12feetdeep

by Aaron Dumas

An ordinary guy with BIG dreams. I’m an actor who play characters for a living, but who am I beneath the characters I play? Who am I as a human? In this podcast, I pull backthe curtain and get raw, truthful and DEEP into exploring ourselves and the human condition. We discuss topics such as growth, personal development and truths that we need to hear and things that are “uncomfortable” to talk about. My mission is to help shine a light and bring more awareness to the mind body and spirit so that we can evolve into the best version of ourselves and leave this world a better place.

Episodes

  1. The In-Between Season — Outgrowing Your Old Life Before Your New One Exists

    There’s a phase of life nobody really prepares you for — the moment when your current life still works… but it no longer feels like your future. In this episode, I talk about what I call the in-between season — the uncomfortable space between who you were and who you’re becoming. If you’ve been...

  2. THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED ME

    Every man remembers the moment that reshaped him. This episode uncovers the event that shattered my old life and forced me to rebuild from the ground up. No filters. No ego. Just the truth. This is where my journey begins

  3. Give Yourself More Grace

    We all can be hard on ourselves during the challenging times of life, but if we can learn to give ourselves more grace we can reset and build ourselves from there.

  4. Embrace the beautiful chaos of life

    Life is hard as we know it. There will be many distractions that will deviate us and take us off track towards our goals and dreams. What we must do is reroute and embrace that chaos by finding that inner peace. We do that by silencing what doesn’t add value to us anymore. Take back our power by...

  5. Your Stories Matter

    Stories matter People matter Share your story because each and everyone one of us has a story to tell that is unique to us! Don’t wait, start now! Share something with your local barista. A stranger. Your uber driver. Together we can be more inspired if we simply just shared.

  6. It’s never too late to reinvent yourself

    No matter what age or where you are at in life, it’s never to late to reinvent yourself whether if it’s in health fitness or your career. Also, be a little more curious about others. We all have a story to share.

  7. You like what you like

    When you express what you like and stand true to that you are expressing your true self. When you are masking reshaping what you like just to conform to people you are trying to please, that is not the true you.

  8. Have faith and trust the process. Ep5/5

    Have faith. Build community of like minded people. Most of all pray to have more courage to keep going. It is a lonely path, but along the way you will meet people who have a dream a goal just like you. Your job is not to shrink yourself, your job is to expand self and have others support you and...

  9. Everything is temporary. Ep4/5

    Eveything in life is temporary. The wins the losses the pain. Keep pushing keep moving forward. When you do win, celebrate but for 24hrs. When those 24 hours are up. Those wins are irrelevant the next day. The new day is another opportunity to win. We will lose more than we win, that is why we…

  10. Use your 20s to build Ep.1

    If I had to go back to my 20s I would use that time to build me into the best version of myself. Your 20s need to be spent using your time and resources into chasing your goals and dreams. Not wasting that time on chasing girls, partying, drinking and doing drugs and trying to “BE COOL”.

  11. Nobody is gonna hand you an opportunity. Ep3/5

    You must force and will yourself into opportunities! No one is gonna hand you an opportunity you must go out and seize them. There are opportunities right in front of us everyday but we must be aware of them by remaining open self aware. We get what we focus on.

  12. What do you want to be remembered for? Ep2/5

    Truth is - we are all going to die. What do you want to be remembered for? Our time in this life is only for a brief passing. We are time travelers, small specks of dust. We are all going to be forgotten, but it’s the impact we make in the world that is going to make the difference and leave the...

  13. W’s Cure You

  14. Hard Path is the ONLY path

    Life is hard. You just have to build yourself into embracing the hard and making yourself tougher in mind body and spirit. On the pursuit towards your goals and dreams in whatever it might be, it’s in the HARD choices that you will be better off taking. In the HARD you will discover your truest…

  15. Money is a transfer of energy

    Does having money make us feel good? If we are operating out of abundance we are using money to transfer energy to invest in bettering our life. If we are operating out of scarcity, than we are using that money to transfer energy into destroying our lives without even knowing it (drugs, alcohol,...

  16. Master Thy Self

    The plan we need to master is OUR PLAN. OURSELVES. Master your daily habits and you will master your life.

    Give yourself Grace more. Your inner dialogue matters more than you think

  19. Keep it simple

    Success is simple. It really is that. It’s doing the small things committing to that over the long run to transform your life. There is no secret formula. Just embracing the hard and doing the work. Simple as that!

  20. Build the best you and give that person to the world

    We all have a choice. To live in the dark with the devil or to evolve out of the dark and see the light and walk gods path. It is our duty responsibility and obligation to be the best we can be to leave this place better than how we found it. Work on being pursuit of your best self each day. This...

  21. How to Be a Person of Influence

    In my opinion and by doing the work, you will become influential when you do the WORK and commit to it day and day out.

  22. Boundaries = your truth

    We have to communicate our boundaries with people. Our boundaries express our truth.

  23. Free your inner child

    Truth is we are all children at heart. We are most free when we are being our child like selves. Children operate from their imaginations and create. As we grow up we encounter trauma, experiences, pain, uncertainty, suffering that may put a lid and seal our “child self”. If we don’t heal that...

  24. People are truly gods gifts

  29. 2 ears, 1 mouth

    We simply need to listen more than we speak. We were all created with 2 ears and 1 mouth. We are in a constant rush to get our ideas out, share our thoughts, and or we interrupt each other and we rob ourselves of the gift of living in the present moment. Give others the gift of simply BEING with...

  30. Mindset + Habits = Energy

    The human mind designed to look for ways to be more efificient thus saving energy. We do that by creating habits. Either those habits are serving you = creating more energy and or saving energy or forming bad habits = draining our energy If we are focusing on the wrong things, mindless things,...

  31. Your word is everything

    Your word is your bond. Words have weight and what we say matter. These days I feel, people just say words to say them, but there is no intention behind them, merely words with no impact. We are Soo caught up in this “busy life” that we go through the motions “drive by” talk Iike to call it or...

  32. Curiosity

    Curiosity is the root and foundation of connection. I believe we need to rekindle our child like curiosity and ask questions like children do.

  33. CONNECT

    We were all created to connect to others in some way. Give yourself the gift to connect with someone new. Expand your mind. We are all energy living in a physical state. Follow that energy to connect with others. Your body always knows what to do not your head.

  34. Who do you associate yourself with?

    Are you the only one in your circle who wants to win? Well, I think it’s time to audit your circle. Who do you hang out with? What music do you listen to? What podcast do you listen to? What books do you read? What movies do you watch? Who do you have conversations with? If you have big dreams…
