TODAY ON THE SHOW:
Do you need validation from others? Are you a fighter? Do you strive for more rather than staying complacent? Do you love brisket and bacon burnt ends? What is the reason you do what you do? My guest, former MMA fighter and host of The Garage Mind, Tony Ortiz, speaks to those things and drops more valuable bites that you want to hear.

The 10 Lessons From the Pit - A Pitmaster's Guide to Ignite a Life of Purpose: https://www.lifearoundthepit.com/10lessons
Just a few of the bites of value from the interview today:
We can disagree and still get along.
You shouldn't want to do things to prove to other people your worth.
Never give up!
Work Hard.
Don't settle and never stay complacent.
We don't need validation from anybody.
Remember: BBQ is known for being low and slow cooking that produces a fantastic reward. Life as a pitmaster is the same. You have to put in the low and slow efforts to produce the fantastic reward: a legacy of impact! Until next time: season some meat, start a fire, and make an impact!

Have you ever been so busy and had so much on your mind and plate that you forgot something important? This past month was that for me. I FORGOT TO PAY MY HOUSE PAYMENT! There was so much going on that it wasn't until I got a letter from my mortgage company that I realized I hadn't paid my house payment. We all get overwhelmed, so listen to the episode to hear what I tweaked to make sure this doesn't happen again.
