Ep 210210. The 10 Step Blueprint to Gain Clarity and Reach Your Goals (REPLAY)

For those of you who have been following the podcast, know that we're getting ready to sell our house. It's been pretty busy around here, so we're trying to get as many people as we can over here to help. Tara's brother, Tyson, my brother-in-law, who I interviewed on the last podcast has been staying with us in our guest house, and he's been really helping us get things ready. And just a few days ago we said to him, Hey Tyson, we need more help. And he's like, okay, I know some people. So he's been bringing over his good friend Will who is also a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, and he's been helping us out for the last few days. So that's been awesome. Now I've only talked to Will for a brief second one time and yesterday he came up to me right before he was leaving and just said, "Hey, I just wanna thank you for the podcast. It's really been helping me out." And so then I was talking to Tyson a little bit more about his situation after Will left, which is kind of similar to Tyson's, I said, Hey, tell him if he listens to all the podcasts, that I'll mentor him if he wants. So last night, as I was laying there in bed and knowing that I needed to record a podcast today, I had all these ideas of different things that I could talk about on the podcast today, but none of them were really pulling out my heart. And I was thinking "What is on my mind right now? Will is on my mind. The people who represent Will are on my mind" Those of you who are struggling in life, but you know, there's something more. And you're just not totally sure how to get there. You just need someone telling you that you can get there and maybe helping, giving you a little bit of groundwork or things to think about. So that's what we're gonna do today. I am basically going to begin to mentor Will and let him know what he should do to get the success in his life that he's looking for.
