  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  In the relentless pursuit of success, men often buy into the myth of invincibility. It's a narrative that whispers seductive promises of unassailable achievement, a siren call that lures us into believing we can conquer the world without consequence. But let's cut to the bone here, this myth, this so-called invincibility, comes at a staggering cost. We're living in an era where the cult of busyness is glorified, where 'success' often translates to sleepless nights at the office, missed family dinners, & neglected anniversaries. We've become unfaithful to our relationships, not because we're inherently flawed, but because we buy into this dangerous myth. We believe we can neglect our partners, our families, & our friends while we pursue the elusive dream of invincibility. We buy into the lie that our careers are more important, more urgent, than the bonds we've cultivated over the years. Let's strip away the veil of pretense & dive headfirst into a topic many would rather sweep under the rug. It's time to confront the myth of invincibility & the havoc it wreaks on our lives, especially in the lives of men & those we profess to care about & love. But here's the harsh truth: The myth of invincibility, when embraced, leaves a trail of shattered hearts & fractured relationships in its wake. You are cordially invited to join ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, the Founder & CEO of JEWIL International, in this no-holds-barred exploration, we'll uncover the grim reality of sacrificing connection on the altar of invincibility. Buckle up, because we won't sugar-coat it – this is a raw, unflinching revelation of the toll this myth takes on our lives. Bring your journal & a friend, or 5, & let’s dive into the deep end, into the untouched places we don’t even admit to ourselves are there. Let’s shine a 1 million candle-watt flashlight in those corners and leave nowhere to hide! I dare you! Let’s get after it! ~ More The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D.

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  At the core of who we are & how we engage with the world lies a fundamental duality: being & doing. These two concepts shape our experiences, choices, & perceptions. Understanding the difference between being & our addiction to doing can lead us to a more balanced and fulfilling life. "Being" & "doing" are two sides of the same coin, but they focus on different aspects of your life. Think of "being" as your core identity, the qualities that make you unique. It's about the values, beliefs, and emotions that reside within you, independent of any external actions. On the other hand, "doing" refers to your actions and behaviors, the things you do in response to situations & circumstances. It's the way you interact with the world & the choices you make, where society as a whole has us focused on & the addiction to, action or our “doing”. These actions can reflect our "being," but they don't define our entire identity. Your actions are important, but they're like the outer shell of who you are. Your "being" is what gives substance to those actions. When you're aware of, & live out of your core values & beliefs, your "doing" becomes more intentional, meaningful & breaks the cycle of addiction to it! Connect with Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & the Founder & CEO of JEWIL International as he discusses our addiction to doing & refocuses us on our being! Sometimes, there can be a disconnect between the two. We might do things that don't align with our true selves because of societal pressure or other influences. Bring your journal & a friend & let’s explore and intentionally grow along our journeys together! This balance can lead to a much more fulfilling & genuine life journey.

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Deepak Chopra said "When you make choices, you change the future!" I believe that many folks don't even realize or are aware that they even have choices that they can make! Humans were gifted to be able to have unlimited choices, the consequences of which are pretty much non-negotiable. That being said, many many folks don't even take advantage of them and actually make choices!

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The unintended obtuse believe that mental awareness is restricted to the statistical "1 in 5" who admit to experiencing it. The absolute truth & reality is that 5 in 5, yes everyone has mental awareness. That's right believe it or not! We are all on that spectrum! It's inclusive for everyone whether they have awareness of that or acknowledge that or not! We are all on that mental awareness spectrum! There are multiple lenses to view this concept thru, to help explain & illustrate these concepts that everyone is on this range. We sheepishly hide our judgement of folks struggling in these ways by using words like "stigma". Alas, that tragically thinly veils our misunderstanding & lack of self-awareness surrounding this critical topic which needs to be blown wide open! Everyone is involved whether we realize it, like it or even understand that or not! This means if we are not a part of the solution, unfortunately we are a part of the shameful problem! Let's be real & raw as he promised you he'd be, and call a spade a shovel here! Join Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & King of EQ on his mission to positively change the lives of 10 million men by raising their Emotional Quotient or EQ! That must begin with everyone having clear, wide-eyed, honest awareness of these realities! Bring your journal & a friend or 2 & let's not sugar coat what is any longer. Let's call it exactly what it is, but not worse than it is either; towards overall keen mental awareness health & wellness support for everyone!

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  We all need to give ourselves the grace we so freely give to so many others around us! But not use it as one of the excuses that we choose to let us off the hook about things. So much of the time we are the hardest on ourselves without even a thought of grace. We all require a dose of grace daily, which Papa promises to supply to each of us! That being said, there are also times when our excuses are used as a way we choose to excuse ourselves from showing up the way we know we aught to. Excuses are plentiful & as creative as can be! They seem easy to use towards our own advantage when its convenient & we just don't want to! We come up with some pretty amazing excuses, that even we believe. Sometimes there are very solid, completely justifiable reasons why we are choosing not to do or be something & that's perfectly ok! There can be a fine line in our own personal integrity & sometimes we will be the only one who knows if its an excuse or if we are giving ourselves the grace we need in that moment. Come choose to explore & intentionally grow with 'The Long Bearded Guy', Gordon D Melville, 'The King of EQ' on his mission to positively change the lives of 10 million+ men by increasing their EQ! He will discuss grace & excuses & how we use each! Why we need to give ourselves grace & stop hiding from our empowerment & potential by making excuses.

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  I think all of us at one time or another have searched out or googled information for a "life hack" to get us through some kind of situation at home or work. We sometimes want an easier, quicker way out, or through to our goals, at times pushing out the full experience that the journey through would provide us with. We want a short-cut, or a quicker way out of the challenge. For the pieces of our lives that truly matter, there are no hacks or short-cuts. We must go through it all! Much of the time it's the going through it, that provides the greatest experiences to provide us with the lessons, the wisdom, the most valuable parts of it all! In our instant society we want it all NOW, we want the results without doing the work & it just doesn't work that way! This week The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville, The King of EQ takes his mission of positively changing the lives of 10 million men by raising their EQ into the space of going through things. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to that. So we are going through the challenges & hard stuff anyway, might as well look for & learn the lessons as we go through it! It's just the wise thing to do! Bring your journal, a friend & ALL the men you know & in your life & let's intentionally learn how to get through & keep going! Let's get after it! *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/links/ ~ More The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D.

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Over the history of time the roles of men & women have been modified in many ways, especially in the last 60 or 70 years. But even with all that positive change, increased awareness & role models, better than 40% of men feel they are considered weak & are embarrassed if they talk about their mental awareness struggles. That's tragic when coupled with the fact that almost 80% of men polled talk about battling their own mental awareness with symptoms of anxiety, stress or depression. They believe if they talk & share that they are weak somehow! We feel like we should be able to "man up", "cowboy up", or just "suck it up" & be strong on our own because anything short of that is just weak! This MUST change like NOW! The Long Bearded Guy, Gordon D Melville & The King of EQ invites you to join him on his mission to positively change the lives of 10 million men by raising their EQ! Are you willing to stand with him & let our men know it's ok for them to share how they are feeling, to talk about things without feeling weak? Can you be a safe place without judgement of any kind & lead with love for the men in your life? Including YOU if you are one! Are we able to give grace to those around us?  Bring your journal & a friend as well as ALL the men in your life & let's have an open, honest & caring dialogue about it being good to talk, because it's not weak to speak!

  • The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville It's been said that hindsight is 20/20, and it only takes seconds to glance back. But it also requires courage! There is a reason that the rear view mirror in our vehicles is small, but the windshield is big! While where we are going is much more important than where we have been, it is still important to know where we have been for many reasons. But, while the courage it takes to glance in our rearview mirror takes seconds, it can be very impactful if we allow it to be. We can learn a TON, inspire ourselves to press on, and measure how far we have come in seconds, if we have the courage to look! Join Gordon D Melville, The Long Bearded Guy & Founder & CEO at JEWIL International, as he takes a little over 3300 seconds to courageously look back at key moments to see what the results of those key moments were. While IN those moments we may not see their magnitude, but looking back with some time elapsed can be eye opening! Being vulnerable & transparent are important, key leadership traits towards building trust, relatability & as an example of what TO or NOT to do! Bring your journal & a friend as always & let's show courage, take a few seconds to glance back & intentionally grow!
