You Better Plan On It Podcast!
From the time I was in my early teens until the present, I have learned that having an effective daily plan is critical to life, and that you can never separate the two (Effective Daily Plans = Positive Daily Living / Positive Daily Living = Effective Daily Plans). The goal here is to teach anyone who needs it to understand the nuances and importance of operating from an effective daily plan, and for you to share the content with others who may need it. So, whether we prepare to start our day or end our day it is vital that having an effective daily plan can ultimately determine our positive outcomes outweighing our negative ones, versus the other way around. I mean, let's face it, over the years we have become a much more reactive society (waiting for things to unfold before responding) vice a proactive society (ready before something happens) which has led to many negative, life-altering outcomes within our homes, our communities, our schools and our workplaces. From me to you, we simply must lean ahead in our daily lives and focus on implementing and executing pure and meaningful plans that allow us to attack each day with, peace of mind, happiness and zeal. At the end of the day, life is simply too short to waste time on harboring negative daily thoughts because you decided to operate from a less than effective daily plan, so always remember, "You Better Plan On It," because when you least expect it then something will happen!

As a member of society, I believe that we are all responsible for looking out for our elderly. I know a lot of people find elderly people to be a problem, but in reality so many of them truly need our help. It doesn't matter the situation, but as someone of sound, mind and body, I am fully aware of situations and times when I can clearly see when someone elderly needs my help. Unfortunately, problems come into play ...
One of the greatest moments of my life occurred when I officially became a stepdad on November 16, 2002. I have been blessed with 3 amazing and loving stepchildren, 2 boys, Arturo and Daniel, and 1 girl, Devina, and it is something that I will eternally cherish.
When I knew that I was going into a relationship with someone with children, I immediately understood that the relationship would be centered around ...
Although I do not believe that people ever go out of their way to effectively plan the exact words they will speak over the course of each day, I do believe that some words, especially culturally sensitive words implemented by a specific race, are simply spoken as part of everyday language for so many people of different races. For instance, we live in a world today in which the use of the "N" word or "Nigga" has tr...
Imagine living a lifestyle in which your so-called effective daily plan involves always reminding others that your money and power gives you dominion over them. Now, further imagine being told by someone that they are better than you; that your kind does not belong; that you need to get out of here before something bad happens to you; that you are filth and can't measure up to people on my level; that you need to go...
Do you have "command presence?" Do you know what it means to have command presence? Listen, having command presence means that you have the ability to project calm, confident, and professional authority that earns trust and respect, rather than inducing fear, particularly in high-stakes situations. It combines poised demeanor, ethical behavior, and effective communication to establish leadership and control, often w...
No matter who you are or where you are from, going with God is the greatest achievement in life, bar-none! So many times in life we go through difficult challenges and are unsure of which direction to go. Well, if you haven't tried Him for yourself, then give God a shot!
Over the past 5 years, I have watched millions of people around the world pour their lives into Christ and it is one of the greatest things ...
Many of us around the world frustratingly sit in a particular situation in which we feel grounded in mud and unable to move. You are either too afraid to move or you have been in your respective place for so long that you are unsure if you can move. You simply need to "make a change."
Now, imagine being at a job or school or somewhere that you greatly dislike and remaining there year after year but you have d...
The weight of death can be the most demoralizing situation an individual, a family, a community, a school, a workplace, etc., can go through. Imagine a family of four; a young mother with three children under 10 years of age encountering a fire inside their 2d story apartment building. Mom awakens to the smoke detectors repeatedly going off. She gets up immediately and gathers her children into one room. She realize...
One of the most tumultuous, dangerous and cancerous words today is "Hate." The word has a damaging kind of radius that can destroy the life of one, a few or many. Sure, many of us use it on a regular basis but it is not meant in harmful nature. For instance, you will often hear someone say, "Man, I hated that game winning shot on last night because it cost me money, or, I hate you man because you are a clown." These...
Having an effective plan in life-threatening situations can be critical to the lives of others. So, when it is said that, "what goes on in another man's home is not anyone else's business," well, I simply call this a truthful lie. In truth, your home is supposed to be your business and no one else's. However, it is also a lie because if there is ever a situation in which you know, hear about or suspect that your fam...
Here in America, we continue to experience racism because of being a particular race and one's skin color. It is truly amazing that our country still has this issue to date and it doesn't appear that we will ever see it entirely go away, at least not in this lifetime.
I know how this works because I have lived and experienced racism many times as an African American male. From my early years as a young ...
I believe the "Weight of Death" is for real. The reason I believe this statement is because the loss of someone that you love and miss dearly can outweigh the loss of others that you love and miss dearly. For instance, I lost my amazing Uncle Freddie Foster and my dear cousin Terry Carpenter within the last week who are actually blood relatives that I've known since childhood. On the other end, I just lost one...
This episode focuses on military deployments regarding young first and second term military service members. What I learned not only early in my career, but later in my career and today as a Retired Marine, young service members often depart for deployment with important tasks left incomplete on the homefront. They simply focus intensely on unit responsibilities and making sure they display standout performances tow...
This episode discusses a unique conversation between two male best friends, a black kid and a white kid between the ages of 10-12. What makes the conversation so unique is that it involves race and ethnicity. The kids apparently have overheard multiple conversations by adults and older kids and thought that they should figure out how they should be perceived: for the black kid, Black or African American and for the ...
This episode provides a lifeline and empowers you and me to ensure we employ an effective daily action plan to allow us to get from Point A to Point B and back home safely in a safe and efficient manner each and every day. We need to shake off the always set, never changing daily plan because such plans lead to negative outcomes when we run into an issue and have to make an immediate change of plan. Simply put, we a...
This episode focuses on suicide and the major challenge it presents to everyone when we know, know of or hear about someone who has attempted suicide or openly talked about it. We as individuals and as people need to take a closer look at our families, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc., and immediately take action if we find ourselves in such a situation. First, develop a plan either individually or with others to...
This episode discusses the importance of giving from those of us who are blessed and have to give to those who are deeply in need. Whether young or old, so many people are out there are poor, homeless and starving while many of us live very blessed, comfortable lives and never or very seldomly take the opportunity to help the ones in need, especially when we see or witness it in person!
Well, for those of us wh...
This episode took me to a church service called "A Night of Worship" in which my wife Belinda and I experienced a powerful evening of God's power in action when He is introduced into our souls. It further introduced the power of praise and worship to everyone there and why it is so important to live in Christ now more than ever!
The world today is just far too dangerous, demanding, difficult and demonic (I call...

It initially tells the story of a trespasser attempting to enter the home of an elderly couple through an open window. As he attempts to climb through the window, he is unfortunately killed by the homeowner as a result of a gunshot wound to the chest. The episode also takes into account a movie about a well-estab...
