John O'Leary Podcast with Dr. Kelli Harding - Life Changing Stuff!

9/20/2019

John O'Leary is quickly becoming my favorite podcast to listen to as it is always emotionally connecting and rejuvenating that I'm finding that I can't miss it.  His book "On Fire" is my favorite book, and I also need to get back into reading that book again soon.  I need to get connected with this guy even more with all that he has to offer.  Great stuff! 

When this podcast came out recently, where he interviewed Dr. Kelli Harding, I knew I had to not only share this with my students as a blog assignment, but also to share it with others - which I have. ;-)    One of the first lessons that got to me was simply the fact that our technological social world is actually changing our lives - heck, it's been proving to change our biology as Dr. Harding states. It's kind of scary.  As I write this, I see a few of my students (the ones doing it a lot) on their phones.. the look withdrawn, low energy, they have work that needs to be done, they have questions they could be asking me; real life taking a back seat to a 7-inch screen.  :-(

Another of the many things that struck me as being HUGE LESSONS - was the fact that our relationships can make such a big difference.  I have seen that thousands and thousands of times in my life, even this week and truthfully - I've seen it (and experienced it) today!  Not quite sure what I would do if it wasn't for the people that I have in my life.

Finally, my third catch from this fantastic podcast - by the way, you can find it HERE -  is this awesome quote she shared with the listeners in this podcast, “True health is hidden in the million tiny moments of everyday life.”  This statement is so valid, it's just dripping with authenticity and truth!  These happen every day and we miss so many of them, I know I do for sure, because we are all caught up in the wrong things that we are trying to keep up with.  This is another of many reminders to stop and figure this point out! 

Powerful stuff.. this keeping up with my students is fun, challenging, but mostly, it's a very good thing.  :-)

Wow... what a productive morning today!!  I got up with my cup of coffee and our dog sitting on my lap as I finished up another book - "The Bottom of The Pool" by Andy Andrews.   What a fabulous book and I knew it would be since I listened to Andy Andrews on 3 different podcasts - 2 as a guest on Brian Buffini's Podcast and the other was on John O'Leary's podcast.  The third one of course was on Andy's own podcast - "The Professional Noticer".   The discussions I heard about this book sold me on getting a copy.

His book really got me thinking about my thinking!  It's everything to me as my thinking affects every thing in my life.  You might say duh... that's not a surprise at all.  But to hear it from him, to read it in the words that he shared so many stories about this - WOW was all I could say after reading it.  That is a book that you want to make sure you get your hands on for sure.

I also watched a video clip this morning sent to me by a good friend, Stan Targosz.  He sent it to Dr. Jeff Lip too as the 3 of us had a fabulous meeting this past week in recording a podcast for Jeff's show - again, a must listen to... find it (after August 12, 2019)  and all of his podcasts at www.jefflip.com -  We had some FANTASTIC and POWERFUL discussion both before and after the show.  I walked out of there very excited and fired up about things in my life.  A product  that usually comes from hanging out with awesome people like Stan and Jeff. 

Finally, I got to work out this morning - which I'm back on my schedule of every other day getting to the gym.  That also allows me to listen to some great podcasts, do some awesome thinking, and always walking out of there feeling better about life and myself.    This morning was no different.   Scott Smith (The Daily Boost podcast), https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/motivationtomovecom/daily-boost  mentioned about that it's time to become the person you have always wanted to be.  To start doing the things that you need to do in order to start making that happen.  The little things matter for sure.  Changing habits matter.  Our thinking matters.  Action steps matter!  Again, this is something that I know  has to happen, but for many reasons (my excuses) they have not happened.  Amazing to get re-connected with this again.  I needed to hear it!

"Dr. Ron's Words of Wisdom"  (https://drronblake.com/welcome-to-dr-rons-words-of-wisdom/) was another podcast that I got to listen to, with help of Sam Crowley.  Dr. Ron mentioned that "only the prepared are in a position to change directions".  Again, total truth that needed to find it's way into my mind & heart.   Taking the action steps, changing my habits, doing little things that become big things!

What a great way to start my day and hope you use this to help yourself out a little.

Purpose, Passion & Education

6/20/2019

 I was listening to a couple of great podcasts today - I find so much value from Sam Crowley and John O'Leary.  These are just two of the podcasts that I listen to out of maybe 12 -15 that I find so much key & valuable information.  

Sam always hammers home the points about Purpose & Passion.  He's got it right in understanding that we don't have a ton of time here on earth, and we shouldn't spend it chasing after the wrong things.   Sure we need to have money, but it should not mean that we have to settle for things throughout life.   I think all of us at one point or time in our lives think about things that could be if we every chose to go after things that fire us up.  Most of those dreas and goals start disappearing as we get older.  We get comfortable & content with things the way they are.  We get tired as we get older.  Life starts happening to us and things get in the way.  It sure is easy to kind of let go of those dreams or at least put them on the back burner.  Amazing things start happening when we move them to the front burner and start believing that we can actually start doing some things that may make them happen.

Now, John O'Leary also speaks about finding our Passion & Purpose in our lives and all of his guests will back that up.  Heck, even his best selling book, "On Fire" is all about people with passion & purpose in their lives.   But today's guest was Hill Harper a famous actor who brought up how important education is in our lives.  Not just a degree or diploma, but true education that makes us a better human being.  Finding the connection to what we are meant to do alon with investing in ourselves so that our lives deal with making a difference with others.  

Like I said, these two podcasts really connected with me and I think they will connect with you too.  They inspire me to think harder about what I want to do in my life and they remind me not only the importance of making choices that match with my purpose & passions in my life along with looking to make a difference with others.

Commit & Figure It Out

8/26/2018

Amazing the thoughts and ideas that come to you when you choosing to put good stuff into your head.  That's a key in life I've been finding lately.  I get to choose what goes into my mind, thereby choosing the items I know that will have an influence on me.  John O'Leary's podcasts  help me in so many ways.  I first connected to his book "On Fire" and now I'm hooked on his podcasts.  His latest one got me fired up about a few things - find it HERE and listen to it - It got me going and I hope it at least gets you thinking too.  There are so many things I need to commit to - It's about time I do those things.    How about you?  

One thing that I have really seen a difference in my life is the simple fact that I'm reading more.  It is amazing to hear that so many people mention that throughout their lives on the importance of reading.  I am finding how much of a key it is.  Try it.  You might like it.   It's helping me to stay focused (which I need a lot of help with) and with that I'm able to commit and focus more on the things that I need to do.

We Can Be Inspired With & Without Tragedies

7/20/2018

This is a personal one for me and I hope it is for you too.  These two podcasts spoke right to my heart and like many stories before (through other podcasts, books, videos, movies, articles, blog posts, etc.) I keep getting reminded about working harder, becoming better, doing more, helping others more, etc.  I don't want to just look to improve because of a sad & tragic story!  I NEED to look to do more & get better each and every day without having these stories to remind me.   

​Both podcasts (and many others) are from John O'Leary.  Check out the first one HERE -  A great interview with one of the first men in space  - a guy who came from having not much at all to being on top of the world.  A great story of overcoming, dreaming, hard work, believing in yourself - so many great lessons.   There is some great mix of a few actual historical recordings here on some of the things going on back in the 1960's with the space race.  Jim Lovell does a great job with story-telling all the events from back in the day.

The second one is HERE -   A HUGE story - a true story - of a high school volleyball team from Iowa, overcoming loss, and the magic of believing in others. An amazing story that was turned into a movie - "The Miracle Season" - one that I will be looking to watch, and watch soon.  Amazing lessons that I picked up from listening to the podcast, and I know there would be many  more from the actual movie too.  John  spends some wonderful time talking with Coach Kathy Bresnahan about her special team, her player and their lessons they all learned together.
 

Do me and yourself a huge favor - listen to both of these podcasts and then also after listening to this show of mine, start looking to see how you can look to work hard, get better, help others, be an encourager more, a more positive self-talker too.  We can do it you know - I can and so can you. 

You can listen to my podcast HERE on my podcast webpage.

School Is Back IN Session & Not Just For Kids

9/4/2017

This summer was good one for picking up some new lessons that I found in a few places. 
First of all, I got connected with some awesome people that have taught me some very valuable lessons.  One of the best things about this is that I’m still in touch with them and I’m still learning new lessons, which I need to do bigtime!  The confidence factor that they have helped me with was something that I think meant the most.  Their encouragement in my goals and dreams was something that I needed for sure.  I got my podcasts going and I am looking forward to working on other projects coming up soon too.

Part of that was the fact that I found all of them have battles that they are fighting. Things going on in their lives and trying to do good things and go after their dreams and goals.  Those things they were going through were some of the very reasons why they wanted to do what they were doing!  I’ve seen it around other places too and I know darn well the validity of this – all of us are battling some sort of issue that gets in the way of things we want to do in life.  The same can be said that it’s more than one issue too.   The amazing part is – the help that we are giving each other by sharing our stories, learning from each other, encouraging each other, along with helping to instill hope in each other – all of that is a very powerful formula for success.

Another lesson this summer came from someone from my past.  A friend of mine that I grew up with and knew from middle school  on.  We were not great friends, but good ones.  She was actually my senior prom date in 1984 and her name was Erin.  She passed away back in February of this year from a battle with cancer.  Sad to say, I didn’t find out about it until last month.   I am amazed and upset with myself for not knowing, especially in this age of social media where I can do a much better job on connecting with people that I cared about throughout my life.  Sad to say, I did not do that with Erin.

You see, I’ve been on a type of quest to tell people from my past how much they have meant to me along with thanking them for the investment they made into me – even if it was brief, it’s something that I can now see was very important for me and my life’s journey.  I’ve told some people that exact thing, but others I have not.  Erin was one that I had meant to tell her, but time ran out on her and me to do that.  What a painful but valuable lesson as I now know I need to reach out to other in my life and let them know.  The key is, like many other things in life, is not to put it off.

Another one of the valuable lessons I learned this summer was that of one I already knew about, but sort of forgot about the value of it.  The lesson?  How valuable reading books can be.  I got a couple of them done this summer and it has inspired me to try and read a book a month in the upcoming year.  I have a new #1 most favorite book on my list – and that is “On Fire” by John O’Leary.  It is one that I recommend you read.  It is an amazing & life changing story that has greatly affected the way I am viewing things in my life.  Always open to discussion and feedback.. let me know.
