600 Seconds…today Dave finds a blog that inspired him, and reads 10 tricks for living a better life.

David shares a story that could have easily cost the lives of a group of his friends as his ego was running wild. He was so consumed with being right, and with the need to prove to everyone around him that he knew more, that he was terrified to slow down ask for help and allow others to step into the spotlight. He also shares stories of people whose ego has led them to their early deaths, prison or shame.

Katrina is passionate about empowering people to be at their best, whether in sports, career, relationships or in life. David explores her journey and the gems in her best-selling book, “Be Your Best without Stress” and the strategies that she used to overcome huge hurdles and truly live a Kickass Life.

Join David as he takes you on a trip through the rugged British Colombian Countryside on a Elk Hunting trip with two of his good friends, Mike and Steve. The theme of the show is all about the importance of spending quality time alone and making time for your guy friends or girlfriends. Living a Kickass Life is all about range, and being as comfortable in a tuxedo as you are in sweaty hunting clothes.  Being as comfortable in a 5 Star Hotel room, being served oysters, as you are cooking fresh Elk over a campfire.    

Its so easy to say “Don’t Compare Yourself!” In David’s experience, so many people get caught in the comparing trap, where they are never happy or satisfied, because they are constantly comparing themselves to people doing better, looking better, or succeeding better than they are. So, instead of being motivated to do more, they become resolved to accept their lot and do less. He also asks for some help and support with The Best of The Kickass Life Show, which is available now! If you decide to invest in it, thank you, thank you THANK YOU!  It makes a huge difference, and we think it will give you tremendous value.  We’ve worked hard to make it...Kickass.
