All of us started out in the oilpatch with PIPE DREAMS and aspirations of what this lifestyle can bring. At one time the most viable industry in our country. Downturns and recessions have allowed us as MEN to hide and sedate from the REAL problems.
I personally did not look at the FACTS and address my FEELINGS properly and sedated to the point my wife left me and my kids did not know me.
This podcast is committing to describe how I burned my life to the ground and in the process share with you how I found myself again and learning to have a full life and leaving the bullshit story behind.
Intention While on the Road or Doing your Own Thing
You only have so much time out of your working hours so how do you maximize that.
The power of intention is where a lot of this starts.
Whether you are in the place of using your job as a tool as a way to raise in the ranks or develop the skills you need to do your thing and start your own business or work close to home it all starts with Intention.
Being mindful of why you want something directly dictates how you show up and how others around take and feed off your energy.
Shawn and I give a few tools we use to be to use the power of intent in your daily lives to help make better decisions and take action when opportunities present themselves.
Use that precious time wisely and you have no idea what you can accomplish.
Sit back and relax and listen today's Tale From the Trench.

Perseverance in the Oilfield
Shawn and I have had many years and many struggles working away as we have discussed on previous shows and today we wanted to talk about perseverance and how you keep showing up for you and your family when you have only so much time in a day and only so many things you want to accomplish.
We discuss some tools we use and especially when you are wanting to make a decision to either grow another business inside or outside of the oilfield and we always take into account that your family is your business.
When we get pushed off track and so many outside distractions pulling us one way or another and combine that with the emotions of working away, who do you turn to and how do you stay focused.
This is what we dive into today and please listen to Today's Tale From the Trench.
As always please share with someone you think can benefit from this and we are always here for a conversation.

Dealing With it All
At work there is only so many places to hide when things are piling up at home, work stress and in all honesty, just life in general these days.
Shawn and I discuss some the tools we use to help combat this as I was triggered this week by my ex wife and thought a good time to talk about these issues as we have something we are dealing with.
I talk about when I did not have the tools and shoved all this shit into my big toe, as I describe it, when my wife left me and how detrimental it was by pretending things were all fine.
You work away long enough it changes you and having people in your circle to call you on your stuff and help to talk about the struggles and the trickies that come up when you are hundreds if not thousands of miles away from home.
Sit back and listen to today's TALE FROM THE TRENCH.
Be sure to share to someone that may receive some value from this topic and others we bring up on the show if you see any value from it.
