The Fun Road with Kass & Steve

Your Recipe for Success

What are the ingredients for success? Ever stop to think about that?

Lets say you have a garden. You have seeds, and all you need is water and some sunlight. What if you forgot to water the seeds? What if it was cloudy for days on end, and you were watering the seeds, but they wouldn’t budge? The seeds would never grow. They would never reach their full potential. See what we are trying to say here?

Now that we’ve talked about the perfect recipe for your tomato plants, apply that to ambition, talent, and passion. Passion is the seed, talent is the water, ambition is the sunlight. All three of these things can make you successful.

What are Your Filters?

Picture filters are a big part of social media. We use them to make a picture look better than it actually does. Do we also have filters for our interactions in daily life? Do we have filters we put on our personality for different people in our lives? You betcha! Kass & Steve talk about how being as authentic as possible is so liberating, and how to recognize who the people are that you can say #nofilter. These are the people I can be 100% myself.

How Open Minded Are You?

Would you say you’re an open minded person?

Open minded people have the mentality that the way you live is good for YOU. What you do might not be good for everyone else, and that feeling that it has to be a certain way or the highway can come from a place of fear. In this episode, we want you to ask yourself certain questions about yourself. Are you someone that is easy to talk to? Are you honest and upfront? Are you not easily offended? These are all qualities of open minded people.

Are you the type of person, or maybe you know someone, that is actively looking for things to make them offended? Do you find yourself doing this?What about feeling like you always have to defend yourself? Instead of letting things roll off your back, do you jump up to the defense? We have no problem saying we don’t like something, but it is hard to accept when the same is turned on you.

Your Gratitude Checklist

What is on your gratitude checklist?

How do you recognize gratitude? Do you fill your heart and mind with things you are thankful for on a daily basis? Do you sometimes need a reminder of things to be grateful for? Well, Kass and Steve are asking the questions today. And the questions they are asking are good, so grab a pen and paper and write these down so you can start your checklist.

Turning Fears Into Pleasure

What is your biggest fear?

Perhaps it’s heights, or spiders, or maybe it’s public speaking. There are certain fears we have that might be unexplainable (like fear of long words), but other fears you might have might be tangible. How did that fear get started? When did you start giving that fear power?

In this episode, Steve gives an example of how he had a fear of growing up and living his life, due to how he thought he had to live it. Kass also talks about her fear of public speaking. Both stories are examples of overcoming fear, and why it was so important for them to do so. Do you find yourself wanting to overcome a fear so you can pursue something you are passionate about?

Habits: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

When you hear the word Habit, what do you think of? You probably think of a bad habit that you yourself have. But have you ever stopped to acknowledge your good and bad habits? You might be able to recognize bad habits in others, you can tell by their body language. Let’s say if someone is stressed or uneasy, they start biting their nails. They are stuck in a trigger and reward habit loop.

Interview with Jon Giswold

If you don’t know who Jon Giswold is, then buckle your seatbelts. You are going to love him!

In this episode, not only are we doing our very first interview, but we will be interviewing Jon Giswold! Jon is a fitness guru, and an author. He has influenced people all over the world, and is Steve’s biggest inspiration. John has been a huge influence on Steve’s life since the first time they met.

Passion and Purpose

You can’t have one without the other!

What is passion to you? When you hear the word passion, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it your family or friends? Or maybe a hobby you have? Have you ever sat down to consider why that specific thing is the thing you’re passionate about? It’s probably the feeling you get when you are doing that thing.

What about purpose? What is your purpose in life? Purpose and passion make up the core you. Without purpose, it is hard to find passion. Without passion, it’s hard to find the purpose. See how that works? Your passion could very well be your purpose, what you’re meant to do. The way that you think about those things is going to drive how you operate and help you fulfill your life.

Ambition and Talent

They go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly.

You don’t have to be an expert at your talent or gift, but when it is backed by ambition you can become better than people that are naturally gifted. When you have the confidence to own your gifts and talents, whether they come naturally or you have to work extra hard for it, that confidence will shine through. Confidence beats competence every time.

There’s No Place Like Home

What do you think about when you think of your home? Home is where you want to be. It is the place where you have a visual reminder of how surrounded you are by love. It is a place that you can go and never feel excluded. Ask yourself if you’re the type of person that makes others feel at home? Do you feel that way around the people you surround yourself with?
