The AJNashville Podcast

As God-fearing men in the great country of America, we have allowed ourselves and our standards of how we should be operating to slip subpar. It is our responsibility to take the initiative needed to protect our family and teach them right from wrong, ESPECIALLY when society has a biased stance on particular subjects. We have to be the ones to no longer remain passive just because it's what all the other good little consumers ...

Too often we are not held responsible for the actions we do, thinking that just because we have a constitutional right means we can exercise those rights without consequences for our actions taken. While our country was built on freedom to bear arms, we as gun owners must uphold safety by becoming properly trained and aware of the very real danger that guns can pose when handled inappropriately. While free speech was something our ...

Some days, we have to be the authentic voice that carries, especially when it's a message most people don't want to hear. We get to choose our words wisely and to whom we decide to share them with. We can deliver our messages based on the facts or the emotions of a situation at any given time, and should choose to stick to the facts over the opinions when we are making responses. When we are faced with someone bringing li...

Sometimes you have to be the strong one who stands up and says the hard things that others would rather suppress. Not to be confused with the opinions of people who feel oppression is a means of collecting clout, but the real people willing to share the facts about a situation that have been skewed by multiple perceptions. At one point do we have to place accountability on the correct people for doing the wrongs, even if it is a ch...

Ever wonder when the timing is going to be just right? Ever realize the timing is right when you choose to just do the damned thing? If the action is always put off until tomorrow, what happens when tomorrow doesn't come? You should take the opportunity to execute on as many things that are meaningful and important to you as often as you possibly can. You need to use your time efficiently to make the moments that matter the mo...

We have to remind ourselves to continually push past the haters and keep putting out our messages that attracts like-minded people. We have to be our own cheerleader of our little successes that we meet along the way towards the bigger picture from time to time. These small praises are ways to encourage ourselves that we can do what we set out to do as long as we continue to do what needs to be done. Even if we maybe fell short on ...

As an individual, you have to carry the weight of safety and readiness anywhere you go in order to preserve your life and loved ones around you through awareness of your surroundings. Most people are capable of carrying a firearm, so it is your sole responsibility to learn how to handle it properly for the sake of its purpose, if ever necessary to use it. If you are witness to a serious crime and choose not to report it but rather ...

When you think of your sense of freedom for yourself, is it a feeling that leaves you feeling truly untethered from the constraints and opinions of other people, or do you find yourself still striving for the acceptance from others in order to make yourself feel worthy? Your worth is only ever fully seen by you, and nobody else can place a value on you just because you can or cannot appease them in any given moment. How many relati...

We should be very mindful of what our minds are consuming, what is being fed to them, and how those things influence our feelings and moods. We have to be aware of what we are watching or listening to on a consistent basis and remove sources that feed us too much negativity. There's a lot of things that we don't get the opportunity to control but we allow to impact how we think, how we feel, how we react as individuals. I...

Isn't it great when you connect with someone on such a high level, you feel empowered to share your message or thought process with the world? Welcome to the mind behind the podcast, an episode dedicated to overcoming your history, your trauma, and persevering with a positive mindset. I expose ways I find to grow with forgiveness to my core and choose to rise above from who I once was by putting myself first, raw and real, out...

Many people see summer as a season of relaxation and fun, which is well deserved for all the hard work put in throughout the year and an opportune time to celebrate wins with our children while they are on summer break from school. It should still not be overlooked as a chance to evaluate how you are doing with goals you've set for yourself for the year as you reach the halfway mark. Are you still tracking metrics like you did...

What is it you expect from people, particularly people who provide their services to you? Are your expectations aligned with the reality of the situation? Are they exaggerated or fall short in your mind based on the possibility and actuality of what you should expect? Is the expectation that has been set something you decided to create yourself or something the provider has assured to be expected when you choose them to do business...

Today, we celebrate Memorial Day. Some of us see it as a free day off from work, an opportunity to scrub the old grill off and fire up the summer season with a blowout pool party. Others of us will work through the holiday as if it were just another typical Monday, grumbling about how everyone should have the day off, or worse, about how we should all be working as the day is "nothing special" to celebrate. How far from t...

Sometimes, the simplest word is the hardest to say: "NO." We find ourselves torn between our own commitments and taking actions that please other people more than ourselves. We realize we are giving others more energy and time for their success than we do for ourselves on a personal and most deeply needed level. We are told to believe that the word "no" is bad, yet we can find so much more freedom and healthy bo...

Time, energy, mental space--call it what you want--all the pieces that we put into trying to validate, or feel validated, usually by trying to impress the wrong people. Especially when we're young, we tend to shift who we are on a core level in order to fit the perception of the people that we fell like we need to be validated from. The problem is this consistent morphing of who we are as an individual to make others smile, to...

Sometimes a podcast episode is recorded with the intention of helping to inspire others to think or act a certain way through motivation. Other times it seems to end up being a part of the internal process of helping guide myself through thought processes and decision making in my own reality. Sometimes we find ourselves needing to say or hear it out loud in order to process it on a deeper level, building like blocks upon one anoth...

So many people look at success relative to their own level of desire and commitment, choosing to only see the peak of the mountain that was their goal, choosing to overlook the effort it took to climb the mountain day by day. We don't just arrive to the top without trying, we have to train ourselves to acclimate to our new surroundings and overcome any trees that may fall in our path during our journey forward. We must learn l...

Thank you for all your support and confidence in me. I will forever remain grateful and humbled by the community that surrounds me. As long as we pour trust and faith into each other, we will succeed. All things are possible with hard work, motivation, and dedication. Our wildest dreams today could be old news yesterday if we continue to dream farther and push ourselves to make the impossible possible daily.
