Always a great time sharing the mic with my buddy Carter. In this episode we discuss his predictions and thoughts on the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. He has some awesome insight and is very well-spoken on many subjects, sports-rel...

Let's change our outlook on life by tweaking things a bit: taking walks, biking, better eating habits, that sort of thing. Nothing drastic just simple easy changes. Lord knows, I'm no doctor (maybe a doctor of love but that's...

How true isn't it. We may be exhausted , feeling overwhelmed, and we may question EVERYTHING, but we cannot let these feelings take us down. To wit, we've come to far to stop now haven't we? There's an Insta account titled "m...

Memories of friends and family can guide us or at the very least make us smile... those with us and those no longer here but always in our hearts. Do you have someone who's always popping into your mind? I sure do. Bill had s...

No matter what life throws at us, if we have a plan we believe in - don't give up! When nobody's cheering you on, when the haters come out, when no one gives a flip about you or your goals... screw it. Hey y'all know I've had...

Let's get our swagger back - for real ok? Perhaps it was COVID, perhaps it was the crazy political circus or media overload... whatever happened, many of us lost our self-confidence and our swagger, so to speak. I know I did ...

What, me worry? What good does it accomplish? The esteemed songwriter (and kind-of philosopher WIllie Nelson believes it can make us sick both mentally and physically. There's a lot of truth to that, so as we go through our d...

Think lightly and ease your mind... a variation of our common themes here on SMFRThePodcast, such as living in the moment, taking a mind break, etc. I saw a quote by the author Aldous Huxley on the subject of "thinking lightl...

How to start over... we all get stuck in ruts - sometimes big, hopefully most of the time small. However, it's up to us to change things, to shake things up, to do whatever it takes to make the most of our days and our lives ...

Every day is a special occasion isn't it? It doesn't take Christmas, Easter, birthdays, or whatever to make us appreciate our family and friends - or new friends we might make that day. If anything, appreciating those everyda...

Two basic things we need to get things going in the right direction to start our day. So simple yet we often forget how important they are (and don't we all need a l'il reminder sometimes?). So before we can live our best liv...

You're the boss! Let's remember that as we go through our day. Your significant other, your supervisor at work, friends, etc... hopefully they're a positive influence but always remember that we control ourselves and our thou...

5 things to quit right now... this l'il 10 minute podcast is pretty much a microcosm of almost all of the things we discuss here on SMFRThePodcast.com. These reminders are sure helpful to me and hopefully to you as well. Give...

Media overload can take us down a rabbit hole before we know it - and ruin our best laid plans, not to mention our day and our good vibes. It can be overwhelming as we know, so let's eliminate it as much as possible. Turn off...

If you've ever been bullied in the past, or just mistreated in school or other situations, you know how humiliating it can be - and you never want to see that happen to others right? In my case, I remember these instances viv...

Don't Believe Everything You Think is a great reference book by Joseph Nguyen. Mr Nguyen packs a lot of good stuff into 120 pages and it hasn't left my desk since I got it a few months ago. This podcast highlights Chapter 5 a...

The Struggle Bus is real, for all of us - but we have to endure the bumps and get off at the next stop. We can do it by lifting up each other, helping each other, whether in person or even over the interweb airwaves lol. In a...

Here are 9 ways to calm yourself when things start getting a little rough - or good ol' anxiety rears it's ugly head. Staying in the moment and not letting the past or future get our minds racing is so important. These 9 ever...

Sometimes we just need a reset, like going through our social media accounts and getting rid of the garbage (i.e., overbearing political content, media bias, whiny people... well, you know). Let's focus on the good stuff that...

Slight deviation from our usual content, but couldn't resist having my buddy Carter on to talk NFL, the Tampa Bay Bucs, and Baker Mayfield's comeback. Actually it is related to our usual themes as Baker was counted out by man...

There are energy takers, and there are energy givers. We all know this but in this podcast we define the differences and the amazing impact they have on our lives (and our physical and mental well-being). Truth be told, all ...

I think a lot of us would agree that many of us suffer from some form of depression; the really bad kind requiring serious attention, to simple, everyday funky stuff that puts us, well, into a funk. This l'il episode is helpf...

We can (and do) get so bogged down with constant phone-checking, going down rabbit holes, and endless social media bombardment that we can "lose the forest for the trees" so to speak. In other words, losing sight of our daily...
