Identify Root Cause Health Issues with Sarah Baker Jun 06, 2023

Do you suffer from an autoimmune disorder, underlying health condition, or chronic pain? All too often, our healthcare practitioners target the symptoms of these ailments: the pain, the sickness, etc. In this episode, Jacob's guest Sarah Baker shares a different approach. What if, instead of addressing symptoms, medicine targeted the root cause of the problem?

What you’ll learn from this episode:

The functional approach to medicine
The importance of identifying the root-cause of symptoms
Your 2 most important priorities: sleep and nervous system regulation

Sarah shows us that addressing only the symptoms for an illness is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound. Maybe it will help a little bit, but until the root cause is identified and the problem effectively treated, you won't be able to move forward and be the best you, you can be. This is Part 1 of a 2 Part Series.

Sarah Baker is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Integrative Nutritionist & Coach. Her passion is to help clients uncover the root cause of their health challenges, and to guide them through an approachable nutrition, health and lifestyle blueprint that is unique to them and easy to sustain. She has worked with clients from all over the U.S for 10 years, helping with lifestyle strategies they can implement at home, all while being a mom to her wonderful kids. Sarah is a published author of two books: Holistic Wellness and The Vegetarian Cookbook for Teens. You can also find her contributing to various morning shows in the Chicagoland area as an on-air health expert.

"Functional medicine recognizes that there's typically a root cause, hidden stressor, or conglomerate of different hidden stressors that work together and create the perfect storm for an illness or a health challenge or an imbalance." - Sarah Baker

Overcome Slumps in Energy, Creativity, & Passion May 16, 2023

Some days you feel your best: creative, high-energy, and ready to pour passion into your service mission. But other days, it feels like you just can't get into it. While your energy might ebb and flow, you know your meaningful work depends on your performance.

So what do you do when you're in a slump? In this quick tactical episode, Jacob Moore delivers practical tools for overcoming slowdowns and getting right back where you need to be. What you’ll learn from this episode:

Maximize your flow states by capturing ideas
Extract critical information to preserve for later
Create systems that work for you when you can't

These 3 steps can be a gamechanger when you're in a creative downturn. Remember not to be too hard on yourself, and rest in the hard work you've done already.

"To have a period of time where you have less inspiration, less passion, less ideas, less energy is perfectly normal. A lot of times it syncs up with seasons or with hormones, or with life events. And that's okay. Take care of yourself and do what you can. Feel confident knowing that you've done the work already." - Jacob Moore

Understand Your Unconscious Mind: Neuro Linguistic Programming with Michelle Ensuque Apr 25, 2023

Does it ever feel like nothing seems to be going right? Are you stuck in the rut of grueling routine? In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Michelle Ensuque, an expert in neurolinguistic programming, an alternative approach to self-reflection and personal change that might be just what you need to spur some action in your life.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

How to become aware of subconscious driving forces
How to investigate the source of the drivers
The power of employing empathy from a place of emotional maturity

Change in your life, brain, and being start with the awareness of what is happening within. It's easy to get caught up in the mundane aspects of life, or you may find yourself falling into the same patterns. But have you stopped and thought...Why?

Michelle Ensuque is an NLP coach whose project management and consultant career has spanned 30 years across public and private sectors. As a former serving officer of the Armed Forces, she overcame burnout in 2013 and now helps other people to look at the world in a different way so that they can live, rather than simply exist.

"I never really stopped and thought, "If this was somebody else in my situation and I could see them running themselves ragged, working, looking after two boys, being a single parent, trying to be perfect around the house, not having a social life...what would I say to that person? Because chances are, if that was your best mate, you would be going "what do you think you are doing?" Because this is not sustainable. But when it comes to ourselves, we seem to think that we can just continue in that way." - Michelle Ensuque

Strengthen Your Business Culture With Love with Bryan Trilli Apr 18, 2023

Think about the qualities of a thriving business culture. What comes to mind? You might consider efficiency, cooperation, skilled employees, and profits, but Jacob Moore's next guest, Bryan Trilli, tells us that another trait should be at the top of your list: love. Rather than seeing love as a rosy and fanciful ideal, Bryan clearly defines this strategic concept and shows how to practically apply love to your workplace environment.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

What love actually means
How love in the workplace boosts productivity
Boundary setting for yourself and your business culture

Substantial research shows that love in the workplace boosts employee morale, which leads to better productivity and a thriving culture. Entwining his years of experience with hours of research, Bryan Trilli brings us the latest strategy in helping you love where you work.

Bryan Trilli has bought or started 6 different businesses in 5 different industries in 4 different states from a brick-and-mortar service business to the #1 online company for computer vision training in the world.

After running a successful lead-gen agency, Optimized Marketing, Bryan decided that if his team truly is great at marketing, they should cut out the middle-man and buy and build companies they control.

That adventure led him to build worldwide remote teams which required an obsessive focus on culture - and love.

"If you really love somebody, what does that mean? The definition that I work off of is to will the good of another. Another word that's often used is charity. What's charity? That would mean doing something good without expectation of return. And that's essentially the same thing. That's how I would understand love." - Bryan Trilli

Achieving Stronger Operational Results Through Compassion with Mike Bushman Apr 11, 2023

Poor employee mental health is costing your business money and time: two very critical, but limited resources. In place of examining their workplace environment, however, most employers will instead place the blame entirely on their workers, making the deadly mistake of losing them. In this episode, Jacob Moore hosts Mike Bushman, who shares about the cost advantage of retaining employees, and the simple method of employing compassion to keep your passion alive and profits SOARing.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

The 3rd principle in RISE, AIM, SOAR: SOAR
The real-life cost of poor mental health in the workplace
How to approach every situation with compassion

During his long tenure as a leader, Mike has learned many lessons about guiding his employees through difficult times. He quickly found that investing time into skilled employees makes a real-life difference, and approaching every situation with a compassionate mindset can be the difference between poor business performance and great success. This is Part 3 of a 3 Part series.

Mike Bushman is a writer, speaker and trainer focused on mental health and suicide prevention. Mike serves as a board member with the Illinois Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), a volunteer with NoStigmas and as a Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid Instructor. Mike is the author of books Pain to Purpose: Teaching Teens to Lead, Foster and Engage the JKB Way and Suicide Escape that dive into the complexities of mental health. Mike created an evidence-based, vetted workplace mental health training program built on research, personal mental health experiences and years of managing individuals with various mental health challenges. He facilitated research groups on disclosure considerations for suicide attempt survivors for the National Consortium on Stigma and Empowerment. In addition to Youth and Teen Mental Health First Aid, Mike regularly conducts More Than Sad, Talk Saves Lives and other training programs on behalf of AFSP and has extensively shared his personal story of recovery and hope.

"When I'm struggling, my natural instinct is to withdraw. And what I've learned is that that's exactly when I need to reach out to my brothers, my friends, and other people that I know I'm going to have positive interaction with. Even though I might feel exhausted pretty quickly in dealing with that interaction, I need it." -Mike Bushman

Mission Mindset: Driving Outcomes Through Your Purpose Nov 15, 2022

This episode will teach you how to infuse a mission mindset into every aspect of your organization.

Here's what you'll learn on this episode:

Passion gets you started, but systems keep you going
When your mission drives your decisions, everything aligns
Your system/team/biz must operate without you in order to grow bigger than you

How to Align With Your True Purpose with Kate Kali Sep 13, 2022

What is your “I am” statement? How are you in alignment with your authentic self and how are you stepping into your full purpose? Host Jacob Moore invites Kate Kali to ‘download’ with you and get to the bottom of these deep questions in this mesmerizing episode that is truly life changing.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1. How to identify your true purpose

2. How to remove obstacles that block our path

3. Practical steps to actually live in your purpose

Kate Kali is a Psychosomatic Hypnotherapist and Neuro-Linguistic Programmer with over 16 years of experience working with the subconscious mind. And this is where we go to today, as we learn how hypnosis makes your mind more malleable, putting you in sovereignty with who you truly are. This is your chance to embrace curiosity and experience a subconscious rewiring that is as gentle as it is profound.

“We are a product of our neurological patterns. We live 95% of our lives repeating the same patterns over and over again. So if you're looking to find your purpose - or even just sink deeper into it - you have to take your awareness and move it outside of those patterns. You have to be in novelty; you have to be in expansion and in newness. And one of the ways to do that really easily is through hypnosis.” - Kate Kali
