Bring It On

Ok....so a little different topic today. Wanted to talk about sales & building relationships & why that latter part is critical to your success in this arena.

Soccer season has kicked off. Embarrassing my players because I love them. Coaching is impactful & your more powerful than you think you are.

This is likely a depressing listen. A friend of mine left this world & she was so so sad. I'm struggling with it & I wanted to remind everyone of the impact they can have on other people. Even though sometimes it doesn't happen, we do have the power to affect change. It won't work every time but isn't it worth it to keep trying?

I've had several conversations this week revolving around this specific topic & it seems pertinent to get my happy a$$ back in here to talk about it.

If you're struggling, please reach out. To someone, somewhere. Face to face connection is a powerful piece to our lives. Be liberal with your smile, you never know how much it can help someone out.

It's been a month. Ugh. Sorry for being such a slacker. And this episode is probably garbage so there's that. Random ramblings. My brain is somewhere - I need to go find it.

This past weekend, Thursday through Saturday I had the great opportunity to attend Summer Smash (again) in St. Louis at 1st Phorm HQ. A weekend immersed in the people, the culture & the MISSION of why we do what we do every day. Kinda long winded. There is a funny recap of me being an idiot as well as Andy's speech from the opening ceremony on Saturday before the big party.

I truly hope you listen to this entire episode. Andy's message is nothing like you've ever heard from him before. All my love friends. Thank you for sharing the message. <3 I am eternally grateful.

No starting subject today so we just roll with it ;) With weather getting warmer it makes me think about heat training, electrolytes & hydration. And some random thoughts about intentional conversations with our kids.

Today I was finally able to chat with Jeanne Larsen about her recent trials she's been dealt, how she is handling some pretty significant life challenges & changes. She shares a bit of her story with me & I am ever so grateful for her willingness to share. I have gotten to know her the past couple of years through the studio here, classes she has attended, a business mastermind I coerced her into attending & general conversations. And I have come to learn that her quiet & gentle persona is purely a front......inside lies an absolute savage filled with determination, independence & the greatest will to fight I have had the privilege to meet.

Jeanne, thank you for joining me today & I am excited to see where your resilience takes you. I am ever so grateful for our friendship. You have taught me a few things along the way. And I didn't say this on air because I didn't want both of us to be a bawling mess. I appreciate you so much.

You can find Jeanne's bakery on Facebook. Or you can email her directly at [email protected]

I HIGHLY recommend her Lemon Bars AND Angel Food Cake!!! You seriously do not even know they are gluten free. So good.

Life, kids, advocating for yourself & your kids. Living the example and recording belches. :)

Looking forward to racing this weekend & also looking at challenging myself with some more difficult conditions & longer distances. A few thoughts on getting uncomfortable & communication.
