Monday Mindset: Your Epic Thing
Before surgery on his hand a man asked, "Will I be able to play the piano after surgery, doc?"The doctor assured him he would still be able to play piano after the surgery. To which the man replied, "Good, I've always wanted to play the piano."I took this "dad" joke and looked a little deeper. Most of us have dreams of what we want to do "someday." Hopes and dreams are usually put away on a shelf in your mind and you have comfort in knowing you can get them out "when the time is right."The sad fact is that most people breathe their last breath with those hopes and dreams still sitting on that dusty closet shelf.I challenge you to get one or two of your "someday" dreams out and start working on them.I'm dusting off an old skill that I never fully developed and after several decades I'm now going to learn it well.

Ep 142: Keeping the Streak Going ~ John Crum
John Crum was my very first guest on this podcast. When we last spoke, he was on an impressive run streak. Running at least a mile every day since November of 2015.He is still on his run streak. But his tenacity is impressive because he has also done 33 marathons or ultramarathons, including running a 100 mile race during his run streak. That means that he was out the door the day after finishing all those races to run at least a mile.I'm glad to have him back again for another conversation.

Monday Mindset: April Fools New Year
New Year used to be celebrated in the spring until the calendar changed in 1582. The New Year celebration lasted from March 25 to April 1.Some say that those who held to the old system were called fools. Thus, the origin of April Fools Day. But there is little evidence that this is true.But the fact is that your mindset is chained to the way our calendar is set up. How would you handle the change if we all went back to counting the New Year in the spring? If you are going after an epic life, you need a mindset that is able to handle and adapt to change, whether it's your choice or some crazy idea to change the calendar.
