Your most pressing questions faced head-on. Religion is a topic, like politics, I typically avoid. It’s polarizing to the point that most people cannot discuss it without emotion and judgement. I tackle the subject in this episode including the hard questions like why do bad things happen, do I really believe the Bible, and how I went from a non-believer to a believer.

Insights from an original Pathfinder. My goal with this episode is to bring you another interview with a “regular guy” who has found a way to have it all. I want to show you that you can lead an amazing life and achieve meaningful goals while not being an internationally acclaimed speaker or a Navy SEAL or a bestselling author. My guest today is Dr. Isaac Greeley. He’s a regular guy in that he doesn’t have a book to promote or a product to sell you. Beyond that, he’s anything but regular. Isaac is an entrepreneur, coach, and chiropractor. He’s the owner of The Mat Factory, an MMA, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club just outside of Pittsburgh. He’s also a black belt in Jiu Jitsu. At 42 years old, he not only trains and spars with his athletes- including professional fighters- he is a professional fighter himself. Further, Isaac is a partner in a chiropractic practice with five locations. He’s a father and husband. He’s an avid outdoorsman and fly fishing junkie. And he’s a philanthropist. If you’ve ever he

How to create “drive.” Does success require hard work? Well, yes and no. When you discover how to turn hard work into inspired action, the pain and suffering that is required to achieve meaningful goals get easier. But you have to stop and do the work. You have to discover what’s important, why it’s important, and how to set goals that are connected to those things. But there’s fear. I know. And doubt. So, you wait. Maybe next year. Maybe when you read one more book or talk to one more expert. So the waiting continues. You feel adrift. Or maybe like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Like you’re so busy you can’t stop to evaluate what you even want lest you drop one of the balls you have in the air. But you know there’s more in you. You know you’re leaving too much on the table. You know you’re capable of more and being average scares the crap out of you. But still, you wait. How do you break this cycle? How do you move forward despite chaos, busyness, fear, doubt, and uncertainty? How do you turn h

An Episode on Saying "Yes" to the Right Things. Saying “no” is hard. Especially when you want to maximize your life and take advantage of every opportunity. Or if you’re a people pleaser, like me. Saying “yes” is easy but, little do we know in that moment that we’re inherently saying “no” to something else. Your time and energy are limited so you need to spend them on your highest value tasks. If it’s at work, saying “yes” to one project means saying “no” to another task that you’d be putting that same time and energy into. If it’s in your personal life, saying “yes” may mean saying “no” to working out or spending time with your family. In this episode, I share how to say “no” and, more importantly, how to determine what do say “no” to so you know what to say “yes” to.
