| 1/21/26 | ELIMINATE TO ELEVATE | Unleash Your Potential: 5 Bad Habits to Leave Behind for a Thriving 2026 As we step into a new year, many of us find ourselves overwhelmed with goals and resolutions. However, true progress often comes from what we choose to leave behind. In this blog post, we will explore five detrimental habits that can hinder your momentum in 2026, inspired by insights from a recent podcast. 1. Stop Saying You’re Busy The word "busy" has become a common filler in our conversations, often used to deflect meaningful exchanges. When asked how we are, many default to saying they are busy, which conveys little about our true priorities. Instead, try replacing busy with phrases like "I’m focused on a new priority" or simply pause to reflect before responding. This shift not only fosters deeper connections but also encourages clarity in your interactions. For example, rather than saying, "I’m busy with work," share specific projects you're passionate about, like "I’m starting a new franchise and looking for employees." 2. Stop Emphasizing the Grind Talking about how tired and overwhelmed you are is not a badge of honor; it’s a warning sign of mismanagement. The podcast emphasizes that true discipline isn’t about how hard you work but how you respect your time and well-being. If your workload is exhausting you, it may be time to reassess your priorities or systems. For instance, if a salesperson is still asking basic questions after years in the field, they might need to evaluate their methods instead of just pushing through fatigue. 3. Stop Claiming You Don’t Have Time Many people claim they don’t have time, but this often stems from poor time management. Instead of making excuses, audit your day to see where your time truly goes. Are you allowing distractions to derail your productivity? The podcast suggests tracking your time just like money; if you don’t manage it, it disappears. Instead of saying, "I don’t have time," try saying, "That’s not a priority right now" or, "I’ll check my schedule and get back to you." This approach nurtures accountability and clarity. 4. Stop Overthinking and Waiting to Feel Ready Analysis paralysis can prevent you from taking the first step towards your goals. If you find yourself hesitating to start a project because you want everything to be perfect, remember that progress often requires action, not perfection. The podcast likens this to waiting for all the traffic lights to be green before leaving your house. Instead, embrace imperfection and allow yourself to learn and adapt along the way. 5. Stop Making Excuses Excuses can be a significant barrier to progress. The podcast emphasizes the importance of removing excuses to create space for growth. Rather than rationalizing why you can't start something new, focus on what you can do today. Challenge yourself to take small steps forward, and you’ll find momentum building naturally. It's essential to recognize habits that hold us back. By leaving behind busyness, exhaustion, excuses, overthinking, and the grind, we can create the momentum needed for personal and professional growth. Remember, true progress comes from making intentional choices about what to eliminate from our lives. Take these insights to heart and watch how they transform your year ahead! Takeaways: - Replace "busy" with meaningful descriptions of your priorities. - Respect your time and well-being instead of glorifying exhaustion. - Audit your time and be honest about your commitments. - Embrace action over perfection to overcome analysis paralysis. - Remove excuses and focus on small, actionable steps. | — | ||||||

| 12/5/25 |  GOAL PLANNING, PART 4 of 4 | In this conversation, Jay Miralles discusses the importance of identity and self-belief in achieving long-term success.

| 12/4/25 |  GOAL PLANNING, PART 3 OF 4 | Title: Mastering the Art of Execution: Turning Plans into Power Introduction: In today’s fast-paced world, having a plan is just the first step; executing that plan is where true success lies. In a recent podcast, Jay Miralles delves into the crucial phase of execution, emphasizing that while motivation can ignite the spark, it is discipline that keeps the flame alive. Let’s explore the insights shared in the podcast that can help you transform your plans into powerful actions. Section 1: Understanding Execution Jay Miralles opens with a powerful statement: "Your plan doesn't fail; your follow-through does." This highlights a common misconception—many people blame their plans for failure when in reality, it’s often their inability to execute those plans that leads to disappointment. Jay stresses that wishing for success is insufficient; true achievement comes from hard work and consistent execution. He states, "Wishing is cute, but working is undefeated," reminding us that our habits reveal our true intentions. Section 2: The Importance of Morning Routines One of the key takeaways from the podcast is the significance of owning your mornings. Jay asserts, "You either own the morning or the morning owns you." He encourages listeners to adopt a proactive morning routine to set a positive tone for the day. For instance, he suggests waking up early to engage in meditation, exercise, and planning, which can help individuals start their day with clarity and energy. Section 3: Setting High Priority Tasks Jay emphasizes the importance of tackling high-priority tasks first thing in the morning. He states, "If you win the first battle, the rest of the day salutes you." This means that accomplishing even one significant task early on can create a momentum that carries throughout the day. He shares his own practice of prioritizing a morning workout as a critical first step to ensure a productive day. Section 4: Accountability and Consistency Another essential element of execution is accountability. Jay explains that accountability is not a punishment but rather a reflection of our commitment to our goals. He encourages listeners to establish systems that keep them on track, such as regular check-ins or end-of-day reviews. Furthermore, he discusses the concept of discipline, noting that it often triumphs over the fleeting motivation we may feel. Section 5: The Dangers of Procrastination In the podcast, Jay addresses the dangers of procrastination and how it can derail our plans. He warns against the temptation to put things off, saying, "Later has killed many more dreams than many other things." He encourages listeners to take immediate action, even when they feel tired or unmotivated, as pushing through those moments often leads to breakthrough results.

| 12/3/25 |  GOAL PLANNING, PART 2 OF 4 | SummaryIn this conversation, Jay Miralles emphasizes the importance of designing a clear blueprint for personal and professional success by 2026. He discusses the necessity of clarity, the three-piece blueprint for achieving goals, the significance of eliminating distractions, and the power of setting stretch goals. Miralles also highlights the importance of execution and accountability in turning intentions into reality, urging listeners to take immediate action towards their goals.TakeawaysDesign your life intentionally, don't leave it to chance.Clarity is essential for progress; define your goals clearly.A three-piece blueprint includes outcome, process, and proof.Eliminate distractions before adding new goals.Stretch goals create pressure that drives growth.Accountability measures help track progress effectively.Start today; don't wait for a specific date to begin.Even small, consistent actions can lead to significant results.Commitment is more important than mere interest in goals.Your future is waiting for your permission to succeed.Chapters00:00 Designing Your Future: The Blueprint for 202605:29 The Three-Piece Blueprint for Success10:58 The Power of Stretch Goals16:49 Execution: The Bridge from Plans to PowerBLUEPRINTCreating Your Three-Piece BlueprintJay introduces a simple yet powerful three-piece blueprint to guide your journey:1. Outcome: Define what you want to achieve. It’s essential to set clear, specific goals that can be easily tracked. For example, losing 30 pounds by February is a clear target that can be broken down into manageable weekly objectives.2. Process: Establish the daily and weekly actions necessary to reach your goal. Jay advises removing friction from your process. If your aim is to lose weight, remove junk food from your home. If you’re looking to boost sales, schedule dedicated time for outreach. The key is to create an environment that supports your goals, making them easier to achieve.3. Proof: Track your progress using key performance indicators (KPIs). What you measure tends to improve, and having a scoreboard to track sales or weight loss provides motivation. Jay notes, "What you avoid decays," meaning that without tracking, your ambitions may fade.Keywordsblueprint, clarity, goals, execution, success, personal development, planning, boundaries, progress, motivationWEBSITEhttps://www.letsgo321.comGET IN TOUCHhttps://flow.page/jaymirallesBUY MY BOOKhttps://books.by/jaymirallesPLEASE SUBSCRIBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@jaymirallestheconnection | — | ||||||

He discusses the common triggers of worry, such as money, work performance, and family dynamics, and offers practical techniques to manage these feelings. Miralles introduces the concept of layers of control, highlighting the importance of focusing on what we can control to reduce anxiety. He concludes with strategies to reset the nervous system and regain clarity and peace in life.ACTION STEPS:Big Idea: Your practical, proven, repeatable worry-list exercise.Write Down 2–3 Things You’re Worried About Today“Name it so you can tame it. You can’t fight shadows — you have to put them in the light.”Examples to give:“Is this deal going sideways?”“What if I disappoint someone?”“What if I’m not enough?”“What if my kid is struggling?”Why writing works (Brain science simplified):Writing moves the thought from the emotional brain to the logical brain.The emotional brain reacts.

| 6/28/25 |  Wilson Munsterman, Author- Marked By Adoption: A 19-Year-Old Changing Lives | "Text now! I'll Respond"What are the odds that a healthy baby boy abandoned on a hospital doorstep in China would grow up to become an accomplished author, speaker, and adoption advocate in America? For Wilson Munsterman, this extraordinary journey isn't just a story—it's his life.At just 19 years old, Wilson brings wisdom far beyond his years as he shares his powerful adoption story with raw authenticity. Born during China's one-child policy era and left without identification, Wilson spent his early months in the Chinese orphanage system before being adopted by American parents. What makes his perspective so compelling is his profound gratitude: "I've come to terms that I shouldn't be alive, I shouldn't be here in America... I'm going to attack every day as a gift."The conversation explores adoption with remarkable nuance, challenging simplistic narratives. Wilson emphasizes that adoption isn't inherently good or bad—it's an experience that varies widely depending on individual circumstances. He offers invaluable insight for prospective adoptive parents, birth families, and adoptees alike, stressing that what matters most is approaching each situation with grace, understanding, and love.Most impressively, Wilson has transformed his personal experience into meaningful action by authoring "Marked by Adoption," a book offering ten key insights from an adoptee's perspective. The impact of his work is already profound, with people across generations finding healing through his words. Beyond adoption advocacy, we discover Wilson's passion for vinyl records, Elvis Presley memorabilia, and his appreciation for history that sets him apart from typical 19-year-olds.Wilson's story reminds us that our greatest challenges often become our most powerful purpose. His message to those feeling discontent resonates deeply: count your blessings, set goals for self-improvement, and remember that "the world is good, people are good." At its heart, this conversation is an invitation to see the world through a lens of gratitude and possibility—no matter where your journey began.Support the showThank you for listening to The Connection Podcast with Jay Miralles.

| 6/18/25 |  DeDee Oliver: Real Estate, Real Life | "Text now! I'll Respond"The power of genuine connection threads through this conversation between longtime friends Jay Miralles and DeDee Oliver, who reconnect after nearly three decades to share insights that span professional wisdom and deeply personal memories.DeDee opens up about her remarkable 27-year journey in real estate, revealing how the industry transformed from three-ring binders with listings and paper maps to today's digital landscape. Her success secret? Blending traditional relationship-building practices with modern technology. "The heart of my business is built on referrals," she shares, describing how she's helped multiple generations of families find homes. This philosophy of authentic connection has sustained her career while many others came and went.The conversation takes a powerful turn when DeDee shares the story of her father, Marvin Edward Park, who was killed in action during Vietnam when she was just 13 months old. Though she has no personal memories of him, her father's presence has been kept alive through family stories and a precious book created by his war buddies containing photographs and accounts from his service. "How do you miss something that you never knew? But you do," DeDee reflects, in a moment that speaks to the universal experience of loss and remembrance.Jay announces he'll be honoring Marvin during the upcoming 50 Mile March, carrying his photo and sharing his story. Their exchange reveals how listening to others' experiences—really listening, not just hearing—creates meaningful bonds that enrich our lives. As Jay notes, "We've lost the art of connection, and as I get older, that gets more and more important." Whether you're building business relationships or preserving family legacies, this episode reminds us that genuine connection remains our most valuable resource.Pictures for Reference of Marvin E Parkhttps://www.facebook.com/share/p/16Z6zQJrKD/Support the showThank you for listening to The Connection Podcast with Jay Miralles.

| 3/13/25 | Beyond the Vest: The Real Impact of Service Dog Partnerships | "Text now! I'll Respond"Beyond the Vest: The Real Impact of Service Dog PartnershipsWhat does it take to transform a puppy into a life-changing service dog for a veteran? Susan and Brandon pull back the curtain on this remarkable journey at Assistance Dogs of the Heartland (ADH), a Nebraska-based nonprofit with a powerful mission. Inspired by her family’s military service, Susan founded the organization to give back to those who have served. Brandon, his sister Grace, and other dedicated board members work tirelessly to match specially trained service dogs with veterans in need.Susan and Brandon share personal stories about Susan’s military father, reflecting on how his experiences shaped their deep respect for veterans. When Susan and her late husband, Andy, acquired Bonafide Dog Academy in 2019, they saw an opportunity to expand their nonprofit arm specifically to support veterans through service dog partnerships.This conversation reveals the meticulous process behind training service dogs like Hope, Harper, and Skye—dogs currently preparing for veteran placement. The selection process is rigorous, ensuring that each dog has the right temperament and health background. Training is intensive, costing approximately $20,000 per dog, and involves an innovative puppy raiser program where community volunteers help nurture future service dogs.What stands out most is their commitment to thoughtful matching. These aren’t just dogs being handed out—they are carefully paired with veterans based on lifestyle compatibility and mutual benefit. The dogs learn specialized skills such as deep pressure therapy and develop an intuitive understanding of their handler’s needs. As Susan beautifully explains, “The thing that sums up a dog best is unconditional love... It doesn’t care what car you drive, it doesn’t care what job you have. It cares about you.”ADH relies on community support to sustain its mission—whether through donations, volunteering as a puppy raiser, or spreading awareness. The goal is to build a sustainable pipeline of service dogs for veterans who might otherwise wait years for assistance through other programs.

| 9/3/19 |  #19 Blackstone Broadcast Series- Guest John Fahrer | "Text now! I'll Respond"John is the owner of a Scriptown Brewery, a business in Blackstone. Listen to how and why he connected in the Blackstone District! *********************** THANK YOU SPONSORS THE OMAHA GIFT COMPANY, BUSINESS4BUSINESS Make an Impact Symposium, Nov 7th, 2019 click here BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS REAL ESTATE - THE GOODLIFE GROUP- COMPASS TEAM MEADOWLARK MANAGEMENT https://www.facebook.com/MeadowlarkManagement/ *********************** http://www.scriptownbrewing.com/ Scriptown Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by John & Debbie Fahrer and Scott Stephens. John and Scott met in 2011 when Scott returned to Omaha after living in Portland OR where he worked in advertising. Over his 7 year stint in Portland, his love and appreciation for handcrafted beer stoked his interest in the process; so, when he moved back to his hometown of Omaha NE, he was introduced to John by a mutual friend and the journey began. John has been a homebrewer in his hometown of Omaha NE for over 25 years and is well respected in the local brewing community. In 1996, John won the NHC (sponsored by the American Homebrewer's Association) in New Orleans. His Muddy Mo Amber Ale was named Best of Show out of 3,300 entries that year, winning him the coveted title of Homebrewer of the Year. In addition, he was won many ribbons in local and regional home-brewing competitions over the years, including the Nebraska State Fair. John recently left his career at PayFlex Systems in 2014 to pursue his dream of owning and operating a brewery. Scriptown Brewing Company brews classic examples of traditional beer styles. As a BJCP National Judge, John was always a style maven and prefers to brew British, German and Belgian styles. Our goal is to brew the best beer possible, using local ingredients when we can. The name Scriptown was derived from what was the first subdivision in the history of Omaha, which at the time was located in Nebraska Territory. It was called "Scriptown" because scrip was used as payment, similar to how a company would pay employees when regular money was unavailable. Its original survey placed the location from the Missouri River to North 30th Street, Cuming to Fort Street. A Hurrdat Media Production.
