Gut Check Moment? Why do you do what you do? Do you do it for money or for self preservation or recognition? Do you do it out of service? Do you do it to serve others, your family, your community, God, and/or country?

Know your tools and most importantly how to use them under stress!

5 Stone sits down with Andrew Cooperrider (owner of Brewed in Lexington, KY). From being worth millions prior to the pandemic, to living off food stamps and government assistance.... Mr. Cooperrider explains his story of struggling through the pandemic as a small business owner and how he overcame the challenges.

Are we perceiving reality or what our emotions lead us to believe is real in order to defend and protect ourselves? All too often we are faced with challenges that incite fear and anger and lead us to respond based off of our emotions rather than reality. If we can identify the triggers that lead to this emotional impact we are more likely to learn adaptation and avoidance measures to help us respond in a more rational and effective manner.

If you put other people first, you will never be put last. Alexander the Great's soldiers were protesting and ready to go home, he stepped up and showed them that all his scars were all on the front of his body and said they were got for them. This revealed his willingness to sacrifice for his team and showed his leadership and not cowardice.

Thomas Edison was America's most famous inventor. He was also know for what many called his failures. He once stated, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

She never would have quit if she could have just seen past the fog.... This is a motivational story of rising above your challenges, doubt, and fears-- "the fog". Florence Chadwick, a famous American Swimmer set many records and tore down perceived human limitations. Perhaps her biggest success came from her most famous failure.
