I Can Do Anything Podcast

Do you have what it takes to Everest?  Stratton Mountain in Stratton, VT was where I left it all on the mountain.  Stratton’s vertical foot gain per hike is 1,750 ft, 1.35 miles up to the summit, 17 hikes are required to reach 29029 ft and a total of 22.4 miles.  Hike up, take the gondola down, turn right and head back up to the summit.  It’s the hardest thing that I’ve ever done even at five ascents, and I can’t wait to do it again!  2023 I signed up to volunteer at Jackson, WY and I plan to attend as a participant in 2024.  It will take two years to build up strength and endurance to give myself a fair shot.  This community is something that I've never encountered before and I want to be a part of it.  A big thank you to Marc Hodulich, Colin O’Brady, and Jesse Itzler for this event.  Another shout out to Colleen Rue, Matt Burrell, all of the coaches, Garth, Ali Rogers, the photography team, Zach and all of the rest of the 29029 staff.    Follow 29029Everesting: Web:  29029everesting.com Instagram: @29029eve

How do you stay on track if you don’t feel like doing the thing that you need to do?  Will you regret not doing the thing?  Do you have the tools that you need but you’re missing a partner to do the thing with you?  Do you love the idea of the thing, but you don’t have any drive for the action?  Do you need to pay a lot of money in order to get the thing done?  Pam and I discuss all of the above in this episode.  We’d love to hear what you do when you have a thing that you need to get done.  Do you get it done, and if so, what propels you to do so?  I mention research in this episode which can be found at https://medium.com/ You can follow the I Can Do Anything Podcast at: Email us at – icandoanythingpod@gmail.com Watch our faces on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeI1EHGodsDgwYbvHuOxLQQ And then there is always our website - www.icandoanythingpod.com Like us and subscribe on Facebook - https://bit.ly/3bG0Efk Follow us on Twitter - https://bit.ly/2yqZczb Find us on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2xDFIa

“If you can change your habits, you can change your life.”  “Consistency and repetition will change your identity.”  New York Times bestseller author, James Clear   Ashley, Pam, and I dive into Atomic Habits. Spoiler alert – we LOVE this book. Pam joined us back on Episode 29 and wanted to share her thoughts on this fantastic book. This is the book of the year for us.   What triggers you to do your routine? Robyn loves her wall calendar, so thank you Jesse Itzler! Ashley has her bike near the door, so she sees it as she walks in the door. Ashley uses the make it easy or make it hard technique while Robyn and Pam use the make it desirable technique which makes them feel good or accomplished.  Pam talks about making the bed each morning. We also talk about stacking habits and how it sets the intention for the day.   One of our favorite quotes is “You do not rise to the level of your goals you fall to the level of your systems.”  Goals are about what you want to achieve, and systems are about the process that le

Rob didn’t take the easy way out in order to become successful.  The beginning of Rob’s career started as a car stereo installer, joined the Army where he gained foundational discipline, worked in construction and then went into installing mobile phones.  Although Rob was installing mobile phones, Rob was ‘selling’ to the owners of the cars and quickly learned that sales was where he needed to be.  80% of it is mindset and pair that with skill, attitude and confidence it goes a long way. Something that struck home with me during the interview with Rob was his statement to his family of “Tell me how you failed today?  I want you failing; if you fail, you’ll learn from that.”  Rob gives back to the community by speaking to business classes at a local high school.  “Have an open mind, have a critical thinking mindset but the foundational things are what you want to hold onto.”  WANRack is a leading provider of Fiber Optic Wide Area Networks (WANs) for middle-mile, last-mile, K-12 school districts, cities, counti

Episode 58 – A Chris of All Trades Bowling, storm chasing, baseball and building a house are topics that Chris Jackson and Robyn Steckel discuss on Episode 58 of the podcast.  On March 22, 2022, Chris bowled his fifth 800 series of his career!  An 800 series is no easy task.  Chris also bowled in the USBC Open Championships in Las Vegas, in May 2022, and did well.  Storm chasing is another area in Chris’s life that’s met with success.  Chris started bowling and storm chasing with his dad.  Chris continues to chase storms and uses that information to help spread awareness of storms to the public.  Baseball takes up time on the calendar with organizing a league, being on the board, running one of the divisions and playing in three divisions.  Chris also tells Robyn why he chose to build a house and the thought process behind his choices.  This is all on top of working a full-time job.  As you can see, this is a Chris of all trades.    Find Chris at: Instagram - @cj100683 Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cj10
