Ep. 44 - Long Days, Short Years
Parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but it can also be one of the hardest. Between sleepless nights, sick kids, emotional meltdowns, and the everyday chaos of raising three young boys, I've found myself struggling with something I know many parents can relate to: staying patient when things get tough.In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I reflect on my own shortcomings as a father and revisit powerful lessons from four books: Good Inside, How to Stop Losing Your Sh#t with Your Kids*, The Last Lecture, and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.Three key takeaways:Control your emotions before trying to control theirs. Our kids are still learning how to navigate big emotions. Before reacting with frustration or anger, we need to regulate ourselves first. Be the calm, not the storm.Be present for the moments that won't last forever. The days can feel endless, but the years disappear quickly. Put down the phone, embrace the bedtime stories, and remember that your kids will never be this age again.Lead with love, not perfection. We won't always get parenting right. What matters is showing kindness, patience, and compassion, especially to the people closest to us.This episode isn't about having all the answers. It's about being vulnerable, recognizing where I need to improve, and reminding myself that while the days may be long, the years are incredibly short.Whether you're a parent navigating a difficult season or someone trying to show up better for the people you love, I hope these lessons encourage you to reflect, reconnect, and appreciate the moments that matter most.Show up. Stay consistent. Be better.

Ep. 43 - A Million Miles Away: 5 Ingredients for Success
What does it take to turn an impossible dream into reality?In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I reflect on the inspiring true story of José Hernández, the son of migrant farmworkers who overcame incredible odds to become a NASA astronaut.After being rejected by NASA 11 times, José was finally accepted on his 12th attempt. His journey is a powerful reminder that success isn't about where you start, but about perseverance, sacrifice, and the willingness to keep going when things get difficult.As I reflect on turning 40, recovering from an unexpected appendectomy, and thinking about my own personal and professional ambitions, I share five powerful ingredients for success that José's father taught him.The 5 Ingredients for Success:Know What You Want — Define your dream, understand your purpose, and be intentional about what you're working toward.Know How Far You Have to Go — Develop self-awareness, check your ego, and understand the gap between where you are and where you want to be.Draw a Roadmap — Turn ambitious dreams into actionable plans with achievable milestones.If You Don't Know How, Learn — Get uncomfortable, develop new skills, and take ownership of your personal growth.When You Think You've Made It, Work Harder — Never stop learning, improving, or investing in yourself, regardless of how much you've accomplished.Whether you're pursuing a career change, chasing an ambitious goal, or simply looking for motivation to keep moving forward, this episode is a reminder that it's never too late to pursue something extraordinary.Success doesn't happen overnight. It requires clarity, a plan, consistent action, and the resilience to keep showing up.Show up. Stay consistent. Be better.

Ep. 41 - Nate Pullen: Leader & Friend
In this episode of the Be Better Tribe Podcast, I sit down with longtime colleague and friend Nate Pullen, Director of SDR at Gong. After working together across three companies and more than seven years, Nate and I reflect on leadership, career growth, resilience, and the mindset behind sustained success.Nate shares his unconventional journey from the Marine Corps and running a restaurant to becoming an SDR and quickly moving into leadership. We explore what separates top performers from everyone else: discipline over motivation, genuine curiosity, coachability, humility, and the willingness to take action even when things get difficult.We also dive into overcoming negativity, embracing adversity, finding purpose in your work, and why the obstacles we face can become some of our greatest opportunities for growth.Key Takeaways:Discipline and consistency beat motivation.Stay curious and seek answers instead of waiting for them.Coachability requires humility and a willingness to learn.Obstacles, failure, and adversity are opportunities for growth.Focus your energy on what you can control.Your systems and daily actions ultimately shape your future.When things get hard: “Shut up, suit up, and show up.”Success isn't about avoiding difficult moments. It's about developing the mindset, habits, and discipline to keep moving through them.Show up. Stay consistent. And always remember to be better.

Ep. 40 - Trade Offs
Every meaningful choice comes with a trade-off. In this episode, I reflect on how the decisions we make with our careers, relationships, health, and time shape where we ultimately end up.I share personal examples of choosing growth over comfort and how different decisions can compound over time. The goal isn’t to sacrifice everything—it’s to be intentional about what you’re saying yes to and what you’re willing to say no to.Key Takeaways:Every yes means saying no to something else.Get clear on your priority.Name the trade-off you’re willing to make.Build systems that support the choices that matter most.The choices you make today shape where you’ll be tomorrow. Show up, stay consistent, and always remember to be better.

Ep. 39 - Show Up
Sometimes the biggest turning points in life start with one simple decision: show up.In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I share a childhood story about nearly skipping an Olympic Development Program soccer tryout because I felt too young, too small, and convinced I wouldn’t make the team. I went anyway, had one of my best days of soccer, and made the team.That moment became a reminder I still carry with me today: showing up doesn’t guarantee success, but it gives you a chance.Key Takeaways:Showing up creates opportunities.Being uncomfortable is often part of growth.Don’t count yourself out before you even try.The right people can push you forward when you doubt yourself.You don’t need to know the outcome to give yourself a chance.Whether it’s a new job, a difficult challenge, or something that scares you, put yourself in the arena. You never know what can happen when you simply decide to show up.Show up. Stay consistent. Be better.

Ep. 38 - Have Fun
In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I reflect on the importance of building core memories, having fun, and not taking life too seriously. A weekend with my son, parents, and family at a Raiders game reminded me how easy it is to miss those moments when we are too focused on how we look, what others think, or simply trying to play it cool.That realization hit me when I almost let a special moment with my son pass by. Thankfully, the weekend turned into a core memory, from meeting Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty to experiencing my son’s first Raiders game together.Key Takeaways:Be present when special moments are happening.Your energy shapes the experience of those around you.Don’t let worrying about what others think steal the fun.Make time to build memories with the people you love.Life moves fast, so enjoy it while you can.Sometimes becoming better is simply about letting go, being present, and having fun.Show up. Stay consistent. And always remember to be better.

Ep. 37 - Be Committed
Inspired by my recent conversation with Morgan J. Ingram, I explore how his career changed when he stopped approaching his SDR role halfway and decided to fully commit. I also share how that same lesson applies beyond our careers, from leadership and personal growth to being fully present as a father.Key takeaways:Name the roles that matter most to you.Define the behaviors that commitment requires.Measure your reps and track your progress.Ask for coaching and stay open to feedback.Remove the escape hatch, focus on improving where you are, and stop assuming the grass is greener somewhere else.Full commitment means showing up consistently, embracing the work in front of you, and giving yourself the opportunity to grow before deciding that something better exists elsewhere.Show up. Be committed. Have fun. And always remember to be better.
