#124: Boldness and Pussy Power with Biz Coach Julia Wells Jul 18, 2020

Julia Wells believes that women were built for receiving and that it's time to replace the usual "bro marketing" business approach. She believes that the more pleasure we have in our life, the more profit we can receive.

She grew up in a household where ‘sex’ and sexuality weren’t taboo topics, and so when she decided to start a career as a pussy-based business coach, her family wasn't surprised.

Today, she helps women scale their businesses online, empowering them, and building systems that honor woman-based leadership.

#120: Social Alchemy with Modern Elder Chip Conley May 28, 2020

When Chip Conley was first dubbed a “Modern Elder” by Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky, he hated it. Our collective impression of being an “elder” is an association to being old, and he didn’t want to be branded as the old guy. But Chip reclaimed and is helping change the way we all view aging. He embraced his role as an elder to his mentees.

In this episode, Chip shares his thoughts on what being a “Modern Elder” means and the power of collaborating with the younger generation. He also talks about environmental mastery and how he has embraced a servant leader role towards his much younger mentees.

In 2018, UBS Financial Service published a report which shows that millennial women abdicate their money more than the previous generation. To Vicky Lowell, this problem is merely a symptom of a prevailing narrative... that men are better than women when it comes to financial matters.

Vicky also talks about the importance of transparency between couples when it comes to finances and how your financial situation can affect your relationship in the long run.

#115: Shame, Fear, Love and Compassion - A Panel Discussion Apr 24, 2020

I've been thinking a lot recently about Shame and about the next stage of our Shelter in Place experience now that we are in the second month of the current Shelter in Place rulings. At the same time some states are lifting the restrictions and many people are protesting the bans. As is so often the case, when human being feel afraid we get reactive and either fight or flee. In my conversation with Sunne Justice, David Sauvage and Josh Whiton we talked about the connection between Shame and Fear, Compassion, then Love. But ultimately I think it might be about surrender, too. This came about because last week, I asked my friends what topics they thought I should create content. Sunne Justice, suggested that I write about the most Shameful think I've ever done, that lead to me changing my life forever. The woman doesn't pull any punches. So we got together the next day to talk about shame. I thought I'd share that conversation with you.

Learning at Home Interviews with Marlow Schmauder, Jamie Heston, and Jacki Rigoni

My personal top-level takeaways. I will also be compiling and sharing actionable ideas:

This is a sanctioned opportunity to connect with and learn about your self and your love ones (of all ages) and find glimmers and sparks of your innate love of learning. (Put the acquisition of content on hold as much as possible.)
Adopt a parent-as-consultant model rather than parent-as-manager. Get curious about, and with your kids and co-create your learning environment and plan.
Focus on meta-learning and meta-cognition skills now (and always) because learning how to learn is the most relevant and useful skill you can strengthen in yourself and scaffold for your kids. (I'll be sharing more on this in the next few days.)
Now is the time to put your attention on what you value, remember or identify your priorities, ask what is needed and how you can serve and bring good. This query is a great learning topic to share with kids.
If you're not sure of how much or how little structure to request or expect use my model of Consumption = Creation = Contribution. Try to ensure that you and your kids are doing all three in relatively equal measures.
Expand your understanding of what appropriate structure could and should look like.
Use the skills you know and find useful in your adult life at home and with your kids. Teach them productivity, communication skills, and any content expertise you are excited about. Leave the things you dislike about regular work at work. Embrace and use the opportunity to soften all of the edges that generally create conceptual and actual walls. All ages together, blending of work/learning/home/family, customization, pivoting as needed. So much possibility.

#109: Seeing the Deeper Design with Evolutionary Guide Jason McClain Mar 13, 2020

Jason McClain has been studying advanced models of interpersonal communication and personal development and applying them to real-world situations for over 25 years. He talks with Lisa about his company Evolutionary Companies and his work as an Evolutionary Guide, and how he works with clients to accelerate their personal and professional evolution. Jason shares some takeaways and wisdom from working with over 500 clients in their individual evolution, what NLP is, why it can help us move forward in life, and what healthy boundaries look like with the spiritual teacher/student relationship.

Super Power U Facebook Page

Highlights:

A big shift for Jason in his life was realizing that he loves being of service, and whatever makes an individual sad, happy, fearful, and hopeful is relative to their unique situation.
Jason is a vipassana meditator and has been on nine 10-day silent meditation retreats. He is an NLP master and holds NLP training classes and courses through his website.
Jason prefers to use the term “evolutionary guide” instead of coach, because he truly guides through stages, standing shoulder to shoulder.
Jason saw a profound shift when he opened up and spoke freely of his own experience in prison, and people appreciated the honesty and authenticity.
Great and ethical leaders have the responsibility of identifying and upholding boundaries.
One way to steer the conversation more towards growth and understanding between males and females is to stop blaming every problem in the world on masculinity and start having an open dialogue with clear boundaries between each other.
The Four Agreements are the foundation of any healthy relationship:

Tell the truth, value truth, and prioritize truth over comfort.
We don’t hold each other to agreements we have not made.
If you are upset, make a request.
You are responsible for your own experience.

One of Jason’s many Super Powers is seeing people even deeper than they can see themselves, and predicting outcomes of situations before they occur.

Quotes:

“You really can overcome everything, it’s all about mindset.”

“If you are scared to say it, it’s definitely the thing to say.”

“Language really does structure our experience.”

“There isn’t enough positive acknowledgment in the world.”

“What’s next is always better.”

#79: Rebranding Aging - A SOLO Show with Lisa Betts-LaCroix Jun 06, 2019

Today's Episode is a SOLO show in which Lisa describes the essence of her talk "Rebranding Aging" and her commitment to changing the cultural narrative about what it means to get old by inspiring and encouraging others to write new stories.

She describes the path she took from being a homeschooling mother committed to her family and her community at age 49, discovering ballroom dance and falling in love with it. She tells the story of discovering competition and eventually winning a World title in her age category which led to speaking on stages and performing dance.

But lest you think it's all a rah-rah Pollyanna story Lisa also tells about the heartbreaks that led to her deepened commitment to Rebranding Aging and the clarity that came from the support of her community

and the understanding that our nature as people (and especially as women) is to constantly reinvent and rebloom.

Help Lisa take this message to the world by recommending her talk for conferences and events for:

Longevity, Biotech and Anti-aging Medical Communities
Women's Future and Empowerment Events
Corporate and Media communities who will benefit from understanding the power of this demographic

She’s Bold Podcast

Interview with Lisa on She's Bold

Highlights:

So much of the work Beth does now is giving back to other women to see the world and flourish. She saw opportunities that her mother didn’t have, and wants to create possibility in others.
Beth started challenging herself with solo travel and combined her love of riding a motorcycle with travel to show women it is possible to do that type of trip.
One of Beth’s favorite things about international travel is the connection it creates between her and the people providing help and guidance.
A few of Beth’s favorite countries are Bhutan, Papa New Guinea, and Australia.
Travel provides an experience where we are stripped from our everyday life, and it opens us to be so much more in tune with the world around us.
Beth did P90X to get in shape for her SnowMan Trek, which led her to train for a marathon. She is always busting limiting beliefs about her capabilities and stretching her own personal limitations.
You can be both adventurous and safe at the same time. It is important when traveling to be respectful to the people living in the community, and boldness doesn’t have to mean fearless.

Quotes:

“Being able to travel and get out my home life was the key.”

“When your desire is greater than your fear, that is the switch.”

“I like to challenge myself and the idea of not doing something is crazier to me than actually doing it.”

“The world is a wonderful, amazing place.”

Life Lessons:

Never say never.
Be aware of the stories you tell yourself and the words you speak.
