It's Work Podcast

I recently reconnected with a good friend from high school.  We had the chance to meet in person and we spent a good bit of time reminiscing about the past and how far we have come in life.  What I realized after our meeting was that reflecting on the past is a powerful thing.  I made me unlock some things in my mind that I have repressed over the years.  I know have a new motivation for the future. In this episode, I discuss the importance and power of the past and why we should all reconnect with it.

As entrepreneurs and people trying to improve our lives, we will always face risk.  There are all types of risks we will face, but one that isn't talked about much is emotional risk.  With any journey comes this type of risk and I have found that this type of risk has prevented people from achieving their dreams more than any other. In this episode, I talk about emotional risk, what it is, and how to deal with it.   Book me to speak:  https://www.roccocozza.com/speaking Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theroccocozza Connect on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/theroccocozza

The story of Michaelangelo carving the statue of "David" is fascinating.  He carved the famous sculpture from a piece of marble he found on a side street in Florence, Italy.  When it was complete, people asked how he did it.  He simply said that he saw "David" in the marble and he just had to remove everything that wasn't "David." In this episode, I discuss how we need to do the same with ourselves and how we can reveal more of who we really are.

I recently spoke to a class of college freshmen.  During the discussion, the topic of fear came up.  Many of these kids were letting fear run their lives.  In fact, we have all let fear dictate the things we do sometimes.  But you have to learn to embrace fear because everything you want is on the other side of it. In this episode, I discuss fear, why it is self-created, and how to embrace it to achieve the goals you want to achieve Get a copy of my book:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1732762708 Check out my website http://www.roccocozza.com Interested In Coaching http://www.roccocozza.com/coaching Connect on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/theroccocozza Follow Me On Instagram http://www.instagram.com/theroccocozza

I recently had a discussion with a fellow entrepreneur about business and life.  During our discussion, we started talking about the entrepreneurs that write books talking about the journey, but how those books tend to leave out the crap.  The bad days.  The lack of focus. The $hit.  We both agreed those are some of the most important things an entrepreneur will face. In this episode, I talk about the bad days, the ones I have had recently, and why it is ok to talk about them.
