    LOVE or HATE - You DECIDE...

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever known someone who was either full of LOVE or full of HATE?  Yeah, me too... They are both pretty tough to take at time... There’s a hard truth about human nature that most people never realize: We usually find what we’re looking for... If you want to love someone, you focus on what’s beautiful and quietly excuse what isn’t. If you want to hate someone, you focus on what’s broken and ignore everything redeemable. That’s why two people can experience the same marriage, the same boss, the same church, the same friendship, the same country, or the same situation and walk away with completely different stories. Join Dave for some LOVELY talk about: The Power of Focus5 Reasons We Drift Toward Love or HateMisery Loves CompanyThe Danger of Long-Term Misery5 Reasons Gratitude Defeats Misery5 Ways to Beat the Temptation to Hate5 Ways to Avoid Love With Blinders5 Ways to Find Balance and Peace Life gets lighter when you stop forcing everything into extremes. Not everything is wonderful. Not everything is terrible. Not everybody deserves worship. Not everybody deserves hatred. Most of life is somewhere in the middle. The war may have shaped you, but it does not have to define you. At some point, you have to put the armor down, lift your head, and walk toward peace. The quality of your life will always be connected to the quality of your focus. Lover or hater?  You decide...

    YOUR MUSIC SUCKS!!!

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had someone hear or talk about a musical style that you like and make a negative comment about it?  Yeah, me too... You ever notice, music is the only thing where people will judge your entire character based on what you listen to in your truck? Not your morals, not your work ethic...No, but by your playlist. I love yacht rock, classic rock, funk, blues, metal, hardcore, and death metal -  which means I can go from sipping a drink on a boat, to contemplating life  to wanting to flip a table!!! Join Dave form some NOTES on: THE 11 GENRES AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL DELUSIONS5 WAYS WE CAN ALL AGREE5 WAYS WE ARE DIVIDED5 THINGS WE WILL NEVER AGREE ONCLASSICS VS NEW – THE PERMANENT STANDOFFHere’s the truth: Music isn’t supposed to make us all the same. It’s supposed to give us a place to belong. Different rooms. Different sounds. Same need. And if you trace it all the way back through the distortion, the beats, the polish, the noise...A lot of it leads right back to blues. A guitar.  A voice.  A story. Everything else? Just louder ways of saying the same thing. “So yeah...your music might not be my music...but if it makes you feel something...I get it!!!” Giddyup!!!

    MISTAKE vs DECISION

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever known someone to claim something they did or said was a MISTAKE, when you know it was really a DECISION?  Yeah, me too... Everybody makes mistakes. That’s not the issue. The issue is what we call things after they happen. Because sometimes, what we label a “mistake” wasn’t an accident. It was a decision. John Dave for some INTENTIONAL talk about: Mistake vs Decision 10 Times Bad Decisions Get Labeled “Mistakes”Why We’d Rather Call It a Mistake5 Public “Mistakes” That Were Really Decisions5 Ways to Address Bad Decisions Honestly5 Ways to Prevent Bad DecisionsYou don’t grow from mistakes alone. You grow from owning decisions. You’re going to have things happen to you. That’s life. But you also have the chance to turn almost everything into something that works for you. That starts with honesty. Call your mistakes - mistakes.  Call your decisions - decisions. And when one doesn’t go your way? Don’t hide from it. Don’t soften it. Don’t send it off like a scapegoat. Use it. Because the moment you stop being the victim of your outcomes is the exact moment you become the beneficiary of your life.

    MAN, THAT FEELS GOOD!!!

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had a moment when you thought, "MAN, THAT FEELS GOOD"?!?!  Yeah, me too... There’s a difference between life happening...and life landing. Most people are moving so fast they don’t notice when something hits just right. But when you’re aware, when you’re grateful, and when you’ve got even a loose plan for your day. Certain moments don’t just happen...They land. Join Dave for some "FEEL GOOD" conversation around: 10 Things That Just FEEL Good (Home, Work, Play)Why We Miss Them and Why That’s a ProblemWhat Feels Good at Different Stages of Life5 Categories We Chase to “Feel Good”5 Ways to FEEL More in Your Daily Life5 Ways to BE That Feeling for Someone ElseYou don’t need a new life to feel better. You need to notice the one you’ve already got. So when one shows up, don’t rush past it. Sit in it. Own it. Let it land. Giddyup!!!

    You're NOT BEHIND

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever found yourself in a funk or maybe just felt a little BEHIND where you think you should be?  Yeah, me too... There’s a group of people out there right now, maybe you’re one of them, who are battling something, questioning everything, or a little overwhelmed. It might not even that dramatic...just stuck in a quiet funk you can’t quite explain. Join Dave for some plain talk about: You’re not behind - you’re just in the middle of your story.The Long Drive Analogy5 Ways This Happens to Everyone5 Reasons This Is Actually a GOOD Time5 Ways to Move Through It5 Lessons to Take With YouYou’re not stuck. You’re not done. You’re not behind. You’re just in a stretch that doesn’t look impressive...yet. So don’t quit on a chapter. Take the next step.  Make the next move. Drive the next mile. Because one day, you’re going to look back at this stretch and realize it wasn’t where you got lost...It’s where you found your way forward. Giddyup!!!

    FRIENDLY FIRE

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever had someone close to you betray you?  Yeah, me too... The worst part of getting stabbed in the back is turning around and seeing who was holding the knife. Join Dave for some incoming talk about: The 5 Primary Causes of Friendly Fire5 Ways to Prevent/Reduce Friendly Fire5 Ways to Accept and Adjust5 Ways to Insulate Yourself - Without Going ColdYes, there are sharks in the water. But that’s where the life is too. You don’t avoid the ocean because it’s dangerous. You learn how to swim stronger, see clearer, and choose better. So when it happens, and it will, take the lesson, adjust your circle, tighten your awareness, but don’t lose your belief. Because the goal isn’t to live untouched. The goal is to live fully, with the right people close enough to matter.

    LUNCH $$$ THIEVES...

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been BULLIED as an adult?  Yeah, me too... Let’s just say it clean. We didn’t outgrow bullies...we just gave them calendars, credentials, and a way to expense lunch. Join Dave for some PAYBACK talk about: Why BULLIES Still ExistThe Hardest Bullies to Address5 Ways to Address a Bully (Direct)5 Ways to Address a Bully (Strategic)5 Ways to Walk Away StrongThe Truth Most People AvoidThere are still bullies everywhere. Not because they’re powerful. Because too many people have decided: “It’s just easier this way.” Every time you tolerate what you know is wrong... you train it to stay. Because you don’t have to control the bully...you just have to make sure they don’t control you. Giddyup!!!
