SF #171 – BoxTrolls Parables

by

At a time where many of us are playing things safe, there are a few bright lights who stretch out beyond the relative safety of their known surroundings and security blankets.  Those who trade familiar and familial ecosystems for new adventures, daring endeavors, and “Wide Open Spaces.”  Are you such a person?  Wouldn’t you like to be?

In this special episode, your Success Freaks share a variety of anecdotes inspired by this week’s occurrences… as well as the animated movie “The BoxTrolls.”  Having just returned from the movie and giving it a glowing review, Mordant can’t help but regale McFall with how he believes what he saw relates to real life.  McFall gives a story or two back in kind and the resulting in a tongue-in-cheek episode adeptly named “BoxTrolls Parables.” [Read more…]

Success Freaks #95 – Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch

by

Tonight’s Success Freaks episode delves into remaining open to the lessons Life is throwing at you.  Paradigm Shifting Without a Clutch is about remaining ever ready to grow and learn, quickly if at all possible, from those uncomfortable situations we all face throughout our day-to-day sojourn on this rock we call Earth.

Whilst juggling the broadcast from two different locales – this time, Mordant from the Bear’s Den Studio and Charles at the hospital, bringing home the newborn Baby Zoe – the Success Freaks share some of their own ups & downs and how they’ve dealt with & grown from them.  Hop in and enjoy “The Fast and The Furious” ride that goes along with people opening up their lives for inspection.  As always, your Success Freaks remain vulnerable so that others might read the “American Graffiti” on the wall, sharing life lessons learned and showing others how to become a quick study on Life’s Highway, the better to make sure the tough lessons are “Gone in 60 Seconds.”

Success Freaks #93 – The Dark Side of H.O.B.A.

by

Success Freaks #84 – “On Beyond Facebook”

by

Social Media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ have been instrumental in people reaching out and touching the world.  However, these amazing connectors, these awesome uniters (which may or may not be a word) can also act like buffers, causing people to keep in touch more via social media than through face-to-face “real conversations.”

Is there a problem here?

Are we losing touch with humanity by constantly staying in touch digitally?

In this episode of Success Freaks, our “More Than Just Facebook Friends” Comedic Motivational show hosts, Mordant & McFall, bring up the subject of the life we all lead “On Beyond Facebook.”

 This is not to say that Social Media as a whole is bad.  Obviously, a lot of good comes from Social Media.  Friendships are formed, ideas are birthed and come to fruition, the voice of the people in politics—not just ours, but all over the world—is finally being heard.  However, we need to take things further.  On Beyond the buffer of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, etc.  Take these friendships we’ve formed, this social interaction we are enjoying, to another level.  Let’s not, in using our superpower of reaching out and touching the world, forget our basic need for physical human contact.

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

by

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.

SUCCESS FREAKS #81 – OWN YOUR LIFE

by

“We have been given talents, and we complain about our faults.  We make progress, and we remain cynical.  We have breakthroughs, and we continue to be bitter.  OK, maybe it’s just me.”  ~Doug Grady, The Ripple Effect, pg. 124~

Do you ever see opportunity…opportunity you’ve been waiting to arrive…it’s finally at your doorstep…knocking.  Knocking.  Knocking.     And yet you find you’re dragging your feet.  Why?

Tonight our “Carpe Vita” Comedic Motivational hosts, Mordant & McFall, discuss the steps that are necessary  to “Own Your Life.”   We all have a lot of opportunities coming our way…and that’s great, but we must be proactive and stop being passive-aggressive.  Don’t let other people or circumstances dictate what happens in your life.  Grab hold and get a firm grip on your own life to take it in the direction YOU choose. Take charge of your own ship and steer it to where YOU want to go.  Even if you have to “baby-step” your way through things, just do it!  Make that commitment and  Just. Do. It.

“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” ~Geddy Lee~

The show ends with an announcement concerning the Success Freaks Conference happening June 15 in Georgia.  Early-bird tickets are on sale NOW!

SUCCESS FREAKS #78 – Bushwhacking Success – Winning Through Persistence Against All Odds

by

Broadcasting LIVE from Las Vegas at the NMX Conference, baby! This “Special” episode of  Success Freaks finds the #1 Late-Night “New Media Expo” Motivational Show hosts, Mordant and McFall, in the middle of one of the most exciting, and nerve-wracking, times of their lives as they share their adventures in “Bushwhacking Success “ …or finding that “back door” (just like a Victory Ninja) in to where you want to be.

Today our Success Freaks podcasting duo enthusiastically discuss the trials and tribulations encountered on their path to becoming professional speakers, the road to NMX, as well as the lessons learned along the way, and how they use these experiences as they move forward. With a little help from a list of people that reads like the Who’s Who of NMX and/or podcasting Royalty, this hour is lively, fun, and a lesson in itself.

The race you’re running, the one that levels up your life enough to achieve your goals and change your world — it’s a race your run against yourself … and it’s a marathon — not a sprint.  Persistence is the key to Bushwhacking success.  Too many people quit, thinking they’re way off the mark, not realizing they’re just 10 feet from the gold.  You’ve got to plan your strategy, lie in wait, and then move when the opportunity presents itself.  If you really want to do something, sometimes you have to actually create it yourself!  This can be said for almost everything you do.

TOSOL #76 – Two Guys, One Christmas

by

“The party’s on. The feelin’s here. That only comes. This time of year.  Simply having a wonderful Christmastime…” ~ Paul McCartney ~

While everyone else in the world is busy spending time with friends and family. While everyone else in the world is enjoying a little time off from their busy lives and celebrating Christmas the way, ya know, you should … our Motivational talk show Elves, Mordant & McFall, are doing the one thing that no one else on their team is doing.  They’re chatting…on the radio … with each other, and Gitmo Slave (from the No Agenda Stream), about what they’re doing with their Christmas Day.

The evening runs the gambit from favorite Christmas Movies that simply must be watched, reminiscing about favorite gifts received as children, favorite memories of time spent with family, and what annual rituals people go through during this time of year. Mordant, McFall and Gitmo take the time to share of themselves with their listeners on this Christmas Evening.

Talk turns to the NMX/blogworld conference coming up in January and what TOSOL/Success Freaks has to offer their faithful listeners/followers in 2013.  And just what does the coming year have in store for everyone, including Mordant & McFall?  Public Speaking engagements, touring the country, conferences,  online coaching, webinars, and even a rebranding of the company. “This year is the year we’re really going to stop talking and start doing.”  This will be the year of “Exciting” for everyone in the TOSOL/Success Freaks/No Agenda Stream world and you’re all invited along for the ride.
