Ep #93 - "What you are expecting determines whether you will or will not be able to see the possibilities all around you." This is a quote by Daniel L. Castro and I recently shared this on my Instagram page (@mattbrauning). When I posted this, the word from this quote that really stuck out to me was "possibilities."
I wanted to do an episode this week that goes into some NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) concepts. NLP can be thought of as the study of excellence, the study of success, but it's also the study of the language of the mind.
One of the biggest areas of language is called modal operators. There are several types of modal operators which is a fancy way of saying the mode in which we operate. It's how we walk through life and you are either walking through life in a world of possibility or in a world of necessity.
We go pretty deep into this concept and discuss the difference between possibility words and necessity words. If you're interested in this stuff and want to learn it as part of your business, grab a pad of paper and a pen and take some notes. If it's not relevant to your business, listen up anyways because you're going to learn a lot from this discussion.
This episode is dropping on Christmas Day so Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our listeners.

Ep #92 - In this episode, I sit down with Jay Fiset, a Canadian farm boy turned entrepreneur, to go into his story. Let me start by giving some background on Jay. He is a best selling author, master facilitator, and mastermind trainer and has been in the business for over 3 decades. Jay is a student of human nature, an avid outdoorsman at 5 star hotels, and he can see and reflect your life mission within 5 minutes flat of meeting you.
We discuss what it was like for Jay growing up in rural Canada, being left on his own to bike around town at age 12, and even how he started his first business.
Jay shares how he bought his first motorcycle with "bottle-pickin" money (you'll have to listen to learn what it means!!) and how he turned a losing business around with no outside loans into a 7-figure enterprise. It's an amazing story and you won't want to miss it.

Ep #91 - "Patience is also a form of action." I recently put this post up on my Instagram page (@mattbrauning) and it had me thinking. Patience has been such an important theme in my life that I wanted to take some time and have a discussion about it.
There are two different ways to approach life: Passive / Waiting OR Active / Moving. Look at the season that you are in for your life. In our lives, there is a time for moving and a time for standing still. What season are you in and are you taking the appropriate action based on that season?
I think this episode will get you thinking and provides lots of good insights. Take some notes on a whole page and enjoy!

Ep #90 - Matt Brauning sits down today with special guest Maddison Bullock, an actress, producer, and writer, who owns her own production company, Maddness Pictures. Maddison graduated from UCLA after studying pre-law and history, and has since entered a prosperous career as a movie producer and professional figure skater.
You've likely seen her on NBC, ABC, Tru TV, and even HBO's hit show 'West World.' She's made dozens of TV and film appearances over the course of her career and continues to be a featured media personality. The NBC Olympics featured Maddison's feature film, 'ICE: the Movie,' as one of the must see figure-skating films. She trained at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Figure-Skating and competed for Team USA with the Los Angeles Ice Theater. Additionally, she finds time to give back by serving as a young girls ambassador for the anti-bullying organization, Boo2Bullying.

Ep #89 - "Look in the Mirror. That's your competition." This was a quote Matt Brauning recently shared on Instagram (@mattbrauning) to quite a bit of feedback from his community.
The reality is that most people don't look to themselves to find their competition. Instead, most people look to 3 other sources which won't properly serve them.
In this episode, Matt breaks down the 3 sources most entrepreneurs turn to when looking for competition and why this line of thinking can create problems. It's a great discussion so take some notes and enjoy.

Ep #86 - Welcome to interview Friday where Matt Brauning is joined by special guest, Brady Patterson. Brady is the COO of Success Academy with an emphasis on online marketing, but today's episode is not about business. In this episode, we take on a more personal interview where we explore Brady's wilderness adventure guide side.
Brady resides in Canada and grew up in a family with nine siblings. We discuss his early childhood and we talk about how he got into the survival industry and how he followed his passion into the business.
He now does leadership retreats out in rural Canada and companies hire him to do survival retreats for team building.
It's an authentic and open conversation about what life has been life and what life is like for Brady Patterson.
