    When THINGS Get HEAVY

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a moment, a morning, or longer that you just can't get your hands or head around some HEAVINESS that hit you?  Yeah, me too... There are moments in life that don’t feel dramatic enough to explain...but they still hurt.  A strange silence in the house, a hard conversation that replays in your head all day, a morning where everything seems difficult before you even get out of bed, or maybe just a season where nothing is technically wrong...but nothing feels right either. Join Dave for some lightening talk about: 10 Situations That Commonly Create Angst, Anxiety, or Depression10 Things To Consider During Difficult Seasons5 Things Life Often Tells You Instead5 Ways To Embrace Difficult Seasons5 Ways To Make The Peaks Higher And The Valleys Less DeepThere is a strange peace that comes with experience. You’ve survived things you once thought would destroy you. And maybe that is one of the greatest forms of confidence a human being can possess. If you are in a difficult season right now, hear this clearly: You are not broken because life feels heavy. You are human. The goal is not to avoid every storm. The goal is to become the kind of person who remembers that storms pass. Because they do. And one day, often when you least expect it, you’ll laugh again, breathe easier again, feel hope again, and realize you made it through something that once felt impossible.

    D-I-V-O-R-C-E: Then END Is Really The BEGINNING

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a major life event happen and it looked like the end of something?  Yeah, me too... Over the past year, have received a ton of emails, text messages, and private conversations about one subject more than any other. "Dave...when are you going to talk about your divorce?" Some people have simply been curious. Others have quietly shared that they're going through one themselves. Join Dave for some candid conversation including: A Little PerspectiveDIVORCE - Then and NowThe Five Toughest PartsGray DivorceTen Gifts I Never ExpectedFive Ways Divorce Can Really Be a BeginningFive Ways to Respond to Major Life ChangesIf Someone You Love Is Going Through a DivorceI no longer wish for the life I thought I wanted. I'm grateful for the life I'm living. My appreciation for ordinary days is greater. I've learned that new beginnings don't ask for permission...They simply invite us to step forward. So if you're walking through divorce today...Or walking beside someone who is...Don't lose hope. The end of a marriage does not have to become the end of joy. Be good to yourself. Encourage someone. And remember...The best chapters of your life may be the ones you never planned to write.

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been frustrated to the point you didn't know what to do next?  Yeah, me too...

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever known anyone that focuses more on what's missing than what they have?  Yeah, me too...

    SEEDS: FIVE More Lessons From PAPO

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever thought you were being taught something, but then realized the LESSON you learned was much more important?  Yeah, me too... When I was a little boy, I thought I was learning how to farm...turns out, I was learning how to live. Join Dave from some nostalgic reflection about: Sometimes You Have to Give the Seed a ChanceThe Meanest Mule Isn't Always the Worst WorkerEverybody Knows Everybody's Business...Until They Need HelpYou Don't Have to Be Rich to Be GenerousEvery Farm Has BeaversWhy Everyday Life Makes the Best TeacherFive Reasons Everyday Life Is the Greatest ClassroomDon't overlook the wisdom sitting on a porch somewhere. Don't dismiss the grandfather fixing a tractor. Don't ignore the grandmother canning tomatoes. Don't underestimate the mechanic, the waitress, the rancher, the truck driver, the school custodian, or the neighbor who's lived through things Google can't explain. Life whispers before it shouts. "Sometimes you have to give the seed a chance to grow." Giddyup!!!

    This MEETING Could Have Been An EMAIL!!!

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been in a meeting or on a conference call and thought, "what a complete waste of time..."  Yeah, me too... Somewhere, right now, a conference call is taking place that should not exist. Twenty-three people have stopped what they were doing. Three are paying attention. Seven are checking email. Five are wondering why they're there. Four are on mute walking their dog. Two are pretending their camera is broken. And one person is sharing a spreadsheet nobody can read. Welcome to the modern meeting. Join Dave for some PRODUCTIVE talk about WASTED TIME: How Did We Get Here?Ten Reasons Most Meetings Are a Waste of TimeFive Reasons We Know They're Inefficient But Keep Having ThemFive Personality Types That Love MeetingsBetter AlternativesTechnology Is About To Change EverythingTime is the only resource that cannot be replenished and every unnecessary meeting takes a piece of someone's life they'll never get back. Meet when you must. Decide quickly. Invite fewer people. Leave with action. And remember: The goal of work is not to attend meetings.The goal of meetings is to make work better.If they aren't doing that, stop calling them meetings.Call them what they are: A group project that nobody wanted.

    KNOW-IT-ALLS

    Send us Fan Mail Do you know anyone who is a KNOW-IT-ALL?  Yeah, me to... There are people in this world who know everything, at least according to them. You know these people. You can’t tell a story without them interrupting halfway through to explain how they had it worse, did it better, fixed it faster, or knew about it before it was popular. Join Dave for some INFORMATIVE talk about: The Human Condition of “Knowing”Giving Away Their Power Through Absolutes5 Reasons Some People Become Know-It-Alls5 Negative Effects They Bring Into EnvironmentsLong-Term ImpactNames People Use for These Types5 Ways To Attempt To Change Their Behavior5 Ways To Deal With ThemIf you know somebody like this, remember: Their behavior usually says more about their internal need than your external worth. And if you ARE somebody like this...You do not have to prove your value in every conversation. Giddyup!!!

    WORRILESS...

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever found yourself WORRYING about something that turned out to be nothing?  Yeah, me too... Worry is the interest payment on a debt that usually never comes due. Worry is the imagination hijacking the present and dragging it into a future that may never happen. It is rehearsing tragedy before the curtain even opens. It is borrowing pain from tomorrow and demanding payment today. Join Dave for what might be the most important O'talk topic of all: Worry Has Crippled Great People Throughout HistoryWorry Is About Thoughts, Not RealityThe Top 10 Things People Worry AboutHow Worry Becomes RealHumanity Has Been Trying To Escape Worry ForeverStress vs Worry5 Ways To Embrace Gratitude, Positivity, and Today5 Action Items To Reduce Worry TodayYou were not designed to carry tomorrow before it arrives. Life is heavy enough in real time without dragging imaginary disasters behind you like a broken trailer. There is a difference between preparation and imprisonment. Preparation says:  “I’ll be ready.” Worry says:  “I’ll suffer now just in case.” One builds strength. The other steals life. Most of the things we worried about never happened. But the time we lost worrying? That part was real...
