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 feeling restless at work, quietly building new goals, or sensing that your ambitions have outgrown your current reality, this conversation is for you.⸻In this episode we talk about:• Why this phase feels so uncomfortable• The three biggest mistakes people make during transitions• How to build the runway while still on the job• The emotional reality of outgrowing your old life• Why feeling stuck can actually mean you’re growing⸻If this episode resonated:Share it with someone in their own in-between season.

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

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.

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 doing what we are avoiding. Take a moment to JUST BE. FEEL what you feel. SIT IN IT. Let it pass. Find the peace in that chaos by embracing it and learning to overcome that by being aware of when you feel that “chaos” coming to the surface. Want to connect? Follow me on IG: @therealaarondumas

Stories matter People matterShare 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.

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.

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.

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 root for you to be the best YOU. Lastly, if you have god jn your corner you cannot lose .He puts challenges adversity on your path because he wants you to suffer so that you can BUILD YOU into a stronger version to be able to step into the door your suppose to walk into

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 must keep pushing and stack as many wins by focusing on winning the day by controlling what we can control. Our habits: Read 10 pagesOur dietWork out Drink water No alcohol/drugs Focus on winning the day and you will begin to build momentum and self confidence to build yourself into the best version of yourself

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”.

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.

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 world a better place than when we found it. Take the time to really reflect on - “what do you want to be remembered for”

The W’s cure you.The wins cure our temporary pain of this journey called life. We were all born to win and to be great. The small wins compound into the bigger wins. Start creating habits TODAY that help you to win in your life. To connect please follow me on my social media:IG: @therealaarondumas [email protected]

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 and best self! The hard path is the only way! Connect with me: IG | @therealaarondumas Let’s get you right. I got you.

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, porn, vices) Money is simply a transfer of energy.

The plan we need to master is OUR PLAN. OURSELVES. Master your daily habits and you will master your life. Each day we are blessed enough to wake up it is another opportunity to “graduate” to your better self. It never stops and we keep growing or we fall back. If you find it within yourself to face the truth the answers all lie within you. What you must do from there is recreate habits that serve you and not destroy you. Master the plan. Your plan. Let’s get it 💪🏻

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

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!

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 is the only way to serve god and make him happy.

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.

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

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 inner child he/she will be trapped forever and that can carry into adulthood. Give yourself permission to be a child again. Create imagine and visualize. We were all born to create and be children of god.

Today I got inspired to do this personal episode from a friend of mine and colleague who is leaving to pursue bigger and better opportunities. I worked with him for 5 years in healthcare on the supply chain side. We went through navigating the challenges of Covid together and other adversities and uncertainties. We fought in the trenches together. That said, As much as I’m sad to see him leave, I’m happy for him and rooting for his success. He inspires me to keep going and chasing my dreams. I share this story because people are truly gods gifts. Matthew is gods gift. I dedicate this episode to you brother. Thank you for making such a tremendous positive impact in my life. I will never forget you. Love ya brother.

In today’s episode I share my story of writing my first full length screenplay an action/crime/thriller. About a year ago it was just an idea and a vision me and my friend spoke about. From there I wrote the idea down, mapped out a plan, and just started. Chipped away at it each day for about 2 months and completed the first draft. One year I decided to enter it in a few festivals. Got rejected. Here I’am today sharing with you I got into one of the prestigious festivals in the world The Beverly Hills Film Festival. Trust in god, have faith, trust his plan and take action. Grateful for the journey. You can do it too! You were born to do something great with your life.

You are never too old to start a journey. Be it health and fitness journey which I’m going to talk about today. I was at work today. I work in healthcare and there is this nurse assistant extremely nice, kind wonderful gentlemen who always gives me compliments. Today he said “I want to look like you bro”. I told him, you can just start now. His response, “I’m too old”. We spoke for about 5 more min and gave him some advice on getting started and taking small action steps to get momentum going.

I’m todays episode I talk about embracing you. Being grateful for your physical appearance. God created you perfect in his eyes and we all were born to serve a purpose. There is always someone out there who wishes they had what you have. Be grateful.

First episode of 2025. We experienced tragedy here in Los Angeles. I share my viewpoints on my current state and how we can rebuild. Also, it is amazing time to be alive as we enter “the golden age” with hope for our american people.

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 someone just by listening to someone and watch the magic unfold. In a busy, fast paced world, people just want to be seen and heard.

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, things that are out of our control we are draining our energy without even knowing subconsciously. Then we ask ourselves why the fuck am I soo tired. We GET what we focus on

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 automatic talk. We just say something to respond or talk but we aren’t aware of what we are saying. Words matter more than ever, especially in this current time.

Curiosity is the root and foundation of connection. I believe we need to rekindle our child like curiosity and ask questions like children do. In this present time, we are all distracted by our phones and or focused on the “future” or getting to our “destination”. Instead be curious of living in the present and observe yourself and your environment and other people if you’re out and about.

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.

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 and goals it is important to surround yourself around like minded people because it takes massive amounts of energy to gain any momentum towards building our dream life. So pay close attention to what you pay attention to and most of all who you surround yourself with.

It will always be about the work. We were all created to build something. To create. To be in pursuit of a mission a purpose. Whatever it may be find something that fires you up. Even if you work a 9 to 5 job, create something after work that fulfills you. We were all meant to build and grow. Be the builder!

Everyone in this world is a gift. How powerful would it be to ask the question, “What is your story?” To a stranger or maybe to a close friend or family member. Life is all about stories. We share our experiences with the barista at the coffee shop, to maybe a random person, or a trusted close friend. The world needs to hear your story. Please share it because there is someone out there looking to you for help or for inspiration.

Todays episode is about taking action. Whether it’s towards your goals, dreams, losing weight, building muscle, writing a script, anything. Sometimes we have this idea and maybe a fascination of waiting until we get all the information in order to take action. Some may call it “analysis paralysis”. Doing that robs you from the gift of learning and most of all wasting time and valuable opportunity. We may wait until we know everything to take action. But the real thing to do is to take action when we aren’t ready and when we don’t know what to do and figuring it out as we go. There is no such thing as perfection. Imperfect action triumphs over taking no action. So roll up your sleeves, get in the arena and get messy. The only way to get in the game is to start getting punched in the face.

It is just a few more days until Christmas in 2023. In this short holiday episode I talk about “staying true to you”. What do I mean by that? It is following through with what you say you’re going to do and aligning with what your values are and using those values to take action. Only we will know when we are aligned and misaligned with our truth. The new year is around the corner and we must make use of our time NOW to do the things we always wanted to do in our life. Whether that be reaching new health goals, wealth goals, finding love, or happiness and fulfillment. The foundation is staying true to you and looking at yourself in the mirror and asking yourself “what do I really want”? If you have any questions/suggestions we be more than happy to hear from you!

In this episode I share my experience and observations when I was in NYC and how being there helped me to have a mindset shift into accessing a different “layer” of myself that was aching to come out. Also, me and James talk about the importance of connection with yourself and people and just being real and authentic.

In this first episode we talk about how we both met on set while filming. How we cultivated that friendship/relationship. How the craft of acting has taught us how to be more aware in how we live our everyday lives. The importance of surrounding yourself around people who align with you, challenge you and want to see you grow into your best self.

In this short segment I introduce to the world who is Aaron Dumas
