We go over the events that have unfolded over the past few weeks and our personal opinions on those events. We are humans and born imperfect we make mistakes but thankfully God forgives us. People aren't so forgiving when it comes to making mistakes they hold on to them and will cancel someone as soon as they say or do something that offends them. We will never come together as a nation if we don't come together as a people and learn to live with one another and our mistakes.

As Jordan calls it "mental strength", we all face our own issues and problems in our lives daily. We can improve our mental strength in many different ways, one of those ways is having a friend there for a "buddy check". It's something that we all can benefit from and is one of the many ways to keep moving forward and improving your own mental strength. Life has a number of speed bumps it will throw your way and the better prepared we are at facing those  hurdles the better we will come out in the end.

Jordan and Felipe do a little freestyle in this episode and we talk about all the things going on in our lives lately.

Dan is back and has some exciting news! He and his wife brought their first child into this world a few weeks ago. We catch up with Dan to see how things are going in these difficult times. Are we going to raise our children any different considering what has happened the past few months.

We like to have fun and project a positive outlook on life on this podcast. A lot of us are quarantined and spending a lot more time on our electronic devices. Mostly what you will hear and see on social media and main stream media is negative, we have to find the positivity in everything. We have to be the agent of change in this world to show everyone that we are still positive and can be happy even in rough times. This is a great time to take a step back and reevaluate you're situation and your life and make it better for you and your family. As always we have share some laughs and tell some funny stories but you'll have to listen to episode to find out what they are. 

Being positive and grateful for the things in your life isn't always easy but with some self discipline and help we can do just that. Social media and most news outlets are flooded with negativity surrounding COVID-19 giving us the opportunity to be negative and to find the bad. It doesn't have to be this way and we discuss why. There are so many things we can be grateful for so find that thing those things and be grateful.

Unfortunately we are currently in a state of crisis with the COVID-19 but that doesn't keep Jordan and Felipe from recording another episode. With all this time on our hands we can capitalize on the opportunity to sit down and evaluate where we are putting our effort or giving the most bandwidth in our lives. Do we stay at work late four days a week to get more work done or do we make it a point to leave work on time to eat dinner with the family or friends and talk to one another rather than just focusing on that little computer you hold in your hand. We both share about some of the struggles with our own bandwidth we face daily, weekly and monthly.

This episode is about having some laughs and talking about some of our Ranger School experiences along the way. How many people a year die from a drunk driver or texting and driving? A whole lot more than the coronavirus that's for sure. The media has a habit of generating some hysteria but why? 

River banks and life have one main thing in common; they are always changing.  What kind of mindset does it take to win in life when life is always changing? In this week's episode we take some time to talk about fixed mindset vs growth mindset.  When certain life circumstances get thrown your way they can seem insurmountable at times with the wrong mindset.
