Season 1

Here are 10 little things that we can incorporate into our daily lives - not only to make us more attractive - but to boost our confidence and self-esteem. I found these on the ol' interwebs and thought it was worth sharing w...

Steve's Harvey's journey from homeless to a household name has been popping up on my social media feeds lately. Perhaps you've seen it; he talks about living in his car for 3 years before getting his break. It's really good d...

One of our mantras here is "taking time for ourselves". Very true, but if we just sit at home and isolate ourselves - well, that's not good either. Let's learn to find a balance in our quiet time alone, and our need to get ou...

Here are a few reminders that can help get our days started with quiet power (i.e., confidence). Some days we jump out of bed and - perhaps we're late or whatever - we forget to "get our mind right" with a few good ol' positi...

10 small things (that aren't really small)... I saw this the other day and immediately screenshot it so I could share them with you. So are so many things that we do for others without thinking - or thinking that they're no b...

The Art of Asking is something I couldn't wait to share with you - the premise of it hadn't even occurred to me until I stumbled across this book by Amanda Palmer. So many folks (myself included) have viewed asking as a weakness, or even as begging. It's neither of those things - it's actually a st…

Matthew McConaughey is a big-time actor, but he grew up quite poor and has had quite a life. He started keeping a journal at age 14 and his book "Greenlights" is basically a summarization of the years of all those journals. T...

We've most likely heard of The Law of Attraction, but what about The Law of Vibration? They work hand-in-hand, and it turns out that you can't have one without the other. To wit: We attract what we put out (vibes); it's cause and effect in their most life applicable form. Pretty simple too. So let'…

If you Like/Subscribe/Comment (and I know you do 'cause you're here), you know your ol' buddy Steve loves his self-help books. But they all really come down to the things in the five sentences discussed on this episode. It's really not rocket science y'all, it's simply belief in ourselves, control …

Usually I share things that work for your ol' buddy Steve as far as navigating our days and living our best lives, but now I have a request of you. My lovely wife Beverly suggested that I ask more questions - and so in this e...

An oft-discussed topic - and perhaps even our mantra here on SMFRThePodcast - is The Golden Rule. Growing up I was taught this life lesson by my dad, Clarence, and although he never really called it that he led by the example...

The title kind of says it all, but when we look at our current problems in the past tense, we can basically re-program our mind for success. Hey, you know I'm the guinea pig here lol - I try this stuff myself before passing i...

Does your mind mind get cluttered and totally screw up your plans - or your sleep? Me too, and here are five ways to alleviate that mess (and my favorite is included at the end). Once you get the hang of it, life just gets ea...

We've discussed this before here, but The Magic Of Thinking Big has remained one of my favorite books over the years. Dr David Schwartz wrote it back in 1959 and it's more important today than ever. We encounter so many distractions, so many things pulling us in every direction... and this book has…

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...
