The Called Podcast

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who shared that although we're only a few weeks into 2024, he was having difficulty tapping into his goals. It dawned on me that when we start setting new goals without renewing our identity - we can find ourselves slipping back into old habits. Until we hone in on the type of person we need to become to reach new heights, we'll continually find ourselves sabotaging the dreams of our future selves. This week, I will be talking about The Mastery of Identity. You are more than you know. There is power in your mouth and your mind to launch you into all God has CALLED you to be. Every morning, I have disciplined myself to recite a 12-point identity statement that reminds me of who I am and the vision of my life. Today, my challenge to you is to create an identity statement, and I'll give you specific details about what your statement should include. Family, I want to encourage you to send me your statement, and I'll read it on an upcoming episode to stand in agreement with you. Don’t forget to share, rate, and review today.

At the beginning of a new year, many of us set out with intentions to achieve great things. However, we often forget to revisit our goals from the previous year to see if we accomplished them.

You were created to do something remarkable, and I want to give you some practical tips to help you reach the goals you've set for 2024. We must understand that there is a rhythm to setting and achieving goals. Where most successful people kick in - the average person taps out. Grab your pen and notepad because I'm going to share some insights I've learned along the way that have helped me attain my goals over the years.

Called Family! Last week, we discussed the importance of having a vision and pursuing it. This week, I will share some practical tips and tools to help you protect and prepare for the vision God has given you. To protect your vision there are two things you'll need to do. First, you must write it down. Second, you have to protect your mind by maintaining the highest thought. Preparing for your vision is different. It requires you to go deeper by asking yourself thought provoking questions. Because once you know the what and why of your vision, it's imperative you understand the how. Family, I'll also share a special announcement on today's episode that you don't want to miss, so stay tuned! Don’t forget to share, rate, and review today.

Before we get too far into 2024, I want to touch on a subject that can change the trajectory of your year. Today, we're going to be talking about vision. Nothing in life will move without a vision. And if you've been feeling stagnant or distracted - I challenge you to re-examine the vision you have for your life. In order to realize and actualize your vision, you must pursue it, protect it, and prepare for it. This week, I'll share some practical steps on how you posture yourself to pursue your vision and achieve your goals. Family, next week I'll be back to share how you protect and prepare for the vision God has given you. This season, we're going after all God has for us, and we won't stop until we obtain it.

Called Family! Let me start by saying I have missed you all tremendously. I was hoping to be back with you sooner, but in May I found myself hitting a wall and needed to take more time off than I anticipated. But I’m back to share some updates with you about where I’ve been, what’s been going on, and what I’ve learned along the way.

This week, I’ll be talking about the importance of purpose, pivots, and precision. We’re all limited resources, but when these three things work together, we’re able to get the most out of who we are called to be. I’ll touch on how disruption often keeps us from destruction and share the importance of maintaining flexibility in all areas of our lives.

Family, this will be the last episode of The Called Podcast for 2023, but I’ll be back at the top of 2024 and I’m looking forward to what we’ll continue to build.

As leaders, we should begin thinking about our exit plan in our company or organization the moment we enter into it. We've discussed the importance of attaining and retaining and this week, I’ll share the importance of builidng something that remains. I'll talk about exits, succession, and successors and give you tools to build a legacy guaranteed to last beyond you. 

This episode is the final episode of The Called Podcast for Season 1! Can you believe it? I hope you've learned some valuable lessons and strategies to help you become a better leader. We'll be back with some exciting new content and guests in September. Family, I love you and appreciate you. Thank you for all your support and feedback. Until next season, be sure to remember - you're not random, you're CALLED. 

Last week, we talked about the necessary tools that help us to attain the things we are CALLED to. If you missed pt. 1 of this conversation, stop what you’re doing now and go back to listen to it. This week, we’ll be building upon our discussion and focusing on how we retain our success after we have attained it. 

Retaining success necessitates a commitment to learning and an unwavering dedication to growth. It requires humility, teachability, and a willingness to extend yourself beyond where you are. Next week we’ll wrap up this series and touch on how we build something that remains after we have mastered the art of attaining and retaining. 

Family, this is our 21st episode of The Called Podcast! As we wrap up this series next week, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a summer break to brainstorm some exciting ideas and potential guests for Season 2. Be sure to connect with me and share your suggestions for who you would like to hear from and what topics you would like us to cover.

As leaders, we all have something unique that we are CALLED to lay hold of. This specific thing is usually big, notable, and frightening - but it is also the very thing that God has ordained us to do. To achieve it we must possess faith, boldness, an unbelievable work ethic, laser focus, and more. 

This week I’m beginning a 3-week series titled “The 3 Levels of Success”. In Week 1, I’ll be talking about how you attain success and will share some practical tools to help you master this first level. After you’ve attained success,  
I’ll be back to share how you retain it in order to build something that remains.

Family, we’ve officially made it to the second half of the year. This is a time where many leaders track the progress they’ve made and decide what needs to be restructured in order to meet their goals. While we check our profits and losses within our companies, it's imperative that we take a moment to assess whether or not we’ve been profitable within. 

This week I’m going to talk about “The Economy of Self”. Throughout this episode I’ll pose some insightful questions to help you evaluate the progress you’ve made internally. If you set aside time to answer these questions transparently, I believe you will receive fresh creativity, new innovation, and groundbreaking ideas that will propel you forward.
