Mindset Fitness Over Willpower with Ricky Mendez
05/26/21 • 48 min
“Ask and attract."
I'm talking to one of my good friends on the show today. He's a seasoned salesman and speaker, but he also has a beautiful heart and is passionate about turning around businesses that are struggling.
Ricky has been President, VP of sales, and COO of companies spanning Southern California over the last 10 years. With the help and dedication of his teams, Ricky has overseen operations in excess of a half-billion dollars in southern California and has appointed key personnel to implement the mindset and sales programs. Many of the great relationships have been with national brands such as Home Depot, Costco, American Residential Services, and Sears, where Ricky has spoken at national conferences to share his ideas and best sales practices.
Ricky’s specialty has been to rebuild divisions of mediocre or failing businesses. Again, with the support of his team, he has accomplished this repetitively and Ricky believes it all starts with the foundation of the proper culture that facilitates and celebrates the success of others. In rebuilding these companies, Ricky has faced some severe challenges and obstacles that have confirmed the strength of his teachings through consistent implementation of a positive mindset and Prosperity Planning.
In this episode, Ricky shares his own story of resilience and grit, how to get unstuck, and why we have to filter our own thoughts if we want to be successful.
Here’s what you will learn:
- What inspired Ricky to get started in speaking and coaching (2:31)
- How to get unstuck (6:42)
- How difficult or easy asking for help can be (13:28)
- How limiting beliefs can affect us (19:31)

Former Drug and Sex Addict Amy Dresner: Getting Dirty and Staying Clean
“Shame can't survive the light."
If you have been on this podcast journey with me for awhile then you know that addiction and recovery are a recurring theme on the show--subjects very close to my heart as someone whose life has been spared by sobriety. With so much going on in the world and addiction on the rise, and so many people suffering in silence, I think it's important to talk about mental health, addiction and shine some light on the subject. After all, shame can't survive the light.
So today on the show I am sharing the story of Amy Dresner--a true badass and an amazing example that you can get through anything with resilience and turn tragedy into triumph.
Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict and alcoholic. She has been a columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012 and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications. Her first book, “My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean,” was published by Hachette in 2017 to rave reviews from critics and readers alike. Elle magazine compared Dresner’s darkly comic memoir to Carrie Fisher’s “Postcards from the Edge” and Mary Karr’s “Lit,” calling Dresner’s book “one for the ages.”
Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors TV and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S. and Canada. Her book is currently in development for a TV series.
In this episode, Amy candidly shares her journey into and out of addiction and why it's never too late to change your life for the better. This conversation is raw, courageous and even shocking at times. We talk about the dark side of addiction, fear, self hatred and shame. The is a candid conversation about the struggles to success, the will to survive, and the conviction and strength required to achieve sobriety.
Here’s what you will learn:
- How Amy started her journey from pain to purpose (2:50)
- What she learned and how she grew from her arrest and jail (11:31)
- How being on the "chain gang" shifted her perspective and changed her life (19:21)
- How shame affects us and how the 12 Steps helps us (23:51)
- Addiction doesn't discriminate and how to overcome the dark side by shining light on it (29:45)
- How to navigate feelings that come and go (36:52)
- How Amy was able to manage her depression and mood in the pandemic (45:43)
- How to manage making decisions about medications in sobriety (52:18)
