Living in the moment is a huge thing that we all take for granted. When you do, amazing things can happen. Today I’d like you to learn to focus your efforts on the little things to positively affect the big picture. Let’s have a cup of joe.

This was a lesson revealed due to an irrigation system. Almost every day you will encounter things that make you uncomfortable, make you feel stressed or basically put you under pressure. These situations provide great opportunity for you to better yourself. Let’s have coffee together.

Doing well, doing your best is essential but to be great you need to be consistent with this effort.

Almost every day you will encounter things that make you uncomfortable, make you feel stressed or basically put you under pressure. These situations provide great opportunity for you to better yourself. Let’s dive in to this over coffee today.

Today’s episode was inspired by a commencement address I was made aware of recently. In a nutshell, be conscious of the way you think about the world around you. It really takes an effort to do this. Things aren’t always happening to you, you are happening to them. Let’s talk about it over coffee today.

At times in your life you will find yourself having to be a leader. I know, I know…. you may be one who avoids raising your hand and volunteering to lead but it’s more than that.

Keep this in mind today - build your character first before you truly understand what it is to be a leader. I’ll take mine black, no cream for this one.

Today we’re going to talk about fame. In our social media-centric world we need to get a handle on this topic. I got the inspiration for this episode from Leo Braudy who wrote “The Frenzy of Renown: Fame and It’s History.” Here’s what I want you to consider today: if you want people to recognize you and remember you, make sure there’s a reason for it. Let’s have coffee.

Have you ever thought about looking back at the past month and reviewing that instead of looking back at the whole year? Over coffee today I have a few exercises for you to consider.

Is our life really that short? This is a question that at first seems simple to answer. However, I would invite you today (over a cup of coffee if you like) to consider a different perspective on the answer to this question. Let’s take a sip and dive in.
