Have you ever audited how you respond to what you experience?

In this episode, Nick and Ray conclude our We Can Only Manage What We Measure series. As we know, there is a lot in life we experience that is out of our control.

By measuring how we respond to what we experience, we empower ourselves to be more intentional with our responses so we can keep them aligned with our values and goals.

When was the last time you measured the quality of what you consume?

In this episode, Nick and Ray continue our We Can Only Manage What We Measure series. We all have heard the saying, "We are what we eat". This is indeed the case, but there are other aspects of our consumption that have a significant impact on our quality of life: what we watch, what we read, and what we listen to. By measuring the quality of what we consume in each of these domains, we give ourselves an opportunity to make the proper adjustments to our consumption habits that will help us maintain optimal mental, physical and spiritual well-being.

Here's what you can expect from this episode:

  1. Mindful Moment - Pause, observe 3 DEEP breaths and expand your awareness of what's happening in your mind
  2. Benefits of Measuring Consumption - Nick and Ray share their unique experience with measuring the quality of what they consume
  3. Measurement Tools - Learn a simple and sustainable way to measure the quality of what you consume [MyFitnessPal App]
  4. Leading by Example - Nick and Ray share the connection between our consumption habits and how we pass them down to the next generation of our family

Have you ever measured how you spend your time and energy?

In this episode, Nick and Ray continue our month-long "We Can Only Manage What We Measure" series. In our personal and professional lives, we experience many things that are out of our control.

By measuring how we spend our time and energy, we gain the valuable insights we need to make informed decisions about ways we can align the habits we practice with our mind and body's optimal function.

Here's what you can expect from this episode:

  2. Defining Energy - Nick and Ray share their definition of what energy is in the context of measurement
  3. Measurement Tools - Learn simple and sustainable ways to measure how we spend our time and energy [see the link to the FREE Energy Management Guide below]

Guiding Question: How do you invest in your mental health?

2. Check In - Each takes time to share their current state of well-being and where they are focusing their energy to create generational wellness.

3. Feedback Chat - Ray shares some feedback received after EP175. He and Nick discuss why they choose to use the term "empower" when describing the impact they want to have on Black entrepreneurs.
