Intentional Identity Statements with Mitch Matthews I’m Mitch Matthews and we're doing a deep dive into something we call Intentional Identity Statements. Listen To The Podcast: Today… it’s just you and me… that’s right. It’s a deep dive… and we’re talking about… Identity Statements. Okay… let’s do this. Identity Statements. We all have them. Most are just not intentional. Identity statements are those statements you say about yourself… the things you believe about yourself. Most of us say them all the time… but we don’t realize it. I’m a worrier. I’m always late. I’m so unorganized. I never win those things. My money always seems to run out before my month does. Ever said… or thought something like that? Well… that’s an identity statement. What’s crazy… is that our beliefs tend to shape how we see the world… right? So… if you believe… and say… “I’m a worrier.” How do you think your subconscious it going to react to that? More importantly… if you’ve said that about yourself for years… w

My guest Cameron Herold. Alright. I've got a little word association for you. I'm going to say a word and I want you to note, be aware of what words come to mind immediately. Are you ready? The word is meetings. Okay. How are you doing? What words come to mind? Is it dread? Is it nasty? Is it barf? Seriously, what comes to mind when you hear the word meetings? I mean, it's so sad but it's a necessary tool of modern business, the meeting, but why does it cause us so much angst, why does it cause us to run and hide? It doesn't have to be that way. Meetings do not have to suck. In fact, my guest is here to help. We're talking with Cameron Herold and he's written a book called Meetings Suck: Turning One of the Most Loathed Elements in Business Into One of the Most Valuable. Cameron is a guy who can speak to this. He's the mastermind behind hundreds of companies' exponential growth. He was entrepreneur basically from day one at 21. At 21, he already had 14 employees.

My guest is Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents California's 17th Congressional District, which is located in the heart of Silicon Valley. The congressman is serving in his first term and currently sits on the House budget and the Armed Services committees. Listen To The Podcast:   Now I know what you might be thinking dream think doers, you might be thinking wait, we don't talk politics on Dream, Think, Do. That is true, but I didn't invite the congressman on the podcast to talk about politics. Recently I met Ro at an event we were both at, and we realized we have a heart, we both have a heart for rural America. Ro is actually working hard on some really innovative strategies to bring high tech jobs to small towns instead of sending them kind of over places in the world. As you guys know, I come from a small town and I believe that some of the biggest and best ideas come from small towns. So we had a connection. Plus, I'm just fascinated with the guy. He's got an incredible story. I'll let you know her

She also operates her own youth driver development program called Compass Racing Development LLC. So cool.

Year of No Fear with Mitch Matthews I'm Mitch Matthews and we're declaring 2019 as the "Year of No Fear."  I know that's a bold statement but I believe this is the year to break free from worry and fear!  So let's do this.

I hope you're with me on this. Here's the thing, if you don't deal with worry, God bless you. That's fantastic.

I can tell you that the stats show that we get nailed by worry a lot. A lot of people get worried, a lot. They get hit by it. In fact, 72% of the American population, the workforce in America, says they're impacted by worry. 70%, the last was 72 ... 70% say that they lost sleep due to worry. 82%, get this, 82% of primary care visits are stress and worry

Plus not only am I joined by my favorite person on the planet but I get to discuss one of my favorite subjects on the planet.  Prayer. That's right, we're going after prayer. The subject of prayer and the reason for that is I think fourfold. Listen To The Podcast: I came up with four different reasons so get ready. Reason one, we've had a number of awesome guests on this year talking about meditation and how that plays into their lives and how that's helped them. I've mentioned on several occasions that I enjoy and absolutely appreciate meditation and at the same time, I pray. I think meditation is complementary to prayer but at the same time different than prayer. Many of you have picked up on that and started to ask questions. You’ve asked how prayer plays into my life. When do I pray? How do I do it? What does it look like for me? You want to talk about it and I love that. So I’m goin
