I will be interviewing guests who are "masters of their craft", experts at what they do, to understand their stories of how they became successful, the challenges they faced, and most importantly the habits they continually embraced into their lives to remain motivated.

I'll be interviewing everyone across the spectrum from freelance journalists to financial advisors and everyone in between.

Episodes will be released every Monday starting on January 5th, 2015.

In part 2 of my interview with Chris Sams, we learn how Chris ran across the country using the tag line "Sams Across America," from Baltimore to San Diego over a span of 5 months, running approximately a marathon a day.

We learn the importance of writing down your goals to make them real and how really believing in yourself is paramount to achieving your goals. Chris’ journey is inspirational to anyone who thinks they “can’t do it.” Like Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t...you’re right.”

Justin Jensen is an expert in body language and nonverbal communication. He is also a personal development coach who helps people find their passion.

He honed his experience over years spent at poker tables and in sales. The reads and mindset one has play a huge role in which can make all the difference between making a good call versus making a bad call. A lot like dating and life actually.

Justin never had a hard time with getting a girlfriend, however, he has had a track history of failed relationships that ended rather ugly. Including the one he almost married.

During a low point in his relationship with his ex-fiancee, he realized that life had for the most part been leading him. People telling him what he “should” do versus what he wanted to do.

That he was settling for the first woman who showed him any interest. On top of all that, he began to recognize a dating pattern that he had been going through all of his life. He realized that the women he dated ended up choosing him.

Motivated by these new realizations, he was determined to change and to finally make something of himself.
