091 - November Reflection

A look back on November’s conversations, highlighting my biggest takeaways from each. 085 - Ryan Huff – Addiction, Recovery and Self Love The difference between a normal person and an alcoholic or an addict is that normal people change their behaviors to meet their goals and alcoholics or addicts change their goals to meet their behavior. Being grateful for our past, in recovery 087 - Drew Hill – Strengthening the Youth Perseverance – “Almost to the top” – taking a break along the route to the top of Mount Everest and dying - it’s dangerous. 088 - LeLani Lei – Life is All About the People You Meet Being our authentic self and realizing that people love us for THAT. Life is about the relationships we make – it’s not about the money, or cars, or things. 089 - Stephen Santellana - Serving Others Through Leadership Powerful story of having a mental health breakdown just after his first child was born. Recognizing & managing stress. Be well spoken. Feeding our brain. 090 - Mike Battaglino – Stay the Course & Trust the Process Consistency – 10 years of recording his workouts, and still shows up as a student, humble and hungry. Man’s Search For Meaning. Reminded me that best way to learn is to teach (coaching, mentoring, etc.) Coming in December Matt Hadden, President of Pioneer Belts (General Leather Craft) some of the best lifting belts in the entire world that have been worn to set numerous world records. Made right here in Texas. Enrique Infante, Jr. – Strongman, Mike Battaglino’s training partner, US veteran. Fonda White former Wichita Falls Nighthawk who has been spreading positive information and sharing openly about his struggles with mental illness. He’s putting out some excellent content and seeking to make a difference in the lives of others.
