#TheMVPLife

By Brett W. Gould

Mental. Verbal. Physical.
Think. Say. Do.
Authentically You.

When you know WHO you are you'll know WHAT to do.

This podcast is where I'll leave what I've learned on my journey in hopes that it'll be an encouragement to you on yours. Perspective that'll bring focus. A process for your progress. None of it being a prescription to a life of perfection. Think filter for better flavor. A way to look at things, talk about them, and act on them so you can be the very best version of you possible.

So you can be...

Authentically You!

2023: #1 Don’t let memories steal your momentum.

Seasons. We live in them. That’s perfectly fine and can be 100% healthy. BUT…sometimes if we aren’t careful we stay in them longer than we should, at the expense of our growth. This 8 minute “off the cuff” word is your challenge that it might be time to get busy moving forward.

I was mowing my yard, reflecting on this past season, and I felt like this is something we all needed (myself included) to hear as leaders. It’s challenging me to continue to see the bigger picture, so that I can be an impactful leader. I hope it will do the same for you.
