    More isn't Better, Better is Better

    “Sometimes disengaging is the best way to engage.” In this episode, I reflect on how a recent spark of creativity hit me while I was on leave, and how that spark affects my Constant Elevation podcast.

    Mirrors, Windows, and Doors of Leadership

    “Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.” In this episode, I reflect on how I’ve shaped my leadership style through the lenses of Mirrors, Windows, and Doors. Each perspective builds on one another, and my hope is that my story will inspire you to blaze your own path.

    Staying Task Focused Within A Team

    Staying Task Focused Within A Team

    “Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” In this episode, share my recent experience guiding a team in a focused conversation to complete a designated task. If you are in a position to lead a team to success, be sure to keep the team focused on the task at hand and not get bogged down with analysis paralysis.

    Forging Mental Fitness: From the Gym to the Office

    Forging Mental Fitness: From the Gym to the Office

    “Your strongest muscle and worst enemy is your mind. Train it well.” In this episode, I pull in some of my CrossFit L3 study material to draw correlations between forging a strong mental game in the gym and the workplace. Sometimes the area we need to work on most is between the ears.

    The Pros and Cons of a Disruptive Leader

    The Pros and Cons of a Disruptive Leader

    “Change is inevitable, and the disruption it causes often brings inconvenience and opportunity.” In this episode, I reflect on my self-diagnosis of being a disruptive leader. Change can be good, but remain cautious on your approach else you’ll be so far away from leading your team that you’ll be by yourself.

Outstanding Podcast

I love this podcast due to its positive and energy filled content. I love learning from leaders who have a great understanding of the importance of showing their own identity and personality. Looking forward to more episodes and I would like to get a copy of your book too. More power!

Great Podcast for those who want to become transformative leaders

Came across this podcast in one of my FB groups I’m in, did not realize I worked for/with the host until it was pointed out. There’s a few ebooks and podcasts I listen to on leadership and behavioral topics. Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History, Work Life by Adam Grant, and they are excellent. This podcast is on par with those especially if you are military, and the topics can be applied outside of the military

I personally dreaded having to brief Lt Col Avilla because although he is not rigid, his expectations are. I’d compare the experience to lifting weights, if you have a long way to go in your progression then you don’t look forward to the weight room, and many times you will come out feeling beaten if you gave your best effort, but in the long run you will know you’ll be better for being there

This podcast cuts out the beatings and you’re better for having listened. Highly recommended for someone who intends to pursue purpose in life
