Brenden Kumarasamy sits down with Wilk on DTH Episode 142 to discussion communication and the why?

Better Communication by Asking, How Do We Get To The Why? DTH Episode 142 with Brenden Kumarasamy

January 4, 2023 wilkwilkinson 0 Comments

How do we get to the why?

Far too often, people enter a conversation, or worse yet, enter an argument with someone that they disagree, and never ask the most important question. Understanding the other person’s why will always make for a better conversation or more effective argument, whether you end up agreeing or not. Communication is about leading a more fulfilling life, therefore being a better communicator leads to a more fulfilling life. Better communication often begins with the question, How do we get to the why?

Who is Brenden Kumarasamy and what is Master Talks?

After coaching many business students on how to give amazing presentations for a couple years, Brenden quickly realized that public speaking is a very difficult subject to master.

Because of this, Brenden created his Master Talk channel to help others master even the slightest details of their pitch so that they can gain the confidence to deliver the best presentation they’ve ever dreamed of!

Accountability is Key in the Journey to “Unstuck”

I know it may sound simplistic, but it is something I talk about often, I believe it, and I strive to live it every day. Friends, much of what we seek in life, and much of what we can do to make the world a better place begins with accountability. Sometimes, personal accountability is key in the journey to “unstuck”.

Level Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking… DTH Episode 136 with Kevin Palmieri

Level Up Your Life with Next Level Thinking

Sometimes in life, once we attain a goal, we realize that goal is not quite the prize that we imagined it would be. This is not to say that goals are not important, because they very much are. This is to say, that often people put to much of their personal fulfillment and joy into external results. This can lead to a whole different kind of misery. This is the time to level up your life with next level thinking.

Kevin Palmieri talks Next Level Thinking

After hitting his goal of a six-figure income, Kevin realized that there had to be more. He had the car, the money, the typical “American Dream.” It took getting it all to realize that what matters most is your thoughts. And that’s how Next Level University was born.
In this great DTH conversation, Kevin and I discuss the importance of reflection and becoming very familiar with yourself. “What do you enjoy so much that you lose track of time?” We talk about life’s purpose, good habits and consistency. And of course, we talk about Kevin’s own story and how that lead to Next Level University.

Do You See All the Possibilities?

Sometimes the greatest challenge we face is not what we don’t have or cannot do, but not seeing all the possibilities available to us. Wanting what we don’t have, or not being able to do something we desire can be cause for great frustration, and in some cases, Hate. Sometimes it takes the right coach in order for you to see all the possibilities. Are you as happy as you’d like to be? Is your life one of Peace, Purpose and Prosperity? Do you see all the possibilities?

Wilk talks about a Les Brown Video on Episode 97 of the Derate the Hate Podcast

Episode 97: “Program Your Life, or Life Will Program You” ~ Les Brown

February 23, 2022 wilkwilkinson 0 Comments

Like so many out there, I too find myself, at times, getting discouraged. I was having a conversation the other day, with a gentleman that most people would probably know of, and he asked me, “Wilk, is it too late?”, meaning, is it too late to bridge this divide, are we so full of hate and animosity for those of differing opinions that it cannot be turned around? I said to him, I wouldn’t be doing the Derate the Hate podcast if I felt it was too late. But like I said, I too find myself, at times becoming discouraged, and even at times feeling almost defeated. Sometimes when I think it may be time to give up, something happens…

My wife and I were having a discussion this week about all that we have going on, and she could tell I was a bit discouraged with certain things. She asked me if I had ever heard of Les Brown? I had not, so she sent me a YouTube Video of his. That 58 minute inspirational video was pure gold. Much of what Les talks about in the video was stuff that I have talked about on the DTH podcast, but his delivery and cadence are incredible. This is a must watch or listen to video if you are unsure of the power of you and your mindset. It also brought to mind for me, Episode 52 of the DTH podcast, so for the first time, I am bringing back a large portion of that episode in this one. Let me know your thoughts on both!
