    Regaining Lost Ground with Wayne Boatwright

    "Life doesn't happen to us, life happens for us." The way we perceive the ups and downs, and more importantly how we learn from and respond to them can make all the difference and getting back to the "up" moments.

    On this episode, our guest Wayne Boatwright shared this perspective and how it applies to his journey. After living a life that was on a high peak, a decision he made would change his life forever that would lead to a fast and furious fall from that peak.

    As a dad of two, Wayne shares his journey of learning to regain the trust of his loved ones after spending six years in San Quentin prison. His story serves as both a cautionary tale to those of us that are dads, as well as a story of how even the darkest moments can be used to serve others on our way back up.

    Wayne shares some great tips on how to stay connected with your kids regardless of your situation, and also how to regain lost ground if you find yourself in a place where you have lost trust.

    Wayne also serves as a Board Member for Man 2 Man Urban Youth Advocate, where he uses his vast business and legal background to help philanthropic organizations succeed in their missions.

    The Currency Of Time: Who Are You Paying?

    Do you treat your time the same way that you treat your money?

    Do you budget your money and know where every dollar goes, or have a plan for those dollars? If not, honestly you should (you will likely have more dollars if you do). How about your time?

    If you have ever said, "I don't have the time," then give this a listen as you haven't been and won't be the first. We offer a brief perspective on what we have heard on the podcast and a perhaps a different way to look at time so that you can master the skill of maximizing your most important, yet irreplaceable resource.
