The Best Beyond the Rut Moments of 2017 – Btr 113

Beyond the Rut in 2017Beyond the Rut is a podcast about encouraging, inspiring, and equipping you to make your own path and live the life you've always dreamed of beyond the rut.Many of our listeners have expressed over the years how they have a good job, they love their families, but life somehow seems to be an unfulfilled rut. There is something more they have dreamed of for their families and struggle to find a way to pursue that.Those dreams vary from person to person, because we are each a unique creation.That's where Beyond the Rut comes in. We have had the pleasure and honor to hold conversations with people just like you who have found their own paths. Our hope is that these stories have in some way helped you take that first step or that next step to reaching your dreams.We are sharing with you in this episode our five favorite moments from all those interviews conducted in 2017. This was a tough list to come up with as we felt all our interviews were great. These five clips, however, encapsulate what our message has been about: Find a creative way to fund your dream and move forward anyway. You aren't meant to make everyone happy. Apply your special gifts and talents to meet a special need. Find great coaches and mentors to propel you on your journey. Help others. Others will help you, too. There is no excuse to not learn what you need to know and make someone else's job easier.Special ThanksWe'd like to give special thanks to Sara McDaniel, Patti Centeno and Jody Maberry who connected us with these great people. This show would not have been able to share the wisdom of anyone we interviewed in 2017 with people like you sharing your circles of influence with us.Links and ResourcesBtR 107 - Travel Tall Homecoming with Eric GiulianiBtR 091 - Discarding the Myth of the Starving Artist with Jeff GoinsBtR 082 - Energize Your Way Out of a Job Jail Rut with Dondi ScumaciBtR 075 - Lisa Reynolds on Leading through RelationshipsBtR 072 - Creating Career Magic with Lee CockerellEric's website where you can see all of his travels, TravelTall.com.Jeff Goins can be found at GoinsWriter.com and also has a podcast called The Portfolio Life which is available on iTunes, Stitcher and Google Play Music.Want to energize your career, or have Dondi speak at your next company training?

Insights from Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture – BtR 111

The Last Lecture by Randy PauschThe Last Lecture, wrote by Randy Pausch in his final days battling metastasized cancer, shares his message to readers about living a full and purposeful life.The sad truth is that the United States population experiences a 100% mortality rate in life. You can actually say this is a global issue. We all die eventually, and there is no stopping it although we will delay its coming as best as possible.What will you do with the time you do have on this Earth?"God intended for you to live a life abundantly." Brandon CunninghamBrandon and Jerry discuss their lessons taken from reading The Last Lecture around the following questions: What are you focused on right now that doesn't really matter in your life? How do you set priorities on what matters most? How do you set the right boundaries to protect what matters most? You don't have to be plugged into communication technology 24/7?! What are you reading or learning that is adding to your personal and professional growth?"When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long."
