Today’s video clip is from Episode Seven of Jason Michaels TV and it is a discussion on developing grit in order to become more resilient. The three elements that I share that help build grit are being active, determination, and vitality.

In this clip, from Episode Two of Jason Michaels TV, I share a story about how one of my mentors inspired me to face my fears, be brave, and become a better artist and entertainer. My special guest Grace Good shares how she had to face her fears in order to have incredible adventures like tours in Japan and across the United States.
I feel that this discussion on being brave is important and timely. I hope you will watch it, enjoy it, and that it will speak to you.
Episode Five of Jason Michaels TV was, in my opinion, outstanding! I tried out a new video streaming software and really enjoyed using it. The technical execution on my side of things wasn’t perfect, but I think that episode five is the best so far from a production point of view.
Having one of my best friends, Stephen Bargatze, as my guest was special. We discuss all sorts of topics. We start talking about our travels together entertaining the men and women of the military deployed to overseas bases. After that, we chat a little bit about his style of comedy and magic and we watch a few of his performance clips. We also go into his personal story of triumph over tragedy and how his faith his influenced his life.
Discussing the power of imagination is one of my favorite things to do. As I say in the video, I believe that imagining something in your life is the first step in the act of creating it.
My question to you is, “What do you want to create in your life?” When you picture yourself living that reality in your imagination, you prepare your mind and body to realize it.
LIVE B-I-G, my friend! B-I-G.
Inspiring people to LIVE B-I-G is my mission and I desperately want it for you.
But why? What does it mean? And how do you LIVE B-I-G anyhow? As a teenager I fell in love with entertaining audiences through acting and the art of magic. I also had Tourette Syndrome, which is a debilitating neurological disorder that manifests itself with uncontrollable body movements and vocalizations. I faced a unique set of challenges in my journey to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional entertainer.
Over the next ten years, I developed a process that helped me defy the naysayers, defeat self-doubt, and live the life that I desperately wanted to live. The result of my decade-long struggle – the powerful LIVE B-I-G system!

I like to talk a lot about doing the impossible. You might say I’m obsessed with it. From magic tricks that appear to be impossible, to overcoming barriers that seem to be - the subject just speaks to me.
In today’s blog article, I wanted to share an excerpt from my book You Can Do the Impossible, Too! where I do something that others thought might not be possible for me to accomplish.
My hope, by sharing this, is that you might see yourself in this story. And if you don’t see yourself exactly, maybe the story will speak to that part of your soul that needs to hear it - because I firmly believe that you can do the things that feel impossible in your life, too…
Yesterday was Independence Day here in the United States of America. Every year, on July 4th, we celebrate the brave, monumental feat that we accomplished 243 years ago - fighting for and claiming our independence.
Our founding fathers fought for freedom. They fought for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble - all sorts of freedoms they believed were God-given rights. The fought for their freedom against a country they didn’t believe represented them. Talk about high-achievers!
On a seemingly unrelated note, exercise and physical fitness is my hobby. I enjoy going to the gym virtually every day. And for as long as I have been going to the Gold’s Gym in my area I have seen one man in there consistently who has impressed and inspired me.
This man is in the gym all the time. I can count on seeing him at least several times a week. I think it would be safe to say that physical fitness is a lifestyle for him, too. The big difference between him and me (besides the fact that he is in better shape and is more impressive looking than me) is that he wheels his wheel-chair around the gym as he moves from machine to machine getting in a solid workout…
I know what you’re thinking, ”Motivation Monday…on a Tuesday?”
Since we celebrated Memorial Day here in the States yesterday and pretty much no one was trying to get anything done, I thought it would be a better idea to help you kick-start your week by sharing #MotivationMonday today.
Today we explore two questions…
How do you create the burning desire to succeed every day?
Can I do this without most people noticing I have other challenges?
As far as creating the burning desire to succeed…

Good Morning! Today’s #MotivationMonday answers two questions…
Where do you find the drive and fortitude to achieve your goals?
Have you ever thought about giving up?
It can be really hard to achieve your goals when you have a big vision. I share what I think is my most compelling reason why achieving your goals is sooooo important…and it has to do with leaving a legacy long after you and I leave this earth.
As far as giving up goes…who hasn’t thought about giving up?
