The Kellen Roland Show

Hi I am Kellen Roland and this is my show. I am 36 years old and have found a way to be successful in this world. Growing up bi racial in government housing the odds were stacked against me. In this show I share the stories and lessons that helped me break through. My goal is to help you break through whatever obstacle is in front of you. Wrapped in these stories there will be good times, laughter, coffee, Lakers and downright silliness. If you aren't having fun you won't find the fuel to do what it takes to thrive. Thank you for giving the show a chance. Your time is valuable and I am grateful you spent some time with me. ~ Kellen Thank you for listening. Please rate, review and subscribe.

HI Everyone, It's hard for me to hit publish on this episode but I feel obligated to share my thoughts. I grew up in Thousand Oaks CA and went to Agoura High school. In the same week there was a mass shooting that left 12 people killed at Borderline and thousands evacuated from Agoura, Oak Park, Malibu and the surrounding areas. As a kid we literally joked how Agoura was a bubble. That bubble was bursted last week. Here are a few links to help both the victims and families of the Mass Shooting and the Woosley Fire. https://ktla.com/2018/11/08/how-to-help-victims-of-thousand-oaks-mass-shooting/ https://www.vcstar.com/story/news/2018/11/09/ventura-county-help-fire-thousand-oaks-mass-shooting-victims/1947640002/ https://ktla.com/2018/11/10/how-to-help-victims-of-woolsey-hill-fires/ Here is a link the local representative in Thousand Oaks.

I can't believe we're already at episode 20. Thank you for participating in this journey. "20. Stop Caring About Being Liked Make Your Own Rules" This episode is all about changing the world around you through small actions. For example take some unwanted clothes and box them up and send them to someone in need. Or smile at a stranger. The other major point of this episode is to encourage you to radically change the way you look at social media. I talk a lot about this book in the show. https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1501197274 Thank you for listening. Please rate, review and subscribe.

"Why You Need a Morning Routine and The War For Our Attention" In Episode 19 I dive deep into my morning routine. I take you through each step and what the result is for me. My goal is not to convince you to adopt my exact routine. Rather I am showing the value of a routine. Every company is going to war over the rights for your attention. Our ability to stay focused is the difference between winning and loosing. A daily routine builds the discipline required to stay focused. I reference experts that influence my daily routines.

This is my favorite episode I've done to date. I was brutally honest about why I am single, what my daily routine is and how that comes into play with dating. I talk about my experience on dating apps or lack there of. Is it a young mans game? I also talk about some of the new music I love and of course I have a few coffee recommendations for you. In the end it all comes down to my life goal and what I am willing to change. Let's do everything we can to live in the now and enjoy life.

In this episode I discuss a few life lessons I picked up from Jerry Seinfeld in his show Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee! He teaches us not to care what other people think. He also has some interesting ideas on privacy while in public. After a few episodes I finally get back to coffee recommendations.

A while back I decided to wear all white. It lasted for 6 months. In this episode I talk about how that clothing experiment lead me to uncover a deep-rooted self-perception issue. The interesting part is how being self-conscious turned into self-confidence. Here is a link to the Episode where I talk about wearing all white for 6 months. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kellen-roland-show/id1403033336?mt=2&i=1000414472275 Thank you!

As a life long Lakers fan having LeBron James comes with mixed emotions. How quickly a player can go from your arch nemesis to savior. There is no doubt bring LBJ to the Lakers was the ultimate boss move but I need to get some stuff of my chest before we start this romance. I have to say it feels good to be a contender again. The last few years have been dark. Go Lakers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
