In the Red

Presently Present

Welcome back to another episode of the "In the Red Podcast" with your host, Anthony Hart. Whether you're a long-time listener or this is your first time here, we value your presence and believe that everyone, including you, plays an essential role in the conversation we're about to have.
 
This podcast aims to inspire meaningful dialogue and provide fresh perspectives. Our goal is to make you think, challenge your beliefs, and encourage you to converse with those around you. We live in a world filled with arguments and debates, but we truly need more genuine conversation to share perspectives, listen, learn, and grow together.
 
Anthony reflects on the power of trust in these conversations. Trust is built when people listen and witness the consistency between words and actions. Just as in his role as a pastor, Anthony learned that true impact comes from sharing moments in conversation, fostering trust, and being an example through actions.
 
Anthony introduces the central theme of this episode: the distinction between "presence" and "being present." He emphasizes how our culture often prioritizes having a commanding "presence," trying to stand out and demand attention. However, this focus on presence can lead to a superficial need for validation and attention, turning people into beggars for recognition.
 
In contrast, "being present" means connecting genuinely with others, offering value, and serving rather than demanding attention. It's about listening, sharing, and walking alongside others, even in their struggles. Anthony believes this distinction is crucial in various aspects of life, from family dynamics to business leadership.
 
Anthony also discusses his experience with The Founder Con Christian Business Conference, where they prioritize speakers who are present on stage and throughout the event, engaging in conversations and fostering connections.
 
He urges listeners to apply this understanding of presence and being present in their own lives, suggesting that it can bring transformation to family relationships, workplaces, and spiritual growth. He emphasizes that God is always present with us, and we should embrace this presence in our everyday lives.
 
In conclusion, Anthony challenges listeners to consider whether they are trying to cultivate a commanding presence or truly being present with those around them. He encourages everyone to be present, listen, and connect with others, as it is in these moments that real change and transformation can occur.
 
Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the "In the Red Podcast." Have a blessed and meaningful week ahead, and remember to be present with those who matter most in your life.

What is Up With the Attitude?

In this episode of the In the Red Podcast, host Anthony Hart dives deep into the topic of attitudes and how they shape our lives. He begins by sharing his own wisdom and experiences gained over the years.
 
The episode starts with a discussion about the word "attitude" and its impact on our lives. Anthony explores how many people can relate to moments when they or someone they know had a bad attitude. He highlights the importance of understanding attitudes and their effects.
 
Anthony had the opportunity to speak to middle school students and found that they were discussing attitudes, both good and bad. This inspired him to explore the concept further. He shares a thought-provoking definition of attitude: "A mental position with regard to a factor, state, or a feeling or emotion toward a factor or state."
 
He delves into the idea that attitudes can become a lifestyle, shifting from momentary emotions to a habitual state of readiness. Anthony emphasizes that a bad attitude can lead to rejecting good things in life and missing opportunities.
 
The episode continues with a discussion of two types of attitudes: the negative attitude and the "have to" attitude. Anthony encourages listeners to shift from negative attitudes by intentionally seeking the good in everything, even challenging situations.
 
He then tackles the "have to" attitude, highlighting the difference between viewing tasks as obligations versus opportunities. Anthony explains how the "get to" attitude can transform our lives, making us more open to experiencing abundance and freedom.
 
The podcast encourages listeners to question their attitudes and understand the "why" behind their actions. Shifting from "have to" to "get to" attitudes can lead to a more positive and impactful life.
 
In conclusion, Anthony Hart leaves listeners with a powerful message: "Take notice of your attitude. Change it from 'I have to' to 'I get to.' Embrace positivity, and remember that these small shifts can make you a difference-maker in the world around you."

He urges them to step out of their comfort zones, whether in physical fitness, mental growth, or any other aspect of life, and start moving to gain momentum toward their goals.

He discusses how perception often takes precedence in relationships, hindering genuine communication and causing responses that may not align with the intended message.
