170 - "Live & Love Beyond Your Dreams" with Riana Milne (@RianaMilne) Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

"Avoid cheap drama.” - Riana Milne

Today's featured bestselling author is Global Certified Life & Love Coach, educational speaker, Certified Trauma and Addictions Professional, Psychotherapist and fellow podcast host, Riana Milne. Riana and I talk about why 9 out of 10 people struggle in life and love. There's a bonus gift below if you want more to compliment what you heard in this episode.

*Free Gift for the Northbound Success Community from Riana: www.HavetheLoveYouDeserve.com *

Key Takeaways:

Avoid the trap of “same person different face”.

Life is too short to tolerate a toxic relationship.

Trauma stays stored in the body and the brain until you become aware of it.

Childhood trauma is generational and is known for being around for at least 3 generations.

Some people lie too much because they used lying as a survival tool when they were a kid.

When you are in a relationship with your significant other, have the mentality of “It’s us against the world”.

Always cherish your partner and make them feel safe.

Have a fulfilling individual life before seeking a partner.

“Enjoy the journey and don’t be summit obsessed.” - Amy Simpkins

Today's featured author is innovation catalyst, MIT-trained engineer, speaker and the "Queen of Big Ideas", Amy Simpkins. Amy and I talk about her book, growing through change and tons more!!

Key Takeaways:

Constant learning keeps life interesting.

What’s important to you now may not be important to you in a different phase of your life.

“I think big thoughts.”

Spend some time in the confusion phase to get to the solution phase.

“All parenting is chaos.”

Who do you want to be?

Contrary to popular opinion, some engineers love hugs.

It’s okay not to know when starting out and seeking to become more innovative.

We need to allow ourselves to grow through change.

Show notes

“I’m always looking for what can I learn next.” - Clyde Middleton

Today's featured author is active Toastmaster, John Maxwell Team Certified Coach, Teacher, and Speaker, Clyde A. Middleton. Clyde and I talk about his new book and the power of believing in the right words.

Key Takeaways:

Waking up on this side of the grass is a good day.

Never let someone else’s opinion guide the rest of your life.

Someone else’s opinion of me doesn’t define you.

We are luckier than we think we are.

If you want to grow you have to change your environment.

One big decision in your life can make a major difference in your life.

Attitude is everything and it determines how we far get in life.

You can accomplish anything if you are willing to pay the price.

Have a gratitude mindset.

166 - "Inmate 458627" with Rashad "Bowtie" Mills (@RashadMills629) Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

“Control your emotions or they will be controlled for you.” - Rashad "Bowtie" Mills

Today's featured author is licensed therapist, broadcast journalist, radio host and motivational speaker, Rashad "Bowtie" Mills. Rashad and I talk about his new book, the story behind it and lessons he learned from 101 days of extreme self-development.

Key Takeaways:

You always have to invest and re-invest in your book after it’s published.

Some things are meant to happen in their own time.

The book you intend to write may end up as a different book that others may need to read.

Growth is possible for everyone.

An educated man of color has a higher chance of going to jail once they are in court because of your status as a successful and educated black man.

You are more resilient than you believe and your moments of “hell” help you discover it when you overcome it.

Don’t be stuck on your past so much that you don’t move forward to a bigger future.

Show notes

“Motivation is very temporal.” - Treveal Lynch

Today's featured author is minister and personal trainer, Treveal CW Lynch. Treveal and I have a deep conversation about his newest book, the power of words and more!!!

Key Takeaways:

See yourself as a great contribution to society.

Get actual rest.

Comparisons are what you believe what you don’t have.

True happiness lies within you and not things.

Happiness is what people understand but self-satisfaction is what we truly desire.

One thing you say may mean everything to one person because our words have power.

Your encouragement may help someone change their life for the better.

“Our very lives are a contribution.”

“Live your best existence for you.”
