Dog Days Prothos

When building a business or pursuing your dreams, it's really easy to get wrapped up in the process, day to day, and everything it takes to actualize whatever it is you're striving to achieve. Think about it, you're actively doing what you love every single day, you're constantly working to establish something larger than yourself because it's what you've always dreamed of doing. 

Because of this, it's easy to put off spending time with the people we're lucky enough to have in our life. Last week, my mom was hiding in a store with seven other people from a gunman that they never found. The active shooter at Mayfair mall sent eight people to the hospital. It really made me realize that we aren't promised the moments we have with each other, and we should always take the time to spend with those we cherish. It's easy to put off this time with people because we think we'll somehow be able to make time for it when we're 'more established'; but when we grow, so do our goals- if we don't make it a priority now, we never will. 

The point of this episode is that if you're lucky enough to have people in your life that you love, don't wait to tell them. Call your mom, get lunch with your sister, and grab a beer with a good friend. 

The beginning of every journey needs some kind of ‘why’. Without a clearly defined sense of why we would take action, there would be no catalyst to actually make it happen.

Of course, as we’ve all experienced, this is no walk in the park- it’s a tough mental game EVERY SINGLE DAY- so the second part of this podcast is going to be thinking and talking about what keeps us moving forward.
