• Trade-in Your Crutch For a Chisel | Short Order Episode 1
    May 21 2022
    Elite bowhunter and endurance athlete Cameron Hanes recently released a book entitled “Endure.” It was so good, I finished it in 2 days. In it, he talks about trading in your crutch, your excuse, your reason why shit won’t work out - for a chisel. Instead of allowing yourself to get by with excuses, force yourself to carve out your dreams, goals and desires with a chisel. It’s simple - yet profound… --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/orderandchaos/support

  • Call Yourself Out on Bull$hit and Lies
    Feb 13 2022

    I am a subject matter expert on creating excuses, lies and bullshit.

    I make excuses why things won't work out.

    I find reasons I won't be successful.

    I sabotage opportunities due to fear of failure.

    I wasn't always this way - and I am committed to change. In this episode, I share my experiences and methods of calling myself out on bullshit and lies I like to tell myself. Hopefully, you'll get something out of it which will help you do the same.

  • The Dark Place Where Our Demons Dwell
    Oct 15 2021

    As I was preparing to record this episode, I saw a friend's Instagram post - a young deputy and former Army Ranger took his own life.

    It is a tragedy - and sadly, a preventable one.

    Our first responders, military personal and those who have suffered or been exposed to the extreme trauma risk succumbing to the lies our internal demons convince us of.

    You are worthless...

    You are a failure...

    The world would be better off without you...

    When the demons have their way - the lies they tell have deadly consequences.

    In this episode, I reflect on the death of this deputy - and how I face the same fate eye to eye...

  • I Was Wrong | 2 Minute Tuesday 09/14/2021
    Sep 14 2021

    I don't know about you, but sometimes saying the phrase, "I was wrong" is so much harder than to say "I am sorry." In this episode, I give my quick thoughts on my personal struggles with ego and admitting when I am wrong.

  • Be a 9/12 American | United We Stand, Divided We Fall
    Sep 12 2021
    For those who were fortunate enough to experience 9/12/01, you know it was a day of transformation. Albeit short-lived, the bickering and disagreements that are the norm for any functional society nearly ceased. On that day, and many days that followed, most Americans set aside their difference, and came together - a truly united, United States. Only 20 years after 9/11, our nation is in utter chaos. The American flag, by some, is seen as a symbol of hate. The enormous good our beautiful Republic has spread throughout the world is discarded - and all focus is on the mistakes of the past. If we could deteriorate to this degree in only 20 years, what will this nation look like in 20 more years? It is up to us - We The People - to either come together in support of the blood-bought freedom we enjoy - or, lose it forever. I certainly hope we do not need another 9/11 to bring us together once again... and, I fear not even an act of terror so horrific could heal the internal hemorrhaging we are experiencing. We must find a way to bring 9/12 back again. Each and every one of us must commit to be a 9/12 American. Or, I fear, our Republic is doomed.

  • The "I Get To" Attitude: A Solution for First World "Problems" | Two Minute Tuesday 09/07/2021
    Sep 7 2021

    With all of the amazing blessings we have in life, it is easy to get caught up in our "problems." This morning, my mind gave me a hard reality check as I bitched about having to go back to work when it reminded me there are literally MILLIONS of people in this world who would take my life, my "problems", my worries, my hardships right now - AS IS.

    Instead of dwelling on all the things "we have to do" this week - together, let's change our perspective:

    Try this instead...

    I GET TO DO ____________ (fill in the blank.)

    Have a great week!

  • 2 Minute Tuesday | Build a Walled Garden | Train Jiu-Jitsu... Especially If You Hate Fighting
    Aug 31 2021

    In this very first Two Minute Tuesday (I tried, it ended up being a little over three minutes) I talk about the importance of building a "walled garden" around your mind. Find something that allows you to decompress, relieve stress, and find clarity. For me, that "walled garden" is my jiu-jitsu academy. I know, on the surface that sounds ridiculous. What kind of peace and serenity could be found rolling around with other sweaty humans, getting choked and engaging in controlled violence? Surprisingly, a great deal...

    For me jiu-jitsu improves my ability to critically think both on and off the mats. It tests my mettle and discipline. It exposes my weaknesses and highlights my strengths. Unlike any other activity I have ever experienced, jiu-jitsu, and the lessons learned on the mats, translate to almost every single area in life.

    Do you have to train jiu-jitsu? Of course not. Can your "walled garden" be your favorite hobby, spending time with family, meditation, lifting weights, or going on a Sunday hike? Absolutely. But, this will not be the last time you hear me speak about the benefits of training jiu-jitsu - it has literally changed my life and the lives of countless others who took the brave first step on to the mat.
