 Episode 113: Work Together & Work Harder | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:37:59

Far too often we miss the chance to make something truly special because we refuse to work together. To share. To reveal our secrets. What good can come of an abundance mindset, and what can you achieve when you stop viewing others as rivals and start viewing them as partners? Also, success rarely comes on the first try. When we fail, it can be spectacularly and often embarrassing. What separates champions from the almost champions? Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and check out this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 112: Miracles & Matrimony | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:39:47

Miracles can happen. From beating an illness to getting that promotion to having a whole grip of kids. Do you have the right mindset to recognize a miracle when it's happening, or do you let them pass you by? Also, we probably know how helpful and wonderful it can be to have a spouse, but what about a work marriage? Do you have a work husband or wife? Or are you the workplace's most eligible bachelor? Please say "I do" to this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 110: Little Pink Houses & Zoo Selfies | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:36:47

We face problems every day: from work to home to our neighbor's home even. What do you do about a problem you can't solve? Do you fight even harder? Do you accept it? Do you even consider if it's a problem to begin with? Also, some people say rules are meant to be broken, but rules are there for a reason. How important is it that you set clear boundaries, and what happens when people cross them? In some cases, breaking boundaries could result in something far more serious than some hurt feelings. Set aside your problems and listen to this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 109: College Prices & Sacrifices | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:42:27

Skipping ahead may seem like a great thing to do, but is it a shortcut to knowledge? Some college students are finding out the hard way that earning a spot is much harder than getting it from Aunt Becky. Also, we make sacrifices every day. We sacrifice time for money, money for fun, fun for time. How do you know when it's time to sacrifice something you really care for? And how do know that it's worth it? Feel free to give up the next half hour to listen to this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 108: Hate Your Job & Love Your Boss | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:43:37

Are people actually faking it when they say they love their job? Is the hustle really all that great? Or does it say more about the person that can't imagine enjoying the "rise and grind" attitude? Also, you've likely had bosses you loved and bosses you hated. We all want to believe that we put as much effort into everything we do, no matter the circumstance. But we might just be surprised at what a difference a good relationship with the boss can make. When you're done crushing it for the day, kick back and enjoy this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 107: Holiday Woes and Emoji Pros | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:41:30

If working is dinner, then retirement is dessert. Or at least it would be, if nursing homes weren't so expensive. One man found a cheaper alternative though, and it's a Holiday of an idea. Also, is it ever okay to use emoji's in the workplace? Step aside Millennials, because Heath Oakes has the answer on this week's episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 106: Zero Accountability & Zero Respectability | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:40:59

 Episode 105: Mo' Money & No Fear | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:42:52

 Episode 104: Setting Boundaries & Breaking Molds | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:38:07

The old adage of "Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile" is especially true when you give an officer that inch and they suspect you of smuggling several million dollars of cocaine. It does teach you a lesson about the importance of setting clear boundaries in your everyday (legal) life. Also, those of you with brothers and sisters probably know what it's like to live in the shadow of the "better" sibling. Are you trying to live up to the expectations of others, or should you be looking for opportunities to break out and break away onto your own path in life? Before you go venturing into that wild unknown, enjoy this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 103: The Risk-Takers & Insurance-Fakers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:40:42

You hear it all the time - doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. But are the "right reasons" ever enough to do that wrong thing? One teacher found out that a little insurance fraud among friends is still insurance fraud. Also, taking a risk is scary. It's so much easier to not do it, right? Well what if the biggest risk of all was not taking the risk? Wrap your mind around that, and wrap your ears around this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 101: Cashing In & Paying Up | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:38:50

Passion or paycheck? What about both? When a star college athlete must choose between the first offer or the better offer, is there any room for loyalty? And is it really selling out? Also, reputations are like glass: easy to break and hard to repair. One mother finds out that a good babysitter is worth their weight in gold...or at least the $128 you promised them. Tune in for one of the most enraging stories we've ever done on this new episode of Second Shot!

 Episode 100: Meth-Takes & Middle Fingers | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:50:56

It's a great big family reunion for the 100th episode of Second Shot! Chad Prather and his wife Jade sit down to talk about some modern day police work.
