About Tim Lupinacci

As a young lawyer starting out in commercial restructuring and bankruptcy, Tim Lupinacci made a serious error that resulted in a loud, public reprimand from his boss. Fortunately, soon after that, the boss explained that his reaction resulted because he saw something in Tim that led him to believe Tim could become a leader. This encouraged Tim to step up to own his work, career and ambitions. Now Tim is the CEO and chair of Baker Donelson, one of the 100 largest law firms in the country. He has led the firm through significant organizational change, growth and the global pandemic as well as its five-year BakerVision 2028 strategy and the execution of its Diversity & Inclusion Compact. Tim also recently launched Everybody Leads, a non-profit that focuses on empowering individuals in underserved communities with basic leadership skills and confidence to lead themselves, others and the community.

In this podcast we talk with Mark Slabaugh whose company, Slabaugh Coaching, specializes in coaching teams, particularly those in the nonprofit arena. Mark believes that, to accomplish what seems to be an insurmountable goal — such as a nonprofit that needs to raise $10 million — it takes a team, effective communication and a leader who can inspire that team to go forward.

A student of teams, Mark is mindful of how leaders communicate as well as the importance of building trust. Ask your team questions, he advises, and then take the time to listen to what team members have to say.

So if you want to know:

– About the importance for leaders to invest in relationships
– Why, for a leader, it’s not about being interesting as much as it is about being interested — in their team members and what they’re doing
– How leaders need to be people-focused rather than task-focused
– Why visionaries also need to look back and make sure everybody is coming with them
– How effective communications — in which you eliminate the noise and have a crystal clear vision — can help your team stay focused


About Mark Slabaugh

Mark Slabaugh is a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide and executive coach. His company, Slabaugh Coaching, helps entrepreneurs and their leadership teams grow faster than they ever thought possible. Mark came out of the ministry where, as a pastor, he found himself constantly recruiting to build teams of volunteers to take on different initiatives. That background prepared him to help others leverage their skills for their teams, building on the five business pinnacles: people, purpose, playbook, performance and profits.

Imagine if you could choose company leaders who you know would improve the financial performance of your business. In this podcast, Christopher Skinner talks about what he’s discovered about how a company’s stock price correlates with leadership behavior. Based on the widely accepted theory of seven different mindsets, he has found a way to analyze word patterns to uncover how people think and arrive at decisions.

Christopher founded Stealth Dog Labs to answer one fundamental question: Why do great businesses stay great? His work can help you discover your top performers, innovators and next leaders so you can make better choices for board of director members and your leadership team as well as allocate your resources more effectively.

So if you want to know:

• About a new way to look at hiring, developing and promoting employees
• How, when you acknowledge that people matter, it changes how you do things
• How mindset is more important than resume for board of director members
• Why it’s important to look at the entire ecosystem if you want the right leadership for your organization

Imagine if you could choose company leaders who you know would improve the financial performance of your business. In this podcast, Christopher Skinner talks about what he’s discovered about how a company’s stock price correlates with leadership behavior. Based on the widely accepted theory of seven different mindsets, he has found a way to analyze word patterns to uncover how people think and arrive at decisions.

Christopher founded Stealth Dog Labs to answer one fundamental question: Why do great businesses stay great? His work can help you discover your top performers, innovators and next leaders so you can make better choices for board of director members and your leadership team as well as allocate your resources more effectively.

So if you want to know:

• About a new way to look at hiring, developing and promoting employees
• How, when you acknowledge that people matter, it changes how you do things
• How mindset is more important than resume for board of director members
• Why it’s important to look at the entire ecosystem if you want the right leadership for your organization

In this podcast we talk with Linda Fisk, the CEO of LeadHERship Global, a community where women can meet inspirational leaders, create lifelong friendships and be surrounded by people who are truly invested in their success. Linda founded LeadHERship Global to bring together mission-driven leaders who come together to share their ideas, work with one another and support each other in whatever ways they can. She shares with us why this international community of women has been so successful and what it can teach us about collaboration, addressing challenges and the characteristics that are now being embraced by the most effective leaders — regardless of their gender. True meaning, Linda believes, “never comes from what you get. It comes from what you give.”

So if you want to know:

• The key to success — no matter how you define it
• How collaboration all starts with trust, which isn’t an “either or” situation
• How true power lies in co-creation in which you share risk and responsibility
• The importance of asking the hard questions before you move forward in a collaborative relationship
• Why, for successful collaboration, you need to emphasize transformation over the transaction

In this podcast Matt Kirkegaard talks about his fascinating journey … from living in his car while pursuing his music dreams in Nashville … to becoming a top real estate agent … and eventually starting his own company, Movement Property Group, which helps real estate buyers, sellers, investors and developers across middle Tennessee. Along the way, Matt has never abandoned his first love — music — and shares with us how it is possible to keep your dreams alive. “Don’t give up. Fight for it,” Matt advises, and, when you succeed, pay it forward by supporting the community you serve

So if you want to know:

• Why sometimes it’s better not to have a “Plan B”
• About the link between being a good networker and succeeding in real estate
• Why finding success in one thing makes it easier to find success in other things
• The value of fighting for other people’s stories
• How “loving your neighbor” can also be good for your business

About Matt Kirkegaard

Matt Kirkegaard has been a professional musician since the age of nine. After working side gigs in Nashville — and being homeless for a year and a half — Matt took a 90-hour real estate course and quickly became a top-selling agent by putting his networking skills to work. He founded the luxury real estate firm, Movement Property Group, now the fastest growing real estate agency in Nashville. He has been featured in CEO World Magazine and Realty Today. Currently Matt is leveraging himself back into music full time. More information about Matt’s company is available at www.movementpropertygroup.com. At www.mattkirkmusic.com, you can learn more about his music, which is available on Spotify, Apple Music and everywhere you listen to music.

In this podcast author and entrepreneur Chris Masiello shares with us his fascination with how humans — as a species — are adverse to change. Chris explains, “Change is how we got here,” and he believes that change is how we’ll get to where we’re supposed to be. He questions why change is so hard for us when it’s really the only constant we know. As we come out of Covid, so many people are concerned about the changes we’ve experienced and what happens next. Chris advises not to get trapped in our own thought process and to recognize the connection between change and curiosity and how, when change occurs, there’s almost always opportunity.

So if you want to know:

• How the human “fight or flight instinct” prevents you from recognizing that change is a time for curiosity and creativity
• Strategies you can deploy to navigate a time of change
• One approach a real estate company took when Covid hit
• The importance of being aware of what you’re thinking and ensuring your thoughts align with your desired outcome
• How the ability to drive at night shows that you can train your subconscious mind to deal with change

About Chris Masiello

Chris Masiello has built a successful, nearly 40-year career in real estate and financial services. His nationally recognized businesses account for more than $2 billion in annual sales. He is also a personal empowerment speaker and has received numerous industry recognitions including being named one of the most influential trend-setting leaders in the real estate and home services industry. He is the author of Change Short and Simple: Your Guide to Personal Transformation. More information about Chris, his book and his “Mindful Monday Series” is available at www.chrismasiello.com.

Mark Oristano has led a life sports fans dream about, spending 30 years in the NFL broadcasting football games and, much of that time, working in the Dallas Cowboys front office. Mark worked under legendary Cowboys president and general manager Tex Schramm who created a front office system that was the envy of the pro sports world. In this podcast, he talks with us about why the original Cowboys franchise was so successful on and off the field and why Schramm’s management style is still a model for today.



So if you want to know:

• Tex Schramm’s three rules for staffing — simple rules that still work today
• Why, if you don’t have loyalty — on both sides — you won’t build passion
• How we can begin to build workplaces that people actually want to be in again
• Why the pizza delivery person is more important to the customer than the pizza company’s CEO
• The top three things employees want (HINT: More money is only #3)
• Why companies shouldn’t be focused on increasing shareholder value — and where their focus should be

About Mark Oristano

Mark Oristano’s company, Lead with Principle, was founded on the first rule of Dallas Cowboys president and general manager, Tex Schramm: Nobody does their best work in a climate of fear. Mark’s 30 years career with the NFL — broadcasting games for the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers and in the Dallas Cowboys’ front office — taught him the keys to increasing employees engagement and reducing turnover to create a true team feeling in the workplace.

In this podcast we talk with the cofounders of GIOSTAR — the Global Institute of Stem Cell Therapy and Research — the world’s leading stem cell research company. Deven Patel, who manages the business side of GIOSTAR, believes it is possible — through collaboration with governments — to make stem cell based therapies affordable to the victims of degenerative diseases who are unable to afford today’s high cost treatments. Dr. Anand Srivastava, a pioneer who started the modern field of stem cell science 22 years ago, shares with us how the work he’s doing with GIOSTAR can treat degenerative and genetic diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism, diabetes and cancer as well as spinal cord injuries and burns.

So if you want to know:

– The current status of stem cell research and how it has progressed in the last two decades

– How fetal surgery may offer hope to fight genetic diseases

– How collaboration with governments could represent the best chance to successfully treat certain diseases

– The role stem cell therapy has played in treating COVID

– The unique advantage stem cells have over manufactured chemicals

About Deven Patel and Dr. Anand Srivastava

Deven Patel and Dr. Anand Srivastava have worked together for more than 20 years. When they cofounded GIOSTAR, their goal was to take mankind’s most elite, expensive and advanced scientific knowledge and make it available, accessible and affordable to the masses. They’ve worked toward this goal by building their own stem cell research institute in addition to stem cell treatment hospitals to deliver an integrated “research bench to bedside” approach that treats many diseases previously regarded as incurable. More information is available at their company’s website, www.giostar.com

In this podcast we talk with the cofounders of GIOSTAR — the Global Institute of Stem Cell Therapy and Research — the world’s leading stem cell research company. Deven Patel, who manages the business side of GIOSTAR, believes it is possible — through collaboration with governments — to make stem cell based therapies affordable to the victims of degenerative diseases who are unable to afford today’s high cost treatments. Dr. Anand Srivastava, a pioneer who started the modern field of stem cell science 22 years ago, shares with us how the work he’s doing with GIOSTAR can treat degenerative and genetic diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism, diabetes and cancer as well as spinal cord injuries and burns.

So if you want to know:

– The current status of stem cell research and how it has progressed in the last two decades

– How fetal surgery may offer hope to fight genetic diseases

– How collaboration with governments could represent the best chance to successfully treat certain diseases

– The role stem cell therapy has played in treating COVID

– The unique advantage stem cells have over manufactured chemicals

About Deven Patel and Dr. Anand Srivastava

Deven Patel and Dr. Anand Srivastava have worked together for more than 20 years. When they cofounded GIOSTAR, their goal was to take mankind’s most elite, expensive and advanced scientific knowledge and make it available, accessible and affordable to the masses. They’ve worked toward this goal by building their own stem cell research institute in addition to stem cell treatment hospitals to deliver an integrated “research bench to bedside” approach that treats many diseases previously regarded as incurable. More information is available at their company’s website, www.giostar.com

Lois also tells us that collaboration is “part of her DNA.” She attributes some of this to the fact that she grew up in Japan, which is much more of a collaborative society. Collaboration can be the solution for many of the challenges facing businesses today. But, as Lois explains, “We need a process.”

So if you want to know:

• About the importance of being very clear about what you’re trying to accomplish
• How you may need to move into a zone where you’re not totally comfortable
• Why collaborators need to be very disciplined and hold each other accountable
• An objective way to measure if everyone is pulling their weight — and how often to measure your progress
• Why you need to recognize that, as organizations grow, you may need a new process or procedure

Lois believes, however, that collaboration can only be effective if it’s done in a very thoughtful and intentional way. You have to have the right relationship before collaboration can begin. And, if you don’t know the other partner well enough, you need to get to know them so that you can come together around a common goal. Lois also encourages us to ask ourselves, “What would you dare to dream if you could partner with anybody to accomplish your dream?”

So if you want to know:

• About the importance of finding the right partner — someone who’s in it for the long haul
• Why, when you collaborate, you begin to see more opportunities

In her continuing discussion with host Steve Harper on the Podcast Business News Network, Lois Sonstegard talks about how today companies need a breath of fresh air — to change some of the discouragement and overwhelming stress into a new approach where employees are enthused and companies continue to grow.

Research shows that today only 24% of employees trust their leaders and that 82% of Gen Zers are “quiet quitters.” But, as Lois explains, we don’t have to be in this position. We can move in a very different direction. We can get back to employees being engaged so that we have innovation, creativity and productivity — the foundation of a successful business.

So if you want to know:

– How to avoid building a “bland culture” where employees are afraid to ask questions

– Why mistakes aren’t bad because they can help you build

– The danger of silos within an organization and only consulting with “the experts”

– What we can learn from the TV show, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”

– About the importance of employees knowing that, when they show up for work, it makes a difference

In this podcast Maria Santiago, Founder and Director of the Home Health Aide Training Institute, talks about compassion. Although Maria’s focus — through her organization’s role in training home health aides — is on the need for compassion when caring for the elderly and disabled, her message is important for all of us. It will be particular value for organizations that need to hire health care aides and for anyone who has ever tried to find help for an elderly or disabled family member. Maria talks about the type of training that’s needed for today’s home health aides, how it is possible to train for compassion, and the current struggle of home health care workers for equitable compensation.

So if you want to know:

– About the importance of building trust — in home health care and in business in general

– How compassionate caring can help seniors maintain their dignity

– The challenges today’s home health aides face

– About career opportunities for compassionate home health aides

– The effect the pandemic has had on the home health care industry


About Maria Santiago

Maria Santiago learned about compassion for the elderly firsthand growing up in Trinidad and Tobago where she enjoyed talking with her older neighbors. This experience taught her the importance of companionship for seniors, and she founded the Home Health Aide Training Institute to “put the care back into healthcare.” In addition to practical skills, her students — who come from all around the world — learn compassion, empathy and mindful service and often use their training and experience as a stepping stone to careers in nursing and other health care professions. She has been featured in New York Weekly and Healthcare Business Today and recently received The Presidential Tribute of Excellence Award from President Joe Biden for caring for the community and the world. More information is available at her website, www.hhati.com

This experience taught her the importance of companionship for seniors, and she founded the Home Health Aide Training Institute to “put the care back into healthcare.” In addition to practical skills, her students — who come from all around the world — learn compassion, empathy and mindful service and often use their training and experience as a stepping stone to careers in nursing and other health care professions. She has been featured in New York Weekly and Healthcare Business Today and recently received The Presidential Tribute of Excellence Award from President Joe Biden for caring for the community and the world. More information is available at her website, www.hhati.com

In this podcast we talk with Flavia Leal, the founder of the largest Brazilian beauty school in the U.S. Flavia shares her immigrant story with us — how she came to the U.S. at age 19 and was successful at a number of business ventures until her parents’ deaths and financial setbacks sent her into a serious depression. When she discovered that doing makeup for friends — for free — was good therapy, she found her life’s work: teaching other women how to change lives through beauty.

So if you want to know:

– About a success story that has helped thousands of women find a new path

– Why the teachers at this beauty school ask their students, “What’s your story?”

– How beauty can help people build their self-confidence

– A healthy alternative to covering up skin with layers of make-up

About Flavia Leal

Flavia Leal is the founder of the Flavia Leal Beauty School and a champion for all women. Immigrating to the U.S. from Brazil with nothing more than a dream, Flavia built a beauty empire and, along the way, “brought up” thousands of women by helping them find entrepreneurship with beauty and beyond. She is working on a book about 19 women she has met through her school and the wonderful stories of their lives. Flavia believes that her school doesn’t just teach women a new profession, but shows them there is a way out of things they’re unhappy with.

What’s been your experience with financial planners? Does the discussion start with a product the financial planner thinks is best for you? If so, you’ll appreciate this podcast in which Marc Bernstein explains why financial planning should have nothing to do with product but everything to do with your goals or the stage of your life or business. He shares with us his unique approach to financial planning, which is detailed in his book, The Fiscal Therapy Solution 1.0. We also discuss the importance of planning your legacy and how talking about your legacy can keep you focused on the future and put positive energy back into your business and your life.

So if you want to know:

– What they don’t teach you in MBA school
– Why having a three-year vision is so important
– The biggest hindrances to an honest discussion about money
– How personal and business finances come together for entrepreneurs
– The importance for business owners to know their “end game”


About Marc Bernstein

Marc Bernstein grew up in a family business, gaining first-hand experience about planning for closely held businesses. An attorney, Marc left the practice of law to do something that would really help people create the future they desired for themselves, their families and their businesses. He founded MWealth Advisors, which specializes in solving complexity in his clients’ personal and business lives. His book, The Fiscal Therapy Solution 1.0, takes a fresh look at the financial planning process by moving from the product-based methodology the financial services industry has used for decades to a process that helps people turn their financial dreams into goals and ultimately into reality. More information about Marc and his in-person think tank for manufacturers in Southeastern Pennsylvania is available at www.marcjbernstein.com

In this podcast we visit again with Craig Neal — the Collaborator — to talk further about how he collaborates with leaders as well as their people. Craig believes in going beyond the C-suite to interact and engage with every single player. He talks about roles instead of titles in an effort to help executives and their people to really understand each other, become better and meet their goals. He stresses that employers need to focus on culture and stop worrying about the perceived competition. “Compete against yourself,” Craig advises.



So if you want to know:

– Why people are leaving behind not just their bosses, but everything, and moving forward

– Why you can’t apply methodology from other places without fully engaging and understanding each corporate culture

– The mistake executives make when they don’t incorporate their strategic goals into their organization’s culture

– About your real competition: how you were yesterday, last week or last month

– The three focus areas now that will enable organizations to thrive


About Craig Neal

Craig Neal is an accomplished strategist, executive advisor and positioning specialist. He calls himself “the collaborator” because he partners directly with leaders of Fortune 500® and privately held firms to manage organizational change. Together, they formulate tailored, innovative strategies that dramatically enhance collective performance, culture and positioning. With a multidiscipline approach, Craig’s expertise and pragmatic approach have garnered national recognition for developing executives and transferring skills that deliver extraordinary results.

In this podcast we talk with Vince Shorb, a thought leader in teaching and scaling financial education programming. Vince shares with us how he developed a passion and interest in money from a young age and was always frustrated that high schools didn’t teach students financial literacy — something that benefits all students. If you’ve ever wondered how to begin educating your own children about money management — or you need help yourself to reach financial wellness — you’ll find our discussion especially valuable.



So if you want to know:

– What financial literacy really means

– When children begin to develop habits about their finances and what influences them most

– How parents can take advantage of financial “teachable moments”

– The biggest challenges most people face with regard to personal finance

– The role behavior and sentiment play in money management


About Vince Shorb

Vince Shorb is one of the country’s leading advocates for promoting financial wellness. After spending 15 years in financial services, he founded the National Financial Educators Council (NFEC), an organization dedicated to combating the financial illiteracy epidemic. As CEO, Vince has led the NFEC in the development of 2,500 financial education programs and more than 80 financial literacy assets and standards that guide the industry. His focus is on mobilizing and developing community champions and empowering them with the resources, knowledge and processes to help their communities’ citizens work toward financial self-sufficiency and security.

Today we’re taking a quite different approach with our podcast. It’s the first in a series of podcasts in which we talk about collaboration, its benefits and its pitfalls. Lois Sonstegard believes that collaboration could be the breakthrough to take your business to the next level. In fact, collaboration has become a business asset that’s as important as capital.

To explore this multi-faceted topic, Lois is interviewed by author and trainer Aurora Winter. The interview is doubly fascinating because it is also a dramatic demonstration of collaboration. This and succeeding interviews on this topic form the basis of a book Aurora is helping Lois with, Start with Collaboration, which explores how collaboration can help us build a legacy for future generations.

So if you want to know:

– What’s most surprising about collaboration

– Why collaboration can help you attract and retain the best talent

– How collaboration enhances creativity and innovation

– Why business is an “infinite” game and how that should affect how we play the game

– The reasons many businesses don’t collaborate

In this podcast we talk with vision coach and hypnotherapist Linda-Ann Stewart about how businesses can break through a mindset that causes you to get “stuck and immobilized.” Linda-Ann works primarily with women-owned businesses, but her message is valuable for anyone who can’t seem to grow their business or achieve their long-term goals. She believes the real problem is lack of focus and that “if you can train yourself to be distracted, you can train yourself to be focused.”



So if you want to know:

– How we’re hypnotizing ourselves all the time especially when we’re stressed

– The problem with multi-tasking

– Why your goals need to be a step to your future vision

– The difference between reacting to a situation and responding to it

– The importance of being aware, intentional and mindful

About Linda-Ann Stewart

As a vision strategist, hypnotherapist, speaker and writer, Linda-Ann Stewart empowers women and small business owners who are immobilized or overwhelmed to focus, prioritize and break through inner barriers to take charge and reach their vision of success. More than 250 of her articles on mindset, motivation and empowerment have been published in magazines, newsletters and online. More information is available at her website, linda-annstewart.com. She also offers a free video and 90-day action planning guide to help you stay focused and get started on achieving your goals at www.setyourcourseguide.com.

In this podcast we talk with HR consultant Sam Tanios about the challenges small and mid-sized businesses face with respect to employee engagement and other HR issues. Through his company, Human Elements Consulting, Sam helps smaller businesses take a proactive approach to HR so that employees buy into the company’s values, vision and mission. Sam explains that, when you invest in your employees, the ROI is tremendous because the #1 driver of success is your customers’ experience. And the #1 driver of customer experience is employee engagement.

So if you want to know:

– What you need to “sell” to your employees — and why

– Why even small companies can and should have a CPO — “chief people officer”

– The importance of taking steps that employees can see — don’t “tell me” but rather “show me”

– How a “digital transformation” needs to accompany your “human transformation”

– Five things to look for when hiring an HR consultant

In this podcast we talk with author and executive coach Scott Shute about bringing mindfulness and compassion to the workplace. Mindfulness, Scott explains, is another way of saying we need to develop ourselves and our self-awareness. Similarly, employers need compassion because we don’t work or live in isolation. Scott quotes research showing companies that recognize their employees are their most valuable resource — and change the workplace from the inside out — can be 14 times more profitable than those that don’t.



So if you want to know:

– How it’s possible to mainstream mindfulness and operationalize compassion

– Why, when we take care of everybody — employees, customers and shareholders — all of us benefit

– That compassion isn’t soft but actually takes courage

– Why you can’t wait for your organization to bring mindfulness and compassion to you — you need to bring it to your organization

– How to replace the “dirty escalation” with the “clean resolution”


About Scott Shute

After 25 years of customer-oriented leadership and three years of leading mindfulness and compassion programs at LinkedIn, Scott Shute now helps other leaders and companies transform so they become more compassionate and effective. A keynote speaker, author, executive coach and teacher, Scott combines the practicalities of leading in the modern business world with the wisdom of ancient traditions to help individuals and companies be leaders in “conscious business.” He is the author of The Full Body YES, a 2022 Nautilus Award winning book that explores how to change your work and your world from the inside out. More information about Scott and his workshops, coaching and consulting services is available at his website, scottshute.com

In this podcast we talk with Kelli Moore, CEO and co-founder of Soulfire Productions and co-host of the top-rated relationship podcast, OK, Babe. Kelli shares with us her journey from a successful career in sports broadcasting, through a 15-year chronic illness and ultimately to renewed health and a new life as a podcaster and head of a production company that is female-driven and female-focused. Always a “people-pleaser” who did what was expected of her, Kelli believes we need to redefine success — in business and in life — by being radically honest with ourselves, asking ourselves better questions and not shying away from truthful answers.



So if you want to know:

– Why you need to ask yourself where you are in relation to your core values, the “operating system” you live by

– The role your core values play when you hire and fire people

– The importance of setting your ego aside so you can delegate and empower your employees

– Why it’s often easier — but not smarter — to follow the script you’ve been handed for your life

– How living your core values means turning “nouns into verbs”

About Kelli Moore

After working for years in the male-dominated sports television industry and suffering from an undiagnosed chronic illness, Kelli Moore reached her breaking point. She started a podcast and realized that she really wanted to be of service to women, talking with them and helping them feel more empowered. The result was Soulfire Productions, a one-stop media and podcast production shop that has helped many women launch and grow their podcasts.

Supply chain management is one of the top issues companies face today. In this — the first of a series of podcasts with supply chain coach Tom French — Tom shares with us the first two steps in his six-part plan for supply chain optimization: gathering data and analyzing that data. According to Tom, once startup companies identify their customers and determine why those customers will buy their products, they concentrate on marketing and sales. “Oftentimes the back end, the warehousing, is an afterthought,” Tom explains, when it should be an integral part of the overall planning process. As more companies face supply-chain-related problems — from back orders on their best-selling products to higher costs for storing items that aren’t selling — Tom delivers a very timely message for business owners.

So if you want to know:

– How looking at the entire process — from raw materials through warehousing — can deliver significant savings … and the main reasons more companies don’t include everything in their planning

– How 80% of your profit is likely to come from 20-30% of the items you sell

– How having multiple vendors for specific raw materials can ensure you’ll always be able to serve your best customers

– The importance of working cooperatively with your retailers so you both make a profit

– Why offshoring manufacturing can be a big mistake


About Tom French

Tom French founded Supply Chain Coach Inc. as a result of his passion to teach and pass on the knowledge he gained through his extensive experience in supply chain optimization. His goal is to help clients learn and perform the steps in his six-step process so they can continue to improve their savings beyond the coaching project. By helping companies create an internal supply chain organization, Supply Chain Coach can eliminate the need to outsource logistic services, optimize transportation technology solutions, create significant cost savings and improve operational efficiency. You can learn more at his company’s website, www.supplychaincoach.com

When, as a new business owner, Danielle Mulvey realized her lack of a hiring strategy quickly caught up with her, she decided to get smart about hiring. The result was a process that has been successful for all of her businesses and that she uses now to help other business owners hire and keep what she calls “5-star employees.” Danielle believes that too many businesses — particularly those with 10 or more employees and at least a million dollars in revenue — struggle to make a profit because of an inflated payroll that includes “average or ho-hum employees.” By making better hiring decisions and attracting 5-star employees, these businesses can realize and increase their profits.



So if you want to know:

The top mistakes people make in hiring
How a “shadow day” — as part of the interview process — can be a win-win for the employer and the job candidate
Why you have to go “all in” on recruitment, hiring and retention if you expect employees to go all in for you
The five criteria in the “5-star employee” rating system
The importance of measuring the “return on payroll”
About Danielle Mulvey

Danielle Mulvey is the Chief Curator of The ALL IN Company Community, which advises other entrepreneurs on attracting and hiring 5-star employees. Her own team of trusted 5-star employees has enabled her to scale several companies to more than $50 million in annual revenue while spending less than 10 hours a week overseeing their operations. She is the author of The Rapid RealTM Guide to The 5-Star Employee Rating System, and is currently working with Wall Street Journal best-selling author Mike Michalowicz on a new book tentatively titled ALL IN: How to Get Your Employees to Act Like Owners. She also hosts the Profit First Nation podcast. More information about Danielle and her company is available at 5staremployees.com.

In this podcast we talk with bestselling author and wealth management advisor Kim Curtis who is the president and CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute. Kim shares with us how she rewrote her own financial story in a different way and then set out to become that story. We also learn the biggest mistakes people make in money management. “How you do money is how you do life,” Kim explains, as she tells us why you can have all the money in the world and still have a failed retirement because “no amount of money can create an extraordinary life.”

So if you want to know:

– The three financial pillars of success

– How mindset is the primary obstacle to long-term success

– Why you need a financial plan before you start to invest

– How to determine if your financial planner is a fiduciary and why this is so important

– Why managing yourself and your money is easier when you’re “in the flow”

About Kim Curtis

Kim is offering two free gifts to Building My Legacy listeners.

In this podcast we talk with author and motivational speaker Mason Harris whose book, The Chutzpah Advantage, explores the eight key behaviors and characteristics that create the skillset of chutzpah. “The Chutzpah Guy” — as he’s known — walks us through many of those key behaviors, explaining that somebody with chutzpah both conceives of an idea and then actually implements it. He contrasts that with people who pass up good opportunities because they don’t want to “rock the boat.” Our discussion will be fascinating for would-be entrepreneurs, people looking to grow their business or anyone ready to move their career forward.



So if you want to know:

– The positive and negative sides of chutzpah

– How a sense of purpose is so critical to survival and real success

– Why we need to recognize that, although we can’t control what happens to us, we can control our response

– The importance of handling objections when you need to get a project done

– How humility is an important part of chutzpah

About Mason Harris

Mason Harris is a motivational speaker, listener and the author of The Chutzpah Advantage, which answers questions like, what is chutzpah? Are you born with it, or is it learned? Mason believes that chutzpah encompasses self-confidence, audacity, purpose and even humility. He enjoys helping individuals and organizations discover how a “chutzpah” approach leads to business and life success. Mason is on LinkedIn and can also be reached at mason@thechutzpahguy.com

Our guest for this podcast is Michelle Warner who designs tiny companies that are built for the long run. She talks with us about “Networking That Pays,” her networking system that is introvert-friendly and designed to bring in reliable leads, consistent referrals and meaningful connections for your business. Michelle believes that your network is the foundation of everything you do in your business or your career. An introvert herself, Michelle developed a step-by-step process that makes networking more effective by creating your intentions and goals, building your network and then using it to accomplish your goals.

So if you want to know:

– Why you need to set a specific goal before you start to network

– The importance of understanding who your ideal client is and then connecting with the people who know your ideal clients

– How to begin building your network — with both “strong” and “weak ties”

– The secrets of effective messaging — how, when and to whom

About Michelle Warner

When, with her new MBA, Michelle Warner founded a tech company that had to sell to local governments and non-profits throughout the U.S., she realized her experience in digital marketing wasn’t enough to build relationships with these prospective clients. So she created a system that eventually she would eventually use with other businesses to help them figure out why they have stopped growing. That system — Networking That Pays — has proven that networks don’t have to be intimidating or transactional. Michelle’s system makes networking doable for introverts and helps focus extroverts to deliver amazing results. She offers a free training session at themichellewarner.com/freetraining. You can also read more about the course at www.networkingthatpays.com

In this podcast we talk with Eric Holsapple who has merged mindfulness and business and found that, in all cases, business has improved. Eric shares with us his own journey of success: how he started in real estate and how he came to found Living in the Gap. This non-profit offers workshops to teach CEOs and professionals how to operate mindfully while improving their bottom line. “I don’t see anything in mindfulness which is contradictory to business,” Eric tells us, because mindfulness leads to focus, which is what we’re missing in business today.

So if you want to know:

– Why you need to get some separation from the 6,000 thoughts you have each day

– The problem with looking to someone else to tell you what you should be thinking

– How a one-hour walk every day can slow down your mind and help you really be present

– The biggest challenge in bringing mindfulness to a business

– The importance of finding your purpose — and where to look for it

– How to get started becoming more mindful


About Eric Holsapple

Eric Holsapple is a successful developer and entrepreneur who has used mindfulness to transform his life and business and now helps others do the same. With a PhD in economics, Eric has been a real estate CEO and developer for nearly 40 years, lectured in real estate at Colorado State University for 20 years, and practiced yoga and meditation for 30 years. His new book, Profit With Presence, will be distributed early in 2023 and can be pre-ordered on Amazon later this year. For more information, visit his website, livinginthegap.org where you’ll find free resources on meditation and getting started in mindfulness.

In this podcast we talk with the founders of SharedChain, an efficient and fast e-commerce and fulfillment platform that can help brick and mortar retails stores easily develop their own profitable e-commerce business. Luke Ho-Hyung Lee and Nikhil Sathe, who have extensive experience in supply chain management believe all businesses should be able to participate in the rapidly growing e-commerce market without paying the exorbitant fees existing e-commerce and fulfillment platforms charge. They explain the advantages of SharedChain and how they’re using crowdfunding to raise pre-seed funds. Anyone who is looking for a more affordable away to enter the e-commerce market or who would like to know more about what could be a supply chain revolution will find this discussion fascinating.



So if you want to know:

– Why these entrepreneurs chose crowdfunding as a way to raise capital

– Why a mega, holistic platform for marketing and fulfillment could be the disruptor in the e-commerce ecosystem

– About the role “Uberization” — a functional, on-demand process system — could play in the warehousing process

– Why now is the time to create a more lean distribution model that’s a win-win for all stakeholders


About the Co-Founders of SharedChain

Luke Ho-Hyung Lee, a serial international entrepreneur, is the Visionary and CEO of SharedChain. Recognized as the original developer of the 3D Supply Chain Process system, he founded and operated two manufacturing companies in Asia and is a contributor to CSCMP’s Supply Chain Quarterly and The Huffington Post.

Today’s labor shortage is causing more employers to consider hiring international workers. If you’ve ever wondered what’s involved for you, as an employer — or if you’re an American worker considering taking a job in Canada — this podcast will be of particular interest to you. We talk with Hart Kaminker who specializes in Canadian immigration law. Hart helps skilled professional workers come to Canada, helps Canadian companies hire foreign workers and works with individuals who want to get permanent residence in Canada. Although Hart’s expertise is Canadian immigration law, he raises general issues that are most likely to affect American employers, too, if they want to hire international workers. He also answers many questions Americans and others may have about moving to Canada for a job or to live there permanently.

So if you want to know:

– Major things companies need to think through before hiring international workers

– Issues that can keep somebody out of Canada

– What happens if you hire an international worker who just doesn’t work out

– Hart’s number one piece of advice for companies thinking about hiring international workers and for workers thinking about taking a job in Canada

About Hart Kaminker

Hart Kaminker founded Kaminker & Associates in 2004, building it into a full-service boutique immigration law firm that helps individuals and businesses with relocation to Canada. He helps biotech, tech and health care companies and institutions that need to bring skilled workers from outside the country to work at their companies. Hart has nearly three decades of experience in immigration and citizenship law, earning him a reputation of a compassionate and highly skilled immigration lawyer. He often speaks at events for the Canadian Bar Association and other community organizations in the Greater Toronto area.

We’re visiting again with change expert Rick Maurer, a speaker and consultant, who works with companies in terms of change, change management and team building engagement — all things that have become so important right now. In this podcast Rick talks further about the logical steps to take when you need to implement a change in your business. He also relates how simple things — like paying attention to your customer or listening to your workforce — can help you keep customers or eliminate the need for downsizing. In today’s rapidly changing world Rick’s message will resonate with and provide valuable, practical information for leaders of businesses of all sizes.



So if you want to know:

– The important first step we often miss when communicating about changes

– Why your go-to position to improve your bottom line shouldn’t be reducing your workforce

– A model that explains why people resist change and how to get their support

– Why leaders should be curious about what their people are thinking and feeling

– How to add vitality to that meeting everyone hates


About Rick Maurer

Change expert Rick Maurer works with leaders and their teams to overcome resistance to change. Since the publication of his book Beyond the Wall of Resistance in the 1990s, Rick’s opinion has been sought by The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, Fortune and many other media outlets. He has consulted on change management for some of the largest companies in the world, including Lockheed Martin, Deloitte, Verizon, Charles Schwab, NASA and Kaiser Permanente as well as government agencies around the world. He is the author of Seizing Moments of Possibility, which answers the question of many leaders — “Who has time to gain employee support for change?” — by showing how to blend support for change into routine tasks. It and his latest e-book, The Magic List, are available free on his website, RickMaurer.com.

In this podcast we talk with Lizzie Horvitz, the founder and CEO of Finch, which helps consumers understand how to find products that are best in function and best for a healthy, just planet. Lizzie’s goal is to minimize our footprint at large in the world. She is doing that by working with companies to make sure their products aren’t harming our planet and the people on it. Finch scrapes product information that’s available across the public domain and turns that information into a score that consumers can use to more easily evaluate the product’s sustainability. Whether you’re a manufacturer looking to increase the sustainability value of your product or a consumer who wants an easier way to compare products, you’ll find Lizzie’s message interesting, valuable and extremely informative.



So if you want to know:

– The criteria Finch uses — and that you should use, too — to measure the sustainability of products

– How costs are affected when products become more sustainable

– The first steps to enter the sustainability movement

– How to get your workforce involved in sustainability efforts

– The good and bad effects COVID has had on sustainability


About Lizzie Horvitz

Lizzie Horvitz’s passion for addressing climate change with real-world solutions began at the age of 16 when she spent three months living “off the grid” in the Bahamas. There she attended a school that was completely reliant on wind energy and rainwater — long before climate change became such an important topic of discussion. In her words, “I saw the solution before I fully understood the problem.” She founded Finch to help decode sustainability and make “doing better” a more accessible choice for consumers. Finch rates the sustainability of products by using an easy-to-understand system that looks at six critical areas of focus. Before launching Finch, Lizzie served as Chief Operating Officer at Muuse, fighting to stop single-use waste. She has also worked in supply chain and sustainability at Unilever, where she was responsible for integrating the company’s Sustainable Living Plan in North America.

In this podcast we talk with Dr. Nadia Brown whose company, The Doyenne Agency, provides sales training, onsite continuing education and professional development, particularly for women. Nadia’s goal is to help business owners who are good at their craft but don’t necessarily feel comfortable in a selling role. Working primarily in male-dominated fields, Nadia figured out how to sell in a way that was different from her male colleagues but just as effective. Today she works with women to help them develop a selling approach that aligns with them, their values and their personality. Nadia believes that, with the right support, women can close more sales, have more free time and ultimately build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How there’s no right or wrong sales process, but it has to be your own

– Why, when women don’t dream big, we create our own glass ceiling

– Why everything doesn’t have to be perfect before you put your ideas out to the world

– How the sales process starts long before the actual sales conversation

–What your sales process checklist may be missing


About Dr. Nadia Brown

At one point, Dr. Nadia Brown thought of herself as the least likely person to lead a sales agency. Her background includes engineering, IT and financial services, and she admits she was not always comfortable selling. But, when a male boss commented that she sold “differently” than him — “but you’re just as effective” — she began to recognize that, to succeed, she had to make her sales approach her own. Today her company, The Doyenne Agency, helps women find their voice so they can excel at sales, marketing and other important aspects of running a business. Nadia, who has a doctorate in organizational leadership, is the author of two books, Leading Like a Lady: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling and Selling Like a Lady: Courage Diary. Visit her website, discoveryoursalesblindspot.com, where you can take a Sales Persona Quiz to learn about the possible blind spots in your sales approach.

But, when a male boss commented that she sold “differently” than him — “but you’re just as effective” — she began to recognize that, to succeed, she had to make her sales approach her own. Today her company, The Doyenne Agency, helps women find their voice so they can excel at sales, marketing and other important aspects of running a business. Nadia, who has a doctorate in organizational leadership, is the author of two books, Leading Like a Lady: How to Shatter Your Inner Glass Ceiling and Selling Like a Lady: Courage Diary. Visit her website, discoveryoursalesblindspot.com, where you can take a Sales Persona Quiz to learn about the possible blind spots in your sales approach.

When new CEO Michael Amkreutz developed a five-year plan to build synergies among Adorama’s five distinct brands, he had no idea that the COVID-19 pandemic would force his team to accelerate the plan to deliver much of the new strategy in his first year with the company. In this podcast Michael shares with us how he took advantage of opportunities, managed the Adorama businesses that were almost completely shut down and adopted a unique human resources strategy that helped the company retain the right people in spite of the country-wide “great resignation.”



So if you want to know:

– How defining the customer experience can help meet customers’ needs in a more holistic fashion and ultimately increase revenue

– One company’s multi-pronged strategy to motivate and retain employees

– The importance of transparency with employees and customers

– How synergies within a multi-brand holding company can not only reduce costs but also improve the customer experience

– Why you need to listen to your customers and your employees


About Michael Amkreutz

Michael Amkreutz is the CEO of Adorama, a holding company that does business under five distinct brands — offering electronics, sporting goods, photography equipment rentals and digital printing. Early in his career with a start-up e-commerce company, Michael became fascinated with the customer experience: knowing your customer, understanding what they’re looking for and removing the pain points in their journey to get what they want. With nearly 30 years’ experience in helping legacy businesses transform to adapt to the world of e-commerce, Michael understands the importance of delighting customers in today’s digital world.

Business coach and personal strategist Jonathan Goldhill has first-hand experience with family businesses. His family men’s apparel manufacturing company — started by his great-grandfather — was sold in its third generation of family ownership, most probably because Jonathan’s grandfather saw there really wasn’t a next-generation leader who could take the business to the next level. Today Jonathan provides business coaching, especially for family businesses that want to scale up as a new generation takes over the leadership. In this podcast Jonathan talks about the various factors that will help family-owned businesses and entrepreneurial companies grow into the next generation.

So if you want to know:

– What to look for in a next-generation leader in a family-owned business

– The importance of understanding personalities within a business and how people need to relate to one another

– What it means to have a “vivid vision” as well as the importance of being able to execute on that vision

– The importance of having a playbook to run your business
– How businesses can become saleable


About Jonathan Goldhill

When, at age 20, Jonathan Hill realized there wasn’t an opportunity to get into the family men’s apparel manufacturing business, he left New York for California. Within 10 years he had established himself as the go-to expert for entrepreneurs looking to find their freedom. Today Jonathan brings 30 years of experience advising, coaching, consulting, training and guiding entrepreneurial and family businesses to grow their revenues, profits and people’s leadership. More information about Jonathan is available at www.TheGoldhillGroup.com

In this podcast we speak with Jan Barlow, the founder of the non-profit Better Job Fit, which helps companies and individuals collaborate to identify and leverage their team strengths to increase individual performance, workplace satisfaction and profitability. Jan talks about how the pandemic, as a life-threatening experience, has changed the way employees think about their jobs and their needs. As a result, employers of all sizes need to be more innovative, look at the big picture and change their approach to strategic planning. We all need to ask, “What does my next look like?”



So if you want to know:

– Why both employers and employees need to get past “shame and blame”

– The importance of “connectional intelligence” and how collaborations can create a “win-win” situation

– How the emotional intelligence of the 90s needs to be replaced with today’s “consciously advanced” intelligence

– Why employers need to think differently about hiring and employees need to change how they decide on their next job

– Why the C-suite needs to see the real value proposition of HR


About Jan Barlow

Jan Barlow knows firsthand what can happen as a result of an unexpected career transition. When an unsuccessful merger forced her into a new position that didn’t fit her or her skill set, she saw her newly organized department collapse after nine months. This led her to create Better Job Fit, a non-profit that helps companies, executives and individuals enhance productivity and performance though customized sales training and performance plans. She can be reached at jbarlow@betterjobfit.org



About Lois Sonstegard, PhD

In this podcast we talk with Dustin Muscato, CEO of Green Street Advisory, who has extensive experience in private equity, deal sourcing and execution and all aspects of portfolio management. Dustin believes that the two most significant challenges businesses face today — filling the labor demand and the need for tailored capital to fund growth — also represent tremendous opportunities. He talks with us about the trends in business today, their impact on small and medium-size businesses and the importance of embracing the new norms in a constructive way. We also hear Dustin’s thoughts on “buy vs. build” and how collaboration may help companies resolve this question.



So if you want to know:

– How, by offering employees a real opportunity rather than just higher compensation, you can win the labor price wars

– Why you need to define your true core values if you want to drive your business forward

– About the need for key leadership to talk about the evolution of the business in terms of hiring and serving more audiences

– The importance of small businesses educating themselves on the options for raising capital

– How the solutions to your problems are most likely to come from your own people


About Dustin Muscato

The CEO of Green Street Advisory, Dustin Muscato is also a Director of three energy companies — Greenwave Energy, Energy Professionals and Erus Energy. He has extensive experience in private equity, deal sourcing and execution and portfolio management, including strategy, structuring, negotiating, investment and due diligence.

If the term “radical collaboration” sounds like an oxymoron, you’ll want to learn how Jim Tamm — author, keynote speaker and team builder — coined this phrase and why he now considers effective collaboration a basic survival skill. In this podcast Jim talks about how his background as a California senior administrative law judge gave him the experience to help employees in adversarial workplaces become more collaborative. Today he helps organizations become better at collaboration internally as well as with other companies.



So if you want to know:

– How we become defensive not because of a threat but as a result of our own fears

– The five essential skills to overcome defensiveness so that you can create a more collaborative environment

– How to collaborate in a very tense setting

– Why and how you can collaborate with people you don’t trust

– How it can be easier to deal with a hostile environment (“red zone”) than a conflict-avoidant environment (“pink zone”)


About Jim Tamm

Jim Tamm spent most of his career as a California senior administrative law judge where he mediated more school district labor strikes than anyone else in the country. Today he helps organizations become better at collaboration, conducting “radical collaboration” workshops, building team collaboration and offering online collaboration programs. Jim is the co-author of Radical Collaboration: Five Essential Skills to Overcome Defensiveness and Build Successful Relationships, which has been a top Amazon seller in several categories for most of the past 15 years. Learn more at Jim’s website, www.RadicalCollaboration.com. You can also hear Jim’s Ted Talk, “First Step to Collaboration? Don’t Be So Defensive!” at https://www.ted.com/talks/jim_tamm_first_step_to_collaboration_don_t_be_so_defensive

When we last spoke with Jeremy, he shared with us his process to help successful people write a book that positions the author as an authority on the subject. Today our topic is collaboration, and Jeremy has a fascinating story about how, in trying to solve a staffing problem, he discovered a great way to double his business volume without incurring significant additional expenses. The key was collaborating with other entrepreneurs who wanted to get into publishing. The end result: an entire community of writers, editors, designers and proofreaders who now work together and with Jeremy on projects that have established their businesses and helped them grow.



So if you want to know:

– How what could have been competition became a collaboration that benefits all the businesses involved

– Why you can’t be threatened by other people’s success

– The two key components to a successful collaboration

– How your convictions should drive your business

– The importance of using a proven process to build or grow your business

His robust internal leadership team empowers people to tell their stories. The author of 13 published books and curriculums, Jeremy believes that writing a book is the best way to build your business. You can find out more at his company website, thronepg.com

Sometimes an entrepreneurial journey can take some challenging twists and turns, as we learn in this podcast with Bew White, the chairman of the board of Gabriella White, a premier manufacturer of luxury outdoor furniture. Bew was a fourth-generation member of the family-owned textile manufacturing company Avondale Mills. He left the family business at age 28 to start a series of companies and earned, as he calls it, “an MBA in failure.” His fascinating entrepreneurial journey — and ultimate success starting with the “Summer Classics” brand — holds valuable lessons for all of us.

So if you want to know:

– The six critical traits of an entrepreneur

– The importance of passing along responsibility to your staff

– How focusing on building a culture and something that’s sustainable is more important than focusing on money

– The value of relationships in business — with your suppliers, employees and clients


About Bew White, III

Bew White, III is the chairman of the board of Gabriella White and its brands, including Summer Classics, which designs and manufactures luxury outdoor furniture. Bew was the fourth generation to work in Avondale Mills, a textile manufacturer started by his great grandfather in the 1800s. He left the family-owned company at age 28 to start Vista Corporation, specializing in selling outdoor furniture. Eventually he started multiple companies with the goal of building a national brand. Summer Classics was created to offer “modern classic” products that were consumer driven and would not go out of style. Bew has been named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Society of International Business Fellows and, in 2021, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Casual Furnishings Association. His recent collaboration with author Christopher Taunton produced the well-received biography A Summer Classic: The Bew White Story, which is available on Amazon. More information about the book and Bew’s company is available at www.summerclassicshome.com

When entrepreneur Jeremy Brown was only in his 20s, he decided he wanted to write a book that would be a marketing tool for his consulting business. As he “interviewed himself” and developed the contents for his book, he discovered a process to help successful people tell the story of their success and, in turn, position the book’s author as an authority on the subject.

If, like many people, you’re concerned about how we can continue to feed earth’s inhabitants without further sacrificing our forests, you’ll want to hear from Paul Shapiro. Author and CEO of The Better Meat Co., Paul explains how his company is creating real meat from animal cells so we can continue to enjoy meat without slaughtering cattle or devoting more and more land to them. Creating meat from animal cells sounds like an idea from the future, but it’s happening right now as Paul’s company collaborates with companies like Perdue Farms and Hormel Foods to create the protein of the future. It’s a fascinating story and an important step in the legacy we leave for future generations.



So if you want to know:

– What’s involved in creating real meat from animal cells and the environmental advantages of this process

– How the future of protein will be far more diverse than it is today

– Brands to look for in the grocery store to explore this new approach to meat

– How start-ups can collaborate successfully with large, established companies

He is also the CEO of The Better Meat Co., a four-time TEDx speaker and the host of the “Business for Good” podcast.

If you’ve ever wondered how your personality type affects your work style or your opportunities for leadership, you’ll enjoy hearing from author Terrance Lee. Known as “The Introvert Leader,” Terrance talks about growing up as an introvert, working in an environment too often dominated by extroverts and using his personality to become an effective leader. Learn why Terrance believes introverts can be good leaders and how extroverts can work best with their introverted team members. Terrance’s goal is to empower introverts who feel that they can’t lead and to help all leaders take full advantage of the diverse personalities in the workplace.



So if you want to know:

– How you can maintain your introverted personality and still become a valuable team member

– Helpful tips for introverts — and for the extroverts who work with them

– Why introverts need to “seize the moment” to add value to a meeting or conversation

– The most common myths about introverts — and why they do make good leaders

About Terrence Lee

Although a bad experience at age 13 shaped Terrance Lee’s introverted nature, he was forced — on his first job out of college — to step in for a lead engineer at a highly technical presentation to experienced engineers and pilots. This went well, giving Terrance a tremendous confidence boost. Since then, he has held many management roles at several Fortune 500 companies in the defense industry. He has also made it his mission to empower other introverts to tap into their own inner leadership potential. In his book, Quiet Voice Fearless Leader: 10 Principles For Introverts To Awaken The Leader Inside, he explains how you can be an introvert, be successful and be heard. It’s available on Amazon in print, e-book and audio. You can follow Terrance on Facebook @theintrovertleader, and his Instagram handle is @theintrovertleader

Zander Sprague, a licensed professional clinical counselor, has two specialties: dealing with loss — particularly the loss of a sibling — and team building.

– How a team can help a business or an individual achieve their goals

Jeremy Minder is chairman of 7th Level, ranked by Inc. magazine as the country’s fastest growing sales training company. Jeremy teaches salespeople how to stop pushing their products and, instead, start helping prospects discover their real problems and recognize that the salesperson offers the solution. Using behavioral science and human psychology, Jeremy developed the unique NEPQ sales methodology — neuro emotional persuasion questioning — which more than 200,000 salespeople have used to start achieving their goals.

So if you want to know:

– How human behavior techniques can get prospects to pull you in so you don’t have to push your product

– The three forms of communication used in selling — and why the first two don’t work

– Why coming across as “detached” can make your prospect curious enough to enter into a dialogue that leads to the sale

– The importance of asking “connecting” questions to start and continue the sales conversation

About Jeremy Miner

Jeremey Miner, the founder and chairman of 7th Level, a global sales training company ranked #1,232 on Inc. 5000 fastest growing U.S. companies, understands how to persuade customers in today’s world of selling. During his 17-year sales career, Jeremy was recognized by the Direct Selling Association as the 45th highest-earning producer — out of more than 100 million salespeople selling anything, worldwide. He hosts the podcast, “Closers Are Losers,” and his new book, The New Model of Selling: Selling to an Unsellable Generation — co-authored with Jerry Acuff, CEO of Delta Point — will be published late spring 2022.

Jeremy Minder is chairman of 7th Level, ranked by Inc. magazine as the country’s fastest growing sales training company. Jeremy teaches salespeople how to stop pushing their products and, instead, start helping prospects discover their real problems and recognize that the salesperson offers the solution. Using behavioral science and human psychology, Jeremy developed the unique NEPQ sales methodology — neuro emotional persuasion questioning — which more than 200,000 salespeople have used to start achieving their goals.

So if you want to know:

– How human behavior techniques can get prospects to pull you in so you don’t have to push your product

– The three forms of communication used in selling — and why the first two don’t work

– Why coming across as “detached” can make your prospect curious enough to enter into a dialogue that leads to the sale

– The importance of asking “connecting” questions to start and continue the sales conversation

About Jeremy Miner

Jeremey Miner, the founder and chairman of 7th Level, a global sales training company ranked #1,232 on Inc. 5000 fastest growing U.S. companies, understands how to persuade customers in today’s world of selling. During his 17-year sales career, Jeremy was recognized by the Direct Selling Association as the 45th highest-earning producer — out of more than 100 million salespeople selling anything, worldwide. He hosts the podcast, “Closers Are Losers,” and his new book, The New Model of Selling: Selling to an Unsellable Generation — co-authored with Jerry Acuff, CEO of Delta Point — will be published late spring 2022.

Addictions therapist Candace Plattor believes that, to overcome addiction, everyone in the family needs to be involved. All too often, Candace says, an addict completes treatment, and the family has received little or no guidance as to what needs to happen next. Without the proper counseling for the family, a relapse is likely. Candace — herself a recovered opioid addict, now 34 years clean and sober — delivers a message that is vitally important today as so many families are affected by addiction.

So if you want to know:

– The difference between helping and enabling somebody

– The importance for loved ones to set boundaries with the addicts in their lives

– Why you need to act quickly when you suspect that someone is addicted or becoming addicted

– When to start talking with your children about the dangers of drug use


About Candace Plattor

Candace Plattor is an addictions therapist who specializes in working with family members and loved ones of people struggling with addiction. Her signature “LoveWithBoundaries” Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy Program has helped many addicts and their loved ones understand their dysfunctional behaviors and make healthier life choices.

IBM Master Inventor Neil Sahota has been called “Game Changer” because of his “think different” approach. In this podcast Neil shares with us the three ways to think disruptively out of the box: repurpose something, cultivate a different perspective and challenge assumptions. In addition, as Neil explains, to get real value, you have to “put the pieces together, and that’s why you have to create a collaborative environment.” Neil cofounded the United Nations AI for Good Initiative and today, as an AI advisor, he continues to help the UN build out its ecosystem of strategic partnerships — a real challenge with an organization of 47 agencies that historically have not worked together.



So if you want to know:

How to identify disruptive opportunities and get people to think outside the box
About the importance for companies to share knowledge more quickly and easily
Why businesses need to take away the fear of failure
How you can only be open to possibilities when you admit you need help


About Neil Sahota

Neil Sahota is an IBM Master Inventor, United Nations AI Advisor and Chief Innovation Officer at UC Irvine. Through his work with Global Fortune 500 companies as a change maker, he created his disruptive thinking framework TUBCOTM to show people how to think differently. His book, Own the A.I. Revolution, is a business book for non-technical business leaders that shows how to use the capabilities of AI to disrupt the box.

In this podcast we discuss trademarks with Andrei Mincov whose company, Trademark Factory,® offers trademarking services with guaranteed results for a guaranteed budget. Trained as a lawyer, Andrei became passionate about intellectual property after helping his Russian composer father fight a radio station that stole his music. He explains how intellectual property rights were designed to help the “little guy” and walks us through how to decide if you need a trademark, the best time to file it and if you need to consider filing for a trademark outside your own country. As part of our discussion, Andrei shares his thoughts on the mindset you need to become successful and how a trademark can positively affect how you treat your brand. If you’ve ever wondered if you need a trademark for your business name, Andrei’s detailed, easy-to-understand explanation is a great place to start.



So if you want to know:

– The importance of finding out if your company or product name is even “trademarkable”

– How domain names, LLCs or incorporations don’t really protect your brand

– Questions to ask to determine if you need to file a trademark beyond your home country

– The biggest mistakes small businesses make when it comes to trademarking

– The five factors for any successful business


About Andrei Mincov

Andrei Mincov is the founder of Trademark Factory, the only company in the world to offer trademarking services with a guaranteed result for a guaranteed budget. His career in intellectual property started when he was still in law school in Russia and needed to help his father — a famous Russian composer — fight a major radio station that stole his music. The bestselling author of seven books on intellectual property, Andrei and his company have helped thousands of clients, including industry leaders like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and J.K. Rowling as well as start-ups. To learn more — and request a free call with a Trademark Factory strategy advisor — visit trademarkfactory.com

As part of our discussion, Andrei shares his thoughts on the mindset you need to become successful and how a trademark can positively affect how you treat your brand. If you’ve ever wondered if you need a trademark for your business name, Andrei’s detailed, easy-to-understand explanation is a great place to start.



So if you want to know:

– The importance of finding out if your company or product name is even “trademarkable”

– How domain names, LLCs or incorporations don’t really protect your brand

– Questions to ask to determine if you need to file a trademark beyond your home country

– The biggest mistakes small businesses make when it comes to trademarking

– The five factors for any successful business


About Andrei Mincov

Andrei Mincov is the founder of Trademark Factory, the only company in the world to offer trademarking services with a guaranteed result for a guaranteed budget. His career in intellectual property started when he was still in law school in Russia and needed to help his father — a famous Russian composer — fight a major radio station that stole his music. The bestselling author of seven books on intellectual property, Andrei and his company have helped thousands of clients, including industry leaders like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and J.K. Rowling as well as start-ups. To learn more — and request a free call with a Trademark Factory strategy advisor — visit trademarkfactory.com

In this podcast we talk again with Andrea d’Agostini who earlier provided us with a five-step process to grow your business. Today we’ll hear about Andrea’s wonderful, unique perspective on how to measure success.

Andrea deplores how social media looks at success in terms of “apparency” — as he defines it, the pictures on Instagram or the latest toys you have. In contrast, Andrea believes the most important measure of success is how many people you can help. Andrea encourages people to picture how you want to work with others, the family relationship you want to have and how you want to contribute to society. Then, the closer you get to that picture you’ve created for yourself, the more successful you will be. It’s a different way to look at business and at life and one that is sure to resonate with each of us as we build our legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why the people we most admire are those who help — their staff, their family, their customers and society

– How to create your own definition of success

– Why you need to stop treating life as if it’s a general rehearsal for life

– How to realize you are the main character in your life — as well as the screenwriter and director


About Andrea d’Agostini

Andrea d’Agostini started his career as an actor and quickly discovered that the flow of communication you can create through the craft of acting is amazing. Moving from soap operas to TV commercials, Andrea learned that businesses had no idea how to communicate with people. So he started to work in marketing, specifically marketing for the music industry. Today he teaches entrepreneurs and helps companies scale their businesses. On average Andrea’s company can add a million dollars to the bottom line of a business in less than 12 months. With more than 400 companies currently in different stages of execution of his five-step “finding the gaps” process, his clients include start-ups as well as established businesses in industries as diverse as weight loss, dentistry and food and beverage.

In this podcast we talk with Mark Rockwell who is both an attorney and an entrepreneur. After graduating from law school and passing the bar, Mark realized that he enjoyed business more than he enjoyed the law. So, after building a number of businesses, he sold his last company and began helping other businesses — particularly law firms — get better organized, scale up and become more profitable. Although Mark works specifically with attorneys, his message is valuable for any business that is struggling to achieve the consistency that’s necessary to grow. Mark is adamant about the need for businesses to focus. In fact, it’s the first part of his “FACE” acronym, which addresses what entrepreneurs and professionals need to emphasize to run a successful business.



So if you want to know:

– Why focus and discipline — two necessities for a successful business — can be so challenging for entrepreneurs and professionals

– Tips for dealing with emails, texts and other interruptions that steal your time and mental energy

– The importance of giving yourself time — each day — to get mentally organized

– About the need to create boundaries so you can maintain life balance and good mental health

– The value of getting business advice from someone who’s “one-click removed”


About Mark Rockwell

An attorney and an entrepreneur, Mark Rockwell has started and grown several companies during his career, experiencing the same frustrations and setbacks all lawyers and business owners face. Today he works with attorneys to help them create their vision and implement an operating platform that builds healthy, thriving law firms. Mark is the author of the ebook, Five Mistakes Lawyers Make that Kill Their Career, available free on his website, www.coachrockwell.com. On Mark’s website you’ll also find a law firm organizational checkup that includes his “25 Fundamental Questions” attorneys should ask themselves about the performance of their firm.

In this podcast Meghan Lynch, the founder and CEO of Six-Point Creative, talks about her entrepreneurial journey and how it led to the focus of her company: Helping family-owned food and beverage businesses move from a “stuck brand at a plateau” to a focused, scalable brand positioned for sustainable growth. The Six-Point Creative flagship program — Solve for Y Brand Accelerator System — is designed to help family businesses double their business without losing their existing customers or values. Meghan shares with us the most common mistakes family businesses make and her recommendations for what businesses should be planning for now. It’s a fascinating discussion for any business leader and one that will be of particular value for owners of family businesses.

So if you want to know:

– Why businesses get “stuck” — and it’s not for lack of opportunities
– Why you need to figure out the DNA — “do not alter” — of your brand
– How internal/external branding can help you retain key employees and position your company as an employer of choice
– How the fear of alienating an existing client can stop you from growing
– How knowing your company’s touchpoints can help you spend your marketing dollars more effectively


About Meghan Lynch

Meghan Lynch is a brand strategist and founder and CEO of Six-Point Creative. She basically fell into entrepreneurship and, when her co-founding partners retired, realized she had to figure it out for herself. After talking with other CEOs of family-owned, closely held businesses, she decided to focus Six-Point Creative on family-owned restaurants and food manufacturers. Today she helps these businesses make smarter, faster decisions that drive growth. A sought-after speaker, Megan was named one of the Enterprising Women of the Year in 2019. She has set up a special landing page on her company’s website for Building My Legacy listeners. At www.sixpointcreative.com/buildyourlegacy, you can find a number of business tools, including her “touch point matrix” to help you focus your marketing budget more effectively.

In this podcast Baden Gilmore, the vice president of Sales at RavenCSI, encourages us to broaden our approach to marketing and sales. While today we tend to look at marketing through a digital lens, Baden has seen all sides of marketing and knows what works and doesn’t work for businesses of all sizes.

Baden believes that well-motivated salespeople who are excited about what they’re selling can be successful by creating a personal connection — over the phone — with qualified prospects. Although the pandemic has made “cold calling” more challenging, Baden is convinced that the only way to consistently get sales is to pre-screen and qualify prospects and then call them. Calling sales “a numbers game,” he provides us with a proven formula that will lead to the number of desired sales. “Motivate people and give them the tools,” Baden tells us, and your company can increase its sales.

So if you want to know:

– How it all starts with what you’re selling — and why you need to love it
– How to identify the best prospects for your product or service
– How many “dials” you should make in a day to get the number of presentations you need to meet your sales goals
– Why you need to “smile before you dial”


About Baden Gilmore

Baden Gilmore is the vice president of sales at RavenCSI, which provides real-time customer intelligence, alerts and reporting capabilities to enhance customer retention. Prior to joining RavenCSI, Baden offered sales and business development services through his own consulting company and worked in sales, marketing and advertising for a number of companies in the U.S., Australia and Southeast Asia. Baden has been in sales all his life since his first job, working with his mother, selling encyclopedias door to door.

In this podcast Baden Gilmore, the vice president of Sales at RavenCSI, encourages us to broaden our approach to marketing and sales. While today we tend to look at marketing through a digital lens, Baden has seen all sides of marketing and knows what works and doesn’t work for businesses of all sizes.

Baden believes that well-motivated salespeople who are excited about what they’re selling can be successful by creating a personal connection — over the phone — with qualified prospects. Although the pandemic has made “cold calling” more challenging, Baden is convinced that the only way to consistently get sales is to pre-screen and qualify prospects and then call them. Calling sales “a numbers game,” he provides us with a proven formula that will lead to the number of desired sales. “Motivate people and give them the tools,” Baden tells us, and your company can increase its sales.

So if you want to know:

– How it all starts with what you’re selling — and why you need to love it
– How to identify the best prospects for your product or service
– How many “dials” you should make in a day to get the number of presentations you need to meet your sales goals
– Why you need to “smile before you dial”


About Baden Gilmore

Baden Gilmore is the vice president of sales at RavenCSI, which provides real-time customer intelligence, alerts and reporting capabilities to enhance customer retention. Prior to joining RavenCSI, Baden offered sales and business development services through his own consulting company and worked in sales, marketing and advertising for a number of companies in the U.S., Australia and Southeast Asia. Baden has been in sales all his life since his first job, working with his mother, selling encyclopedias door to door. He is the author of The Art of the Cold Call: Old School in which he shares tips from 30 years of prospecting, cold calling and selling success. The book is available on Amazon.

In this podcast Stephanie Walter, CEO of ERBE Wealth, talks about how the wealthy become wealthy and maintain that wealth. More importantly, she explains that anyone can follow this successful formula by ensuring their investments create cash flow. Stephanie’s company specializes in real estate syndication — putting together a group of investors to purchase a piece of real estate that’s bigger than anyone could buy on their own. Investors are paid a monthly distribution — typically more than they’d earn on more traditional investments such as a 401k.

Syndication also offers important tax advantages, as Stephanie explains, another reason the wealthy are attracted to this type of investment. Whether you’re a would-be entrepreneur looking for a profitable business … someone who’s not getting ahead in a “W-2 job” … or looking for a new way to build your legacy … you’ll find our discussion with Stephanie very interesting.

So if you want to know:

– What you need to “unlearn” to begin investing as the wealthy do
– Why syndication can be a safe investment — even during a recession
– Why most wealthy investors don’t have a 401k
– How successful syndicators choose their markets and their properties
– The tax advantages of “cost segregation” and 1031 exchange properties


About Stephanie Walter

The CEO of Erbe Wealth, Stephanie Walker is a capital raiser, syndicator, 1031 exchange advisor and real estate investor. After selling the insurance agency she owned for 16 years, she now teaches people to “unlearn” what most of us have been wired to think about money and re-educates people on attaining lasting wealth. She sees herself as the gateway between investors and well vetted deals. You can learn more about Stephanie and her company at her website, erbewealth.com

In this podcast we talk with Manuel Suarez, the CEO of Attention Grabbing Media, a full-service marketing agency that helps its clients use online media to get the attention they deserve. Manuel’s story is especially appropriate for Building My Legacy listeners because it begins with the work of his father whose legacy was getting his message in front of the world. Today Manuel continues to build on that legacy to help businesses create real value and connect with potential customers, which in turn will help them grow.

Manuel admits that providing content to people that, in effect, shows how they will never need you seems counterintuitive to businesses trying to attract new customers. He has proven, however, that building real value before you make offers will generate more revenue for your organization. Manuel also shares with us how his ability to stay motivated through hardships has enabled him to grow his company from three core employees to more than 90 today. It’s a fascinating discussion and one that demonstrates the importance of building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How one man’s legacy pushed his son to the next level and helped his company grow

– The importance of providing real value that actually helps others and makes a difference

– Why you need to connect with people before you make them offers

– How understanding how your business helps people and reaching out to them leads to increased revenue


About Manuel Suarez

Manuel Suarez went from personal bankruptcy — in which he lost everything — to an eight-figure millionaire. His company, Attention Grabbing Media, carries on the legacy of his father who was committed to giving people the right information about staying healthy. His thousands of videos and hundreds of articles are the legacy he left Manuel and the basis of the Attention Grabbing Media marketing formula: Helping people by spreading a message leads to real business growth. Manuel has been featured on Yahoo Finance and Entrepreneur.com, and his company is ranked on the Inc. 5000 list. You can learn more at his website, agmagency.com

In this podcast we talk with social entrepreneur and leadership training innovator Scott Drake. The founder and executive director at JumpCoach, Scott helps people become great leaders faster. He shares his thoughts with us on leadership, how he defines it and the JumpCoach process that includes an accelerator program to eliminate the false beliefs people bring to leadership and help them start behaving more like leaders — in weeks, not years.

Scott believes that leadership isn’t a skill but rather the ability to understand all the facets of the job and think about it correctly. That’s why he encourages giving people the opportunity and the right training at the right levels. Whether you’re part of the C-suite, a newly promoted manager or a would-be leader, Scott’s practical information will benefit you — especially as you begin to build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why leaders don’t have to have all the answers

– About the need to be aware of those small moments — good and bad — that can happen in your interactions with employees and co-workers

– The three parts to the JumpCoach leadership accelerator program

– The importance of balancing four — often conflicting — leadership goals

– How the relationship between employer and employee is changing


About Scott Drake

Scott Drake started his career as a computer programmer. When he had the opportunity to lead a team of 10 engineers, he discovered that he didn’t know how to work through others to get things done, and it took him about 10 years before he felt like a good leader. Knowing that today most companies don’t have 10 years to watch less-than-competent leaders figure it out, he created JumpCoach, a social enterprise on a mission to make best-in-class leadership available to everyone who needs it. You can learn more about Scott and his company at JumpCoach.com

In this podcast we talk with Andrea d’Agostini, serial entrepreneur, renowned public speaker and successful mentor. Andrea thinks of marketing as a product rather than a service. In fact, he sees marketing as a way to create long-term assets in your business.

In his early career, Andrea was an actor, and he believes that entrepreneurs are really artists “because they have to create their company every day.” You’ll enjoy hearing about Andrea’s fascinating background and how his unique pragmatic approach — including his five-step process of “finding the gaps” — can help businesses of all sizes grow exponentially.

So if you want to know:

– How an “acceleration diet” can help you scale your business
– The basics you need for your business to accelerate
– Why an entrepreneur needs to have a product that benefits society
– The role “word of mouth” advertising plays in determining the value of a product
– The importance of investing in yourself in order to scale your business




About Andrea d’Agostini

Moving from soap operas to TV commercials, Andrea learned that businesses had no idea how to communicate with people. So he started to work in marketing, specifically marketing for the music industry. Today he teaches entrepreneurs and helps companies scale their businesses. On average Andrea’s company can add a million dollars to the bottom line of a business in less than 12 months. With more than 400 companies currently in different stages of execution of his five-step “finding the gaps” process, his clients include start-ups as well as established businesses in industries as diverse as weight loss, dentistry and food and beverage.

In this podcast we talk with serial entrepreneur and author Jeremie Kubicek, the executive chairman of GiANT, a technology company focused on unlocking the potential of people, teams and organizations. Since catching what Jeremie calls “the bug of entrepreneurship,” he has started 28 companies. At GiANT Jeremie’s goal is to help people come alive — to take employees from being compliant to being engaged. He believes the job of a leader is to help people get to the next level. Jeremie also shares with us his thoughts on various transitions, including things to consider when you’re looking for a new job, managing or adjusting to changes in your workplace and even recruiting new team members.

So if you want to know:

How to treat employees as assets, not liabilities
About the “lighting a pilot light” approach to engaging employees
Why the best example of leadership is the Sherpa
The difference between being a good performer and being good at leading performers
The importance of looking for the best culture and leadership team to work with


About Jeremie Kubicek

Jeremie Kubicek is a powerful communicator, serial entrepreneur and corporate thought leader. He’s passionate about providing coaches and leaders with the tools and certifications they need to increase the performance of individuals and teams. Working in Russia in the 1990s, Jeremie saw firsthand what happens when people are compliant but not engaged. That experience taught him to look at business a bit differently, seeing it as a combination of strategy, the business model, funding, capital and people. He recently transitioned from CEO to executive chairman of GiANT, the technology company he founded 23 years ago. He is the author of the national bestseller, Making Your Leadership Come Alive as well as The 100X Leader and 5 Gears. 5 Voices, the book he co-wrote with international consultant and speaker Steve Cockram, presents a simple way to understand the personalities of your employees, your family and yourself.

In this podcast we talk with Julie Bartkus, a leading authority on workplace transformation. Julie shares with us how she has moved teams from negative to positive and helped teams work together more effectively by using the D.R.I.V.E. method she developed. She elaborates on each step of this method — making clear what you, as a leader Desire; taking full Responsibility for everything that happens with your staff; using your Imagination to create the reality you want; having a strong, compelling Vision; and putting in the Energy that will get you results. Julie believes that a huge percentage of your success depends on your mindset. If you stay in the mindset of serving your vision, you’ll set the bar high and “uplevel your thoughts.” That’s an important message wherever you are in your career and in the process of building your legacy.



So if you want to know:

– How your emotional intelligence and the ability to manage yourself will help you manage your employees in a constructive way

– The key to recruiting the right employees

– About the “why formula” that can help you make a difference in your job

– How to bring your corporate vision to life in your employees’ hearts and minds

– Why corporate gossip is a symptom of a deeper workplace problem

– Why there really is an “I” in T-E-A-M


About Julie Bartkus

A leading authority on workplace transformation, Julie Bartkus has 20 years’ experience in helping leaders across the globe transform their workplace culture from negative and destructive to happy and productive. Her own career — in corporate, retail and the childcare industry — gave her the opportunity to analyze what good managers were doing. She used that hands-on research to develop her D.R.I.V.E. Method to help leaders attract the right staff to support their vision as well as to motivate, inspire and lead their existing teams.

In this podcast we talk again with David Greer, entrepreneurial coach, author and facilitator, who in a recent podcast shared his struggle with alcoholism. This time David gives us an in-depth look at the planning process he uses to help businesses achieve high performance and growth. David believes that, to thrive, a business needs to look ahead at least three years, then work back to a one-year plan and only then do quarterly planning. The offsite planning sessions he conducts with management teams follow a strategic process that allows leaders to look farther down the road, discover and implement a core set of values, get to the root of the real challenges, and identify the one number — or KPI — that has the biggest impact on business revenue and profitability.



So if you want to know:

The importance of making a commitment to a strategic planning process
Why you need to focus on profitability rather than revenue growth
The role a “Who, What and When?” document can play in your strategic plan
How to identify the KPI you should focus on and the importance of putting in place a system to measure it
Why every employee needs to show how their daily work relates to a corporate goal
Why you should “hire for culture first, skill second”


About David Greer

David Greer joined Robelle, a leading provider of HP3000 solutions, when it was still a start-up and he was studying computer science in college. He eventually became a co-owner and was president of this company until he sold out in 2001. Today David has a mission: to take his 35 years of entrepreneurial experience and share it with other entrepreneurs to accelerate their success. He understands that, working with him, you’ll feel equally scared and hopeful — scared at the audacity of your dreams and hopeful because he’s in your corner to help your dreams become real. A life-long sailor, David relates his personal experiences — in business and in life — to the challenges of growing a business. Successful entrepreneurs learn to harness their efforts to seamlessly blow them in the direction they want to go. You can learn more in his book, Wind In Your Sails, and on his company website, coachdjgreer.com

In this podcast we talk with David Greer, entrepreneurial coach, author and facilitator. David shares with us the fascinating story of his life’s journey, including a major issue he overcame that we know can happen to any of us as we’re establishing our career and building our legacy. David delivers a message of hope for anyone suffering from a chemical dependency. He also provides valuable information for business owners who may be dealing with employees with alcohol problems. It’s a revealing discussion for anyone facing this problem themselves or with employees, friends or family members. As David, who now has 12 years of sobriety, explains, it’s “progress, not perfection.”



So if you want to know:

– How pervasive alcoholism is
– About “super high performing” alcoholics
– Why you need discipline to be really successful — in your business or personal life
– Keys to navigating sobriety
– The importance of learning to live life on life’s terms

In this podcast we talk with Cory Lee who is an entrepreneur, business builder and leadership expert. An executive director with The John Maxwell Team, Cory is most passionate about helping entrepreneurs navigate business growth but not at the expense of their faith, family and fitness. While we rarely talk about those three topics in terms of corporate growth, Cory believes they are essential if you want to grow your business and yet keep your life in balance. Our discussion touches on understanding your values and putting a structure in place that will enable you to live out those values. We also talk about the importance of developing leaders who will go out and develop other leaders — a vital message for anyone who is trying to build their legacy.



So if you want to know:

– How to hold yourself accountable by asking yourself seven questions at the end of each day
– The importance of creating “white space” where you can just get away from everything and regroup
– Why you should be a river and not a reservoir
– About the “Law of the Lid” and how it can help you and – your team grow
– Why leadership doesn’t have to be lonely

About Cory Lee

Cory Lee was trained and mentored by world-renowned leadership expert John Maxwell and is now an executive director with The John Maxwell Team. With his wife, Cory opened and successfully sold several businesses in the health care and fitness industries. An accomplished speaker and trainer, he also helps individual leaders maximize their growth through one-on-one coaching and mastermind groups. Cory is available on various social media sites, and he has created a special landing page for Building My Legacy listeners where you can download two free helpful leadership tools: a questionnaire to see how balanced your life is and a spousal survey to facilitate a good conversation between you and your spouse. You can find these free downloads at www.coryleeleadership.com/legacy

In this podcast we talk with Ken Kladouris, entrepreneur, author and wealth management expert, who takes a very different approach to business. He shares with us how he came to combine mindset, meditation and his perspective on life with wealth management. Ken explains how, by meditating for 20 minutes twice a day, he has lowered his stress and anxiety, been able to stay focused and increased his creativity. After participating in a week of silence in 2018, he began to formulate Stillness to Success, an online course for individuals who are ready to create real change in their lives, truly understand what they’re trying to achieve in life, stay focused and actually create the success they want. Ken also believes that your legacy is up to you and the choices you make … and that starts with today.



So if you want to know:

– About the many benefits of meditation
– Why your own mental chatter can prevent you from having balance in your life
– How, when you know more than surface level reasons, you’ll have the energy to reach your goals
– How you’ll be able to focus if you stop trying to control everything


About Ken Kladouris

Ken Kladouris — entrepreneur, speaker and wealth advisor — is the author of Get There! Chart Your Course to Financial Abundance and Live the Life You Desire. He’s also a Chopra Certified Meditation Instructor, teaching mantra-based meditation. His new online course, Stillness to Success, helps people cut through the noise, find their stillness and create the success they want in life. Ken compiled this course with practical and impactful lessons he extracted from years of his own self-study with a spin that is fresh and relevant to the world we’re all experiencing today. More information about Ken and his online course is available on his website, KenKladouris.com

In this podcast we talk with speaker, author and consultant Hannah Williams who specializes in helping leaders gain a competitive advantage by recruiting, retaining and leading Generation Z talent. A Gen Z’r herself, Hannah believes the entrepreneurial spirit of Gen Z offers businesses an incredible opportunity that will better prepare them for the next 10 to 15 years in terms of talent strategy. Whether you’ve become comfortable working with millennials or are still struggling to work with that generation, you need to learn more about our next economic powerhouse — Generation Z. Hearing what Hannah has to say about her own generation is a great place to start.



So if you want to know:

– Who Generation Z is
– The five key differences between millennials and Generation Z
– Surprising information about how Gen Z views technology
– How to take advantage of Gen Z’s entrepreneurial spirit
– About using mentorship as a recruitment tool
– More recruiting tips for Generation Z


About Hannah Williams

Hannah Williams started her business career at the age of 12 when, on a weekly trip with her father to collect rents for his properties, he asked her to take a phone call from someone who had a house for sale. Although she fumbled through the call, within weeks they owned the property. She went to college at the age of 14 and graduated with a degree in international business at 18. Now, as a 23-year-old Gen Z’r, she has consulted with a wide range of businesses — from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies — and is on a mission to help leaders leverage Gen Z talent as a competitive advantage. Her soon-to-be-published book, A Leader’s Guide to Unlocking Gen Z, provides practical tools you can implement to connect with and lead Gen Z effectively. You can learn more about Hannah at her website where you’ll also find a free “pulse check assessment.” Use this quick gauge to determine where you need to focus your recruitment efforts: hannahgwilliams.com/mylegacy

In this podcast we talk with Russ Morgan and Joey Mure, founders and partners at Wealth Without Wall Street. Their message is one many of us will want to hear: Financial freedom is something you can achieve now. You don’t have to put it off until you’re in your 60s or 70s. Russ and Joey recognized years ago that they were trading their time for money. No matter how hard they worked, they just spent more time at work and less time with their families. They founded Wealth Without Wall Street to help people realize that you can become financially free long before your anticipated retirement date. Their message is especially relevant message today as we try to put the pandemic behind us and wonder what’s next in our lives.



So if you want to know:

– How it’s possible to become your own banker
– The three-step process to financial freedom
– Why you need to discover your “investor DNA”
– The myth that Wall Street has sold us
– The importance of having access to cash and making it do two things at once
– How not knowing can prevent you from taking action


About Russ Morgan and Joey Mure

Russ Morgan and Joey Mure are the founders of Wealth Without Wall Street, a nationwide community of individuals, business owners and investors who have access to coaching, legal and tax experts and networking that helps participants take control of the path to financial freedom. Russ started his career as an investment advisor while Joey was in the mortgage business before moving to finance. They both learned that the secret to financial freedom is having your money work for you, not for someone else.

In this podcast we talk with management consultant and leadership coach Deb Coviello, who, for more than 25 years, has helped transform businesses from within, elevating the talents of their organizations to new performance levels. Having worked as an engineer in quality and operational excellence in manufacturing environments, Deb took the leap to form her own company, Illumination Partners, which works particularly with the CEOs of medium-sized manufacturers that are going through significant changes.



Deb’s discussion with us is especially timely as we look at what many experts predict will be a tremendous talent shift. As things stabilize, it’s estimated that between 40 and 70 percent of employees will look for a new job. Deb believes that, to prevent a tremendous turnover in your business, you need to recognize that people are the “greatest tool in your toolbox” and, by getting back on track to your “true North,” you can create a shared vision with your employees.



So if you want to know:

– Why it’s better to be your industry’s “favorite” than its #1
– Why thinking about how you can lead differently is more important than creating a to-do list
– About the need for leaders to continue to evolve
– The top three suggestions for CEOs operating in today’s world
– Signs you’re losing the emerging leaders in your organization


About Deb Coviello

Deb Coviello is a management consultant, leadership coach and founder of Illumination Partners. Trained as an engineer, Deb has 25+ years’ experience in quality and operational excellence, including certification as Lean and Six Sigma Blackbelt in Process Improvement. She helps CEOs create solutions by assessing the landscape, solving their technical business issues and elevating their people for a lasting impact and, ultimately, peace of mind. Deb is the author of the new book, CEO’s Compass — Your Guide to Getting Back on Track, and the host of “The Drop In CEO” podcast.

In this podcast we talk with Jim Kukral, retired web entrepreneur, speaker and author. Jim’s 25-year career includes owning businesses, marketing, and writing and speaking about entrepreneurship. But, after a cancer diagnosis and the pandemic, Jim threw it all away to start something completely different: Life Apocalypse. The goal of his new brand is to help people like him who are thinking about legacy, death, lifestyle and life purpose. He uses the word apocalypse in terms of a revelation — an important transformational moment in your life that, although it may create traumatic stress, can be turned into a growth opportunity. For those of you who are asking very important questions about where you want to take your life, Jim’s message will be especially valuable.



So if you want to know:

– Why you shouldn’t think of your life as a straight line
– What it takes for most people to experience a mindset shift
– What stops you from building the lifestyle you want
– Why you have to start believing in the possibilities
– How the pandemic has affected what we pay attention to
– Different ways to define your legacy


About Jim Kukral

Faced with the pandemic and a cancer diagnosis, Jim Kukral left a successful Internet marketing career to start a passion project called “Life Apocalypse.” His goal is to help people who, often as the result of the pandemic, have decided they want to live and think differently. With the Life Apocalypse brand, Jim is helping people figure out how to live a life of significance, impact and purpose. You can learn more about Jim at his website — lifeapoc.com — where you can take a free, text-based, four-day challenge to begin to experience the four components of a Life Apocalypse: mindset, lifestyle, impact and purpose.

In this podcast we talk with Rick Maurer — author, speaker and consultant — who helps business leaders identify resistance to change and turn that opposition into support. Rick offers a very practical approach to change management, explaining that employees go through three distinct “levels of resistance” to change. As a leader implementing a change, you need to understand that first, employees don’t get it; second, they don’t like it; and, third, they don’t like you. By addressing the resistance that comes with each level, you will be able to gain your employees’ support for the change and ensure a successful implementation. With so many companies changing their strategy as a result of the pandemic, Rick’s message will be helpful for business owners and leaders who need to implement changes — large and small — in their organizations.

So if you want to know:

– Why the first step in change management is getting the right information
– Why five PowerPoint slides can be more effective than 50
– The right and wrong ways to use employee surveys and focus groups
– About “pockets of energy” and how to take advantage of them
– How studying the implementation of a past change can be beneficial
– The advantage of keeping people in the loop all the time - not just when you’re implementing a change


About Rick Maurer

Change expert Rick Maurer works with leaders and their teams to overcome resistance to change. Since the publication of his book Beyond the Wall of Resistance in the 1990s, Rick’s opinion has been sought by The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, NBC Nightly News, Fortune and many other media outlets. He has consulted on change management for some of the largest companies in the world, including Lockheed Martin, Deloitte, Verizon, Charles Schwab, NASA and Kaiser Permanente as well as government agencies around the world. His latest book, Seizing Moments of Possibility, addresses the question of many leaders — “Who has time to gain employee support for change?” — by showing how to blend support for change into routine tasks. It’s available free as an ebook on his website, RickMaurer.com

In this podcast we talk with Cory Lee who is an entrepreneur, business builder and leadership expert. An executive director with The John Maxwell Team, Cory is most passionate about helping entrepreneurs navigate business growth but not at the expense of their faith, family and fitness. While we rarely talk about those three topics in terms of corporate growth, Cory believes they are essential if you want to grow your business and yet keep your life in balance. Our discussion touches on understanding your values and putting a structure in place that will enable you to live out those values. We also talk about the importance of developing leaders who will go out and develop other leaders — a vital message for anyone who is trying to build their legacy.



So if you want to know:

– How to hold yourself accountable by asking yourself seven questions at the end of each day
– The importance of creating “white space” where you can just get away from everything and regroup
– Why you should be a river and not a reservoir
– About the “Law of the Lid” and how it can help you and your team grow
– Why leadership doesn’t have to be lonely


About Cory Lee

Cory Lee was trained and mentored by world-renowned leadership expert John Maxwell and is now an executive director with The John Maxwell Team. With his wife, Cory opened and successfully sold several businesses in the health care and fitness industries. An accomplished speaker and trainer, he also helps individual leaders maximize their growth through one-on-one coaching and mastermind groups. Cory is available on various social media sites, and he has created a special landing page for Building My Legacy listeners where you can download two free helpful leadership tools: a questionnaire to see how balanced your life is and a spousal survey to facilitate a good conversation between you and your spouse.

In this podcast we talk with Sarry Ibrahim, CEO and president of Financial Asset Protection, which approaches financing in a very different way. Sarry’s strategy is “bank on yourself” or the “infinite banking concept.” It involves using the cash value of whole life insurance to grow safe and predictable wealth. You become, in effect, the source of your own financing. Your credit score, real estate or business collateral doesn’t matter. All that’s important is a whole life policy that, when structured properly and with enough cash value, can provide financing at any time and for any reason.



If you typically rely on third-party lending to grow your business, you’ll want to know more about how this very different approach can offer a real competitive advantage to business owners and real estate investors — especially when banks are lending less money or tightening their loan requirements. It’s an excellent topic to explore as we all need to become more creative with our resources.



So if you want to know:

– Why third-party lending makes it seem that we’re working for the lenders
– How the “infinite banking concept” works, who can benefit from it and who can’t
– Why whole life insurance may not be a good investment but can be a smart savings strategy
– The tax advantages of “banking on yourself”
– The questions to ask when you’re looking for a broker who does infinite banking


About Sarry Ibrahim

The CEO and president of Financial Asset Protection, Sarry Ibrahim uses a financing strategy called “infinite banking” to help real estate investors, business owners and individuals create their own sources of financing while also growing safe and predictable wealth. With this strategy, you “bank on yourself” by using whole life insurance as your own source of financing. Recognizing that no one product is right for everyone, Sarry works closely with his clients to understand their current financial situation and where they want to be in the next five to 20 years. The name of his podcast — “Thinking Like a Bank” — reflects Sarry’s belief that good financial decisions require you to think like an entrepreneur rather than a consumer. He can be reached at his company website, finassetprotection.com

In this podcast we talk with Brian Johnson, the founder of Main & Johnson, Inc., a business consulting and coaching company whose goal is to help small to medium-sized businesses thrive — not just survive. Brian shares his own entrepreneurial journey with us, explaining how he made the jump from building multi-million dollar business units within Fortune 500 companies to starting his own small business. He also covers the progression of companies along the business cycle, using a practical analogy of an airline flight — from takeoff, through ascension, cruising altitude and safe landing. Along the way he explores what to do when you need to make adjustments for turbulence and how to formulate a strategy for continued growth. You’ll find out discussion helpful whether you’re starting a new business, trying to break through a plateau or planning for your exit.



So if you want to know:

– The importance of developing a growth strategy — even when your business is already growing
– Why you can’t wait for everything to be perfect again before moving your business forward
– The importance of figuring out what systems you need to scale and grow your business
– How finding the right partners can help deliver value to your business
– When it’s time to look for a business coach
– Why you can’t lose sight of the “end game”


About Brian Johnson

The founder and owner of Main & Johnson, a business consulting and coaching company, Brian Johnson partners with the owners of small- and medium-sized businesses to bridge the gap between what success they’ve had and the success they seek. Brian and his team specialize in driving accountability, long-term growth and accelerated results by blending his outside perspective with the business owners’ knowledge and experience.

In this podcast we talk with licensed medical aesthetics provider Lana Ivanov, the founder of Advanced Aesthetics Medi Spa and formulator of the Vonavi Pro skincare line. Lana shares with us how, while working in a hospital as a nurse, she decided — in just three days — to buy her aesthetician’s business. Today she operates the medi spa and markets her own line of chemical-free skincare products, which she developed because she couldn’t find another complete line that offered everything her clients needed.

Lana talks with us about more than skin care. She shares with us her experience working with Kevin Harrington and Shark Discoveries, which allowed her to expand her audience by using brand response TV. Lana also has advice about growing a business while keeping a balanced lifestyle — an important message for all entrepreneurs and leaders seeking to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The keys to developing the new lifestyle your own business requires
– How a marketing company like Shark Discoveries can help promote your business all over the world
– About keeping a whole life balance while still building a strong business
– How taking care of your skin can help you look better, feel better and actually become a better person

About Lana Ivanov

Lana Ivanov is a self-made entrepreneur with a passion for skincare. Trained as a nurse, Lana earned a paramedical license in aesthetics, allowing her to use advanced skincare techniques and provide pre- and post-surgical skin care treatments. When she realized that many of her Advanced Aesthetics Medi Spa clients needed help at home to get the skin results they wanted, she developed Vonavi Pro, a complete line of skincare products with no toxins, parabens or chemicals. Her website includes a quiz to help visitors determine the combination of products that are right for their skin type and special needs. Lana has been featured in Vogue, Forbes Magazine and on Yahoo Finance, NBC and FOX. More information about Lana and her medi spa is available at www.advancedaestheticsmedispa.com, and her products can be found at www.vonavipro.com

In this podcast we talk with licensed medical aesthetics provider Lana Ivanov, the founder of Advanced Aesthetics Medi Spa and formulator of the Vonavi Pro skincare line. Lana shares with us how, while working in a hospital as a nurse, she decided — in just three days — to buy her aesthetician’s business. Today she operates the medi spa and markets her own line of chemical-free skincare products, which she developed because she couldn’t find another complete line that offered everything her clients needed.

Lana talks with us about more than skin care. She shares with us her experience working with Kevin Harrington and Shark Discoveries, which allowed her to expand her audience by using brand response TV. Lana also has advice about growing a business while keeping a balanced lifestyle — an important message for all entrepreneurs and leaders seeking to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The keys to developing the new lifestyle your own business requires
– How a marketing company like Shark Discoveries can help promote your business all over the world
– About keeping a whole life balance while still building a strong business
– How taking care of your skin can help you look better, feel better and actually become a better person

About Lana Ivanov

Lana Ivanov is a self-made entrepreneur with a passion for skincare. Trained as a nurse, Lana earned a paramedical license in aesthetics, allowing her to use advanced skincare techniques and provide pre- and post-surgical skin care treatments. When she realized that many of her Advanced Aesthetics Medi Spa clients needed help at home to get the skin results they wanted, she developed Vonavi Pro, a complete line of skincare products with no toxins, parabens or chemicals. Her website includes a quiz to help visitors determine the combination of products that are right for their skin type and special needs. Lana has been featured in Vogue, Forbes Magazine and on Yahoo Finance, NBC and FOX. More information about Lana and her medi spa is available at www.advancedaestheticsmedispa.com, and her products can be found at www.vonavipro.com

In this podcast we talk with Matthew Anderson, the CEO of Leadership Coaching for Results, a company he started after leaving a position as executive director of a non-profit mental health organization. He explores with us his “results equation” that enables managers to become leaders … and why, in today’s work-from-anywhere world, leadership is more important than ever.



Matthew points to the logo for his company — a fingerprint — and explains how it emphasizes that “a leader leaves their fingerprints all over the organization and all over the people that they touch and serve.” That’s important for leaders to recognize because they’re leaving their fingerprints — and building their legacy — every day.



So if you want to know:

– Why demonstrating empathy is the first step to creating trust — a necessary component in the results equation
– The importance of allowing yourself to be vulnerable in your dialogue with an employee
– How to use your negative experiences as learning lessons for others
– The critical difference between motivation and manipulation
– Why you need to take the time to behave as a leader


About Matthew Anderson

After working in a variety of industries, including education consulting, Matthew Anderson became executive director of a non-profit mental health organization. When the government funding he was able to secure was delayed as a result of the COVID pandemic, he made the difficult decision to lay himself off. When he thought about what he wanted to do next, he decided to combine his knowledge, skills, education, experience and passion and start Leadership Coaching for Results. The goal of his new company: to help strong managers and professionals become the leaders they need and want to be. Matthew has been named the #1 Corporate Trainer in the World by Dale Carnegie & Associates, has consulted with and conducted in-house corporate training for a Fortune 400 Company and has written numerous nationally published articles. More information about Matthew and his company is available at leadershipcoachingforresults.com

In this podcast we talk with Aurora Winter who is a TV producer, media coach, bestselling author and successful entrepreneur. Aurora combines a background in film and television with her knowledge of neuroscience to help people tell memorable stories that build brands, books and businesses. She believes that many individuals have great ideas but sometimes need help communicating their ideas to the rest of the world. Aurora steps in with books, courses and one-on-one coaching that can help them write a book, become an in-demand speaker, raise money for a start-up or even negotiate for a raise. According to Aurora, “There’s never been a better time to become an author” or a thought leader, which can help you make a difference and build your legacy.



So if you want to know:

– Why this is a great time to turn your words into wealth
– How the “tipping point” for your business can lead to your own published book
– How independently published books are revolutionizing the publishing business — and making money
– The two things “the top 4%” do to communicate more effectively
– Why, if you don’t tell your story, you’re leaving money on the table


About Aurora Winter

Aurora Winter left a successful career in Canada as a TV executive to become a full-time author, trainer and entrepreneur. Using storytelling for business, she has helped clients publish best-selling books, give Tedx talks, appear on television, raise venture capital and win awards. Now living in the Silicon Valley, Aurora is able to get “inside the heads” of would-be authors, including “eggheads” who have benefitted from her help and gone on to raise millions of dollars and launch start-ups. A sought-after speaker, Aurora has been featured on ABC, CBS and Oprah Radio and in Success and Elle magazines. Her books include Thought Leader Launch: 7 Ways to Make 7 Figures with Your Million-Dollar Message and Turn Words into Wealth: Blueprint for Your Business, Brand, and Book.

In this podcast we talk with men’s leadership coach Karl Lashkari about his three-year journey to recover from a chronic illness and how it taught him the importance of aligning his mind, emotions, nervous system and physical body. Karl transformed his health and his life by discovering his true self. Today he helps men with their personal development to become stronger leaders so they can help create the world they want. Much of his work is done through the Men’s Work network he and his business partner created in Tulum, Mexico. They’re building a band of powerful, emotionally intelligent men who can be successful in business by leading in a different way — a way that inspires their employees to maximize their potential.



So if you want to know:

– Why the old school fear-driven leadership needs to be replaced with inspirational leadership
– How recognizing that leadership is a very human trait will allow others to relax and trust into your leadership
– Why businesses need to prioritize their employees’ mental and physical health to reduce turnover, increase motivation and creativity, and stimulate business growth
– The four steps to becoming a calm, charismatic leader


About Karl Lashkari

After leaving the world of hedge funds and asset management, Karl Lashkari fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a management consultant. Although he was very successful, the constant travel, stress and 70-hour plus work weeks took a toll on his health. When the medical system couldn’t help his chronic fatigue syndrome, he looked for alternatives. Meditation, breath work, “heart coherence” and emotional expression through Men’s Work were instrumental in his recovery. Today Karl facilitates men’s workshops, using what he learned about the need to align his mind, emotions and physical body to help men become purposeful and impact-driven leaders. You can learn more about his workshops and his new leadership intensive, The Leadership Brotherhood, at karllashkari.com

In this podcast we talk with Dan Duckworth, the founder of The Crucible Life, an online leadership community of changemakers. His current mission is to find, liberate, unite and inspire changemakers across every industry, regardless of their job function or authority level.

These people, Dan tells us, believe “I’m supposed to do more.”

The Crucible Life provides a home for people who have the heart of a changemaker. Dan’s message is valuable for the many people we hear from who would like to do more. And it’s vital for those of you who are building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why leadership is much more than transferring knowledge or skills
– About the link between character and culture transformation

In this podcast we talk with Robert Syfert, who has built three successful start-ups from the ground up and sold and managed hundreds of investment properties. When Robert started investing in real estate, he was surprised that it took up so much of his time, taking away from the time he preferred to spend with his family. Using his own experience, he developed tools and online processes to help make real estate investing more efficient. He outlines for us how these tools are designed to solve the biggest problems that salespeople in many industries face. Even if you’re not a real estate investor, you’ll find our discussion useful in terms of practical advice for your marketing and sales efforts.

So if you want to know:

– Why follow-up is so important, the four options available and how to automate your follow-up process
– How list stacking can help you find your ideal prospect
– The truth behind the belief that “all leads suck”
– Why it’s all about relationships — in business and in life
– The basics for building a marketing budget that will deliver a meaningful ROI

In this podcast we talk with Robert Syfert, who has built three successful start-ups from the ground up and sold and managed hundreds of investment properties. When Robert started investing in real estate, he was surprised that it took up so much of his time, taking away from the time he preferred to spend with his family. Using his own experience, he developed tools and online processes to help make real estate investing more efficient. He outlines for us how these tools are designed to solve the biggest problems that salespeople in many industries face. Even if you’re not a real estate investor, you’ll find our discussion useful in terms of practical advice for your marketing and sales efforts.

So if you want to know:

– Why follow-up is so important, the four options available and how to automate your follow-up process
– How list stacking can help you find your ideal prospect
– The truth behind the belief that “all leads suck”
– Why it’s all about relationships — in business and in life
– The basics for building a marketing budget that will deliver a meaningful ROI

In this podcast we talk with author, podcaster and health coach Sid Garza-Hillman who has a fascinating “Small Steps Approach” to long-term habit change. Sid has used this approach successfully with people in all areas, including leadership, productivity and health and wellness. In addition to exploring Sid’s “small steps” philosophy, we hear about his latest book, which he describes as “a philosophy of happiness book.” Six Truths: Live by these Truths and be Happy. Don’t and You Won’t is a straightforward discussion of what it takes to be happy — on the job, at home and in your community. Sid explains how living by these truths can help managers be more effective leaders, help employees have a better mindset as they re-enter the workplace, and even help you eat a better diet without depriving yourself.



So if you want to know:

– Why people need to be equipped to build the right habits
– The important point you won’t read about in most management books
– How to “steal moments” to manage stress and think more clearly
– How to prevent social media from leading to social isolation
– About getting out from under the “should cloud”


About Sid Garza-Hillman

Sid Garza-Hillman became a nutritionist after making a dietary change that eliminated the asthma that had bothered him for 22 years. Today, as an author, podcaster and health coach, he helps people take control of their lives through his unique “Small Steps” philosophy. His approach is the exact opposite of quick fixes, diets and exercise DVDs, focusing on long-term sustainable change and increased self-esteem and confidence. The host of the What Sid Thinks podcast, Sid is the author of Approaching the Natural: A Health Manifesto; Raising Healthy Parents: Small Steps, Less Stress and a Thriving Family; and Six Truths: Live by these Truths and Be Happy. Don’t and You Won’t. He is also the Standford Inn & Resort’s Wellness Program Director, Race Director of the Mendocino Coast 50K trail ultramarathon and the founder of smallsteppers.com

In this podcast we talk with Luke Hyde, the founder of Drive Digital Advertising, an agency that specializes in helping small businesses use online advertising. He also developed the Small Business Digital Road Map, an all-in-one video program that introduces small businesses to social media and helps them get started with online marketing.

Luke understands the challenges small businesses face when they think about online marketing. They may not realize how important it is to be online, and, if they do, there’s never enough time or money to get started and maintain an effective online presence. Luke believes the most important thing for small businesses is to “just get started.” He outlines steps for small businesses to take that will help them use online marketing most effectively.



So if you want to know:

– The two most important things every small business should do to establish a strong online presence
– Why you need to create a “customer avatar”
– The importance of creating content that’s relevant and interesting to potential customers
– How to be consistent with social media posts — and why it’s so important
– Key differences between email and text marketing efforts


About Luke Hyde

Luke Hyde, the founder of Drive Digital Advertising, helps small businesses grow exponentially by teaching them top online marketing strategies — without requiring them to spend a lot of money or time. Most of these businesses have little or no experience with online marketing, and they may have only recently realized the importance of being online. Luke also created Small Business Digital Road Map, an all-in-one, concise video program designed for businesses that don’t have the budget to hire a marketing team. With videos of five to 15 minutes in length, this program helps small business owners learn exactly what they need to know to get online. Program participants also get access to an exclusive Facebook community where they can ask questions and exchange ideas with other small business owners. More information about this program is available at https://lukehyde.com

In this podcast we talk with marketer Tim Keen, co-founder of Loop Club, a digital marketing agency that has grown 10X in the last two quarters. Loop Club works with successful e-commerce brands that have found traction online but don’t have the internal resources to scale a growth marketing operation. Tim’s agency identifies clients’ key metrics and builds processes around driving optimization and growth in those metrics.



Tim talks with us about the approach his agency takes with its clients and the trends he sees in e-commerce in the next five years. He also discusses the agency-client relationship and how his agency looks for “purpose-driven brands.” Our visit with Tim provides valuable insight for any e-commerce business that wants to grow.



So if you want to know:

– About the key metrics you should be paying attention to
– The advantages of using the Shopify platform
– The importance of integrating your content and fulfillment systems
– Why you need to build a community and what it will take
– The need to return to fundamentals, such as your value proposition


About Tim Keen

Tim Keen started his career as a drummer in a touring rock band. He believes this high-stress environment in which his band had to “give value before we get paid” was an ideal background for digital marketing, which he began working in just three years ago. He co-founded the digital marketing agency Loop Club and, in the last year, 90 percent of their clients have increased their revenue by at least 100 percent. Loop Club works with high-growth e-commerce brands whose values the agency can get behind. The agency is also deeply committed to diversity and inclusion within their own organization. You can contact Tim and learn more about his agency through LinkedIn.

In this podcast David Friedman — award-winning CEO, entrepreneur and author — talks with us about the importance of building cultures. David believes that, as a leader, if you don’t take control of your corporate culture, it will be created for you by the strongest personalities within your organization. In our discussion, he provides tips on how you can be intentional about culture and introduces us to the process his CultureWiseTM system uses to simplify the experience for you and employees at all levels of your company.

David explains how to implement the culture you want by defining it clearly and introducing “rituals” to implement the needed behavior changes in a structured, systematic way. He’s convinced that most employees want to do great work, but they may not understand fully what that entails and may not have the internal discipline needed to lead to success.

So if you want to know:

– How culture has an enormous influence over how employees do what they do
– Why the CEO has to be the chief culture officer, too
– What prevents leaders from being intentional about workplace culture
– Why it’s easier to coach someone about their behaviors than their values
– Why rituals are so important in the rollout and maintenance of your desired work culture
– Practical ways to measure the implementation of a cultural change


About David Friedman

David Friedman is a CEO, entrepreneur, author and renowned public speaker. As CEO of an employee benefits consulting company, he grew the business from a few people to more than 100 employees because of the culture the company had built. After he sold that company, he wrote his first book, Fundamentally Different, based on the insights he learned by intentionally building the right culture at his former company. He followed that up with his second book, Culture by Design, a “how-to” manual for building a high-performance culture. His current company, High Performing Culture, has helped hundreds of companies throughout North America implement his culture operating system, CultureWise. More information about David and his company is available at his website, CultureWise.com

In this podcast Darin Dawson, co-founder and CEO of BombBomb, introduces us to his company’s software that makes it easy for users to create and send out simple videos to current customers, prospects, employees or just about anyone you want to build a relationship with. As a salesperson, Darin learned the value of one-on-one meetings but wanted to, in his words, “scale myself.” The result was BombBomb, a human-centered communication platform that allows users to leverage their best asset — themselves — to create value for prospects and customers. The software is also being used successfully by CEOs and managers to stay in touch with their teams, a necessity with so many employees still working remotely.



BombBomb also supports Darin’s business partner in his work in Africa to “re-humanize the planet” by recognizing that every person deserves to be seen, heard and understood. Darin’s message and the work of BombBomb will be of interest to anyone looking for a new way to differentiate yourself from the competition, an example of how a business can make a real impact and a lesson on how you can do something purposeful with your life.



So if you want to know:

How video emails can show your prospects what it’s like to work with your company
When, in your customer lifecycle, videos can be most effective
The importance of identifying your ideal customer
The key to hiring the right people for your business
What “rehumanizing your business” can mean for your customers and you
About Darin Dawson

The co-founder and president of BombBomb, Darin Dawson describes his organization as an “impact company that sells software.” The software enables users to deliver simple, effective, personal video messages. But the company’s mission is much broader than that as Darin and his business partners work to “re-humanize the planet.” That includes supporting the work of one partner in Africa as well as offering a free BombBomb account to nonprofit organizations who work to eliminate poverty, homelessness and other dehumanizing aspects of life. You can learn more at bombbomb.com where you’ll also find information about the company’s book, Rehumanize Your Business: How Personal Videos Accelerate Sales and Improve Customer Experience.

In this podcast we talk with lead generation expert, coach and real estate entrepreneur Chris Arnold. Our discussion touches on all of those areas of expertise as we explore how Chris successfully uses radio to generate motivated real estate seller leads … and The Multipliers Mastermind, which Chris created to help the nation’s top real estate investors overcome the isolation of entrepreneurship. Chris has the kind of lifestyle many of us as dream of, as he manages his various businesses from his dream home in Tulum, Mexico.

He explains why he believes radio is the best lead generation medium if you want to reach real estate sellers. “I call it the marketing channel that everyone knows about but nobody’s using.” Our discussion also includes his real passion: The Multipliers Mastermind/Brotherhood, which he believes offers the clarity entrepreneurs can’t get on their own. Chris believes that, for most of us, middle age is the time in which we’ve done the “success thing” and want to fulfill our unique contribution to society. His message will resonate with anyone who wants to make a significant contribution as they build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why radio is the ideal marketing channel to reach the demographic that’s most likely to be selling real estate
– The biggest problem entrepreneurs face
– How men crave brotherhood but just don’t know what it looks like
– Why, as an entrepreneur, you need other people around you with similar core values who have your back

About Chris Arnold

Chris Arnold is the co-founder of COSA Investments, one of the largest wholesale real estate companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. He is also the founder of Arnold Elite Realty, a cutting-edge boutique brokerage with a team of seasoned agents. His passion for coaching and mentoring entrepreneurs led to the creation of The Multipliers Mastermind, a program/brotherhood for the top real estate investors in the nation. Most recently Chris launched his REI Radio coaching program to teach real estate investors the marketing stream that everyone knows but nobody is doing.

In this podcast we talk with real estate broker Natasha Carroll whose boutique real estate firm offers personalized service for buyers and sellers in the greater Houston area. Natasha developed her unique philosophy about real estate as a result of a bad experience she had early on when she started investing in real estate. She quickly learned that she needed to learn real estate for herself so that she wouldn’t be at the mercy of an agent or a lender. Today she takes a highly personalized approach — whether she’s helping a buyer find the right home, helping sellers get the right price for their home or working with investors. Because Natasha believes “it’s about the relationship,” she gets to know each of her client’s needs so that she is better able to help them recognize what they want and, more importantly, get what they really need.

So if you want to know:

– What questions to ask before you hire a real estate agent
– Why your agent shouldn’t start by asking your price range
– How real estate trends have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
– The biggest mistakes buyers, sellers and investors can make
– The importance of working with a real estate agent who keeps you informed every step of the way


About Natasha Carroll

The owner of Natasha Carroll Realty, Natasha Carroll started in real estate as an investor. After a bad start — in which she lost money on her first investment property — she got her real estate license, determined to help other buyers, sellers and investors make the right decisions. Natasha believes in the importance of getting to know her clients, their families and their needs. She enjoys meeting different people and understanding their journey — how they came to be who they are and where they’re headed in life — because she believes your home should be an extension of your journey. Natasha is a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) and a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS). You can reach her at her website, https://www.natashacarrollrealty.com

In this podcast we talk with Christina Lenkowski, a publicity strategist who specializes in helping her clients become guests on podcasts. Christina explains what an important role “earned media” — like being a podcast guest — can play in your overall marketing approach. It’s an important part of the “marketing pie,” as Christina describes it. The other two parts — paid media (ads) and owned media (your own podcasts, social media channels, e-newsletters) — are important, but guest spots on someone else’s podcast can position you as an industry expert and create the trust you need to sell your products or services.

Christina talks about how to pitch yourself as a podcast guest and how to use your guest appearance most effectively. “The beauty of podcasts is you get to share your personality, and that’s what people really gravitate towards,” Christina tells us. She also has practical advice for those who get nervous about the thought of a podcast appearance, acknowledging that your own mindset can be your biggest obstacle to overcome.



So if you want to know:

Why it all comes down to the pitch
How to construct your pitch — even how long it should be
How to determine what podcasts your ideal customers are listening to
The importance of putting “service over self-promotion” during your guest appearance
Tips on your “call to action”


About Christina Lenkowski

Christina Lenkowski is a forward-thinking publicity strategist and educator for entrepreneurs, speakers and authors who want to expand their credibility and become the “go-to-expert” in their industries through guest appearances on other people’s podcasts. During her 13 years of PR agency and consulting work, Christina has helped clients earn spots in print publications like Martha Stewart Living, Sunset and Reader’s Digest and online coverage in MSN.com, TravelChannel.com and others. She has been a guest on many podcasts and has helped her clients get booked on many top-rated shows. More information about Christina is available at her website, publicityxchristina.com

In this podcast we talk with Jonathan Raymond, CEO of Refound, which offers leadership training and consulting to businesses looking to grow, build a high-performing culture and reach ambitious objectives — by blending personal and professional growth. Jonathan explores with us the need to have transparent, honest conversations if you want your managers to become better leaders who think about the future of your business … and your employees to become better people as they work to help you build a more profitable, more sustainable business.

As employees become “increasingly unwilling to tolerate a disconnect between the company that they work for and what they want to see out in the world,” Jonathan believes we’ll see employees demand that the company’s values align with their own. To that end, he talks with us about tools he uses to have difficult conversations with managers and employees.

So if you want to know:

– Why you can’t just say that you’re a “people first business”
– How meeting people “where they are” leads to a collaborative, productive conversation
– About the danger of managers who are “too much in the weeds day to day”
– The importance of admitting what you’re bad at
– How to start and manage a difficult conversation


About Jonathan Raymond

Jonathan Raymond is an author and the CEO of Refound, a leadership training company that helps organizations unlock high-performance through transparent conversations about growth and accountability. Jonathan spent 20 years building careers in business development and personal growth before realizing that he could combine his “professional self and personal self” by starting his own company. Now he uses those skills to advise CEOs on how to make work a better place and create a culture that drives results — one conversation at a time. He is the author of Good Authority, How to Become the Leader Your Team is Waiting For. Our podcast listeners can learn more about Jonathan’s company, his book and his “Accountability Dial” at refound.com/buildingmylegacy

In this podcast we talk with Oscar and Kiya Frazier, a husband and wife team who have found a way to work together successfully in their own business. They share with us how they became a “couple-preneur,” how they lost nearly everything and how they were able to rebuild a thriving business with two very different facets. Their nDemand Consulting business, which specializes in global crisis management and business efficiency, has a division called KO Thought Leaders. This division helps couples in business develop structure and strategies that nurture the balance between business and home.

Even if you’re not part of a “couple-preneur,” you’ll find our discussion with Oscar and Kiya helpful if you’re ready to do something different in your career … leaving the corporate world and looking at the next chapter of your life … or thinking about the legacy you want to leave.

So if you want to know:

How an introspective analysis can help you overcome the things that have held you back and help you more forward successfully
Why “defining lanes” is so important for couple entrepreneurs
The importance of setting micro goals and looking at the “90-day runway”
How there’s no such thing as “perfect timing”
How to keep a work-life balance when you’re an entrepreneur — or a couple working together


About Oscar and Kiya Frazier

Oscar and Kiya Frazier were still in corporate life — Oscar in project management, Kiya in marketing — when they started nDemand Consulting. But when, within a few months of their wedding they both lost their jobs, they decided to do the “entrepreneurial thing” full time and, as Oscar puts it, “have not looked back.” Today nDemand Consulting brings ideas into reality, shapes brands to be instantly recognizable and takes concepts from ideation to launch. A division of their company — KO Thought Leaders — advises couple-preneurs on topics such as building a stress-management plan, trust and respect boundaries, optimizing your combined efforts, avoiding communication breakdowns and the art of unplugging. To contact the Fraziers, text the word “business” to 678-672-1444 for links to more information, including their book, Confessions: The Truth About Perfect Timing.

Building My Legacy

In this podcast we talk with Charley Mann, the president and lead coach of Great Legal Marketing, which helps law firm owners build high-income, self-managed practices. Our discussion is valuable for any business owners who want to know why their business can’t grow. Charley’s “health check” offers a unique way to look at revenue per employee and how this figure can tell you if you have the right number of employees to deliver a profit now and to allow for growth.

Charley also introduces us to his “mastermind groups” in which attorneys come together to share their collective wisdom and provide a level of accountability that group participants may not have on their own. These groups emphasize Charley’s belief that business growth can’t just be about marketing, operations, finance or hiring. “It’s all of that stuff put together that makes the real impact.”


So if you want to know:

– How to use a quick “health check” on your business
– The natural barriers to growth for legal practices and other entrepreneurial businesses
– The key to moving from a “family business” to a corporation
– Why you need to “trust the process” if you want to grow
– The difference between a coach and a consultant and what you should look for in each


About Charley Mann

Charley Mann got into legal marketing in a roundabout way. A theater major in college, he started to work for Ben Glass, the founder of Great Legal Marketing, and developed the necessary skills to help law firms market themselves successfully. Today, as the president and lead coach of Great Legal Marketing, he shows law firm owners how to move a six-figure firm to seven figures and turn a seven-figure firm into a self-sustaining financial asset that can provide the ultimate financial and personal freedom. Charley has a select group of private clients, runs “mastermind groups” and develops leading courses and training for ambitious and entrepreneurial law firm owners. More information about Charley and his marketing firm is available at the company website, www.greatlegalmarketing.com

In this podcast, we talk with Rilus Dana, a probate and estate attorney who founded Maat Legal Practice Management. Named for the Egyptian goddess of law and order, Maat Legal helps attorneys empower their clients with modern digital asset planning. Rilus believes that many law firms are not leveraging technology to ensure their practice fits the way people live today. He introduces us to “digital asset acts,” which have been passed in many states and which are designed to recognize the importance of addressing access to information stored electronically as part of estate planning.

Rilus takes a methodical approach to digital asset planning so that his clients’ heirs are able to access critical information they’ll need or want without encountering problems along the way. It’s a fascinating discussion about a topic many estate planners may not be familiar with and an important part of planning as you build your legacy.



So if you want to know:

– The importance of updating estate planning for today’s digital age
– How to figure out what digital assets you really have
– Why just leaving a password may not work after you’re gone
– How to evaluate the “legacy” options some social media platforms offer
– Best tips for overall estate planning


About Rilus Dana

A probate and estate attorney, Rilus Dana is a digital asset planning expert. He founded Maat Legal Practice Management to update the estate planning process and address the fact that information is now being sent and stored online. Attorneys who are members of Maat Legal have access to the Digital Asset Trust and modern estate planning process that will help them adapt their legal practices to a more modern business model. Rilus is also a coach for attorneys who are looking for ways to streamline the business side of their practice.

In a recent podcast Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer talked about their company, Shopanova, a modern growth buying agency for eCommerce shops and the advantages of “live selling” as part of online marketing. As informative as that discussion was, their backstory was so fascinating that we invited Daniel and Robby to talk with us again and share more about their entrepreneurial journey. Just six years ago they were making a good living in the commercial fishing business, but events — including the loss of a boat that put Daniel $50,000 in debt — made them realize this wasn’t the life they wanted. Their experience, which includes a great deal of uncertainty and a number of challenging setbacks, illustrates what you can do if you have determination and perseverance.

As so many individuals and businesses have struggled during the last year, you, too, may be wondering where to go next. Daniel and Robby realized that, to have the lives they wanted, they needed a mindset shift. Their inspirational story provides important lessons for all of us.



So if you want to know:

– How following the career model set for you isn’t always the best idea
– Why making money actually starts with your mindset
– How setting limits on the length of your workday can help you work more efficiently
– The importance of thriving professionally and personally — for you and your employees
– Why learning from experience is the slowest way to learn — and how a mentor can help you avoid this


About Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer

Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer, the founders of Shopanova, are both from a small town in Alaska where they worked in commercial fishing. When Daniel survived his boat capsizing, he realized there had to be a safer way to make money. He teamed up with Robby — who would eventually become his brother-in-law — and decided to try something completely different: a video production company. In determining what additional value they could bring to their customers, Daniel and Robby figured out how to use a marketing asset and run a paid ad strategy. Today, as a service provider for eCommerce brands, Shopanova has been able to grow its clients’ revenues from five figures all the way to seven figures and beyond.

In this podcast we talk with Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer, the founders of Shopanova, a modern growth buying agency for eCommerce shops. Their journey is fascinating as we learn how they moved from commercial fishing in Alaska to starting a video production company, which evolved into an eCommerce growth agency.

Daniel and Robby prove that dreams can come true if you break outside of your current limitations and change your beliefs. They learned that the people they looked up to — the people who are doing great things — are just people. They have their own stories and are learning their own lessons. Daniel and Robby realized that, by building the skills they needed, they, too, could succeed. And, in their words, they became “the most unlikely success story.” Their agency has generated more than a hundred million dollars for their clients, taking one client from $10,000 in monthly revenue to a million dollars. Daniel and Robby’s story about trying to make a difference in people’s lives will be of interest to anyone building or growing a business or building their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How “live selling” on Facebook Live can be effective for online and brick and mortar businesses
– Why it all comes down to providing value in a way that’s relevant to people right now
– The importance of connecting with people through authenticity
– How to determine what you should spend on eCommerce marketing
– The two most important metrics for online marketing

In this podcast we talk with Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer, the founders of Shopanova, a modern growth buying agency for eCommerce shops. Their journey is fascinating as we learn how they moved from commercial fishing in Alaska to starting a video production company, which evolved into an eCommerce growth agency.

Daniel and Robby prove that dreams can come true if you break outside of your current limitations and change your beliefs. They learned that the people they looked up to — the people who are doing great things — are just people. They have their own stories and are learning their own lessons. Daniel and Robby realized that, by building the skills they needed, they, too, could succeed. And, in their words, they became “the most unlikely success story.” Their agency has generated more than a hundred million dollars for their clients, taking one client from $10,000 in monthly revenue to a million dollars. Daniel and Robby’s story about trying to make a difference in people’s lives will be of interest to anyone building or growing a business or building their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How “live selling” on Facebook Live can be effective for online and brick and mortar businesses
– Why it all comes down to providing value in a way that’s relevant to people right now
– The importance of connecting with people through authenticity
– How to determine what you should spend on eCommerce marketing
– The two most important metrics for online marketing


About Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer

Daniel Stafford and Robby Switzer, the founders of Shopanova, are both from a small town in Alaska where they worked in commercial fishing. When Daniel survived his boat capsizing, he realized there had to be a safer way to make money. He teamed up with Robby — who would eventually become his brother-in-law — and decided to try something completely different: a video production company. In determining what additional value they could bring to their customers, Daniel and Robby figured out how to use a marketing asset and run a paid ad strategy. Today, as a service provider for eCommerce brands, Shopanova has been able to grow its clients’ revenues from five figures all the way to seven figures and beyond.

In this podcast, we talk with Emmy-Award winning camera operator Howie Zales who turned his passion for television broadcasting into several entrepreneurial efforts. His current company, Viridity Entertainment Services, initially focused on staffing in non-union markets, but, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, pivoted to offer broadcast-quality live streaming.

Howie shares with us his entrepreneurial journey, including what he learned as being part of sports history at several Olympic Games. He also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at live streaming, recent changes in this industry and what he sees for the future.

So if you want to know:

– How the COVID-19 pandemic showed how affordable live streaming can be

– How businesses are using live streaming today

– The lead time for a live streaming project — from beginning to execution

– What’s happening with jobs in sports television streaming


About Howie Zales

Howie Zales fell in love with television sports after taking a TV production class in the eleventh grade. His career included working with NBC Sports, the XFL and World Wrestling Entertainment. In 2000, Howie created HJZ Productions, Inc. to address the need for professional-level sports crewing/staffing in the New York market. In 2019, Howie and his team founded Viridity Entertainment Services, Inc., which today offers best-in-class, broadcast-quality livestreams of professional sports shows and interviews, corporate interviews and meetings and religious services. As a way to give back to the industry, Howie developed the TV Sports Course, a hands-on training boot camp for the next generation of television crew professionals. You can find Howie at LinkedIn, on Instagram and on YouTube. More information about his companies is available at the company websites, www.hjzproductions.com and www.viridityentertainment.com

In this podcast, we talk with Martin Saenz, a thought leader in the mortgage note investment industry. If you’re not familiar with how mortgage notes can provide reliable cash flow — according to Martin, an 8 percent yield — while helping homeowners who are in default stay in their homes, you’ll find our discussion extremely informative. Martin talks about how he discovered mortgage notes when he no longer wanted to work up to 100 hours a week at his own business. He explains how this niche industry can deliver dependable cash flow to someone who’s accredited and has as little as $50,000 to invest. The information Martin has to share is valuable for business owners, entrepreneurs and those of you looking toward that next chapter of your life, which may involve starting a not-for-profit or giving back to your community.

So if you want to know:

– About a company that makes money while fulfilling its mission: to avoid foreclosure and keep families in their homes
– How the mortgage note investment industry works
– How the secondary mortgage market is affected by an economic downturn
– Why you should have a “living financial statement”
– Why you need assets that provide cash flow that you have control over


About Martin Saenz

Martin Saenz, a managing partner of Bequest Funds, co-founded this company with the dual purpose of helping investors grow their wealth while helping mortgage borrowers stay in their homes. A successful entrepreneur and real estate investor for more than 15 years, Martin brings social good into smart investing. He is the author of several books on note investing: Note Investing Made Easier, Real Estate Note Investing Mentorship, Note Investing Fundamentals and Cashflow Dojo. Martin has directly helped more than 1,000 families stay in their homes and countless more through the influence of his mentorship.

In this podcast, we talk with George Copeland, the CEO of Laborem Edge, a digital marketing agency that works primarily with companies offering home services — such as landscapers, home remodelers and pool installers — and law firms. George’s introduction to digital marketing came when he was forced to learn how to build a website because the company he hired didn’t meet the deadline. This experience also taught him that, to win and keep business, he had to lead with integrity. George cautions against working with agencies that “promise the world” because it all “starts with transparency and knowledge.” George’s message is relevant whether you’re developing or refining your digital marketing strategy or building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How a Google tool can show you which marketing efforts are working and which are not
– About “word of mouth” advertising and concerns you should have about its relationship to social media
– Why starting a digital marketing campaign is a lot like starting a business
– How to know if you’re really ready for digital marketing
– How to use the free Google My Business service


About George Copeland

The CEO of Laborem Edge, George Copeland is an expert at generating clients for contractors through his proven marketing system. His business is based on integrity, transparency and trust and has grown because George learned everything about his niche market, got to know his clients and invested his heart and soul in his company.

At his website, www.laboremedge.com, you’ll find his blog, which includes several articles on how to use the free Google My Business tool most effectively. Topics include a Google My Business 101, How to Claim Your Google My Business Listing and How to Prevent Your Competitors from Stealing Your Leads on Google.

There’s also a survey at the bottom of the home page to see if you’d be a good fit to work with Laborem Edge.

Tim shares with us his own journey from operating a wholesale distribution company to residential real estate to his current business, Rialto Marketing, which helps service businesses simplify marketing so they can grow with less stress. If your current marketing efforts aren’t delivering the results you need — or you’re not sure how to get started marketing a new business — our discussion with Tim is a great place to start.

In this podcast, we talk with insurance broker David Duford, the founder and CEO of DavidDuford.com, a virtual insurance agency helping new and experienced agents become top producers. David shares with us information about a topic none of like to discuss: “final expense” or burial insurance.

He has identified a specific target market for this product — average Americans who have worked hard their entire lives, may have even planned for their retirement, but haven’t been able to protect their spouse or children against the funeral expenses they’ll eventually face. If you have hourly workers in this situation, David has an option that allows you to offer a “value-added” benefit to them at no cost to you. As we all face the need to manage salary and benefit costs yet still attract employees, David’s message is valuable for owners of businesses of all sizes.

So if you want to know:

– Why employer-provided group life insurance typically doesn’t help retirees
– How Simplified Issue Insurance policies can help workers planning for retirement
– How a Voluntary Payroll Deduct Plan can be an affordable option for employees — at no cost to employers
– Who shouldn’t consider final expense insurance
– The best time to arrange for any kind of insurance — particularly life insurance


About David Duford

David Duford who owns DavidDuford.com, a virtual insurance agency, has written three best-selling insurance sales and marketing books: The Official Guide to Selling Insurance for New Agents, The Official Guide to Selling Final Expense Insurance and Interviews with Top Producing Insurance Agents. David is also a YouTube Influencer in insurance sales with more than 18,000 subscribers and more than 1.5 million total views. More information about David and how he works with new and experienced agents nationally to help them become top producers is available at www.DavidDuford.com

In this podcast, we talk with Katerina Rothman, the founder of Beflax Linen, which manufacturers and markets 100 percent pure linen bedding. Katerina shares with us her journey from Moscow to Denver where she built a business that represents everything she believes in: sustainability, nature and female legacy.

She talks about her most significant challenges, including production and quality control as well as her decision to “do the right thing” about packaging — even though her products’ sustainable and recyclable packaging costs a little more. We also learn about the history of linen and its many advantages, particularly for getting a better night’s sleep. Katerina’s story is fascinating for anyone who is building — or thinking about starting — a business that keeps you in touch with your true passions, skills and knowledge.

So if you want to know:

– How one company came into existence as a result of a generational legacy
– How it is possible to fulfill your mission
– About building an environmentally sustainable business
– The challenges new businesses face
– Why linen has always been considered a luxury fabric

About Katerina Rothman

Katerina Rothman is the founder of Beflex Linen, a textile company that produces pure linen home goods. She was inspired to work with fabrics by her mother who has always been interested in sewing and knitting and who worked with a variety of textiles. When Katerina’s husband was having trouble sleeping, she looked for solutions and discovered the amazing benefits of linen. After the birth of her first daughter, Katerina wanted to spend more time with her than her nine-to-five job allowed. So she decided to follow her dream of running a linen business. Today she is “building a linen empire one thread at a time.” You can find out more about her business and its products at the company website, www.beflaxlinen.com. And to make your shopping experience a little easier, Katerina is offering Building My Legacy listeners a 15 percent discount when you use the code “My Legacy” on her website.

In this podcast, we talk with intuitive leadership coach and attorney Waynette Hollis who moved on from a career in corporate law to leadership coaching. She works primarily with entrepreneurs, visionaries and dreamers who are “well accomplished on paper” but looking for something that provides greater fulfillment. Waynette shares with us her own mindset journey that led to her current career. She also talks with us about the process she uses to help people overcome limiting beliefs and “change the channel” from negative thoughts to positive energy.

Waynette reminds leaders of the importance of mastering self-leadership first. Only by learning to lead yourself will you be able to lead your team more confidently and effectively. Her message will also resonate with anyone who doesn’t find fulfillment in their current work situation and is ready to “take the leap of faith” to pursue a more rewarding career.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of identifying your true values — or at least priority preferences
– How “timeline therapy” can help you deal with limiting beliefs
– How, even if you can’t control your initial thoughts, you can control those you keep
– Why “leading yourself” is the first step to more effective leadership
– Why the best leaders plan for the future — and who can take their place


About Waynette Hollis

As a corporate attorney, Waynette Hollis worked with private companies as well as financial services and telecommunications regulatory bodies. When she didn’t experience fulfillment in this career, she took her natural ability to coach people and turned it into a new career as an intuitive leadership coach, educated advisor and trusted counsel. Today she uses her experience in the legal world to dissect complex information and unpack established mindsets, behaviors and thought patterns as a way of supporting mindful leadership and strategic direction. Her “LeadHership” program helps corporate women and female entrepreneurs attain their professional goals. Waynette can be reached at www.waynettemichelledenise.com and, as a certified mindset coach, is also profiled on the website, https://mindsetcoachacademy.com/directories/waynette-hollis/

Like most leaders, you’re probably driven and goal-focused. That’s important to move your career and your business forward. But it also takes a toll on your body. In fact, long hours — particularly when you’re hunched over a computer — can affect not only your back but also your oxygen level, which in turn triggers stress, impacting your ability to think clearly and even how you interact with your co-workers.

In this podcast, we talk with personal trainer and yoga instructor Megan Nolan about simple steps you can take now to maintain and improve your health. Megan also talks about how she was able to differentiate her yoga studio from the many other yoga teachers in Maui by emphasizing health in the workplace and customizing programs to the specific needs of her corporate clients. Her messages are important for leaders concerned about their own health and future as well as the health, engagement and productivity of their teams. And it’s a critical message for you if you want to enjoy retirement and your legacy … because you want to take your health with you.

So if you want to know:

Why your body “complains” when you sit for extended periods of time
About the ROI of self-care at work
What weight-bearing really exercise is — and how yoga can play a role
Why, if exercise isn’t fun, you shouldn’t do it
How to make time for self-care at work


About Megan Nolan

Megan Nolan, the owner of Vitality Wellness Maui, has 16 years’ experience as a personal trainer and yoga instructor. Her mission is to help female entrepreneurs around the world embody their most resilient, confident and powerful selves. She works with a variety of local corporate clients on Maui, offering customized programs to help their employees improve their focus, creativity and productivity. Megan has also created a wide selection of online programs to make yoga fun and accessible for people everywhere. Try it for yourself! Megan offers a free 10-minute “Yoga at My Desk” break, designed to ease neck and shoulder tension, at https://bit.ly/deskyogabreak

In this podcast, we talk with career coach Mandy Tucker who works with executives in the workplace — especially women — who want to move up the leadership ladder. She also mentors university students and graduates, helping shape their careers. Mandy believes that for too long it has been extremely difficult for women — especially women of color — to move upwards. She also thinks that too many people don’t recognize the opportunities available to them and fail to identify their passions. Mandy shares with us how she helps people set goals and map out a future — even if it involves balancing a nine-to-five job with the dream of entrepreneurship.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of knowing where to position yourself
– Why you shouldn’t feel pressured to take a position that doesn’t fit your values or your passions
– How to map your career path — and the importance of doing so
– Why you should congratulate yourself on the “small wins”
– The four elements of a great career
– How fear can help you strive


About Mandy Tucker

Mandy Tucker is director of an IT department for Hertz in the United Kingdom. While keeping that nine-to-five job, she has been able to establish a coaching career that specializes in helping people in mid-level careers get the right tactics and approach to excel in their chosen field. She believes that we all need guidance, direction or just some “cheering from the sidelines” to help us map a clear path to success. Whether you want to be CEO or an industry expert, Mandy is ready to help you plan and achieve your career pathway. From her website, www.mandytuckercoaching.com, you can download a helpful career-mapping tool and her guide to improving your career, increasing your network and getting better known in your industry, “How to Get Visible with LinkedIn.”

This podcast is a bit different as we learn about a vocational school in southern Texas that’s training its students to become welders — a career much in demand today. Our guests are Eliud Medina, the director of the Southern Industrial Careers Center (SICC), and Lily Maldonado, the school’s public relations officer and an admissions representative. The story of SICC is truly inspiring, particularly for those of you thinking about the next chapter of your life. Eliud and his all-female staff have discovered a unique way to make a contribution to their community and to build their legacy.



Lily shares with us what it’s like to be part of a traditionally male-dominated industry. We also learn about SICC students — recent high school graduates from an economically challenged background, older students looking to make a career change and even former prison inmates. The goal is to help these students move into a career where they can make a good living for themselves and their families. As Eliud and Lily tell us, the challenges can be great, but they experience tremendous joy when their students get good-paying jobs that promise a secure future.



So if you want to know:

– The benefits of giving people a chance — or a second chance
– The value a female team can bring to a male-dominated industry
– The importance of motivation and providing a look at the big picture
– Why leaders need to give people an environment where they can discover their talents and step up


About Eliud Medina and Lily Maldonado

Trained as a welder, Eliud Medina held various positions in management until he lost his job in the 2014 recession. He used that experience to found Southern Industrial Careers Center (SICC), a vocational school dedicated to teaching industrial trades in welding and fabrication. Lily Maldonado joined SICC’s all-female staff with no knowledge of welding, but with a desire to help people, especially those in low socioeconomic communities.



SICC has succeeded by helping its students at every stage — from obtaining financial assistance for their education to partnering with employers who can receive funding for on-the-job training. As Eliud points out, there is a tremendous demand for welders — not only for pipeline work and other heavy construction. In fact, 60 percent of everyday household products require some sort of welding. More information about SICC, its programs and partnership opportunities is available at www.southernindustrialcenter.com

In this podcast we talk with Jon Schram, founder and CEO of The Purple Guys, an IT services company that provides IT solutions and support for small businesses. Jon calls himself “an unintentional serial entrepreneur” who understands that the entrepreneurial journey “often feels like a roller coaster.” He talks with us about the special technology challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has created for small businesses, including the need for added communication and security awareness.



Jon also shares with us his own experience as an entrepreneur, how his company was able to adapt so they could meet the needs of clients whose employees are now working remotely, and how he keeps himself, his staff and his company focused on their goals. We also learn how his company — The Purple Guys — got its name!



So if you want to know:

– Why you cannot over-communicate when there is uncertainty
– About the need to focus on the things you can actually control
– How to adapt your work processes when exceptions occur
– The basics of IT security for remote workers
– The importance of keeping everyone connected when employees aren’t in the office


About Jon Schram

IT support expert Jon Schram is the founder and CEO of The Purple Guys, a tech company that has grown since 2001 to become the Midwest’s premier provider of IT support services. The Purple Guys is Jon’s third start-up company, and he has always been focused on the services industry. He thinks of The Purple Guys as a “service company that happens to deal with technology” and attributes the company’s success to focusing on the person sitting behind the keyboard as opposed to the keyboard itself. His company works primarily with small businesses with the goal of making it easy for their employees to use the technology they own. The company’s book How to Select an IT Service Provider is available on Amazon. More information about the company is available on its website, www.purpleguys.com where small businesses can also find their blog with free helpful information on IT support and security.

Why it has become more difficult to reach folks through social media
All about marketing audits: Why? How? How often? And by whom?

In this podcast we talk with mediator and executive coach Thilan Legierse about how her work as an attorney with the United Nations prepared her to help teams that are in conflict and to coach leaders to become more effective in the workplace. Thilan’s background is truly fascinating since it involves negotiating with world leaders in war zones and areas in which immense suffering resulted because the countries’ leaders violated their citizens’ human rights.

In our discussion, Thilan compares war zones with workplaces that dehumanize people because everyone isn’t treated equally. As a result, employees are afraid to speak up and become very resentful. Thilan explains how her practical process exposes the real pain points and helps turn around dysfunctional organizations while assisting leaders to become the good role models they were meant to be — a valuable message for leaders at all levels.

So if you want to know:

– How the most successful attorneys try to be collaborative rather than just fight battles
– What to do when employees take “work cover”
– Why that grudge you’re keeping is really holding you hostage
– How and why to get out of the victim mode
– The importance of finding out what’s underneath the conflict


About Thilan Legierse

Thilan Legierse has been an accredited mediator since 2011. In that role she has helped resolve hundreds of workplace, team and organizational conflicts across private, public and not-for-profit organizations. As part of this process, she facilitates the development of leaders and staff by building coaching and conflict resolution skills.

A native of the Netherlands, Thilan worked for the United Nations for 12 years as an attorney and mediator. She currently works with organizations and teams in South Australia and provides private coaching in person and online to leaders all over the world. Thilan is the author of Dealing with Conflict at Work (available on Amazon), and the Easy-Peasy Difficult Conversation Formula, which can be downloaded from her website, www.thilanlegierse.com. Her latest online program, “Hardwired for Leadership,” targets experienced leaders and is also available on her website.

In this podcast, we talk with Air Force veteran and serial entrepreneur Jay Jackson. The founder and CEO of Serve, Impact & Prosper, Jay shares his story of joining the military at age 19 to escape a neighborhood of drugs and violence. He also relates how his 20 years of leadership and organizational development experience has prepared him to transform the trajectory of business owners and their companies.

When Jay found himself struggling to promote his online business but was able to figure it out, he realized that he was in an excellent position to help other coaches attract their ideal clients. Today he helps coaches, consultants and thought leaders create systems to attract quality leads and convert them into premium clients. Jay is most successful with action takers — people who want to get results. That’s why our discussion will be especially valuable for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders and anyone who is looking to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why you can’t really “manage time,” but you can schedule your priorities
– The importance of getting clarity around who you are so you can “show up as your best self”
– How growth and development requires the need to believe in yourself, know that your message matters to someone and just keep going
– What a transformed life looks like
– Why we’re all on a journey, each of us at a different mile marker on life’s highway


About Jay Jackson

Jay Jackson, an Air Force Veteran, is the founder and CEO of Serve, Impact & Prosper, a professional training and coaching agency that helps service-based business owners become better leaders, develop effective marketing strategies and increase their sales. Jay’s military experience taught him to master the art and science of consistently producing impactful results. The author of two books, Jay teaches businesses how to operate with military precision to create higher profits. He believes that by demonstrating servant leadership we can transform the world through business and achieve Jay’s personal goal of “transforming one billion lives.”

In this podcast, we hear about the latest challenge of Zack Boothe, an expert real estate investor and coach: Turning $1,000 into $40,000 — or more — in just 40 days. Zack left a successful window washing business to pursue his dream of real estate investing. After some initial setbacks he found a good coach and within two years made just under a half million dollars. He shares with us the story of his journey and how he eventually began teaching others how to make money in real estate wholesaling.

You’ll hear about a typical day for Zack in which he spends most of the morning cold calling and the middle of his day driving around neighborhoods looking for “the ugly house on the block.” Using an app called “Deal Machine,” he’s able to quickly get all the information he needs to contact each owner, work these deals and keep the leads coming in. Zack is passionate about sharing how easy it is to be successful once you implement a system that consistently produces discounted properties. Zack’s message of “going for your dreams” will resonate with entrepreneurs and anyone ready to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

The importance of giving away what you want to receive
How to build relationships with cash buyers and investors
Why it’s a mistake to try to figure out real estate investing on your own
Why it’s not always the smartest person who’s the most successful


About Zack Boothe

Zack Boothe was a window cleaner just a few years ago. Within a few years of leaving his successful window cleaning business, he was making more than a million dollars a year from real estate investing. Now Zack has his own team and spends much of his time helping others get started in the competitive game of real estate. Learn more about Zack and his coaching services at his website, dfdmastery.com. The “dfd” stands for “driving for dollars.” You can also follow Zack on social media and watch the progress of his 40-day challenge of turning $1,000 into $40,000 in 40 days.

In this podcast, life success coach Alex Dumas shares with us his experiences in corporate sales and eventually creating his own coaching business. We learn how he uses these experiences to help people who are starting businesses of their own. Alex believes the key to taking the leap to start a new business — as well as surviving challenges in your business and personal life — is your own identity. You need a mindset that believes you can do it because, as Alex explains, “We won’t get more out of life and out of our businesses than we believe we deserve.”

Alex helps people not be weighed down by the “impostor syndrome or feeling like a fraud.” His discussion holds lessons for all of us — particularly entrepreneurs and those looking at their next steps and building their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How confidence is just a result of doing what you’re supposed to do
– Why you have to have a big enough vision
– The importance of looking at where you’ve had success – before
– Why you should incorporate fun into what you do
– Why entrepreneurs in a “go-go” mode sometimes need to go “slow, slow, slow”

About Alex Dumas

Alex Dumas is a business and lifestyle coach who, with his wife Sarah, founded Abundance Daily Coaching, which focuses on helping entrepreneurs embrace imposter syndrome and get to the heart of their true identity to create thriving businesses. The Co-Chair of the Racial Equality Coalition for people of color in North Carolina, Alex is also a founding member of “The Kaleo Project,” which is designed to support people of color who are coaches and entrepreneurs to amplify their message and voice in the world.

In this podcast, we talk with Dr. Stan Harris — or, as he’s known, Dr. Breakthrough. With a fascinating background that includes a PhD in theology and a 10th degree black belt, Dr. Stan talks with us about his childhood experience of having to protect himself and feeling that nobody cared. Thanks to mentors and a mother who believed in him, he was able to have the all-important breakthroughs that enabled him to start on a most successful lifetime journey.

Dr. Stan emphasizes that a change in mindset is needed if you really want to achieve your goals. His motivational talks, books and breakthrough programs help empower people to break through any barrier that is hindering their success. That’s so important whether you’re an entrepreneur, leader or would-be leader — particularly if you’re in the process of building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why so many people have good ideas, but talk themselves out of them
– How what you put into your head affects your heart and what comes to your hand
– What H-O-P-E can stand for
– Why success begins with your state of mind
– How lies are the foundation of limiting beliefs
– The key role mentors can play in your life


About Dr. Stan Harris

Dr. Stan Harris — who has earned the name “Dr. Breakthrough” — has traveled more than three million miles, speaking to crowds in all 50 states and 28 countries and sharing the stage with renowned motivational speakers, including Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Bill Bailey, Les Brown and Willie Jolley. He has a doctorate in ministry and is also one of fewer than 100 people in the world who have earned the 10th degree black belt in Isshin’ryu karate. He uses these skills to demonstrate how anyone can break through the barriers that try to hinder their success. Dr. Stan has been inducted into both the Black Belt Hall of Fame as well as the Motivational Speakers Hall of Fame. More information on Dr. Stan and his 21-Day Breakthrough Challenge is available at www.DrBreakThrough.com

In this podcast, we talk with mindset coach and consultant Karen Calder whose 30-year career includes a vice presidential position with a Fortune One company where she headed training and development, leadership and change. When Karen realized this wasn’t the life she wanted — or the legacy she wanted to leave — she started her own coaching and consulting business. Her decision to become an entrepreneur and the obstacles she overcame in her journey reveal a resilience that we all need — especially in today’s uncertain economic environment.

Karen shares with us her secret for resilience — a message that’s valuable for struggling entrepreneurs, corporate executives who want to support their employees and anyone who wonders how to prepare for the next chapter in their life as they build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How to “work backwards” to achieve your desired outcome
– Why you should ask yourself, “What brings you joy?”
– How to create a positive mindset — even within a large corporation
– Why simple shifts in your thinking can help you identify and overcome the roadblocks to success and happiness
– What companies will gain when they build their human resources for creativity


About Karen Calder

Karen Calder is the Founder and CEO of Karen Calder Coaching & Consulting, a company centered on change and how our mind shapes the path to success. She has helped organizations transform their cultures, implement talent solutions and develop high-performing leaders and teams. After a successful career that included executive positions at several Fortune 500 companies, Karen faced burnout and a career setback, which propelled her to delve into the power of mindset and habits that support or limit our success. Her mission today is to help organizations, teams and individuals understand that authentic and sustainable change is possible by systematically breaking through the mental blocks that hold us back from realizing our full potential. She can be reached on her website, www.karen-calder.com

In this podcast, we talk with mindset coach and consultant Karen Calder whose 30-year career includes a vice presidential position with a Fortune One company where she headed training and development, leadership and change. When Karen realized this wasn’t the life she wanted — or the legacy she wanted to leave — she started her own coaching and consulting business. Her decision to become an entrepreneur and the obstacles she overcame in her journey reveal a resilience that we all need — especially in today’s uncertain economic environment.

Karen shares with us her secret for resilience — a message that’s valuable for struggling entrepreneurs, corporate executives who want to support their employees and anyone who wonders how to prepare for the next chapter in their life as they build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How to “work backwards” to achieve your desired outcome
– Why you should ask yourself, “What brings you joy?”
– How to create a positive mindset — even within a large corporation
– Why simple shifts in your thinking can help you identify and overcome the roadblocks to success and happiness
– What companies will gain when they build their human resources for creativity


About Karen Calder

Karen Calder is the Founder and CEO of Karen Calder Coaching & Consulting, a company centered on change and how our mind shapes the path to success. She has helped organizations transform their cultures, implement talent solutions and develop high-performing leaders and teams. After a successful career that included executive positions at several Fortune 500 companies, Karen faced burnout and a career setback, which propelled her to delve into the power of mindset and habits that support or limit our success. Her mission today is to help organizations, teams and individuals understand that authentic and sustainable change is possible by systematically breaking through the mental blocks that hold us back from realizing our full potential. She can be reached on her website, www.karen-calder.com

In this podcast we talk with Adrian Tobey, the founder and CEO of Groundhogg, an organization that helps small businesses launch their sales funnel, grow their email list and scale their business with proven digital marketing tools and strategies. Adrian got his start in digital marketing working for his parents’ digital marketing agency where he saw that small businesses needed more than the website, sales funnels and campaigns he provided them. They needed an overall solution that encompassed the whole process of digital marketing.

That’s when Adrian developed a WordPress plugin that automatically integrates your website, your CRM and marketing automation, your email, your list and your reports. He talks with us about how this solution removes many of the obstacles small businesses face with digital marketing so the entire process becomes easier and much more effective. Adrian provides an important message for all entrepreneurs and small business owners as you launch or grow your business and build your legacy.



So if you want to know:

– Why a comprehensive digital marketing solution just makes sense
– The pitfalls of CRM and marketing automation contracts that charge you based on your success
– The importance of getting more control over your information
– Why you need to be persistent and consistent


About Adrian Tobey

Adrian Tobey, the founder and lead developer of Groundhogg, believes that marketing automation should be simple and accessible so any business can use it to grow. He created Groundhogg, a WordPress plug-in, to help small businesses create funnels, email campaigns, marketing automation funnels and have a CRM all within your WordPress website and without charging you more as your business grows. He is also the owner of FormLift.net and co-founder of MailHawk, two more tools that fill out a growing portfolio of software products aimed at making customer communications that much easier. Adrian can be reached at his website, www.groundhogg.io, and is also on LinkedIn.

In this podcast we talk with Rich Kasparian, the founder of Garden City Financial Group Inc., which works with individuals, families and businesses to plan, manage and pursue their financial goals with confidence. Rich has built his career on trying to find ways to protect his clients’ downsides if things should ever turn ugly — which they do. His firm also offers insurance planning, business succession planning, long-term care, retirement and assistance with many other aspects of planning.

Rich talks with us about the most important things people should think about as they prepare for retirement, some of the biggest mistakes people make in terms of investing and, most significantly, the importance of using programs that can really protect you against the downside. You’ll get valuable, practical information that you can put to work no matter where you are in your retirement planning or in building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why diversification is good in theory but rarely happens in practice
– About the importance of regularly reviewing your total financial situation
– The questions to ask when you’re looking for a financial advisor
– Why your financial advisor should have a comprehensive look at your total financial plan
– How to determine how much life insurance you need

About Rich Kasparian

Rich Kasparian founded Garden City Financial Group Inc. in 2009 because he knew there was a need for sound, personalized and objective advice in the confusing world of financial planning that sometimes seems to lack common sense. Before then, he worked as a tenured Financial Advisor at Citi Smith Barney and was also responsible for hosting numerous financial seminars for Citibank employees as well as outside corporations. Passionate about helping business owners and other individuals protect their investments to ensure a happy and less worrisome retirement, Rich can be reached at his website, www.gardencityfinancialgroup.com. He also has a YouTube channel, Garden City Financial Group.

In this podcast, we talk with Dr. Martha Saunders, president of the University of West Florida, about the need for innovation in education to prepare college graduates to fill the jobs of the future. Dr. Saunders shares with us how the University of Florida, by being the most agile of the Florida state universities, has been recognized as one of the country’s best colleges to work for, has become a model for their student offerings and, in her words, is “the university of the next big thing.” By leveraging regional resources and listening — to staff members, students and people on the outside — Dr. Saunders and her team have developed innovative programs that have been recognized across the country.

Dr. Saunders explains that the University is focused on “a strong handoff” to the next level of their graduates’ lives. Innovation like this is a requirement if we are to build the workforce of tomorrow — the employees who will help your organization succeed in the future.

So if you want to know:

– The real value of a college degree
– How a “frontier spirit” can empower employees to make decisions
– Why professional development should be more than conferences and meetings
– Where you should look for ideas — even if they’re “pie in the sky”
– Why inclusion matters


About Dr. Martha Saunders

The sixth president of the University of West Florida, Dr. Martha Saunders has more than 30 years’ experience in higher education, having served in academic and leadership roles at universities in Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin and Mississippi. Her area of academic expertise is in public relations and crisis communication for which she has won numerous awards, including two Public Relations Society of America’s coveted Silver Anvils. As an entrepreneurial leader, Dr. Saunders is passionate about creating innovative solutions to deal with the dynamic challenges facing higher education. As a change maker, she drives action behind these solutions to propel higher education into the future.

In this podcast we talk with business strategy coach Laura Hurubaru, the founder of the “From Scratch to Cash FAST 1×1” Coaching and Mentoring Program. Through this program, Laura helps corporate women — who don’t feel fulfilled in their current job — start over by developing their own business. Using one-on-one coaching and mentoring, she shows would-be entrepreneurs how to go from start-up to a point where they actually have a cash flow.

Laura believes in the power of authenticity. Too many women, she tells us, “lose themselves” in the corporate world “because they’re trying to be what somebody tells them to be.” By starting your own business — and building it around you — you can discover who you really are. This is a powerful message — not only for women who want to jump from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world, but for anyone who is looking to build their legacy.



So if you want to know:

– Why entrepreneurship requires a completely different mindset
– The importance of building a realistic roadmap and putting things in perspective
– How to get results while learning
– The role of a coach in helping you achieve your goals
– About joining communities that share your interests and passions


About Laura Hurubaru

Laura Hurubaru is the founder of the “From Scratch to Cash FAST 1×1” Coaching and Mentoring Program, a unique system that helps women who’ve found success in the corporate world launch profitable online businesses. Her journey to becoming a successful business strategy coach was long and difficult, but it shaped her into the woman she is today. Laura left home at the age of 16 because of an abusive alcoholic father, put herself through college and became a software developer. Although she liked the problem-solving aspect of her job, she needed something more and started her own coaching business. Today she helps the many women who recognize that they’ll only be happy by building a business around who they truly are. You can learn more about Laura’s story and company on her website, www.laurahurubaru.com

In this podcast we talk with business strategy coach Laura Hurubaru, the founder of the “From Scratch to Cash FAST 1×1” Coaching and Mentoring Program. Through this program, Laura helps corporate women — who don’t feel fulfilled in their current job — start over by developing their own business. Using one-on-one coaching and mentoring, she shows would-be entrepreneurs how to go from start-up to a point where they actually have a cash flow.

Laura believes in the power of authenticity. Too many women, she tells us, “lose themselves” in the corporate world “because they’re trying to be what somebody tells them to be.” By starting your own business — and building it around you — you can discover who you really are. This is a powerful message — not only for women who want to jump from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world, but for anyone who is looking to build their legacy.



So if you want to know:

– Why entrepreneurship requires a completely different mindset
– The importance of building a realistic roadmap and putting things in perspective
– How to get results while learning
– The role of a coach in helping you achieve your goals
– About joining communities that share your interests and passions


About Laura Hurubaru

Laura Hurubaru is the founder of the “From Scratch to Cash FAST 1×1” Coaching and Mentoring Program, a unique system that helps women who’ve found success in the corporate world launch profitable online businesses. Her journey to becoming a successful business strategy coach was long and difficult, but it shaped her into the woman she is today. Laura left home at the age of 16 because of an abusive alcoholic father, put herself through college and became a software developer. Although she liked the problem-solving aspect of her job, she needed something more and started her own coaching business. Today she helps the many women who recognize that they’ll only be happy by building a business around who they truly are. You can learn more about Laura’s story and company on her website, www.laurahurubaru.com

In this podcast we talk with digital marketing and SEO specialist Ken Knorr. He’s the founder of That! Company, a “white label” company that has worked with more than 400 agencies — under each agency’s brand — to introduce, expand or improve digital marketing for their clients. Because of the role That! Company plays, Ken has significant insights into how companies can pivot and the importance of collaborating — internally and externally.

A serial entrepreneur, Ken has been in digital marketing since the rise of Google, and he’s been able to pivot several times to react to changes in the marketplace. In terms of collaboration, Ken believes that when you bring people from different backgrounds together, you find out that one plus one equals three or more. His message — particularly the fascinating “Exercise of the Sevens” — is vital for entrepreneurs, leaders in any industry and anyone looking to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why you need to “check your ego at the door” if you want to take advantage of market opportunities
– How to know when it’s time to make a pivot
– When to look away from the dashboard — and all the KPIs — and look up to the windshield to see where you’re going
– What it takes to create a collaborative team
– Why you should plan by democracy but execute by dictatorship


About Ken Knorr

Ken Knorr is the CEO and founder of the white label digital marketing company “That! Company.” With more than 400 agency partners, That! Company has become the most widely trusted name in white label services, including high-quality SEO, pay-per-click, social media and reputation management — all under each agency’s own brand. A leader who believes that one plus one equals three or more, Ken supports unvarnished conversations in which everyone contributes their ideas because the best solutions are created by the team.

In this podcast we talk with sales and marketing strategist Kitty Kalman, the owner of High-Converting Funnels, about lifecycle marketing. Also known as customer lifetime value, this describes the lifecycle of a customer — from the point when you first grab the customer’s attention to when they drop off your sales process. Kitty explains how you need to nurture all of those clients because, after spending money to get customers, you want to keep them through the whole life cycle of your system.

In our discussion, Kitty emphasizes the importance of the “backend” of the marketing system. Too often companies put so much emphasis on generating traffic to their website, they forget about what is being delivered and how. That’s where the backend starts. And it’s critical that all of your backend systems — CRM, membership, payment — are integrated. This is the only way you can utilize segmentation to place customers in the right category for appropriate follow-up. You’ll find our discussion with Kitty is informative for anyone who wants to see real value in their marketing efforts.



So if you want to know:

– The biggest challenges companies face when they want to grow
– The most important part of optimizing your funnels
– The problem with chasing after the “new shiny object”
– How marketing is about the customer, not about you
– The importance of building relationships with your customers


About Kitty Kalman

Kitty Kalman is a sales and marketing strategist and the owner of High-Converting Funnels, which helps companies grow to their fullest potential. She has worked with Fortune 100 CEOs and CFOs in a wide range of industries — from banks to mining companies, pharmaceutical companies to car manufacturers, restaurant chains to construction companies, retailers to consulting companies. She is passionate about business success because she knows that, when a business thrives, it creates financial freedom for its owners and investors and a safe income stream for its employees.

In this podcast we talk with Expressive Meditation coach Pragito Dove who works with a wide range of clients, many of whom are entrepreneurs. The meditation techniques Pragito uses are all designed to release physical stress, which in turn releases mental stress and ultimately emotional stress. When leaders do this, they develop a warmer, kinder, more compassionate energy. They also learn to accept themselves, so they can more easily accept others.

As a business owner herself, Pragito understands that, to help a business expand, the owner needs to expand, too. You can’t keep the same narrow way of thinking or old beliefs because you have to “roll with what’s happening.” This last year has been a great example of the need to pivot and come up with new creative ideas. The right meditation technique can help you be fully in the present rather than worrying about the past or the future. And, as a result, you can have a more open heart, a more open mind and become much more creative.

So if you want to know:

What meditation is and what it isn’t
How easy it can be to incorporate meditation into your workday
Ways to cope no matter how chaotic things get
Why listening to yourself first is necessary if you want to be able to listen to others
What creates stress and how it reduces your productivity


About Pragito Dove

Pragito Dove is a global authority on Expressive Meditation and the founder of the number one Expressive Meditation training school in North America. An internationally recognized author, hypnotherapist, coach and speaker with more than 20 years’ experience, Pragito helps entrepreneurs, leaders and CEOs align their mindset to allow more peace, time and financial freedom. Her newest book, Lunchtime Enlightenment: Expressive Meditations for Manifesting Peace, Prosperity and Passion, is an Amazon bestseller. You can learn more about the book and Pragito at her website, www.discovermeditation.com

In this podcast we talk with certified leadership coach Michelle Bernard who works with women in leadership, particularly those who want to use their international experience in business. Michelle has been interested in different cultures from a very young age and did an academic internship in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, when she was in college. She talks about the challenges of ex-pats and how she can help them navigate through the different stages of “culture shock” they may face adjusting to a new country.

If you’re living as an ex-pat or want to know more about the ex-pat world, our discussion with Michelle can help you make decisions about what’s next in your life.

So if you want to know:

– How to thrive in another culture in the midst of experiencing frustrations and missing home
– How the biggest challenges for ex-pats can be life’s basic daily interactions
– The importance of being a humble learner when living abroad
– How ex-pats should look at their experience to gain the most from it


About Michelle Bernard

Michelle Bernard began to travel and go on service trips across the world in high school and lived in Cambodia for an academic internship in college. There she discovered that she wanted to help other service-minded women return home and clearly communicate their experiences from serving abroad. A leadership coach certified through the Co-Active Training Institute and the International Coaching Federation, she founded Olive Brand Coaching & Consulting. This coaching business helps women process their international experiences, translate them into lasting personal growth, and integrate their learning into leadership to help serve and impact their communities. To make it easier for ex-pats to share their experiences most effectively when returning home, she created a roadmap, “The Leader’s Roadmap to Lasting Impact: How to Clearly Communicate Your International Experiences in 5 Easy Steps.” If you’ve lived or even travelled abroad, this free guide can help you decide which stories you should share with family and friends to help them connect with your experience. It’s available on Michelle’s website, www.olivebranchcandc.com

In this podcast we talk with coach and internationally recognized trauma expert Janine Wirth who works with people who have experienced trauma and need to put it behind them. We’re all familiar with PTSD that affects war veterans and other conditions that can result after serious traumas such as abuse, but Janine also helps people who have faced what she calls “little T traumas” — bullying, being made to feel you’re not good enough, having emotionally unavailable parents. These things can affect the way we think about ourselves and lead to “secondary symptoms,” like eating disorders, fear of success, even procrastination. Janine helps people identify little traumas and then, using her coaching skills, gives them the tools to improve the quality of their life.

Whether you need to deal with any kind of trauma in your life … work with people who have experienced trauma … or are building your legacy and thinking about the things you want to leave behind … you’ll find our discussion with Janine enlightening and practical.



So if you want to know:

– Why years of therapy aren’t required for a successful outcome
– The importance of using your subconscious mind to identify emotions you haven’t processed properly
– About clinical hypnotherapy and the role it can play in trauma recovery
– The biggest challenge people have in letting go of the past and moving on
– Cues that it may be time to seek help

In this podcast we talk with coach and internationally recognized trauma expert Janine Wirth who works with people who have experienced trauma and need to put it behind them. We’re all familiar with PTSD that affects war veterans and other conditions that can result after serious traumas such as abuse, but Janine also helps people who have faced what she calls “little T traumas” — bullying, being made to feel you’re not good enough, having emotionally unavailable parents. These things can affect the way we think about ourselves and lead to “secondary symptoms,” like eating disorders, fear of success, even procrastination. Janine helps people identify little traumas and then, using her coaching skills, gives them the tools to improve the quality of their life.

Whether you need to deal with any kind of trauma in your life … work with people who have experienced trauma … or are building your legacy and thinking about the things you want to leave behind … you’ll find our discussion with Janine enlightening and practical.



So if you want to know:

– Why years of therapy aren’t required for a successful outcome
– The importance of using your subconscious mind to identify emotions you haven’t processed properly
– About clinical hypnotherapy and the role it can play in trauma recovery
– The biggest challenge people have in letting go of the past and moving on
– Cues that it may be time to seek help

In this podcast we talk with marketing leader Nate Turner, the co-founder of Ten Speed, a tech-enabled content optimization company focused on helping companies get more results from the content they already have on their site. Nate talks with us about some of the biggest mistakes he sees companies make and how, with the correct structure, they can write or modify content to improve their organic traffic and conversions.

If you’ve seen a decline in organic traffic to your website or if your site seems to have hit a plateau, you’ll find our discussion with Nate extremely helpful. He emphasizes the importance of understanding your audience and topics that will interest them so that you generate good, relevant search traffic and ultimately reduce your conversion costs.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of having a holistic content and blog strategy
– Why you can’t just measure the effectiveness of your content by how much revenue it generates
– About the need to balance short-term revenue and long-term growth
– Why you need to take both external and internal competition into account – when structuring content
– Why you need to make time now to focus on SEO


About Nate Turner

Nate Turner was the first marketer at Sprout Social where he built and scaled the inbound engine, helping the company grow from $0 to $100 million in revenue in just 10 years. He then moved into consulting with SaaS companies, which provided him with many different perspectives on marketing and content. Nate is the co-founder of Ten Speed, which helps companies get more results from their website content. Passionate about working with marketing and sales leaders to solve hard problems and scale revenue growth, Nate works primarily with early to mid-stage growth companies.

In this podcast we talk with leadership coach Jennifer McCanna who provides one-on-one and group coaching to companies. Her clients include international organizations where she faces the challenges of bringing together people with culturally different backgrounds. Jennifer believes in allowing employees to play to their strengths within a structure that recognizes organizational values and the corporate culture. In this way, employees will feel empowered to deliver their best work.

She also believes that an effective learning environment takes people to a creative space. That’s why reading and PowerPoint presentations don’t provide a full learning experience. “Learning is having a go at something, seeing what works … seeing what we learned, reflecting … a really creative cycle,” Jennifer explains. All of this becomes more important as employers struggle with how to deliver training and development programs to employees working remotely or in a hybrid model.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of creating a learning space where people feel confident
– How building strong relationships can eliminate the need for “courageous conversations”
– Why “blended learning” is the only way to appeal to various learning styles
– About the new importance of adding an extra layer of check-ins with our teams
– How thinking about what people aren’t expecting can be the key to engaging employees in training


About Jennifer McCanna

Jennifer McCanna is an experienced leadership coach working with ambitious managers to build their confidence, skills and resilience so they can lead high-performing teams, navigate work relationships with ease and deliver amazing results. She came from a musical family, started playing the cello at an early age and sees many parallels between having a creative outlet and coaching. A professional leadership coach with the International Coaching Federation, Jennifer delivers workshops, webinars and management development programs for organizations with employees based all over the world. She is passionate about supporting clients with practical resources and enjoys creating fun, focused and creative learning environments — even over Zoom! You can reach Jennifer at www.mccannacoaching.co.uk and on Instagram and LinkedIn.

In this podcast we talk with coach, author and corporate speaker Lillian Ogbogoh who has helped many women master self-confidence, specifically by eliminating the seven habits that rob them of power. Lillian believes that each of us can be the person who holds ourselves back the most — before someone else can hold us back. “You have to learn to talk about you like you would your best friend,” she explains, noting that women have been taught we’re not supposed to brag. “If you are not celebrating you, who would?” Lillian asks.

Lillian is passionate about women stepping up to their power and “showing up.” She shares with us her own story of overcoming her fear of speaking in public and how NLP — neuro-linguistic programming — helped her overcome this fear and become a certified NLP practitioner herself. Her message will resonate with women who want to move up but fear that they’re just not good enough as well as anyone who needs additional motivation to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

Why you need to talk about failure — not just about success
How fear can rob you of being rational and keep you “stuck”
How trying to be “Wonder Woman” prevents you from learning from others
The importance of having a “bounce-back ability”
Why you need a life team — and who should be on it


About Lillian Ogbogoh

Lillian Ogbogoh is a passionate champion for women to step up and own their own power. A certified NLP practitioner and hypnotherapist, she has spoken internationally at women’s conferences on self-mastery, confidence and stepping into leadership. She is also the host of the “Shine Out Loud” podcast and a co-author of Success in Heels, a compilation book of 30 leading female authors. Her newest e-book, The 7 Habits That Rob Us of Our Power, focuses on the habits that stop women from owning their power and making an impact in their business or career. You can contact Lillian at her website, www.Lillianogbogoh.com

In this podcast we talk again with Sean Campbell, founder and CEO of Cascade Insights, who helps professional services firms improve their marketing efforts so they can continue to grow. Sean believes that, particularly in today’s economy, too many professional services firms are tempted to broaden what they do. He argues they should be doing the opposite: concentrate on what you do best and “grow in the lane that you’re in.”

Sean has had success with his own company in spite of the challenges of the COVID pandemic. In fact, they’ve seen more leads this past year than ever before. He attributes that to effective Internet marketing. This is especially important today when most traditional marketing efforts — events, conferences, speaking engagements and even in-person sales meetings — are no longer available. Sean’s message is essential for professional services firms that aren’t devoting the time they should to marketing. And it’s also helpful for any business that is looking for innovative and cost-effective ways to generate leads.

So if you want to know:

– Why marketing is so hard for professional service firm leaders
– How “pay-per-click” can be more effective than lots of content
– Why your marketing efforts shouldn’t concentrate on social media
– The important role your sales team can play in your marketing efforts
– Why a healthy power balance is the key to successful collaboration


About Sean Campbell

Sean Campbell is the founder and CEO of Cascade Insights, a competitive intelligence and market research firm for B2B technology companies. He has been training, mentoring and educating all his life, and his professional services work includes consulting engagements with Fortune 50 companies as well as start-ups where he helps with these firms’ delivery, sales, marketing and operational practices. He is also a well-regarded conference speaker and author and has delivered talks for Fortune 50 companies and at top-tier conferences. His most recent book is the sixth edition of Going Beyond Google. He hosts the popular “B2B Revealed” podcast, now with more than 100 episodes on methodology, B2B tech and interviews with thought leaders.

2074building my legacy,lois sonstegard phdfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-117-sahar-habib-on-the-advantages-of-bite-sized-coaching-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--43862301
In this podcast, we talk with leadership educator and executive coach Sahar Habib who developed what she calls “bite-sized coaching.” Our discussion today explores Sahar’s belief that often people just need a quick boost of confidence or knowledge that can come from an ad hoc conversation with the right coach or mentor. She provides that through her company, Coach Wilson, which offers an online learning platform to leaders and aspiring leaders. We also explore the importance for organizations to have a balance between a “people focus” and a “business focus.” Our topic is especially timely today as we face the need for remote leadership as well as other challenges the pandemic has created.

So if you want to know:

– How bite-sized coaching and long-term training programs can go hand in hand
– How a support system for your leadership team can transition experts into leaders
– About the value of combining the strengths of an old-school leader and a millennial leader
– What our future leaders will look like
– The biggest mistake organizations can make — and how the pandemic has served as a wake-up call for all of us


About Sahar Habib

Sahar Habib left school at the age of 16 to run her own styling studio where she subcontracted hair stylists, make-up artists and photographers for different projects. After four years, she moved on, trying different industries and roles, until she found her true passion — leadership. Sahar founded Coach Wilson, an online solution platform for leaders, aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs, named for her manager who was always ready with the support she needed to face immediate challenges. Her goal is to replicate the five- or ten-minute conversations with her manager that she found so helpful. Coach Wilson does this through bite-sized coaching videos and short blogs as well as long-term solutions through training programs/webinars. Sahar can be found at www.coach-wilson.com and on Instagram.

In this podcast, we talk with Steven Glaze, vice president of sales for Smart Exteriors, an exterior home remodeling company in Kansas City. Steven is also an expert at building a business from the ground up, promoting that business online and helping it grow.

Steven talks about how he moved from buying leads to generating his own qualified leads by building an excellent online reputation. He has a lot to share with anyone who’s starting or growing a business or wondering about changing their business model. Our discussion is also helpful if you’re thinking about the next chapter in your life as you build your legacy. And, for you homeowners, there’s a quick education on home siding!

So if you want to know:

– How to pivot when a business model is no longer working
– The process needed to build a solid online reputation
– Why an online presence has become even more important with the pandemic
– How creating a process for each position leads to better hires and less turnover
– The importance of documenting your success to present yourself as an expert in your field


About Steven Glaze

Steven Glaze grew up in the roofing business, helping his father generate leads, estimate projects and manage crews while he was still in his teens. When that company, with its emphasis on storm damage restoration, ran into too many competitors following the 2008 drop in the new housing market, Steven realized he needed a different business model. He started Smart Exteriors, offering siding, roofing, replacement windows and gutter protection. Steven positioned the company as a local business and came to recognize the power of the Internet to establish credibility, generate leads and ultimately grow the business. His realization that content creates value for potential customers led him to write the book, Exterior Siding in Kansas City. It’s available on Amazon and can also be downloaded from Steven’s website, www.smartextpros.com

In this podcast, we talk with Jennie Capati who started as an image consultant but quickly realized that her clients needed more than style coaching. What they were really looking for was a change of mindset to build the confidence they lacked. Today, as a certified confidence coach, she helps women achieve their personal and professional goals. In our discussion with Jennie, we learn the most important challenges people face as they deal with both style and confidence and how, through self-discovery, we can get “comfortable within our own skin.” It’s an important lesson for all of us, particularly for women who are starting their own businesses, in a management role at a large company or trying to cope with new responsibilities at work and at home.

So if you want to know:

– The role your image plays in building your confidence
– How a style make-over can lead to an easier lifestyle
– The importance of self-loving and having time for yourself
– Why it’s okay to ask for help
– How holistic coaching can help with things you can’t control


About Jennie Capati

Jennie Capati is a confidence success coach who helps her clients develop a transformational mindset and the confidence to achieve their personal and professional goals. After working for 15 years — her “Zombie years,” as she calls them — at a very unsatisfying job, Jennie went back to school to become a certified image consultant. When her style sessions turned into confidence coaching, she became a certified confidence coach. Today she uses what she learned about developing a positive mindset to help others follow their dreams. She truly believes that everyone deserves a happy, joyful and successful life.

In this podcast, we talk with sales coach Corey Berrier who has helped organizations develop their sales teams and improve their sales efforts. As Corey explains, “Everything that we do is sales” … from talking your children into eating their vegetables to selling your company’s products and services. Corey addresses the biggest challenges in sales, the importance of asking the right questions and the need to build rapport with your prospect. He explains, “You don’t want to be interesting, you want to be interested” … in your prospect’s situation and how you can meet their needs. Remember, the prospect wants to know “What’s in it for me?”

Whether you’re responsible for increasing sales for your company, you’re an individual selling online or you’re a leader moving on to build your legacy, it’s all about sales. And Corey’s message will help you overcome the objections you’ll face along the way.

So if you want to know:

– About the need to build value before providing the price
– How to overcome the most common fear in sales — rejection
– The biggest mistake salespeople make
– The three parts to building rapport with a prospect
– What children can teach us about sales


About Corey Berrier

Corey Berrier is a master sales trainer and coach whose company, The Sales CEO, works with businesses that are struggling to make sales. He started in business coaching in 2015 when one of his training clients, who owned a small plumbing company, asked if would talk with the company’s sales team. In less than three months — with Corey’s help in the areas of communication and strategy — the team was able to better understand their clients’ needs and began hitting their sales goals. Since then, he has worked with organizations of all sizes to help them get their business where they want it to be. He has been especially effective with small and medium-size businesses with a sales force, such as those in the HVAC and plumbing industries, like his first client. Look for Corey on Instagram and at his website, coreyberrier.com, where you can also listen to him on “The Successful Life Podcast.”

In this podcast, we talk with Jeff Heggie, a former professional rodeo cowboy who uses this background and his extensive experience in banking and as an entrepreneur to help others achieve their biggest dreams. What happens in the 3.4 seconds when a steer wrestler faces a 700-pound steer head on? Jeff’s description will have you on the edge of your seat. Although very few of us would even consider steer wrestling, Jeff equates this experience to the importance of not letting fear intimidate you.

Describing fear as “something in the future that’s not real,” Jeff explains the process he used to overcome his initial fear in the rodeo ring and how it can also help entrepreneurs build and grow a business. He takes a unique look at achieving goals and the importance of reflecting on achievements as well as failures to see what they can teach you going forward.

So if you want to know:

– Why you should find something every day that takes you out of your comfort zone
– How, when we put things off, the more difficult they become
– The importance of breaking challenges into pieces and taking them one step at a time
– Why you need to put yourself in the position of doing it rather than watching it
– How a “mindset journal” can help you change the negative conversations in your head

In this podcast, we talk with executive life coach Gabrielle Matthews who believes the path to success lies right inside you — in your passion. She works primarily with young professional women to help them find their purpose: Why do they do what they do? As she explains, Gabrielle starts with mindset to see what you think about yourself. She then moves to the heart to ensure that your brain and your heart are aligned so that it’s easier to achieve success.

Gabrielle takes us through her “butterfly transformation” in which her clients move from the caterpillar stage — figuring out who they are and who they want to be … to the chrysalis phase where they determine how to use their talents to build a business and positively impact their community … to the final adult butterfly stage, which allows you to begin to experience your dreams. It’s a unique process and one that will be of interest to young professionals or anyone who is building their legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why life is more than your achievements
– The problem with chasing what you think will make you happy
– How the fear of failure can prevent you from achieving your dreams
– Why your good stories need to become bigger than your bad stories
– The key to making your life great

About Gabrielle Matthews

Gabrielle Matthews is a certified executive coach and public speaker who has stepped into her purpose and is now helping her clients do the same. After taking a Human Development class at Auburn University, she fell in love with “why” and “how” people are the way they are. Through her Icon Coach Studio, she uses her own major life lessons, heart-centered spirituality and leadership skill to help people from all walks of life — especially young professional women. Gabrielle believes that nobody’s life should be less than fulfilling and successful. Every person’s life should be filled with greatness and pride. It’s just a matter of the bold choices you are willing to make for yourself. She can be found on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/missgabriellematthews

In this podcast, we talk with Dr. Justin Hiebert, an executive leadership coach who works with small business owners, entrepreneurs and world changers of all types. By helping his clients remain focused and “get the right things done,” he frees up their schedules so they can leave a legacy of influence and impact. In our discussion with Justin, we learn how, as a pastor, he saw capable leaders leaving the church because of burnout. With the help of a coach, Justin was able to identify the characteristics of a healthy leader in any industry. Today, with the economic uncertainty of the continuing COVID pandemic, small businesses are faced with enormous challenges. Justin works with them to move beyond their suffering to determine where they are now, where they want to be and what it will take to get there. It’s a particularly timely discussion for anyone who worries about burnout as they struggle to keep their businesses open and successful and to build their legacies.

So if you want to know:

– Why burnout occurs and what you can do about it

– The seven practices of a good leader

– The importance of recognizing that you have more control than you give yourself credit for

– How structure and routine can help you create the necessary boundaries between your work and personal life

– A key tip for hiring the right people


About Dr. Justin Hiebert

Dr. Justin Hiebert got started in coaching because he had a coach when he was completing his doctorate in “Ministry and Missional Leadership.” His coach helped him address the problem he had identified that health and burnout issues had caused good leaders to leave the church where he was a pastor. The result was his work on what it means to create healthy leaders and how raising the level of leadership health can make a real difference in our communities. As a SHRM-CP certified HR professional, Justin works with small business owners and entrepreneurs to help them identify clear and meaningful goals, plan for strategic growth, eliminate “overwhelm” and live a fully abundant life. He’s available at his website, justinhiebert.com, and is also on Twitter and Facebook, jhiebertcoaching

In this podcast, we talk with confidence coach Rebecca Haydon who works primarily with female entrepreneurs to help them become visible and confident online. Rebecca’s background is interesting because she left a successful career in show business — having toured with big musicals all over the world — when she realized that she was always “playing someone else.” As she moved to teaching dance and then to blogging, she realized that coaching women for confidence allowed her to use her performing side but also “get to be me.” Our discussion with Rebecca addresses why so many people — especially women — struggle with confidence. She emphasizes to her clients that, although you have the answers inside of you, you should never be afraid to ask for help. Her advice is helpful for all of us whether you’re struggling with today’s uncertain economy, moving into a new phase of your life or building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why your biggest challenge may be thinking “I’m not good enough.”

– The role body confidence plays — especially for women

– How to feel the fear and do it anyway
– The importance of “acting as if” your goal is already happening

About Rebecca Haydon

When Rebecca Haydon left her career in entertainment and became a dance teacher, she felt like a failure. Yet she realized that, in teaching children to dance and eventually choreographing musicals for them, she felt empowered and, for the first time, truly proud of herself. She used what she had learned from her career in entertainment and teaching to discover how she could help others who were struggling with mental health issues. That led her to neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis. Today her successful coaching business helps female entrepreneurs unleash unstoppable confidence. She helps them “show up as the expert” and create more visibility online through video, social media strategy and mindset magic to attract their ideal clients. Her Facebook group is The Female Confidence Club, and she can also be found on Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.

In this podcast — the first of a two-part series with international coach and speaker Natascha Op de Hipt — we get an inside look at Natascha’s “Bliss Method” — a proven process that helps new coaches get clients fast and actually start making money in their first 30 days. Natascha explains how her business, Blissunity, combines her love of coaching with online marketing. She helps her clients realize that there’s no “magic pill” to generate leads and convert them to sales. Rather, as Natascha describes it, “it’s more about what’s already inside you and getting that out.”

Through the four pillars of the Bliss Method, Natascha helps coaches use sales psychology to attract and retain loyal dream clients and, in doing so, have a profound impact on their lives. Although Natascha works primarily with coaches, her approach to sales and using the subconscious mind to get real results can be applied to anyone who sells or wants to make significant changes in their life and achieve their goals.

So if you want to know:

– Why identifying your dream client is about more than demographics
– The need to focus on one big problem and one really good offer
– The psychological trigger factors that get people to stay on your social media page
– How to book more discovery calls
– How your results are always a reflection of what you are on the inside


About Natascha Op de Hipt

An international certified coach and international speaker, Natascha Op de Hipt is is the founder of Blissunity, which helps coaches build a business that makes money and creates freedom and fun. She has worked with coaches from more than seven countries, helping them become fully booked with dream clients by using the power of their subconscious mind and social media. Her unique approach uses a combination of mindset psychology, international business strategies and the laws of the universe to help her clients achieve outstanding results.

Natascha can be reached on her website, www.blissunity.com, on Instagram and in the Facebook group, BlissBuilders.

In this podcast, we talk once again with international coach and speaker Natascha Op de Hipt. Our second discussion with Natascha focuses on “soulful sales” — the fourth part of her “Bliss Method,” which helps new coaches get clients fast and actually start making money in their first 30 days. Soulful sales is all about helping clients make the decision to commit to a future vision.

You’ve probably heard many people talk about the marketing perspective of coaching or any entrepreneurial business but then fall short on the actual sale. If you can’t close the deal, there’s no point in continuing to market. Natascha brings that thought to life as she explores the four pillars of soulful sales: certainty, commitment, compensation and contentment … and how they can help you overcome your prospects’ objections by meeting them “where they’re at.” While Natascha has helped many coaches use this approach to get “fully booked,” you’ll find that her advice can be helpful for anyone in sales or anyone who has made the decision to start your own business and do something you love.

So if you want to know:

– Why you shouldn’t focus on content but rather on booking conversations
– How to help your clients commit to making a decision
– A new way to look at the price point
– Why tactics won’t work if you’re missing the principles
– How to help your clients discover the real “costs of staying safe”

In this podcast, transformational coach and author Nadiya Manji shares with us how she successfully brings together consulting, coaching, healing and wellness. Nadiya sees emotional intelligence as one of the pillars of her transformational programs. Many of her clients feel lost, confused or stuck. They’ve tried everything and see her as their “last stop.” Nadiya provides the help that’s needed by moving people from an intellectual or logical mind to their spiritual mind. She helps them discover their true life purpose — especially when they’re struggling to come back from losses.

Nadiya recognizes that coming back requires courage and understanding “your story.” By learning from your own experiences, you can re-implement them as your comeback strategy — with the help of a good transformational coach. As the COVID pandemic continues to drain our energy, people want to know how to rebuild and find a new vision for themselves in the coming year. This makes our discussion with Nadiya particularly timely.

So if you want to know:

– About a four-step process that can bring you back into life — with courage, faith, clarity and confidence

– How to transform your discomforts and challenges into your strengths, courage and success

– Why a coach can help you think differently and look at all your options

– The importance of using whatever is happening around you as an opportunity to change and move on

About Nadiya Manji

A master transformational coach, Nadiya Manji is the author of Searching for Balance. She wrote this book after a life-threatening accident caused her to feel frozen and disconnected — not unlike what many people feel now as a result of the COVID pandemic. Her book is designed to help people find life, understand their own energy and deal with the challenges we all face today. This is in keeping with her mission to help free people from their emotional baggage and vulnerabilities so they can find balance and create high performance in life and business. Nadiya is also an international and TEDx speaker and a registered clinical hypnotherapist. She has worked with business owners, entrepreneurs and executives to help them build emotional intelligence and resilience in life and business.

In this podcast we talk with Anthony Flynn who lives up to the name of his company, The Amazing CEO. Anthony is, in his words, “a first generation everything” — college graduate, entrepreneur, CEO. An advisor to CEOs, author and sought-after speaker, Anthony also holds a master’s degree in religion. He talks with us about how he has been able to bring together his business endeavors and his core values … or, as he explains, to “live more for purpose and let profit be a byproduct of purpose, not the other way around.”

With more people — especially millennials — hungry for something that combines these two worlds, Anthony’s approach of putting people at the center of his consulting work is something that we can all benefit from today. In his work with professional athletes, Anthony finds a parallel with business executives who, particularly at the end of their career, need to pivot to something entirely different. It’s a valuable discussion for anyone facing changes in their career or starting to build a legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How starting with the “people side” of your business can increase productivity and profitability

– The most significant challenge for high-powered “go-getters”

– Why you should consider diversifying your “productivity filters”

– How to train yourself to embrace change

– The difference between who you are and your capacity to become


About Anthony Flynn

Anthony Flynn overcame a challenging childhood — a background he has learned to embrace — to become a highly sought-after advisor to CEOs, key executives and their companies. He has also been a pioneering executive in several multi-million dollar non-profit ventures and has written two books, The Execution Pipeline: A Step-by-Step Guide to Moving Your Business Idea From Dream to Reality and The Happiness Map: Finding Fulfillment in Life and Work. He formerly served as CEO of The 100 Black Men of Atlanta and has been a featured speaker at Harvard University, Emory University, TEDx and on TV, radio and podcasts.

Anthony has a B.A. in Business Administration in Sales from The University of Memphis where he graduated as the Top Student in his major and an M.A. in Religion from Memphis Theological Seminary where he graduated with honors.

In this podcast, we talk with “The Female Money Doctor” Nikki Ramskill who is laying the foundation for her legacy now while still working full-time at her career. Nikki, an obstetrician/gynecologist who became a family physician, discovered that many of her patients had money issues that impacted their health. Even in the United Kingdom, where health care is free, Nikki saw patients who were unable to work and didn’t have money set aside for an emergency. As a result, they couldn’t take care of their family or even think about planning for the future.



Her solution was to set up the blog, The Female Money Doctor. Today through her blog, a Facebook group for women, and online interaction with individuals, Nikki provides the help needed by many people, particularly women, who are stressed out by money concerns. While, in the past, many of the people who sought her help faced a personal crisis, such as an accident or serious illness, today many more of us have been affected by the COVID pandemic. That makes this the perfect time to learn more about how to prepare yourself financially for a loss or reduction in your income.

So if you want to know:

– How the eight personality types relate to money management

– The importance of carrying on with your plans — even in light of the continuing effects of the COVID pandemic

– How a money coach can help you

– The top things you should think about now with respect to your finances

– Why many women would rather talk about death than money

– Why your children need to learn about money management when they’re young


About Dr. Nikki Ramskill

Dr. Nikki Ramskill, aka “The Female Money Doctor,” has more than 10 years of experience as a doctor and women’s health specialist with Great Britain’s National Health System. After seeing firsthand the impact that poor money management skills had on the mental health of her patients and even her colleagues, she made it her mission to change that … because she believes that we cannot be truly healthy while a money nightmare is going on in the background.



When Nikki decided to become a money coach — in addition to working as a family physician — she became a certified Sacred Money Archetypes coach through the program offered by Kendall Summerhawk, the “money guru for women entrepreneurs.” Nikki’s online programs now help women from all over the world organize their finances and build wealth for the future they truly deserve. You can find her blog at thefemalemoneydoctor.com and email her at info@thefemalemoneydoctor.com

In this podcast we talk with communication coach Stacy Idema about the key role communication plays in impacting culture and team dynamics. Stacy shares with us what she has learned from 26 years of working in the corporate world and now as a coach who helps leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners use their own strengths to connect with people and get the work done.

Our discussion takes on a new relevance as we look at how the COVID pandemic has affected what we’re doing now and how we’re using communication to respond to this crisis. Stacy believes that communication has always required empathy but now it’s more important than ever. She encourages leaders to empathize with their employees and, equally important, really listen to what their people have to say. Both of these are vital for your business to be able to move forward and accomplish your goals … and for you as you begin to think about how you want to be remembered, that is, your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of “creating space” to process what’s going on now with your business and your personal life

– Why it may not be best to ask employees if they need “help”

– When and how to be brutal and honest

– About the “SPEAK” method and how it can provide a framework for effective communication

– Tips for new leaders

– How thinking about the ideal experience may be the first step toward accomplishing your goals and building your legacy


About Stacy Idema

Stacy Idema is a communication coach who helps leaders, executives, entrepreneurs and business owners change the way they communicate so they can positively impact their business culture and team dynamics.

The daughter of a small business owner, Stacy saw firsthand the impact that running a business and leading teams can have on those at the top. After a 26-year corporate career — in which she worked for businesses as small as 40 employees and as large as Fortune 400 companies — she realized that the most meaningful aspect of her work was the people connection. Today she works with business leaders and individuals — in their professional and personal lives — to use communications more effectively to create a world in which they feel heard, understood and respected.

In this podcast we talk with communication coach Stacy Idema about the key role communication plays in impacting culture and team dynamics. Stacy shares with us what she has learned from 26 years of working in the corporate world and now as a coach who helps leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners use their own strengths to connect with people and get the work done.

Our discussion takes on a new relevance as we look at how the COVID pandemic has affected what we’re doing now and how we’re using communication to respond to this crisis. Stacy believes that communication has always required empathy but now it’s more important than ever. She encourages leaders to empathize with their employees and, equally important, really listen to what their people have to say. Both of these are vital for your business to be able to move forward and accomplish your goals … and for you as you begin to think about how you want to be remembered, that is, your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of “creating space” to process what’s going on now with your business and your personal life

– Why it may not be best to ask employees if they need “help”

– When and how to be brutal and honest

– About the “SPEAK” method and how it can provide a framework for effective communication

– Tips for new leaders

– How thinking about the ideal experience may be the first step toward accomplishing your goals and building your legacy


About Stacy Idema

Stacy Idema is a communication coach who helps leaders, executives, entrepreneurs and business owners change the way they communicate so they can positively impact their business culture and team dynamics.

The daughter of a small business owner, Stacy saw firsthand the impact that running a business and leading teams can have on those at the top. After a 26-year corporate career — in which she worked for businesses as small as 40 employees and as large as Fortune 400 companies — she realized that the most meaningful aspect of her work was the people connection. Today she works with business leaders and individuals — in their professional and personal lives — to use communications more effectively to create a world in which they feel heard, understood and respected. She can be found on her website, www.stacyidema.com, and reached via email: stacy@stacyidema.com

Building My Legacy
1954building my legacy,lois sonstegard phdfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-102-liz-darosa-on-the-importance-of-being-able-to-pivot-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--42851970
In this podcast we talk with branding and social media expert Liz daRosa who has 20 years of experience supporting organizations as they pivot and maintain relevance for high growth. Liz does a great deal of work designing and executing strategies that improve team and organizational performance.

She shares her own story with us about how a layoff forced her to pivot from a career she enjoyed in higher education. Today Liz coaches individuals who are trying to grow their own businesses and also works with organizations that need to optimize their social media efforts and get their branding where it should be. Our discussion with Liz is particularly timely as many organizations face major issues, such as how will we bring people back to the workforce, move forward with healing and encourage people to embrace diversity and inclusion.

So if you want to know:

– How “putting out positivity” can help you use social media more effectively
– Why it often takes someone from the outside to create actionable steps that will make your business viable or move it to the next level
– The biggest mistake people make when developing their online space
– Why you need to understand the difference between a personal Facebook page and using social media for your business
– The key to finding your own voice — and its importance on social media

About Liz daRosa

Liz daRosa knows firsthand why it’s important for individuals and businesses to be able to pivot. When a reduction in force caused her to pivot from her career in higher education, she became an expert in digital marketing. She now leverages her 57,000 connections on the major social media platforms to help organizations in branding as a component of their organizational culture shift and move to a new normal in the virtual space.

Liz has extensive experience in improving team and organizational performance by incorporating compliance and diversity and inclusion into all aspects of culture … from talent acquisition, training and development, through succession planning. She has worked with start-ups and in a number of client verticals, including government contracting, healthcare, higher education, information technology and professional services. You can find Liz on LinkedIn and Twitter at @lizdaRosa and on her website, lizdaRosa.com

In this podcast we talk with serial entrepreneur Taylor Adams who has a passion for business, education and helping others achieve their goals. Taylor left a career in higher education to develop a real estate investment company, which eventually led her to create the Women’s Investment Network (WIN). She tells us how she got started in real estate investment and how WIN has become a community that focuses on entrepreneurship and provides the support and education to help women entrepreneurs and small business owners succeed.

As a new mother, Taylor also provides a unique perspective for women who are considering investments, starting their own company and also giving back to the community. Well on her way to creating her legacy, Taylor is an excellent example of someone who wasn’t afraid to follow her passions and then build a community that supports others who want to do the same.

So if you want to know:

– About the unique challenges for women who want to get into investments
– How the “impostor syndrome” can hold you back from doing what you can and should be doing
– Why being “overly prepared” prevents many women from taking action
– Why access to capital doesn’t have to be an impediment to investing
– The value of a community, a coach, a mentor — and how they can save you money down the road


About Taylor Adams

Taylor Adams always knew she wanted to be her own boss. After spending five years in higher education, launching programming and new campus operation hubs across North America, she left her nine-to-five job and, with her husband, launched multiple start-up companies. She found her niche in real estate when, in 2016, they founded JT Adams Properties. Since then, Taylor has focused her attention on educating others on how they can launch their own successful businesses, gain additional streams of income, and create the life they’ve always wanted through the Women’s Investment Network (WIN). Created as a community for women entrepreneurs, today WIN includes a podcast and educational programming to inspire and celebrate women entrepreneurs and small business owners. Taylor has a B.S. in business administration with a focus in entrepreneurship and a Master’s in organizational leadership.

In this podcast we talk with author and business growth expert Frank Bria. The author of Scalable Consulting: Use a High-Ticket Program to Transform Your 6-Figure Practice into a 7-Figure Enterprise, Frank shares with us how to “productize” a service business so that, if you’re the business owner, it’s not all about you and your knowledge. Frank dispels the myth that you can’t scale a consulting company, and he shares with us how to productize the business and distill it down to a system that creates the client’s desired outcome.


“Your job, as the service provider, is to make the complex simple,” Frank explains and to “create order from chaos.” It’s also critical, Frank believes, for business owners to take accountability for their clients’ results. Our discussion will be helpful for independent consultants, service providers and anyone who wants to know how to scale their business and get ready for the next phase in life.

So if you want to know:

– How scalability requires you to stick with the five methods of delivering services
– What it takes to break through the $400,000 annual revenue barrier
– Why you should hire to specific skills — not look for employees who are like you
– How a well-designed program has SAM — skills, accountability and mentorship
– The four things people really want when they buy something
– The biggest mistake consultants can make


About Frank Bria

Frank Bria is the founder of High-Ticket Program and the author of Scalable Consulting: Use a High-Ticket Program to Transform Your 6-Figure Practice into a 7-Figure Enterprise. He has become the go-to authority on scalable program design and execution, having helped thousands of entrepreneurs design and execute their high-ticket programs. After starting in the fintech sector and launching several tech startups, Frank now works with B2B service businesses and consultants to create offers that save them time, enable them to help more clients, and ensure that clients get the promised results. He also hosts “The 6 to 7 Figures Show” podcast.

In this podcast we talk with Sean Campbell, founder and CEO of Cascade Insights, who has been a professional services firm owner for more than 20 years. He talks with us about what it takes for professional service firms to survive, grow, stay competitive and ultimately become “sellable.” Sean, who broke away from full-time employment as a teacher, has a number of insights into becoming an independent contractor and then making that all-important decision to add employees and take the steps to grow the business.



From our discussion you’ll get valuable insights into what employees really want from their employer — and it’s not a bigger benefit package or great coffee. You’ll also learn about the unique apprenticeship approach Sean takes with new employees and the importance for business owners to have patience. Even if you don’t run a professional services firm, you’re sure to find this information extremely helpful in today’s challenging economy and as you build your legacy.



So if you want to know:

– About the “age of narrow” and the importance of deciding which market you want to serve
– Why consulting needs to be about context — understanding your client’s business
– How saying “no” to your biggest client could be the smartest thing you can do
– Why the most important thing you can do for your employees is to help them achieve their career goals
– Why onboarding and training programs aren’t as successful as an apprenticeship program for new employees


About Sean Campbell

Sean Campbell is the founder and CEO of Cascade Insights, a competitive intelligence and market research firm for B2B technology companies. He has been training, mentoring and educating all his life, and his professional services work includes consulting engagements with Fortune 50 companies as well as start-ups where he helps with these firms’ delivery, sales, marketing and operational practices. He is also a well-regarded conference speaker and author and has delivered talks for Fortune 50 companies and at top-tier conferences. His most recent book is the sixth edition of Going Beyond Google. He hosts the popular “B2B Revealed” podcast, now with more than 100 episodes on methodology, B2B tech and interviews with thought leaders.

In this podcast we talk with Dr. James Richardson, founder of Premium Growth Solutions, a strategic planning consultancy for early-stage consumer-packaged goods brands. With a background in cultural anthropology, Dr. Richardson left academia to pursue a career in market research where he has done a great deal of work with consumer product development. He shares with us unique insights into why people buy certain items and what it takes to grow a new consumer brand exponentially.



Dr. Richardson is a specialist in best practices for growing early stage brands, which he considers the cutting edge of entrepreneurial innovation right now. In our discussion, he looks at the most common problems many start-up entrepreneurs face. He also talks about how now may be the best time to assess your strengths and use them to build your own business — and, as a result, build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why firing yourself is the best way to leave a company
– How other people influence your buying decisions — and how you don’t want to admit it
– Why, for many research purposes, focus groups can be the wrong choice
– Who’s most interested in sustainability and why it may be the number one zone of hypocrisy
– What’s happening with legacy brands and premium-priced products — and why

In this podcast we talk with life coach Sonna Johns who helps her clients overcome negative people and move past their own unique challenges — in their personal and business lives. With the challenges facing all of us today, there’s never been a better time to explore ways to deal with negativity and take steps to ensure it doesn’t affect our work and home life.



Sonna believes there are ways to cope with negativity and, although it may not always be easy, she reminds us that we have a choice. If we try to do the right things — with our business and personal relationships — yet we get “off track,” we can choose to get ourselves right back on track. She recognizes that today many of us are facing problems we’ve never dealt with before, and it can be hard to be positive all the time. “I never say, ‘Don’t feel the pain,’ just don’t feel it for too long,” she explains.



So if you want to know:

– How being grateful, taking care of yourself and giving back can help you manage each day’s challenges
– Why productivity shouldn’t be your scorecard — and what should be
– The most important thing to understand about challenging relationships at work
– Some good things that have come out of the COVID-19 restrictions
– The role of a strong support system as you continue to cope with life’s challenges


About Sonna Johns

Sonna Johns has experienced some significant challenges herself. As a single mother raising two boys for the past fourteen years, she identifies with her clients who face negative people and challenging situations. She left the corporate world — having worked in the competitive environment of marketing and advertising for more than 10 years — to become a life coach, helping others learn to love themselves and become more self-empowered. She is the founder of Sonnalife LLC, which focuses on personal growth and self-mastery. A certified Law of Attraction Life Coach, she sees her mission as teaching others how to raise their awareness, become more confident and learn how to trust themselves.

In this podcast we talk with JP Clement, the CEO of boomtime, who is passionate about helping businesses grow. He is particularly concerned about ensuring that businesses know if their marketing is really working. JP discusses the analytical part of marketing and how important it is for businesses to have an integrated marketing plan that ties together many different tactics, including the all-important “word of mouth” marketing. JP believes that, when used properly, recommendations and referrals from your customers can be the most efficient type of digital marketing for B2B companies.

The most important thing though, for all companies, JP reminds us, is to define your strategy based on analytics and then measure the results of each marketing campaign. Our discussion with JP is particularly timely in today’s environment where you can no longer go to trade shows or conferences yet you need to stay in touch with your current customers and continue to feed new, qualified leads into your sales funnel.

So if you want to know:

– How word of mouth marketing works and why it’s so important
– How content creation can help you build your authority
– What to look for in a digital marketing agency
– The various KPIs — key performance indicators — to consider when designing your marketing strategy
– The most common reason marketing campaigns fail


About JP Clement

JP Clement is the CEO of boomtime, a digital marketing company that specializes in word of mouth advertising, which includes email marketing, content creation to build authority, and the development of websites to capture and ultimately convert leads to sales. During his 30+ years in marketing, digital strategy and product management, JP has worked for or helped companies in both the B2B and B2C sectors, including Madison Square Garden, General Mills, DFS Group Ltd., Johnson & Johnson and National Geographic. He also founded three digital strategy and marketing agencies after working for many years on the corporate side of marketing. His passions are analytics, digital products and creating the right strategy at the right time for the right audience.

In this podcast we talk with mindset and wellness coach Megan Swan about the many aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Megan helps us explore the various components of health — what promotes health and what takes away from it. I believe that people want to be healthy; they just don’t know how to begin. As you move through your career and build your legacy, have you put off your own well-being? If so, you’ll appreciate what Megan has to say about topics like “bio individuality,” that is, the understanding that there’s no one perfect diet for every single person.


Megan’s approach — which she calls “sustainable integrative wellness” — promotes slow, gradual changes over time so that healthy habits become easily integrated into your lifestyle. It’s a good lesson for all of us — young and old — and essential if you want to avoid health problems that can hold you back from building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How processed foods may be weighing down your energy
– Why your shopping focus should be outside the supermarket
– One easy trick for reading food labels more efficiently
– The five aspects of a healthy nutritional lifestyle
– How an everyday task like washing the dishes can be a mindful practice
– What’s behind detoxification


About Megan Swan

As a first-time mother, Megan Swan felt exhausted, overwhelmed and impatient. After working with a health coach, she discovered the negative effects of the standard American diet on our health and well-being. She eliminated processed foods, refined sugar and gluten from her diet and found new levels of energy. She also became a wellness and mindset coach, specializing in detoxification, plant-based living, mindful practices and stress management.



Megan is convinced that, by making small but important lifestyle adjustments, you can prevent many chronic diseases. Her coaching approach emphasizes intuitive eating, exercise, mindful practices and understanding your own unique biorhythms and digestive cycles. Megan is also a yoga instructor, author and chef, having recently completed her chef certification in vegan or plant-based cuisine.

In this podcast we talk with Sky Stephens, co-founder of the Association of Professional Builders, a business coaching company dedicated to improving the residential construction industry for both builders and consumers. The coaching that Sky’s organization provides doesn’t have anything to do with construction. Rather, she helps builders with the business side of their company. And the advice she shares with us is really applicable to businesses in any industry.

You’ll benefit from hearing Sky’s thoughts on topics like acquiring and converting leads, the difference between markup and margin, how to look at supply and demand, and the importance of systemization. She also points out that, with the right systems in place, a business can go on for many years after its founder is gone. And that’s an important part of building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why lead generation is just the beginning of an effective sales process
– How successful marketing makes your prospects “problem-aware”
– About the D-A-D process: delete, automate, delegate
– Why “discounting” is a dirty word and how to avoid it
– The importance of selling on value


About Sky Stephens

Sky Stephens co-founded the Association of Professional Builders with her father, Russ Stephens. The organization started as a marketing agency to help builders use Facebook ads and other online platforms to generate leads. When Sky and Russ realized that not every builder was able to convert their leads, they expanded the organization to become a sales training company. Today the Association helps builders with marketing, sales, business operations, financials and even personal development. Their mission is to improve the residential construction industry for both builders and consumers. With the Association’s help, builders in Australia, New Zealand, the U.S., Canada and the U.K. have been able to double the size of their businesses through profitable growth. The key, these builders have learned, is systemization that delivers an improved client experience, more demand and ultimately the ability to increase their margins and scale their businesses into desirable assets that possess real value.

In this podcast life and business coach Oumar Dieng talks about his area of expertise – resilience. A speaker, author and coach, Oumar has helped many business people look at their goals and how best to achieve them – especially when they face a significant change in their lives and need to be resilient to adapt to this change.

Oumar shares with us fascinating stories of his early life in Mauritania in West Africa where, as a teenager, he survived an attack on his home and spent time in a refugee camp until he was eventually able to leave his homeland. He credits his survival and ultimate success as a coach to staying positive and implementing what he now calls his “five core steps to resilience.” You’ll find our discussion provides practical information to help you in these uncertain times and as you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How the smallest life lessons can help you face difficult challenges
– Why “anchor memories” can repel current negative thoughts
– About the power of “letting go”
– Why it’s important to realize you’re not alone
– Why you need to learn to be nimble

About Oumar Dieng

Oumar Dieng is a motivational speaker, author, and life purpose and business coach. He coaches people to reach their personal and business goals by using positive habits, resilience and motivational strategies. Oumar got into coaching, as he says, “by accident.” A co-worker noticed that, although Oumar had a lower level professional job, he was very visible in their company. After hearing this co-worker’s aspirations and goals, Oumar made some suggestions, which she put into action. In a short time, the co-worker got a promotion and was able to move her career forward – just by taking the advice Oumar had given her.



Today Oumar helps people achieve their goals and live the life they want by offering “bite-sized” actionable advice and guidance. More information is available at his website, www.OumarDieng.com or on his Facebook page, OumarDiengSpeaker.

In this podcast online business coach and social media strategist Samanth Kozuch talks about how to become an influencer. She shares her own story – including how a traumatic life experience became her wake-up call – as well as the ManiscriptingTM Method she created and uses each morning to program her brain, start off with a positive mindset and help her achieve her goals.



Samantha talks with us about how entrepreneurs can successfully use social media as a platform and list builder to create and launch their own online programs, coaching programs and physical products to monetize their social media accounts. She believes that you are the creator of your life, no matter where you are right now in your life, your career or your business. If you want to make a change, you have the power to do so – and it doesn’t take a lot of effort. She advises taking “little baby steps” to start on your journey to “that higher self.” It’s good advice for everyone, particularly as you deal with these continuing challenging times and as you work to build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The top five things you should do to become a social media influencer
– Tips on how to select people you want to partner with and how to approach them
– The five most common mistakes people make with social media
– How the Maniscripting Method works


About Samantha Kozuch

Samantha Kozuch has been an entrepreneur for more than 10 years and has built multiple six-figure businesses. She started using social media in its early days, posting about her work in the health and fitness industry. As she began cultivating followers and became an early influencer, Samantha became the “go-to” social media expert and eventually went “all-in” on business coaching.



She credits her success to being in full alignment with her life decisions thanks to her daily morning ritual, The Maniscripting Method, which is now helping others live the life they want. Her “Launch Your Online Business Accelerator” teaches entrepreneurs how to create, plan and launch an online business using social media.

In this podcast, executive leadership coach and consultant Pasquale Mazzuca talks about leadership, the importance of human capital, and the need to prepare our leaders differently. Pasquale believes that the leadership paradigm needs to shift because “people are unhappy with the world that we’ve created.” He echoes the philosophy of a CEO who described himself as the “CTO” – or chief trouble officer. Pasquale sees himself as a CTO, too, because he often causes trouble by representing a different way of thinking and a different mindset.

Our discussion with Pasquale on how we need to be more effective interacting with others is particularly relevant as more employees work remotely because of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re managing employees working from home or in a hybrid setting, this podcast has valuable information to help your team become more engaged and more productive and to help you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The three most important things managers can do to put a new kind of leadership in place
– Why influencing without authority is such an important executive skill
– How COVID-19 has accelerated workplace change
– What the most successful leadership teams have in common
– How the work of consultants is starting to shift


About Pasquale Mazzuca

With more than 30 years of professional experience, Pasquale Mazzuca has developed a distinguished career as an executive leadership coach and consultant. The CEO of TalentWorks Group (talentworksgroup.com), he has also been a partner with Heidrick and Struggles in their leadership consulting practice. Before that, he co-founded and grew Hamilton Davenport partners, a leadership consulting boutique. He worked as the human resource director of a major European telecommunications company where he helped the executive committee build leadership capabilities among the top 200 executives and implement major change initiatives.



Pasquale has consulted with companies all over the world in the areas of leadership development, talent acquisition, employer branding, retention strategies, performance management, executive coaching, organizational change, and workforce mobility. He is an associate professor at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School, holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wales, UK, and has completed various post-graduate programs in human resources and organizational design.

In this podcast, executive leadership coach and consultant Pasquale Mazzuca talks about leadership, the importance of human capital, and the need to prepare our leaders differently. Pasquale believes that the leadership paradigm needs to shift because “people are unhappy with the world that we’ve created.” He echoes the philosophy of a CEO who described himself as the “CTO” – or chief trouble officer. Pasquale sees himself as a CTO, too, because he often causes trouble by representing a different way of thinking and a different mindset.

Our discussion with Pasquale on how we need to be more effective interacting with others is particularly relevant as more employees work remotely because of the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’re managing employees working from home or in a hybrid setting, this podcast has valuable information to help your team become more engaged and more productive and to help you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The three most important things managers can do to put a new kind of leadership in place
– Why influencing without authority is such an important executive skill
– How COVID-19 has accelerated workplace change
– What the most successful leadership teams have in common
– How the work of consultants is starting to shift


About Pasquale Mazzuca

With more than 30 years of professional experience, Pasquale Mazzuca has developed a distinguished career as an executive leadership coach and consultant. The CEO of TalentWorks Group (talentworksgroup.com), he has also been a partner with Heidrick and Struggles in their leadership consulting practice. Before that, he co-founded and grew Hamilton Davenport partners, a leadership consulting boutique. He worked as the human resource director of a major European telecommunications company where he helped the executive committee build leadership capabilities among the top 200 executives and implement major change initiatives.



Pasquale has consulted with companies all over the world in the areas of leadership development, talent acquisition, employer branding, retention strategies, performance management, executive coaching, organizational change, and workforce mobility.

Building My Legacy1956building my legacy,lois sonstegard phdfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-88-joe-bernstein-helps-men-move-forward-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--41731903
In this podcast, men’s coach Joe Bernstein talks about how the organization he founded – Drop the Armor Wellness – helps men whose lives aren’t quite working out the way they want. His clients include men who are at a point in their career where they need to make a big decision: Do they leave a relationship? Do they change careers? Do they sell their company? Joe believes these men are stuck in a place where they’re trying to talk their way into a better life. They’re ready to take action, but they need someone to help them take that next step. In our discussion, Joe talks about the approach he uses with men at various stages of their careers: men who are focused on being great leaders, building a successful business, or building their legacy. He cautions against getting “stuck in your head” and believes the key to living a truly great life is to align your head, your heart, and your guts.

So if you want to know:

The first step in getting “unstuck” from a career or lifestyle that no longer seems to fit
Why “cookie-cutter” and “fast change” approaches won’t work
Why emotional intelligence isn’t the most important thing
How you need to move from “owning it” to expressing it – without harming others or hurting your reputation

About Joe Bernstein

Joe Bernstein founded Drop the Armor Wellness in 2013 after he learned to grab the reins of his own life, coping with a divorce and losing 160 pounds without diets. He left a successful career in retail management to help other men feel the love and freedom he learned to cultivate when he took responsibility for his life and decided to change and grow.

Today, as a writer and coach, Joe helps men let go of overthinking and live a better life, rooted in a clear head, an open heart, and solid guts. His clients are often successful business owners, tech executives, top leaders, and individual performers, entrepreneurs, and others who want a “lit-up life.” Joe also leads transformational men’s initiatives in The Mankind Project and volunteers with the Showing Up for Racial Justice Washington, DC Chapter on its Healing Team. More information is available at joebernsteincoaching.com.

In this podcast lifestyle coach James Hopkins talks about what it takes to get an entrepreneurial business off the ground. An expat himself, James works primarily with other expats, turning them into entrepreneurs. His advice is valuable for all of us – whether you’re thinking about starting your own business, struggling with how to turn a hobby into a real business or looking for a mentor who can help with your career and building your legacy.



James shares his journey with us – becoming an expat at a relatively young age and, then, realizing he needed a more stable income and life when he discovered he was about to become a father. His decision to focus on and build his coaching and consulting business, The Lifestyle Marketeer, led him to a marketing strategy that revolves around paid digital advertising. And he’s seen success, growing his business to multiple seven figures. Today James helps clients use paid advertising to promote and grow their businesses in a cost-effective way. He also provides training and mentorship for expats who want to start their own digital marketing agencies.

So if you want to know:

– How expats can become successful entrepreneurs
– The three keys to getting a new business off the ground
– The value of a mentor and how to choose the right one for you
– Why to stop “chasing the numbers” and find real value in a work-life balance

About James Hopkins

The CEO of The Lifestyle Marketeer, James Hopkins left the UK at the age of 20 and moved to Thailand. After working at a call center and other jobs, he discovered the world of internet and social media marketing and that he could achieve success as a coach and consultant.



Fatherhood motivated James to become what he is today: a multiple seven-figure business owner, a person of influence and a life-changer for the many expats who have taken his training. He’s helped these expats who weren’t satisfied with their current job – teaching English, for example – and wanted the income and freedom to live a better lifestyle. James has helped hundreds of expats become entrepreneurs, running successful digital marketing agencies. More information about James, his team and his coaching and mentorship program is available at https://jameshopkinscoachingltd.com

Building My Legacy

In this podcast, we talk with life coach Gretta Scholten who works primarily with female entrepreneurs, helping them manage their time more effectively and reach their career and life goals. Time management is such a universal challenge – especially if you’ve left an organization where you were able to delegate many tasks and are now in a start-up business, developing a foundation or taking other steps to build your legacy.

Gretta believes that effective time management is really mind management. She takes us through the “foundational four” time-management steps that she tailors to each client’s specific needs. Her advice is valuable for all of us especially now if you’re working from home, taking care of children attending school remotely or managing a schedule that often goes beyond the normal nine-to-five office workday. Gretta wants you to think 20 years into the future and ask yourself, “What will I wish I would have done in this moment?” That’s critical as you continue to build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How to break down challenging projects into easy, bite-size pieces and the value of doing so
– Why paper “to do” lists aren’t the answer
– What you should do every Friday
– Tips to deal with email and get control of your smartphone
– Why it’s okay to think about the worst case scenario


About Gretta Scholten

Time management and life coach Gretta Scholten believes that time management has always been in her DNA. For nine years she worked as an occupational therapist, setting goals for her clients and helping them achieve those goals. When she became a certified life coach, she used this same talent to help people learn to manage their time well, to take a step back to look at their end goals and to determine what they needed to learn and do to achieve those goals.

Gretta is a certified life and weight loss coach through The Life Coach School and has a Master of Science degree in occupational therapy. Her coaching approach involves being honest about where you want to go and being focused on each step of the journey so that you can do so much more in so much less time. Her website is GrettaCoaches.com, and she’s on Instagram at Gretta_Scholten.

In this podcast, we talk with marriage and family counselor Dr. Caroline Iscovitz who also works as a coach for female entrepreneurs. Caroline shares with us what she has learned about the importance of fostering our relationships, the biggest challenges facing working couples today and the role relationships play in building and growing your business.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create economic uncertainty, it’s more important than ever before to look at your relationships and to focus on what’s in your control. The most successful businesses will determine how to pivot so that they can continue to stay in business and perhaps even grow. As you move forward in your career and build your legacy, it’s critical to be aware of what happens to your relationships, how you can foster them and how they can add purpose to your life.

So if you want to know:

– The four-step process that can help you deal successfully with relationship issues
– Why journaling can help you decide what’s best for you, your family and your business
– What’s wrong with “putting things on hold” in a relationship
– Why active listening is such an important part of good communication
– The importance of acknowledging that your feelings are valid and learning to face them


About Dr. Caroline Iscovitz

Dr. Caroline Iscovitz is a doctor in psychology specializing in marriage and family therapy. For nearly a decade, she has also been working as a coach to help women entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed trying to balance their business, their family and their health. She helps these women to be in control of the decisions they make, the relationships they nurture and – most of all – to take care of themselves without guilt. In fact, Caroline believes the most important thing you can do is remember to love yourself. It’s also vital to set boundaries, which will help you elevate yourself and just be happier. She also reminds all of us that your feelings are valid. You matter, and you are enough.

In this podcast, Jared Curry, founder and CEO of Scope 16 Marketing, shares with us how he got into digital marketing and what businesses need to know to be successful with their digital marketing efforts. Jared’s fascinating story starts two years ago when, at the age of 16, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and “knew that entrepreneurship was for me.” Today his agency helps clients grow through the use of Scope 16’s unique 8 Figure eCommerce Blackhawk System.

Jared gives us an inside look at the Blackhawk System, which nurtures cold audiences and builds ad copy that converts leads into sales. This proven approach, which depends on a systemized media buy, has helped Scope 16 clients improve their click-through rates and get exceptional results. Jared believes he’s been successful because “persistence beats resistance” – not only in business, but in life. He also believes that “we’re here to build a legacy” – a message that resonates with all of us.

So if you want to know:

– About the importance of an “audience hypothesis”
– What you should be doing now with your email list
– Why retargeting is so important and how to get started
– The three steps in Jared’s hiring process
– Why the best hire for a copywriting position may not be a copywriter

About Jared Curry

When Jared Curry was 17 and watched a webinar from digital marketing specialist Billy Wilson, he decided to buy Billy’s course – even though he had to borrow money from his parents to pay for it. Today, at the age of 18, he is the CEO of Scope 16 Marketing – a team of digital marketing geniuses delivering amazing results for their clients.



Solely focused on paid online advertising with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Google Marketing, Scope 16 is a Digital Marketer Certified Partner and Facebook Ads Certified Partner. Jared’s unique 8 Figure eCommerce Blackhawk System takes a relatively simple approach that involves leveraging Facebook ads to build the client’s brand and substantially decrease acquisition costs. In fact, the system has helped clients grow from six figures to multiple seven figures in a relatively short time. More information, including client success stories, is available at scope16.com.

This is the second of our two-part podcast with marketing brand strategist Nikki Bradley on collaboration. In this visit we continue our discussion, exploring how to deal with problems you may encounter when you collaborate. Nikki also talks with us about the many reasons to collaborate and how leveraging someone else’s resources, audience, and intellect can help you create something bigger than you could on your own.

Nikki believes that successful collaboration is an ongoing effort. Even if you don’t have an immediate need, fostering and cultivating relationships now will ensure you’re ready to move into a collaborative relationship in the future. That could be especially critical for your business if financial resources and access to business capital become more difficult. Nikki’s advice on what to be mindful of as you identify potential collaboration partners and move in and out of collaborative relationships is valuable for all of us as we build and grow our businesses and as you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– How to overcome the fear of letting someone “see behind the curtain” of your business
– Why you need to be smart about what you share
– The value of diversity of thought
– Reasons to collaborate – beyond selling
– What “The Avengers” movie franchise can teach us about collaboration

In this podcast, we talk again with marketing brand strategist Nikki Bradley who specializes in guiding people to get clarity around their brand, confidence in their messages, and package their expertise into profitable products and services. In this visit, we take a closer look at collaboration. In working with the government and minority groups on collaborative projects, Nikki learned an important lesson: You can’t always do it by yourself. Collaborating and forming partnerships can help your business grow faster and stronger.

The need for collaboration is more important today than ever before as businesses look for new ways to grow and survive in light of the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nikki talks with us about the benefit of leveraging other people’s audiences to get our message out and to get our products and services out to a wider base than we could on our own. She also shares with us her own experience and the process she uses to find the right people to collaborate with. We think you’ll agree that our discussion is a helpful step in learning how to use collaboration effectively to build your business and your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why we, as human beings, want to collaborate
– How your real competition is yourself
– The critical factors to look for in potential partners
– The four questions to ask to help identify opportunities for collaboration
– How the acronym “SCRIPT” can remind you of the categories of potential collaborators

1842building my legacy,lois sonstegard phdfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-81-tom-connally-on-why-leadership-is-an-apprenticed-vocation-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--41499357
In this podcast, experienced leader, coach, and author Tom Connally talks about his experience with leadership. Tom’s 30 years in the Marine Corps taught him that leadership is an apprenticed vocation that requires you to keep learning and growing. As Tom explains, the best leaders “teach something every day, learn something every day” to continue to move forward, go that extra mile, and own the mission.

Tom contends that everyday leadership in peacetime is much more difficult than commanding a squadron facing the enemy. Without the threat of an immediate crisis, he believes, you will have difficulty ensuring all of your people know where the mission is going. Today, with many leaders managing employees remotely, that message is even more important because it’s so difficult to develop and maintain the relationships with your staff that are critical to achieving your company goals and ultimate success.

So if you want to know:

– Why leaders always need to be apprentices
– What you can learn from identifying the life cycle and culture of each organization you work for
– Your true purpose as a leader
– Why leadership is in the questions you ask
– The importance of being the leader your organization needs


About Tom Connally

With parents who served in World War II, Tom Connally learned about leadership at an early age, following his father’s instruction to do well in “school, scouts, sports, and church.” He followed his brothers into the Naval Academy and the Marine Corps, retiring after 30 years of service. Tom then worked as a director for two defense companies for five years before founding Connally Consulting to help leaders and organizations improve their performance and success. Tom is a master at using a deliberate planning process to organize, coordinate, and drive disparate teams toward a common goal with outstanding results.



Tom’s daughter continues the family military legacy and is serving in the Navy today. As a gift to her, Tom wrote Becoming a Leader: A Road Map for My Daughter and the Aspiring Leader.” Although Tom believes that no book alone, including his, will make you an expert leader, this book explores the concept of leadership as a process best learned in apprenticeship to a master – because the best leaders inspire their people to achieve.

Building My Legacy
1946building my legacy,lois sonstegard phdfalsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-80-how-edna-harding-uses-biblical-principles-to-transform-businesses-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--41446272
In this podcast, accomplished growth strategist Edna Harding talks about how she successfully uses biblical principles to help business owners and entrepreneurs improve and transform business and personal performance. Edna combines principles she takes from the Bible with practical wisdom she learned in the business world to create a customized solution for each client’s personality and their specific needs.

Before establishing her own company, Favor, and Weath, Edna worked with businesses and individuals around the world and was disappointed to see ugliness in the marketplace. She realized that it was a lack of knowledge that drives businesses and people to take advantage of each other. Presenting a better way to improve your bottom line, Edna has inspired business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs to follow biblical principles and, as a result, be rewarded with success.

So if you want to know:

Why Jesus can be viewed as the best salesperson in the world
The importance of identifying where you want to go, where you are now, and the gaps between
How finding your true purpose will affect your business, your health, your spiritual life, and your family
The three kinds of people you need in your life
Why you need to embrace change to create your legacy


About Edna Harding

The founder and CEO of Favor and Wealth, a growth strategy development firm, Edna Harding is a certified John Maxwell Trainer, minister, and proud military wife. During her nearly 20-year career, she worked across various corporate departments, including sales, management, operations, recruiting, and finance. This diverse experience gave her a good idea of how companies are run and, unfortunately, also showed her the “ugly” side of business. To prove that people don’t need to be mean-spirited to succeed, Edna began applying biblical principles, sharing scriptures and encouragement, and showing her clients a new way to achieve success. Her own vision reflects this commitment: To transform the marketplace for the better one mind at a time.

Edna was named the VIP Woman of the Year in 2016 by the National Association of Professional Women and selected for the Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow Award in 2018. She has been featured in Biz Talk Radio, Money Matters, other podcasts and TV news shows and is finalizing “The Joy of Living Your Authentic Life,” an online course that she sees as a “boot camp” of the programs she offers.

In this podcast, accomplished growth strategist Edna Harding talks about how she successfully uses biblical principles to help business owners and entrepreneurs improve and transform business and personal performance. Edna combines principles she takes from the Bible with practical wisdom she learned in the business world to create a customized solution for each client’s personality and their specific needs.

Before establishing her own company, Favor, and Weath, Edna worked with businesses and individuals around the world and was disappointed to see ugliness in the marketplace. She realized that it was a lack of knowledge that drives businesses and people to take advantage of each other. Presenting a better way to improve your bottom line, Edna has inspired business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs to follow biblical principles and, as a result, be rewarded with success.

So if you want to know:

Why Jesus can be viewed as the best salesperson in the world
The importance of identifying where you want to go, where you are now, and the gaps between
How finding your true purpose will affect your business, your health, your spiritual life, and your family
The three kinds of people you need in your life
Why you need to embrace change to create your legacy


About Edna Harding

The founder and CEO of Favor and Wealth, a growth strategy development firm, Edna Harding is a certified John Maxwell Trainer, minister, and proud military wife. During her nearly 20-year career, she worked across various corporate departments, including sales, management, operations, recruiting, and finance. This diverse experience gave her a good idea of how companies are run and, unfortunately, also showed her the “ugly” side of business. To prove that people don’t need to be mean-spirited to succeed, Edna began applying biblical principles, sharing scriptures and encouragement, and showing her clients a new way to achieve success. Her own vision reflects this commitment: To transform the marketplace for the better one mind at a time.

Edna was named the VIP Woman of the Year in 2016 by the National Association of Professional Women and selected for the Rotary International Paul Harris Fellow Award in 2018. She has been featured in Biz Talk Radio, Money Matters, other podcasts and TV news shows and is finalizing “The Joy of Living Your Authentic Life,” an online course that she sees as a “boot camp” of the programs she offers.

In this podcast, mindset coach Stefanie Oseni-Momodu talks about her work with female entrepreneurs. Stefanie works with women who are thinking about launching a business or who face problems taking the next steps with an existing business. In most cases, Stefanie explains, the key is looking into your mind and understanding how your thoughts affect your actions and your business.

Stefanie discusses the major challenges facing female entrepreneurs and how she works with her clients to help them become more aware of and manage the negative thoughts that prevent them from achieving success. Her advice is helpful for all of us as we learn how shifting your mindset is essential if you want to strike out as an entrepreneur, move a start-up business forward or build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

Why you can’t be on “autopilot” if you want to make changes in your life
How you just can’t get rid of negative thoughts but need to learn to manage them
Why you need to set expectations from the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey
The role of a support system and how to choose the right people for it
Why we can’t get stuck in the “how” but need to focus on the “why”


About Stefanie Oseni-Momodu

After a 10-year career in finance and the birth of her second son, Stefanie Oseni-Momodu realized that her nine-to-five job didn’t give her the flexibility she wanted to care for her family. When a friend suggested coaching, she took the first step and got a coach herself who was actually a “business mindset” coach. Stefanie quickly learned the value of looking into the mind and seeing how our thoughts affect our actions, our businesses and the next steps we take.

Today Stefanie works with female entrepreneurs at the beginning and middle of their business journey, helping them make decisions and take actionable steps toward their dream goals. As a mindset coach, Stefanie uses different tools and techniques to get to the bottom of what is really preventing her clients from achieving what they want to accomplish for themselves and their businesses. More information about Stefanie’s coaching company is available on her website, stefaniegabriellacoaching.com.

In this podcast, we talk with Luke Shankula, founder and CEO of Paragon Digital Marketing, and a leading mortgage marketing expert. In addition to giving us an overview of today’s real estate market, Luke talks extensively about digital marketing – from lead generation through conversion.

With his background as a loan officer, it was natural for Luke to get into marketing for mortgage professionals. Today he and his company work with loan officers to identify consumers who want to buy or refinance a home and convert those leads into sales. His digital marketing tools include Facebook ads, Instagram, and even YouTube. He also acknowledges that marketing takes time and it all comes down to “mindset.” According to Luke, if you’re willing to learn, willing to change, and willing to put in the work, you can succeed.

So if you want to know:

– Why generating leads is just a small piece of the marketing puzzle
– How to “warm-up” leads by asking qualifying questions on the front-end
– Why “speed to lead” is such an important part of an effective conversion process
– Why internet leads require a different approach than referrals
– How having a “growth mentality” can help you improve your process

About Luke Shankula

Luke Shankula’s first job out of college was with a mortgage company. When a layoff forced him to go out on his own, he became a licensed loan officer. But, as he learned more about marketing strategies to support his own business, he quickly realized that his future lay elsewhere. In his words, he “fell in love with marketing.” In 2017, Luke founded Paragon Digital Marketing, which supports mortgage professionals with lead generation and, more importantly, a complete systemized process to convert those leads into actual customers. A sought-after speaker, Luke has spoken at several Legion of Loan Officer events. More information about Luke, his company and his proven back-end conversion process is available at paragonmg.com.

In this podcast, accomplished financial advisor Jonathan DeYoe talks about mindful financial investing, responsibility, and priority setting – topics that are so important today as the continuing COVID-19 pandemic has created financial stress for so many of us.

In working with clients, Jonathan concentrates on being goal-focused and understanding what’s important to each client. This ensures that working together, Jonathan and his client will build a portfolio that works – regardless of what you hear in the media, what your brain may tell you, or even what your parents say is important. As one client told him, “Jonathan, I finally get it. You don’t manage investments. You manage people.” Jonathan also shares with us his thoughts on the two kinds of legacy – your legacy of values as well as your financial legacy that can last for multiple generations.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of our physiological, psychological, and cultural response to money
– Why sometimes the best thing you can do with your investments is nothing
– What mindfulness is and how, in personal finance, it provides a doorway to reason
– How your values should serve as a foundation for your financial life
– Why it’s never too late to begin planning your financial legacy


About Jonathan DeYoe

With more than 24 years’ experience as a financial advisor, Jonathan DeYoe managed investments at a number of Wall Street companies before founding his own financial planning firm. Today he and his team at Mindful Money teach simple steps to financial success and ways to overcome emotional and cognitive biases related to money. A contributor to personal finance matters for the Huffington Post, Business Insider, NerdWallet, and MindBodyGreen, he has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. His best-selling book, Mindful Money: Simple Practices for Reaching Your Financial Goals and Increasing Your Happiness Dividend, illustrates how he believes a financial advisor can provide the most value. Jonathan asks each of his clients, “What’s important to you?” and then uses this information to help his clients understand how their values create a foundation for their financial lives. It’s Jonathan’s ultimate goal to help his clients live happier, more fulfilling lives, and build the legacy they want to leave.

In this podcast, we talk with Peter Montoya – best-selling author, powerful coach, and entrepreneur – about his journey from a career in sales to the founding of Marketing Pro. In just 10 years, Peter had built a successful software company that he was able to sell for a multi-million dollar price tag – without capital, partners, or investors.

Recognized as the industry guru on personal branding and marketing, Peter provides remarkable insight into human behavior, including our innate desire to make positive contributions to other human beings as well as the things in our psychological make-up that work against us. Effective marketing, as Peter explains, is all about finding the unmet need and filling it better than anyone else. He also discusses what it takes to become a transformational leader and the importance of thinking about the long-term impact you want to make on humanity, that is your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– Why specialization is essential for effective marketing
– How transformational leaders create a revolution in “what is”
– How to help people reach their maximum creativity
– A leader’s most important job
– The real definition of power

About Peter Montoya

After spending five years on the road in sales, Peter Montoya made the decision to become an entrepreneur. Recognizing that the key to success was specialization, he started an advertising agency and wrote the book, The Brand Called You. Both the agency and the book were geared specifically for financial advisors, which led to his start-up software company, Marketing Pro. His company was successful because he found a very specific problem in the marketplace – content marketing for financial service professionals – and developed a solution for that market. Today Peter is one of the country’s most sought-after speakers and coaches on transformational leadership and the need for leaders and organizations to take into consideration our “future selves” and work to protect the survival of our civilization and our planet.

In this podcast, transformational therapist Michele Molitor offers a way to rapidly transform how you process and look at your feelings and the information you take in. She has worked with people of all ages to help them identify and neutralize the emotional blocks preventing them from achieving success. Our discussion is particularly timely for leaders whose people look to them for the help they need moving forward with their careers and their lives – even when they’re working from home or in a hybrid workplace.

Michele studied with Marisa Peer, the world-renowned therapist who developed Rapid Transformational TherapyTM (RTT), which brings together cognitive behavioral therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and hypnosis. By combining RTT with coaching, Michele has been able to develop her 30-day Rapid RewiringTM program that meets the needs of a busy lifestyle. More than a “quick fix,” Rapid Rewiring delivers long-lasting results by changing the messages to your brain.

So if you want to know:

– How beliefs we have about ourselves can hold us back and even be manifested in physical pain
– The value of building new neural pathways to your brain
– Why today connection and communication are more important than ever for workplace leaders
– Why, to build effective teams, leaders need to maintain their own balance first
– The importance of telling yourself “I am enough”


About Michele Molitor

When Michele Molitor was “bullied” out of her job as a creative director, her uncle suggested career coaching.

In this podcast, transformational therapist Michele Molitor offers a way to rapidly transform how you process and look at your feelings and the information you take in. She has worked with people of all ages to help them identify and neutralize the emotional blocks preventing them from achieving success. Our discussion is particularly timely for leaders whose people look to them for the help they need moving forward with their careers and their lives – even when they’re working from home or in a hybrid workplace.

Michele studied with Marisa Peer, the world-renowned therapist who developed Rapid Transformational TherapyTM (RTT), which brings together cognitive behavioral therapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and hypnosis. By combining RTT with coaching, Michele has been able to develop her 30-day Rapid RewiringTM program that meets the needs of a busy lifestyle. More than a “quick fix,” Rapid Rewiring delivers long-lasting results by changing the messages to your brain.

So if you want to know:

– How beliefs we have about ourselves can hold us back and even be manifested in physical pain
– The value of building new neural pathways to your brain
– Why today connection and communication are more important than ever for workplace leaders
– Why, to build effective teams, leaders need to maintain their own balance first
– The importance of telling yourself “I am enough”

In this podcast, we talk again with trauma surgeon and epidemiologist Dr. Turner Osler. As an academic physician, Dr. Osler brings a unique perspective to our in-depth discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic, what we should be doing now and what this pandemic has taught us about the state of medicine in the U.S. We also explore the future of medicine, why the U.S. continues to have a shortage of family practitioners and what it means for our country.

So if you want to know:

– Why viruses are unique and why COVID-19 is a “fascinating virus among viruses”
– How our own behavior is the most important factor in solving this pandemic
– Why businesses should be looking at reengineering workflow right now
– About the complexities of vaccine production and distribution
– An academic physician’s thoughts on the future of medicine in the U.S.

About Dr. Turner Osler

After a successful career as a trauma surgeon, Dr. Osler became a research epidemiologist. He has published more than 300 peer-reviewed medical papers and book chapters. An entrepreneur, Dr. Osler also serves as CEO of QOR360 – pronounced “core three-sixty.” He founded this Vermont company to “change the way the world sits.” Today QOR360 manufactures chairs that are ergonomic, healthy and promote “active seating.” Through ButtOn Chairs, Dr. Osler offers schools the opportunity to make their own active seating chairs at a cost of just $5 each for the material. By allowing students to move at their desks, the chairs help children burn more calories and can even result in improved test scores. Learn more about Dr. Osler’s goal to give our children a future without back pain at buttonchairs.org

In this podcast, we talk with Cody Hofhine, founder of Real Estate Freedom Formula, successful real estate investor/mentor and high performance coach. Cody shares his story of how he moved from sales jobs that didn’t pay the family bills to success in wholesale real estate. He’s also building a legacy of helping people who need to move properties quickly and coaching individuals on how to build their own successful real estate business. In recognizing the help he received when he was living paycheck-to-paycheck, Cody believes in using his money to “bless other people’s lives.” He calls it the “law of the harvest” – when you give ‘til it hurts, it will come back tenfold.

With more families struggling today as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and others looking to leave corporate America and strike out on their own, Cody’s story will resonate with many of our listeners. It’s also helpful if you’re thinking about your legacy – even if you’re not as financially stable now as you’d like to be.

So if you want to know:

– Where the real estate market is going now
– Why wholesaling can be more profitable than “fix and flip”
– Three steps to making money in wholesale real estate
– Why you need to scale the process before you scale the team – a valuable lesson from McDonald’s
– Questions to ask yourself before you move into an area like wholesale real estate


About Cody Hofhine

After Cody Hofhine left the family construction business during the 2008 downturn, he had several sales jobs that, in his words, had his family living “worse than paycheck to paycheck.” Determined to make a better life for his wife and children, Cody discovered wholesale real estate – finding deeply discounted properties and reselling them to cash buyers who will “fix and flip” them. Today he owns multiple Inc 5000 businesses. The founder of Real Estate Freedom Formula and co-founder of Utah Sell Now, Cody is also a high performance coach and sought after speaker. He hosts his own podcast, Real Estate Freedom Formula, and co-hosts the Wholesaling Inc. podcast. More information is available at his website, codyhofhine.com.

In this podcast, we talk with Dr. Turner Osler who, after a successful career as a trauma surgeon, became a researcher and entrepreneur. You’ll find his story fascinating as you learn about the company he started and the legacy he is building to “change the way the world sits.” If you’ve ever heard that “sitting is the new smoking,” you’ll want to hear Dr. Osler explain how today’s comfortable desk chairs – with their lumbar support – can result in back pain and metabolic syndrome, a combination of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

So if you want to know:

Why our history as hunter-gatherers causes us back pain today
What back pain costs businesses each year – and what can be done about it
How a chair that changes people’s relationship to sitting can reduce the two epidemics threatening so many of us: back pain and metabolic syndrome
About a company that’s making a difference in people’s lives and making money


About Dr. Turner Osler

As a trauma surgeon, Dr. Turner Osler was always on the move – from the operating room to the ICU, to the ER and back to the operating room. When he became interested in the epidemiology of trauma and found himself sitting at a computer, doing mathematical modeling and writing code, he developed back pain. His own search for the reason and a cure led him to discover the relationship between sitting – which most office workers do all day long – and back pain, as well as the rise in high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar levels, high cholesterol and triglycerides, and obesity. Dr. Osler realized that the solution to back problems and “sitting disease” was a new kind of chair that forced its users to develop perfect posture and to get exercise while they were sitting.

Today QOR360 – pronounced “core three-sixty” – manufactures chairs in Vermont that are ergonomic, healthy and promote “active seating.” Through ButtOn Chairs, Dr. Osler offers schools the opportunity to make their own active seating chairs at a cost of just $5 each for the material. By allowing students to move at their desks, the chairs help children burn more calories and can even result in improved test scores.

In this podcast, we talk with marketing brand strategist Nikki Bradley who helps business owners get clarity around their brand, confidence in their messaging and package their purpose into profitable products and services. Nikki stresses that targeting the right audience is key to creating effective marketing and building a great brand. In looking for clients, she goes beyond demographics to the characteristics of people she wants to work with and carries this same approach through when searching for suppliers, recruiting employees and finding companies she wants to partner with.

Today, as the COVID-19 pandemic forces businesses to look at new ways to grow and survive, many companies see the need to collaborate with other organizations. Identifying the right business partners – and letting organizations know you are willing to collaborate on projects – are two timely topics Nikki discusses with us.

So if you want to know:

– How finding your ideal customers is a filtering and qualifying process
– Why it’s okay not to resonate with every potential client
– How to apply the “airport test” to prospective clients, employees and business partners
– How what you focus on is what you will attract


About Nikki Bradley

Nikki Bradley is a brand strategist whose goal is to connect with audiences to help them realize how they can harness their true purpose and power to build their brand. A former top sales and marketing executive and consultant with one of the Big Four accounting/consulting firms, she has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world and helped build start-ups from the ground floor. Her successful career includes designing growth strategies, developing winning teams, and closing multi-million dollar deals with global brands. She teaches real world strategies and the best practices she’s learned from corporate America and as an entrepreneur juggling business ownership and motherhood. A sought after business coach and speaker, Nikki has been recognized for Thought Leadership by Accenture.

In this podcast, we talk with transformational life coach Reshma Baral. Reshma used her own experience of being in an abusive relationship to discover neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and became a master NLP coach. She originally worked with women who had experienced abuse and trauma. Today she also works with men, helping people build their self-confidence, excel in their careers and achieve a work-life balance that leads to happiness. Our discussion with Reshma is particularly timely as we face continued uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. And, for those of you moving on and thinking about your legacy, Reshma offers helpful suggestions for starting the next chapter of your life.

So if you want to know:

– The one question to ask to determine if you really believe in yourself
– The two things you need to do in times of uncertainty
– Why you need to trust yourself if you want to achieve your goals
– About the importance of finding a life coach you can trust

About Reshma Baral

An accountant by training, Reshma Baral became a life coach as a result of a traumatic incident she experienced in an abusive relationship. When she realized that time alone would not heal her post-traumatic stress disorder, she read Tony Robbins’ book, Awaken the Giant Within, and used simple neuro-linguistic programming techniques to get rid of her limiting beliefs and change her habits. With her newfound confidence, she began helping other women who had experienced abuse, trauma and depression. She eventually expanded her work to include men and founded Coach 4 Life, which uses Time Line Therapy® to help people, as she describes it, “Rediscover The Possibilities.” Reshma is a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy and is also a Master Hypnotherapist.

In this podcast, we talk with best-selling author and customer experience expert Greg Kihlstrӧm about the “gig economy” and how it can be a win-win for employers and workers. Greg believes the pandemic has taught us that we can work remotely and, even more importantly, by extending our culture to freelancers, we can successfully build a blended team of onsite and remote full-time employees and freelance workers.

The CEO of CareerGig, a company that matches freelancers with opportunities at companies, Greg shares with us his thoughts on why the gig economy is growing so fast and the best way for employers to take advantage of it.

So if you want to know:

– How the pandemic has forced us to face the issue of employee disengagement and the need for better and faster onboarding
– How working remotely can increase diversity
– What the workplace of the future will look like
– The secret to a good customer experience


About Greg Kihlstrӧm

Greg Kihlstrӧm is the author of The Agile Consumer, which discusses the recent shifts in brand and consumer relationships and how, to be successful, companies must become more agile across their entire operation. In his newest book, The Center of Experience, he explores how the consumer and employee experience can be operationalized into a cohesive brand experience. Greg is the CEO of CareerGig, a marketplace for freelance workers and the companies that hire them, which is changing the way freelancers work. CareerGig uses sophisticated verification and validation methods to vet and match candidates and provides security and stability to workers who value the freedom and flexibility of a gig lifestyle. Greg also founded Carousel30, a digital experience company, which he sold in 2017, and where his customers included AARP, AOL, The Nature Conservancy, NASA, National Park Service, Porsche, Toyota and VW. He has been a regular contributor to Forbes, Advertising Age, Smart CEO, Website Magazine, The Washington Post and other major publications.

In this podcast, we talk with life coach Jacqueline Smith who has worked extensively with women who are high achievers. With a background in psychology and behavioral science, Jacqueline has always been fascinated with why people behave in ways that aren’t consistent with their goals … and why achieving a goal doesn’t always provide satisfaction or fulfillment. “As we move closer to what we say we want, we just set bigger and bigger goals for ourselves,” Jacqueline explains. “It’s like we moved the goalposts.”

Our discussion is very timely in today’s environment with COVID-19 forcing more people to work virtually from home. As workers – especially women – have become more connected with their families, they’re beginning to rethink their work/life balance and how it’s okay if everything isn’t perfect. That’s an important part of building your legacy, too. You want to look back and enjoy what you’ve accomplished, but, equally important, make sure you took time to celebrate your work along the way.

So if you want to know:

– Why you need to love what you’re doing – not just what it will help you achieve
– The important role enthusiasm and curiosity play in productivity
– Why self-criticism isn’t a driver of success
– How the stories you tell yourself shape your reality
– Why leaders need to provide physical and psychological safety to employees returning to the office

About Jacqueline Smith

Jacqueline Smith, a certified life coach, is working on her doctorate in clinical psychology at Rutgers University. Her coaching specialty is working with high-achievers – particularly women – who need help when it comes to slowing down, taking time for themselves, and learning to see their minds more clearly. Jacqueline uses a cognitive behavioral approach to mindset management and aligned action and is especially interested in emotion regulation and emotional intelligence. Her most recent research involves emotion regulation in the context of health and health behaviors. She has a master’s degree in behavioral science from Brown University and a psychology degree from Boston College.

In this podcast, serial entrepreneur Geoff Cook talks about his journey – from his first business, which he started while he was still a student at Harvard, to his more than 20 years of success creating and selling multiple online businesses. Geoff believes there is no downside to failure because, even if a business fails, you’ll learn from that experience. His current social apps, operating under The Meet Group portfolio, use live streaming video to help people forge meaningful connections, which have become even more important in the present COVID-19 environment.

Much of Geoff’s success comes from his natural curiosity and his ability to specify a product and have a vision for it. Like most successful entrepreneurs, Geoff sees “opportunities that aren’t yet realized” and then leads a group of people to “realize them.”

So if you want to know:

– Why “just getting started” is the most important step to becoming an entrepreneur
– When it’s time for an entrepreneur to find something new
– Why entrepreneurs must “embrace the change”
– How the COVID-19 virus has shortened the timeline for goals
– Why reading only business books won’t help you come up with the “great idea”

About Geoff Cook

Geoff Cook, serial entrepreneur and co-founder/CEO of The Meet Group, created his first business when he was a sophomore at Harvard. With a $600 advance against his credit card, he started a “little editing business” that was generating revenue in the millions when he sold it a few years after his graduation. He has founded and sold a number of online companies and is currently the CEO and co-founder of The Meet Group, a portfolio of mobile social entertainment apps that leverage live-streaming video to forge meaningful connections. A thought leader in building safer dating apps, Geoff has won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Greater Philadelphia and has also received the “Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania” award on behalf of his company. He graduated from Harvard University in 2000 with a BA in Economics.

This podcast is the second in a two-part series with digital marketer and brand developer Celina Souffrant. We’re continuing our discussion of sustainability, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Created in 2015, these 17 goals lay out a 15-year plan to eliminate hunger and poverty, promote gender equality and quality education, and identify other significant objectives that will help us achieve a better future.

Celina discusses the implications the UN Sustainable Goals have for businesses and the importance of incorporating sustainability into your business’s mission and objectives so that you can drive meaningful change. She stresses the importance of identifying sustainable goals that offer incremental value to your company by determining what your consumers and stakeholders will believe in and, just as importantly, what you can deliver.

So if you want to know:

– How to start thinking about sustainable consumption over the entire lifecycle of your product
– Why successful marketing balances both the emotional and functional product benefits
– How to determine what metrics align with your brand personality
– Why a good strategy starts with market research
– How businesses that market a service can also have sustainability goals


About Celina Souffrant

Currently working as a consultant in product marketing for Facebook, Celina Souffrant started her career as a performer. When health problems derailed her plans to become an opera singer, she answered a start-up’s Craigslist ad for a model and discovered she was a natural salesperson. She progressed quickly at this aggressively growing company, working in sales and marketing management and building a team that eventually generated revenue in the multimillions. She then became a freelance consultant for nonprofits, a position that took her all over the world. After earning her MBA, Celina transitioned into corporate technology consulting, working with Google and now with Facebook.



Celina has also done a great deal of work in the area of sustainability, helping start-ups include these efforts right from the beginning and working with established businesses to determine what sustainability efforts are most appropriate for their brand.

She progressed quickly at this aggressively growing company, working in sales and marketing management and building a team that eventually generated revenue in the multimillions. She then became a freelance consultant for nonprofits, a position that took her all over the world. After earning her MBA, Celina transitioned into corporate technology consulting, working with Google and now with Facebook.



Celina has also done a great deal of work in the area of sustainability, helping start-ups include these efforts right from the beginning and working with established businesses to determine what sustainability efforts are most appropriate for their brand.

In this podcast, we talk once again with digital marketer and brand developer Celina Souffrant — specifically about her experience in the area of sustainability. Celina points out that today’s consumers want to feel good about the products they’re buying. As a result, sustainability is no longer something extra. It’s something that consumers expect. She cautions, however, that there are right and wrong ways to approach this topic. You need to be authentic in your sustainability efforts and make sure your work in this area makes sense within your brand story.

So if you want to know:

– Why there is power in third party verifications and how to determine which certifications fit with your brand
– How to avoid “greenwashing,” which today’s savvy consumers will see right through
– A valid way to start on the journey to sustainability – without disrupting your entire supply chain
– What costs are involved and what to do before you invest in any sustainability efforts
– How to make your packaging your best sales rep

In this podcast digital marketer and brand developer Celina Souffrant shares her experience on what it takes to grow a start-up. The discussion will help you in terms of sales, client management and your value proposition – whether you’re in a for-profit or nonprofit organization. Celina also talks about her belief that there are so many opportunities to build your legacy. Her own diverse background proves that you don’t have to follow the “corporate nine-to-five path” to build your legacy.

In this podcast marketing and sales strategist Hailey Rowe takes a closer look at marketing and sales and how it can grow your business – particularly for online entrepreneurs. Although Hailey has worked primarily with wellness professionals and wellness companies, as she explains, the principles of marketing and sales are the same for all industries: What are you trying to do? Who is your target audience and where can you find them online? And how can your product or service change your prospective customer’s life?

Hailey believes the right attitude toward marketing and sales can turn your idea or hobby into a real business. That’s why she encourages everyone to learn all they can about marketing and sales – even if you’ve decided to outsource these functions.

So if you want to know:

– Why a lack of clarity and overthinking things may be your biggest marketing challenge
– The importance of having a clear conversion process – a place to send people who express interest in your product or service
– Why she stresses consistency and a sustainable marketing model – one you can stick with and that won’t lead to burn out
– How to evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing efforts – and what to do if you’re not meeting your metrics
– The value of testimonials and tips on getting them from your customers


About Hailey Rowe

Marketing and sales strategist Hailey Rowe started her career as a health coach. She also worked in business development for two rapidly growing health startup companies before she discovered her true passion: helping other health coaches book more clients and make a true impact.



Today Hailey helps health coaches go beyond their certifications and identify what is holding them back from success. That includes helping them define their business structure, develop an objective-oriented marketing plan and build a confident online presence. With Hailey’s support, health coaches have learned to confidently communicate their message so they attract clients they love working with. She also helps health coaches balance a healthy lifestyle and a successful business that enables their clients to change their habits and get amazing results.

In this podcast Hooray Health founder and CEO Shane Foss talks about how the lack of transparency in healthcare hurts part-time workers without health insurance as well as the many insured employees with high-deductible plans. To meet these needs, Hooray Health has created a national network of retail clinics and urgent care providers to offer affordable basic healthcare services for everyday medical needs.

“One in five Americans is sent to collections every year for an unpaid medical bill less than $600,” Shane explains, pointing out that the real problem is access to basic everyday and urgent care. With the COVID-19 pandemic, more employers have come to realize that, if their employees can’t afford to go to the doctor when they’re feeling sick, it creates problems for everyone.

So if you want to know:

– The real issue that the Affordable Care Act – and even a single payer system – doesn’t address
– About new options for healthcare coverage for your part-time employees and why it’s something more employers are considering
– How “bundled” care can reduce employer costs by as much as 60 percent
– Why telemedicine has become one of the biggest trends in the healthcare industry

About Shane Foss

Shane Foss has been in the healthcare industry for more than 25 years, starting as a surgical technologist with the U.S. Air Force. In addition to clinical roles, he has worked in medical device sales. During his career, he saw technology grow exponentially and developed a passion for using technology to improve healthcare operations and products.

Shane started Hooray Health to help people get affordable basic and urgent health care. Using a national network of retail clinics and urgent care providers, Hooray Health plans offer affordable options for employers who see the need to cover part-time employees or fill in the gaps left by high-deductible health plans as a way of rewarding and retaining employees.

This podcast is for anyone who’s thinking about starting an online business … in a corporate job but dreaming of becoming an entrepreneur … or finishing your career and wondering what you can do next to create your legacy. Shana Recker is an experienced network marketer who created her own brand around coaching. Today her online course, the Dream Hustle Academy, helps would-be entrepreneurs clarify their ideas, execute their brand, connect with prospects and create clients for life.



Shana has developed a system that enables her private clients and participants in her online course to recognize and concentrate on the things that bring you joy, have faith in the process and just keep moving towards your goals.

So if you want to know:

– How to get past the self-doubt thoughts in your head
– How to identify your ideal client or niche market
– Why designing a logo and building a website aren’t the first steps
– How to overcome your biggest challenge: the impostor syndrome
– Why authenticity is critical in the online space


About Shana Recker

Shana Recker started her career in graphic design. She then spent 10 very successful years in network marketing until she discovered her real passion: coaching others on how to create an online brand. Working one-on-one with private clients and through her online Dream Hustle Academy, Shana helps people use their own experiences to connect with clients so their Dream Hustle becomes a financially rewarding online business. She believes you should listen to the “whispering feather” inside that tells you it’s time for a change … before the impactful “brick” hits you … or – worse yet – a “mad truck,” in the form of a major life-changing event, forces you to change directions. Women will be especially interested to know that Shana used her maternity leave to discover and capitalize on her own entrepreneurial spirit, and she has never regretted leaving the nine-to-five world behind.

About Shana Recker

Shana Recker started her career in graphic design. She then spent 10 very successful years in network marketing until she discovered her real passion: coaching others on how to create an online brand. Working one-on-one with private clients and through her online Dream Hustle Academy, Shana helps people use their own experiences to connect with clients so their Dream Hustle becomes a financially rewarding online business. She believes you should listen to the “whispering feather” inside that tells you it’s time for a change … before the impactful “brick” hits you … or – worse yet – a “mad truck,” in the form of a major life-changing event, forces you to change directions. Women will be especially interested to know that Shana used her maternity leave to discover and capitalize on her own entrepreneurial spirit, and she has never regretted leaving the nine-to-five world behind.

In this podcast we talk about the challenges of team building in today’s “blended” workplace in which some team members are in the office but many are working remotely. Christopher O’Donnell is the Senior Vice President of Product for HubSpot, which develops and markets software for inbound marketing, sales and customer service. He understands the challenges of the new workplace since HubSpot has eight offices plus a remote office. Christopher believes that, in addition to presenting us with new challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic has opened up different dimensions as teams have moved online and employees are given a chance to do their best work – when and where they’re ready to do it.

So if you want to know:

– How to become involved in someone’s career development – even before they work for you
– Why you need to figure out how to replace the ad hoc conversations at the water cooler
– How working remotely has made the written word a lifeline with the potential to level the playing field – in terms of diversity and inclusion
– Why tolerance for failure is essential if you want a culture of innovation
– Why you don’t want to be the best player in the band


About Christopher O’Donnell

Christopher O’Donnell is the Chief Product Officer at HubSpot where he drives product management, design and user experience for Hubspot’s suite of products. He’s also an innovator and speaker, particularly on the topic of team and culture development. Christopher did his undergraduate work in technology and music. Today he likes to point out that these seemingly diverse interests have so much in common. He readily admits that he doesn’t want to be the best player in the band but rather a magnet that attracts good people – in music and at HubSpot. His philosophy in terms of team-building focuses on the employee lifecycle: attracting the best people, retaining them and helping them to grow and develop so they can do their best work.

So if you want to know:

– The “two-by-two” rule for automated messaging
– How to make emails more effective by using videos and personalization
– Why you need to change the metric for how you evaluate salespeople, looking at productivity as opposed to activity

In the final podcast of our 10-part series on resilience, the topic is becoming resilient in the face of grief. Our guest for this entire series is Kate Fitzsimons who experienced grief at an early age when she lost her sister in a motor vehicle accident. Her story of resilience is an example of how to overcome life’s obstacles and move forward in a positive way. She has also coached many people through grief to bring them out of victimhood and back to a place of power.

Once again, Kate uses her 3Rs of resilience – recognize, reflect and redirect – to work through the feelings of shame and resentment that tend to pile on top of grief. The discussion will be valuable for anyone currently grieving the loss of a loved one as well as someone dealing with an employee or co-worker who is facing grief.

So if you want to know:

– Why we grieve – and it’s not because we lost someone
– How to deal positively with your own feelings of grief
– What to do – and not to do – when a colleague is grieving
– The importance of “holding space for your grief”

About Kate Fitzsimons

Named one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence in 2016, Kate Fitzsimons is an international speaker, certified life coach & director of the Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation – a charity established in honor of her sister Nicole who died in an accident in Thailand in 2012.

Determined to save others from a similar tragic fate, Kate left her corporate career in 2013 to dedicate herself to educating young people about the importance of travel safety. Through her eye-opening presentation at high schools, Kate drives home to students the devastating consequences of risk-taking overseas – a message so powerful that she is now supported by the Australian government and major corporations.

Inspired to help others thrive through adversity, Kate’s presentations to students around the world and her popular podcast show, ”Okay. Now What?” help high school and college students develop “response-ability” – the ability to choose their response to any situation based on their perspective of it. Kate’s passion is to provide inspiration and practical advice to help you overcome even the most traumatic experiences. She knows if she can do it, anyone can.

The ninth of our 10-part series on resilience, this podcast looks at how easy it is – in times of uncertainty and stress – to become a complaining employee. In fact, research shows that most people complain once a minute during a typical conversation. It can be something as simple as complaining about a long line in the grocery store, but it’s a habit many of us find hard to break.

Our goal in this series with resilience expert Kate Fitzsimons has been to help you feel a little bit calmer, a little bit more in control when things aren’t going as you planned. That’s so important today as we face the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To help you avoid becoming a pessimistic, negative person who complains too much and begins to drain the team’s energy and creativity, Kate applies her 3Rs of resilience – recognize, reflect and redirect. She shows you how to overcome those ANTS – automatic negative thoughts – so that you can be the person you want to be on the job and in your personal life as you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– The importance of separating circumstances from your own negative thoughts
– How to redirect your thoughts to the opposite when you’re tempted to complain
– About focusing on what you want and like – rather than what’s going wrong
– How to “hack” your brain so you think about the solution rather than the problem

The eighth of our 10-part series on resilience, this podcast addresses a topic we may not feel comfortable talking about: our reaction to the success of others. It’s easy to say we should always celebrate when good things happen to other people. But what’s your reaction when you work hard on a proposal to a new client, but your teammate’s idea is selected instead? Or, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’re laid off from your job – but your best friend at work isn’t?

Resilience coach Kate Fitzsimons, who has joined us for this 10-part series, tells us there’s no reason to feel guilty when we have these thoughts of jealousy and insecurity. She also shows us how to apply her 3Rs of resilience – recognize, reflect and redirect – when we compare ourselves to others and feel that we’re just not good enough.

So if you want to know:

- Why your mindset causes you to think that the success of others means you have failed
- How to stop judging yourself
- About a new way to look at your competitors
- Why having to work hard at something can be a good thing

Through her eye-opening presentation at high schools, Kate drives home to students the devastating consequences of risk-taking overseas – a message so powerful that she is now supported by the Australian government and major corporations.

Inspired to help others thrive through adversity, Kate’s presentations to students around the world and her popular podcast show, ”Okay. Now What?” help high school and college students develop “response-ability” – the ability to choose their response to any situation based on their perspective of it. Kate’s passion is to provide inspiration and practical advice to help you overcome even the most traumatic experiences. She knows if she can do it, anyone can.

The eighth of our 10-part series on resilience, this podcast addresses a topic we may not feel comfortable talking about: our reaction to the success of others. It’s easy to say we should always celebrate when good things happen to other people. But what’s your reaction when you work hard on a proposal to a new client, but your teammate’s idea is selected instead? Or, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you’re laid off from your job – but your best friend at work isn’t?

Resilience coach Kate Fitzsimons, who has joined us for this 10-part series, tells us there’s no reason to feel guilty when we have these thoughts of jealousy and insecurity. She also shows us how to apply her 3Rs of resilience – recognize, reflect and redirect – when we compare ourselves to others and feel that we’re just not good enough.

So if you want to know:

- Why your mindset causes you to think that the success of others means you have failed
- How to stop judging yourself
- About a new way to look at your competitors
- Why having to work hard at something can be a good thing

In this podcast, Bob Wheeler – a certified public accountant, author and stand-up comedian – talks about how you can have a better emotional relationship with your money. Bob believes that most people don’t realize how their unconscious money beliefs influence their money-related decisions. Today, with the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s not surprising that so many people are fearful and anxious about their finances. In fact, Bob estimates that 85 percent of us will need “financial therapy” to get through the pandemic and its aftermath. His advice also ties in with building your legacy as you determine what’s important to you, how money plays a part in that and why it’s important to lay the groundwork now for the future.

So if you want to know:

- How what you learned about money growing up can influence your decisions now
- Why you can be a victim of your own financial sabotage
- How to start the important money conversation – with your spouse or partner, children or parents – without creating a conflict


About Bob Wheeler

Bob Wheeler, a certified public accountant and stand-up comic, is the author of the new book, The Money Nerve: Navigating the Emotions of Money. Bob wrote the book to help his readers create a healthy relationship with money by navigating the emotional response to money. Bob also offers an online course, “The Money Nerve – The Course to Financial Freedom.” Both the book and the course are designed to help you recognize the emotions around making decisions about money. Bob believes you don’t need to apologize for wanting success, and you need to be aware of how your childhood – and unconscious money beliefs – may still influence your relationship with money today.

Ian Reynolds is a partner and the chief solutions architect at Zibtek, a software development consultancy that focuses on helping businesses build custom software. In this podcast, he talks about the opportunities offered by custom-designed software. Ian has seen the value of companies focusing on their core business objectives and, when they need a particular expertise, going outside to get it. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses will need to be agile and flexible, so they can’t try to do everything. That’s why, Ian explains, it makes sense to look at the cost of doing it yourself vs. hiring a company to build the software system you need to solve your current business problems and ultimately build your legacy.



So if you want to know:

- How the internet is still reshaping the way people do business
- The advantages – internally and externally – of automating what you can
- The importance of working with a long-term partner for your software needs
- Why the specialties within IT call for a team of experts
- How to handle massive datasets and determine what’s relevant for a specific decision


About Ian Reynolds

A partner and the chief solutions architect at Zibtek, Ian Reynolds and his company help Fortune 500 companies, start-ups and firms of all sizes create strategic software that drives revenue, reduces costs and transforms their businesses and market performance. Ian has spent the better part of his career in consulting, working with industries as diverse as finance, oil, gas, retail, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and more. Today his company empowers entrepreneurs, growth companies and large enterprises to achieve greater profitability and efficiency by building and providing them with the right tools. With the accelerated pace of technology development today, Ian believes that businesses that do not intend to innovate will find themselves behind the competition in the next three to five years. That’s why Zibtek now puts 10 percent of its revenue toward an R&D budget to ensure they keep pace with the new technologies that will create new jobs and new opportunities.

In this podcast – the seventh of our 10-part series on resilience – we’ll talk with Kate Fitzsimons about reducing anxiety. That’s more important than ever before as we deal with COVID-19, getting to our new normal and trying to anticipate what will happen next.

Kate, a resilience coach, is also a highly sought after speaker for schools and organizations that influence and work with young people. In this podcast, she shows us how her 3Rs of resilience – recognize, reflect and redirect – can help you understand why you feel what you feel so that you can deal effectively with your emotions. She also reminds us that our own thoughts create our feelings, which drive our actions, which create our results – an important thing to keep in mind when we feel anxious about the pandemic or any challenge.

So if you want to know:

- Why you shouldn’t resist negative emotions
- How to separate your negative feelings from who you are as a person
- The five-step process that will help you deal effectively with negative feelings
- How the “50/50 rule” can help you better understand life’s reality
- How to learn to process your emotions

Continuing our 10-part series on resilience, this podcast explores procrastination. My guest, Kate Fitzsimons, explores the three causes of procrastination:

I’m too busy.
I don’t know how.
It’s not going to be good enough.
A highly sought after speaker for schools and organizations that influence and work with young people, Kate had to deal with the loss of her sister in a motor vehicle accident. Her resilience following this tragic death challenges all of us to look at how we may overcome obstacles in our lives, to shape the lives of other people in a positive way. In this podcast, Kate explains how her Three Rs – recognize, reflect and redirect – can help you refocus your efforts when you’re tempted to put off difficult tasks.

So if you want to know:

- How to coach your brain to get the hard things done
- Why it’s important to understand that time is relative and being too busy is a mindset
- Why it’s better to be the best learner rather than the smartest one in the room
- How to shift your mindset from perfectionist to progress
- How to make feedback your friend

Named one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence in 2016, Kate Fitzsimons is an international speaker, certified life coach & director of the Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation – a charity established in honor of her sister Nicole who died in an accident in Thailand in 2012.

Determined to save others from a similar tragic fate, Kate left her corporate career in 2013 to dedicate herself to educating young people about the importance of travel safety. Through her eye-opening presentation at high schools, Kate drives home to students the devastating consequences of risk-taking overseas – a message so powerful that she is now supported by the Australian government and major corporations.

Inspired to help others thrive through adversity, Kate’s presentations to students around the world and her popular podcast show, ”Okay. Now What?” help high school and college students develop “response-ability” – the ability to choose their response to any situation based on their perspective of it. Kate’s passion is to provide inspiration and practical advice to help you overcome even the most traumatic experiences. She knows if she can do it, anyone can.

In this podcast, Brian Gill – computer scientist, entrepreneur and angel investor – talks about what we’ve learned about cyber security as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic … and what we need to think about now as we come out of the pandemic environment. Brian is the chairman of Gillware, which provides cyber risk assessments, data recovery, incident response and digital forensic services. He reminds all of us that you need a firewall between your computing devices and the world. Virus protection isn’t enough. Yet a recent security research study showed that, with so many Americans working from home for the first time, there has been a 40 percent increase in the amount of devices open for remote access that aren’t behind any firewall.

So if you want to know:

- Why logging in with just a user name and password isn’t enough
- The whole story about backing up data
- Why thoughtful user permissions – even for the CEO – make sense
- The benefits of a cyber security insurance policy
- Questions to ask when you’re hiring an IT security person


About Brian Gill

Brian Gill is a co-founder of Phoenix Nuclear Labs and served on its board until it spun off SHINE Medical Technologies. These two companies have raised more than 100 million dollars of venture capital. He currently serves as chairman of Gillware, which provides cyber risk assessments, data recovery, incident response and digital forensic services.

Brian’s career in cyber risk management began in his basement when, with a friend, he started looking at what they could do to provide security. Today he assesses the cyber security of businesses of all sizes by looking at the presence – or absence of – multi-factor authentication, the need and approach to audit back-up processes, user permissions and other factors. With the rise of cyberattacks today – especially with more people working from home – Brian believes in taking on cyber security one step at a time. As he explains, “We just need to get better. We don’t need to get perfect.”

In this podcast, Andrew Phelps talks about user experience (UX) and the importance of meeting and exceeding your user’s expectations. Andrew is a partner and director of design for User10, a web development agency that specializes in product strategy and design. He has worked with start-ups, entrepreneurs and people in various levels of large organizations, demonstrating that thoughtful design can solve problems with their digital footprint.

Today UX is more important than ever before as businesses move into the post-pandemic world. Companies will have to take a critical look at how they get their message out. What can they do more efficiently, more effectively and in a more targeted way? They’ll also need to adapt to the new world of working remotely.

As Andrew explains, UX – what the user sees and interacts with on a screen – is just a small part of the overall customer experience design, which is a “process, not the end product.” UX is not a quick fix; it can’t make a good product out of nothing. But UX can go a long way to making a good digital product – website or app – great.

So if you want to know:

- Why UX is a collaborative process that involves conversations with customers and all internal stakeholders
- How an improved user experience can lead to greater internal and external efficiencies, resulting in a better ROI
- About the timeline for software development – and the importance of taking the time to understand your customers in the process


About Andrew Phelps

Andrew Phelps has been a user experience designer nearly as long as this job title has been in existence. An expert in digital design and execution, he is regularly asked to speak to groups about design and entrepreneurship and was named one of the Arizona Republic’s “35 Entrepreneurs under 35.” He is well-versed in the challenges of the small business and startup world and has also assisted large corporate clients like GoDaddy and Panasonic.

He encourages companies to recognize the importance of the user experience since this is one place you interact directly with people – and an important touchpoint for your business. That’s why a good user experience on your website or with your app can have a positive impact on your business and your ROI.

The fourth of our 10-part series on resilience, this podcast looks at a common insecurity that we all battle: worrying about what other people think of us. Resilience coach Kate Fitzsimons discusses how to apply her 3Rs – recognize, reflect and redirect – to help you stress less about other people’s opinions of you.

It’s human nature to want the approval of others. When people praise your actions, you give yourself permission to feel good about yourself and to feel confident in your abilities. But what happens when people aren’t paying attention or, even worse, their words cause you to feel that you’re not good enough at your job or for that promotion? Kate’s 3Rs of resilience can help you stop obsessing about other people’s opinions. She offers practical advice on managing your own thinking to eliminate the negative thoughts that can hold you back from advancing in your career and in building your legacy.

So if you want to know:

- Why the only person who can hurt your feelings is yourself
- How to stop trying to control other people’s opinions of you
- The difference between constructive feedback and someone acting out of their own insecurities
- Why it’s okay to let people be wrong about you

– How people make buying decisions

This podcast is the first in a 10-part series on resilience, a topic that has become vitally important with the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before the virus became a part of our business and social lives, studies showed that 85 percent of companies recognized that their employees felt overwhelmed. In fact, global leaders said their employees’ stress level was second on their list of business concerns – behind only their company’s leadership position in the world.

Today we’re even more overwhelmed and stressed. So how do we find resilience – to make a positive contribution at work and to deal with stress at home as our children bring us their concerns? This podcast is the first of 10 that will present strategies to help you become resilient. In terms of legacy building, we’ll also look at what comes next. How can you lead and leave something meaningful behind when faced with the current challenges?

My guest for this podcast series is Kate Fitzsimons, a highly sought after speaker for schools and organizations that influence and work with young people. Kate’s story of reconciliation and resilience following her sister’s tragic death in a motor vehicle accident challenges all of us to look at how to overcome obstacles in our lives, to shape the lives of other people in a positive way. In this initial podcast in the series, Kate introduces us to the first of the “three Rs” that she has used to successfully deal with life’s challenges – at work and at home.

So if you want to know:

– What’s behind the first of the three Rs – to recognize
– How millennials are teaching us to ask the hard questions
– The importance of choosing your response to events you can’t control
– How to separate facts from the story you’re telling yourself
– How to get rid of ANTS – Automatic Negative Thoughts

About Kate Fitzsimmons

Named one of Australia’s 100 Women of Influence in 2016, Kate Fitzsimons is an international speaker, certified life coach & director of the Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation – a charity established in honor of her sister Nicole who died in an accident in Thailand in 2012.

Determined to save others from a similar tragic fate, Kate left her corporate career in 2013 to dedicate herself to educating young people about the importance of travel safety. Through her eye-opening presentation at high schools, Kate drives home to students the devastating consequences of risk-taking overseas – a message so powerful that she is now supported by the Australian government and major corporations.

Inspired to help others thrive through adversity, Kate’s presentations to students around the world and her popular podcast show, ”Okay. Now What?” help high school and college students develop “response-ability” – the ability to choose their response to any situation based on their perspective of it. Kate’s passion is to provide inspiration and practical advice to help you overcome even the most traumatic experiences. She knows if she can do it, anyone can.

In this podcast, business coach and author Sallie Holder shares with us how she moved from the “rock middle” as a successful employment attorney to her true passion: an entrepreneur who coaches others how to make the bold career choices that lead to lasting success and happiness. Sallie believes it’s never too late to create the change that can help you become the person you want to be. Today, as we look beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, her advice is more valuable than ever. It’s also essential for anyone looking to build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

– About the “rock middle” where you’re caught between your employer’s expectations, what you expect of yourself and a true sense of purpose and meaning
– Why you can’t apply the same framework you learned in the corporate world to the entrepreneurial world
– Why you shouldn’t waste energy allowing the pandemic to change your destination
– How “Sunday night planning” can help you focus on things that can move the needle on your revenue stream

About Sallie Holder

As a nationally-recognized public speaker and business coach, Sallie Holder has spent more than fifteen years helping businesses, entrepreneurs and employees identify and break down barriers to success. She is the author of Hitting Rock Middle: The Roadmap from Empty Success to True Fulfillment. The idea behind her book led to the development of BRIMM – her Beyond Rock Middle Movement coaching community for women – which provides a unique group coaching environment for women entrepreneurs to help them reach the next level of success.

With a degree in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University and a law degree, Sallie practiced labor and employment law for more than 10 years, advising small companies as well as giants like FedEx and Michelin. Passionate about the growth of businesses, Sallie became an entrepreneur and started her own coaching business, helping others make the bold choices that lead to lasting success and happiness.

Her work – whether one-on-one, in group workshops or at speaking events – helps people bridge the gap between where they are now and their true potential. Sallie fundamentally believes that work doesn’t have to be hard, and everyone deserves to love what they do.

This is the second podcast in which we look at how businesses and employees will need to change after the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re talking with Chad Peterson, an expert business broker, author and the founder of Peterson Acquisitions. In this podcast Chad shares his thoughts about the workplace of the future and the changing role of face-to-face interactions, which have been such a significant part of the sales process in the past.

Chad describes business as “a contact sport,” but he acknowledges that online interactions have already replaced face-to-face selling in many industries. As we get through the COVID-19 crisis, Chad believes that we have to do business differently as video becomes more and more important for nearly every company.

So if you want to know:

– How to really connect with people digitally
– The continuing importance – and challenges – of establishing trust when your customers can only see you on a screen
– How businesses are likely to invest their money after the pandemic
– Why it’s more important than ever for your business to have a real “team” culture

About Chad Peterson

The founder of Peterson Acquisitions, an award-winning M&A firm, Chad is a self-made entrepreneur who has started, built and sold six of his own businesses. Today Peterson Acquisitions works with companies all over the U.S. and also has a number of international clients.

Known for his aggressive style, resiliency and humble roots, Chad was recently named as the number one business broker in the U.S. He has been highlighted by Inc. Magazine, Forbes and a number of other business magazines that have taken note of his work. He is the author of From Blue to White: Quit Your J.O.B. A Working Man’s Guide to Self Employment and Swinging Doors: A Guide to Selling Your Company.

This podcast is the first of two with Chad Peterson, an expert business broker, author and the founder of Peterson Acquisitions. Our topic: how businesses and employees will need to change after we get through the COVID-19 pandemic. In this podcast, Chad shares his thoughts on how long before businesses recover and what it will take to do so. We also ask Chad about the future of mergers and acquisitions. As so many businesses have come to rely on M&A for growth, how could that change in the future?

Chad believes that businesses that have been struggling in recent months with any of the Three M’s – marketing, messaging and management – may not survive. And right now survival is the key.

So if you want to know:

What owners need to do now to stay in business
What the toilet paper crisis tells us about our real willingness to take care of one another
How business relationships will change as our economy recovers
What a good business alliance looks like


About Chad Peterson

The founder of Peterson Acquisitions, an award-winning M&A firm, Chad is a self-made entrepreneur who has started, built and sold six of his own businesses. Today Peterson Acquisitions works with companies all over the U.S. and also has a number of international clients.

Known for his aggressive style, resiliency and humble roots, Chad was recently named as the number one business broker in the U.S. He has been highlighted by Inc. Magazine, Forbes and a number of other business magazines that have taken note of his work. He is the author of From Blue to White: Quit Your J.O.B. A Working Man’s Guide to Self Employment and Swinging Doors: A Guide to Selling Your Company.

In this podcast Merrily Orsini, thought leader in care for the aging, talks about the role home health care can play as we plan our lives and take care of older family members. She shares with us her thoughts on how our legacy will be affected by who we’ll be as life ends and what we’ll give back.

The president/CEO of corecubed – a marketing firm dedicated to helping aging care providers grow their businesses – Merrily has extensive marketing expertise in the home health, hospice and home-centered care industries. Her knowledge is particularly relevant as we move forward after the COVID-19 pandemic. And, because corecubed has always been a virtual business, she brings valuable insight into the working-from-home model.

So if you want to know:

- How the pandemic has affected our thoughts about home care
- The role technology plays in terms of caring for our older population
- Why the non-medical, long-term care industry continues to grow
- Why age is not the relevant factor for long-term care needs
- About the real question regarding end-of-life care: “How do you want to live?”

About Merrily Orsini

Merrily Orsini has nearly 40 years’ experience in the business of aging care. She successfully grew and sold her first company – a geriatric care managed home care agency – earning her the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1996. She founded corecube in 1998 to help aging care providers grow their businesses.

She is the past Chair of the Private Duty Home Care Association of America and has served on the boards of the National Association for Home Care and Hospice Care and the National Association of Geriatric Care Managers. In 2017 Merrily received the Silver Lifetime Achievement Stevie Award for Women in Business. She is a leader in the Help Choose Home initiative and hosts a podcast that focuses on helping caretakers make decisions about home care.

In this podcast Chad Peterson, an expert business broker and the founder of Peterson Acquisitions, talks with us about the future of mergers and acquisitions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The rug just got pulled out from underneath us,” Chad says. He speaks from experience since he lost his job as a commercial pilot after September 11 … and then, after building several companies, lost everything in the 2008 recession.

Today Chad’s award-winning merger and acquisition firm handles business transactions in the $1 million to $25 million range – and some even higher. The secret to his success? Resiliency. After the setbacks of 2001 and 2008, he was able to assess his current situation, meet with those closest to him and take the action that was needed to keep going.

- The best time to sell your business
- How to position your company now to attract buyers in the future

In this podcast Glain Roberts-McCabe, a renowned leadership trainer and a “leader at heart,” tells us how she developed The Roundtable. Since 2007, The Roundtable has taken a unique approach to executive coaching by bringing leaders together to teach each other. As an aggregator of knowledge and expertise, The Roundtable offers a number of programs, all based on the concept of group – or peer-to-peer – coaching.

Glain explains that every program The Roundtable offers starts with the strategy and priorities of the participants’ organizations. She believes that leaders are there to do a particular job, “We’re hired to deliver results.” The Roundtable programs help leaders develop their own coaching skills as they share and exchange information about the specific challenges they currently face in their organizations.

So if you want to know:

- What group coaching is – and what it isn’t
- How to get the “big bang for the buck” behavior change
- Why promotions and continued career success depend on “how you’re showing up”
- The difference between being a good mentor and being a great coach

About Glain Roberts-McCabe

Glain Roberts-McCabe is the founder and president of The Roundtable, a place where leaders come together to cultivate their leadership. Her company is a natural outgrowth of her personal mission to create a movement of intentional leadership. The Roundtable peer-to-peer coaching programs – that rely on leaders teaching leaders – have earned Glain a number of awards, including the prestigious Gold Award at the Canadian Awards of Training Excellence.

She is featured in the textbook, The Context of Business: Understanding the Canadian Business Environment,” and was named the Best External Consulting Provider in Canada. Glain also received The Roundtable Silver Award for Women-Led Business at the International Stevie Awards and the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award. She is the author of the leadership book, Did I Really Sign Up for This? Her new book, The Grassroots Leadership Revolution, a do-it-yourself approach to career management, will be published shortly.

Glain explains that every program The Roundtable offers starts with the strategy and priorities of the participants’ organizations. She believes that leaders are there to do a particular job, “We’re hired to deliver results.” The Roundtable programs help leaders develop their own coaching skills as they share and exchange information about the specific challenges they currently face in their organizations.

So if you want to know:

- What group coaching is – and what it isn’t
- How to get the “big bang for the buck” behavior change
- Why promotions and continued career success depend on “how you’re showing up”
- The difference between being a good mentor and being a great coach

About Glain Roberts-McCabe

Glain Roberts-McCabe is the founder and president of The Roundtable, a place where leaders come together to cultivate their leadership. Her company is a natural outgrowth of her personal mission to create a movement of intentional leadership. The Roundtable peer-to-peer coaching programs – that rely on leaders teaching leaders – have earned Glain a number of awards, including the prestigious Gold Award at the Canadian Awards of Training Excellence.

She is featured in the textbook, The Context of Business: Understanding the Canadian Business Environment,” and was named the Best External Consulting Provider in Canada. Glain also received The Roundtable Silver Award for Women-Led Business at the International Stevie Awards and the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award. She is the author of the leadership book, Did I Really Sign Up for This? Her new book, The Grassroots Leadership Revolution, a do-it-yourself approach to career management, will be published shortly.

Brian’s thoughts are particularly timely today in light of the business challenges we all face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although Brian admits he hasn’t thought much about building his legacy, in our discussion, he took time to look at the journey of his career, how he has built his network and how all of us should think about our lives differently as we build our legacy.

So if you want to know:

- The importance of being self-aware and recognizing the unique talents of those around you
- What your decision-making process says about you
- Why companies need to make technology decisions at the department level – rather than from the top down
- Why today’s business challenges – as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic – are likely to lead to a period of great innovation

About Brian Weaver

The CEO of Torch AI, an artificial intelligence company, Brian has more than 20 years’ experience leading mission-driven, high-growth technology companies. Today his company helps leading organizations leverage artificial intelligence via proprietary enterprise data management software.

Brian has launched and acquired several companies, all focused on technology-enabled services and data connectivity. His companies’ nearly 1,300 clients include the U.S. Defense Department and H&R Block. He received the Defense Innovation Award at DITAC in 2017 and has also been recognized by Forbes Magazine and as the Small Business of the Year by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.

Building My Legacy
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/building-my-legacy/]]>2116falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-34-julie-beckerman-on-navigating-relationships-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--25657660
In this podcast Julie Beckerman talks about relationships – their importance in building a legacy and the challenges they present. Julie specializes in helping people redefine their relationships as they navigate divorce and co-parenting. That’s so important today as so many people deal with divorce and adapt to their new, blended families. But her experience can also help all of us as we balance a family and career and encounter individuals with high-conflict personalities in all aspects of life.

It isn’t easy to sustain a relationship, and it’s even more difficult to rebuild one. When you are building a career and developing leadership capabilities, there’s never enough time for everything, and the challenges can be overwhelming. It’s not unusual to wake up one day and ask, “What is happening to my relationships?” Julie’s life story, her insights and her experience working with clients going through the divorce process will be helpful to all of us who are re-evaluating what matters in life as we build our legacy.

So if you want to know:

- Why it’s critical to differentiate between judgment and facts
- How to navigate the “emotional overwhelm” that’s part of life
- The importance of deciding where to direct your energy
- How to find the language to deal with high-conflict situations

In this podcast Tom Schwab, founder and Chief Evangelist Officer of Interview Valet, takes a close look at podcasting. His company, a leader in podcast interview marketing, helps authors, athletes, entrepreneurs and organizations of all sizes use podcasts to get their message out. As Tom says, with Interview Valet, “You’re the guest and we take care of the rest.”

Tom believes in using podcasts only when they can deliver real results. And that depends on three things: Your message, your market and your machine. You need to have stories to tell and not just a product to sell. You need to know your target audience and how to reach them most effectively. And you need “the machine” – a website and social media presence that position you as the expert in your field. If you have the message, market and machine, podcasts are a powerful way to tell your story. In fact, they can turn listeners into leads … and leads into customers.

So if you want to know:

Whether you should guest on a podcast or host your own
How to develop an audience for your podcast
How to prevent “podfade”
What Tom’s grandfather knew about business that’s still true today


About Tom Schwab

A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Tom started his career managing nuclear power plants in the Navy. He then worked for a Fortune 500 medical device company in engineering, operations and marketing. He discovered the power of the internet and podcasts when he sold durable medical equipment directly to consumers, turning his regional eCommerce company into a national leader. The key to his success? Using podcasts to build the trust that is needed to get the lifetime value from customers. When Tom realized others could benefit from the knowledge he gained about podcast marketing, he founded Interview Valet, which offers a unique Targeted Interview Process and concierge services to take the trouble out of podcasts and produce real results for clients.

- Since the “old age bus” arrives earlier than you expect, when do you begin building a legacy?
- The number one challenge you face as a leader when building your legacy
- Why does creating a legacy look like building a community mural?

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- The biggest challenges people face in legacy building involves developing meaningful relationships.
- Success in leadership and in legacy building requires you know who you really are.
- Design your community mural and establish your place in that picture.

Building My Legacy
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/building-my-legacy/]]>1764falsefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-30-karen-whitaker-interview-thoughts-on-the-leaders-of-the-future-building-my-legacy-with-lois-sonstegard--23988446
In the last of our series of five podcasts with Karen Whitaker, Vice President at Grin + Beam, Lois Sonstegard asks Karen to describe what future leaders will look like. In today’s competitive talent market – in which employees are likely to change jobs every two or three years – it’s important to look at the future differently. What can you do to keep your employees more engaged and productive while you have them? And is there anything you can do to keep your best employees longer?

People want to feel valued, trusted and empowered – by their organizations and their managers. The most progressive and successful organizations are listening to their employees and taking steps to foster an environment of trust. Karen shares examples of work she has done to create a trusting environment.

So if you want to know:

- What it takes to encourage millennials to stay with an organization
- Why future leaders will need to be experts in cultural management
- How some companies are able to attract and keep good talent
- Why integration is just as important as diversity

In the second of our series of five podcasts with Karen Whitaker, Vice President at Grin + Beam, Lois Sonstegard asks her about corporate culture and working within an organization that has two – or even more – cultures.

Understanding the culture or cultures within an organization is critical to your success in the workplace and to building your legacy. You’ll face additional challenges, however, when you work for an organization with more than one culture. Karen’s experience – in a job in which she divided her time equally between “corporate” and “sales” – has important lessons for all of us.

So if you want to know:

- How to define “corporate culture”
- Why organizations with more than one corporate culture present special challenges
- How gender, race and overall attitude affect how we respond to corporate culture
- What to do and what not to do to grow, develop and effectively promote employees

In this episode, Dr. Bryan McElderry talks about the importance of stress management. As a pharmacist, he observed people coming to the pharmacy to fill prescriptions. As he talked with these customers, he realized that the medicines he gave them didn’t deal with the root causes of their problems. This observation led him to look for better ways to deal with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and other conditions. He realized that, if he could help people reduce the stress factors in their lives, he could improve their overall quality of life. Today, he coaches executives and individuals on how to manage stress and live healthier lives.

So, if you want to know:

- What is the impact of stress on the quality of life?
- Who can benefit from managing stress?
- What practical steps can you take to reduce stress?
- How does Bryan measure successful management of stress?

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- The importance of rituals in stress reduction
- The process that Bryan teaches
- The challenges people face in managing and reducing their stress levels
- The importance of gratitude in stress reduction.

About Dr. Bryan McElderry

Dr. Bryan McElderry is a holistic life coach and business mentor to wellness professionals and life coaches. After earning his doctorate in pharmacy from St. Louis College of Pharmacy, he worked in a community pharmacy setting. This one-on-one contact with patients helped Bryan discover a void in health care that he realized had to be filled. He began with his own mind and body transformation and then was inspired to help others evolve into the best version of themselves.

Through his holistic health coaching practice, Envizion Health, he has helped hundreds of people – by using functional nutrition and mindfulness tools rather than synthetic prescriptions. Bryan’s goal is to empower people by investing in themselves so they can serve their family, friends, spouses, businesses and careers at the highest level.

In this episode, Bill Crane, a Chicago-based real estate broker, shares his dream: Developing 1000 leaders into a “Billion Dollar Engine” of millionaires who roll up their sleeves and address societal problems. Leaders are leaders because they know how to solve problems. Bill thinks it is easy to give money to organizations and causes. Legacy building, he believes, requires going to the next step — a process that goes beyond giving money away. He feels that, to leave a mark, a leader needs to work alongside others to develop a systematic process that addresses and solves problems. In this podcast, Bill Crane shares how he approaches and teaches legacy building.

So, if you want to know:

- Why do leaders want to build and leave a legacy?
- How does Bill leverage his real estate business to build his legacy?
- What process does Bill use?
- How does Bill measure his success?

…Bill provides incredible insight.

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- Bill Crane’s dream to create 1000 millionaires who work together to solve the problems in our society.
- The process Bill uses.
- The challenges Bill has faced as he has developed himself as a leader and as he builds his legacy.
- The one thing for which Bill is grateful that has shaped his life.
- There is a life beyond your current work—know how to identify it and live it.

About Bill Crane

Over the past 27 years, Bill Crane has built a large following and impacted the lives of more than one million people through his books, lead generation and sales conversion systems and the Real Estate Insider Movement, which he founded to change the way people buy, sell and leverage real estate.

A born marketer, Bill’s sales career started when he was just five years old, selling pine cones, candy bars and newspapers door-to-door. As a teenager, he watched infomercials instead of cartoons. He learned valuable lessons about competition, hard work and discipline as a wrestler. In the Navy Junior ROTC, the Seabees taught him “big picture thinking” while the Seals taught him the “art of winning.” Within a year after graduating from high school, he started his first company and was on his way to making his first million dollars.

The Real Estate Insider Movement grew out of Bill’s Real Estate Insider Newspaper, which published more than 100 million ads and generated millions of leads for the best realtors in the world. At one point, the Real Estate Insider Newspaper was the fastest-growing, non-venture capital backed, privately owned real estate-based newspaper marketing company in the world. Through his training, coaching and consulting, Bill empowers people to become “Real Estate Insiders” with the business tools and skills that make them more money in less time and create a culture of success without limitations or barriers.

Bill sees Real Estate Insiders as a new breed of entrepreneur — smarter, faster and passionate. They create wealth, protect client equity and put ethics before commissions. They define their own destiny, create their own luck and build empires for themselves and their clients. They’re motivated, because in Bill’s words, they know they are “only one deal away.”

Bill also gives back to society, supporting non-profit organizations like Operation Underground Railroad whose goal is to end child slavery around the world. This non-profit has gathered a “jump team” of former CIA, Navy Seals and Special Ops personnel to lead coordinated efforts to identify child traffickers, surgically extract victims and prosecute the criminals.

About Vince Palko

Vince literally “wrote the book” on cartoon marketing when he published The Art of Selling Using Cartoons in 2006. Since then, he has worked with small and mid-sized businesses to create sales funnels that convert cold leads into sales. His success is a result of his belief that he and the other talented artists at AdToons are marketers first. Their goal: Eliminate boring PowerPoint presentations and talking head videos on web sites and in webinars … and replace them with engaging video-marketing campaigns that deliver more leads, more sales and more profits for his clients.

Vince’s own background combines creativity and fitness. A star linebacker in high school and at Bowling Green State University, Vince was enshrined in the sports hall of fame at both his high school and college. He also played and coached football in Hamburg, Germany, and has completed several triathlons. His athletic experience taught Vince that sports are a great metaphor for handling life’s challenges.

In his book, Tackling Life’s Problems: Super Success Principles Taught by a Middle Linebacker, Vince reveals a simple strategy to overcome common problems or, in his words, to “face your problems head-on before they tackle you.” Vince is also the author of Gridiron Mind Power: How to Make the BIG PLAY More Often and More Easily – Even If You are Slower than Molasses and Dreams DOodle Come True.

As a coach, Vince has helped business owners throughout the world learn how to communicate more effectively through drawing and how to conceptualize to produce vision maps and learning applications.

About Marshall Goldsmith

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith has been recognized as one of the top ten Most-Influential Business Thinkers in the World and a top-ranked executive coach.

Marshall’s mission is simple: He wants to help successful people achieve positive, lasting change in their behavior — for themselves, their people and their teams. Marshall earned his Ph.D. from UCLA’s Anderson School of Management where he was recognized as the Distinguished Alumnus of the Year. For four decades, he has helped more than 150 top CEOs and executives overcome limiting beliefs and behaviors to achieve greater success.

As an executive educator and coach, Marshall helps people understand how their beliefs and environments can trigger negative behaviors. Through simple and practical advice, he helps people achieve and sustain positive behavioral change.

Marshall is the author or editor of 35 books, including two New York Times bestsellers, MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, which was a Wall Street Journal #1 business book and winner of the Harold Longman Award for Business Book of the Year. His other books include Succession: Are You Ready? – a WSJ bestseller; The Leader of the Future – a BusinessWeek bestseller; and three American Library Association Choice award winners for academic books of the year: The AMA Handbook of Leadership, The Organization of the Future 2 and The Leadership Investment.

Marshall’s work has been recognized by nearly every business publication and professional organization in his field, including the Harvard Business Review, which named him the World’s #1 Leadership Thinker; the Institute for Management Studies, which gave him one of only two Lifetime Achievement Awards ever awarded; the American Management Association, which included him in the 50 great thinkers and leaders who have influenced the field of management over the past 80 years; BusinessWeek as one of its 50 great leaders in America; The Wall Street Journal in its top ten executive educators’ list; Forbes as one of its five most-respected executive coaches; and similar designations by other national and international leadership and executive coaching associations.

For 10 years, Marshall served on the Board of the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, which provides educational opportunities and resources to help nonprofits become more efficient and improve their skills. He has also been a volunteer teacher for U.S. Army Generals, Navy Admirals, Girl Scout executives as well as leaders of the International and American Red Cross, where he was named a National Volunteer of the Year.

His website, www.MarshallGoldsmith.com, includes more than 300 free articles, columns, interviews, webcasts, podcasts, audios and videos. He encourages people to “Read, listen to, watch, download, copy and send these materials to anyone in your company you think might benefit. Even better, please share with your favorite charity, spiritual or non-profit organization. If you or anyone you know finds value in these resources, it will make me feel great!”

Marshall loves helping people and believes, “Life is good.”

Description

In this episode, Frank Wagner shares his learnings as an executive coach. He started his career in the academic world, developing emerging leaders. While doing his doctoral work, Frank met Marshall Goldsmith. They formed a partnership and have worked together developing a coaching process that is so effective, they guarantee results.

So if you want to:

- Why stakeholders want to be involved in the leadership improvement process
- The importance of follow-up
- Learn the importance of obtaining quantifiable measures of behavior change.

About Us
Dr. Frank Wagner has been coaching managers and high potential individual contributors extensively since 1999 when Marshall Goldsmith asked for help in coaching a group of high potential managers.

Frank Wagner helps leaders achieve positive, long-term change in behavior. He combines his experience since 1976 in developing leaders through leadership workshops and leadership coach.

Frank’s specialty is leadership behavior, with an emphasis on commitment, teamwork, influence across organizational boundaries, coaching, and faster strategic planning and execution. Along with Marshall Goldsmith, he was one of the first coaches practicing results based coaching where fees are charged only when those who work with the leader determine there was improvement in leadership behavior.

His methodology is based upon helping leaders improve in their leadership behavior using a discipline based upon three principles: These are:

• Use the leader’s stakeholders as key to successful long term change in behavior
• Emphasize feedforward (suggestions for the future)
• Change both the leaders behavior and perception of stakeholders in parallel

Leaders being coached learn and follow a specific 7-step process of involving stakeholders to ensure positive change in behavior. Frank’s coaching experience has included working with CEO’s, COO’s, CFO’s, CTO’s, CMO’s, Executive V.P.s, Technical Fellows, V.P.’s, Directors, and Hi Potentials.

Today Frank, with his partner Chris Coffey, overseas the train-the-coach process at the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management, Alliant International University.

In this capacity, he co-developed and trained all coaches in the Marshall Goldsmith Partners network. Prior to that, he was responsible for all training of Marshall Goldsmith’s network “The Alliance for Strategic Leadership.” He is the principle author of: The Coach’s Playbook; The Leader as Coach Playbook; and The Leaders Guide to Encouraging Development. Frank is now a partner with The Marshall Goldsmith Group.

Description

In this episode, Sally Helgesen shares the unique perspectives women bring to leadership. In particular, Sally discusses the roadblocks women often put in the way of their own career path and offers suggestions on how to overcome those roadblocks. Although many of the roadblocks are experienced by both genders, women often process and respond to these roadblocks differently. Sally’s insights enable both men and women to work together more effectively and to draw upon their unique contributions. An understanding of how to overcome these roadblocks is important if women are to build their legacy.

So if you want to know:

- How men and women process things differently
- What underlying beliefs limit women’s ascendency in an organization
- What behaviors are most likely to hold women back
- What a woman leader can to do overcome the roadblocks in her career path
- …Sally provides incredible insight.

Tune in now!

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- The behaviors Sally identified that are most likely to hold women back
- The “either” “or” beliefs that Sally sees as undermining the future development of women
- The roadblocks Sally has discovered that women place in their path:
- Women are often reluctant to claim their achievements and wait, expecting others to spontaneously notice and value their contribution
- Women ruminate for a longer period of time after an event or meeting, leading to paralysis and even depression
- Women have a wide-angle view or radar that enables them to gather what may be important perspectives; while men have a more linear-focused view and are therefore often seen as more “visionary” than women leaders.
- Sally’s specific suggestions to help women overcome the barriers they may put in their career path and, as a result, achieve great success.

About Sally Helgesen

Sally Helgesen, a best-selling author, speaker and leadership coach, has been recognized by Forbes as the world’s premier expert on women’s leadership.

By identifying the 12 habits that could hold women back and explaining how to overcome these roadblocks, the book has become essential reading for successful women who seek to move to a higher level and realize their full potential.

Sally’s previous books include The Female Advantage: Women’s Ways of Leadership. Considered a classic in its field, this book has been continuously in print since 1990. Her The Female Vision: Women’s Real Power at Work explores how women’s strategic insights can strengthen their careers. And The Web of Inclusion: A New Architecture for Building Great Organizations, which is credited with bringing the language of inclusion into business practice, was cited by The Wall Street Journal as one of the best books on leadership of all time.

In this episode, Denise Hummel , J. D., and Lois Sonstegard discuss why a process of inclusion is essential for the health and well-being of an organization and its employees. Without inclusion employees lack a sense of hope and become disengaged from the workplace. On the other hand, as inclusive work environments are created, leaders emerge who passionately work to improve the lives of not only their employees but of their communities, both near and far. This is the essence of legacy building.

So if you want to:

- Understand the concept of “belonging” in an organizational context
- Know the single most essential ingredient for organizational connection
- Understand the importance of hope for the sustainability of a thriving organization
- Prevent spending time shutting people down (you’re different from me) rather than helping people to open up
- Know the 3 basic and foundational ingredients for inclusion in organizations

Tune in now!

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- Why is hope the essential ingredient underlying engagement and inclusion.
- The three R’s of inclusion:
- Receptive—the ability to accept and be curious about one another
- Reflective-the ability to be self-aware of our own biases and the ability to be transparent about our decision-making based upon our biases
- Revitalizing—the ability to be our best selves so that we can inspire others based upon their observed behavior of us
- Re-What can Executive Teams do to get the most out of their Boards of Director?
- The essential ingredient to legacy building: impacting people’s lives for the better.

In this episode, Denise Hummel , J. D., and Lois Sonstegard discuss why a process of inclusion is essential for the health and well-being of an organization and its employees. Without inclusion employees lack a sense of hope and become disengaged from the workplace. On the other hand, as inclusive work environments are created, leaders emerge who passionately work to improve the lives of not only their employees but of their communities, both near and far. This is the essence of legacy building.

So if you want to:

- Understand the concept of “belonging” in an organizational context
- Know the single most essential ingredient for organizational connection
- Understand the importance of hope for the sustainability of a thriving organization
- Prevent spending time shutting people down (you’re different from me) rather than helping people to open up
- Know the 3 basic and foundational ingredients for inclusion in organizations

Tune in now!

In this Podcast we will discuss:

- Why is hope the essential ingredient underlying engagement and inclusion.
- The three R’s of inclusion:
- Receptive—the ability to accept and be curious about one another
- Reflective-the ability to be self-aware of our own biases and the ability to be transparent about our decision-making based upon our biases
- Revitalizing—the ability to be our best selves so that we can inspire others based upon their observed behavior of us
- Re-What can Executive Teams do to get the most out of their Boards of Director?
- The essential ingredient to legacy building: impacting people’s lives for the better.

Denise is the Chief Executive Officer of Lead Inclusively, Inc., a consultancy dedicated to the connection between inclusion and business performance. An attorney, with a history of landmark cases, she is a serial entrepreneur and business consultant who built and sold her cross-cultural business to Ernst & Young (EY), joining them as a Principal.
