120: How to Shift Your Reality with Kenton David Bell (Part 2) Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

“Everything that happens is positive. If something looks bad at the moment, it's how we perceive it and how we roll with it, that’s a true sign of our mastery or lack of it.” -Kenton David Bell

This week, our theme is about transformation in action with Transformational Coach Kenton David Bell. Kenton is an expert in helping his clients identify practical applications to the complex concepts that baffle their minds. Thus, propelling them forward to the reality that they want. At times, we find ourselves in constant warfare against uncertainty and fear. And this conversation is empowering as we learn that struggles are optional, and we don't have to add them to our bag of experiences if we don't want to.

Maybe you still remember those days when you were sitting in science class and listening to what seemed like an unending lecture about time and space, power and force, and energy fields. And until now, you still can't figure out how that can help you be successful in life and your business. Today, Kenton teaches how these scientific jargons can shift our reality. He also talks about how to merge the mind with consciousness, break the 'traffic' with the energy of compassion, reframe our life to where we want to be, envision with intention, and so much more!

119: How to Step Into Your Purpose and Destiny with Jonathan Masiulionis Oct 30, 2020

Show notes

“Hold that vision that the greatest memories, moments, and experiences of your life have not even happened yet.” -Jonathan Masiulionis

This week, we will have a blast talking about purpose and destiny with Jonathan Masiulionis, President of Empowered Publicity. Jonathan helps entrepreneurs, innovators, authors, and dreamers stand out in their line of service and expand their audience.

The search for purpose is one of those eternal topics with utmost importance. How do you find what your calling is? Are you worthy of it? What should you do if you are overwhelmed with fear and doubt? Is it worth taking the risk? These questions remain a mystery because sometimes, distorted illusions come to play. As a result, unhappiness, feelings of failure, and emptiness became a part of our dictionary. Today, these negative feelings are about to turn into their positive counterparts as Jonathan shares how we can step into our purpose and destiny. He also talks about healing the soul, overcoming roadblocks, finding grace in our mission, being in alignment, and embracing our light and shadows.

If your life purpose knocks on your door today, will you be ready? If you are one of those who want to answer that question with a hearty YES!, click the link below and follow this conversation:

118: How to Find Your Unique Gift and Get Paid For It with Cori Willis Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

“As long as you don't claim your gift, you can continue to let somebody else be the leader of your life.” -Cori Willis

In this episode, I sit with Cori Willis, the author of Gifted for Greatness. Cori helps her clients find and monetize their unique gifts. Cori and I discuss why sometimes, we feel like there's a big hole in our lives. We know we should be doing something different, but that picture is either vague or scary. The question of purpose and feeling of emptiness keep plaguing our hearts. And as much as we would want to pivot and move towards the things that make us happy, certain factors stop us from taking risks or changing course. The good news is that we do not have to tear our entire life down to find that gift. Today, Cori shares what a gift is and her unique approach to finding it. She talks about how deviating away from our gift manifests in different ways, why we should embrace our quirkiness, how to build our intellectual property, and why we should be more aware of the data points in our life. We have been programmed to follow the traditional path, but not anymore! We hold the responsibility to reevaluate our life path and direct how our story is supposed to be.

The only person who can tell if you're doing good is yourself. If you're ready to stop playing "good girl/boy" and following what others want instead of your own, click the link below to learn how you can show up with your unique gift and get paid to do what you love:

117: How to Turn Your ADHD Struggle Into Your ADHD Power! with Jeremy Finck Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

“Make everything you do resonate with who you are. And when you do that, a lot of those tasks get easier, less painful, and manageable.” -Jeremy Finck

This week, I interview Jeremy Finck, Founder of ThinckFinck Media and Coaching and Host of ADHD Brains Radio. Jeremy helps adults with ADHD understand and manage their own ADHD experience. You can say this conversation is personal, at least for me, as I am one of the many entrepreneurs out there living with ADHD. It is not a general topic in the entrepreneurial world when we think about the possibility of success for someone with this condition. But we have enough, even too much information and anecdotal evidence to conclude that ADHD can be a superpower if managed and leveraged in the right way. And that is what Jeremy teaches us today. Jeremy helps us understand the challenges and appreciate the unique characteristics of living with ADHD. He also talks about the misconceptions around ADHD and two of the most salient points to remember about this condition. Our society was biased in portraying ADHD by focusing and emphasizing it in a negative light. But with a more enlightened perspective, the world will see that ADHD entrepreneurs can succeed, and they are often the best guys to work with.

116: The Secret of Great Decision-Making Most People Forget with Julie Gallivan Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

“Clarity is the answer to all decision-making questions. How and what you're creating is an expression of who you are.” -Julie Gallivan

In this episode, we are having a magnified view of decision-making with Decision-Making Strategist and Clarity Coach Julie Gallivan. Julie describes decision-making as our silent partner. Most of the time, we make decisions without being mindful of it. Simple tasks such as deciding on what to eat, what to wear, where to buy certain things, and everything we do throughout the day requires decision-making. However, there are also compound problems where we need to use our mental faculties to the full. But, with the hustle, fear, and confusion that arise with these dilemmas, decision-making becomes the hardest thing in the world. We even intentionally distract ourselves only to get away with it. Until then, do we realize that we've never truly paid attention to how we've been making decisions all along. Of course, we can't keep putting-off these issues. As they pile up, we find ourselves more overwhelmed and more frustrated. Worst, we attempt to duplicate what others do, deceiving ourselves that we'll attain the same level of success they hold by doing so. We never want to find ourselves in that situation ever! So today, Julie reminds us of that one critical element that we often forget about decision-making: clarity. Julie talks about the role of our vision and identity in the choices we make. She also talks about how our resources, challenges, and patterns affect our judgments. Most importantly, Julie explains how we can structure our decision-making process, so we can take practical steps towards success.

115: How to be a Spiritual Person in a Material World with Bachi Nyangar Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

“Spiritual thinking is the understanding about the spiritual world and also living in harmony with modern life and mother nature.” -Bachi Nyangar

Bachi Nyangar, Founder of Travel Mongolia, occupies the guest’s seat this week. This conversation is not only enlightening because of the spiritual aspects we’ve talked about but also liberating as we understand that our struggle to keep positive thinking always at work lies in just one thing. We are not talking about any particular belief or religious institution but in our role as spiritual beings. We often keep our spiritual and secular lives separate because of all the hypocrisies and controversies surrounding that concept. But seeing as how it creates disconnection in our whole being, it’s about time we harmonize our dimensions and live as we’re supposed to be. Bachi expounds on what spiritual thinking is, which is also the theme of his upcoming book. He also elaborates on why positive thinking works, the balance between the good and the bad, the significance of the way we name things, and the urgent need to reconnect with mother nature.

We’ve heard about all the wildfires devastating California and Bachi is out for another rapid response to solve this problem. Click the link below and learn how you can be of support:

114: Success or Fulfillment? Don’t Choose; Have Both! with Jesse Brisendine Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

“Your world is full of everyone else trying to be someone else. Just be you. Don't be afraid to magnify that piece of you that's uniquely you because it can take you to some incredibly extraordinary places.” -Jesse Brisendine

We have another incredible guest this week: Jesse Brisendine, host of A Handful of Hope Podcast and creator of Zero Limits Coaching. Jesse helps his clients weave together success and fulfillment, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Maybe you still remember when you were in school analyzing The Great Gatsby or memorizing all the tricky math equations. After spending all those years, it’s funny how we barely remember anything at all. What’s not laughable is, how after graduation, we have to throw those concepts away and start learning how life works. Now, the hard work of unlearning some of the things we were programmed to believe and discovering who we are and what we want begins.

In this episode, we learn how to avoid default drift patterns and empower ourselves. Jesse focuses on two things of which ironically, act as our superpower and archenemy at the same time: our thoughts and our emotions. While growing up, we learned that we must take control of our situation, which is mission impossible in itself (unless we are agent 007!). Rather than taking over the things we have little or no control over, Jesse shares how we can show accountability in the emotions resulting from those circumstances. He also talks about how we can extract a part of our pain and use it to create a picture of our vision and purpose in life. We want to live a meaningful life and be able to teach our children how to do the same. With that, you may be interested in Jesse’s advice on how to be an active observer and participant in your kid’s life.

113: BAR40- How to Move Towards Your Best Year Ever! with Eric Bartosz Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

"Everyday, each of us, is the author of our own life story based on our choices, habits, and actions. At the same time, history is not destiny. Each morning brings a fresh page we get to write on to decide where the plot goes next." -Eric Bartosz

Eric J. Bartosz, the Founder of BAR40, stops by this week in our KPKG stage. A day in our lives revolves mainly around hassles and hustles. There are even times (if not most of the time) when we start to wonder if we’re still alive! The set up of our society sucks the joy out of our lives. But not anymore! Eric’s Bar 40 Method counteracts that default we’re programmed to follow. I am particularly intrigued by his methodology that combines self-empowerment and fun. Today, Eric expands more on how the Bar40 method works, along with our goal of becoming the best version of ourselves. He shares two ways we usually look at things, how these perceptions affect how we react, how we can balance ambition and acceptance, and how to set up a new standard for personal excellence in our terms. The Bar40 method is sustainable and fun. Nobody wants to show up feeling anxious and stressed out. Stop cheating on yourself! It is your responsibility to hold yourself accountable for your success and happiness.

112: How Nature Can Help You Beat Stress & Trauma (See Visible Results!) with Connor Moriarty Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

“Nature heals and is able to overcome these devastating events, and we are a part of nature- we have that same capability! And while it's hard to feel when we're completely overwhelmed with the intensity and the violence of it all, that is when we need most to calm ourselves, get outside as much as possible, and reconnect with what matters.” -Connor Moriarty

Nature is such an inspiring wonder! And today, I am pleased to converse with a fellow advocate for outdoor healing: the Founder of Reset Outdoors, Connor Moriarty. With all that’s happening now, I became more passionate about the need for clarity and tranquility as I do with every JayWalking Session. Before the pandemic hits, the world remained and continued with its usual business, and we, as citizens of it, have never realized how much we’re wearing ourselves out to a shadow. Today’s discussion is well in its season as we face harder times along with all the stresses and traumas going on. Connor explains how burnout is slowly devouring us and how to turn that around and achieve health and balance by learning from and getting close to nature. He also elaborates on Adverse Childhood Experiences and its effect on health and performance even as the person grows older.

111: The Quantum Physics You Need When Things Are Not Working Out- No Complex Science; Only Practical Applications! with Lenka Lutonska Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

“We're designed to have desires only around things that we're meant to do… You just need to adjust your setting so you can experience it fully.” -Lenka Lutonska

This week, we have Lenka Lutonska in the house, the Limitless Millionaire Mentor and author of Energetic Selling and Marketing. We all have times when, despite having done everything we can, things aren’t working out the way we want them to be. At times, we’re perplexed just thinking what went wrong or whether we are meant to do what we’re trying to accomplish. Today, Lenka offers a unique perspective on energetic alignment and how it alters our present. Her advice is actually based on Quantum Physics, which we can find practical applications for. She also talks about how the “lack mentality” can get us in trouble, especially when working with a business partner, how to get into the higher thinking mode, and how to work energetically. On top of that, Lenka shares one exercise that can instantly empower the mind, the whopping distinction between ego and intuition, and ways to determine whether you should build a community in the social media space and if you do, how to make it work.
