THE12: Remove the Layers of Guilt and Shame to Live Your Best Life Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

My guest is my new hero. Seriously. Here’s why. We’ve all been through a variety of struggles and adversity throughout childhood and our teenage years.

When things happen, it’s common as a child or young adult to keep it to themselves. It’s often difficult to process or make sense of why things are happening to you the way they are. And so you begin to think it’s your fault or you must have done something wrong to provoke or cause atrocious behavior. Those were the thoughts of our guest today.

Meet Charlene Feathers. Today, Charlene is a brilliant and successful coach, speaker and author who helps so many find the peace and success they are seeking.

She’s my hero because, as you’ll hear from her story, she spent years covering up and feeling guilt and shame for the tremendous abuse she endured in her life.

This was everything from physical abuse multiple times at a young age, living in foster care and not understanding why, emotional abuse, and sexual abuse.

Charlene was able to finally peel off the layers of guilt and shame to become the very person she was all along.

It’s a story you don’t want to miss. And one that you’ll agree couldn’t have a completely different ending. Here we go...

THE11: You Can Use These Same Traits That All Leaders Have To Improve Your Life Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

When you hear the word leader, what comes to mind? Perhaps the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or the General of a big army?

That used to be my visual until I realized every one of us are leaders in a variety of ways throughout our day to day lives.

You are the leader of your household, for example. Meaning you are the one responsible for making sure all the tasks get done. You, as leader, need to determine WHAT needs to get accomplished, everything from laundry, bills, dinner, shopping, clothing for the kids, toys for the kids, driving to and from their activities, and a hundred other things that fall in your lap as the leader of your world.

Leadership is a skill that can (and should) be learned by you, no matter where you apply it your life.

My guest today is a smart man. It’s Ron Carucci. He and his company is your first phone call when you’re a CEO and senior executive of a big corporation and things aren’t going as planned.

It’s no secret that not all “leadership” is created equal. Ron and his consulting firm led a ten-year study which included over 2700 leadership interviews to help fully understand the big and small pictures.

This study revealed the consistent display of mastery across four highly-correlated dimensions, that he details in our talk. It’s fascinating. And it’s something that anyone can implement at any point in their careers.

In fact, I also ask him directly if this type of leadership can be applied to my role as a father, parenting my two amazing children.

Leadership comes in all shapes and sizes and appears in many different places in our lives, in and out of the office.

Ron’s personal life, like most everyone’s, isn’t without early heartache and loss, but the way he got himself through it over the years is inspiring.

I’m sure you’ll hang on Ron’s every word like I did. Here we go…

THE10: Is Self-Discipline The Most Important Part of the Puzzle? Aug 29, 2018

Show notes

Self Discipline… We all want an ideal life for ourselves… so how do we actually get that? How do we make that happen?

You ask anyone want they want, and they are going to paint this beautiful grand vision for themselves. But too often we never come close to that reality.

And honestly, as the saying goes from Napoleon Hill, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!”

So where do we fall short with those extraordinary dreams we have for ourselves. Well, as you know, to achieve anything, it takes action, right? You can make progress by simply thinking about something or visualizing your path.

While that’s an important step in the process, it’s only part of the process. The other big piece of the puzzle is action.

Without consistent action, nothing gets accomplished… And nobody likes to do something they don’t like to do… Sometimes you do something because you HAVE to, and sometimes you do something because you LIKE to.

I think that’s really where self discipline comes into the mix. Do I like to get up at 6am every day and work out… Not usually… but on the other hand, I’m excited to do it because of the OUTCOME that provides me.

Focus on the reason behind your actions… focus on the OUTCOME it will provide.

I know this dialogue with Anmol Singh will help. Here we go...

THE09: Bringing Fun and Play into Your Success Aug 22, 2018

Show notes

How much is FUN a part of your day to day business? How much is FUN a part of your day to day life? Perhaps more to the point, how important is PLAY, EXPLORATION and BONDING to everything you do?

My guest found the sweet spot between creating a business that supports him financially with a business that is not only fun and exciting for him, but one that literally adds that dimension to corporations.

Meet Dr. Clue, aka Dave Blum, who creates puzzle-based treasure hunts in and around cities all across the land for corporations to use as their team building events and outings for their employees.

So much good comes out of that for all involved. But what’s even more fascinating is that Dave was able to merge all of his passions, skills and abilities into this career when, at 32 years old, he was at a job working under a CEO with a “volcanic temper” all the while making $11.75 an hour.

He’s certainly a case study for following your bliss and making a desired change at any time in your life.

Let’s listen in to the Treasure Hunt Master himself… Here we go...

THE08: Sully Plane Crash Survivor on Appreciation of Life Aug 15, 2018

Show notes

Probably to no surprise, this episode is profound in many ways and personally helped me approach the smaller moments in my day to day life in a different way.

What do I mean? Our guest is Dave Sanderson. Dave was one of 155 passengers and crew to all survive “The Miracle on the Hudson”, United Flight 1549 as it crashed into the Hudson River back in 2009. As you know, the details of the extraordinary event were made into the Hollywood movie, Sully.

Our guest became the last passenger off of the plane and from take off to crash landing was only 6 minutes. Dave details what he was going through mentally and emotionally 60 seconds, 90 seconds, 120 seconds prior to hitting the water, literally seeing his life flash before his eyes, having to accept the worst case scenario.

This conversation allowed me to consider what I would do, in any tragic circumstance, if I knew my life was coming to an end in the next few minutes.

Would I be comfortable with my life choices? Would I be comfortable with how all relationships are left? Would I be comfortable with the person I have been?

Asking myself these questions has allowed me to deliberately and consciously live in the present in every small moment.

You know life is precious. Tragedy occurs at any time and often without warning. Life can change in a split second. It did that day for Dave. He’s been given a second chance.

Ask yourself those difficult questions about your own actions, your own choices, and your own relationships. If tragedy struck and it all was coming to an in the next few minutes, could you right now make peace with that? It’s never too late to change old habits or patterns that no longer serve you.

I hope this discussion with Dave helps you make the better choices like it did for me. Here we go...

THE07: PRIMILITY. The Results of Properly Inserting Pride and Humility into All You Do Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

Our Guest is Jerod Morris.

I could easily title this episode "Two Dads Talking" because as it turned out, my guest is also a fairly new father. He has a two year old daughter. And while we compare some notes about the trials and tribulations of fatherhood, we go deeper in one specific direction that still completely impresses me.

Our guest is Jerod Morris and over ten years ago he coined the word PRIMILITY. As he details in our chat, primility is a combination of the words PRIDE and HUMILITY.

The more we get into the basis of primility, the more you realize how deep those two words connect with everything we do and permeate so much of our daily existence.

I’ve know Jerod for almost 5 years now, had the absolute pleasure of having him speak in person at one of my live events and you’ll quickly see that Jerod is one of the most down to earth, likable people you’ll ever come across.

I’ve already listened to this episode multiple times and am sure you’re going to enjoy "Two Dads Talking"... here we go.

THE06: Learn How To Be Calm and Remove Anxiety From Your World Aug 01, 2018

Show notes

This episode with guest Nicola Taggart is impactful for one main reason; it’s about learning how to be calm. And this is something I’ve struggled with for so much of my life.

Being calm is simply about being intentional with the energy you bring into the world and into your experience. Another way of saying that is to consider your reaction (or response) to things.

Your reaction is simply based on your interpretation of things or an event around you. Or, the meaning you give to a situation or thing around you.

How you interpret that thing ~ the meaning you give it ~ will absolutely dictate how you respond, how you react, and what energy you then put out into the world.

All that can quickly have you feeling out of control and full of anxiety. Certainly that was the case for me for quite a long time.

Personally, I was able to make small, consistent adjustments to my thought pattern, my well being, my eating and sleeping habits, I’ve begun meditating which has been game changing… until slowly but surely my anxiety reduces to a level that I am in full control of.

I call my guest today “the Queen of Calm” not only because she is the creator of the Calm the Chaos Journal, but because she has mastered the ways you can calm the chaos of your internal world and your external world.

I hope this episode has as much positively calming impact on your day to day life as it’s had on mine. Here we go...

THE05: How An Attitude of Giving Leads to Your Success Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

I’ve known and have been connected online with Bob Burg for a handful of years now. Anyone who follows him, or personally knows him, quickly feels a sense of connection.

What’s most impressive about Bob is not his list of extraordinary accomplishments (that includes over three quarters of a million copies sold of his classic and iconic book The Go-Giver), but rather it’s how down to Earth and simply relatable he is.

His teachings and methods for living a wildly successful life through a business you adore are shockingly simple.

For example, The Go Giver book is broken down into the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and The First Law, The Law of Value, simply says "your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment."

As you’ll hear through our dialogue, you immediately feel a sense of warmth and a genuine desire to be present and helpful with whoever is in his presence.

Bob was recently inducted into the National Speaker Association Hall of Fame (after 30 years as a professional speaker, and still going strong) and I am honored to welcome him to our show.

I know you’ll enjoy every minute with Bob Burg. Here we go...

THE04: Serve Those Directly in Front of You by Following Your Heart Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Nicholas Beyerle is the founder of The Billion Dollar Body, a lifestyle brand for high performing men to achieve health and wealth. But please don’t be fooled. Most everything we discuss is fully applicable to the women in our audience too. I promise you that.

There is so much fascination with Nicholas, his brand and his story (least of which is that he’s only 26 years old and has already accomplished amazing things…)

But one of the most eye opening parts of our discussion is when I asked him to define in his own words what exactly is a billion dollar body.

What I loved is that it’s not so much about six pack abs and chiseled arms, but rather, as with most things on this journey it’s about your mindset, your outlook on things.

In other words, if you today, right now, begin to TREAT your body as if it’s worth a billion dollars (and really, how could you put a price tag on it’s value) you will inadvertently and quite deliberately TREAT it that way in every regard.

Think about it. You will consider more intentionally what you put into your body, how you fuel your body, how you rest your body. Right?

That alone was so impactful for me to begin embracing. It’s nothing more than a shift in how you view and care for your body.

And this my friends is only minute one of our dialogue. Believe me when I say Nicholas is genuine, accomplished, and has a story that will give you the chills. Here we go…

THE03: Taking The Chance to Do More, Give More, and Be More Jul 09, 2018

Show notes

My exceptional guest today is Shelagh Cummins, who came to this show by recommendation from a friend. She said, go reach out to Shelagh, I think she’s perfect for you.

And perfect she is. Shelagh spent 15 years in the classroom teaching and for at least 5 of those years was longing for something else. (Relatable much!?)

While at the top of her pay scale and a deep burning desire to do more, be more and give more, she finally found a way out. Knowing she still had a family counting on her support, she set a goal and made a promise to at least match the income she was earning as a teacher through whatever her next career path would look like.

It certainly has not been an easy success story right out of the gate, but through plenty of self-reflection, self-awareness, and the desire to continue to teach, Shelagh is in every way living her dream today.

She truly has so much good, so much wisdom, and so much insight to share, I am already in love with this episode. I’m sure you will be too. Here we go...
