#IYP Ignite Your Purpose Daily Chat
The reason we started the Ignite Your Purpose Show was to educate...for sure there is a ton...I mean a ton of info out there on any and all topics under the sun! Yet that must also mean there is a ton of Confusion -
In a chat I had today I was told by a friend that they have been eating clean for over a year....
If nothing else in my mentorship in soto zen and the health studies that I do have taught me is this "The Body Never lies" we sure do, but the body does not!
one step at a time.......

Episode 110 - Ignite Your Purpose
We are all the same but different!
John Barrett and myself talk about #fomo and how at our base level we are truly all the same!
John talks about no matter the race, colour, creed, nationality we all bleed the same and want the same basic things.
What do we mean by that?...Well, an experience I had while training last night was the lesson that brought this all about! By being humble, vulnerable and open at the end of this sparring session.
Back story is I trained with this gentlemen about 2 years ago while we went to test of skill level. We both got our first level, but since then have not trained together but have somewhat kept an eye on each other.
We are both going to test another level and for me I wanted to train with this guy again to test my skill set out and see if he was: better than me, does he know more, did he learn different things....And on and on and on in my mind. This maybe my hard wiring as a male but also in general as a human, so we all must have this.
Like I said at the end when I opened up and said "man I wanted to train with you because I was UNSURE about my skills compared to YOU" (are you listening to these words) COMPARED TO YOU ... he then opened up as well and said "he wanted to train with me for the exact same reasons!!"

Episode 109-Ignite Your Purpose
For the #Love or the #Finance?
John Barrett talks about some personal items he remembers about this subject as do I. How this came about is that talking with a few accountants a few key sentences were said to me that really stuck out.
The type of wording that made me stop and say "HUMMMM" that is a very interesting way to look at a relationship.
Yet this type of thing has been happening since the beginning of time I am sure.
The sentences are; "it makes financial sense to do this with"... and "the tax breaks would be more beneficial to you if"....
John and I both understand the #reality of the sayings when it comes to a relationship and we speak about that in the show...yes it does make sense, for sure.
However I just find it interesting that is it woven into the fabric of our #society as something that may trump true love and soul mate type vibes...to re-enforce our feelings of being #secure and not wanting be in #fear of not having enough!

Episode 108-Shut up and do it Already!
After many #trials and #tribulations in our rather new-ish endeavour John Barrett and I speak about the #fact that #action and actions that are repeated daily are what have been taking us from just hanging around the average mark...to steadily moving up the mountain!
Our daily routine went from a loose plan to start (which at the bare minimum we did) but we plan was so loose and had zero structure that the system we were going through was destine to fail...and fail it did.
We had no road map, no plan of action on a daily, weekly, monthly, basis no process to move forward, or goals to aim towards. A simple "well let's record our show kinda when we can get it-was the bare minimum!
The difference being that now we have a lot of plans in play and that are put to action...not every single one — as we are human and there is only 2 of us...but a great majority of them are ...75% or more for sure.
With this we continue to hit and achieve actions we have laid and planned out thus allowing ourselves to keep moving the needle forward for the next set of actions...very cool how this works!

Ignite Your Purpose 107 - Planes, Trains, Auto Mobiles, and London is calling
So finally John Barrett and myself get to chat, as John has been on a real life escapade of travels that has just been well weird to say the least.
From that today we chat about how just one slight mis hap in the world we live in from a delayed plane to a late shipment can through us into a dis a-ray.
Meaning how do we handle the small little issues such as no lemons at the market, to the time when something major happens and there is limited food in the markets for days or weeks?
Remembering what is important and how good we truly have it even when it is not perfect...just a few of the things we touch on today!
Thank you all as always!

Episode 105 - Ignite Your Purpose
Rolling with the punches
Dealing with adversity
So John Barrett and myself had plans...yup an interview with another amazing human to elevate our own knowledge and that of our community.
However the universe had other plans for us all I guess, due to time zones and restrictions and maybe just issues in general-it was not to be.
So we thought to ourselves ok what are the most important values here for us; 1. Ignite Your Purpose comes first, 2. Time is very — very valuable, 3. Our community and our dedication
So we immediately decided to drop the interview idea and start recording and looking for ideas to chat about, and what happened next was what it is all about ...letting it flow aka rolling with it.
We by far had the most authentic, unscripted, non linear, abstract and deep conversation that came out of no where — a higher self type conversation...I mean I was blown away by it...and loved it!
By just looking for the opportunity (aka the positive in this situation) and knowing our why our purpose...we had to trust that the universe had better plans for us in that time slot...and boy did it ever!!!Thank you all

Episode 104 - Ignite Your Purpose
Practice What You Preach
Well, today's chat we are 'patting ourselves on the back'...not only do we not just stand on a soap box and preach...we actually do the S&*T we say to do.
This became very evident for Mad Max the last couple of day's as he decided to do a 3 day rest/spa break from reality.
For me this involves me not doing a damn thing...physically and as for mental very little (which may not be heard). I noticed that I had been going very hard and putting in extra time when it came to hand to hand combat (and my body was taking a pounding) as well I had kept up my normal work out schedule.
Although it is summer, I am feeling amazing, eating amazing, and getting enough sleep, mix that with my meditation routine and wake up and sleep routine boom I am on fire... but I have noticed a little fatigue and extra soreness. My ego wanted to say maybe just maybe you can keep going hard for another week or two (gain train!) but I thought you know what... we preach balance, we talk rest and recovery....so let's fully implement before hand. Meaning before you actually feel tired and may get sick or an injury!
I know for a fact I will be so well rested and recovered that when I go back to train I will be at another level.
John had a great deal of questions to ad in as someone who observes the show would as well...like are you talking BS or are you living how you say you live!

Episode 103 - Ignite Your Purpose
Relationships Hows yours?
If we are talking "Love" relationships we all as humans need to re define what our definition of #LOVE is ....is it what we see in the #Hollywood #movies?
If so we may need to re think our vision, that's where we start today's talk with my ace John Barrett. If we don't know ourselves and we expect or think someone else is there to make us happy or provide certain things to us that we cannot do for yourself...well my take on that would be that we are setting ourselves up for failure and suffering!
So step one is to know ourselves! Know what we want (truly don't just give this lip service)... it is a huge thing, and a huge evolution process~
John speaks about his 5 pillars on what can make a relationship work...and that is another word we use a lot - it takes work! It also takes some balance and give and take, no matter what type of relationship we speak about; business, personal, love, work, family...it's all the same but different!
I also speak about that before I knew WTF I was doing in life...I just wanted everyone to like me, so I was never myself I was just what they wanted me to be so people liked me...don't do this, a major mistake and learning opportunity that I was privileged enough to learn.
From there we have the chance to really enjoy great relationships!
