TOSOL #43 – Yesterday You Said Tomorrow

by

What’s it called?  That thing that you do when faced with a task that you really don’t want to do.  When you really need to have that serious talk with a friend, but you put it off.  You want to begin that exercise program, begin that novel, go on a cruise, visit another country, or begin working towards that new career you’ve always wanted.  You always say, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”  What is the word for it?  That’s right, procrastination.  Procrastination must be the simplest and most popular form of self-sabotage known to man.  It keeps us from becoming what we most want to be and, if you think about it, it poisons our dreams.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall tackle a subject we would all like to put off until another day.  With the help of the “Success Freaks” segment, discover why you put some things off as well as ways to overcome these self-imposed procrastinating tendencies.

TOSOL #41 – Make It Happen

by

Everyone has dreams, but often it’s a struggle to achieve them.  Bringing those dreams to fruition takes the courage to believe in yourself, the drive to move forward against the odds, and the ability to seize opportunities as they come your way.

Positive energy sparks contagious enthusiasm in the studio, spills into the chat room, and touches everyone that lends an ear to listen.  Mordant & McFall discuss events in their lives that have motivated them to take Life by the reins and make their dreams a reality.  With the help of this episode’s caller, LaLa Zigfreid, you’ll be inspired to dig deep within yourself and tap that inner strength we all possess to “Make It Happen.”

TOSOL #39 – Discovering Plan B

by

 

Benjamin Franklin said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”  The only thing you can truly count on is, at some point, life is going to throw a hiccup into your normal routine that threatens to ruin your day and/or stop you in your tracks.  How will you handle it?  You can panic or…you can use the time to discover your own Plan B.

In a mad-capped hour of pure-adrenaline A.D.D. overload, Mordant & McFall discuss their recent “life hiccups,” share how they overcame said obstacles as well as the things they learned about themselves along the way, all the while bouncing through talk about friends’ new businesses, William Shatner, Glee, “Squirrel Boy,” babies, storms, Instagram, Get Glue, Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, exchanging gifts, and anything else that pops into their “amusement-park-ride” brains.  Keep up if you can.  (Ten points for Gryffindor if you can say all that in one breath.)

This month’s Success Freaks segment, Uncovering Your Special Talent, rounds out the hour by letting you figure out what brings you the greatest joy at work and leads you to that success you’ve always dreamed of.

TOSOL #35 – Life Missions

by

Where do you come from?  Where are you going?  In tonight’s episode of “The Other Side of LIVE!,” Mordant & McFall help you to discover your “Life Missions” as they journey through another Success Freaks chapter of Double Your Income Doing What You Love…with a side of life realization thrown in for spice.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out what YOUR “Life Missions” are…and then take the necessary steps to achieve them. McFall wants to be the Jim Henson of podcasting while Mordant wants to leave the world a far better place than it was when he got here.

This episode is filled with discussion about the right & wrong ways to pursue your passions.  Othoron calls in with his thoughts and Rockgiirl shares her fabulous quote—all of which gives everyone food for thought on how to baby-step their way to a successful future.

Mordant & Charles begin the festivities by trading barbs about gift-giving choices for the little woman.  Then, in front of an in-studio audience of one, namely @ItsKeerstin, the men of TOSOL explore Chapter 2 from Double Your Income Doing What You Love.  Using Raymond Aaron’s Annual Love Letters method of “yelling” at each other, they unearth their uncensored lists of what they truly love in this world.

The atmosphere soon becomes optimistically charged when MxM (that’s Mordant & McFall) share “Success Stories” about themselves and a few choice people they know.  Somehow proving that they get to keep their “man cards” and the future.
