The Hardcore Closer Podcast

I was talking to my eldest son Jax the other day, and he said, "Dad, I got an idea of something you can talk about on your podcast."  

I said, "Okay, whatcha got?"

He said, "What's the true key to success?  I know it's staying focused and fighting the force of average, but what is  the true key to success?" 

I told him he had it all figured out and I ha...

I was talking with one of my employees Monico the other day and something amazing happened. 

I won't share the details, but it was something you would call a miracle. 

It was a miracle.  

Unexplained circumstances that worked out better than I could've planned.  

And the only thing I can reconcile as what happened was something called...

Most people fail at the game of life because they choose not to protect their inner peace. 

This is not a hokey podcast episode about the Law of Attraction, even though I believe in that stuff. 

What I am talking about it people allowing their validation from external forces or people. 

I used to be insecure about the outside world. 

I thought ...

I've been a father for 13 years at this point.  

And beyond learning how to be a better person, came the challenge of becoming a better father, but there's a simple fact you have to remember as a parent.....

We don't stop growing when we become parents. 

And we don't stop growing when the kids leave the house at 18. 

This is a lifelong journey we take with our children. 

Year 8 is going to be different...

Do you know why most people are scattered? 

Because they don't schedule shit. 

When I was a kid, we didn't have cell phones, gps, or anything beyond a clock and our personal commitment to being responsible for getting to where we needed to be and on time. 

Why? 

Because if we were late, we got our asses whipped. 

So I always ...

Time in does not equate to produced results. 

Here's what most people do.

They start working in their profession for 6 months and 10 years later, the only thing they have is repeating the same thing they learned in the first 6 months of their career. 

They stop growing. 

I go to the gym with people who have been going to the gym for 8 years and are ...

One of the toughest things human beings have to do is battle their fight or flight mechanisms. 

I've run through bad programming in my head. 

It was the reason I stayed broke. 

It was the reason people came for me. 

It was the reason I had issues with my businesses.  

But when I got clear about the way I speak to myself,...

What does it take to build the right team in your business? 

It's a question most business owners don't ask. 

Most operate from a place of finding bodies, outlining job titles, and negotiating wages and putting them to work.  

This frees up your time and headaches and gets you out of doing the menial tasks you hate doing or ones that are not a good use of yo...

Left lane drivers who drag ass at 57 miles per hour are some of the most selfish, self-centered pieces of shit on the planet. 

I can say that because they're not a protected class. 

You know the type. 

They think it's cute to drive 5 miles below the speed limit in a lane intended for going 10-15 over it and it fucks up traffic. 

They don't care...

For many years, I chased other things on this planet. 

Money. 

Cars.  

Houses. 

Fame. 

Businesses.

A family. 

And the craziest thing is after all of the chasing of tangible things tied to this Earth, I fgured out what I want. 

I'm chasing the purpose of taking complex c...

It's no secret that humans are conditioned to look for the negative. 

The constant battle against negativity rages every single day. 

Print. 

TV. 

Social media. 

We can't get through our days without some negative news trying to penetrate our mentality. 

What happens when we're faced with negativity is our ...

The biggest tin foil hat conspiracy theory we all need to pay attention to is we humans have the ability to think and exist in a bigger way.

From a young age, we're programmed to play smaller. 

Why would we do this?  

First off, control. 

When a colt horse is a colt or a pony, you can tie it to the reigns and to a poll. 

Once...

I don't like being told what to do. 

I bet you don't like being told what to do. 

No one on this planet likes being told what to do.  

But, there's something great about being here.......

We have one another. 

We have the wisdom and knowledge of those who have lived, gotten experiences, and learned lessons we haven't. 

One of the things I know about life is, it's filled with ups and downs. 

It's one of the wildest roller coaster rides you'll take in your life. 

Sometimes you'll make a little money. 

Sometimes you'll make alot. 

Maybe you'll be heartbroken, but only until you find the love of your life. 

But you might have to date tons of pe...

Let me give you a lesson in evolution that will explain the way your mind is wired. 

Not just for you, but for your future generations. 

Back in the day, God designed human beings to pass on information via our DNA. 

When you plug in a USB into a computer, you can transfer information. 

In our DNA, there are 12 Terabytes in our sperm that trans...

If we're keeping it real........

I have a really good marriage. 

I'm a disciplined and hard man. 

The fact I'm in my marriage and it's still good, it's a huge feat. 

I can do psychological battle with anyone because of my past and create a tornadic storm of chaos. 

But, through all of this, I have been able to keep a good marriage...

The first time I was locked up, I realized that was one moment I wanted children.  

The reason? 

No one came to see me. 

They didn't care. 

But I knew if I had children, someone would've brought them to see their Dad. 

When I was a kid, I had a step-dad and he did a lot of things good and some not so good, but I learned ...
