Practical advice and keys to unlocking your potential in life and business hosted by Dr. Kathy Gruver and Jason Mefford. Real, raw, and unscripted.
Today Kathy and Jason are discussing rejection and how they both interpret it.
Often times the fear of rejection can hold people back in life, and how difficult it may be, we can train ourselves to become okay with hearing "no"!
Once that fear is overcome we can open many new doors that may not have otherwise been available to us.

What kind of socks do you wear... If any at all? For an item that seems so irrelevant, socks are a great way to express yourself!
Believe it or not a lot of social constructs revolve around the socks we wear as a part of our entire outfit.
Wear a suit... Wear a tie... A lot of these dress codes tend to stifle our own creative expression, and today we discuss how you can show your unique side through SOCKS!

Today we discuss the difference between contentment and excitement. Contentment can be nice because we can enter into a relaxed state, but is there a point where we get TOO content?
Conversely excitement can be fun, but at what point can excitement seeking become detrimental?
Like many things balance is incredibly important, and in this episode we discuss finding that balance, and what that may look like.

Today we discuss what we were like as children and how those older dreams and ideas helped to shape the people that we became.
We all may not have become exactly what we thought we would, but regardless of that outcome, there are probably many ways in which those experiences shaped you just as it had us.

When people talk, do you actively listen without judgement? Are you asking questions because you are curious?
We are excited to have Corey Blake back with us to discuss how those two things can really make a huge difference in your relationships and your own growth. As with all #fireandearthpodcast episodes we go some places you might not be expecting: pain creates growth, how sometimes the questions we ask are judgmental and how to phrase it differently so others feel psychologically safe to share and be vulnerable.
