    The Suite Rewind: Darcel Returns, now on Video on some platforms!

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the Suite Rewind Series, where we occasionally return to  memorable conversations from the SuitesSpot archives and share them in a fresh shorter format. For our first rewind, we are going back to where our interviews began. Darcel, my wife, soulmate, business partner, and the very first guest on The SuiteSpot, joined us for a full week of conversations several months ago. The response was so positive, and many of you asked to hear more from her, so we are bringing back selected moments from her Slow Down Sunday episode. This release also marks another first for The SuiteSpot. It is our first-ever video episode. Darcel’s original interview series, along with every previous episode, was released in audio only. We have moved from daily podcasting to a weekly schedule, and we know some of you miss hearing from us throughout the week. Every so often, we will surprise you between regular episodes with a Suite Rewind video release. There are also more than 500 episodes waiting for you in The SuiteSpot archives. Revisit an old favorite or discover an episode you may have missed. Thank you for listening, watching, and continuing this journey with us.

    Conquering The Climb: Seven Mountain Climber Lessons For Winning Under Pressure- #WinItAllWednesday

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to The SuiteSpot. And remember our new format,  we're moving from our regular daily schedule to dropping just once a week. If you're missing the daily drops, revisit our archive of over 300 episodes to catch up! Now, stay tuned for this weeks episode - Win it All Wednesday ! We stop treating our challenges like enemies and start using them like teachers that reveal what we need to grow. Using mountain climbers as the model, we lay out seven practical mindset shifts that build resilience, patience, recovery, and steady performance under pressure.   SUITE SPOTS: • the mountain changing the climber rather than the other way around   • winning as rhythm rather than speed   • focusing on what’s next instead of wishing for a different mountain   • recognizing the many kinds of mountains across sports, leadership, school, retirement, health, grief, and relationships   • nobody climbs in one leap and progress is built step by step   • humility under pressure because the mountain does not care about your resume   • thin air at higher altitude and why harder does not mean failing   • recovery as part of excellence and better judgment   • transformation through setbacks, disappointment, and endurance   • never climbing alone and building a rope team   • the real reward being the person you become, not the summit   If this made sense to you, please share it with somebody who you think may be facing a mountain and could use this word.   If today's message was helpful, please feel free to share it and subscribe.   #STAYAMAZING

We use a mountain metaphor to build courage, perspective, and steady performance when the moment matters. SUITE SPOTS: • why huge challenges feel bigger at the start • how perspective changes once you push through • why the mountain does not shrink but you grow stronger • using determination, faith, and trust in God to keep moving • the idea that the real conquest is yourself If today's message was helpful, please feel free to share it and subscribe.

    Suite Spot interview Series: #Selfcaresaturday Interview with Kendall Glaspie- Author, Innovator and Business Strategist

    Send us Fan Mail Science Soul Success We reset after a hard week by treating recovery as the reason we can keep performing, not a reward we earn for suffering. KG Kendall Glassby shares what self-care looks like in real life and why men have to take ownership of it if we want health, longevity, and a strong legacy.  Suite Spots • reframing recovery as a core performance habit, not a nice-to-have  • defining self-care as intentional micro healing and energy replenishment  • using practical tools like therapy, loved ones, martial arts, nature, and a massage gun  • building discipline by scheduling recovery instead of squeezing it in  • matching self-care to chronotype by knowing when you function best  • challenging the “tough it out” mindset and linking self-care to being here for what matters  Follow me and subscribe please share this episode! #STAYAMAZING

    Suite Spot interview Series: #Finishstrongfriday Interview with Kendall Glaspie- Author, Innovator and Business Strategist

    Send us Fan Mail Science Soul Success We challenge the tired phrase “finish strong” and turn it into a practical way to end the week with less stress and more momentum. KG shares a simple system for closing open loops so Friday feels cleaner and Monday starts sharper.  Suite Spots • treating the week like a project with a clear start and finish  • “closing tabs” to reduce anxiety and decision fatigue  • ranking priorities by urgency and importance  • using a weekly to-do list as a commitment tracker  • the 12 Week Year idea and how deadlines stretch work  • protecting rest and family time by finishing key tasks  • stepping away for micro recoveries to regain focus  • choosing a process and standard over your mood  If you're listening, you have a project that you have to finish, or you have something that you know that's an open tab. Follow KG's very sage and very, very clear advice. Prioritize the tabs that you can close and see what you you can sort of not take in to Monday.  Stay with us! follow me and share! #STAYAMAZING
