Recently I have had a breakthrough with understanding better the vision for my life. It has to do with this analogy of making sure your windshield of life is clear so you can travel with joy and clarity. I thought this was worth sharing and as always I hope it is helpful. 1. Use the tools you have2. Create habits of using those effectively3. Make small choices to cultivate the energy and environment you want to

Hope you all are having a great Thanksgiving! I just wanted to share a few tools that have helped me increase my overall levels of gratitude.1. Gratitude Dives - Set timer for 10 minutes. Get both your definition and the dictionary definition of the thing you are writing about, then write as much as you can about the thing and why you are thankful it is in your life. 2. Gratitude Flushes - Set timer for 10 minutes. Write a little bit about the thing you are grateful for, then write as much as you can what your life would be like without that thing in it.3. 5 Wonderful Things From the Day - You can do this with a lot of adjectives. It will help you to find some of the little gems from your day and improve your overall focus and what you look for in a day.If you would like to write one of these yourself, feel free to download a copy of this file:https://docs.google.com/document/d/10eHTQNgnkF3lpF5glaru02YjMkSxFwjRR7QnkP2uHQk/edit?usp=sharing

I have REALLY struggled with staying focused this semester. A week ago I started reading from "Indistractable" by Nir Eyal and it is helping me a lot! I look forward to having him on the podcast to dive DEEP into what I got out of this reading and how it has helped me in my life.For now, we have my initial takeaways from my first 30 or so pages through the book. As always I hope it is useful for you in some way. :)1.  All motivation is a desire to escape discomfort2.  The body is created to maintain a state of homeostasis - with all of the dopamine rushes and things it will return to a state of normalcy. 3. Your brain prefers doing to thinking"Indistractable" by Nir Eyal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QCC61Y3/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I have set some very high goals for myself and this podcast, and I really feel like I haven't lived up to them. I explored my thoughts on this topic and the imposter syndrome I have let come up from it.In this episode:Where I think it is coming fromWhat I am doing to combat itHow the Three Little Pigs relates to Imposter Syndrome

It is no secret that I have not been super consistent with uploading the podcast recently. I have been wanting to record/upload a ton of interviews... it hasn't really happened.I cannot blame it on my guests. I cannot blame it on the listeners of this podcast. I need to take full responsibility. The ball was in my court and I didn't take the shots I needed to take. With that said... I am still very optimistic. I have learned that the moments of failure are nothing compared to the great times that will surely come... from learning from it. In this way, the only true failures are the ones that you have chosen not to learn from. If you have chosen to learn from something you would label as a failure, then it is now a learning experience.With that backdrop, I wanted to share three quotes that have helped change my mindset on failure. I really hope these are helpful for you with confronting any failures that you may face in building your life, college experience, or business.1. "No man is a failure

In my third semester of college I did IBC! IBC is an experiential learning class where students get to start their own businesses from scratch! It was quite a good experience. Here I shared some of the things I struggled the most at with it.1. Leaning into my strengths2. Not Owning My Personal IBC Experience3. Reflecting

Wow so I totally thought I uploaded the "Struggles From My Third Semester" episode here. Haha I love how I didn't realize it until like 8 people had downloaded it!Anyways.... yeah this is an episode I made on a whim a bit ago but I didn't think the audio was high enough quality. I was quite bummed when I first listened to it again as I thought I had some great points and I saw it as a "milestone episode" of sorts.Yeah so I am going to edit this episode a bit (because I know there are some dead points in it that need to be edited out) but in any case I hope it is enjoyed. :)PS: I just uploaded the struggles from my third semester episode, so be sure to give that a listen if you would like to hear that episode.Thanks for your patience and for understanding.

Recently I have been deeply pondering on the story of The Little Engine That Could. It is an inspiring one for me for sure. I thought about 3 things we can pull from it that could prove very useful in our overall growth and lives. I included some train effects too for added effect. :)1. Conductor - Your brain and how you treat it 2. Tracks are your mindset - A lot of the obstacles and such are in your mind3. The fuel you put in is important - The best fuel will help you get to the best locations quickerIf you'd like to have more good fuel put into your tank one source is the new Discord server that is just for the community of this podcast.

 Self-Care and building a good relationship with yourself is one of the biggest focuses of this podcast. Today I wanted to dive into three of the biggest things I think are very important for self-care. There are many others, but these are three that will help get the ball rolling.1. Hobbies - 0:502. Playlists - 3:223. Friends – 6:57As I mentioned in the episode, I launched a special YIELD Today Discord Server yesterday for anyone that would like to chat with me and other listeners of the podcast about their goals, ideas, and things they are learning. If you are interested we would love to have you! https://discord.gg/a5KT7eGven

My second semester of school was DYNAMITE. I was working part-time, running a YouTube Workshop on campus, New Student Mentoring, and more! Even still, there were some things that I really struggled with in this semester. I wanted to highlight them here in hopes that it helps out someone.1.  Planning Ahead2. Not Speaking Up3. Nourishing Past Friendships

I have found that one of the biggest things that sets apart those who really get to capitalize on their dreams and ambitions and those who fizzle out early on is consistency and follow through. I would like to define each of these very quickly for you.ConsistencyBeing able to stick to a plan for growth and provide a predictable yet useful offering on a consistent basis. Showing up to work on time every day shows you are consistent, and it suggests that you are on the path to becoming the best _____________ that you can be. So much of the battle comes down to this question, "Are you able to show keep showing up?"Follow-ThroughFollow-Through goes right along with consistency. It includes the commitment that you are making to yourself and to others to achieve and work your best towards a specific result or output. Someone with fantastic follow-through says they will make something happen, and then they do. They are likely an elite performer of life. Truly this is a trait worth pursuing.Professionals ar

Yesterday I woke up WAY too early and decided to go on a run. While I was on the run, and shortly after, I had some thoughts come together that I thought may be worth making a podcast episode about. As always I hope it is helpful in some way. :)1.  You just need to get up this hill. If you are on the right path it will always be uphill.2.  All of the good stuff you are doing is preparing you for better things. 3.  Everyone has their own individual journey we know little about, empathy is the key.I know that I have really been slacking with the uploads lately. Being SO consistent for nearly a year (2 episodes a week) and then struggling to edit one interview and keep up the schedule has led to some feeling of inadequacy, fear, etc. On top of that I am also finishing up my old gaming YouTube channel, TanookiToadTeam this weekend so my attention has been riveted to that more than it has been in a while. I am bouncing back though. I know that I haven't been super consistent lately but I am trying and imagini

You may have noticed that I haven't uploaded an episode in a week!? What is going on?!?!?!I have been learning a lot about how the time, money, and energy that I have in my life are all limited.Doing an internship, classes, podcasting, and streaming on the side is a decent load to carry. Not to mention there are still some other important things I haven't gotten to finish yet.With a bitter-sweetness in my soul, I would like to announce that I will be finishing up my gaming channel (s) for the time being starting on October 16 (a week from today). That venture has blessed my life immeasurably but as far as my future goes I think the podcast deserves WAY more time investment. The best is yet to come, that's for sure.I also have been working on an interview I recorded recently but it still is not ready to upload. My process with editing those needs to change as I have recently changed the platform I use to record them and that is a bridge I have yet to cross (even though I really need to soon!)So

My time at Pizza Hut was short (around 5 months) but it was a cherished time for sure. Here are the three biggest lessons I took from the experience.1. Owning your role 2. Embracing the chances to learn3. Welcoming/supporting your teammates.Thank you for your patience! I am getting things figured out. New interview coming up on Monday. :)Support the show

I have been really struggling to edit a podcast interview I recently did. The stress from it has exposed the fact that I am in a hole of sorts right now - a hole I want to get out of.In this episode I talked about some of the things I am struggling with right now and learning from the struggle.I am very sorry that I missed the deadline for both podcast episodes this week. I am learning and will bounce back from this. I hope someone gets some usefulness from these thoughts.

Going to have to make some time to edit these episode descriptions. :/ I am definitely behind on them. In any case, I hope this episode is helpful for you!1. Be proactive2. Be present3. Learn deeply from your mistakes 

Some reason this is the episode that my heart most wanted to make today. As someone who is currently struggling with wanting to live a better life and also help more people it is helpful to consider what I should not do. I hope that it is helpful for someone else like it was helpful for me. I will update this when I get another chance. Thanks for understanding.1. Living only by convenience2. Living too focused on material things3. Living as a spectator of life the whole time and not getting time in as a participant

I will update this later. Thank you for your patience. Hope this helps. :)1. Votes for your best self2.  Stored Energy3. Tribal habits
