CJ Evolution Podcast: Microcast Monday - Get Clarity. What is YOUR WHY?
Monday Oct 26, 2020
Monday Oct 26, 2020
Hello everyone and welcome back to Microcast Monday. It's the start of a new week. New opportunities are ahead of you. Change your mindset and go after them. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who work in the Criminal Justice Field. Remember you are honored, cherished and above all you are LOVED.
If you love coffee, you are going to LOVE the products from FOUR SIGMATIC. From coffee to cocoa's they have it all. I am a big fan of the Lions Mane Mushroom Coffee and I bet you will be too. Check out their link at www.cjevolution.com . You will get 15% off your purchases using the promo code CJEVO.
Do you ever feel like you are floating around life with no purpose? I know I do sometimes, and when I start going down that path I come back to my why. I think about my path in life and why I am doing the things I am doing at this moment. If you know your why - Great. I am willing to bet that a LOT of you don't know your why. I think about the movie Forrest Gump and the feather at the end of the movie that is getting tossed around by the wind. That is MOST people out their. A lot of people are on their current path because of other factors. Maybe your parents told you to go on a certain path. Maybe you think you can't do anything else with your life. Maybe you think you are STUCK in the position you are in right now (Side note- I don't believe we are ever really stuck).
Take some time to figure out your why? Once you do that you will get Clarity and it will improve your LIFE. Success if yours. Remember to cultivate and develop your why.

So many of our brave men and women are suffering in silence and it doesn’t have to be that way. All you have to do is ask for help. That is the hardest step, but it’s not impossible. There are many resources out there for anyone who is suffering.

If you had only 30 days to live would you be doing the same things you are doing right now? Personally, professionally? I am willing to be that MOST of you said no. If you said YES, then good for you. You are really living the dream.
Why do you keep doing the things that you know are not going to bring you happiness or move you to that next level? The one thing you should learn about life, if you haven’t already, is that you ARE NOT leaving this planet alive. None of us are, so its time to start living your life.
Push aside your FEAR (We all have them) and start taking chances. Remember, you don’t want to be that person who is REGRETS a lot in the end.
The longest relationship you will ever have will be with yourself. Get out of your OWN WAY and start living your life.
I would love to hear from you. Reach out to me and I will respond to you.

Such an honor to have Christopher Strom on the show. Chris is a former US. Marine and Retired Sergeant with the NYPD Intelligence Division. In 2007, Chris was recruited by the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), a government agency that devised top-secret strategies for combating IED’s in Iraq in Afghanistan. As the lead tactical debriefing officer, he participated in over 110 combat missions and 91 captures of high-value targets (HVT’s) in Southern Iraq and performed more than 200 Battlefield Interrogations.
Chris details his journey in his best-selling book Brooklyn to Baghdad an NYPD Intelligence Cop Fights Terror in Iraq. In his book, Chris applies his street-cop tactics and interrogation skills against a lethal insurgency that had infected Iraq. A group of retired Special Forces soldiers and law enforcement experts came together to form the counterinsurgency group codenamed “Phoenix Team.” Exposing the corruption of both the Iraqi and US governments, the team faced serious setbacks and challenges. Brooklyn to Baghdad shows the effectiveness of Phoenix Team, their ability to process forensic evidence and human intelligence gleaned through interrogations at the point of capture to provide direct targeting for follow-on missions. This memoir also illustrates the politics of Washington, DC, and the US Army in the war-fighting effort, which continually hampered complete success while simultaneously preserving career aspirations. Throughout are many humorous and emotional anecdotes that reveal the men behind the missions and the toll the theater of war takes on real human lives
Such a great interview with an American Hero.

I am excited to have my next guest on the show, D.J. Vodicka. For sixteen years, he was a prison guard in California's highest security prisons, serving meals to gang leaders, serial killers in lockdown cells, and patrolling exercise yards filled with violent felons while unarmed and outnumbered 1000-to-2. He belonged to an elite unit called the Investigative Services Unit (Internal Affairs), responsible for solving horrific crimes inside the walls. He was a decorated veteran officer. He became the largest "whistle-blower" to uncover a group of rogue prison guards who called themselves "The Green Wall."The Green Wall is a real-life drama of one man's courage to do the right thing against the California State Prison System. It is an unblinking look at what can go wrong when only one person is willing to stand up and speak for what is right, against almost insurmountable odds. Vodicka's televised state senate testimony exposed a scandal that led to resignations, transfers, sudden retirements, and reforms of the system that are still underway. The story is a classic tale of the triumph of personal integrity in the most dishonest place imaginable.
A very revealing show.
