Do you ever feel like you have tunnel vision in life?

We get so caught up in the race of life we often never slow down to really see where we are heading.  It becomes all about the next thing, the next vacation, the car.  COVID has forced a lot of people to really take an inventory of where they were headed.

David Pere asked some of those same questions while he was serving and looked at the choices people were making ahead of him after retirement and said that is not the path I choose.  Through that choice, he found a passion for real estate investing and now has a platform to help others navigate this road and understand what they need to know.

112 – Perfectly Imperfect with Gloria Rendon

112 – Perfectly Imperfect with Gloria Rendon

Do you hide your life stories from your kids?

 Veterans live a very rich life, we have stories, we have the depth to our views, and we know how to connect with others.  But on the other side of transition, we often don’t see how life was happening for us and how we might be able to help others who went down a similar way. 

We do this often becomes we are ashamed, worried of being judged, and afraid of what “they might think” of us after they really know my story. 

 Gloria Ren has a story that has driven her to do more and be more in her life.

 She has worked as an advocate for clients with mental health and substance use disorders for nearly a decade. She has progressive experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

 Gloria has worked with agencies and organizations within North and South Carolina to provide evidence-based training to counselors, practitioners, non-clinical staff, agencies, organizations, and clients regarding mental health and addiction. She serves as a federal grant reviewer which allows for funding for both of these populations; specifically for underserved populations.

 Gloria has counseled and consulted on thousands of clinical cases and has proven leadership and supervisory experience. Gloria is a public speaker and has headlined symposiums on the East Coast. A Palm State of Mind was founded on Gloria’s experience as a counselor and is focused on providing inclusive treatment by a representative staff.

Topics Covered:

  • The Military is a very revealing process

  • The GI Bill won’t solve all your problems

  • Transitioning out starts day 1 of Bootcamp

  • It takes a village to raise a family

  • It takes a community to support veterans

  • Finding your place in the civilian community

  • Tearing out the tags we put on people

  • Do your kids really know who dad is?

111 | Something Needed to Change with Brent Bowers

111 | Something Needed to Change with Brent Bowers

by | Feb 7, 2021 | Episode | 0 comments

Ever had that feeling your life is headed in the wrong direction? 

I think we all get to that point where we start looking around at where we are and asking is this how I wanted my life to unfold. 

This episode is rich with the wisdom of making that change and finding a better direction.  A critical element that many dads struggle with isn’t always a new direction, but a new destination. 

We have such a narrow view of how we can fit into the world.  As we talk about often on the podcast after your time is done your legacy will be the direction and destinations you were headed and what did you leave behind on that path.

Brent Bowers, is an investor and coach with a focus on buying and selling vacant land. As an Army Officer with over 8 years of service, Brent was spending a great deal of time away from his family, and he knew he needed to make some changes in order to be more present with his wife and children.

Brent began investing in real estate as a way to support his family while having more time to spend with them. In a short period of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. Brent now helps other investors learn the ins and outs of buying land.

Topics Covered:

  • Scheduling Vacation
  • Finding new roads for life
  • How legacy can shape us growing up
  • The Quitter Mindset
  • Investing in coaching
  • Slowing down in our 20’s
