It’s very much about living life on your terms and having what you want to have. Damon is a person in my life that I see embodied. I talk about the site about mentorship and coaching and things like that, but I look at Damon even though he's not directly my mentor, but I love the way that this person is creating the life that he wants to have, and that becomes a point of measurement for me.

In this episode, I am excited about today's conversation with Travis Chappell. Travis is somebody that I've just bumped into from being in the podcast space when I started to learn more about him and understand his journey to creating what's arguable, one of the biggest podcasts on planet earth. I wanted to talk to him but not about business and instead about life, how you build confidence, work through failure, take responsibility, and ultimately this thing that we do to try to show up for ourselves. Travis's journey was laid out in front of him; by the time he was 21, he was married, had a house, had a mortgage, had a college degree, had all these things because that's what the world wanted him to have. And then he found as he stepped into creating his life that maybe that's not what he wanted. This is a really beautiful and profound conversation. I hope that you'll take some time to listen here today. Grab a notebook because I'm telling you right now, there's a tremendous amount of value that Travis will d

We're in this hotel, we're just talking, and I'm just something about his presence that made me want to stay engaged in his story and journey. I asked him about, you know, why are you here? What are you doing? Why bother going through the travel during COVID and showing up and paying for the hotel in the whole nine and that kind of back and forth that happens. He said something really interesting to me. For a long time, I've contemplated this idea and understanding within myself what it means to be a man? And I wouldn't say that this is a conversation that ostracizes women from it, not by any scope of the imagination. Some of the information that David shar

In this episode, I share with you the book Think Unbroken, and it is about The Vortex. That darkness in that place where we're not showing up for ourselves, we're not taking care of ourselves, we're not doing the things that we said that we're going to do, but ultimately it's a conversation that leads us to this place, where we have massive change occur in our life. Mindset is everything, and it starts with the information that we're putting into our brains. What are we learning? What are we taking in? What are we consuming? Who are we around? What are we doing with them? So much about what happens in our lives starts with how we gather, obtain, retain, and use education and the information we get.
