SF #188 – First… You Must Kill Your Goals

February 15, 2015 by Success Freaks

What happens once you discover you can’t be anything you want? What about your dreams to win a Grammy? Or be a basketball player? When you can’t sing and you’re only 5’3. What about those goals? We here at Success Freaks agree with Jon Acuff who says in his book Start that “Winning a Grammy isn’t your awesome. It’s not anyone’s. It’s just a result on a scoreboard.” And, we say to be happy, to find your joy everyday, First… You Must Kill Your Goals.

After speaking for years about goal setting, Mordant & McFall lead you down a next-level path of killing your goals in order to achieve joy! Join in for an hour of hacking, slashing, shooting, and slaying the very things keeping you from day-after-day of happiness – your Goals. [Read more…]

SF #182 – Remembering 2014

January 4, 2015 by Success Freaks

Sooo…what did you do in 2014? Do you remember or is it all mushed together in a haze of hopes, dreams, and woulda-shoulda-couldas? With so much hustle & bustle happening around us, it’s good to take stock of our year’s best accomplishments and attempts. At the very least it will give you a clearer picture of how far you have come in a year…. And, how far you have left to go in the next.

Join Mordant & McFall as they wax reminiscent about 2014. There are conversations about where they’ve been and what they’ve been up to over the past year. They even take a hard left to visit whether it’s good or bad to be trying out so many different things at once. As we draw nearer to the beginning of 2015, take time to stop, smell the metaphorical roses, and look at all you have wrought in 2014. What you find may surprise you…or fertilize your passion enough to get you off the couch and into something fun! This year has come and about to be gone. Let’s give 2014 its due and clear a path to 2015…together!

Success Freaks #83 – “Here You Come To Save The Day”

February 7, 2013 by Success Freaks

This month marks the beginning of “themed months” here on Success Freaks. February’s theme is “Relationships” and Mordant & McFall will tackle different types of relationship issues each week. Tonight this “Knight in Shining Armor” Comedic Motivational Show is all about the relationship you have with yourself, loving yourself, and being responsible for you own happiness.

The first step you must take on your path is to realize that you are responsible for your Life experiences. You are responsible for your own happiness. You, you, Y-O-U! For you to have the best life possible…or even just a better life, you have to accept responsibility for what happens in it and especially your own happiness. If you’re waiting for your “White Knight” to come to your rescue, you’re going to be waiting a long time. When it comes to “Saving Your Life,” you have to believe that the person best suited and most reliable to come to your rescue…is you.

This is where your journey of self-actualization begins. Start loving yourself enough to take responsibility for your Truth…your Consequences…your Life. “Every master started off as a disaster.” ~ T Harv Eker ~ When you become responsible you can fix whatever needs fixin’ in your own life.

~ Don’t forget to order your tickets NOW for our Success Freaks Alive! Level Up Your Live in 2013 which is our Conference we’ll be hosting in Covington, GA June 15 of this year. ~

SUCCESS FREAKS #82 – “VOODOO WHAT YOU LOVE”

February 1, 2013 by Success Freaks

In this day & age of 10ish% Unemployment, who can afford to “do what you love”? I say, in this day & age of depression, who can afford not to do what you love!? But…what do “voodoo” and “doing what you love” have in common? Nothing really…It’s a play on words. A catchy title. But, there is a little bit of magic that comes along with “doing what you love”… not only magic, it even requires at least a mustard seed’s worth of faith.

In this episode of Success Freaks, your Voodoo-Hoodoo Comedic Motivational show hosts, Mordant & McFall, tell us what it took for them to get out there and do what they love. By doing what you love, you are living your life. By doing what you love, you are loving yourself enough to do what makes you happy. Do what you love and you’ll put some of that magic you had as a kid back in your life. That magical feeling you had when you could be anything you wanted. Back when life was fun and full of possibility…and…it’s going to take a lot of Faith to do it.

Your steps to Voodoo What You Love

1. Realize that you are responsible for your own happiness.

2. Choose your destiny – or at least a destination.

3. Create a Roadmap

4. Layout actionable steps

5. Carpe Vida – Seize your life

“Now go do that voodoo that you do…so well!” ~Harvey Korman as “Hedly Lamarr” in “Blazing Saddles”~

SUCCESS FREAKS – #80 – DORKS RISING – GUEST STARRING: KEVIN MICKELSON

January 17, 2013 by Success Freaks

Kevin Mickelson knew he wanted to be an author from a young age, but kept putting it off because it didn’t seem realistic. When he finally decided that realism wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, he put a sample of his work together and contacted Zombie Orpheus Entertainment to see if they could use a freelance writer to pen a new adventure module based on their hit independent film, “The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising.”

They liked what they saw, and his effort resulted in a chance to form friendships with some of his favorite independent film stars, as well as a high-profile freelance gig that put his name on the radar! His wheel-spinning days behind him, he’s now devoting his energy toward pushing his dream ever further and working to bring a piece of the larger gaming world to his home town of Duluth, Minnesota.

Welcome to the #1 “Here There Be Geeks” Comedic Motivational Show…otherwise known as “Success Freaks”. Tonight Mordant & McFall chat it up with their special guest, Kevin Mickelson, also known as “Gamemaster’s Kip”. Geeks and dreamcatchers alike will love this show as Kevin takes us from his humble gamer beginnings, the influence of one of Mordant’s vlogs, which gave him the courage to step out of his comfort zone, and onward to his successful journey as a freelance writer… following his passion to success.

Look for Kevin’s new kickstarter project soon: Berserkon
