Listen to the Chiseled Podcast: For People Who Are a Work in Progress

I realize that I’ve not been keeping up with blogs on this site and admittedly I am stretched pretty thin right now.

The real estate game is always a challenge and 2021 was The Commodari Group’s best year yet, but my true pleasure in the past year has been working on Chiseled , the podcast that I produce at Anchor.fm and which is available on a bunch of streaming channels. If you like podcasts, there’s probably one just for you in the list below.

The podcasts have been fantastic if I do say so myself. I’ve talked to so many inspiring people, people who have been through incredible challenges and are persevering and still becoming the best versions of themselves in after adversity and tragedy.

This list of speakers is growing, but here are some amazing people I’ve talked to so far: Charles K. Hopkins, who went to prison for 48 years after murdering an off-duty police officer; Ben Andrews, who was falsely accused of a heinous crime and nearly ended up in prison; Brent Gove, who went bankrupt and now is one of the top real estate agents in the country; James Sharp, who lost everything in not one, but three fires; and Joell Mower, who forgave the man who murdered her son.

These are people who are truly chiseled. I am fortunate to have been able to meet them and interview them on Chiseled, which is a biweekly podcast.

If you’re ready to dive in, please go here and listen to the series so far. They’re usually about a half hour apiece, some more, some less.

We have many more episodes coming and I’ve been challenged by one of my heroes to do many more. When I get to 100, this very famous mentor will be my guest so please listen and help me grow so that I can gush over one of my all-time favorite inspirational speakers and celebrate this great 100-episode milestone (as you can tell, I’m keeping the person a surprise. More reason to stay tuned)!

If you just want to hear little clips to whet your whistle, you can hear them on my YouTube channel on the Chiseled playlist. Subscribe there and you can get new alerts when these clips come out.

Listening to Chiseled, you will find that millions of people are trying to become better than you think. We are all a work a process, but as we get Chiseled we find that the joy is in the journey, not the destination. I hope you tune in!

"Chiseled" Podcast Is Up and Running!

It took Michaelangelo more than two years to finish the statue of David. It is a masterpiece, but how did he know when he was done? A little chipping here and chiseling there and one day he looked at it and said, “Voila,” or perhaps “Ecco”?

For most of us in a growth mindset, we wlll never become David because our stories of success, failure, and lessons learned continue to chisel away at us and turn us into the person we are becoming. We never become who we're supposed to be because there is no proverbial “there” to reach.
