I think I found a dynasty… seriously. I’m not talking about sports and which team is the next New England Patriots, or the Yankees or LA Lakers or something foolish like that… but a family dynasty. One of the definitions of dynasty is “a series of members of a family who are distinguished for their success, wealth, etc.”

Today we have Jason Johnson – cousin of previous guest, Georgia Fay, and therefore nephew of another previous guest, Georgia’s father: Alvin Smith. If you haven’t heard their episode, go back and listen. For real. I’m telling you, these folks, this FAMILY… is a dynasty of WINNERS. And when I say that, please don’t think that just means they show up and collect a trophy without earning it. Winning is not easy glory and fame and confetti falling from the ceiling. It’s fighting through unique challenges, and making up your mind – making, building, renewing, changing, creating – fighting for a mindset that can win.

In this episode, Jason discusses how he has been able to live well despite losing his mother to cancer when he was a young boy.

Don’t sit back and relax and enjoy the show. No. I need you to commit your attention and lean in to this episode.

Thank you for listening. I believe this can help you, or maybe even help you help someone else, make some winning decisions.

When someone you love passes away… its tragic. There’s no way to say it that isn’t painful. But its even more painful when that passing is sudden and unexpected. In today’s episode, Adam Parker shares his experience with grief, depression, anger… a vast array of emotions he worked through and dealt with after his father passed away suddenly from meningitis. If you are in a similar situation, I hope this message helps you heal. It probably won’t take away the pain, but it may help you recover. And if you have not experienced the death of a friend or a loved one, I hope this will help you be able to support someone who has.

Thank you for listening to this episode. I hope it helps you heal and continue winning.

Go get some exercise! 

Get some fresh air!

Those are things we are told when we’re frustrated or are trying to figure something out…or we’re driving our family crazy locked inside the house.

We’re told that because it’s been known to help. But it does more than that. Today, we’re joined by Stacey Cothren, an army veteran, mother, and a school counselor. She shares her own story, and how, challenging physical exercise actually makes us smarter and can help you change what you believe about yourself.

This episode is fairly personal for me, as well, and you’ll hear a little bit about this as you listen.

Well, thank you for listening to today’s episode. We hope you enjoy it, and that it contributes to your next winning decision.

Hate speech.

Our society is increasingly vigilant and ruthless about eradicating it from every platform and conversation. However, what about the words you use and the things you say about YOURSELF to YOURSELF!?! Those words and ideas can be much more harmful and long-lasting than whatever anyone else tells you.

In this episode, Rachel LaValley, shares her tormenting battles in her own mind about self-image and comparison, self-hate speech, and how she began WINNING those battles. Still fighting them? Yes. Winning more of them? Yes. Can you do the same? Yes, you can.

Thank you for listening to this episode, we hope it contributes to your WINNING MIND!

What would you tell the 17 year old you? Or maybe you’re only 17… what do you think will be important in your life in 10 years, and what can you do about it today? In this episode, Markel Smith – a young man from Athens, GA, tells us a little bit about his life – the rude awakening he got when he graduated high school, and how that unfortunate situation led him to create and develop a habit of work and improvement in his own life. Don’t sit there and accept everything that happens to you. Sometimes you need to get up and work for a better outcome, a better way of living. That’s what Markel did. Thanks for listening to today’s episode. I hope it contributes to your next winning decision.

This is part two of an earlier conversation I had with Hurl Steward. He’s a man who has overcome a lot of adversity – some due to events beyond his control, and others that were self-inflicted. But he’s winning now! In this episode we discuss his life and mindset in order to win as a husband and father. I know there are a lot of problems in our world, and so much to be frustrated with, but let this be a reminder that you are surrounded by so many good and gifted people. And you never know, you just might be the person someone else needs in order to know there is a better way to think and live…and ultimately WIN!

His parents didn’t speak English, didn’t know American culture or almost anything about this country when they immigrated to the US. Yet he goes on to graduate college with two degrees, get married, start a family… achieve the American Dream!

This is Danny Delgado’s story, and he joins us on today’s episode to discuss something you may not expect – READING! Yes, the exciting world of literature!

Don’t skip this episode. Don’t move on to the next one in your playlist. I know this is not everyone’s favorite subject or hobby…but that’s why this is Winning Minds – our goal is to help you think, change, and grow by sharing what has helped others change, grow, and think. Today’s conversation, hopefully, will do just that for you.

I’ll offer an apology now - the audio from our conversation is a little “muddy” in the beginning, but about 5 minutes into the it we were able to make a change and fix it. You will notice a definite improvement in Danny’s audio.

Alright, that’s enough introduction. Thank you for listening to this episode – I just want you to know, Reading is LIT…. and I hope this contributes to your next winning decision.

This is part 2 of my conversation with Georgia Fay. If you haven’t heard part 1, you absolutely must go back and listen to it! In this episode we continue discussing what you and I allow into our lives. What food we consume, and what content we watch and listen to and how that affects our minds.

In our first episode, Georgia refers to a certain “gift” in her life: her mother… who battled with her own mental health. And today she graciously shares with us, certainly from her personal experiences, some simple yet very helpful advice on how to think about and approach this incredible challenge.

And then we close out discussing my own (and maybe yours too) developing thoughts about, and view of, people we may think are “crazy.” Let’s just say the stigma isn’t accurate or helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to Winning Minds. I hope you find this conversation valuable, and my goal is that it would contribute to your next winning decision.
