Hello and welcome to a brand new show, a brand new segment, a brand new Product. This is a new podcast, we’re gonna call it Morning Mindset, I am your host Paul Markel, and uh, I’ve been doing this for quite a while now. Not Morning Mindset, but I’ve been doing Radio Hosting and Podcasting and broadcasting and so forth, but this is a brand new show and it’s specifically designed to be a quick, easily digestible product.

This is something you should be able to listen to while you sip your morning coffee, as you take your morning commute, as you begin your day each and every day. Little bit of background, the Morning Mindset concept started, at least with us, myself and Jarrad my producer, we started this about 3-4 years ago. We were doing Morning Mindset with Facebook Live & YouTube, and I decided that, this avenue, the on-demand podcast, was probably the best way to deliver the content easily & most readily to the greatest number of people and the largest audience. So, there ya go.

Now the Time-frame on these, we’ve been doing podcasts and normally our shows go between 42, 45, sometimes 50 minutes long, but this is gonna be short. Each and every podcast for Morning Mindset is going to be between 10 and 15 minutes, as a matter of fact I do have my stopwatch, yes. I opened up the app. Laugh The stopwatch app on my phone and I’m watching the time. So, uh, I’ve been told that I have the ‘ability to speak at length’, shall we say, and I’m gonna try and keep these quick and easy to digest.

So, what is Morning Mindset? Well #1, if you’ve never heard my voice before, congratulations and welcome. My name is Paul Markel and I have been a United States Marine, a Police Officer, a Professional Bodyguard. I’ve been the author, well I am the author of numerous books, I’m the father of three successful adult children, I’m the host of Student of the Gun Radio & Television, and I’ve been writing professionally for about 25+ years now. Now, the Mindset concept, we talk about Mindset all the time.

When you hear, people bandy about things, when they’re talking about business or they’re talking about education or they’re talking about fitness or they’re talking about strength training or sports or what have you. They talk about Mindset, and they throw that out there, and it’s almost as if they use the term ‘Mindset’ just to try and reinforce their point. But what is Mindset, what does it mean? It’s not just a word that we throw out, just to convince people to listen to our show or convince people to take our advice. Mindset is that thing that determines how you view the world, and the actions that you take or the actions that you do not take.

For instance; you get in your car, you put the key in the ignition, you will either put on your seatbelt, or you won’t. No one is in the car with you, no one is putting a gun to your head, telling you you have to, and you know you say ‘Even if it is the law, ya know, it’s the law, you have to do it’. But what makes you put it on? Well, it’s either your education, your experience, or it’s the fact that you are afraid of getting a ticket. Now if you’re afraid of getting a ticket, that is still Mindset. Or maybe you say, ‘You know what? I’m an adult, I’ll do whatever I feel like doing, I don’t care, I’m not gonna put it on’.

Either way, your Mindset is going to determine whether or not you put that seatbelt on or whether you don’t. When it comes to fitness or training or strength training or what have you, Mindset it pretty simple. You, as an adult, you’re going to decide ‘Well, I know that I should go to the gym and train today, i know that I should, I know that it’s on my schedule.’ But other things in life get in the ay, I get busy, I get tired, I get annoyed, I just wanna go home, so on and so forth.

So, do you take the time to go to the gym and train? If you do, or...
