This is a quick snack-bite about the lenses we view the world through. Once a person understands what lenses are and can identify their own, that's when they can shape and mold it into something beneficial for them. We can intentionally impact the lenses we have and can gain, you'll learn a little bit about that through this episode. Questions to consider: What lenses do you typically view things through? What kind of information do you get from that? How impactful are those lenses for you? What lenses does your inner circle typically look through? What's the impact there? What kind of blinders do you notice when you think of the lens you use? Is that important information you're missing out on?

I have a new mantra that I came up with recently. It's quite possibly the strongest mindset I've ever had and I want to share in hopes that you find value in it as well.

I'm dropping my top 10 rules for success that I follow on a regular basis. The whole point of this list is to see what you hold yourself accountable to towards your own successes. If you're not feeling successful you should be able to point out parts of the list where you haven't done what you needed to, so then it's something you can make more intentional. I got thsi idea from seeing Eric Thomas' list on YouTube, follow the link here to watch that, I highly encourage it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6XgyFOIzdo

This is another informal episode to review my 2021, looking forward to 2022, and then setting up my New Year's Resolutions!

This episode captures those moments and memories we have throughout life that continue to have an impact on us moving forward. No matter how small the moment, it's something that I can still draw from and even sometimes gain a new perspective with as I have new experiences now. I'll get into a phrase that was said to me by a family member that has probably had the biggest impact on the drive that I have through life. Question wise I'm interested in what others still carry with them that they know is a piece of the puzzle to who they are as a person. This is all to recognize and be more aware of the impact our actions and words have on others.

The Importance of Student Voice This episode is about a huge realization I've had for myself that I didn't see until seeing it more in our students. I've realized how I'm an adapter. I'll explain exactly what that means. I'm also interested in hearing what things, good or bad, others experienced in their grade school experience that still impacts them today. More importantly, things people didn't realize still impacts them until they were older. Something I've learned through all of this is a different approach to people in that we should treat others the way we would want to be treated if we were in their exact situation. So more of an empathy approach rather than just a personal views approach.

A quick reminisce of last weekend at Bass Canyon. It was such an amazing experience. So much genuine love and appreciation was shared, I had to get this on. The next question "what's something you can tell me right now, in this moment? And a quick dig into my knowledge, I'll introduce you to something I call the brick wall theory. Enjoy!

This episode will present the format I'll be using moving forward in terms of how the episode is laid out. You'll get to hear about the move I'm making within the education field. I'll be tackling some changes I could make and I will make to improve my personal and professional life. Finally, a quick dig into my knowledge, I'll go over this idea I've thought about for a while and that I would present to my classes. I hope you enjoy it, even if you don't I appreciate the listen and would love your feedback.

At last, I have started my podcast. This first episode covers the point of the podcast as well as a brief intro about who I am as a person.
