SF #239 – Playing It Forward

March 8, 2016 by Success Freaks

We all know that helping others can be work, but what can happen when you use your “me” time to help others? Mordant & McFall talk about, instead of viewing helping as something unaffordable or time-consuming, how about finding it where you are?

This episode is all about helping others be awesome. We dive into a plethora of ideas for helping those in need. It’s up to you to find unique ways to help them out. Dare adventure while putting yourself out there and helping others along the way. And, don’t forget to level yourself up. Start small and build on habits that get you closer to the next level. Now buckle up and hang on while we propel you towards where you, and others you can influence, want to be.

Success Freaks #126 – Family First

December 3, 2013 by Success Freaks

The month of December heralds a time of holiday get-togethers with friends and family alike. It is a time of joy, holiday cheer, and smiles across the table… But, not always, right? Sometimes “bad blood” and hurts long buried rise from the grave like Christmas zombies to gnaw the flesh off what should be a happier time.

In this episode of “Success Freaks,” Mordant & McFall wax candid about their family upbringings, holiday experiences, and the reality of their “obligations.” Delving into how these “family affairs” helped mold them into the men they are today, they explore what it means to grow from their original nuclear family to create ones of their own. As well as, how the “ghosts of holiday experiences past” are affecting them in the present and into future. [Read more…]

TOSOL #76 – Two Guys, One Christmas

December 28, 2012 by Success Freaks

“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.

TOSOL #71 – Family Matters w/Guest Host LaLa Zigfreid

November 23, 2012 by Success Freaks

TOSOL-071 – 2012.11.20 – Family Matters – with Guest Host LaLa Zigfreid – PIC

This is the time of year when families gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s or whatever holiday you customarily honor. How do you handle the stress of the holidays? Do you spend your entire holiday season rushing around to different family-member’s houses just to appease everyone? If you don’t go, does your family send you on endless guilt trips by trying to make you feel like you don’t care about them? Have you ever wondered how you could find a middle ground so you could stay at home and celebrate with your own family and, for once, enjoy your holiday time without alienating other family members or feeling pressured?

Mordant takes a night off as McFall, with his Guest Host, LaLa Zigfreid, discuss the trials and tribulations of “Family Matters” as Thanksgiving rapidly approaches.

Tonight Charles (McFall) shares his situation of dutifully suffering for years with demands from his family – eventually blowing up over the stress, the two years of silence that followed, and finally calling a truce that everyone seems to be able to successfully live with. Guest Host LaLa Zigfreid offers up her own experiences as an adopted child where she never felt a part of the family. LaLa goes on to share how she’s turning all her negatives into positives and getting so much more from her holidays than she once did.
