 Episode 69: Vicious Wakes & Pancakes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:44:05

What is your legacy? What would people say after you're gone? Have you taken the extra step to give thanks to the people that deserve it? One woman seems to have waited too long to mend those bridges when she had the chance. Also, what company has the guts to throw a long-running brand into the trash? What does it have to do with pancakes? And how can you get on the news? Do your loved ones a favor and send them this episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 68: Innovate & Fabricate | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:36:08

Things are always changing. Needs, wants, laws. If you're not ready to respond to those changes, you're going to be left behind. That's especially true when new competition is coming for you. Do you take a risk and innovate, or do you stagnate and also risk being yesterday's news. Also, how much is your word worth? Do you back up what you say? Do you lie? Do you "cry wolf"? And do your lies affect the lives of others? If you can only make one promise today, make a promise to listen to this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 67: Boldly Go & Fail Spectacularly | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:36:40

At some point in your life, you've been rejected. Your crush turned you down for a date. You didn't make the team. Someone else was hired. Do you spend too much time trying to force these things to happen? Should you instead focus your efforts on forging your own path? Look for something different? And when you do go your own way, do you plan to fail? Most of us think about how great the outcomes can be, but the real trick is being ready to fail (and fail hard, sometimes.) You can certainly count on something good happening if you give this episode of Second Shot a listen!

 Episode 66: Purge & Positivity | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:40:45

Spring cleaning...it doesn't just have to be for your closet. What are you hanging onto that you should let go? What should society toss to the curb? Which of the Second Shot crew is a packrat? We'll have those answers, but first, we all know that life can give you lemons. Should you "waller" in it, or have fun and make a little lemonade? While you're at it, share some of that with your neighbors! The power of positivity is on full display in this week's Second Shot!

 Episode 65: Fake It & Make It | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:42:28

If you look good, you feel good. Former NFL player Patrick "Action" Jackson joins us to talk about the simple act of dressing the part, and why you should find something else to do than complain on social media. There's also a heartwarming story that proves "it's not over 'til it's over." Patrick talks about his transition from the NFL into the business world. Dress up, dress down...doesn't matter to us how you enjoy this episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 64: Make Weight & Make Amends | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:29

What drives you? What makes you put in your best work? Does it come from within, or would an extra $500,000 help? One football player could learn that it's not always possible to coast to success. And if you struggle with seeming authentic, this is the episode for you. What makes a good apology? What makes someone genuine? And how can you, a good person, always come across that way in public? We're nothing if not authentic here on Second Shot!

 Episode 63: Consistent & Persistent | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:39:24

There's one simple step to take in that situation, but the first step is checking out this episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 62: Discredit & Distress | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:40:12

Kid shaming, dog shaming, neighbor shaming...is it worth it or just mean? One lawn company thinks it's the perfect type of advertising. Also, sometimes in order to get ahead, you need to get uncomfortable. One college football star is thinking way outside the box when it comes to the NFL draft, and he's making a LOT of people uncomfortable along the way. But YOU should get comfy, because there's no shame in enjoying this episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 61: Partiality & Poo Punch | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:51

We're sure you've heard that playing favorites is unfair. You might be surprised to hear it can really work in your business. Loyalty may be dead, but there's something motivating about a little preferential treatment from time to time. Also, some people think money can fix everything. However, immorality is always ready to float to the top, waiting to get scooped out. Fix a drink and get comfortable - this Second Shot is an upper decker.

If you tell your kids you're going to turn the car around, will you do it? If you promise your spouse that you'll change, do you? If you threaten to blow up a bank, can you actually blow it up? The not-so-subtle art of keeping a promise can be hard if you promise too much. Also, how many times have you seen your boss roll up their sleeves and get down in the trenches with you? One sports team showed that even if you're winning, there's no victory in a cancelled game and there's no job too small when things need to get done. Make a small promise and listen to this week's Second Shot!

 Episode 58: Screen Time & Door Chimes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:46:42

How do you balance the old vs. new? Kids are surrounded by tech these days, and it can do all sorts of things for them, but what are the limits you set? Do you manage their screen time? Also, is a crazy idea really crazy if you believe in it hard enough? One company proved that sticking to it can be worth a billion dollars. The key to happiness is to go bit by bit, so make one of those a little bit of Second Shot!

Never judge a book by its cover, even if that cover is a nice old grandma who might be trying to bust her family out of the pen. Also, how far should you go to punish the bully?
