This episode is an observation from my trip on the east coast. I had the opportunity to do some wrestling camps, clinics, a speaking engagement, as well as coming back for a scholarship banquet that I was a previous recipient of. For most of my life I saw everything that I do separate from each other. Now I see everything that I do in my daily life as a natural creative expression of me. Figuring out how to experiment with life and creating something that works for you. Also in this episode I give a shoutout to Artist in Solidarity, a non-profit using art to highlight social initiatives. They currently have an online art auction and proceeds go to organizations that help migrant families. The auction is going on until 7/30.

This episode, recorded on the road, at the Ken Chertow wrestling camps in PA. I share some insights for our audience. I truly believe you have something to share the world. We allow fear, negativity, and doubt to paralyze us from what we could be. It’s safe and comfortable not going after something big in your life, especially when you don’t know if there’s an end reward? Could we bypass that fear and understand that someone needs what you have locked up inside you. Don’t do the world a disservice without you going after something you want to express in this world.

This episode, I share a story of some spoiled berries from my refrigerator, while I was cleaning out the kitchen one day to bring up a creative insight. That it takes one negative person, thing or thought to over ride a group of positive things. They say it takes 12 positive affirmations to counteract 1 negative. Maybe in your life, what are those 12 positive things for your body, mind, and heart that you’re fueling yourself with over the course of the day. The world will send you a cascade of negative patterns to make you feel like you need something from the world. If you’re getting hit with all the bad things going on with the world, how do you think you’re going to feel on a daily basis? Negativity will be a part of our lives, can we figure out how to balance that out with more things that’s going to empower and uplift you? Brewing some inspiration for your week!

On this new episode, are you really failing at things or being redirected towards something greater? We fall into the trap of feeling like nothing is working or not getting the traction we would like.

This episode, I use the new Flash movie that hit the theaters over the weekend, as a unique metaphor for our lives and asked a great question, if we got to meet our future selves would they regret the choices you’ve made until now, or would they hug you and tell you that you’re going the right direction. I personally love time travel and quantum theories, but it really had me thinking what if our daily choices were impacting our future versions in a negative or empowering way?

This episode we talk about sprinting after your dreams. When opportunities arise that gives you the platform to share your gifts and talents, we can’t walk after it, thinking that another great opportunity will come.

We flip the script and she turns into the host and interviewer, for this episode, diving into questions about my world and a lot of things that I do from running Langfordesign and Just Heart Apparel to creating books and characters like Seed and Mush Mush, from working with organizations, starting an arts scholarship in remembrance of my mom, to me competing in college wrestling and even now still training and competing, recently winning a US Open Masters Championship. I give shoutouts to various individuals and organizations, and also a quick shoutout to my wife who's recently started her massage therapy practice. Be warned there's a few times where we get a little emotional on things so if my voice gets a little crackly you'll understand why. When I look back I've accomplished and created so many things it's hard to keep count, but for anyone that may be listening, the path is to keep going, keep creating, t

This episode, we share a quick story from a good friend and wrestling coach who shared a pic of him running in a marathon. In the picture, there was a kid running right behind him, keeping up the pace. This provided a great topic that is applicable to anything in life.
