Extraordinary Joes
by Bryan Hendley
A podcast for the Ordinary Joe. Podcasts with celebrities, princes, models, and the greatest minds of our time are great. But sometimes, maybe you'd like to hear from someone that you can actually relate to. The Extraordinary Joes podcast will sit down with ordinary folks: small business owners, yoga instructors, coffee shop managers, cancer survivors, life coaches, ultra marathoners, comedians, authors, and more. These are the types of people that might be your neighbor, friend, or someone you might admire in your community. Hopefully, you'll learn that extraordinary isn't too far out of reach, after hearing from ordinary folks, just like you and me.

Sometimes it's worth a pause to ask ourselves, "What's this going to cost, and am I willing to pay it?" If not, no sweat, move on with the understanding that you recognized what it was going to take, and weren't willing to pay the cost for it right now. If so, move on with the understanding that...

Cup of Joe: When You Can't Make The Music, Make Some Noise
We won't always be at our best. The conditions won't always be optimal. We'll be sore, tired, or outmatched from time to time. In these instances, we can't make the "music", meaning, we won't be performing as well, as beautifully, or in the optimal state of flow that we might desire. But, we can...

...we fill in the gaps. Pay attention to this on both sides. 1) Know that you are likely filling in some gaps or making some assumptions, when dealing with others, when you don't have all of the facts. * The best way to get the facts, is to ask. Pay attention to when you are assuming the truth.…

-
Cup of Joe: The Poop & The Pony
