**The Hidden Entrepreneur Show with Josh Cary**

Josh Cary spent 40 years in hiding. That’s right! He was hiding every part of himself in every situation, showing up in personal, social, and business trying to be the person he believed others expected of him. After feeling utterly exhausted from wearing that mask, and knowing deep down he is cut out for much more in this life, Josh ripped off the mask and is now on a mission to help other business-savvy professionals ‘unmask’ themselves too. Hear honest stories from successful entrepreneurs, creatives, and small business owners who were also once in the darkest of hiding places so you may rediscover your world, connect beautifully with others, and excel in all you set out to do. Hiding Sucks. Are you ready for the new score? Fear: Zero. You: Won.

THE231: Is Bottled Water Unhealthy with Marie Gardiner Feb 22, 2022

Show notes

Many people are unaware of the potential contamination issues caused by drinking water. Some contaminants found in water include lead, arsenic, and radon. Bottled water products are not always healthy or safe. The plastic bottles can leach chemicals into the water, and the bottles themselves can be filled with harmful chemicals. In addition, there is a lack of regulation on bottled water production, so companies can put whatever they want in their products. This leads to potential health risks for consumers.

Join the conversation with Marie Gardiner, a health and hydration coach, as she shares about why you should never drink bottled water. Make your own healthy, alkaline, antioxidant drinking water that's rich in minerals and purged of impurities right in your own home!

THE230: The Go-Giver Marriage Book Review with the Authors John and Ana Mann Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamoring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story’s co-author and his wife, a clinically trained therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a profoundly satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity.

The secret to making a relationship last is not about finding someone who will love you forever. It's about finding someone who makes you feel loved, valued, and loved in return. It is also not about the amount of time you spend with your partner, but rather its quality.

John David Mann is co-author of more than thirty books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (co-authored with Bob Burg) earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award’s “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.”

Ana Gabriel Mann, MA, earned her degree in clinical psychology before serving as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. She currently coaches Go-Giver Marriage clients and leads the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches Training Program, training coaches from around the globe.
