#156 Balancing Family, Work, And Following Your Passions: The Power of Surrounding Yourself With Positivity (41:39)

Insights from an original Pathfinder. My goal with this episode is to bring you another interview with a “regular guy” who has found a way to have it all. I want to show you that you can lead an amazing life and achieve meaningful goals while not being an internationally acclaimed speaker or a Navy SEAL or a bestselling author. My guest today is Dr. Isaac Greeley. He’s a regular guy in that he doesn’t have a book to promote or a product to sell you. Beyond that, he’s anything but regular. Isaac is an entrepreneur, coach, and chiropractor. He’s the owner of The Mat Factory, an MMA, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club just outside of Pittsburgh. He’s also a black belt in Jiu Jitsu. At 42 years old, he not only trains and spars with his athletes- including professional fighters- he is a professional fighter himself. Further, Isaac is a partner in a chiropractic practice with five locations. He’s a father and husband. He’s an avid outdoorsman and fly fishing junkie. And he’s a philanthropist. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, if you want something done, give it to a busy person. Well, Isaac is that busy person who people come to get things done. And he gets them done. Isaac is one of the original Pathfinders. That is, he was a member of one of my earliest groups of Reveal Your Path and he continues his growth through my Reveal Your Path Pro inner circle. I want to explore Isaac’s mindset and methodology for getting so much done in the same 24 hours as you and I have.

You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here. And I can help. Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them. I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.

#155 Making Success Easy(er): Turning Hard Work Into Inspired Action

How to create “drive.” Does success require hard work? Well, yes and no. When you discover how to turn hard work into inspired action, the pain and suffering that is required to achieve meaningful goals get easier. But you have to stop and do the work. You have to discover what’s important, why it’s important, and how to set goals that are connected to those things. But there’s fear. I know. And doubt. So, you wait. Maybe next year. Maybe when you read one more book or talk to one more expert. So the waiting continues. You feel adrift. Or maybe like you’re barely keeping your head above water. Like you’re so busy you can’t stop to evaluate what you even want lest you drop one of the balls you have in the air. But you know there’s more in you. You know you’re leaving too much on the table. You know you’re capable of more and being average scares the crap out of you. But still, you wait. How do you break this cycle? How do you move forward despite chaos, busyness, fear, doubt, and uncertainty? How do you turn hard work into inspired action? We’re going to dive into this today in this episode of Success Through Failure.

Born and raised in Thompson, CT, Eric Kapitulik attended at the US Naval Academy, where he was a four-year varsity letter player on the Division I Lacrosse team. Graduating in 1995, Eric went on to serve in the US Marine Corps as both an Infantry Officer and Special Operations Officer with 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, 1st Marine Division. As a Platoon Commander, Eric led a team of 20 covert operations specialists on numerous Special Forces-related missions, including long-range reconnaissance patrols, hostage rescues, high-altitude jump exercises, ship takeovers and gas-oil platform takedowns. In 1999, during a routine training mission, Eric and his platoon were in a helicopter crash that resulted in the death of seven Marines. In response to this tragedy, Eric created the Force Reconnaissance Scholarship Fund to benefit the children of his fallen men. In order to raise money for the fund, he has participated in eight Ironman Triathlons, The Canadian Death Race Ultramarathon, The Eco-Challenge, and The American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon. Eric has also summited five of the Seven Summits including Mount Everest. Eric left active duty after eight years of service and received his MBA from the University of Chicago.

#150 How to Say No Without Offending Or Losing Out On Opportunities (19:03)

An Episode on Saying "Yes" to the Right Things. Saying “no” is hard. Especially when you want to maximize your life and take advantage of every opportunity. Or if you’re a people pleaser, like me. Saying “yes” is easy but, little do we know in that moment that we’re inherently saying “no” to something else. Your time and energy are limited so you need to spend them on your highest value tasks. If it’s at work, saying “yes” to one project means saying “no” to another task that you’d be putting that same time and energy into. If it’s in your personal life, saying “yes” may mean saying “no” to working out or spending time with your family. In this episode, I share how to say “no” and, more importantly, how to determine what do say “no” to so you know what to say “yes” to.

Dr. Reardon has written two books and was formerly the science editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines. Today he’s going to share with us how our genes impact our fitness and what you can do about it. He’s also going to read the results of my own DNA sample to tell me how they impact my health.

Let's connect: Website | Facebook | Twitter About Your Host Jim Harshaw My name is Jim Harshaw. And I know where you’re at. You’re working hard and qualified for what you do but you aren’t getting what you want. You have plans on getting to the C-suite or launching a business but ultimate success seems as far away today as ever. You’re at the right place because you can get there from here. And I can help. Who I Am I’m a speaker, coach, and former Division I All-American wrestler that helps motivated former athletes to reach their full potential by getting clarity on what they really want and taking aggressive action to lead their ideal life not just despite their prior failures but because of them. I’m a husband and father of four. And I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve launched multiple successful businesses as well as the obligatory failed one. I’ve been the executive director of a non-profit and have raised millions of dollars. I’ve worked in sales. I’ve even been a Division I head coach. While I was born in a blue-collar home I have spent my life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires. Jim Rohn said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve been lucky. I’ve learned the habits of successful people and guess what. You’re just like them. I know because I know your type. You’re programmed for hard work, which is a prerequisite for success, but you’ve never been shown how to use what you know to create the life you want with the tools you have. I will show you how. Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track. You need to understand this: You are far more prepared to succeed than those who’ve not tried, competed, struggled and overcome like you have. That’s the value of your education as someone who aims high. You are prepared to be as successful as your wildest dreams will allow. Here I will teach you, with the help of brilliant minds that have been shaped by failure, struggle, and adversity, to be who you want to be. I sense that you want this because you have read this far.
