Habits quickly form whether they are good or bad. Holding others accountable for top performance also helps hold yourself accountable. Appreciate those in your life that identify ways to help you grow through criticism. Learn to love criticism and critique. Eliminate the emotion and listen to the message. Grow yourself by enjoying the pain of improvement and change.

Whether it is your friends, your vendors, your employees, or your mentors, surrounding yourself with great people is something everyone knows is a key to success. Can you stake a claim to a squad? Have YOU built your badasses? Who have you raised up grown developed or mentored? It is your responsibility to grow others as much as it is to grow yourself.

Your mind is freshly turned soil. If you don't do something with it, shit is going to grow there that you don't have any use for. Rip out those weeds and start planting your seeds. Dreams are the seedlings of reality.

With chaos, lack of control can be pervasive in your thoughts. Finding what it is you have control over and focusing on positive thinking and executing will bring you back to the top. This update has examples of how dire things can feel and how you can grab the steering wheel and regain control over your journey.

The strong survive any new obstacle but those that thrive are the ones who are willing to adapt. As people claim measurable failure due to things outside their control, many of us look at those failures as an excuse over a long standing weakness. Find the direction you need to go and move. Adaptation is more important than stability.

I bring on one of my favorite guests Tony Grace again where we talk about challenges with hiring people for things you do not know anything about. We also dive into the political issues of Covid and discuss some of the potential future outcomes we will see and concerns with the perception of them.

A few weeks after the most intense injury of my life, I reflect on the last 3.5 weeks of pain and the lessons learned. This could be the greatest challenge of my life. Largest economic swing of a lifetime coupled with a critically injured leader. Even at my worst, I will conquer this. I have never been more ready for this....

What happens when we speak out against something new? When did caring for yourself like you care for others go away? We have a GIANT problem out there and no one is saying what everyone is thinking. This problem is not going to go away. This problem needs to be faced head on. Society will decide that quick enough and we will find out, it was all just a bad dream.

I drive my custom made car "The Mini Buggy" home. Every level of fear, stress, panic, exhilaration, excitement, confidence, and achievement were experienced. I HAD to walk you through the mentality of what it feels like to be 100% committed to a terrible idea and how it feels when you succeed. Are you afraid or are you exhilarated?

As a pandemic sweeps the nation, the High Caliber Team springs into action to..... make fun of it. In the process, we were able to think clearly, be prepared, and give back. It is not as much work as it may seem. You want to give back, why don;t you? It doesn't take much....

EVeryone talks about building your following and best standardized practices. What are you doing it for though? Whether starting a new job, business, gym membership, group activity, why is it you are doing it? Yes, you need to know how to do it the best. Yes, you need to constantly learn and evolve. At the end of the day though, does it make you feel good? Do you enjoy it? Does it serve YOU? If the answer is "NO" to any of that, you will not be successful in it.

We ran the combined tracks and had a blast! So many things come to me after another day on the floor. Why do businesses not live below their means constantly? When and where should I invest the profits? What am I doing this for? What does my family want? What job is the priority. These are the real questions. Have you asked them yet?

After spending 7 days in Europe, it is time to pull some of this shit out of my head and execute. Here is a synopsis of my first experience doing business and collaborating in person overseas. Business is the same. Make friends. Friends help each other achieve. I also get a chance to share my key takeaways from the education seminar on email campaigns and marketing basics.

All changes take time to establish and mature. It takes maniacal effort to identify and create those changes but implementation is where it all can either fall apart or completely come together. Considering everything that each change can affect is an exhausting process but as your ship gets larger, it is going to take more time to turn. You need to see the obstacles ahead before it is too late.

On this Turkey Day, I get a chance to reflect on the years goals and achievements and how we got there. It was not a rule, it was a destination. To get there, we needed to think critically of each step down to the bite size piece and hold ourselves accountable to take those bites. Everything needs a plan to be successful. That is why resolutions suck. They are just rules and rules are destined to be be broken. It is all about achievements. That is something that can be fueled by passion.

All it is really is flipping the switch. Choosing to choose. Find the positives and fun in life and you will find that life is really positive and fun! Work on developing the control of that switch.

Thinking about thinking. That is a deep thought to think about thinking about. YAY PHILOSOPHY! What does it mean to do your best? When have you truly expected greatness from yourself? You expect it from others and accept your failures. How do you do the same for everyone else and reduce the failures they ex[experience. Create the energy that pulses and crashes postivity around you and everyone you go by. Be the best you so that everyone else feels like they have the ability to attain more.

A long overdue update from the busiest part of the business thus far. We all worked until we were brainless and crossed the finish line. Many lessons have been learned and we are still stepping into new territory and discovering new versions of what we want to be everyday. Every step though aligns us closer with our North Star of creating JOY.

We are getting ready to cross the finish line that is our first facility open. Literally only 1 week left. Everything is blowing up with urgency and issues and there is absolutely zero doubt that we are stressed. But why? Why are we so stressed and pressured? I feel more purpose in my life than I have ever before. I would not trade any of these challenges for an easy life. You shouldn't want to either.

People for some reason have a hard time understanding how to connect. They don't understand how to build a culture. They read all the books in the world, they listen to all the advice. They listen to this god damn podcast! All that matters is making connections and giving a shit about that person. The world is not complicated, human emotion is. Take the sage advice of treating others the way you want to be treated and connect with those complicated emotions.
