What challenges did Barbara Majeski face?
So much crazy goes on from this because at the end of the day, six months later, after getting that award, I got diagnosed with stage three colon cancer.
And now, Escaping the Drift, the show designed to get you from where you are to where you want to be. I'm Jon Gafford, and I have a knack for getting extraordinary achievers to drop their secrets to help you on a path to greatness. So stop drifting along, escape the drift, and it's time to start right now. Back again, back again with another episode of Like It Says in the Opening Man, the podcast that gets you from where you are to where you want to be. And today, ladies and gentlemen, today in this day after the election when a lot of the country anyway is wheeling and trying to figure out what to do. I got a guest, not in studio. She's where she is and I'm where I am. But this is a guest that
How did Barbara's upbringing shape her perspective?
Man, I saw her on the gram and she came flying down. And I just started doing a little bit of research on this person. And I kind of got into it, man. I was like, man, this is a person that's kind of got it figured out, has had that adversity in her life. She's had some things that have stepped up and hit her in the face and managed to keep pushing forward in a way that her view on life and just watching some of the stuff she does is really impressive. She is a frequent guest of shows like the Today Show, Fox and Friends, those sorts of things. She is the founder of the More Life Collective. she is the host of her very own bearing it all podcast and ladies and gentlemen we are glad to have her in on the podcast today to get her point of view this ladies and gentlemen live in the flesh it's barbara majewski it's barbara yes great to see you how are you i'm doing great i mean the election we know what we've got she conceded we can continue on with our lives
Right, the sun came up today, the clouds are out, nobody, the world has not fallen apart. You know, here you go.
My newsfeed is hysterical right now with the memes and the, you know, it's all good. But at least it's done, you know.
It's never, you know, and something I posted yesterday, I mean, this is like early in the day, like early when voting first started. And I made this comment, I'm just curious, we're not going to get political, but I'm curious your thoughts on this. Because I said, Not supporting whoever wins the election tonight is like going to the doctor and hoping they misdiagnose you. Don't you have to kind of root for whoever? You got to kind of root for them because rooting against them is kind of rooting against yourself.
It's true. I mean, you've got to find what, you know, what speaks to you and pick your team, like get your jersey on, get in the game. But, you know, some people are indifferent. They're not really affected by the ebbs and flows of politics. So I can understand there have been elections in my youth that I was very meh about. So this one was a little deeper for sure.
Yeah, it was. And I'm glad it's over because me being in the business that I'm in and needing to advertise, holy crap, everything just got way cheaper today.
It got a lot cheaper.
Amen.
Oh, and our text messages have stopped. I can put something in somebody's... People will answer the phone again for my people when they call. I can put something in somebody's mailbox that is not buried with 800 other things. And man, clicks just got way cheaper on the interwebs, which I like. So I was, you know, high performing people. I like to do this nature versus nurture deal. Right. So I like to kind of go back to the beginning of your life and how you grew up. And you had kind of extreme circumstances, just got a lot of twins in your life, I think, and including one of your siblings had special needs. So we talk about that and what it was like growing up in that household. Where did you grow up? Tell me about that.
Yes. So it looks like you've done your your homework. So I appreciate that. That's great. And yes, I grew up in New Jersey. And I'm one of two sets of twins. My my I have a twin brother, I have younger twin brothers. So we're one of two sets and my mom's a triplet. So it runs in the family now. God gives you, you can handle. And God made sure I just had three separate ones.
