Here's the truth... Nobody has any business trying to help anyone until they have done the following... 1. Overcome ALL of their conditioning 2. Transcend their karma... (this life AND past lives) 3. Fast for 40 days and 40 nights haha! For real, here's what I suggest if you are struggling with this... First off... just so you know Mat, Aaron, and I still deal with this... (anytime we do something new) For example, I find myself comparing myself to really great authors. I'm writing my first book currently. One of my favorite authors is Ryan Holiday. Ryan Holiday is a multiple New York Times best-selling author. I read his books and think... Man, this guy is SO good! So clean, articulate, captivating, masterful! Do you know how small and inexperienced I feel compared to Ryan? Well, put it this way... Last night, I saw the movie "Ant-Man" at the theatre with my kids... Ant-man can shrink so small that he's able to enter the quantum realm! LOL Next to Ryan, I feel about half the size as that! What's been a game changer for me is... to focus on the people... (& not myself) I had the same questions and doubts when I started coaching for the first time as well. Who am I to call myself a "Coach?" I have no credentials... no experience. I still have PLENTY of my own work to do... (I'm a hot mess right now!) Come to find...In my imperfection... I was STILL able to be helpful to others. and that my friend is all that matters. It's not about hitting home runs every day or doing everything perfectly. It's about following your heart and helping others, as best you can. So what do you say? Are you going to let your doubts control your destiny? Or let your higher self take the wheel and get out there and have some fun! Helping others Making the world a brighter place! PS... Have you heard the exciting news? This June... (15th - 18th, 2023) Aaron, Mat, and I are hosting a 4-day LIVE Event... in Sedona! Sedona is a magical place that is said to be the highest vibrational location on the planet, perfect for our purposes :)

This post is for 2 main reasons: 1. To obtain your reviews of my podcast. Please offer blunt criticism. I have super thick skin and appreciate your views whether I agree or not. 2. To find potential guests to interview once I do launch. If you feel your subject might fit in and would like to be considered, please send me a private message so we can send an application. @Victor Oddo suggestion for finding some guests within FTP makes perfect sense and I already have several in line to do just this. Although my podcast is scheduled for launch on November 24th as I complete my website (which has been under construction for what seems to be a century - actually about 3 months), you will hear me reference my domain name which will only take you to my radio station until completed. I have included a radio station on my to-be-released website only to balance out my persona. I want my listeners to see a balanced Russ. One who talks about the deep shit, but also knows how to have fun. So please ignore references to website unless you wanna hear 70's and 80's music :) So far, I have sent this for review to friends, family and a few of our fellow members here, and everyone has provided some helpful improvement suggestions. I am hopeful as many of you reading this will chime in with your review. Don't hold back. tell me what you hear. The opinions of this group are super valuable to me since many of you are on similar trajectories. Each episode is about 6 minutes. Thank you in advance for your time!!!!!

I’m really having fun learning fun ways to interact and engage clients. Being my silly self is not typically done on my platforms much and I think that’s what I was missing. Full true self. Thanks to everyone for supporting this “hooker” in training 😂 😉

Hey my friends, Here are the notes from today's session, also the title PDF I mentioned as well. The homework... Dive into week 2! I would love to see you all... - Pick your platform (Instagram, YouTube, etc) - Create your first 3 pieces of content... doing your best to implement the strategy. With that said... I like to choose ONE thing... one technique... one new thing for each new piece of content... rather than trying to incorporate many new things at once... that can feel overwhelming. Example... This next post will have a great title! Then the following, will have a good title, and maybe work on your hook. The third will do both things above... and this time try to incorporate a good CTA. All references to the week 2 material by the way. Lastly... week 3 material is available if you are already established with your content creation and audience building flow. See you all next Saturday! Much love, Sincerely, Victor

My well-meaning mother would frequently express to me exactly what she thought of me being over weight when I was weight challenged. She would tell me how I “should” lose weight, and I “should” do whatever she says, because well, she IS my mother. As the years went by, I began to realize these conversations were really hurting me emotionally and brought up feelings of unworthiness. These type of one way conversations were putting a strain on our relationship. I dreaded our weekly calls and constantly felt I had to “defend” myself and her responses left me with a feeling like whatever what I would do, if it wasn’t the outcome, she thought it could be, then I failed, thus, I felt like a failure. In an effort to find a way to help navigate this relationship and my hurt feelings, I began researching how to build healthy boundaries in relationships. In my strict family we were always taught to stay quiet and respect your parents, so how could I express how I was feeling to her. On our next call, mom began her disparaging thoughts about my weight again, I decided to set a boundary, and it worked! I began to explain that I am the one who carries my weight, I am the one who looks at myself in the mirror and I didn’t need to her to remind me of this EVERY TIME we talked. Mom says, she was only trying to help and I had to tell her she wasn’t helping, she was hurting and that if she wanted to have a relationship with me, then this topic was going to have to be off the table. After a few minutes, she reluctantly agreed and while I had to remind her several times about our mutual agreement because she was crossing that boundary I created, I am happy to report this was successful and our relationship is better today because of it! I had to draw that one boundary, make it clearly defined and with conviction and then I could begin having conversations with her without being anxious or uptight about “when” was she going to bring it up again. Some people, especially family members may feel obligated to tell you your faults and project some well meaning tough love. Sometimes it may be warranted but other times it oversteps the boundary of loving and caring for you and moves to trying to control or manipulate what you to, how you think or how you feel. The first step in recognizing inappropriate boundaries and identifying where you could benefit by developing some healthy boundaries with those you care about. In my program, I can help coach you and guide you through steps so you too can begin to recognize your relationship boundaries, and build and foster healthy boundaries. My program will give you the tools and resources you need to begin having those conversations, because you are worth it! By doing these things you will experience a sense of peace, build your self esteem and confidence and feel your needs and feeling heard and understood. You will learn how to tap into your true self and help teach others in a respectful way, how you want and need to be treated to have open and caring relationships with others.
