2025 Reject Mediocrity #fathersday #message focuses on "What is it to be a man?" This is a question I get a lot, usually in statement or advice form. The people who say it are trying to get met to do less, be more normal, and join them in their mediocrity. This is a common thing for status quo minded people that surround you. #ironmantriathlete #mindset #mentorship #mentorshipmatters #grantcardone #tonyrobbins #goggins

I created the concept of "Find the Challenge Within The Challenge" as a way to push past the status quo no matter the level of performance that surrounds you. Even #ironmantriathlete minded people have barriers on their #mindset. Usually, this is because of our egocentric world to which we believe our agenda is the only correct one. The #truth is that there are many roads to #success. The one we chose will have easier paths for people to take. Your #goal is to find the one that aligns with your set goals. #leadership #growth #habit #mindset #mindfulness #mindsetmatters #mindsetshift #mind #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #mentor

"Compete In The Things That Matter" Are you #competing with others?

Do you call yourself #competitive? Are all the people around you considered your #competition? Competition is part of #life.

The competition for #survival of humans has led to some of the most catastrophic events in our history. These are the extremes of life. Most people #compete on things that do not matter. They compete for who has the best car. They do things to get a house that is bigger than their #family. They compete on salary totals. These things DO NOT matter. This episode is a quick lesson on competing on things that matter. #motivationalspeaker #motivation #motivational #motivationalquotes #motivationalspeech #leadership #mentor

Everyone has worked for that person who has a position but lacks the skills required to lead others. #Leaders add value to their teams. #Managers just maintain control of the required work to maintain the status quo. People mistake position for their #leadership ability.

Most people take very little #reps in building their leadership toolbox with skills required to #lead others. This creates a system of performance that rewards negative core values while creating a #culture of personal agendas that many times competes with the #business purpose and values.

This episode discusses the paradigm of leadership versus management.

I had a group of female ultrarunners discussing the culture of ultrarunning on the race course at my last race.

They were talking about the growth of the sport with the new runners that are changing the dynamics of ultrarunning. They spent nearly an hour discussing stories of their experiences with rude runners each giving examples and their opinions on why.

This episode is my thoughts on the state of Ironman and Ultrarunning as each are experiencing growth to new runners. This is what I see in relation to the Reject Mediocrity philosophy.

MindSets: The Reject Mediocrity Podcast S2 Ep1 Part 1

This episode is about the 2024 Year in Review.

Did I meet my #goals ?

I will discuss my #ultrarunning & #ironman season. I set out to race in 24 events for 2024. I would #travel to 6 states and see over 20 #waterfall scenes. I met so many amazing, driven #runners & #athlete.

Every #ironman#race I choose a #corevalues to wear on my race shirt.

#ironmanflorida I chose to wear #tenactiy. The choice ended up perfectly representing what it took for me to #finish the race.

Tenacity is the quality of being tenacious, meaning persistent and determined. It's the ability to hold fast to a purpose, goal, or belief despite challenges and obstacles. It implies a strong will and refusal to give up.

MindSets - The 10-80-9-1 Principle

The 10-80-9-1 Principle is a concept used for performance management. The principle is a tool that leaders can use to learn how to evaluate their team members based on Competency - quality, quantity, & timeliness of work assigned.

The concept can be applied to other leadership areas that includes group dynamics and other areas where the leadership requires a tool to evaluate performance. The tool is important to understand for change management.

Self-Concept versus Social Self-Concept versus Reality

Many people believe their value lies within external places like other people, social media, or group identities.

You are not the negative voice in your head. You are not the belief you have of how others view you. You are ONLY an accumulation of your actions taken over time, positive or negative.

Ironman Florida 2023 Race Recap

I take a few minutes to discuss my #ironman Florida race. My #race was not perfect and we still made the finish line.

he Chief Ladiga 100 is over. Congrats to all the finishers. Took a few days to reflect on the race. Here are my lessons learned from my race. The day ended with a DNF at just over 16 hours. This video is my summary to change the did not finish into a "Did Not Fail" = DNF. Small details make huge impacts over 100 miles. Habit loops are important to create so you do the tasks when tired the same as when you are full energy. 100 mile runners are awesome humans, not just in running. #leadership #growth #habit #mindset #mindfulness #mindsetmatters #mindsetshift #mind #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #mentor

Why do you consistently seek Win-Lose in your life?

The answer is usually tied to a lack of the core value, Self-Control.

This core value is responsible for regulating your appetites and anger. These two aspect of your personality play large roles in how you interact with others.

This episode discusses the topic of Self-Control using a recent experience I had purchasing a new truck.

Many people quote Vince Lombardi's words on #perfection without taking the time to reflect on what his words truly meant.

"Gentlemen, we will strive for perfection all the while understanding it is unattainable. Along the way we shall achieve excellence."

The entire Reject Mediocrity #performance #algorithm was inspired by #Lombardi's quote.

This makes the statement a fundamental part of everything I teach.

This episode discusses the #quote and how I perceive its meaning.

If you are experiencing issues reaching your personal elite performance levels then you may be the problem.

The path to finding your elite self requires you to create positive habit loops that pushes you towards your goals.

The reality is that many people are creating negative habit loops without realizing it.

The Reject Mediocrity approach is discussed in this episode.

"If you want to kill your #dreams, share them with #friends and #family." - Steve Harvey

You want to share your #goals with people.

Then when you do your #ambitions are crushed with their criticism of what you think is possible.

This video is about why no one wants you to #succeed.

Someone asked me to explain what my Reject Mediocrity logo means. This episode is about my logo with the lessons for each part.

The Performance Triangle is the engine that drives success. How is it represented in my logo?

The Daily Actions are the building blocks of Consistency. Where are they in the logo design?

I will answer these questions and many more in this episode of MindSets.

You are not meeting your goals because you are giving yourself too many days off.

These are days you have not earned yet. You are running your life like you do your bank account, over drafted & credit maxed out...

Social Media Is Not YOU...

This is an outtake of the full lesson on Self-Concept versus Social Self-Concept versus reality.
