Among his proudest achievements is the fact that he was able to play for Canada numerous times on national and Olympic teams. With success came his own struggles with addiction, mental health, etc. Theo grew up in an era when addiction and mental health struggles were a reality but weren't spoken about. As a child, his home was plagued by addiction as both of his parents struggled with addictions. As a result, hockey became his escape from the insanity at home. That experience allowed him a number of dream opportunities but also thrust him into a realm where the wounds of his past came readily to the surface. A battle with his own addictions and his own mental health ensued and he learned quickly that contrary to what was modeled for him as a child, he had to talk about his struggles and receive help. A near-suicide pushed him to the point of seeking help and Theo has since become a staunch advocate for mental health and addiction recovery. 5 in 5 of us struggle with mental health, at some point in life Theo says that an extraordinary mindset is a common characteristic of the most elite athletes. At higher levels, everyone can perform athletically but those who excel have a mental capacity for figuring out the difficulties and persevering to win. That lesson extends beyond athletics into the difficult realms of life. Pain and trauma, in all areas of life, leaves us in emotional pain and suffering, which is what Theo considers to be mental illness. It's an emotional pain that nobody else can see. Most people use addictive behaviors to deal with that pain which pushes them down the path toward death. It's at that point where vulnerability and honesty about their own struggles and trauma start them on the road to recovery and healing. It's courage, and as others see it they develop the ability to talk about their own struggles as well. Listen to hear Theo's advice on how you can improve your own mental health, help others with theirs, and be a change agent in your world.

What are you willing to do to reach the goals you've been dreaming of? Would you diligently study your craft to become the best at what you do? Would you be willing to leverage the connections you make to push your dream forward? If needed, would you sell your own house? My guest on this episode, Kwame Damon Mason has done all of that and more. After a successful career as a radio personality, he began learning about the history of black players in the sport of hockey. Kwame felt it was necessary to highlight what black athletes had contributed to the sport of hockey and that's when his dream took shape: He wanted to make a documentary film about the subject… and the drive took over, requiring many sacrifices along the way that he was glad to give. All that work paid off. Kwame recently completed his first feature documentary film: Soul on Ice. It's a film about the amazing contributions of black athletes in hockey. It won "Best Picture" at the 2015 Edmonton International Film Festival and recently had its television debut on the NHL Network. Join me for this fascinating conversation about hockey, diversity, and inclusion. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Kwame's path to creating his movie, podcast, and more [2:47] After launching the film, the podcast carries on the mission [6:48] The most ground-breaking moments in hockey featuring black players [10:45] What inclusive actions taken by modern teams do for young black players [13:04] How Kwame's partnership with the NHL came about [17:55] Kwame's views on the road to diversity in the NHL [19:42] What's next for Kwame and the Soul on Ice podcast [31:39] What Kwame did today that put him in the right mindset for success [33:19] Resources & People Mentioned The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes Connect with Soul on Ice The website: https://www.nhl.com/multimedia/podcasts-soul-on-ice-the-podcast On Apple Podcasts On Instagram On Twitter On Facebook Guests on the Mitlin Money Mindset Show are not affiliated with CWM, LLC, and opinions expressed herein may not be representative of CWM, LLC.

Have you ever considered that it's possible for something you love, even a hobby, to become a business that not only supports your lifestyle but also serves others in delightful ways? My guests on this episode are sisters who did exactly that by founding a dessert business in 2015, Mini Melanie. It's an amazing story of how one of them carried a childhood baking hobby to great lengths (Melanie), while the other (Diana) became a successful human rights lawyer and then turned entrepreneur. Their success includes Melanie becoming a champion on the Food Network television show, "Chopped." Their goal is to create "luxurious desserts to celebrate every life milestone through every gift you send." Join us for the fabulous conversation about family, food, and customer delight! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Could a family business work for you? Melanie and Diana's story is inspirational [3:02] Amazing desserts that set the company apart [6:20] How the pandemic was an existential threat to the business [10:35] Scaling the business and making wise decisions as a small business [12:25] The "Chopped" TV experience and how it serves as a feather in their cap [15:20] How Mini Melanie works hard to "make their customer's day." [18:37] Why being a woman-owned business is important to Melanie and Diana [21:55] How customer-led dessert creation is part of the approach [28:40] Starting the day in a way that creates joy and sets them up for success [31:01] Running a family business is a passionate and challenging endeavor You may have heard horror stories about the challenges of being part of a family business. But Melanie and Diana don't feel it's such a bad thing. In fact, each of them has a powerful perspective on what it means to work in a family business. The advantages are incredible. They say that working with each other is a huge time-saver because they already have a level of comfort with each other that would take a long time to develop with another business partner. That enables them to move to a place of understanding much more quickly and advance the business without delay. Kudos to their parents, who did a great job teaching them to work together toward common goals — and to them for putting those lessons to work for their business. If you listen, you'll hear the synergy and chemistry that exists between these amazing sisters. Pivoting in the face of business dangers is essential to success As with every small business, 2020 hit Mini Melanie hard. The lockdowns that were announced in response to the COVID outbreak made it challenging, but Mini Melanie, being a New York City-based company (a city that experienced one of the highest outbreak levels of the virus), was hit especially hard. In this episode, Diana and Melanie describe how their business came to a screeching halt and the steps they took to get things rolling again. They made a rapid shift to an eCommerce business model and began delivering their incredible desserts to customers again, in new and innovative ways. They say there's no turning back, the boost they've received from the eCommerce aspect of their business is something that has created new opportunities for the business. Pivots like this are what make a team like this successful. Rather than allowing circumstances to dictate their path, they used the difficulty to find and take advantage of a new opportunity. "We are a family so we treat our customers like family" Every business wants its customers to be delighted with the service or products they receive. But to really pull that off requires an intentional approach and a mindset that is truly customer-focused. Melanie and Diana believe that the fact that they are a family business makes that mindset easier for them to maintain and express. They deliver family-oriented, personal service in every encounter with customers. For example, they have customers who have been with them through the varied stages of life. From engagement cakes, to wedding cakes, to gender reveal cakes, and delectable desserts for that same child's birthday, they are part of the major events of their customer's lives and wouldn't have it any other way.

When we think about professional athletes a number of things come to mind… elite abilities, wealth, and the pinnacle of success are among them. Greg Camarillo's comments about what life in the NFL is really like are a welcome peek behind the curtain to understand the day in and day out nature of what professional athletes experience. While he admits that his time in the NFL was indeed a pinnacle, he also realizes that the things that took him there are things that are available to everyone, in every walk of life. Join me as Greg and I discuss his road to the NFL, which started when he walked on to the football team at Stanford and how his first years in the NFL were tenuous at best. He reveals the struggles professional athletes experience and offers a way through the difficulties through open dialogue and humility. I hope you take the time to listen to this insightful conversation. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... A college football walk-on who made a great career in the NFL [1:22] Greg's mentors in the NFL and how they impacted his success [5:44] Personal ambition VS team mindset and how to navigate them [10:31] The confidence-factor that leads to greater success [14:47] How does a player plan for the average length of his career (3.5 years)? [19:25] The best advice Greg received about finances while he was in the NFL [24:04] Struggles professional athletes experience after their careers [28:30] What Greg did today that put him/her in the right mindset for success? [38:29] A great success question: Who do I see that I want to be like? Success doesn't just happen. Many things go into the journey there. Greg Camarillo says that one of the attitudes he's found extremely helpful is that no matter what role he's in, he finds people to look up to and emulate. Who is doing what he needs to do, who is doing it with excellence? That's who he wants to be like. What he describes is the old-fashioned idea we call "finding a role-model" and it's as helpful today as it ever was. Listen to hear Greg explain why role models are so important, how to make the most of them, and what can be done to apply what you learn in the best way possible. Consistency plays a huge role in success Greg Camarillo never expected to make it to the NFL, much less become a starting wide receiver. But one of the reasons he did was because he understood what the coaches were looking for. Put yourself in the coaches shoes for a moment. When a game is on the line, what keeps them from putting a young or inexperienced player in the lineup? It's the lack of confidence they have in that player. Can the player be trusted on the field? Greg says that the best way to answer that question is to develop consistency. And this doesn't only apply to football. When those who have the authority to give you a bigger or greater role see that you deliver good results, consistently, they have greater confidence that you'll do so when they give you an opportunity. So, how can you apply that mindset in the roles you fill right now? What happens when the thing that's provided your identity is gone? One thing I was eager to ask Greg was how an NFL player handles the inevitable reality that his career is not going to last forever. In fact, the average player's career is only three and a half years long. How does a player do his best every day, while knowing that the odds of a long career are not in his favor. Compounding the issue, players who do experience careers longer than the average face a handful of important questions once they do retire. What is my value, my drive, my purpose now that the career that defined much of my life is gone? Now that I've reached the pinnacle of a very elite career and am starting over at 30 or 40 years old, what am I going to do with myself for the next 50+ years? Will I ever feel the same level of excitement again? Questions like these often nudge players into a dark place and recent stories illustrate how important it is that something is done to better equip players for the day they leave the league. In this conversation, Greg highlights some of the great things the NFL Player's Union does for players and provides guidance for those who are leaving a life-defining career and stepping into the unknown.

Today's guest on the Mitlin Money Mindset™ is Stephanie O'Dea, New York Times bestselling author and slow living expert. In 2008, Stephanie made a New Year's resolution to use her Crock-Pot slow cooker every day for a year and write about it online. This simple idea resulted in 10 books, 6 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and a brand new career she could do at home in her pajamas. Stephanie feels that she's living her version of the American dream. She believes that at the end of the day, we all just want to feel calm, cool, and collected like we did our absolute best. It starts with learning to live slowly. Stephanie says we live in a pressure cooker world so let's be more like the Crock-Pot. Listen in to see how you might be able to live slowly, enjoy life, and do it on your terms. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Stephanie's path to becoming a best-selling author and slow living expert? [2:32] Starting a business 6 months before a recession [5:46] With 353 dinners did Stephanie ever run out of ideas? [7:13] Slow vs Instant cookers [10:26] What is slow living all about? [13:25] What kind of mindset do people need to live slower [16:25] Actionable things you can do to move towards a slow living lifestyle [18:04] The Tony Robbins for moms [22:13] The mindset needed to take a passion and turn it into a successful business [26:05] What Stephanie did today that put her in the right mindset for success? [30:39] Becoming a slow living expert and launching a lifestyle How did Stephanie end up on a path to becoming a New York Times bestselling author and slow living expert? Stephanie says she's mostly a mom. She has three children and needed to find a legitimate way to work from home while raising them. In 2008, she made a new year's resolution to use her Crock-Pot slow cooker every day for a year and write about it online. Stephanie wanted to learn how to run a website, she wanted to write and find a way to force herself to write every day. She was drawn to the idea of a New Year's resolution because it had an end date. However, the site took off and book publishers started calling. Stephanie ended up on TV and all of it sort of snowballed in this cool way AND she still got to stay home with her kids. While making more than enough money to support her family. What is Slow Living? Slow living is a feeling. Stephanie doesn't like the hustle, do more, be more, achieve more, go, go, go, life. She says a lot of times people are trying to cram so much in that they forget that life is long and you might as well enjoy it. There's no reason to over-schedule and over-burden yourself. Stephanie explains a lot of people underestimate what they can get done in a week so instead of scheduling it out in a nice, slow, methodical way, they over-schedule themselves, and then because of that, they don't get it all done. Then they are always trying to play catch up and it doesn't feel right. Stephanie tells moms they have to pay themselves first. For Stephanie, that means getting up at 4 am and giving herself an hour before the craziness of life and family start. Where she is alone in the kitchen with her coffee and nice-smelling candle and she's able to journal and think. If that seems ridiculous to you, then just start shifting forward, but give yourself at least a half-hour to an hour to remember who you are as a human before you start essentially firefighting all day long. The mindset needed to turn a passion into a business What is the mindset needed for the moms and people listening to take their passion, something they like doing and turn it into a successful business? Stephanie thinks one of the better things she did was giving it a whole year. She had an idea for a New Year's resolution and she stuck to it. Stephanie says sometimes people have great intentions, but they don't follow through. The execution gets muddied because they give up and it takes a long time to get the ball rolling and to feel comfortable with what you're doing. Eventually, success can be reached for almost any idea and anything, if you just stick with it and follow your gut and your intuition. So a follow-through mindset is highly recommended and if you don't know if you have that Stephanie can help!
