SF #209 – Marathon versus Sprint

by

Should you cut back when the going gets tough?  Circle ’round and begin again just to feel the “buzz” of early success?  Or, would it better to continue on, slogging it out through the trenches of difficulty at the heights of your uphill climb?  Welcome to the #1 “Run, Forrest, Run” Comedic Motivational Show…otherwise known as “Success Freaks.”  This episode, Mordant & McFall tackle the frustrations of learning patience and perseverance while building your dream.

SF #181 – Happy Holidaze 2014

by

‘Tis the season to be…grumpy?  During this holiday season, do you find yourself spouting Bah Humbug more often than Merry Christmas?  Do thoughts of family dinners this Christmas Holiday stir up more feelings of dread than visions of sugarplums dancing in your…well, you know.  If you find yourself in a quandary about Kwanzaa, a huff about Hanukkah, or exasperated about X-mas, then this is the show for you.

With a birthday just past and Christmas around the corner (when this episode was recorded), Mordant & McFall tackle the slippery slope of the Holiday Spirit and the meaning(s) of Christmas.  Is Santa Claus truly for everyone… or only the less-enlightened, more materially-minded masses looking to horn in on a religious holiday?  Your Level Up Guys go back and forth on this one, chucking Christmas cheer and tongue-in-cheek tinsel all over the Holiday Season.  Give a listen and decide for yourself whether they are being Naughty or Nice.

Happy Holidaze & God Bless Us, Every One!!! [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!

Success Freaks #126 – Family First

by

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…]

Success Freaks #105 – What Is Freedom?

by

What is freedom? Is it possible that we have too much freedom and is it a bad thing? In this episode, Mordant & McFall chat about what the true meaning of freedom is. Whether it’s the political aspect or your own personal freedoms, what does this word mean? Is it the right to make your own decisions? Is it a lack of restraint? Or is it being able to walk down the street with whomever you want, wearing and saying whatever you want?

So say “I CAN” and take advantage of your freedom. Use that freedom and make the choice to listen to Mordant & McFall discuss the many freedoms we didn’t realize we had. Listen to their personal stories of freedom and decide whether you agree or disagree with what they think freedom is. Go ahead – it’s a free country.
