As old habits and consticting thoughts fall away, you naturally create the fulfilling life you desire. Because you see more opportunities around you ... creative ideas flow easily... and you take action in ways that support, not limit, you. For instance, money situations that used to trigger procrastination, fear,or anger just don't affect you anymore. Instead you move forward, getting things done smoothly because you simply stop getting in your own way. Our guest today, was founder of WealthClinic.com, Leisa Peterson.

During the glory of industrialism, from 1945 to 1965, our physical standard of living shot up. But during that that period, we also turned human beings into human "doings" and that entire generation was sadly labeled the silent generation, who were taught to act at work like children; to shut up; don't make waves and go out quietly. Our guest today, Chuck Blakeman author of "Why Employees Are Always a Bad Idea" confronts the seven core business diseases of the industrial age that were developed for the factory system. According to Blakeman, those management practices will not serve us anymore.

In the history of disease we have never before faced such rampant levels of illnesses. We are turning to prescriptions for answers, but they do not address the root cause of diseases. The truth is our health is not completely dictated by our genes. Our meat and dairy diets are the primary cause of our alarming rise in chronic health problems and disease. Shushana Castle and Amy-Lee Goodman are a seasoned co-author team passionate about helping others change their diet, to improve their lives. This duo aims to spread the message about how our food, health, and environment are all interconnected. The authors have appeared on dozens of TV and radio shows interviewing leading doctors and scientists in their respective fields about how our food choices are intimately connected to our health and the environmental crisis To learn more about Shushana and Amy-Lee you can visit their website at: www.rethinkfoodbook.com or Rethink Food - 100 Doctors Can't Be Wrong You can listen live by going to www.kpft.org and clicking on the HD3 tab.

What would Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, Truman, and Eisenhower have done about today’s federal debt crisis? America’s Fiscal Constitution tells the remarkable story of fiscal heroes who imposed clear limits on the use of federal debt, limits that for two centuries were part of an unwritten constitution. Those national leaders borrowed only for four extraordinary purposes and relied on well-defined budget practices to balance federal spending and revenues. On todays episode we were joined by former Houston Mayor Bill White. Bill White is senior advisor at Lazard, a firm advising corporate leaders and governments worldwide. He served as Houston’s Mayor and was twice re-elected with an average vote of 88 percent. He also served as the Deputy Secretary of Energy of the United States in the Clinton administration. He received the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage Award for his leadership in response to Hurricane Katrina and the Governing Official of the Year Award by Governing magazine. He has worked as the CEO of a successful business and as a member of numerous corporate boards. In 2010 he received more votes for governor of Texas than any Democratic candidate in the state’s history. #billwhitetx @billwhitetx To Find out more about Bill White you can visit:

Is that fancy, expensive college degree really worth the cost of several years of tuition, room and board and books? Everyone knows that the cost of education is skyrocketing, but the answer is still YES! Wondering which colleges have the best ROI? Return on investment is the “financial return” from any investment of money, or in this case, the income amount above and beyond what a high school graduate would make. The investment is the cost of that degree, on average, minus the average student financial aid at each college. As a general rule, college IS worth the investment, not only in terms of increased incomes, but also for job security and happiness. But not all colleges (or degrees) are made equally in this sense. Some colleges, such as private schools, generally cost twice as much as in-state public schools. Some colleges have a closer network of alumni which may help in job prospects, while others have really high graduation rates. Want to see how Texas college compare on ROI and graduation rates? You might be surprised!
Source- Payscale.com (2014) 2013 Costs= The total cost to attend that school (tuition, room and board, books and supplies) weighted for the length of time it takes most students to graduate with a bachelor’s degree. Net ROI= The total income that a graduate will earn after graduation in 20 years of working, minus both what they would have earned as a high school graduate and the cost of college (tuition, room and board, books and supplies), minus the average financial aid amount awarded to students at that school if that filter has been selected. It is their net earnings in 20 years as a college graduate. Some interesting things to point out: Average Texas college graduation rate is about 50%. TSU and UT-San Antonio have horrible grad rates at 12% and 28%, respectively. Not surprisingly, Texas A&M has the highest ROI rate. It graduates a lot of engineers and boasts a strong Aggie network. Others in the top ROI rate include: Prairie View A&M, UT, Texas Tech, Texas Women’s University, UT Dallas, and University of Houston. Colleges that round out the bottom of that list are St. Edwards, University of Mary Hardin Baylor, Southwestern University, Abilene Christian University and TSU. The first three don’t even have a positive return on the financial costs! Obviously, one chart with a couple of metric is not enough to judge an entire college and its programs, but parents and college-bound students should keep these numbers in mind when picking colleges and trying to save for the expenses.

"Anything conducted in standard amounts simply won't get the job done. The normal levels of action at which most people operate fail to take into account the effects of various forces- such as gravity, age, resistance, timing and the unexpected... people will try to take from you what they are unable to create themselves... succeed so big that no one person or event or series of missteps can take you down! Average levels of anything will fail you- or at the very least put you at risk" The 10x Rule page 63 Today we were joined by bestselling author Grant Cardone. We learned how to kick it up a notch when it comes to pursuing your financial and life goals. #GrantCardone @GrantCardone You can listen live by going to www.kpft.org and clicking on the HD3 tab.
