The Mindset Mountain Podcast

“IT’S AMAZING HOW FAR YOU CAN GO WHEN SOMEONE BELIEVES IN YOU”~~Jason MacKenzie Through what lens are you looking through? Some of us have had our perspectives altered throughout time, and through time the lens which we view our lives and purpose have become clouded. That which seems clear, becomes unclear. That which was once understood becomes questionable as our vision and sight towards the world strays away from that which we’v...

“We should not fear an obsession for building a great and free life…..vision trumps reality; dreams have more weight than circumstances because circumstances are alterable with enough sweat and toil and dedication.”~~Brendon Burchard ‘The Motivation Manifesto’ As I was looking for something to speak upon, I opened up to the first part of the quote above. As I skimmed through the remainder of the book to see what I highlighted that ...

  (Photo credit: MidAtlantic Photography) If I Can…You Cantu! Some of us have simple goals! Some of us have huge goals! Truth is, what if your main goal is something that you never envisioned yourself putting on top of a list……at least until your life has drastically changed. Our inspiring guest has not always been so inspiring. Due to a life altering accident while this young lady was in her teens, Vanessa Cantu never envisioned l...

 Just Don’t Stop. And maybe just be too damn ignorant to quit! In this latest solo shot of The Mindset Mountain Podcast, I go into a pretty tough topic for anyone who is pursuing a dream.  Something outside the norm. It has to do with the finding yourself pushed to your limits… at the very edge of a cliff of uncertainty and fear… wondering if you can keep standing. Especially when you’re feeling as if you’ve done all that you can s...

Destroying The Poverty Mindset! “Playing it safe is not commendable, avoiding risk is not to be rewarded, and living out of fear of what others will think–with their approval and disapproval–should not be what motivates us!”~~T.D. Jakes (He-Motions) The above quote from one of my favorite book, ‘He-Motions’, is in reference to Mathew 25:14-29. Whether you follow the Bible or not, this should hold true no matter how you look at life...

Recognition of divine gifts of timing.  This ability to focus on the supposed “coincidences” of our lives is what can separate us from the false beliefs of our past. Respecting and honoring your signs allows us all to tap back into a divine certainty that we all seek on a daily basis. In this latest solo shot episode, I dig into a variety of “signs” that showed up in my own life that all served a purpose.  A purpose to let go of ce...

“Most our misfortunes spring from not knowing how to live quietly at home, in our own rooms”~~ Pascal This morning I was sifting through the book “Spellbinders Gift” by Og Mandino and found the highlighted quote. Not only did it trigger some meaning, it related to a question I was asked by a future guest for this podcast. “Are You A Christian?”, I was asked. “Yes” I responded. The reason I was asked this question was in relation to...

Stats & Sculpture… are you using your stats as the hammer and chisel to carve your masterpiece?  Well let’s find out in this latest solo shot episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast. This thought of stats and sculpting popped into my head randomly last Friday morning while on my drive.  And it really forced me to take a deep dive into not only my past… but also how to better leverage criticism and feedback for the here and now. In ...

Two Sides Of The Same Coin! Whenever we look at our fears, many of us ask the question of  “What If?”. In this question, we tend to lean towards a certain aspect for the answer which is geared toward the negative aspect of the mystery. What If I Fail? What If I’m Judged? What If I’m Wrong? And the list goes on and on, right? Well, there is more to the coin than just the flipside which we fail to recognize. Yes, there is a flipside ...

  Embracing your weakness… seems pretty backwards right? Why would you ever want to embrace your weakness?  It’s all about building up your strength right?  Well in this solo shot episode I share a unique perspective I just applied in 2 key areas of my life where becoming closed friends with my weakness will give me power. You see I discovered that by continuing to fight extremely hard against these mindsets that were not my streng...

“My job isn’t to make others and myself comfortable. My job is to use language which reflects most accurately what we’re experiencing.”~~Brene’ Brown The above quote came to me at a perfect time as I’ve battled how to speak. In my book which is based upon the effects of suicide, overcoming a loss to suicide, or seeking closure after such an incident, I’ve battled how to share my thoughts and views. Do I speak and write how I know I...

So hey… I’m back with the very first solo shot episode since Eddie and I relaunched the podcast.  I recorded this episode this morning of August 16, 2017 while sitting in my car on the side of the road. But I didn’t want to speak the words that were rattling around my head and heart. All I wanted to to do was rely on my J-Boom energy, speak out some inspired fire phrases or maybe quote one of my favorite personal development mentor...

If It’s Important Enough….You Will Come Back To It, Or It Will Come Back To You: REBIRTH!! In this episode you will find out a little about the break we’ve taken with the “Mindset Mountain Podcast”!! There are times in life in which we take a step back. One decides to pay attention to the emphasis one puts on what they say is important to them, and one’s actions or lack of will provide the answer. There was a point in time which we...

Heeding the Call at 3 a.m. with Edward Aguilar 3 a.m. in the morning… sometimes even 2 a.m. Those are the pitch black hours of the mornings that have been calling for Edward Aguilar… and he’s been listening. In this recent interview, I sat down with my co-host Eddie Aguilar to ask him some pressing questions on his current focus in life… his book. As you’ll discover in this interview, this is no ordinary book project.  It is someth...

Are you dictating what you deserve in life?  Or are you simply settling for a system that’s been broken for years?  Well our latest powerful guest Adam Kraai is creating a legacy of security, success and financial freedom for his clients. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Adam Kraai face to face at a kick ass marketing event last year called Meltdown in the Desert.  On the night of the meet and greet, I had the chance to chat ...

Allowing Light Into Your Darkness! When we are fully engulfed in the darkness of the still shots which we call our life, we tend to miss some of the obvious. Our attention goes towards our focus, and natural selection of our focus goes towards the negative. You were let go from your job, but you hated your job anyways! You’re relationship has come to an end, but you know damn well your relationship was toxic! What you see as a dark...

Moments Of Now Creating Moments Of Next! These above words hit hard with me as this is something that I’ve recognized with myself a long time ago, as well as something that is more common than we realize. Too many of us are disconnected from today and worried about tomorrow, but when tomorrow arrives, we aren’t present in the present. As our guest Jarred Smith shares his story, he shares an important message: “We can choose who to ...

Coincidence or divine timing?  Happy accident or fate? There are a variety of moments in our lives where it seems things match up so perfectly that it freaks us out as well as lighting our souls on fire. And it always seems our instinct is to lay it all at the hands of “oh it’s just a coincidence” that happened.  We seemingly don’t wish to entertain the thought that it happened for a reason or was lined up for our benefit. In this ...
