Baby Steps.

The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. This goes for whatever it is you’re wanting to accomplish. What did I do with the huge trash pile in my backyard? Will we ever get there? In this episode, I talk about how doing the little things step by step, day by day, add up to the big things.

Quote Of The Week:

“I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”
– Mark Twain

Most of the things I’m afraid of happening never happen. Usually, the problem is between our ears. I unpack this quote and talk about different experiences with it.

Happy Wife, Happy Life:

What are some of the ways your spouse has made your life better? I think it’s important to recognize these things. There are many in my life; I talk about one important one here.

004-Can I Really Ask For That?

Can I really ask for that?

In this episode, I talk about the power of asking. Would I have gotten hired back with the WWE if I didn’t ask to speak with them? Is asking a girl out on a date eyeball to eyeball still a thing? How do we learn things if we don’t ask? How will you ever know if you don’t ask? I dive into this with examples of friends and my own experiences.

Quote Of The Week: “Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete.” John 16:23-24
Can we straight up ask God for things? I unpack this Scripture verse.

Happy Wife, Happy Life: Around 11:45 pm my wife is out of and in need of some feminine products. Why is she telling me? Is this even my responsibility??

003-It’s Not Personal

003-It’s Not Personal

In this episode, I talk about why it’s almost never personal if someone is rude to you. Also, things aren’t always what they seem-we can be quite sensitive at times! Why did my friend Roger have a problem with the guy at church? Why did I think WWE Superstar Goldust didn’t like me? Would you be offended if someone asked you where you were from?

Also in this episode:

Quote Of The Week: “Good is the enemy of the best.” Does this mean that I’m not content? Isn’t “good,” good enough? I unpack this quote and talk about how I have applied it in my own life.

Happy Wife, Happy Life: Be the kind of husband that gets other husbands in trouble! What are some things you can do to go above and beyond for your special lady?

002-From Pro Wrestler To Elementary School Art Teacher?

So how do you go from being a WWE pro wrestler to an elementary school art teacher? That’s a question I get asked often so I figured let’s talk about it!

I tell the story of the life changing events that occurred for me between my release from the WWE and my first day standing in front of a classroom as an elementary school teacher.

Also in this episode:

Quote of The Week: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”-Nelson Mandela. I unpack this quote a bit with some examples.

Happy Wife, Happy Life: My wife Rachael got called into work on her off day. Did she listen to my advice? Shouldn’t she always listen to what her husband has to say?? (hint: no.)

001-Just Do It.

001-Just Do It.

This is the FIRST OFFICIAL EPISODE of The Kris Pavone Show! Alright, let’s kick this baby off!!

Quote of the week: From Teddy Roosevelt, “Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

 

Happy Wife, Happy Life: What happens when I’m sent to Auto Zone 3 different times to get a replacement headlight for my wife’s car? It should have only been one trip!

 

Our Main Event: The title of this episode is called Just Do It. I talk about having dreams or goals and then taking some action necessary to make it happen. Don’t let fear stop you! I give examples from myself and people I have known over the years.
