Welcome to the CLS experience. I'm your host, Craig Siegel. I'm a born and raised New Yorker

who achieved success with multiple businesses, but I crave something deeper. So I dedicated myself to

personal growth and transformation by revamping my mindset.

I went from being unable to run a mile to conquering four marathons the following year.

Now, I want to help others manufacture big breakthroughs of their own.

You have three choices in life, and the choice is yours.

You can be like the carrot that turns soft and sad and weak, and you're going to be a carrot sometimes. You're going to be sad. You can be like the carrot that turns soft and sad and you're going to be a carrot sometimes. You're going to be sad.

You can be like the egg that turns hard and mad and mean and you're going to be the egg sometimes too because it's a natural human emotion to be sad to be angry and it's okay but you can't get stuck there.

Because you do have a third choice.

You have a while ago, Craig.

You have a choice on each day, how you're going to have your day. You have a third choice to do that coffee bean. And a coffee bean on a bad day, you know what a

coffee bean does? Stop the day and starts it over. You can start your day over anytime you want.

I tell people with those all the time. 9 o'clock in the morning, noon, four in the afternoon,

stop your day, take a step back, take a deep breath, and say, you know what, life, I don't have to live like that. I don't have to be the carrot. I don't have to be the egg. And then you run and jump

in that pot of warm water call life. And you tell life, you know what, I am a coffee bean, turned

it up. I got this. And today's episode of the CLS experience,

a very special treat. He's an exciting college professor, internationally known keynote speaker,

and a bestselling author, no big deal. He's a former Division I started quarterback for the University

of North Texas for his life took a totally different path. He was once sentenced to 65 years

in a Texas prison where he became a change agent, realizing just like a coffee bean, he was capable

of changing the environment around him. He emerged from prison, a change man, and has since spoken to

colleges, schools, businesses, and Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
