Life is a story of choices, when we find our drive and purpose in life we need to direct them towards the future we see for ourselves.

It’s all about taking every opportunity you can and turning it into a learning lesson.

Change is a part of growth, and to grow as an individual in either our personal or professional lives, we must realize being uncomfortable is just part of the journey.

The main message repeated over the last year; no one can do it but you, so start betting on yourself so that in time others can too.

In today’s episode, Scott & Zach are joined by returning guest Michael La Sala, as they dive into the importance of taking every experience as a learning opportunity.

The group also touches on the idea of moving with the times or getting left behind.

Life is full of choices, some of the most important ones are how we choose to react to events in our lives. We often allow ourselves to never step out of our comfort zone because the conditions aren’t perfect, the problem is conditions will never be perfect. But when we allow ourselves to find the positive in any situation, we truly begin to grow and start to learn that the best lessons come from the farthest falls. Don’t focus on the bumps and bruises from the fall but rather on how you got there & how you plan to learn from this experience.

The two talk about some of the important lessons he has learned over the years & why it is so important to apply these lessons we learn as we travel through life. Life will continuously challenge us in new and unique ways, so we must continue to adapt and grow in new and unique ways. To do so we need to always have an open mind to learning and new things while remembering to be grateful for what we already have and have achieved in life. Remember, gratitude for what we have will always help us find a purpose to earn our keep.

In today’s episode, Scott takes the mic solo and dives into the importance of knowing the difference between one’s ego & self-confidence. Self-confidence comes from intimately knowing yourself and having the humility to accept the truth in situations to allow yourself to grow. On the other hand, ego stems from the insecurities that we project onto others. When we let our ego control us we will put ourselves in situations where we can control the narrative, however with self-confidence we will constantly challenge ourselves and prove to ourselves we are who we say we are. If you catch yourself having a hard time telling the difference tune in to hear Scott’s perspective.
