025) with Ben Newman (@ContinuedFight) and one of the speakers, Drew Hanlen (@DrewHanlen) who shared these “5 What’s” we need to ask ourselves. This point he shared got me thinking about sharing these with you - "You can't keep doing the same things expecting different results. A lot of times, it's us that's holding us back."...

I found a fabulous and easy to see connection to life.  All coming from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this was shared: “Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life.”  So easy to see a river rushing by and realizing how accurate this is. I’ve been trying to focus on more moments of life so I can at least say I touched the ...

Listening to Ben Newman’s “Mental Toughness Forum, 2025” (https://mentaltoughnessforum.com/) and one of the many speakers he has lined up to help others is Jen Gottlieb (Instagram & Twitter / X: jen_gottlieb), (Facebook: jenleahgottlieb),   and she “is the bold voice behind some of today’s most visible and profitable personal brands.” One of the many things from her video is something that she wants to never forget and she want...

I recently found a post from a leader & educator that really connected with me. Danny Steele (@SteeleThoughts) shared this thought that is so easily seen in today’s society -  “It’s easier to throw stones than it is to make tough decisions.  And sometimes… being a leader involves coming to terms with the fact that any decision you make, will be the “wrong” one to a whole lot of people.”  The 3 C’s (Criticizing, Condemning, and ...

I stumbled across another take on the importance of Gratitude and it came to me from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) - “Gratitude: Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” Not only is this something to spend some time connecting with, but I also shared that @JOLearyInspires shared a powerful thought.  He mentioned that when we acknowledge the good,we MUS...

I came across something that simply reminded me that it’s up to me!  From Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”  No matter what I have thrown at me, the environment around me (which has been incredible, thanks to my parents, grandparents, etc.), my choices do indeed matter. It’s up to me as to where I go with my life. No matter what others say or do, I’m ...

The one and only Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) comes up with another assist as he shares a wonderful & powerful post that made a tremendous connection with me as soon as I read it. It said: “Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength - carrying two days at once.  It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” - Corrie ten Boom.  Talk abou...

Found a great list of 8 items that I think would add tremendous value to anyone who takes them to heart. This came from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) and it’s all about doing a “Life Audit”. What a great list to take a reflective look at, I know I need to for sure. This list is all about health, fitness, personal development, career, relationships, self-care, home, life and free time. A powerful map for life.  Thanks for listenin...

While at the gym yesterday, lifting “little weights”, I found myself listening to Ben Newman’s podcast, listen to it HERE. I found myself having to record this thought in my notes to share on a podcast. Simply stated: “Be the best you can be, one day at a time!” In the little moments we have every day, we can look to win them a bit more than normal. Following through on a promise we make to ourselves or someone else. Replace a bad ...

Found an awesome & funny thought here that is right on target in our lives today. It came from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and they reminded us that: “Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.” - Sushant Singh.  What a true statement for each and everyone of us. If we don’t like “our channel”, change it. If we don’t like the “input”, change it. There are times to change our “volume” in life....

Saw this powerful post directed mainly at teachers, but it is total truth for everyone!!  From Chris Quinn (@ChrisQuinn64) - “Great leaders never forget what it’s like to be a teacher or a student.” This is one thing that I tried to get my students to understand every year I was a teacher. Life is all about always being a student, no matter if you are in school, working in a school or not.  People that realize that life is a teache...

I found a great post that reminded me the importance of being a consistent person, every day!  This one comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it’s titled “Consistency Wins:  Because it’s not what you do once in a while that matters.  It’s what you do every day.”  I have been trying to work on this mindset for a long time and still haven’t figured it all out. But, I’m open to keep trying for sure. I think all of us could d...

Finally got to have a guest on my show and it’s an easy home run to have Coach Dave Ruekert (davidruekert@gmail.com). There is a lot to catch up with him and this conversation not only does that, but also teaches some valuable lessons too.  Not only is he a great educator and coach, he’s an awesome friend and an all-star of a husband & father too.  The ups and downs of life that we all have - some wonderful discussions here on ...

Came across a good reminder for all of us as to how valuable this asset really is for all of us.  Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) shared a quote from Kevin Gates which simply said, “Anything lost, can be found again, except for time wasted.”  Now, I know I have wasted plenty of time throughout my life that I can’t get back. The only thing from those times are lessons that I still need to learn I guess.  I’m learning a bit bette...

This difference-making guy keeps putting great thoughts out there. The guy, is Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and the question he is sharing is -  “What can we learn from this?”  The “this” is everything going on in our lives! This got me to post this about what he shared:  Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “Life always presents moments of learning…” I’m trying to remind myself lately and quite frankly, I need to do this every single ...

I saw this post from Sahil Bloom (@SahilBloom) who reminded us to  “Just show up.” It’s something that I’ve heard before but this one hit me a bit different with his notes that he left for himself. Here they are:  “The key in life: Show up.  Show up when it’s hard. Show up when it’s messy.  Show up when no-one’s watching. Show up when you don’t feel like it. Show up when the rewards are uncertain. Just show up.  You can never bet a...

Once again, lessons pop up when I need them and it’s also connected to the fact that I still need to learn (or relearn) these important lessons again. Remember - Lesson repeated, until lesson learned. This teachable moment comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) “Bigger dreams call for healthier habits and healthier habits require more self discipline.” The reason this spoke right to me was that I was just thinking about this l...

I ran across John O’Leary’s podcast (@JohnO’LearyInspries) and you can listen to it HERE.  It got me thinking about all the times we run into people, we never know what they are going through. We are all going through things, some good, some not so good.  If we can approach people with a bit more kindness, empathy, encouragement, etc., we might find some connections with them that we never say coming. One thing for sure, the world ...
