Hello and happy Thursday! It's Tom, the Pro You guy, once again doing what he does - "Walks the earth and then shares his experience". Most of today's message came from one of the many amazing chats Tom has with a certain friend (& client) where today's title came from. A grand step along anyone's Pro You Path is that of patience (overall) but especially with yourself. Attaining and maintaining this ability is an omnipotent step that everyone must deem themselves worthy of. Enjoy and, as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom was wondering what to chat about on this episode and realized he had no notes from the week. Tom sat quietly for a moment and asked himself - why? Three or four why's later, Tom had his message and he was quite stoked about it! The final 'why' was answered with "Because I'm thankful" which inspired a brand new gratitude list. It did not take Tom long and he came up with a list of 50 - yes, 50 - things Tom is thankful for; that fill the space between his ears and why he is the best version he has ever been! A personal favorite and an episode Tom is quite proud of. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom uncovers the meaning behind '420' for those that care. Tom shares an article and client news, as well as how his path (one of consistently asking himself why) is going. Tom has mentioned gratitude and its power since the beginning of PYP. Nothing has changed Tom's perspective on gratitude but it has become much stronger. Tom is consistently thankful for all the little things; what he has, what he doesn't, what he gets to experience and what he doesn't get to experience. It is, and shall ever remain, a superpower. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! When one looks at it, PYP has been a simple verbal documentation of Tom's personal growth. Staying true to that, being okay with how one feels is a huge one! Tom is highly aware how long and how challenging personal growth (& the work) is. But, the upside is even better - a better you walking the earth! If you could wake up and push a button that made you a better you and your life as is easier, would you push it - of course you would! Well that is exactly what deeming yourself worthy is and what being Pro You is all about. Tom is here, available, for anyone who wants/needs to talk. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Did you miss PYP? Well, Tom (& Niko) took their first vacation from PYP and skipped last Thursday. First time in six and a half years. Tom did it just to remove the "I have to" every Thursday thingy. It was wonderfully empowering. Continuing with his current theme of asking 'why', Tom decided to share an updated version (He previously did an episode early on called 'My Story' where he shared his) and continuation of his story. Asking "Why would someone listen to PYP? Why is this guy saying, doing what he's saying and doing?" Hopefully some of those questions are answered. Either way, Tom feels proud that he is the version he is and that what he is sharing now along his Pro You path is something he never thought he would achieve nor experience. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! "Be like water": A very popular phrase that Tom did not create. Water has been a symbol for wellness, for life, for cleansing and for fluidity. Tom was referred to a podcast and water and it's symbolism were discussed and Tom took notes! That's the good news but Tom begins this episode with how and why he recently stepped in the mud, not realizing how deep it actually was and thus, how long it lasted.
Still flawed. Still imperfect. Still moving forward. Still the best Tom has ever been. Thus, Tom is still very thankful. Everyday, more and more. It is and has been his super power. Enjoy and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! This episode took a little doing. Some technical difficulties made this episode quite the challenge. But alas, Tom won with help from his Canadian Assassin and a new Microphone cable! PYP be good to go! So his episode takes off from where the last "Asking Why" left off - Tom still reflecting and listening to his higher self (thank you Madeline!) and above that Tom is being okay with exactly what he is doing and working on and fending off any impulses to do more. Hence, listening to his higher self. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! This is a pretty big episode for Tom because what he experienced was pretty big. It started out as a simple 'no' and choosing not to go to the beach. What led from there was quite a shock and yet Tom fully embraced all of it. It was as if Tom was being guided by a future Tom/a better version. Tom credits being open and present and then having the ability to trust his gut. Tom's world was small, it moved slowly, prior to this moment - but it slowed even more. It was so tangible Tom could feel it. A very unique experience along Tom's Pro You path he is very proud to share. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has always had moments where he was experiencing a specific theme with different clients at different times. Tom has repetitively mentioned: being present, being thankful and being in the moment. All of those are Pro You when experienced, but as with everything Pro You, easier stated and much more difficult to apply. Long term goals are more difficult than shorter term goals. If one achieves multiple short term goals, inevitably they are on their way to achieving any long term goal. That perspective added to being present made Tom realize that 'Today' is truly all any of us have and that is where our time, energy and focus should go. When applied there is a true sense of power; controlling what one can while they can. With no thought, time or energy going to tomorrow or yesterday. Enjoy, and as always, thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom fell into a wormhole. Not a bad emotional/mental wormhole, but a home improvement project wormhole. Tom actually navigated that well, but he was not aware of what that experience did to him and before he knew it he was carrying weight that was not his to carry 'again' and he felt it! The positive is that Tom is highly aware that evolving involves embracing one's flaws and moving forward in lieu of those flaws/hurdles and the feelings they create momentarily. So for Tom, it's a win-win because he is still here, he 'gets to' and he is better everyday! If you need a helping hand, a shoulder to lean on, an ear to listen , or just a consistent cheerleader in your life please message Tom! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has been, and will always be, very repetitive in his words and actions - "if it's not broken"! The things that have truly affected Tom's journey, he shares and they seem to be pretty consistent; being thankful and being present. Tom has come up with somewhat of an equation that he has repeated many times. Tom has now shared these things with another stranger with the same outcome. Tom truly thinks it's so basic it could help anyone - it helped him! Lastly, Tom shares why he is so very thankful and it's not for what he has, it's for what he doesn't have, doesn't have to deal with or endure. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! It was not easy for Tom to use the title he used. Things can sound very different to different people depending upon where they are along their Pro You path. In the last two years, Tom began using the phrase, "I like me" and added, "It's not like I didn't like myself before, I just never thought about it." Well now Tom has evolved into saying, "I like being me" as in "Tom enjoys his life, his reality and the experiences/moments that he has along his Pro You path". Tom shares two very special moments that affected him deeply. Tom didn't mention it in his verbal intro to this episode but Tom reveals the only other person that sounds like Tom - which is quite a compliment coming from Tom. Lastly, there are more Trainer Challenges and quotes! It does not get much better than that - right?!?! #lol Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode of PYP Tom talks climate and infrastructure - wait, what? Yup, you heard it correctly! Then, Tom shares two different Trainer Challenges to two of his clients - and it is all about deeming themselves worthy - heard that before?!?! A lot is going on in the world, so Tom hopes that your focus and intention are on your world - what you can control! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has stated many times that he feels his job is that of a 'mirror'. He simply shares what he sees when speaking to his clients. A mirror doesn't lie, doesn't show you a reflection due to a hidden agenda. So keeping it real, if you will, is what Tom experiences along with his clients and Tom adds that the key is getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Which is exactly what one finds along their Pro You journey of self-discovery. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Being true to yourself is something Tom has been doing and practicing for quite awhile. The moments of payback/reward for that effort is truly worth any effort! Tom shares his magical trip (another one) to Lake Tahoe. The moment Tom and Zen arrived the experience began with an amazing moment. One Tom will never forget. It is in being the 'Observer' in one's life that one gets to see with great clarity what is truly important and then decide where to place one's valuable time and energy. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Here we are with another episode of PYP where the host "Tom" shares what he has been sharing a lot lately; addressing your squeaky wheel. It is not fun, familiar, comfortable, quick or easy. And that is exactly why one MUST "deem themselves worthy" of the choosing to place their valuable time and energy into things/areas that serve them in the pursuit of becoming the best possible version of themselves. The people who do deem themselves worthy - like his clients - although it is unfamiliar and uncomfortable, Tom could not be happier or more proud of those that do!

Hello and happy Thursday! Another PYP episode, another beautiful artist and once again Tom's heart was full after chatting with James Brunt and his wonderful wife Caroline (who chatted with James and Tom for a bit). Tom knew of James because of his amazing art. But Tom didn't know much of anything else about James until this past March where Tom got to meet 'online' some of his favorite artists. It was during that event where Tom became even more impressed with James; his personality, his energy - everything! And then James touched Tom's heart in a very unexpected way - James spoke about fatherhood and it brought Tom to tears. James wasn't trying, James was just being James, but Tom felt all of James' beauty, all his love and Tom will forever be affected by his chat with James. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! On today's episode Tom shares what's been going on lately and how he had been using the word 'acceptance' a lot lately. Whatever tool works he'll use! Whatever tool works he'll share! A little reading, just enough quotes, client moments and a couple Mosier Notes as well - a very full episode! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Another land artist on PYP today but not just any land artist - Tom's favorite! Jon Foreman aka "Sculpt the World" has been an artist Tom has truly come to admire, respect and, Tom admits, his work is truly affected by Jon's work. Which is the biggest compliment you can give someone, to Tom. Having the opportunity to chat, share, listen and learn about Tom's favorite artists has been nothing but a blessing. Tom's cup over floweth's! A huge thank you to Jon for his time and his amazing artistry! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom has released two episodes with artists and he has two more recorded. He will release a 'solo-pod' in between the artists as he has done the previous two. Getting to chat with (and record forever!) some of his favorite artists has truly filled Tom's cup.
Tom has some more amazing client stories and as Tom has said, "It is a good time to be him and a good time to be a part of his tribe." Tom shares a couple articles about spiritual wellness and ends with the simple fact that every moment is a learning moment. A lesson we should all learn. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Truly another very special episode for Tom. First, it's his wonderful producer Niko Ketsilis' (The Canadian Assassin himself) 100th episode as producer for PYP. His Pro You attitude and gratitude have simply made PYP better these past 100 episodes. Thank you, thank you and thank you Niko for being you and all you do! Secondly, this episode and this special guest made for one of Tom's all-time favorite episodes. It goes over the normal one hour time and Tom's first thought was to make it into two separate episodes, but decided to put it out all at once. That's how special this episode is and how very special Tom's guest is. All the way from Ireland, Sir Sean Corcoran! An amazing artist, person, friend, husband, father and who, by simply being himself, forever changed my life and gifted Tom with the most amazing moment, weekend and memory ever. A huge thank you to Sean for just being himself! Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! #400 - did that! Moving on! And here we are at #401 and here we are 'stepping into our light'. Tom's not sure when he saw those words but they truly resonated with him. Tom shares some more client success stories - which he loves! That being said, Yin & Yang are always present, so Tom shares some not so fun stuff. Tom, shockingly, is still flawed and is still tested. Tom is way past that and very much focused on rewarding his growth and effort, not the distance to still travel. It is one of the superpowers that enables one to be present and thus, step into their light! And why there are so very many reasons to be thankful in all circumstances. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom's heart could not be more filled nor more proud. Episode 400 is a big deal to Tom. The new version of Tom truly sees what 6 years of doing 400 episodes means to him, his walk and his life. There is no grey there. Complete clarity. Being able to celebrate with an amazing guest is what made Tom's heart overflow. Michael Grab is truly the best (in Tom's humble opinion) at what he does and has inspired not only Tom but people all over the world. Tom became familiar with Michael awhile ago but it wasn't until the BeLeaf Virtual Event this past March where Tom was invited and felt a part of this group, which inevitably led to Tom feeling comfortable in asking Michael to share his time and energy. Last but not least, a huge shout out/thank you to CH for green lighting PYP for me 6 years ago and Niko, the best producer ever!
And finally, to you the listeners:
Tom could not have arrived where he is without PYP and its listeners.
Thank you, thank you and thank you for listening to 400 episodes!
ENJOY!

Hello and happy Thursday! There are no easy quick answers, fixes... life is not a straight line. But if you are evolving and growing part of that is accepting that the journey is not a straight line. Tom shares an article on the 'Energy of Gratitude" and wonderful client stories that are all aligned with life not being a straight line. And lastly, a not so magical walk to a nearby Seven-Eleven and what transpired along that walk. Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!

Hello and happy Thursday! Tom's chatting away on today's episode about 'The Watcher' in us; which Tom has never heard of before but found very interesting. Tom chats more about Yoga and the emotional benefits from such practice. Everything Tom does seems to be topical for PYP. Especially his training sessions with Mosier. And that is where/whom he got the term for today's title from. Always learning, always growing, always evolving or not - up to you! Thus... well, you know! #lol Enjoy and as always thanks for listening!
