The Goalink Show

“How many years are you going to wait until you give yourself permission to do what you know you need to be doing?” This ONE question changed Jonathan's life. At age 30, he lived in a world where he thought everyone else had a problem, but not him. We go into his mission of learning the art of conversation, hymns and beer, marriage and relationship tips, and of course some good ole classic inspiration!  CHALLENGE: this week’s challenge is inspired by Jonathan: ask your partner, friends, family, employees and/or boss what you’re amazing at and where you can improve. This tells you what to keep doing more of because you’re amazing at it. It also tells you what you need to stop doing because you’re not so great at it. Do more of what you’re great at. Unless you want to be great at what you’re not great at, then of course do that. Like me with rapping to people in the streets at 19 years old and Jonathan learning to listen and have a conversation at age 30. Find more on Jonathan here: https://www.thejonathanrparker.com/

Do you avoid looking at your bank account? Do you feel guilty for spending money? Do you have a hard time letting a friend pay for you? Are you dishonest about your financial situation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is a must for you. We ALL have a money story so really this episode it for everyone. This is the audio from one of our membership group calls. I wanted to give you a real look into it since a lot of you aren’t in it. You’ll hear us talk about polls and questions that people chat in. You can’t see that obviously because this is just the audio. This was an eye opener for me, especially when she talks about our feelings and energy around spending money. A lot of us have a misguided relationship with spending money. My wonderful friend Adrian @adrianellison tells us her money story that she grew up with. How she would manipulate her lovers and friends. How she had an extremely difficult time being honest with money. How she has improved and is cleaning up this narrative. Money is energy and how we can create as much as we want. Adrian gives us real tools to use to identify our money story and how to reframe it for our benefit. CHALLENGE: Clean up your money energy by consciously reviewing your bank statement and card transactions. Scroll through and take note of the energy you feel when you see each line. Do you remember that moment? If you don’t then it’s best to not spend money there anymore. If you do remember, how do you feel? Does it feel awesome? Cool, keep creating that energy. If it doesn’t feel awesome, stop creating that energy, which means stop spending money in that environment.

Let's. Get. Curious. There's no better human to get curious with than my guy MJ. This dude’s awareness is on another level. He’s a great listener with a unique upbringing and has a cool perspective that he’s sharing for the first time on a podcast. He grew up with four families and four different cultures that have given him a curiosity about life. He is an extremely talented videographer who stopped pursuing money to focus on experiences. CHALLENGE: this week's challenge is inspired by MJ: we want you to stop trying so hard. That's right, stop trying so hard. Take a breath and allow yourself to feel. Allow ourselves to receive what's good. Take a look around and appreciate what we have. Press pause on the hustle and contemplate the ease of life. This might be hard (hence this being a challenge) because we've been culturally trained to go, go, go and want more, more, more. Could life be easier than we are making it to be? Are we perpetuating the struggle necessarily? Follow Goalink: @goalinkgroupFollow MJ: @mj.movAttend the Goalink retreat: https://www.thealpasproject.com/goalink

JOIN OUR MEMBERSHIP: https://www.goalinkgroup.com/membership-1-063979b3-04c6-4cf6-8724-8ff69e642882 Welcome Dr. Aaron Simmons, professor of philosophy at Furman University. He’s written 9 books and in addition to his intellectual prowess, he is a loving father, husband, and of course loves to go deep into conversation. He also loves hip-hop which gains major points from me. We start the conversation off by recalling how many churches he’s been kicked out of (or politely asked to leave). We discuss God and politics with an angle you’re probably not used to. We go in to the importance of disagreement, willing to be proved wrong, and why to surround yourself with critics. Put question marks where others put periods. What is the failure of success? Aaron tell us. No black and white answers here, folks. Just lots of nuance, which is what life is about. Connect with Aaron on LinkedIn or email him. https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-simmons-ph-d-98109b36/ aaron.simmons@furman.edu CHALLENGE: Inspired by Dr. Simmons: seek out a conversation with someone who disagrees with you. This is not an attempt to convince them to change their viewpoint or argue. Come into the conversation with an open mind and ask them to share why they believe what they believe. Ask questions, don’t spit out supposed or actual facts to counter their point. Listen to the why behind their beliefs. What was their upbringing like? What has shaped their view? Once you ask questions and listen, you’ll probably understand why they think the way they do. After this, you may of course share your opinion if it’s appropriate. And who knows, you could change someone’s mind like Aaron has by first listening and asking questions, then offering your point of view.

This is most definitely the best way we’ve kicked off an interview… with a rap! Welcome Brian D. Johnson aka "BJ The Dreamer" to the show. Author, inspirational figure, Emmy award winner, and most importantly an all around good dude. He's been on the verge of suicide, slept in his car with no place to go, and spent a lot of time in a negative place blacking out drunk. He moved out west with $300 in his pocket and a dream to turn his life around. He breaks down some of his life lessons including what he's learned from working with major celebrities like Will Smith and Snoop Dogg. Click here to buy his book CHALLENGE: This week's challenge is inspired by Brian and his book: live your dreams OUT LOUD! Yell your deepest desire and/or dream from a balcony, rooftop, or in the street. Even if you need to take baby steps, that's ok too. Write it in your journal, whisper it to yourself, then to yell it out loud alone in your car. Whatever you need to do, let's live our dream out loud! The post of the exercise is to claim and manifest your desire into existence. If you can't claim it for yourself, how do you expect to make it a real thing?

Have you ever wondered why some people are magnetic? How everything seems to work out for them? You get your answer this week with Emily Gallagher. She's a SERIOUS creator of abundance. She cultivates this mindset daily. It's easy to get in a game of comparison, but please remember how much practice such inspirational figures have. Anyone can create a life of abundance! And of course... no one's life is perfect. CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by Emily: practice an abundant money mindset. Carry $100 in your pocket all week and look for all of the opportunities to use the money. Don’t actually spend it, but look at all the possibilities out there. They key is to LOOK for the abundance. This will shift your perspective to find the infinite possibilities around you.

It's ok to not have things figured out. It's ok to not know what your "passion" is during college or any time in life really. These things take time to evolve and be created.   Dr. Bo Cicak didn't find chiropractic until he was 25 and he has plans beyond how he is currently practicing. This dude is a dreamer, but also believes in the growth process of planting seeds.   We dive into some health related topics such as stretching, alcohol consumption, and the effects of poor posture, but I really like how Bo keeps it real about his journey. And that's what we're all about... the process!   CHALLENGE: This week's challenge is inspired by Dr. Bo: correct your posture during phone usage. Don't wreck your neck, check your neck! Looking down at your phone has negative effects on your neck, shoulders, and spine.   Don't look down at your phone, but look out toward your phone. Hold your phone out in front of you, not below you.

This is just a really dope conversation. A discussion full of meaning. It's not so much an interview as it is a conversation. Claire and I open up to what we are working on and the challenges associated with them.   There are A LOT of good nuggets in here, including but not limited to: - The challenge of being direct and vulnerable with family and lovers. - Why triggers and trauma are a blessing. - Why we create problems or anxiety because we’re addicted to the feeling. - Understanding the reason our brain’s are pattern making machines and live subconsciously 95% of the time. It’s both beneficial and damaging. - Living and growing through codependent relationships. - Doing personal work is painful! It sucks sometimes and can actually make your life harder. But… why we think it’s necessary. - How challenges are an opportunity for creative expression.   CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by @iamwatrrr: each time you take a drink (water preferably), say one positive self affirmation. I am enough, I am powerful, I am loving, I am worthy of all that is coming my way, I am already successful, I am the light. Those are some examples.   Use the time you take a sip of a beverage, to remind yourself what you are and what you are becoming. You can take a sharpie and write it on your bottle. So each time you take a swig, you see that positive affirmation. The more you see it, the more you feel it.   Tag me and Claire to show us what's up! We love to see how you're implementing this week's challenge.   If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on iTunes. Thank you!   Also, we have a couple spots left for our retreat in San Diego. Three days of growth and healing... on the beach! Click here for more information and to reserve your spot.

If you're feeling ambitious, here are other steps you can take during this challenge. Put all electronics away by 8:00pm.

Cofounder of Indy Fitness Magazine, Jeremy McGrew is on a mission to go from last to first. A few years ago, Indianapolis was ranked the unhealthiest major city in America. He and his tribe have a goal to go from the least healthy city in the nation to #1 in the next 10 years.   This dude is an unapologetic hustler with a great business mind. We talk about his “failures” and lessons learned along the way. Why in the world does he practice one sleepless night a week? Yes, he literally has a designated night for not sleeping.   Beyond the hustle, he praises how pivotal his wife has been in his journey. And how he has learned to ask for help. Let’s dive in!   CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by @indyfitnessmag: pick the most essential task each day and accomplish it. JUST ONE. No more than that.   Ask yourself this question: what’s the one thing that will make my job, relationship, health etc. easier and possibly everything else unnecessary?   For your business, it could be having that one conversation with your boss, team member, or client that would make everything else that day easier or unnecessary. For your relationship, it could be spending 10 undistracted minutes with them in the morning or first thing after work. Therefore, making your relationship easier and more fulfilling that day. For your health, it could be drinking a gallon of water a day which makes everything else about your health choices easier or unnecessary for the day.   This concept is inspired from Gary Keller’s book The ONE Thing.   Tag us on social media to let us know how you're accomplishing you're ONE thing!

At only 12 years old, he found his dead mother in the basement. Cold, blue, and stiff. She died from a drug addiction. On the phone with his dad, he told the young boy to "shake and wake" her. To say that shaking your dead mother at age 12 changes you is an understatement.   With so much hardship in his life, Thadeus Starsiak is one of the most loving people I have ever met. It would be easy for him to give up or say the world is an evil place. To the absolute contrary, he is a pillar of light sending sonar waves of love to each person along his path. Thadeus is an outstanding human.   He is a personality on HGTV’s “Good Bones” television show. Goofy and carefree on screen, deeply emotional and intellectual in real life.   We talk about love - all definitions and forms it comes in. How to love others and how to love ourselves. How to lovingly approach confrontation and have difficult conversations with those we care about. This conversation is rich with meaning and substance.   I encourage you to share this episode with a loved one.   CHALLENGE: Treat everyone as someone you love deeply. Carry intent with each interaction. Listen intently. Care deeply. Whether it's a parent, sibling, partner, close friend, estranged lover, or a new connection, care for them deeply. Empathize, get excited to see them, forgive, and open up.   Just for this week, turn your love meter to the maximum frequency with every person you interact with. Picture sending invisible waves of love into them. Strangers, enemies, and all. You don't even have to come in contact with them to try it. Meditate and think about sending someone love. Try this challenge and see what happens! Follow us on social media and let us know if/when something cool happens. Tag us in your stories.   @goalinkgroup and @tstarsiak18

Travel blogging is not all 5-star resorts and beaches. Yes, that is an aspect to it, but there is muchhh more behind the scenes that you don't see.   Loneliness. Stress. Struggle. Bad business deals.   Much like every other dream worth achieving, there is a struggle to get there. Glo Atanmo's experience is no different. She has seen her fair share of struggle. From surviving off loaves of bread waiting for brands to pay her, to working so hard that a watermelon sized cyst developed in her stomach.   I'm beyond excited for you to listen to this episode. Glo's energy is pure and radiant. If you want to learn how to travel and make money, Glo is your girl.   If you want to learn valuable life lessons about going for your dreams, authenticity, delaying happiness, and burnout, Glo is your girl. She's your girl no matter what!   Glo and I met at Brendon Burchard's INFLUENCER event 10 hours before this episode was recorded. We highly encourage you to invest in yourself and community. Go to conferences, events, or create your own. Find your tribe!   #selfplug! Reserve your spot for the Goalink retreat in San Diego! We will be at a beach house (right on the beach) doing deep inner work for 3 days with an amazing team. Come blow your own mind. Most conferences have hundreds or thousands of people and you don't get personalized coaching. You will be working directly with experts in a small group of 10 people. See you there!   https://www.thealpasproject.com/goalink   CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by The Blog Abroad: travel somewhere new. Whether it’s booking a flight right now to that dream destination, taking a spontaneous road trip, or going to a new restaurant in your town. Go somewhere you’ve never been!   I bet there's a lot of places on Google and Yelp that you haven't tried right in your hometown...   Follow Glo: Instagram Facebook

After years of trying to be a character that other people would like, Jon has evolved into a person he loves. Listen in to the adventures and life lessons of Jon Goodfellow.   Hear why he compares his dating life to cooking pancakes, going in a sweat lodge, how he manifested his partner, and quitting his job to live in a van with his dog.   Have you changed directions so many times that you don't know who you are? Do you feel insecure because you keep trying out different versions of yourself and don't where you fit?   Jon will tell you why it's ok to change. Experiment with your life!   CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by RealifeChange, a life journaling app: journal once a day (no length requirement). You can talk about experiences during the day, emotions you felt, actions you took, a decision you made, or what you learned.   RealifeChange is your own portable life coach, designed to take all of the social interactions, moods, decisions, discoveries, and emotions that you experience each day and provide you with meaningful, actionable feedback to help coach you in your journey towards a better life.   It tracks your emotions and reactions. If you use it enough, it can tell you what emotions are associated with each of your experience. It’s really cool insight.   Reserve your spot for the Goalink retreat in San Diego! We will be at a beach house (right on the beach) doing deep inner work for 3 days with an amazing team. Most conferences have hundreds or thousands of people and you don't get personalized coaching.

I will be announcing mini challenges each day on social media. They will be heart centric exercises to get out of your head.   Here's what the first couple days look like. One: ask someone what the best part of their day was. Two: forgive yourself for a negative thought and think 3 positive things. Tune in @goalinkgroup to see what we're up to!

Get ready to fall in love with Dr. Jordan Burns, Indianapolis chiropractor and a dude who just wants you to be happy. Jordan thinks it's cool to be kind and is on a mission to align your spine AND mind.   One of my favorite portions of the conversation is when he talks about his dad having a heart attack being a GOOD thing. It's not that he wanted it to happen, but it was the catalyst to his emotional growth. He visited a therapist for the first time and learned the power of sharing his feelings. We can turn a tragedy into our triumph.   After multiple visits to the hospital and a traditional doctor's office, a girl who couldn't walk without assistance, came into Jordan's chiro office. After working with her twice a day for two weeks straight, she was able to fully walk again. The power of chiropractic people!   If you enjoy this conversation with Jordan, please leave a review. Thank you!   Follow Jordan @drjordanburns   CHALLENGE: This week's challenge is inspired by Nuun: drink a gallon of water each day. Hydration is critical for our joints and pretty much all bodily functions. It is crucial! Many of us lack the water intake that is needed. Take the gallon challenge and let's hydrate!   Once you embrace this week's challenge, tag @goalinkgroup and @nuunhydration in your posts and stories on social media. We are giving away some free product! Show us how you are staying hydrated. Enter as many times as you want.   Disclaimer: Dr. Jordan Burns and Nuun are not affiliated.

She reveals her own personal health issues and how she overcame them. We discuss what she learned from a negative past relationship and how she is thriving in a beautiful new partnership. She HITS HOME about not putting blame on other people in our relationships, but looking at how we drew that situation to us.   And she just released an app that you need to download!   CHALLENGE: This week’s challenge is inspired by @docjenfit and @themobilitymethod: 7 days of mobility and gratitude.

Have you ever thought about something all day every day and then it magically appears in your life? That my friends, is called manifesting. What we constantly think about becomes our reality. This week we are joined by a master manifestor, Brigitte Bartley. Brigitte is a mother, coach, entrepreneur, wealth creator, speaker, mentor, and more. Bang! Yes, she does a lot and makes it look easy. Learn how to create wealth and hear her lessons from only chasing money. Hint: it's not the secret to fulfillment. She is a wonderfully genuine human and I'm excited for you to hear this conversation. She even challenges me to attract a partner within 30 days. You know how much I love a good challenge... Enjoy!   CHALLENGE: This week's challenge is inspired by Brigitte and Illumin8 Your Life: Manifest something! Write it down as if you already have it, meditate on it for 20 minutes a day. You could do 10 min in the morning and 10 at night. Really FEEL as if you already have it. Feel as though you would when you get it, but feel those feelings now.   Do this every day and watch the magic happen. You don’t know when or how exactly it'll happen, but watch it come into existence.   I would love to hear about what you’re manifesting, however big or small, and how it comes to fruition. Once you complete the challenge, please tag @goalinkgroup on social media in your posts or stores.
