94. Generaltional Narrative

“Don’t be afraid to adapt new ingredients into your own techniques, and traditional ingredients into new recipes.”

― Jose Garces

I am SO EXCITED to share this conversation with the world… not only is “generational narrative” usually overlooked or not discussed at all, today I get to welcome 3 varsity humans to the T&T mic that are very similar AND very different from myself… and two of them are blood related to boot! So, we have multiple viewpoints represented on one not-so-talked-about-topic, my favorite conversations! Myself, Ashley Knight (welcome back, again:), Eric Mitchell (Ashley’s Uncle), and Reggie Adam’s (longtime family friend to both Ashley and Eric), run through the formal definition of generational narrative, our own definitions, and how it correlates in our current worlds. Why do we even need to care about generational narrative?… Tune in, we break it down!

We each share our experience with the importance of representation and how it directly coincides with generational narrative. We also discuss how we all work to consciously heighten the awareness and conversation around generational narrative, true self-awareness, and continued self-discovery. Generational narrative can be positive or negative, but the real value is in the awareness of what is authentic to you alongside those narratives, allowing each of us to build our own realities aka updated and progressive generational narratives inviting dialogue, conversation, and unity… cheers world, let’s open our hearts and minds to a little graceful disruption and authentic truths!

Highlights:

Generational narrative. The importance of representation. Questioning a better way. Core values and authenticity. Entrepreneurship. Tradition and evolution. Mindset and conscious learning. Similarities and differences. White privilege.  The next generation. Golf, modeling, and communication… aka #cardio .

93. Law Of Attraction PART 2

“Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is one of the FEW PART Twos’! I am so excited to welcome back Andrew Kap, best-selling author of, The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read, to the T&T mic! If you have been following the T&T podcast or any of my social media, you know 2021 has been all about focus and dialing in. I am on day 102 of the morning routing (mediation, affirmation, reading, writing etc… aka waking up with intention in a nut shell). Andrew’s book, The Last Law Of Attraction Book has been instrumental not only in my morning routine, but also in my efforts to maintain a gracious mindset, living a life of gratitude… as much as possible #GracefulDisruption . His book is packed with easy ways to dial into the law of attraction and consciously create the life you want. I was pumped about our initial convo and this one was even better because I have now read the book and can first hand testify that it works! If you are intentional and committed, anything is possible. Andrew gives us deeper insight on LOA, some pro tips, and shares what he does every day no matter what, to maintain his LOA on HIGH VIBES. Since we have spoken last (about 6 months about) he has sold 50,000 copies of his book and it’s moving fast. Yes, this stuff really works. Lean in and see for yourself, you’ll be happy you did.

Highlights:

Law of Attraction. Living a life of gratitude. Dreaming big, loving yourself with grace, and questioning a better way. Methods, tips, tricks, to get your hopes and dreams into your conscious world. Ego vs. conscious vs. subconscious. Commitment, mindset, trust, faith, and other pro tools required to make the vision a reality. Meditation and vibration.


BONUS: The Competitor’s Method:

That’s right, I actually came up with my own method of gratitude practice… by mistake, we actually I was being sarcastic ( #onbrand ) and the Competitor’s Method was born. One day during CrossFit class, we were lifting heavy mid workout and I was starting to question if I was going to be able to make any more of the heavy lifts in the metcon. After completing one of the lifts, I sarcastically said, “thank you universe” half-jokingly half serious… and it hit me, I should be doing this on the regular. Check out this clip for the full explanation and me actually doing it:). It’s a super simple practice that has made a world of difference! I invite you to try it… we are all competitors, competing with ourselves!

Andrew Kap:

Andrew Kap holds one goal above all others through his various projects: Genuine and Sustainable Impact. He often focuses on topics that many find overwhelming, and he then condenses them into actionable, more consumable content. His latest offering, “The Last Law of Attraction Book You’ll Ever Need To Read” offers readers a never-before-seen understanding of then topic — that no other “LOA” book has ever been able to do — by going the extra mile of finally addressing WHY people who get excited about trying it still can’t manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day. The book has enjoyed continued success, including hundreds of 5-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it. Andrew is currently based in New York, where he publishes new content daily.

92. Innovation

“Innovation is taking two things that exist and putting them together in a new way.“

-Tom Freston, Co-founder of MTV

 

Innovation (definition, Google): is the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness or competitive advantage.

The facts: if you are not actively working to grown, learn, and innovated, you will become antiquated (aka extinct).

2020 provided a shake up for everyone and there were some very serious losses AND some very serious gains. While we all hope to get back to “normal” soon, every one of us will likely carry over something into our soon to be fully free world that we learned to do better (or innovate) during lock down. When push comes to shove, we somehow figure it out. I am excited to welcome Mike Ham, Founder of The Morning Spotlight Podcast as well as the coolest guy in title insurance, to the Turmeric & Tequila mic! You might think- how do podcasting and title insurance go together, let alone benefit one another? We unpack the unlikely paring and how Mike leaned into his own innovative ideas to merge his worlds and now reap the benefits. This is an awesome cast for anyone living a Turmeric & Tequila life and wondering how to make it all fit together… IT IS POSSIBLE. Sometimes we just need a little motivation to broaden the perspective and shift the way we think. If it’s authentic there is a way to make it work and the world around you will be oh-so appreciative that you did! Cheers… add the turmeric to your tequila right now:)

Turmeric & Tequila on YOU TUBE

Highlights:

Questioning a better way. Innovation. Innovative ideas for all. Changing your perspective for the better. Trail blazing. Trial and error. Turmeric and Tequila. Breakdown and breakthrough. Finding your voice and embracing it. Reality is nothing more than applied meaning, create that meaning and make it a reality.

91. My Morning Routine 2021

“If you want to make the world a better place,

take a look at yourself, and then make a change.” 

-Michael Jackson (Man In The Mirror)

GOOD MORNING:) Today is a quick, straight forward, solo podcast- just me sharing my morning routine 2021 with you! I have been inspired to dial in the AM’s and wake up each day with intention and gratitude. I have been doing this for just under 3 months now and the added structure has facilitated exponential positive change. I share exactly what I do, how I was inspired to form my own AM process, and why I think the morning routine (whatever it is), is so important. I list all the resources below if you want to use them or parts of the routine or even just as ideas for your own routine. There is no wrong way to dial in your mornings and it can be quick!

If you like this routine (or anything close) I would love to hear how it has positively impacted your world- messages/comments welcome.

ALSO, I will be sharing a daily video on the T&T You Tube Channel sharing the daily quote (I will also be posting them on IG story, @madonnashero). You are welcome to join me each morning if this helps keep you accountable or you would just rather have someone read the quote to you:), you can even list you intentions in the comments below on You Tube if you so choose to… your words to universe’s ears! Enjoy!

 

My Morning Routine 2021:

  1. Pour a cup of hot water with a lemon slice (1 min)
  2. Read (and post) a quote from Hoda Kota’s book, I Really Needed This Today (2-3 min)
