Applying Personal Agility to Unlock Your Passion w/Maria Matarelli EP 6 Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Wish to learn techniques that can work wonders for your professional life and your personal life? Today's episode will teach you how you can apply personal agility to unlock your passion and creativity. In today’s show, we interview Maria Matarelli, CEO of Formula Ink and co-founder of the Agile Marketing Academy and Personal Agility Institute, where she reveals how her agile management strategies can catapult you miles ahead of the competition both in your business and personal life. Always a hard charger, Maria started working at 15 and paid her way through college. When she entered professional life, she decided to pursue agile project management – which was then an unknown field with very few experts. Maria progressed quickly through the corporate ranks, and as a 22-year-old, she was managing a 120-person team and saving her employer $1.5 million every year through her project management expertise. So, when she was handed out a measly 5% increment, Maria decided to push back against the system, and ultimately, she managed to wrangle out a 100% salary increase. This win proved to be the turning point for Maria as she realized that if she worked hard enough and made herself indispensable, she could bend the rules. After some more agile project management stints, Maria decided to branch out by kickstarting her own consultancy. While this was a brave and farsighted decision, the first year-and-a-half certainly tested Maria’s mettle. Maria went all out to realize her vision, from running through her entire bank balance to buying one-way tickets to Thailand and India. Agile techniques, Maria reveals, can help you improve not only on a professional level but also personally. So, if you are routinely bouncing off things, lack consistency and follow-through, then listening to Maria will surely help you out. Enjoy! Questions That I Ask In This Show

How do you transition from the insurance industry to agile management consultancy?
Can you recall your AH-HA moment?
How did you overcome your fears and doubts when you were starting?
What do you do to stay on top of the market?
Do you recall your first big success? What did it feel like?
How have you applied your agile methodology to your personal life?
How did you make a name for yourself as a DJ?
Why did I see you wearing a T-Rex Costume?
Where do I get my own money gun?

What Matthew McConaughey Taught Me About Showing Up w/John R. Miles EP5 Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

What is the one thing that Matthew McConoughey taught me which had a profound impact on my life? It’s the importance of showing up. Matthew was a regular at our weekly congregation in Austin. He would show up unfailingly with his entire family, bring along his co-stars, and even mix freely with everyone. This had a huge impact on my son, who was facing a particularly tough time in middle school then. Matthew also made me realize that I need to be more present for my family, irrespective of my busy professional life. In today’s show, I reveal the three things that you can do so that you can show up every single day. If you feel that you need to set your priorities right and have been unfair to your loved ones, listening to today’s show will particularly help you out. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

Three Ways you can show up every single day.

David Dang On The Secret to Building a Magnetic Brand EP 4 Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

In today’s show, we interview Digital Marketing Specialist and Instagram Expert David Dang, who shares his distilled wisdom on the secret to building a magnetic brand. You will learn how he discovered his superpower, which has helped him evolve into one of the most sought-after Instagram experts today. In 2006, when David moved to Canada from Vietnam, he did not speak a single English word. Over the years, he overcame this handicap by listening to audiobooks. This is what stoked his passion for personal development and business. David was quick to realize that he was not cut out of corporate America. And while he was keen on starting his business, he had to find something that did not require a huge capital investment. And this is when he stumbled onto online business. When David graduated with his marketing degree, he already had a flourishing eCommerce business. However, he did not monetize his Instagram for the first two years. In this period, David shared helpful and valuable content that made him magnetic to his ideal clients. You will learn the importance of discovering your WHY and picking your career path for the right reasons. If you view your career as a means to an end, you will find yourself low on drive and passion sooner or later. However, if you have the right mindset and are enjoying every minute of it, you will surely find the success that you rightly deserve. Tune in for some golden nuggets!

Hugh Campbell On The Key to Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur EP 1 Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

Ever wondered how successful business leaders constantly re-invent themselves? And, how they emerge even stronger after every crisis? Today's episode will discuss just that and the key to becoming a successful entrepreneur. In today’s show, we have Hugh Campbell, a five-time serial entrepreneur and founder, AC4S Technologies, who shares his wisdom on growth, innovation, and integrity. You will learn how Hugh went from being a West Point graduate to successfully running a half-a-billion-dollar business. After graduating from Military Academy at West Point, Hugh worked at a data-communications company, Intermedia Communications, for a bit. He soon found VC backing and ventured out on his own with Accelacom, Inc. – a high-speed internet company. This business really took off, and ironically, Hugh became a victim of his own success. Eager to cash out, the VCs sold off the business in bits and pieces, and Hugh was forced to reinvent himself yet again. Wanting great autonomy after this bittersweet experience, Hugh founded the cloud-solution company AC4S technologies. In this segment of the show, you will learn the importance of looking forward, taking calculated risks, and surrounding yourself with trusted advisors. Particularly, Hugh talks about the watershed moment in his career after which AC4S Technologies really took off. We also have a heartfelt discussion on the importance of integrity. Regarding the recent cheating scandal at West Point, both Hugh and John share their thoughts on conducting your personal and professional life with the utmost integrity. As the CEO of the Council of Tampa Bay, Hugh also shares how he is helping create a safe space for CEOs to share their challenges and struggles with their like-minded counterparts. Towards the end, we have some excellent advice for young people on the cusp of their professional life. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show

Mac Brazina on Why Your Biggest Competitor is You EP 2 Feb 16, 2021

Show notes

In today’s show, we have a chat with human building coach, Mac Brazina who shares her thoughts on cultivating mental toughness, self-care, and women’s empowerment. When Mac first started Human Builder, she was focusing solely on physical training. However, she soon found her true calling, which was helping her clients cultivate a stellar mindset. Be it the boxing ring, business, or life in general; you will learn that your biggest competition is with yourself.

In today’s show, Mac encourages one and all to have an open discussion on mental wellness. We share some great self-care tips so that you forge ahead instead of internalizing your pain. Enjoy!
