Episode #086: Leading with Intention with Mindy Hall, PhD

Every Moment is a Choice

by

Mindy HallI am delighted to welcome today’s guest. Mindy Hall, PhD, has over 25 years of successful results and experience working with leaders in Fortune 50 companies.

In her new book, Leading with Intention: Every Moment is a Choice, Mindy says that leadership begins with self-awareness. You have the power, she says, to choose the impact you want to have.

Every interaction is an opportunity. Every action has an impact. Every moment is a choice.

Whether you’re presenting to an entire organization or talking one-on-one with a colleague – every interaction is a chance to influence and inspire others to achieve extraordinary results.

Your ability to do that, Mindy says, depends on two factors: 1) How aware you are of your impact, and 2) The care and discipline with which you choose your actions, day-by-day, moment-by-moment.

Episode #085: Beat Fear and Slay Rejection Once and For All

Jia Jiang, author of Rejection Proof

by

Jia JiangToday’s guest, Jia Jiang, has carved out quite a niche for himself.

In a relatively short period of time, he has become known simply as the “Rejection Guy.”

If you’ve ever had to deal with fear, rejection, failure or all three, then this episode is especially for you.

Jia’s brand new book is based on his rejection therapy research and is called Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection.

For 100 days straight, Jia sought to approach a single stranger and make a sometimes silly, sometimes outlandish request. Though incredibly difficult – even scary – in the beginning, Jia discovered that, like most things we tend to dread, each successive attempt resulted in slightly less and less fear.

He also discovered methods for helping defuse his fears and hesitations, increasing his level of confidence throughout. It’s a fascinating conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Episode #084: Discover Exactly What Your Customers Want to Buy

Guest: Ryan Levesque author of Ask

by

ryan levesqueToday’s guest, Ryan Levesque, is a guy who, a few years ago at age 30, nearly lost his life.

This event spurred Ryan to share his trade secret. After his near-death experience, Ryan realized more than anything that he wanted to share what he calls his Ask Formula with as many people as possible.

And, despite the fact he is a highly-paid and sought after consultant in the area of sales funnels – his secret’s specialization – he decided the best way to share it with a wider audience was to put it all in a book.

It’s the book we chat about in today’s episode and it’s called Ask: The Counterintuitive Online Formula to Discover Exactly What Your Customers Want to Buy…Create a Mass of Raving Fans… and Take Any Business to the Next Level.

Especially if Personal and Professional Growth are a Priority

by

joggerToday, I’m delighted to bring to you the 5 podcasts I believe you must listen to if personal and professional growth are important to you.

As I finished putting this list together, I realized all five happen to be hosted by authors. Go figure. It honestly wasn’t intentional on my part, but it doesn’t surprise me one bit. As you probably know, I consider today’s business book authors to be among our brightest minds.

So, in no particular order, here are five podcasts I strongly believe to be worthy of your time especially if you consider personal and professional growth a priority.

Episode #082: One Bed, One Bank Account with Derek and Carrie Olsen

Better Conversations on Money and Marriage

by

derek olsenMy guest today is one half of the Olsen team otherwise known as Derek and Carrie.

These two have a very unique story; one that includes going through a short sale on a house in order to avoid foreclosure, while at the same time planning their wedding. Yikes!

Just a few years removed from that experience they are celebrating parenthood (their daughter is one year old), enjoying the distinction of having written a book together and –  having sold nearly all their possessions to purchase a travel trailer – roaming the country hosting meet ups with fans of their podcast and holding book signing events at local stores.

They are a couple that truly understands what it means to live life in the moment.

In One Bed, One Bank Account: Better Conversations on Money and Marriage, Derek and Carrie share their belief in open, honest and transparent communication on finances in marriage. It was this belief that equipped them to survive, among other things, that short sell.

They share their message of hope in their book, their podcast, and at live speaking engagements around the country.
