Episodes

  1. Sense of Adventure

    Have we lost our sense of Adventure? Are we so afraid of dying that we are no longer willing to live?

  2. 2020 - A Lesson For Us All

    With the craziness that is 2020, is there a lesson for us all? Is it trying to teach us all something about life? Should we continue to live in fear or should we live life to the fullest?

  3. Give Up or Get Up

    Today I’m talking about hitting the curveballs that life throws at you.

  4. Stop Overreacting

    If we spent half as much thought and energy initiating change as we spend reacting to bullshit, we would probably have ended world hunger a long time ago...solved all economic crises...and even ended pollution...but it’s easier to react than to initiate so on and on it goes.

  5. Who Is Going To Stop You

    My parents used to ask me this question all the time growing up and I used to think “what a dumb question?” Because the answer was simple, nobody. Turns out they just had a dumb student because the answer isn’t that simple. It’s much more complex.

  6. Being The Best Is Hard Work

    In this episode, I’m talking about a new book that I’ve been reading and working through along with where I am on my journey to my dreams. Where are you going?

  7. Work The Plan

    Sometimes it’s hard for us to really keep on the path to our dreams because we aren’t seeing the progress we hoped for. It’s slow moving and even seems motionless at times but keep moving. Don’t stop. Don’t quit. Work The Plan.

  8. We Are NOT Meant to Be Alone

    We have fallen for a myth in our culture that we don’t need others. We don’t need a partner. We don’t need a community. We don’t need a team. We are all we need. And it’s total BULLSHIT!

  9. Why America Is Getting Fat

    Taking about food and diet and eating and it’s probably not what you think.

  10. The Journey of 1000 Miles...

    Still dreading Mondays? What are you doing about it? Today I talk about the book “Do It Scared.” I talked about how you need to define your fear before you can face it. This book helps you do that. It did that for me and now I’m working through it. I have a plan to beat that fear.

  11. Know Thyself...Living Healthy

    I’m talking about living healthy. I know. It sounds crazy from me but some old dogs learn new tricks. The first step in living healthy is knowing yourself. Who are you? What’s your body type? How should you eat? What workout will work best for you?

  12. Stress Kills

    Men. Talking about stress and health and the many issues that stress can cause. Just because you don’t “feel” stress doesn’t mean you aren’t stressed. Pay attention to your body and take care of yourself.

  13. Coming Out!

    It starts with saying your going to do it. The first step is making that commitment. Today I’m making that commitment to make my dream a reality and I’m going to take you in the journey with me. I’m going to share the ups and downs. The wins and losses. The steps I take. The emotions I feel and…

  14. Christmas in July

    The year is half over. What are you doing with the rest of 2019?

  15. Problems vs. Solutions

    The Coach coming to you in straight talk Saturday discussing our macabre desire to create problems instead of solutions.

  16. Home Field Advantage - Putting Advice To Work

    Advice comes at us from all directions. Some of it is terrible advice and should not even be listened to other than to know what not to do. But, a lot of good advice comes at us too. The issue is how to put that good advice to work for you in a dynamic relationship. Your not fixing a car window...

  17. Grow Into Your Dreams

    Still talking about taking action to make Monday the best day of the week. Comparing the pursuit of your dreams to growing a bonsai. Yeah. My brain is kind of crazy.

  18. Dugout Discussion with Rob Blomstrom - Real Genius Part Two

    In this episode of Dugout Discussions, I'm talking tech. Rob has started his own tech business to help people build a "future proof" house and get the most out of your tech. We talk about wires. We talk about wireless. We talk about bandwidth and servers and phones and streaming video and...

  19. Home Field Advantage - Bad Advisors

    Who do you talk to for relationship advice? So many of us go to the wrong advisors. We talk to our broke friends about money. We talk to chronic employees about becoming an entrepreneur. We talk to people who've never led about leadership, and we talk to our crazy aunt whose been divorced 6 times...

  20. Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

    Today I’m talking about the time vortex that seems to exist around fun, around the things you love to do, around the people you love to hang out with, around your passions. I encourage you to find that thing and pursue it.

  21. Dugout Discussions with Ed Hamilton - Business, Bourbon, and Bullshit

    In this episode of Dugout Discussions, I'm talking with serial entrepreneur Ed Hamilton. We talk about his many adventures in business. We talk about sales. We talk about women. We talk about bugs. We talk about dads. And we even bullshit some.

  22. Home Field Advantage - The Perfect Age

    As someone who has been to Disney World about 15 times, I always get asked what the perfect age is to bring your kids. Well, I answer that question right here. Turns out that it might not be about what your kids remember as much as it is about what you remember.

  23. Kickass Monday

    No more Mondays. This is the day you change your life. You no longer dread Mondays. Instead you look forward to them because it’s another week that you get to make your dreams a reality. Today you plant the seed for your future.

  24. Home Field Advantage - In The Beginning

    Welcome to my new segment, The Home Field Advantage. In this segment of The 7th Inning Stretch, I'll be talking family. I have one, so I must be an expert. Actually, I've been married for over 25 years to my high school sweetheart. We have three children who are mostly grown at this point, and…

  25. Dugout Discussions with Maria Perez - The Salsa Queen

    In this episode of Dugout Discussions, I'm talking with Maria Perez, The Salsa Queen. We are talking about how she got into the salsa business, and some of the challenges of building a food based business and a brand. While she doesn't share the family recipe (and it is good), she does share a...

  26. The Circle of Life

    Today I’m talking about new beginnings. Life comes at us pretty quick and changes even quicker. But eventually we get to a point where changes are no longer “happening.” We have to make them happen or we kind of die while we’re still alive.

  27. Help Someone If You Can

    I recently had two neighbors help me tremendously. It may not seem like a big deal to them or even to others but for me it’s a big deal. Particularly because they offered to help. So help someone if you can. You don’t know what kind of difference it will make in their life.

  28. Dugout Discussion with Jim Coates - Waynes World Meets Youngstown

    In this episode of Dugout Discussions, I am talking with long time family friend, who just happens to be from the same town in Ohio as me. He talk about all kinds of stuff including changes in small town America, college, student loans, and the fact that the reason politicians seem to flock to...

  29. Enjoy The Journey

    Fun is not out there somewhere waiting for you to go find it. Fun is something you either have or do not have. So I encourage you to have some fun and learn to enjoy the journey.

  30. Why This...Why Now

    Life changes can come at us fast and from many directions. Sometimes change is forced upon us and sometimes we make it happen. But we either evolve or become extinct.

  31. The Secret...

    Yes. I’ve said many times that there is no secret to success and as you probably have suspected, I’ve been lying to you. Today I’m going to share that secret.

  32. Dugout Discussion with Rosalind Broome - Making of a CEO

    In episdoe 6 of Dugout Discussiont with the Coach, I'm talking to Rosalind Broome. Ros was one of my very first professional coaching experiments...uh experiences...She was born to be in charge.

  33. The Art of Communication

    Today my daily desk calendar had a wonderful quote about choosing your words economically. It was saying that communicating your message in the best way possible is often the shortest way possible.

  34. Find the Nuggets

    Too often we go looking for a gold mine only to find out that it requires a lot of investment when what we need to be looking for is those Nuggets of Information just waiting to be picked up.

  35. It’s Your Life...Live It

    Fear comes at us from all directions and attacks us at our weakest point...our ego. We don’t do things we want to do, wish we could do, or even know we should do because we are scared of what someone else might think.

  36. Dugout Discussion with Kevin Wolff - A Real Life Tony Stark

    In episode 5 of Dugout Discussions, I'm talking with long time friend Kevin Wolff. He is the founder & owner of Wolff Engineering.

  37. Macro vs Micro...We Are All Alike

    We have more in common with each other than we think or believe. If we look to our similarities as bridge builders, then we can look to our differences as strength builders.

  38. CELEBRATE Your Wins

    Today I’m celebrating the release of my new book and the 50th episode of the 7th Inning Stretch. Celebrate Your Wins. It encourages you to win again and to win bigger. So take some time with each win big or small and celebrate it. Then watch the Wins pile up.

  39. REST!!

    It’s easy to get caught up in the grind. If we aren’t careful though, the grind will chew us up. We need rest. We need to take a break. Listen to your mind and your body and rest when it tells you.

  40. Dugout Discussions with Gary Dennis - Data Breach

    In episode 4 of Dugout Discussions with The Coach, I'm talking with Gary Dennis. He recently started a Management Consulting business specializing in digital marketing and data analysis. We talk about the challenges of starting a business from scratch with a young family. We talk business. We…

  41. Lose and Learn

    We are conditioned from a very early age to avoid failure, yet failure is the best teacher. Losing teaches you way more than winning. It’s impossible to know what hot means until you get burned.

  42. Finding Purpose

    Too often we get stuck in a rut of just doing stuff. We lose sight of why we do stuff and we end up living a life without purpose. Purpose drives us. It gives us a reason to keep going, to fight, to live. Purpose matters. Find yours.

  43. Get Moving...

    If you have ever driven a car without power steering, you know how much easier it is to turn it while it’s in motion than when it’s come to a complete stop. The same is true with life. It’s so much easier to Get Moving and make course corrections as necessary than it is to just sit and wait for…

  45. Servant Leaders Go Last

    This is one of the hardest things about being a leader. Putting the needs of others ahead of yourself.

  46. Servant Leaders Equip People

    As a leader, it’s up to us to ensure that people have the right tools to get the job done. Sometimes our resources determine the tools we have to use so our expectations need to be adjusted accordingly.

  47. Servant Leaders Advocate for People

    Servant Leaders fight for people. Putting people first means providing them a safe place to work and live. It means doing what’s right for people regardless of the cost or backlash.

  48. Dugout Discussions with The Coach Episode 2 - The Neumanns

    In this episode, I'm chatting with an old friend and her husband about real life drama. Marriage...Running a law firm together...TRIPLETS! Join us as, we discuss real life, real problems, and real love.

  49. Servant Leaders Prepare People

    Servant Leaders ensure that people are getting the training, coaching and other development resources that they need. They ensure that people are ready to do the tasks ahead of them and prepared to win. I love the way the US Marines put it “The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in...

  50. Servant Leaders Provide Counsel

    If you’re going to put People First, then sometimes you have to deal with people problems. People will need Counsel and yes as a leader you need to provide it. It’s what we do.
