Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #140 “12TH ROUND LONGEVITY… (And Why Some of Us Never Quit!)”

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 16:14:20 -0700

New Announcement Coming Soon! Stay Tuned for More from Hamilton Sensei! In this episode, I break down the shift from short-term survival to long-term vitality. Here’s where it gets real: Aging isn’t the Enemy—Neglect Is We don't get "old"; we get rusted. If you aren't actively maintaining the machinery, you’re retiring before you’ve actually left the office. Health is the Ultimate Leverage A sick person only has one wish. A healthy person has a thousand. When your body is optimized, your decision-making, your mood, and your leadership follow suit. The "Biological Budget" Every late night, every skipped meal, and every ignored stress signal is a withdrawal. If you don't make deposits in your physical bank account, you’ll be bankrupt by the time you hit your prime. Recovery is a High-Performance Skill. In Round 12, the winner is often the one who recovered best in the corner between rounds. Longevity isn't about doing less; it's about recovering better. Your Body is the Temple of Your Legacy. If you want to lead your family, your company, and your community for the next 30 years, you must start training for the "Centenarian Olympics" today. If you’ve been feeling the fatigue... If you’ve been ignoring the "check engine" lights... If you’ve been saying "I'll focus on my health next quarter"...This episode will hit different. When you’re done, ask yourself: Am I building a life I’ll be physically capable of enjoying 20 years from now? Reply and let me know. I read every single response that comes through.

Your Leadership Sensei,

Roger B. Hamilton

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #139 “NO PROBLEMS ONLY SOLUTIONS!”

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 08:59:17 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #139 “NO PROBLEMS ONLY SOLUTIONS!” When the rain falls too hard, we wait for our turn to go outside, and we clean up the mess. When the sun shines too brightly, we cover ourselves to find shade. When the plans change abruptly, we adjust to the changing tide. When we fall down 7 times, we get up 8 times. When the thoughts that we used to direct us forward, turn into fear that impedes us backward, we settle down, meditate and get back to business. Whenever, whatever, however, whoever… we shake it off and survive it all like our durable ancestors did. Ours is a great life no matter what circumstances come about… We Can Do It! And when you find it hard to believe that… look at babies. They will assure you, if your heart stays open… that life always goes on, we just have to go on with it. Peace!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #138 “THE BIRTH OF A STANDARD!”

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 18:27:19 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #138 “THE BIRTH OF A STANDARD! …5 Important Ways Father’s Impact Early Child Development!” Companies have standards. Teams of all kinds have standards, including Families as the ultimate teams. At the head of true families are fathers and mothers or two individuals making continued committed contributions to a child’s or children’s welfare so they can grow to be solid, strong, focused, disciplined adults someday. Sounds pretty easy… but indeed as many have learned… not as easy as it looks. This episode explores what standards are and how, when effectively placed and followed, they can help all manner of people, but especially fathers make their way to accomplishing their goals of raising children to grasp the baton. My profound wish and hope and even prayer for our world is that we can keep moving forward with the kinds of standards that can make us effective and even proud. I for sure worked diligently to keep my standards in place. Peace.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #137 “BY ANY MEANS!”

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 09:24:50 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #137 “BY ANY MEANS!” …The Malcolm X Speech and Ossie Davis Eulogy! Good Sunday morning to everyone who decided to check in on the Round 12 Podcast again today. Last week’s episode was a presentation of the famous Martin Luther King Jr., “I have a Dream Speech.” When I decided to present this important historical speaking event, I felt it wouldn’t be complete without appropriate credit and recognition to one of the most important change agents the United States and the world has ever known… Malcolm X! This, his 1964 speech at the founding rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU), was the beginning of the end for him. Shortly after this event he was assassinated while speaking in the same building. Included in the episode are the words of his Eulogy, spoken originally by the illustrious actor and activist, Mr. Ossie Davis. Yes, there are many of us who heard about or saw the Spike Lee Movie called, Malcolm X, which received rave reviews… but even after all these years, this man Malcolm X is still one of the most misunderstood, revered and simultaneously reviled men of all time. So, I felt compelled to give this African American man, his fair and equitable moment here with me on my humble journey. My hope and my goal are to take historical perspectives like these and learn from them, so I can continue to do my part to Make Our World a Better Place to Live In. Wish me luck! …And as always, I wish you Peace.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #136 “KEEP DREAMING!”

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 09:43:51 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #136 “KEEP DREAMING!” …But when you wake up, get to work! Ok, here we go again. I have a sense of inspiration today. A sense of appreciation today. A significant sense of how my dreams of living a full and fruitful life must always be more than just dreams. So, I sit up, put my feet on the floor and don’t look back, because I’ve still got work to do… Maybe we all do. Welcome to the grind! ‘For what is each day but a choice between the right way and the easy way.’ But dreaming is still good. Dreams are where you rest a bit, recalculate, reorganize and get your beliefs and possibilities together. Dreams can give you the preview of things to come, or they can make you sort out the things gone past. Either way, when you close your eyes and chart your course, your ability to wake up, open your eyes, and build your map are essential to finding your way to the places you’ve chosen to go. GOOD MORNING, ALL… GOOD MORNING!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #135 “IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!”

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 16:02:34 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #135 “IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!” Ok, here we go… Another episode about the celebration of life! If you have been listening to this podcast over time, (or if you even looked at the cover sheet) you probably realize by now that there is kind of a theme. Here… A hang on, and don’t let go philosophy. A fancy word: RESILIENCE, which just means keep on going, in spite of anything. BOUNCE BACK… and when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on! If you’re going through hell… KEEP GOING! If you’re in a dark tunnel, hold on to the wall baby, and creep on through. If you fall and you’re lying there… “If you can look up, you can get up!! I told you last week to stay thirsty… I’ve been drinking my water properly lately… so the same concept stays true this week. Stay Thirsty, My Friends!!! STAY THIRSTY! Peace.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #133 “STAY THE COURSE!”

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:46:20 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #133 “STAY THE COURSE!” Episode Number 133 is entitled Stay the Course. Now guess what, I need to hear that too. This week’s episode was posted later than usual after a busy day, busy week, active Saturday and a pending calendar still full tomorrow. But you know what, I took my own advice and stayed true to what I set out to do. Naah, maybe my little podcast isn’t changing the world, but it sure is changing me! It's changing me into my truest self. The one who has analyzed and learned to understand who he is and how he is made up, and where his drive and determination comes from, and what matters to him most. We’re all just plugging along anyway, so it’s pretty-strong when we can absolutely “Hold Fast and Stay True!”

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #132 “WHAT IS SELF CARE... IS IT REALLY IMPORTANT?!”

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 21:09:45 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #132 “WHAT IS SELF CARE… Is It Really Important?!” Here we are at Episode Number 132. Self Care is an interesting and important point of interest indeed. If you don’t take care of yourself, then who will… your mother?! Not if you’ve grown older and have the new responsibility. Not if you have no one to call when challenges get tough. Not if you caught the flu and you’re lying there trying to figure it out. Not when you need to make a decision, and you can’t get anyone to make it for you. Self-care means looking out for oneself and staying on top of the things that need attention. It means liking and loving yourself enough to not question when you need to value your own perspective and needs. So, in the final analysis, just be okay with looking out for your own self along the way and be comfortable with that concept. It doesn’t mean selfish; it doesn’t mean any bad thing to any other person… It just means that self-preservation is the First Law of Nature! And for the growth, development and preservation of our humanity… That’s Just a Good Thing!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #131 “THE ULTIMATE POWER TO BE YOUR BEST!”

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 17:46:12 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #131 “THE ULTIMATE POWER TO BE YOUR BEST” Here we are at 131 Episodes later, on a humble Podcast that started with just an instinctive effort to add content to the world’s cynicism and disconnect! I like that I built it, and I realized that it wasn’t done for praise, it was done for personal perspective and contribution to one or many who saw value in its content. So, this week’s episode has reflection, strength of character, and that same old, consistent reminder to dig down, find your best self and have some fun pursuing the goals that make you happiest and strongest. If the reminders I offer leave you cold and feeling like ‘I don’t need to listen to this dude’ this makes me smile… because all it tells us, is that you don’t want to listen to the best of your own self! So please forgive me if this reminder type stuff is not your cup of tea… That’s ok. Remember, as you pass on by… It’s just me talkin’ to me.. and hoping that if you hear me, and it reminds you of something good. Then we all are better for it! If we get lucky… We may just find… THE ULTIMATE POWER TO BE OUR BEST! Wouldn’t that be cool. - Smile! – Peace.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #130 “REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED!”

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 16:46:42 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #130 “REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED!” The concept of remembering your WHY has gained a bit of attention over recent years. And this is a reasonable and important concept. It’s akin to being focused and remaining determined when the going gets tough or even when it’s going smooth, so you don’t fall for the okey-doke. So, reminders from time to time are worth investigating, because we all get distracted sometimes. We all are at risk of getting off track, when our train is powering forward, and sometimes we just get tired. Then, our dreams make us fall asleep, instead of the other way around. But it’s always possible to wake up and remember where you came from, so you can get to where you’re going. So, like so many episodes before it... HERE’S HOPIN’ YOU’RE COPIN’!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #129 “CELEBRATE AGING!”

Sun, 18 Aug 2024 16:47:01 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #129 “CELEBRATE AGING!” Yes, CELEBRATE AGING. Not lament or regret or fear or acceptance of false information or what THEY say about it. Like Richard Pryor said once in his amazing stand-up routine: “You don’t get to be old, being no FOOL!” Meaning if you lasted this long, you must be doing something right. So, this podcast episode celebrates those folks that may not be hearing strong praise anymore, or hearing how great a job they did. But as someone who has made his way through the dark tunnel and made it happily to daylight… whether recognition comes from others or not, it does not stop me from recognizing the wonderful accomplishment myself. This gentle reminder and positive topic for consideration is presented here from a Happy Camper, an OG, a Seasoned Player and a Grateful human being. If you have made your way forward or know someone else who has… give ‘em a hug and recognize in whatever way you like but recognize excellence when you see it. Then recognize it in yourself as well. Keep Moving Forward!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #128 “LEADER VERSUS BOSS!”

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 13:33:31 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #128 “LEADER VERSUS BOSS!” Ok. This episode is a Hot One! It has a bit of steam coming from its head and it could possibly stimulate conversation. Whenever we think or talk about how we treat each other and how we define our positions in the hierarchy of social existence, some people have varyingly different perspectives than some others. This always seems to contribute to us not getting along as well as we could, and certainly not being as effective as we could be either. The goal of this podcast is always about growth, development and some level of mastery. This episode is just another brick in the wall. Take a listen, think a thought, and come up with your own sense of who’s the “Boss” and who’s “The Leader!” Then choose which one you follow, or which one you are.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #126 “LESS TALKIN’ MORE WALKIN’!”

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 14:42:24 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #126 “LESS TALKIN’ MORE WALKIN’!” This week’s episode is partly about doing what you say you will do, keeping your word, and that you should make distinct efforts to not just talk about it, but BE ABOUT IT! This simply means that we have commitments to others that we should not waste time talking around or making excuses about, but remembering that ‘your word is your bond!’ And, we also have commitments to ourselves that are even more important to keep. One of those commitments is to take care of our minds and bodies. Yes, sometimes easier said than done, but the phrase ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’ comes to mind as a simple reminder to get in, and keep your body in gear. So, this humble podcast message is simple… Plan your work, work your plan, and remember that the possible reason we have two ears, and one mouth is so we can listen and keep walkin’ more than we evade and keep talkin’!”

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #125 “YOU ARE ENERGY!” …STILL! This week’s episode is for you. The reminder that you are full of energy… still! That you can do what you are blessed to do. That you can still climb. That you are very firmly still you, with no doubt… no it’s definite! “You know like you game like you’re reffin’ it!” That you have come a long way. And that YOU still have a long way to go! And, oh yes, you still have that raging fire in your belly, as you always have and YOU are a survivor. You are resilient, you are benevolent, you are inspiring and you have the tools and intention to make it to the places you’ve chosen to go. When you see you in the mirror… tell them I said Yo! Because we all seem to be thinking the same powerful thoughts…THAT WE ARE STILL IN ‘DA GAME! And the game has been, and still is… FUN!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #124 “ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS!” …SO, YOU CAN COME UP WITH THE BEST ANSWERS. What does this week’s episode title mean to you? There is one of the questions right there… What’s up with you?... what are your hard questions? And do they have answers yet? What Matters Most to you! What do you stand for! What are you working toward and how will you get there? Look at all the question marks in this Podcast episode introduction this week. It might be possible that here today, this Sunday, there are more questions than answers about some things…. But we may be more certain than ever about some others. I have found it important to check in with the person staring back in the mirror. I have learned from experience, that to Be Yourself is to Free Yourself from so many restrictions. Last week was a “Moment of Reflection” … Maybe this week is too!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #121 (LEARNING TO APOLOGIZE!)

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #121 “LEARNING TO APOLOGIZE! …And How Mastering This Art May Make You a Better Leader!!” What’s in an apology? Why does it matter if we do or if we don’t. Does an apology save the world. Is it more important to try to make amends, or is it better sometimes to be quiet and let’s things “go away on their own?” It’s been said that time heals all, and that if you wait long enough, everything has a way of working itself out …and better to ‘remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to speak up along the way and confirm it.’ However, this cross-section of thoughts and ideas are worthy of research and coming to a conclusion we can live with. Listen in to this week’s podcast and see where you land on the issue.

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #120 (HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!)

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 07:09:56 -0700

https://conta.cc/3XwXYvwWelcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #120 "HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” …And Make a Decision. This episode was based on personal perspective and the thoughts surrounding personal growth. In the final analysis, each of us needs to discover where we want to go in our lives and how we plan to get there. However, getting along with other people on the way is super important as well. I think this concept of building bridges and finding ways to connect successfully with others is an important part of finding one’s way to success. I’ve been told that being a beast, and being self-centered to climb the success ladder is an important key, but I have realized personally that I’d rather find things in common and work together, as opposed to tearing everyone else down to make it. Sure, sometimes you must fight for your rights, and yes, sometimes the playing field may not be fair and equitable, but either way… we must work with each other anyway, so we might as well find ways to meet minds. Being a father is like that too! You can’t always have every- single-thing your way and sometimes you are compelled to apologize for fighting too hard to be RIGHT on your parental watch. I’m proud of that particular learning lesson, because it makes me feel like I gave my sons a fair deal. Also, they have probably learned a few things from me in that regard along the way. “Learn from the mistakes of others, you can’t live long enough to make them all yourself!” Happy Father's Day, Men... we love you!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #117 "WHY HUGS ARE IMPORTANT …For Kids and For Parents," You know what, Children’s Mental Health Matters. How they feel based on how we operate in raising them is an important conclusion to come to. Are they alright? Are they secure? Are they having fun… and are they learning enough life tools and skills? This week’s episode just ‘touches’ on the topic of sharing love, spirit and hugs with your kids, so they are feeling the warmth… and how to maybe make some adjustments if they are not. This episode doesn’t intend to stress us all out about loving our families, but sometimes it good to remember and share what’s important and good about loving our children

Speaking of my child who is now a grown man… CONGRATULATIONS TO MY SON OMAR, WHO COMPLETED HIS FIRST 13.1 MILE HALF-MARATHON EARLY THIS MORNING!! I like this episode because it compels me to give Omar a Giant hug to share spirit and say BRAVO!!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #117 (WHEN SERVANT LEADERS GET TIRED …And Some Thoughts About How They Can Rest!)

Sun, 26 May 2024 18:11:42 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #117 "WHEN SERVANT LEADERS GET TIRED …And Some Thoughts About How They Can Rest!" This week’s episode means more than just a few words on a page. This one speaks to the tangled web that a public, private, family or organizational individual can wind up getting tangled up in, and bent out of shape in his or her efforts to be good and helpful and dedicated and reliable and for all intents and purposes a servant of others. Not a servant in a terrible and abusive manner, but just because that’s how it’s built; and they love the person, people or the task. But sometimes, we forget one important thing in this process… to service ourselves on the way too! Wow. Does that sound selfish? That’s exactly the problem, when you are the powerful Servant Leader who takes the job seriously, you AND EVERYONE ELSE can take your sustenance lightly along the way. Don’t do that! And receivers, make sure you check in every now and then too, to make for a fair and equitable LOVING Field. Then maybe sometimes, we can all remember TO SERVICE EACH OTHER!!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #116 (PERSONAL SELF DEFENSE …And 10 Reminders to Remember!)

Sun, 19 May 2024 15:47:08 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #116 "PERSONAL SELF DEFENSE …And 10 Reminders to Remember!" This week’s episode is based on a sometimes-objectionable topic… and discussing it may be considered a ‘Necessary Evil.’ Either way, the topic must be considered for understanding and awareness and when that’s done effectively, we seem to walk around and co-exist in the world just a little bit better. While we can never know when a personal threat or challenge may occur, we feel much better when our eyes are open, our body is ready and our commitment to make it home to our families is always a distinct priority. KEEP YOUR EYES ON AND YOUR HEAD ON THE PROVERBIAL SWIVEL… and you’ll be Just Fine!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #115 (SELF AWARENESS …And How Do We Develop It!)

Sun, 05 May 2024 08:01:52 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #115 "SELF AWARENESS …And How Do We Develop It!" This week’s episode, and its pondering question is more than just a random phrase. This week’s episode asks us, what do we see and know about ourselves. And are we effectively making the most of our awareness or just tolerating our characterizations of either: power and control or resignation and apathy. Inside of all of us is a sense of who we are and what we want, but have we taken personal inventory of what our true makeup is… and have we come to terms if we are cool with it… or not! Self-awareness puts us back on the path to see and be, and line things up in a way that makes the most sense for us; and then allows us to accept the wholeness of who we are. Once you can honestly see yourself fully and clearly, that mirror image begins to look JUST LIKE YOU!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #114 (TRUST YOURSELF)

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 15:05:58 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #114 "TRUST YOURSELF" Featuring: "I'LL BE AROUND!"... INTERVIEW OF MY YOUNGER SELF! (REPEAT EPISODE) As I have learned to negotiate the twists and turns of my full life, I believe I have come to a good place, and I hope to keep going because I am enjoying the journey more than ever now. And after my interview last week with my dear son, Omar as Co-Host, I realized that he had come a long way, and is at a good place too! For some reason, that makes me take a pause for a few moments of reflection. And, if you're a parent, or connected good friend or loved one of someone else that you have done right by, and they're ok... and You're OK... then maybe you can give yourself a figurative pat on the back for staying true. Makes me want to shout out my younger son, Ali here too in the same breath, because he is firing on all cylinders as well. (We wrestled on the mat a few rounds yesterday!) I know that I would not be where I am today, without all the various, cross-section of experiences I’ve had to get me here. What would YOU tell your younger self? How could you affect your own life if you could council yourself THEN! Well, what comes to me now is that if I was able to get my two babies over the road to manhood standing up... Then maybe this episode is firm proof that when you believe in the quality of your life, and your purpose, and your drive, your determination, and your grit... then you should TRUST YOURSELF!... And, you'll be just fine!!

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 12:00:57 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #111 "KEEP MOVING FORWARD!" This weeks episode is a bit of a welcome back. However, since the host of this podcast was never gone, it's the welcome back to the grind, to the rhythm, to the focus and to the message. The energy involved in building and presenting this podcast event has been moving steadily forward in other environments and during other events; he just didn't talk about it. Now, we may want to engage more, discuss more and learn more. Resilience and tenacity have always been the messages, but today's episode investigates the concept of ENERGY and how we recognize it, how we utilize it and how we maintain it. Your thoughts and feelings direct your energy. And when we Trust Ourselves OUR ENERGY BEGINS TO DIRECT OUR LIVES TO WHAT WE WANT, AS OPPOSED TO WHAT WE DON'T WANT!

Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show - Episode #109

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 05:55:13 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #109 "MY SON IS GETTING MARRIED... AND WHY FATHERHOOD IS COOL!" This weeks episode is different than any before and probably many more after. Yes, it is self & son-aggrandizement, but that's ok. If you don't love your son or daughter or your family, well... You should look into that. However, I do love the dude and I have grown to love and care greatly for his girlfriend of 8 years, now his fiancee' and soon enough on their determined schedule to be his wife. I, and the supporting people around the couple recognize them, and I could not help but to also recognize how special it has been to be a dedicated father and friend to my sons; and how absolutely cool the experience has been. And so, my philosophy right here and now is... Keep Moving', Stay Strong, and stay dedicated to what you love and what you believe in. And me, I Believe in Angels... I know they have watched over me from the other side for a long time! THANK YOU ANGEL FAMILY!!

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 11:18:16 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #105 “CELEBRATE YOU!” This episode is so wonderfully selfish and inspired by the other side of the pillow. The cool side of life that reminds you that you are important… yes, YOU! Not just ME… You, TOO! We human beings, we put so much emphasis on all the priorities and stuff the world tells us to cherish and then celebrate, that it’s possible we forget to smile back at that person staring in the mirror… and remind them that theirs is a Great Life! Yes, there is always WORK TO DO. Yes, there are always challenges to overcome. But on days like this, when we remember to holla’ at cha’ boy or ya’ girl and let them know that everything is gonna’ be alright… nah, better than alright it’s gonna’ be fabulous!! Remember, Celebrate YOU… and then… CELEBRATE EVERYTHING! Altitude might very well begin with GRATITUDE! … Just a thought.

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 15:34:32 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #104 “IS IT EVER TOO LATE?!” This episode represents the re-kindle, the re-start, the renew and the JUST DO! All of those perspectives are ever present in our decision making, our desires, our goals and everywhere we are trying to go. Sometimes the largest barrier is our own self, our own procrastination, our own thoughts, hopes, & desire to get to it later. "It's never too late" is the phrase. More importantly, it's the thinking. Every now and then, one of us needs to remind the rest of us that: you don't win when you don't even get in the game! "Father Time Is Undefeated!" He will knock you out every time, if you don't keep your hands up. When you only THINK ABOUT moving forward and don't do it, you set yourself up to let time run out on you. If you fell off, get back on. If you talked yourself out of it, talk to yourself again. If you think you have all the time in the world... YOU DON'T! Let's Keep Going...

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 18:57:58 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #103 “NEVER QUIT!” This is a uniquely special episode, because it’s partly in honor of the announcement toward my new Audible Audiobook launch, and my youngest son moving on to his own residence in his own way. I have realized that there are so many lessons to learn in this life, and one of those lessons has to do with “seeing things through!” There is magnificence in the idea of forging forward, (holding-fast and staying true), then just being accountable for your commitments, your goals, your pursuits, your dreams, and your life. I’m old enough now, but still young enough too, to realize that you don’t have to know everything that comes next, and you don’t have to have everything figured out this very second... JUST KEEP GOING. That’s really the key. Go with the flow, but in my case, I go with an experienced flow. And that makes it pretty cool. Here’s to Believing AND Achieving... One follows the other!

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 13:53:23 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #99 "UNDERSTAND THE UNDERDOG... OVERSTAND HIS PASSION!" It might interest you to know that underdogs are doing increasingly well in the world. In some of the strangest places, and in some of the most profound ways, Underdogs prevail. Generally speaking, individuals or groups who are at a disadvantage – whether measured in the form of lack of resources or allies – are many times able to prevail against overwhelming adversaries. Let's take a listen to some concepts worth reviewing... as a tribute to those of us who have put in the work, and who care about the result, and are willing to fight for what we believe in and receive what we have earned!

The Round 12 Show: MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Episode #98 STAY CALM, STAY CENTERED, STAY FOCUSED

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 14:09:05 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #98 "STAY CALM, STAY CENTERED, STAY FOCUSED!" We all want to stay calm when the pressure is on. We know what calm looks like but often times, it’s elusive to experience what it feels like when we need it most. All of us have experienced a situation where we went overboard, or didn’t respond in the most elegant manner. And while we kick ourselves for not being able to chill, we definitely know we could have done better. So during todays episode, we’ll take a look at the calm concept and see if we can access the tools and reasoning to pursue it. HERE'S HOPIN', YOU'RE COPIN!

Sun, 13 Sep 2020 15:34:43 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #97 "CHANGE IS GOOD!" I like the idea of change, and the marvelous results that can come from it. However, sometimes change does not work out the way we want or expect… But I still have found it to be necessary if I am to grow. And like me, some people thrive on change; while others will do all they can do to resist it. Here’s the question, are those of us who think that change is a good thing, always right? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CHANGE? Let's explore the topic and see...

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 14:44:51 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #95 "WHAT IS A HERO!" A hero is the person who stays strong even when facing a serious problem. A hero will find numerous ways to help other people. Any person can be called a hero when saving someone else’s life. (That one is obvious.) But the person who motivates other people to live their lives with courage and face all the difficulties with their head held high, can be a hero as well. Remember to give your HERO's their flowers while they yet live... so they can see the beauty that they bring!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #93 "MENTAL STRENGTH! ...How To Build It, and How To Keep It!"

We forget about our passions and our dreams. We forget who we are and who we have worked to be. Instead of living in hope and wonder for the future, we cast shadows upon our own destiny because of fear, and the fear of fear, and the fear of failure. This episode explores Mental Strength and how we stay the course. Remember, there are always empowering ways to approach challenge... RESPECT YOURSELF for all you have done... and Stay Strong!

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 13:37:23 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #92 "THE POWER OF PLAY!" Play allows us to learn how to be creative and helps nurture critical thinking, personality development, and adaptive pathways for us in childhood. The benefits of play are far-reaching, but we often give up play as adults for more serious pursuits such as our careers, our relationships, and our families—all of which are valid pursuits. But what if we could tap into play to enhance our life experiences, our professions, our relationships, and our family lives as adults as well? Take a listen to this weeks episode, as the reminder to KEEP PLAYING! "Play Is The Highest Form of Research." - Albert Einstein

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #90 "I WAS BORN AT NIGHT... BUT IT WASN'T LAST NIGHT!" This weeks’ episode examines studies that show how we make snap judgments about competence, and value based on facial features denoting trustworthiness and dominance. These initial judgments color our perceptions about the individual or individuals like them from then on. While researchers found that the "most trustworthy" perceived faces had certain characteristics... they also determined that we should be wary of The Split-Second Judgment... BECAUSE SMILING FACES & FEATURES, DON'T ALWAYS TELL THE WHOLE STORY!

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #66 "DO YOUR BUSINESS... BUT ENJOY YOURSELF TOO!” Honestly, no matter how hard you work, without adding a sense of play in the mix, you may never enjoy the truest fruits of your labor. This weeks episode suggests multiple ways to go about the business of just that. Smile a lil' bit, laugh a lil' bit, joke a lil' bit, and look with strength and focus toward what’s good and not so much what’s not! Success is not always the final destination or accomplishment. Sometimes it’s simply the effort and the intention. Let the chips fall where they may and give it your best shot… The rest will work itself out in due time. Stay your course, live your creed. Your time will come.

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Episode #59 "UNDERSTANDING YOURSELF! ...

And maybe even get a renewed perspective. “A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.” ― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh Intro & Outro Music Provided by...

Sun, 24 Mar 2019 15:18:11 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! EPISODE #20! Today we emphasize the concept of BELIEVING! Not hoping, not wishing... but deep down in your gut KNOWING! On this journey of mine, I have learned to never be afraid of obstacles, difficulty or struggle… as the nineteenth century abolitionist and escaped slave, Frederick Douglass said: "Without struggle there is no progress." And as the philosopher of the same century, William James wrote: "It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all." KEEP ON MOVIN' Y'ALL... DON'T STOP!

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 11:14:07 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! EPISODE #19! We have forged a trail here. 19 times, the expression of one man and his thoughts, his perspectives and a touch of his history has been laid out before you. In the truest sense, this is merely a celebration of his life and the lives of others. A message to all of us, that our life is important and we should embrace it like hugging our grandmother... real tight and with lots of love! "Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.” - Dr. Seuss

Sun, 10 Mar 2019 16:04:54 -0700

Welcome back to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! WE ARE NOW SITTING INSIDE OF EPISODE #18! While the number of episodes don't matter as much as the quality of the content, this theme is ultimately important to us all. Effective communication governs many different aspects of how we live. Every now and then it might be good to consider: "That's why God gave us two ears and one mouth... so we could listen twice as much as we talk!" Toward that end note the merits of the intelligent tool described here: The Talking Stick is a tool used in many Native American Traditions when a council is called. It allows all council members to present their Sacred Point of View. The Talking Stick is passed from person to person as they speak and only the person holding the stick is allowed to talk during that time period. Remember to listen, so that what you say get's heard by who you want!

Sun, 27 Jan 2019 17:53:56 -0700

Welcome to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! Here we are again: EPISODE #12! Crazy! This humble little podcast idea began with an inspiration to remind us all that we can endure just about anything. Maybe the idea was not even that glorious after all. Perhaps it was just by design, a reminder to the host to remember who he is, where he came from, where he is going and what matters most. In accordance with our resilience and Never Quit perspective, this episode is one of (2), which will tell a couple of stories. Narrated by your Host, this adventure is cute, yet emotionally piercing at the same time. The title of this episode is: “Keep your eyes on the prize.” No matter what, no matter how… despite your doubts, your insecurities or your surrounding circumstances… keep your mind right! It should be noted that, there is a perspective on the rise here. This podcast and its content is another reminder to…”GET OUT OF SURVIVOR MODE!”… and Start to Heal Your Body! GET IN THRIVER MODE!... And you will do it! Sometimes, when we humans endure and survive the myriad stuff in our lives, we hold on really tight from then on. That’s not living, that’s not loving your journey. An amazing reality for your host is that I have evaluated and learned from my various experiences. Now, I don’t grip the steering wheel so tight when I drive. …And, I look outside the window at the scenery along the way. So, here’s my quick, final reminder… REMEMBER TO ENJOY THE RIDE!

Sun, 23 Dec 2018 20:18:12 -0700

Welcome to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! During this, our 6th Episode, we explore the phenomenon of: TEACHERS WATCHING STUDENT'S GROW! (With Special Guest: Mr. Garrett Sullivan).

The Round 12 Show: MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY (Supplemental Episode) KEEP IT REAL

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 17:52:57 -0700

Welcome to The Round 12 MOTIVATIONAL MASTERY Podcast Show! This, "SUPPLEMENTAL EPISODE, is one for the host! This episode is brief, to the point and makes the specific case for him and (maybe for you) to... KEEP IT REAL going forward. What does that mean really? It just means that it's better for the content and quality of this podcast and it's message if we simply offer who the host and his guests are as people with a story, then go-on about our business after that! I caught myself feeling too much like a corporate meeting and not a well-read Black Man with intense life experiences, but still honest compassion for others. That kind of balance is worthwhile to pursue, but sometimes difficult to maintain. Sometimes in the corporate/business environment we can inhibit our natural contributions and delivery because we spend too much time making sure we don't scare anybody. Stand by for some episodes that deal with this exact point... that you have be true to your real self, if your life is ever gonna' make sense in the long run. Just like this show's intro song... KEEP ON MOVIN', DON'T STOP!
