    Patric Young | Turn Your Darkest Pain Into Your Brightest Victory

    Patric Young | Turn Your Darkest Pain Into Your Brightest Victory

    What’s your typical response when life paralyzes you? When you feel your pain more than your purpose?
    For most people - it’s the Victim Mentality (aka “Why is this happening to me?”). That’s why I’m excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with pain. And the way he’s dealing with it is BEYOND INSPIRATIONAL. Today, I have the honor of sitting down with former University of Florida basketball standout and professional basketball player turned ESPN Analyst, Patric Young. Just 10 days before his wedding, Patric was involved in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. But as Patric will tell you, his accident wasn’t life-changing…it was life-affirming. As Patric shares his stories, he shares insights on overcoming the Runner-up Mindset and the sheer determination that turns adversity into a mission.
    In this episode, we unpack the paradox of control versus management, leaning into the idea that sometimes, letting go is the first step to truly grasping what matters. From the Parable of the Talents to the wisdom of managing life's manageables, Patric's narrative instills a sense of purpose and calls us to a deeper understanding of our true identity and the power of perseverance, even when life throws its hardest curveballs.
    Patric’s infectious humor and spirited anecdotes offer a fresh perspective on integrating purpose and faith into our daily lives. If you want a new perspective about overcoming life’s toughest pains, then don’t miss today’s episode.
     
    In this episode, you'll hear:
    Overcoming the runner up mindset. The revelations Patric experienced while being in the hospital for 128 days. What you must realize before you make any transition in life. The concept of "managing the manageables" instead of trying to control everything. Discovering true identity and purpose through self-awareness and aligning with one's true self. Embracing challenges with gratitude and an "even if" mentality inspired by faith and resilience.  
    Key Quotes
    “Take care of your house.” “As long as I’m living, ‘Why not?’”

    5 Minute Drill | Ditch the Do-Over Mentality

    5 Minute Drill | Ditch the Do-Over Mentality

    Struggling with setbacks can feel like a constant uphill battle. I've discovered that sometimes the answer lies not in reinventing the wheel, but in turning back to the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that once led me victory. This episode goes against the ever so annoying 'new year, new you' mantra. It's a deep dive into the potency of recognizing when to reset vs. restart. Realignment isn't about scraping everything and starting from scratch — it's about recalibrating back to our core strengths and drawing clarity from the victories of our past. 
    So, if you want a mindset that will actually position you to bring out your best and help you achieve your goals, then lock in to today’s episode.
    Let’s get it!
     
    In this episode, you will hear:
    The importance of shifting your paradigm from “restart” to "reset,” especially when facing life’s challenges. J.R.’s personal experiences on resetting in the areas of mindset, marriage, finances, and health. Strategies to recalibrate to your core strengths, and leveraging past successes.  Differentiating between the pressure of "starting over" and the grace of a strategic reset. Encouragement and actionable steps to reset and realign with your 2024 goals.

    Will Benson | Stay In the Game

    Will Benson | Stay In the Game

    What’s your typical first move when things aren’t going your way? …when NOTHING seems to be working? 
    Here’s how most people respond: panic, complain, blame, rage in frustration. If you’re reading this and going, “Yep. That’s me,” trust me, I’m just as guilty as you are. Those responses…or I should say reactions…are a typical human response. But there’s a better way, and you and I both know it. 
    That’s why I’m excited to get on the mic with a guy who knows all about dealing with things not going as planned…and we’re not just talking about a thing or two…we’re talking multiple YEARS of things not going his way. Today, I sit down with Cincinnati Reds outfielder and former 1st Round Pick, Will Benson. In our conversation, we lean HARD into the tough seasons of Will’s life and career and what he did to overcome them and get better from them. His message is all about honoring your God-given path and giving back to the communities that gave you a chance.
    If you want to be more equipped to come out on top when things aren’t going your way, then lock in to today’s episode.
     
    In this episode, you will hear:
    Three key lessons from Will’s story of being on the brink of being released to one of the hottest hitters in Major League Baseball. Will’s message if you’re struggling with the gap between where you are and where you know you could be. Will’s advice regarding constructive criticism and then implementing it. The power of process-focused goals, daily routines, and the pursuit of mastery. The impact of fatherhood on Will’s life and career.

    5 Minute Drill | Break the Assumption Cycle

    5 Minute Drill | Break the Assumption Cycle

    Have you ever wondered why our closest relationships sometimes falter despite our best intentions? This episode takes a hard look at the consequences of taking those we care about for granted and the insidious nature of assumptions. We weave through personal anecdotes and expert insights, highlighting the invisible yet significant impact of acting with intention in maintaining the vitality of our closest relationships.
    In today’s 5 Minute Drill, we also unpack leadership expert, John Maxwell’s, stance that “the biggest leadership mistake that leaders make is that they lead by assumption.” It’s a dangerous trap in leadership that happens all too often in relationships - especially if you’ve been in a relationship or have been married for a good amount of time. It’s something we’re all guilty of, even outside of relationships. I’m going to help increase your awareness around this. So, if you want to prevent the problems that come with the assumption trap, then lock in to today’s episode.
    Let’s get it!
     
    In this episode, you'll hear:
    The detrimental effects of unspoken expectations in personal and professional relationships. The role of intentional communication and gratitude in preventing complacency and conflict. Insights from leadership expert John Maxwell on the pitfalls of leading by assumption. Strategies to combat the hedonic treadmill. The power of visualization and mindfulness in raising one's happiness baseline and fostering appreciation. Practical advice for improving your impact and reliability in life.
