Learn at 100%
Sometimes it takes trying things and falling flat on your face to figure out what the most effective strategy is to do whatever it is that you’re doing. Whether sales, building a business, running a department, etc. move fast with intention to see what works best, and do more of that.
Plan to win.
If you fail to plan, you're just planning to fail.
It isn't up to your manager/mentor/peers to tell you what to do every day.
If you don't have tasks on your calendar that align your goals, you're missing out on an opportunity to make progress and grow.
In my experience, on days where I don’t take the time to write down my most important tasks, things simply don’t get executed at the same level.
Delayed Gratification
Delayed gratification is critical, and your ability to delay gratification will have a massive impact on how quickly you reach your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal).
During my time as a walk-on, I had to be the king of delayed gratification. Getting my teeth kicked in on the daily, with no scholarship, all with the goal in mind to one day earn a scholarship. It took two seasons, but eventually the work I put in resulted in my desired outcome.
The same concept applies in our careers. I know many of us have big ambitions for what we want to build, or what role we want to be in, the money we hope to earn, the fulfillment in our work, etc.
Again, I can speak from experience in saying that more often than not, getting to these things does not happen overnight. Getting those things requires patience, experience, hard work, and ultimately doing things you may not be dying to do. It’s part of it.
Expensive vs. Inexpensive Experience
Expensive experience is gained from you doing ‘the thing’ that results in you getting that experience.
Inexpensive experience is experience you get from watching others do ‘the things’ and then being able to learn from that experience without necessarily doing ‘the thing’ yourself.
In some context, me and my generation must get the experience on our own, but I would invite you to soak up as much inexpensive experience as possible as you pursue your loftiest goals.
Find mentors or others you trust who have walked the path you’re on and connect with them. Learn from them, and implement what feels aligned.
It is a great strategy.
Faith and Clarity
I had a conversation this week with a buddy of mine and he said something that really provoked thought.
“Clarity and faith can’t coexist.”
This statement struck me. I know many times in my life I’ve prayed for clarity on what to do in a specific situation, and God will give you signs without question, but it was an interesting question to ask…can faith and clarity coexist?
If you had clarity on all of your decisions and where they would ultimately guide your life, well then would you really need faith? I’m not sure.
Maybe we should shift our prayers toward having more faith that the present moment is exactly where we are supposed to be in service of God’s plan for us…I don’t know, something to think about.

On this week's episode we sit down with the president of Scissortail Executive Advisors, John Jones.
John is a Tulsa native who now lives in Dallas, and is in a season of extreme focus to building a legacy for his future family. His story includes ups and downs and ultimately a pivotal moment where he realized it was time to make a change and take control of his life.
We discuss building a business, physical and mental training, the 4x4x48 challenge, the limiting voice in our heads and much more.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
No limits.

We're back.
If you’re feeling like you aren’t making progress toward your goals I’d ask you this:
Can you get 1% better today?
1% of 24 hours is 14 minutes and 24 seconds, and if you invest 14 minutes and 24 seconds into your craft each day you’ll invest just under 100 hours in a year’s time.
Malcolm Gladwell says that in order to be an expert in a field one must invest 10,000 hours into their selected craft. So with just 15 minutes a day for 10 years, you could become an expert in whatever field you choose.
You may argue that 10 years is a long time, but imagine how long it will take if you never start…

Josh was once 446 pounds. Cigarettes, beer, fast food, and a look in the mirror that prompted him to ask the question "What am I doing with my life?" were the catalysts to him making a change.
This was only the beginning of his journey. Through pursuing a position in the army, to ultimately being retired due to medical conditions, to hiking the PCT, to the position he is now in, Josh's story is one of persistence, consistency, and a refusal to give in when it felt like all chips were stacked against him.
His goals are ambitious, but he knows that with the level of work and commitment to the process, there are no limits.
I hope you enjoy the conversation.
No limits.

Their journey began with a profound belief in the transformative power of yoga, not just on the mat but throughout life's diverse landscapes.
Inspired by personal growth stories and a deep desire to share the wisdom they had gathered, Christine and Giocanda envisioned Sama as an international yoga school, weaving together traditional and contemporary practices.
This harmonious blend reflects their commitment to guiding individuals on transformative journeys. Rooted in theoretical and practical approaches that integrate mind, body, and spirit, Sama seeks to strike a delicate balance between ancient wisdom and modern practices.
Beyond the physical aspects, Christine and Giocanda believe in the holistic impact of yoga, fostering connection, self-discovery, and growth. Through Sama Yoga House, they aspire to empower individuals to embrace authenticity, cultivating purpose and fulfillment that extend far beyond the boundaries of the yoga studio.
Christine found her away to the life changing practice of yoga as an unruly teen in the suburbs of Chicago. She was an avid Ashtangi before she discovered her passion and love for the creativity of power and vinyasa flow. Christine is an uplifting yoga instructor who’s passion is teaching Bhakti Vinyasa-based classes that focus on devotion, breath, alignment and yoga philosophy.
Her vinyasa flow classes will leave you with a sweaty glow and sense of release, while her restorative classes & gong baths will have you feeling blissed and grounded. Christine carries over 1000 hours in yoga & fitness education and loves to teach and share in the world of retreats and yoga trainings.
Gia stepped onto her yoga mat for the first time 25 years ago—which quickly led to a new life path. Facing personal challenges, she found both the inner peace and grounded strength to change her life.
This transformational experience of yoga called her to deepen her studies in yoga, ayurveda, and philosophy, and eventually leading her first teacher training at a prestigious Austin studio.
An eternal student, Gioconda also holds a Master's in Spiritual Psychology and is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Teaching various yoga disciplines, meditation, and pranayama, she shares her broad knowledge globally through retreats and trainings. Everything in her path has led her to being a founder of Sama Yoga House.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with these incredible women and am excited to see the impact they have with this special venture.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and invite you to share it with a friend.

"Every man has two lives, and the second one
starts when he realizes he has just one."
- Confucious
For Dustin, the realization occurred in phases. He
was diagnosed with blood cancer six days before his
wedding. After 10 months of chemo, he was cancer-
free, but a new zest for life inflamed a long existant
drinking problem. Another 10 months and one DUI
later, Dustin checked in to rehab. When his wife
picked him up 30 days later, she told him she was
pregnant and showed him the first picture of his
son. Dustin's second life was fully underway.
Dustin's focus is now being a friend to people going
through similar hardships. He has spoken to dozens of
corporations, raised over $100,000 for blood cancer
research, and sold ~5,000 copies of his self-
published book Cheeto Dust (And Other Blood on
Millenial Hands) with all proceeds going to cancer
research.
Other highlights of rebuilding his life include losing
50 pounds, running three marathons, fathering two
children, receiving multiple promotions at Cisco
Systems, leading substance abuse interventions, and
most recently, writing a new book.
Looks Like We're Running: An Amateur's Guide to
Becoming a Marathoner examines whether running
can fix a person. The book is a marathon how-to
with guidance on training, gear, nutrition and
recovery, but most importantly, it is a testimony of
the marathon's number one lesson: How to keep
going.
Since you are part of the Walk-On Mentality Community, you can use "WALKON" at Checkout to get the book for $4.99.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Amanda Tsujikawa.
Oh how I enjoyed this conversation and learning what it means to truly be unbreakable in the face of adversity.
From the time Amanda was young, she repeatedly made the decision to not settle for the circumstances that she was dealt, but instead to create the reality she wanted to exist in.
Through the diagnoses and defeats of multiple bouts of cancer, to summiting 30+ mountains, serving our country, wining spartan races, qualifying and competing in the Ironman World Championship, and more, Amanda is a living breathing testimony to the fact that you are capable of whatever you set your mind to.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and invite you to share it with a friend.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Founder and CEO of AllInFit, Marlon Smith.
Marlon Smith formed All In Fit in 2019 when he saw an opportunity to utilize his background as a pro athlete to coach the same skills and mindsets with business professionals.
Marlon has been an athlete all his life. He grew up in San Antonio, Texas and excelled in both basketball and football throughout primary schooling. He then accepted a full ride to St. Mary’s University on a basketball scholarship. He earned a school record for most blocks in a season. After that, he took his talents to football at The University of Texas at San Antonio where played defensive end and recorded the third-highest single-season sack total in school history.
Pro recruiters began to take notice. In 2014, Marlon was offered a contract with the Ottawa RedBlacks for their inaugural season in the Canadian Football League. As a starting defensive end, Marlon helped take the RedBlacks to the CFL’s Grey Cup. Following his career in the CFL, the Alliance of American Football offered him a contract to play in the United States. Shortly after signing, a major back injury brought his three-year pro career to a halt.
Marlon had the choice to give up. However, he noticed that the routines he developed during his professional career kept him active and motivated in every area of his life. Marlon quickly realized that anyone can benefit from his training regimen.
No limits.

On this week's episode of the podcast we sit down with Dr. Deborah Miscoll. Dr. Miscoll is a straight-talking, no-nonsense Texan, with a penchant to drop high -school football anecdotes. She tends to approach all things with curiosity and humor. She loves sports and fitness, Southlake Carroll football, travel, photography, architecture, literature, and is constantly in pursuit of the perfect donut.
Dr. Miscoll serves as Deloitte US’ Chief Mental Health Officer and leads the firm’s Integrated Mental Health Service. In this role, she oversees an internal team of clinical and performance psychology experts- and guides the development and delivery of innovative, forward-thinking, highly-curated services and solutions. Each service line is designed to address the cognitive, emotional, and social complexities associated with the health and performance of over 170,000 U.S. partners and professionals.
While she cut her teeth in the fields of clinical, forensic, and neuropsychology, She has dedicated the past 20 years of her career advising organizations on how to address complex psychological issues that intersect the workplace, as well as designing modern psychological initiatives and evidenced-based solutions in a corporate environment. This experience drives her passion not only to support the individual but also organizational health and function.
While the above resume is beyond bad ass, what is even more bad ass is how she rose from the ashes in a true phoenix fashion to build an unbelievable life for herself and more importantly to her, her family.
I hope you enjoy, and as always, no limits.

On this week's episode we sit down with Frank Dades. Frank spent the earlier part of his life experiencing a lot of failures. It wasn't that he didn't have the gifts and talents to achieve, but rarely did he stick to the things he started. He lacked the confidence to be all that he could be.
At a certain point in time, he made the decision to change. From drinking and staying up all night, to getting to the gym when his old friends were getting home from the club, Frank took control of his life and what has transpired as a result is inspiring.
There are no limits to what we can accomplish when we believe in ourselves and are willing to put in the work to achieve our goals.

Ian Wishingrad is the co-founder of Three Wishes Foods, the award-winning creative director/founder of BIGEYEDWISH, and the Host of ADWEEK's "I'm with the Brand."
Since his teenage years, Ian has had a penchant for building brands, businesses and big ideas. After years of working on clients like AT&T, Diageo, Nestle at his own agency, BIGEYEDWISH, Ian sought to build a brand of his own.
He and his business partner/wife Margaret created Three Wishes Cereal after looking for a good option for their 6-month old son and not finding any. Their divergent skillsets and passions have been one of the keys to their success in business to date.Three Wishes Cereal is a high protein, low sugar, grain free breakfast cereal, that tastes like the cereals of your childhood, made with modern day clean ingredients. With 70% less sugar and as much as 8x more protein than their decadent counterparts, there’s nothing on-shelf like it.
