If you are a longtime follower of the show, you know this is how we do at the beginning of every year. We start the season by setting our intentions through one word

This year, I’ve added a twist by asking a question that may be harder to answer than you might think. What’s the question? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out. We discuss:

It can be so overwhelming when it comes to getting your financial house in order, especially if you are a business owner or coach, so caught up in the day-to-day that you can lose sight of managing your finances.

Imagine working closely with individuals whose actions determine whether you live or die. Or you frequently work long hours in high-stress, high-paced environments, sometimes in isolated locations far away from friends and family. Maybe you have had to miss special occasions, your child's memorable first, or you have had to work during the holidays. Many spend years in careers like this, and their experience shapes who they be...

Men's mental health coach and transformative leader  William Baptiste returns to continue our discussion on becoming a husband.

Getting real about what it takes to have a viable, healthy, fulfilling relationship.

Relationships are hard these days.  It is hard to find someone you want to be with, and it is hard to maintain the relationship. Too often, people will find out too late, after they say I do, that the person they married is not their person. Or we stay in relationships that are destructive and drain every ounce of life out of us. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. But if you peel the layers back, and you are honest, you will ad...

Have you heard of the COVID 15? If you haven't, it is very similar to the freshman 15. You know you go off to college, and as you adjust to this new phase in life, you add about 15 pounds to your body. For the past few years, as a result of the COVID pandemic, many of us were primarily working at home, so we packed on a few extra pounds. 

Working away in our homes, we became sedentary, did not take good care of our he...

According to our guest today, we all have a hero inside of us. Yes, all of us. Not just me but even you too. But far too often, something stands in our way from letting the hero rise and guide us. What is this obstacle standing in our way? The Ego. 

The Ego likes for us to stay safe and comfortable; there is only so much we can achieve, and we probably don't deserve it anyway. It's easy to see what "they&quo...

Life can be hard. You will experience difficult times, adversities, and tragedies regardless of who you are or your background. These difficult moments can knock you off your feet, leading to unhealthy habits, divorce, and sometimes even suicide. We are not born knowing how to deal with these moments and are often unprepared when they happen. Once they do, we can get stuck, not knowing what to do or how to move forward.

As a parent, you often have dreams for your children for what you want their life to be like. You may put them in sports, music, or other activities, making them go even when they don't want to. You have plans for them to go to college and create a great career or to start their own business doing what you think they are good at. After all, you do know what's best for them, or do you…  What if you tried a different approa...

With the state of our country, or better yet, our world, men have to reclaim their power.  Men have begun to numb themselves to certain feelings and emotions and, as a result, are acting in ways that could be detrimental to society.  There is confusion as to their role and place in society, along with men struggling with how to resolve conflict and make peace with themselves and those around them. Can we find an antidote to the num...

Everyone likes to feel heard and know that their voice matters. It can be in our jobs, careers, relationships, or family. We want to feel heard, seen, valued and understood. But, if we take a hard look, we will see some of the biggest failures or misunderstandings in our work life and personal relationships are because, plainly put, our communications skills suck. We can be saying exactly what we want, but the person we are telling...

Have you ever worked for a boss who was just a jerk? They were such an inadequate boss; they didn’t even realize the impact they were having on their team. Under their leadership or really management, team members do not thrive; they survive. Turnover is high, morale and engagement are low, and most people do enough to get by. Our guest in this episode, Michelle D. Reines, was once a leader like this. But she was an ass as a boss.

As business owners, one of the main challenges we can experience is knowing how to balance our business and family. It doesn’t matter if you are a single mom with one child or a happily married couple with six children, you may have found yourself wanting to throw in the towel and call it quits. Not because you don’t want your own business but because you are having trouble managing your life. It may seem impossible, but in this ep...

I was getting a little nervous again. I had run into another issue with the podcast. How much longer and how many times would I choose to allow this to happen? What should I do?  

February focuses a lot on romance and relationships, so I started thinking about my podcast issues and how it compares to a relationship.  When should we decide to let go and move on?

In this episode, I use what occurred with the podcast to discuss what can...
