Do Something Podcast Do Something

On this episode of the Do Something Podcast we are joined by Will and Maria Bales, parents of Nick Bales. Nick started Brought to Reality (BTR) in 2016 while he was a sophomore at Arapahoe High School near Denver, Colorado. Nick suffered from anxiety and depression, and focusing on BTR enabled him to be creative, keep busy, and stay grounded in reality. Through his brand, Nick sought to bring awareness to teen mental health and to end the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Nick strived to encourage compassion among his peers. In his college essay, Nick wrote: “We should all help each other get through the difficult times.” Unfortunately, Nick did not have the opportunity to apply to college because he lost his battle against mental illness on September 29, 2018.

Today his legacy continues through his parents who joined us on the podcast to share his story.

It may seem intimidating to work towards your goals, but clearly defining your goals is the first step to building a roadmap to actually achieving them. In this episode we talk about the importance of understanding where you currently are in life in order to know where you are going. Lastly, we talk about why it is so important to keep track of your progress and why you should check up on yourself regularly. We are still partaking in our 1% journey and we would love for you to join us! Thank you for listening to our podcast! We appreciate any feedback!  



🎙️What is the Do Something Podcast?

We believe that every person has the ability to do something great. People often have the desire but lack the tools or motivation to reach their potential. We created this podcast to help inspire others to take the first step (1%) towards their own personal goal. We believe that by taking the first step, and encouraging others to do the same, we are able to foster a world of innovators, creatives, and go-getters.

We’re back with a new episode on the podcast and what’s a better way to start off an episode than to put on a little skit about getting fired from work for feeding a co-workers cat some chocolate… 👀🤭⁣

⁣We created this episode because we often include ideas on our podcast on how to use positivity to our benefit, but can you cross the line and become too positive?⁣ ⁣

Throughout this episode we discover the importance of letting ourselves feel all your emotions, being true to ourselves when life gets difficult, and the importance of facing our emotions head on.⁣

⁣We hope you enjoy this month's episode!⁣

What are the most common things people regret at the end of their lives? Is it spending more time with a loved one? Wishing you were a better friend to someone? Wising they had lived out their dream? All these questions are things that people think about when they near the end of their lives but why? Is it not important to keep these questions in mind all throughout life and not only when we near our death? As young adults we also have regrets but most of those times, those regrets are more short and not long-term (i.e. I regret not going to this party or buying this stock). In this episode we will talk about the importance of living by the mantra "Carpe Diem" or "Seize the Day" and the importance of living each day like it were your last and setting up the foundation of a life with no regrets.

Self-confidence can be very hard to build, but once you are confident in yourself nothing can stop you. Don’t compare yourself to others, be aware of your confidence, set the same standards for yourself that you set for others, and build a community that will support your confidence. Episode three of season two is about what confidence looks like and how to obtain it. We discuss the topic of confidence by sharing personal experiences and relatable stories. We hope this talk inspires others to better themselves to get the most out of life. We are still partaking in our 1% journey and we would love for you to join us!
