Quick Hit Friday #31: Kill The "Someday" Mentality!

On this latest Academy Quick Hit episode, I invite you to delete and get rid of the word and mindset around "someday." Let's face it:  Seeing the world this way is a surefire way to never achieve your goals, and set them off to a far, far away place that never actually happens. What it does it simple: it lets you off the hook. However, you and I know that nothing is guaranteed in this experience, and it's only a matter of time before we realize it. In this short episode, I'll inspire and challenge you to take your someday dreams and get started on them today.

7 Minute Book Review | The Last Lecture

Welcome to another 7 Minute Book Review Wednesdays from the Resist Average Academy! Every Wednesday, we will be featuring a Book review where we'll deep dive and extract the biggest lessons from some of the top books in the game. Remember, the knowledge and wisdom you are exposed to are one of the biggest factors for both your success and fulfillment in life. Additionally, I'll be sharing my rating of the book (1-10) as well as 3 big lessons and one big practical action step I've taken (and you can as well) with the new material. We'll start out with recent books I've gone deep into, and then start to explore some of my essential texts of all time. Today’s episode is about one of the simplest, yet powerful books I was blessed to receive many years back called The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch.

Ep. 67 | Build a Tribe and Monetize Your Passion with Amanda Bucci

The latest Academy episode features entrepreneur, YouTube star, podcast host and social media expert, Amanda Bucci. You can find Amanda everywhere online — using social media to build a loyal tribe through her passion for fitness, nutrition, healthy eating and personal development. She uses her social media platforms to inspire and reach as many people as she can, in hopes of igniting that passion in others that she has found for herself through the fitness lifestyle. I’ll be honest: from what I’ve seen, only a small group of people are using social media to the fullest — and most importantly, using it to provide value, showcase a unique message and ultimately monetize their passion. During this fun, exciting and engaging episode you'll learn how to build a raving tribe on social media, connect and engage with them, the power of authenticity and honesty, shipping your first video or piece of content and ultimately how to monetize your platform to grow your business in a major way.
