Helping Others be Awesome

Success Freaks #141 – Temptations

by

Temptation is the name of the game – and we all play it from time to time.  Whether tempted to cheat on a diet, taxes, or a commitment, we’ve all had that little voice in our head that says, “C’mon…try it…makes you cool and feels so good.  Everyone’s doing it.”

The truth is, if it’s detrimental in some fashion or another, it’s not that cool and it often doesn’t wind up feeling like you thought it would.  Just a few short moments of Whoopee and then “The Guilts” set it.  Nobody wants that…but we all go through it, don’t we?  Soooo…what can be done about these oh-so-common, often-too-much-fun-for-our-own-good situation?

Success Freaks #139 – Blowin’ In The Wind

by

This month, March 2014, on Success Freaks, we’re talking about “Being Human” – how, though going for the gold, we often end up in the gutter.

 “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

~Oscar Wilde~

Episode #139 covers the difficulty some of us have with being blown every-which-way – off course in the Bermuda Triangle whilst trying to navigate the storms.  Tempests often brought on by our own actions and inactions.

Join Mordant & McFall as they discuss what it means to be unanchored and blown about with no direction and lacking the commitment to get you back on track.  Whose fault is it anyway, these storms that constantly blow us off our desired course – further out to sea, away from our goals and the safe shores of Ithaca?

Finally, coming out of hardship, how do we push through and survive the rough seas?  Listen in as your Success-Freaky men chat about Keeping the Faith, your Eyes on the Prize, and the remembering Winston Churchill’s famous quote “If you’re going through hell, keep on going.” [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!

by

Diving into February of 2014, Success Freaks is exploring various varieties of connections, partnerships, associations, and many other ranges of relationships.  This episode explores the Magic of Connections, beginning with the origins of the historically magical word Abracadabra, which, according to World Wide Words,  theoretically has its roots in the Aramaic phrase avra kehdabra: “I will create as I speak.”
