Episode #160: Finding Our Own Way Featuring John Mendez

02/09/23 • 64 min

“I didn't have a role model so I decided to take the best of different people and kind of became this melting pot of different perspectives and viewpoints. I was essentially trying to aggregate the best of that I saw within all these people that crossed my life, my life and somehow combined that with my own experience that I was living in and kind formed an overall super mindset."

We all want to live a life of love and happiness that uniquely belongs to us. While the path may not entirely be clear, the journey belongs to us. It's not an easy one, especially if that path involves doing something different than the norm.

There's a false belief that you have to do things the same way as everyone else to find success in life. Whether it's thinking that they have to go to a good school, get a good job, settle down and have a family and live their life the same way that everyone else does.

But that simply is not the case. You can make your life whatever you want it to be and it doesn't have to mirror anyone else's.

When you start your journey of creating your own path in life, you may feel lost. You may not really even know what you want to create, just that you want something else.

The first thing to remember is that you will not find your way by scanning the distant horizon of the future or comparing yourself to others. You need to start walking. Set out along your way, step by step, and keep your eyes peeled for the opportunities that appear. Try to identify your passions, and try to spend more of your time on things that feel meaningful. These are the steps needed to live your own audacious life.

"The two most important days in everyone's life are the day you were born and the day you find out why."

Serial entrepreneur, realtor, podcast host, and social media expert, John Mendez, is deeply passionate about helping other like-minded individuals achieve a life of abundance. Through the power of the mind and social media, John Mendez is empowering others to obtain financial freedom and build the lives they’ve always dreamed of living.

He's also the host of the Walk2Wealth podcast which touches on topics including, but not limited to, investing, budgeting, mindset, credit, real estate, work/life balance, etc.

Episode #159: The Power of One Drop! Featuring Jason Tyler Mclean

"I tell people to just take that first one, do one pushup, write one word, go for one walk, go one day without a cigarette, whatever it is. You just got to think of it like this big powerful waterfall started with only one drop of water"

Jason Tyler Mclean

We live in a world where much uncertainty and doubt exist and little to no advanced notice is available about what's coming around the corner. At one time, we were able to plan out or predict every step on our journey to success, that no longer is the case. In today’s environment, change is the only constant but the unknown shouldn't hold us back from taking the first step.

Courage isn’t about knowing the path it’s just about taking the first step. All accomplishment starts with the decision to begin. Making the first step generates a momentum – a power force that if followed and sustained can get you to your goals. Life rewards those who are willing to be involved in it and take chances. You should not wait until the situation is perfect because the situation will never be perfect.

If you're wanting to take that first step then do it today, don’t hesitate just act.

“When people think of purpose, they always think like, I gotta find my purpose in life. But how about finding your purpose in every moment or find your purpose in every day? Because it’s that one drop of water that builds a waterfall. Find the purpose in the moment you’re in and it starts with that first drop of water.”

Jason Tyler McLean is a Winnipeg, Canada based author, speaker, and educator. He lives with mental illness and has made it his purpose to share his story to help empower others who are amid struggle with mental health issues, to influence in a positive way that through story telling and taking action that lives can transform, and improve the relationship with ourselves in hopes to establish connection with each other. His vision is to unite as many minds as possible with the purpose of disabling the stigma that casts a dark shadow over mental health and mental illness.

He joins Audley on The Audacious Living Podcast to reflect on his personal journey and the turning point in his life, the importance of self-care and the everyday challenges those struggling with mental health face on an everyday basis.

Episode #161: You Don’t Have to Stay Where You Are! Featuring Mike Acker

"Part of what I'm doing with speak with confidence is helping you to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs. Choose to believe new things about yourself because often we doubt our beliefs."

Mike Acker

Speaker | Author | Communications Coach

_____________________

Believing in yourself means having confidence in your own abilities. It means being able to trust yourself to do what you say you'll do and knowing that those efforts will result in the desired outcomes. When we lack self-confidence or lack of belief in ourselves, we're less likely to act, to change, or to push to make things better.

That means that believing in ourselves is kind of like the key that turns the ignition and starts the car. We can't really go anywhere without it. Try as we might to push ourselves forward, we're blocked because our thoughts, attitudes, and actions aren't in alignment with our goals.

Believing in ourselves involves a bit more than just forcing ourselves to develop self-love and start pursuing our goals. It's more a matter of seeing where we're stuck and compassionately exploring how to get unstuck.

"Stop being a poor imitation of someone else and become a great version of yourself."

Mike Acker is an executive communication coach, a keynote speaker, and the author of ten books including the bestselling Speak With No Fear and the upcoming Speak with Confidence, published by Wiley. Mike is a recognized expert in communication and executive presence.

Mike joins Audley on The Audacious Living Podcast to discuss how we can get rid of the obstacles in front of us that hold us back, what the five drivers of success are and how each and every single one of us can lead with confidence.
