SF #217 – Patience, Grasshopper

by

When nothing seems to be working, is it you or the universe?  Mordant & McFall hit “Do Something” vs “Patience” and explain why they are both right.

This week on Success Freaks, the guys help you practice patience with a little An-tic-i… Pation!  Then, they stop making you wait and actually talk about Patience.  The chatroom starts a discussion about “Being ready, WHILE being impatient.”  In the Level Up, we caution you to be careful what you ask for… and teach you not to jump to “knee jerky” conclusions.  And, in On Beyond, we dive into the mechanics of “Mordant & McFall.” [Read more…]

SF#177 – Down The Rabbit Hole

by

Should you stay safe and comfortable in your life – especially since everything is working great?  Or is it better to seize the adventure, mixing things up and initiating the changes you’ve been yearning to experience?  When not “rocking the boat” means allowing complacency and lethargy to consume the time it might take to become your own hero, it’s best to throw caution to the wind and swallow that damned Red Pill of Possibility, and jump Down the Rabbit Hole.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall poke, prod, & preach about what it means to take chances and live your life to the fullest.  Moving beyond the relative safety of your couch, step away from the television or book spouting other people’s creations and create something awesome of your own.  You only have time to lose and you’re letting that slip through your fingers already anyway.  Why not throw your life into a little turmoil and, quite possibly, become the star of your own story instead of watching/reading about the heroes in someone else’s?

Success Freaks #114 – Finding Your Voice w/Special Guest Dave Jackson

by

How can you improve on something you haven’t even started yet?

 Though the answer may seem like an easy one, following through is an entirely different matter.  Many of us talk about how we can improve ourselves and what it would take to accomplish said improvements, but how can we improve on things that we aren’t even doing?

Finding Your Voice with Dave Jackson

In Success Freaks Episode #114 Finding Your Voice, Mordant & McFall are joined by their good friend and renowned podcast coach Dave Jackson as they discuss what it takes to “Find Your Voice.”  Whether it be “On the Air” or in “Real Life,” remaining true to who you are will help you find the “voice” that best suits you and your message.  Join these three podcast musketeers as they rehash personal stories about what it took for them to find their own “voices” and take those first steps towards Living Out Loud.

Success Freaks #79 – Mordant & McFall’s Excellent Adventures at NMX

by

“Ted: Bill, I think they want us to say something.

  Bill: What should I say?

    Ted: [shrugs] Make something up.

      Bill: Be excellent to each other.

        [room murmurs appreciatively]

          Ted: Party on, dudes!

            ~from the movie: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure~

In this episode our #1 late-Night “BlogWorld, Baby!” Motivational talk-radio show hosts (whew!) come to you, once again, from The Entertainment Capital of the World…Las Vegas, Nevada!  As New Media Expo (formerly BlogWorld) is in the middle of breaking down exhibits and the NMXLive! Conference comes to an end, for 2013, Mordant & McFall are hosting their second radio show in two days.

Joined by The Real PodVader himself (Jay Soderberg), the boys give us a recap of the “Excellent Adventure” they have been on for the past three…no, make that four…days.  Many new friends have been made, lots of knowledge has been passed down, business alliances have been formed, and PodCasting Royalty has been touched by the Success Freaks invasion!  The phrase “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” was tested as McFall regaled us with his “nightclub memories” and the unveiling of THE pen (my precious).

Among the many wonderful souls that were touched on in this show, we offer a huge “Thanks” to the following people (see the Highlights) who gave us guidance, reached out to make us welcome, offered support, and just were an absolute joy to meet as Success Freaks (formerly known as “The Other Side of LIVE!”) stormed the NMX/Blogworld castle.

Party on, Dudes!

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/Success Freaks #77 – Your 2013

by

This is YOUR 2013!  Work towards Goals…don’t make resolutions.

When most people make their New Year’s Resolutions, they are setting themselves up to fail from the very beginning.  So, set positive Goals instead of Resolutions and work towards them.

What Goals have you planned for 2013? We’re not talking about “Resolutions” here we’re talking actual Goals.  Have you set Goals you want to achieve?  Have you written them down?  Have you set actionable (baby) steps to help you achieve your Goals?  Do you have plans to keep a record of your daily, weekly, and/or monthly steps?

In this Episode our New Year’s Day Motivational hosts, Mordant & McFall, take us on a trip down memory lane as we remember how much The Other Side of LIVE! has evolved since the beginning of 2012.  It’s been a year of transition, growth and coming of age as motivational speakers, talk radio show hosts, and individuals.  Plans are being formulated for the TOSOL/Success Freaks radio show, and business, for 2013 as the show becomes “Success Freaks”, The Success Freaks System is created, the Success Freaks Conference comes to life in June 2013, and everyone on the Success Freaks team is gearing up for a Bigger, Badder, Better fun-filled future.  Goals are being set, steps are being made to reach those Goals, and, in 2013, Success Freaks will be the most exciting ride in the amusement park.  We invite everyone to join us on this ride.

“All we can ever do as human beings is react out of where we live.” ~Charles McFall~
