  Stop Letting Fear Decide—Live Fully Today | Motivational Quotes — Martin Bodek | Ep 262

  Aug 14, 202619 min

  In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I’m joined by Martin Bodek—a technologist by day and prolific writer by night—who brings a powerful mantra that has guided both his life and the legacy of his grandfather: “Get busy living or get busy dying.” We dive into the source of this quote from The Shawshank Redemption, and Martin reveals how it became the practical philosophy his grandfather embodied while surviving four armies and unimaginable odds during World War II. Martin shares the story behind his book documenting this journey, and talks candidly about his own practice of endurance, whether running consecutive New York City marathons or facing over 1,200 rejections as a writer. His insights are a testament to action over fear, the importance of decisiveness—even when uncertain—and the incredible value of listening deeply to the stories that shape us. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or hesitant, Martin’s wisdom and his family’s resilience will remind you of the power in choosing action and living fully, no matter the circumstance.

  True Freedom Comes From Within—Dr. Alain Salas | Ep 261

  Jul 3, 202627 min

  In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Dr. Alain Salas, a chiropractor and creator of the Mind Clearing System. Alain shares the life lesson, “Become the change that you want to see in the world,” and brings a deeper meaning to it by explaining that true healing, transformation, and freedom begin from within. Alain’s story takes us from the South of France, where he lived on a sailing boat and chased adventure, to the United States, where a powerful calling led him into the healing arts. He opens up about purpose, personal transformation, and the hidden programs that shape our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and decisions. He also shares how divorce, depression, health challenges, and the collapse of what looked like the American dream pushed him on a deeper quest to understand the mind and create a new way of helping others. This conversation is a reminder that the outer life we build means very little if we are disconnected from what is happening within us. Listeners will walk away with a thoughtful perspective on limiting beliefs, inner freedom, healing, purpose, and the possibility of reprogramming the mind so it works for us instead of against us.

  Always Grant Yourself A Seat At The Table—Adam Lee Spencer | Ep 260

  Jul 3, 202620 min

  In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Adam Lee Spencer, who works in sports and entertainment management. Adam shares the quote that has stayed with him since his transition from twenty years in the United States Army into civilian life: “Always grant yourself a seat at the table.” It was advice from a mentor during a season when he was learning how to network, build professionally, and move into a new chapter with confidence and authenticity. What begins as a conversation about confidence becomes something deeper. Adam and I explore how often people reject themselves before the world ever gets the chance to respond, especially when fear, modesty, or past rejection shapes the way we see ourselves. But Adam also brings an important balance to the lesson: just because you deserve a seat at the table does not mean every table is worth sitting at. This conversation is about knowing your value, choosing spaces that align with who you are, and learning when to say yes with care and when to walk away with peace. Listeners will take away a thoughtful reminder that confidence is not only about entering the room; it is also about knowing whether that room is healthy, meaningful, and worth what it asks of you.

  If You Have Hope, It’s Your Duty To Share It—Jack Maher | Ep 259

  Jul 3, 202624 min

  In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I’m joined by Jack Maher, an author from Colorado, who shares the quote, “If you have a chance to hope, it’s a moral duty to share it because most people don’t.” Jack’s wisdom comes from a deeply personal story of love, faith, grief, and the unexpected moments that helped him see hope in the middle of heartbreak. Jack shares the story of meeting his wife, Becky, at a school dance in 1970, the beautiful life they built together, and the night in 2019 when everything changed. Through Becky’s final moments, a stranger named Oliver, and a series of meaningful connections that followed, Jack began to see his loss through the lens of faith, love, and something larger than coincidence. His journey led him deeper into Catholic faith, pilgrimage, writing, and ultimately sharing Becky’s story through his book, You Were Chosen Just Like Mary . This conversation is about what it means to carry grief without losing hope, how strangers can become part of our healing, and why the hope we receive is not meant to stay hidden. Jack reminds us that even in painful seasons, we are not alone—and sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is share the light we’ve been given. Every episode has more to it than what you hear.

  If You Don’t Ask, The Answer Is Always No—Brandon Barnum | Ep 258

  Jul 3, 202628 min

  In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I sit down with Brandon Barnum, CEO of HOA.com, to talk about a simple but powerful life lesson: ask to get. Brandon shares how this idea was shaped by his mentor, Mark Victor Hansen, and how being challenged to write down 101 goals led him to get deeply clear about what he wanted in life, his purpose, and the kind of impact he hoped to make. Our conversation explores why asking is not just about requesting something from others. It begins with asking yourself what you truly want, what you are willing to sacrifice for it, and how clear you are when you communicate it. Brandon shares how this applies in business, relationships, faith, referrals, community, and everyday life. We also talk about the courage it takes to ask for help, the importance of trust, and why serving people well changes the way we ask. This episode is a thoughtful reminder that asking is not weakness. Sometimes it is an act of clarity, faith, humility, and connection. Whether you are asking God for direction, asking a client for feedback, asking a partner how you can love them better, or asking your community for support, Brandon reminds us that if we do not ask, the answer is already no.
