What's a podcast?

A podcast is an RSS feed that delivers audio content. Sometimes you’ve got to hear it to get it.

OK, so what is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a technology that automatically tells you when periodic content from a website is published. When you subscribe to a Live Dynamite RSS feed, your RSS reader will let you know when there's more great stuff for you to check out.

Then what's a RSS reader?

An RSS reader is the software or web-based service that you use to subscribe to a feed. Many browsers have a reader built in.

Nothing like a real-life success story to inspire belief. It’s proof we can all reach greatness. You just have to take the first step. Then keep going until you reach your goal.

Here’s my “Do Over!”

After 15 years of working at a job I’ve really enjoyed,  I was faced with the decision to move across the country to keep it or “explore new opportunities.” I’m a guy who has always played it safe and done what was expected of me. I’ve been very successful and also see how I’ve lived […]

Starting with me.

Yes! I’m back to taking care of myself and it feels great. I’m exercising, eating better and living with appreciation every day.
Amazed at how a few changes–changes everything. I’m sticking with it!

What’s your story?

Have you seen your greatness yet? Sometimes it shows up big. Other times it’s the everyday stuff that feels amazing. The point is to acknowledge that you’re doing it. Share what’s working. And inspire others. Come on!

Are you ready to keep expanding and creating your life? That’s the idea behind our Playbook Club. You form a peer-based group that will inspire and support you. You motivate and coach each other. You hold each other accountable. You make progress. See real results. And have fun along the way.

It’s easy. You pull together a small, diverse group (3-5 people). You’ll each need the Live Dynamite® Toolkit, so everyone has their own Playbook and the tools to succeed. Download The Guide (PDF) and you’re ready to go. It gives you a simple structure and best practices to lead six productive meetings.

Invite your friends to Create a Playbook Club. Experience how energizing and exciting it is to keep creating your life.

    Expand your comfort zone to keep growing!
    tree-rings.jpeg

    It’s time to stretch yourself and see what more is possible. You simply need to move outside your comfort zone and create new experiences that energize you and help you to keep growing.

    As you stretch beyond what you’ve mastered you create more optimal experiences and move into a state of flow. This happens when your experiences fully engage you and leave you feeling energized. So push yourself a bit this week. Commit to taking action so you can see what life has to offer when you lean into it. It’s fun.

    • Find one way to move outside your comfort zone today. Start small and simply stretch yourself.
    • Notice what it feels like as you stretch a bit. If may feel a little uncomfortable at first. This is normal and a sign that this is just what you need.
    • Now, make a list of new ways you will stretch yourself this year. Start small and keep gaining momentum. Build up to creating new experiences that really expand the way you see life. Put your ideas into action again and again.

    we would literally astound ourselves.”

    Move into action to move past fear.

    action.jpg
    Planning is great, but sometimes it’s best to just move into action. This is especially true if what you’ve been thinking about doing holds a little fear for you. Your thoughts can quickly build up a wall of reasons that will keep you stuck if you let them.

    This is when it’s a great idea to just move into action. Just take the first step toward whatever it is that you want to do and lean into it. You’ll find that the fear dissipates and your momentum builds.

    • Make a list of all of the things you’ve been thinking about or putting off for far too long. Select one item and identify what steps you need to take to get ‘er done. Take at least one step every day until it’s completed.
    • Take a victory lap to celebrate your progress and all you’ve learned. Then go back to your list and repeat.

    “You can’t build a reputation
    on what you were going to do.”
    –Henry Ford
