Sticking out from the crowd can be a scary thing, especially in middle and high school. So often, we tend to keep our heads down and do everything we can to not stick out. Because then, there's a tendency for people to pile on, and not in a good way. Getting called out is not fun, but today I'm going to offer a different perspective on sticking out, one that can give you confidence and earn the respect of others.

In the past, I used to get upset when people didn't listen to my podcast or purchase one of my books. It made me feel bad and rejected. When I principal would say No to my assembly program, I'd take it personally. Again, it made me feel bad, that maybe my program wasn't good enough. Over the years, having been told No a thousand times, I've adjusted my thinking. This episode is about NOT taking things personally.

To get the things you want in life, you have to do the things you don't want to do. This is an episode that explains the importance of not always listening to your feelings.

Filled with lessons to help you in daily life, this is an entertaining and easy read. Enjoy the listen and the read!

This one is inspired by a recent interaction I had with my daughter while mini-golfing. You know whenever your mom/day/teacher/coach/whomever is trying to tell you something, and you respond, "I know. I got it." And then you might even tiff or "ugh" in disgust? Yep, that's what this one's about. And I promise, we can help. You just have to listen.

It's a great day to talk about freedom. We know the kind of freedom that July 4 celebrates, but there's another kind of freedom I'd like to bring up...the freedom from yourself. I'm talking about developing the ability to NOT hold yourself back in life. It is possible, and I hope this episode proves that to you.

I believe in challenging yourself and facing your fears. And I have learned that it's OK (and possible) to be afraid and still move forward. Fighting is one of the scariest things I've ever done, and I was always nervous and anxious right before a fight. Fear was present, but it didn't hold me back. Here are some thoughts that went through my head right before my fights.
