Blue Collar Executive
Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity. My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were farmers or coal miners. My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels. My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did. I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them. I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing. So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining. It doesn't matter what color your collar is. We all have gifts and a purpose. None more important than the other. The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.

Ever have a near death experience? Bet you have and didn't even know it! That's the best kind to have. Think of the sleepless nights, heart palpitations and antacids we avoided. Most of the stress and anxiety in our lives comes from things outside of our control, but in reality we are not really in control of most things. We all have guardian Angels watching over us 24/7. Most of the time, they have a thankless job because we don't even know when they take action to protect us. Think about how great life would be if we could have the same faith about stresses we see or imagine in front of us that we have for the dangers we never see.
