Have you ever noticed how the Fast Lane is full, but the slow lane is the one with more room and actually moving more quickly? Now think of that instead of on the freeway, but in your life... why do so many people go to the the Fast Lane just to sit behind someone else wishing they could go faster, when there is a faster way right next to them.... From literal to figurative, in this episode we go into this perception and idea and break it down to discuss it as it pertains to our lives. I look forward to you all listening and sharing your thoughts.

"Give it how I live it." The foundation of this podcast and this community to me is authenticity. In this episode we discuss so many of the inner thoughts and outer experiences that we are all having or seeing others have as we go through this life, and I specifically open up and remind that I'm experiencing the same mindset shifts, hardships, and struggles - and that I have to fight to walk the walk live by the same standards that I give to y'all and that we discuss episode after episode. This content is authentic, organic, and real, and I'm right there with all of you working on myself and being a better member of the community and culture, all while giving to the community and culture in and through this pod and in my demeanor and behavior. I look forward to you all listening. Thank you for your time.

We're halfway through January of 2026... and just like that the month will be over and can be a repeat of previous scenarios in which you wanted to make a change, and yet somehow didn't. The reason for that lack of change starts within. What has to happen... to your health, to the country and society around you, to your finances, to anything that matters to you before you say Enough is Enough and do something about it? In this episode, that's what we talk about.

We're kicking off 2026 with a heavy dose of self-reflection, accountability, introspection, and mindset shifting! In this episode we talk about how the one common denominator in our lives is... our SELVES, and how we must start by looking within and making changes to how we see the world, to change how we live in this world and how we act and react to the problems that we have. This one is a jumpstart to the new year and to achieving your goals and resolutions, no matter how small or big! HAPPY NEW YEAR, let's gooooo!

This episode is dedicated to my friend, Deja, who just passed away from cancer. I was inspired to record this while driving home from her funeral, so please forgive the audio quality and just tune in to her story and the beauty of her life and how it can and should remind and inspire all of us to grab hold of the life that we have right now and LIVE. 

Everybody dies, but not everybody lives. Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Enjoy life: LIVE.

There is a whole lot going on right now... What do you do when you feel like there is TOO MUCH going on? There are times when it just feels like life is hitting us from the left, the right, from friends, from family, from the world around us, and on and on... what do you do? How do you deal when you're in one of those phases where you just can't seem to keep up with something before the next thing comes up?

In this episode, we talk about it.

Sometimes it is really is right in front of us, but we don't see it because we aren't looking for it. This can be blessings, opportunities, the "silver lining" in a difficult situation, the list goes on... What you're looking for is what you'll find, and yet we can train ourselves (or be trained) to look at what others are doing, what we DON'T have, and things like that in which we see the things that make us unhappy and yet we stay surprised that those are the things that we keep on getting... if we look for it, we'll see it, and we'll get it... call it the Law of Attraction, call it whatever you want. This episode is meant to touch on this subject and begin the process of changing how and what we look at and see in this life of ours. LISTEN to this one and begin the change NOW.

Is money the word that comes to mind to fill in the blank in the episode title? It’s understandable if it does. We get into that - what about pain, though? How much pain does it take before we learn our lessons and change? Can’t we learn from others’ hardships and experiences all around us and apply it? Or does it HAVE to happen to us first, and if so, WHAT needs to happen to us for us to decide to prep and plan NOW and be proactive… financially, mentally, physically, and more. In this episode we touch on these thoughts and go over specific real-life examples and place ourselves in the mature yet difficult place of being on the receiving end of the serious question: How much ____ does it take to change your life?
