by

Need a do-over?  Need to take a Mulligan?  Feel like you want to start over?  What if things aren’t as bad as they seem?  What if all those “wrongs” happening in your life are just part of the plan?  There’s nothing “bad” really.  You just need to do some Radio Edits to clean things up a little and smooth out the rough edges.

Mordant visits Scott & Dawn Neisler and the AM 1450 WGNC studio in Shelby, North Carolina, laughing and chatting about what Scott needed to edit in his life when he went from working the textiles biz to becoming a radio-station entrepreneur.  Though not in the same studio as the rest, McFall makes sure to throw in enough of his own worthy wisdom and stories to help polish an already shiny episode.

Success Freaks #155 – Change In the Now

by

With Special Guest Bishop Jim Swilley

With so many Changes happening day-to-day, it’s difficult to keep up with what’s going on in your life – let alone everyone else’s.  What happens when the dream you once held so tightly onto morphs into…something else?  What if it’s worse?  What if it’s better?  What if it works out, but it looks nothing like what you were hoping/praying/longing for it to be?  How can you divorce yourself from the goals you’ve been married to for so long?  Doesn’t that mean turning your back on everything you’ve been standing for?  Won’t that make you…a failure!?

Mordant & McFall invite Bish In the Now & Metron’s own Jim Swilley back to Success Freaks for a candid discussion about what it means to maintain an attitude of non-attachment.  By advancing to the rear (or left or right), you finally relax that chokehold you’ve have on the way you thought things should turn out.  Instead, you  achieve your success by adapting, bending like reed, and Rolling with the Changes.

Success Freaks #145 – Planting Hope in Other Gardens w/Special Guest Derrick Duplessy

by

Often we run across those people who need a little help in their lives.  Whether they have merely stepped off the path to their dreams or gone the darker route of addiction, our first inclination is get in there and lend a helping hand.  Much to our surprise…and our chagrin – this often achieves the opposite effect of annoying them and pushing them even further off the path of hope.  How can we help those in need when what they need most is to want to help themselves?  Planting hope for them to grow later when they’re ready is the way to go, but difficult to master.

Derrick Duplessy and the Duplessy Foundation have accomplished just this thing and in this episode he talks with your Success-Freaky mentoring men about his personal path to helping those in Boston’s inner city and beyond.  Join Mordant & McFall as they chat with Derrick about the best way to lead people to their goals without pushing or forcing them to “drink your Kool-Aid.” [Read more…]

Success Freaks #137 – Modern Family

by

With so many different lifestyles coming at us lately, what we consider family has changed from “Leave It to Beaver” into “Modern Family.”  Though caricatures of real life, these shows represent real-life relationships that are happening all around us.  This episode, Mordant & McFall discuss what it means to move from intolerance to indifference to tolerance all the way over to acceptance of people and lifestyles that are different than our own. 

Join your Success Freaks as they chat with stars from the upcoming web series “My Two Black Girlfriends.”  Together they discuss their experiences with intolerance, differing family dynamics in today’s society, and creating a web series that crosses some many lines & barriers.  For those of you still growing up in a “Brady Bunch” world – where even actor Robert Reed (aka Mike Brady) would not be welcome – this is yet another opportunity to broaden your horizons from the safety of your living room or wherever you might listen to “Fenómenos de Éxito” or “Success Freaks.”  Enjoy!
