A few years ago I shared my Reinvention Series that was wildly popular (Ep. 301-306). It shared my 3.5 year period of going through a terribly difficult time that included a debilitating back injury, 2nd knee replacement, sleep apnea diagnosis, being burnt-out, and ultimately exiting Fitness Quest 10 from day-to-day operations. What I realize now is that it was all a setup for what is about to be NEXT. I recently made a huge decision that is setting up my next step in business & life. But I had to take the FIRST step before advancing to the NEXT step. After 25-years of being in...

I just got back from prison. Yep—you read that right.

Ding-ding. Let’s get ready to rumble. We are in the octagon today and in the fight of your life. Sometimes life will punch you in the gut. You’ll take hits financially, relationally, in business, or in your health. You might even sometimes feel like you’re getting knocked out.

But here’s my question… Who’s in your corner?

The people you surround yourself with in both the good times and the bad times will make or break you. And today, I’m sharing a message that recently hit me at 1:30 in the morning, and forced me to pop-up, write down my thoughts, and later record a little Spittin’ Fire (hence Ep. 440).

So today, I’m talking about your “cornermen” (or corner-women) in your life — the thoroughbreds who lift you up, sharpen you, and help you to keep swinging…even when you’re down & out. Or give you specific instruction on how to get out of a tough time.
Specifically, I’ll give you 5-moves you can make right now, whether you are winning the
fight…or getting your butt kicked.

Specifically, I’m going to share 5 moves that will help you do the following:

  • How to get rid of the stinkin’ thinkin and the scarcity mindset that can rob you when you in the middle of the “fight.”
  • How to stay in “DREAM-mode” and allow your dreams to inspire and empower you to keep going. You gotta stay IN the fight.
  • How to BE the person you are trying to attract.
  • How to best cut the noise and narrow your focus.
  • How to keep trusting God when you feel like He has deserted you.

Friends, thank you for being in my corner…I sure am honored to be in yours. We’re in this fight together — and I pray God gives us the strength, perseverance, and wisdom to win today’s battles and tomorrow’s wars. Today’s episode will remind you of what you’re made of, who’s around you and the importance of STAYING IN THE FIGHT!!

2️. On Apple, please leave a 5-star rating & please write a glowing review.
3️. Send this episode to your “cornerman” or someone who needs a cornerman (or corner-woman) right now.

While we will have several members in the room (as both participants and presenters), this is for ANYONE who desires MORE in life. This program is open for anyone follows me on social media, reads my emails, listens to my podcast, desires their next level in life, or needs to step away for one of the most exhilarating and inspirational several days of their life.
