  • In this episode we look at delayed dreams and when we should start pursuing them again. Most times, it is about timing and credibility. Some are still worth it and should be pursued now...others need more time before the timing is right.

  • The latest research suggests we spend 80% of our conversations discussing other people. While only 5% may be malicious, we sure do enjoy discussing the details of other people's lives. Some of this is to fill the time and some of this is to expose different members of the group. Listen in as I reveal the latest research on gossip, why we do it, and what to avoid.

  • A recent article from the Breakpoint Colson Center points out that young men are not forming social bonds with real, live people, even the kinds of bonds that have historically captured their attention. Girls are outperforming boys in all levels of school and fatherlessness has been rising since the 90s. It almost feels like a revolution is needed to build-up strong, servant-hearted young men who will go on to become great husbands and fathers one day. The communication channels are ready to explore!

  • What are three things we can do from a 'Relational Maintenance' standpoint to help strengthen our relationships moving forward?

    1) Committ to it

    2) Look forward to special time together

    3) Realize the importance for long-term success

    Relationships are not built overnight. They take many years to solidify but can show cracks over time if maintenance is not performed. Time to get to work!

  • In our series on 'Riding The Energy Bus to More Positive Thinking' we explore the next rule of The Energy Bus which helps you to look at your ride through life with a more positive, optimistic lens. Not everyone's ride through life is easy and 'enjoying the ride' does not mean we ignore the difficulties of life. However, with our minds in the right spot, we know we can become resilient and look to the good. We can fill our minds with things and people that will uplift us and not bring us down. 'Enjoying the Ride' is a culmination to the Energy Bus which has taught us powerful principles for how to think and stay positive on our journey...as much as we possibly can.

  • In our series on 'Riding The Energy Bus to More Positive Thinking' we explore the next rule of The Energy Bus which asks the question of: what fuels you? Often times we don't get burned out because of what we do, we get burned out because we forget why we do it. Our purpose is an opportunity to become very self-aware and know what it is you are supposed to do and where you are supposed to be. Purpose is the ultimate fuel and guiding system.

  • In our series on 'Riding The Energy Bus to More Positive Thinking' we explore the next rule of The Energy Bus which discusses what to do with those difficult people in our lives. In the book, negative people are referred to as 'Energy Vampires' because they suck the life out of teams, families, and situations. They are always negative, whining, complaining, and very draining. Unfortunately, many of these people don't even know they are acting this way. So what do we do? Tune in!
