    Vision

    A vision with action makes a powerful reality. Your vision is the manifestation of what's in your mind, and when it is clear, the strategy and execution come next. Mark Davis and Frank Griffin discuss the game plan on how to turn a vision into reality with their real-life experiences. Listen as they talk more about how powerful having a vision is and how it can take you beyond where you are at the moment to your desired goals and outcome.  Highlights: 02:00 In order to make progress in life, you need to have a vision of reaching beyond where you are today.  04:50 Don’t be afraid to dream big and have a big vision. 08:15 One of the things that you’ll find on that pathway, as you break it apart, you take it step by step. It’s not all easy. You're gonna find times when you’re really deep in a hole and you’re wondering “can I really pull this off?” Yes, you can! 10:54 Once you get going, that motion was to stay in that motion, what you gotta do is just stop with the minimum viable action.  13:53 What we gotta do is start spending time building positive habits and then your mind and your body will just automatically do it and you’ll look up and you will be in a successful place effortlessly.  Contacts:  Frank Griffin frank.j.griffin@cummins.com Mark Davis md3620@aol.com

    Effort (aka Why the Rich get Richer)

    Indeed, only those willing to take the risk of going too far can possibly discover how far one can go. Mark Davis and Frank Griffin talk about how significant it is to allow yourself to grow and develop your character to make an impact.  Listen as they share their life experiences and advice about creating visions, responsibilities, and discovering your gifts that will help you to achieve growth as an individual, family, or even in other aspects.  Highlights 04:13 Invest in yourself. You want to invest to improve your abilities, right, so you’ll be the person that people trust to give the responsibility to.  06:27 Many times, you know, you can have a certain amount of abilities but you don’t have the character to handle the responsibility.  08:15 Be risky to believe in your capability.  13:59 If you don’t have a plan for growth for your family, for your life, we can tell you from life experience, you’re gonna regress. 19:15 You should take some time to think about what your gifts are.  Contacts:  Frank Griffin frank.j.griffin@cummins.com Mark Davis md3620@aol.com

    Mamba Mentality

    We all have God-given talents that we need to discover, and when we find them, that is where success will come from. Mark Davis and Frank Griffin discuss finding purpose in life and the necessity of effort and hard work to be the greatest. Find out how having the right mindset and getting the tools you need can help you be better, create gaps, and make an impact.  Highlights 03:10 If you don’t have the effort, none of the other things matter. 04:02 If you want to put in that kind of work, you need to be passionate about what you’re doing and if you want to be great, you need to put in that kind of effort.  05:27 Mediocrity is not a good place. I’d rather succeed or fail, give me one or the other, than I would sit in mediocrity because you never truly know that you push yourself to any limit. 08:23 There is greatness in a plan B. There’s success. There’s vast benefits for you, your family and your community around you if you’re willing to perform that effort.  10:59 We need to really figure out what we want and once we figure that out, the rest is just putting plans to get that.

    Started From The Bottom, Now We’re Here (AKA Power of Education)

    No matter where you are today and how far you get, looking back at where you came from definitely gives you a better appreciation of the progress you've made. It is indeed a proud moment, which will motivate you to keep moving forward.  Mark Davis and Frank Griffin share their journey and the life lessons they've learned to give back and help you learn from their mistakes and build on top of the successes they've accomplished.  Highlights 04:45 I learned the importance of teamwork which is critical. You got to work with other people. 05:41  When you put in work, you'd expect positive results but if you didn’t put in work, most times you’d get disappointed. 08:30 Many of you, you know, you might feel that you can’t complete. Yes you can! You just gotta put in a little more time. 14:01 Working hard, managing your time, making sure that you focus on the right things, which has kind of allowed me to kind of be where I am today. 25:15 That’s what moved me; think about where I came from.
