Have you ever had an event that upends your life? One of those things that makes you take stock of who you are, what you’re doing, and what’s most important? Today, Belinda talks with Kevin Hoover, who transitioned from corporate management to executive coach. Kevin's journey was spurred by personal circumstances, notably his son's cancer diagnosis, which brought immense stress and challenges. Kevin shares how he learned to manage stress through reflection and small breaks, emphasizing their role in resetting and boosting productivity.We delve into the importance of breaks and the need for a cultural shift away from the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Kevin offers practical suggestions for taking effective breaks, such as meditation or quick social media checks. He also underscores the critical role of sleep in stress management, advocating prioritizing the necessary hours of sleep over what we might want.Kevin provides three key tips for stress management. First, prioritize sleep by discovering your body's natural sleep needs. Next, reframe your mindset about daily tasks, focusing on what you get to do rather than what you have to do. Lastly, establish clear boundaries between work and personal life, creating "hard stops" to regain control and reduce stress.Kevin shares his journey of navigating adversity and finding purpose through his nonprofit organization, Hug Your People, which supports families dealing with pediatric cancer. We discuss shifting company culture and the importance of allowing employees to make an impact and utilize their talents.When asked about his definition of working from his happy place, Kevin emphasizes the need for comfort, safety, love, and control in one's environment. He discusses his daily planner designed to change the mindset of C-suite executives, encouraging them to view their day as a "get to do" list rather than a "to do" list.In closing, Kevin reminds us that stress management is not a luxury but a necessity, and small shifts in our daily approach can yield significant reductions in stress and increased enjoyment.Key Learnings from the Episode:[Challenging the traditional work culture [00:07:09]Reframing mindset about the day [00:10:56]Navigating Adversity and Finding Purpose [00:19:02]The shift in culture [00:28:59]Working from your happy place [00:32:18]About Kevin Hoover - I spent over 15 years in corporate management before carving my own path. It was and is the most challenging and rewarding thing to do. Currently, I work with business leaders through my company called Next Crest in areas like stress management, positive company culture & living a balanced life.My story was re-written in 2019 when my, then, 4 year old son was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. It shook me to my core. I dropped everything & vowed to be at every treatment & appointment that he had. I built my coaching business from a children's hospital. Literally.Over the next 70 weeks, our priorities would get a big wake-up call. My son beat cancer & changed my life. I'm proud to say that he is a happy & healthy 7-year-old as I type this.When you come out of that, you have no choice but to ask yourself questions. I spent a lot of time searching for my purpose until I landed on Next Crest.It is my passion to help leaders be better leaders. I've developed a planner for higher levels of productivity, coached business leaders to more success & shared our story on stages across the country.Possibly the craziest thing we've done is sell our house & travel the US for 13 months in an RV to support our nonprofit called Hug Your People. We have been about to impact over 400 pediatric cancer families through our organization to date.How to connect with Kevin Hoover:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kevinhoovercoaching/FB - https://www.facebook.com/kevin.hoover.399Linked in - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-hoover-coaching/About the Host Belinda Ellsworth is a Speaker, Trainer, Best-Selling Author, and PodcasterShe has been a professional speaker, mover, and shaker for more than 25 years.

The stories we tell ourselves have a lot of power. They affect our goals, how we show up, and the quality of life we enjoy. Changing your story is changing your life, and the first step to making a difference is to start questioning the things you believe about yourself, especially if they are holding you back. Your story must align with who you want to become and the goals you set for your life to thrive. Stop playing a victim and start exploring who you are and what you want out of life to write a powerful story. You can be whoever you want and create whatever reality you want. Living a life of power starts with taking charge and responsibility for yourself. Form positive habits that are non-negotiable and make sure you live healthfully and productively. Exercise regularly, maximize your productive hours, eat healthy meals - take control of yourself so each day counts. Small daily habits add up to create immense value in our lives. Focus on forming those habits instead of trying to achieve big goals or gain deeper meaning from your work or relationships - the meaning will follow when you make sure you focus on becoming a better version of yourself each day.

Testimonials are a powerful tool that can really get people to take action. As a seller, you may be familiar with promoting your products and trying to persuade buyers. But when someone else who has already bought the product leaves their own positive review, it can be much more effective in convincing buyers of its quality.Most infomercials don’t convert because they spend too much time talking about the product and not enough time talking about how it can benefit the user. To be more successful, people should focus on creating stories of people who have used the product and add that section early in the ad. In this episode, Belinda dives into why it's best to use more customer testimonials than facts to sell your product.

Customer physical appearance should not be taken as a reliable indicator when making decisions about what they need from your business.

How well do you know the product that you are selling? How much is too much, and how little is too little? Though in the first segment of this series we focused on selling from a benefit point of view and not a descriptive point of view, knowing your product’s overall description (but not necessarily every fine detail) is imperative. Even though the customer will rarely want to know the product description, you should have enough information to offer a recommendation and become a master of what you are selling. The more knowledge you have of a product, the more confident you will be when selling it and the more help you can give. Customers will be much more willing to purchase a product when they feel a sense of trust in the information you give them. Honesty also brings more sales, and honesty comes from having enough information. In this episode, I share tips on how to know your product well. Knowing exactly which product segments are the most important and how much time you should be spending on each one is key to success. Identifying which details are essential will save you valuable time and help you focus your efforts where they count the most. You don’t want to miss this! Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode: [01:58] Know your product - Why is it important? [04:04] Understand who the product works for. [08:22] Know what the customer is going to use the product for. [14:16] Know what else goes well with that product. [18:25] The changing customer buying patterns.

Success as an actor, singer, or musician is often attributed to luck, but there are many ways to increase your odds of success. From developing a clear vision for your future career to learning how to work like an artist, these strategies can help you become the best performer you can be. Some of the most important steps toward success are networking with other artists, perseverance, tenacity, and having an agent. There is also so much rejection and discouragement from this field, and you just have to laugh it off and focus on the fun. Otherwise, you will fall into depression. It is possible to be prepared with the right education and experience from college and then fail to be chosen for auditions. That’s why you must develop tools for accepting rejection and moving forward even through disappointment. In this episode, Lily Talevski shares her journey in her artistic career and how she has persevered to be featured as Rose Pierce in The Watcher Series on Netflix. One of her golden takeaways is that you can work as much as you want and keep pursuing as much as you want, but in the end, it often comes down to opportunities and luck. There is less you can do about that. Instead, keep yourself open to opportunities because no one formula solves it all in the entertainment industry.

One of the greatest challenges we deal with as salespeople is the fear of being pushy. However, there are some simple tricks and mindset shifts that you can use to overcome this feeling. These tips are not limited to salespeople but relevant for everyone. That’s because we are all, consciously or unconsciously, in the business of selling something in one way or another, whether it is selling yourself, a product, or an idea.The biggest tip is to always sell from a benefits point of view instead of a descriptive point of view. Descriptive selling means you describe the product in detail, while benefit selling involves clearly articulating the benefits a client will get from using the product. Effective selling always focuses on the buyer’s eye instead of the seller’s eye. In this episode, I share two power tips for how you can make the best sales during this season by getting more connected to your consumers at a personal level. Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[03:16] Everyone is constantly selling something.

It’s our thanksgiving week here in the United States, and that gives us the opportunity to stop and show appreciation for everything and everyone in our lives. You can be grateful for anything you have, including your business, family, friends, and everything you possess. So, who are you thankful for at this time of the year, and are you ready to let them know? When we show more appreciation, we create a more positive environment. Making others feel valued and appreciated in our life and business will make them feel more valued and encourage them to “show up” more for us. Paying attention to the little things people do daily for you and your business and saying “Thank you” can go a long way. Showing gratitude doesn’t have to be something huge. It can be just as small as saying “Thank you,” as long as it’s sincere. Gratitude is also literally life-changing. Being thankful for what we have every day will not only transform our businesses, but it will also help us cultivate a better mindset. One that leans more toward solutions over panic, positivity over negativity, and happiness over hopelessness. In this episode, I share the importance of gratitude and why it is a game changer. Being thankful for your businesses, staff, and everything in your life will help you focus on what's working and continue to build momentum.Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[01:27] About Thanksgiving and what I’m thankful for this time of the year.[03:34] Working from your happy place, loving what you do, and making your staff feel valued and appreciated in your culture.[04:27] Showing our appreciation to our customers and giving them time to feel appreciated for what they have received.

Finding your happy place is the best decision you can make in your life. Sometimes it will involve pursuing entrepreneurship. It can be a bumpy journey with many ups and downs, and it’s easy to get bogged down by challenges. We need to remember that those challenging times happen for a reason. They are teaching us life lessons and preparing us for life's challenges. It’s during these times when we are faced with our deepest, darkest fears that we have to find the courage to believe in ourselves and our dreams.The most successful people have learned how to embrace challenges and navigate their way through them. They find a lucrative, scalable passion and learn through the mistakes they make. Once they stabilize, they leave their 9-5 job and continue to grow their new business.

Opportunities don’t come from playing it safe or waiting until you become perfect and everything is right. Sometimes you have to trust it, do your absolute best, believe in yourself, bring the best work forward, and see what happens.Sometimes, the things that we think are perfect don’t always turn out to be great. Sometimes, it’s the gig, job, or song that you see as not ideal or unappealing that is going to push you to do the next level or the best work of your life.Great opportunities don’t usually come dressed as you expect them to be, and no matter how appealing or unappealing an opportunity looks, you will never know where it can lead you until you say yes to it. Saying yes to an opportunity and giving it your best is where the magic happens. Judging opportunities and thinking of them as less than ideal is an excuse for not giving your best effort.Stop worrying about making everything perfect, and start giving your best to every opportunity. Any opportunity is great if you believe in yourself and give it the best shot.To thrive, you must be willing to take risks and be open to doing the best work you can. The worst thing you can do is shy away from a great opportunity because it doesn’t seem like the perfect one. Just go for it and see what happens. You might end up having the most incredible time; if not, you will learn from it, and either way, it was worth the effort.In this episode, Clare Bowen and Brandon Robert Young, a husband-and-wife duo singing group, talk about how to build your career, set boundaries, and succeed as an artist and entrepreneur. “Empathy and compassion are big, and you have to hold on to them as an artist.”Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[03:47] Clare and Brandon share how they became a great singing duo and, more importantly, husband and wife.[11:22] How to stop playing it safe and stepping out even when you feel it’s not your ideal gig or perfect timing[15:30] What led Clare to be called for the nationals despite being shy, introverted, and coming from a small town in Australia and her experience? [19:06] Clare and Brandon’s favorite and most memorable performances. [23:54] The superpowers that have helped Clare and Brandon navigate and achieve success in their career. [28:44] How do Clare and Brandon build and maintain their fan base to be successful in what they do?[38:02] How do Clare and Brandon navigate the business and creative side of their day-to-day career?[46:44] What does working from your happy place mean to Clare and Brandon?[50:20] Clare and Brandon’s advice to young people starting out their career in arts and anyone who is setting out to do something greater than themselves.[57:39] The importance of rising beyond expectations and being kind to yourself.

More and more people are talking about imposter syndrome, but it’s not new. Imposter syndrome is simply self-doubt and the fear that you are not measuring up. It’s what we think about ourselves and the stories we tell ourselves that convinces us that we are not good enough, worthy enough, or talented enough.The stories we tell ourselves are the ones we will believe, and often, we judge ourselves more than anyone else will ever do. Every day we wake up, we tell ourselves a story that is either serving us or holding us back from becoming who we’re meant to be. However, the good news is you can rewrite your story to change your life.If it’s your story that is holding you back, you need to rewrite your story by creating new habits and patterns that will support a story that will propel you forward.

They are our cheerleaders and help us meet new people and build and expand our networks.Most new job opportunities and new relationships don’t come from our best friends.

So many of us feel conflicted and unhappy with the way we lead at work. Being the leader you were designed to be should not be a struggle.It is an opportunity to let people see that you can love your work and family and use the skills you bring to positively impact the lives of people around you.Leadership exists for others. It is lived on the inside and manifested in the action of our work. This means we need to know ourselves before we can lead with authenticity. We must understand what it takes to lead and be willing to play our part. We owe leadership a lot more than just showing up to give our best in our work. We should rise together by helping others and supporting our colleagues. That being said, we are not defined by our work and success alone. Leadership, whether in fundraising, business, or any other area, is a happy place when you keep your focus on your “why.” Doing this will help you make meaningful progress in whatever you’re doing, and ensure that you’re doing it with the people with whom you share mutual respect, whom you value and who value you. In this episode, Shanna Hocking, leadership consultant, philanthropic advisor, and keynote speaker, talks about becoming the leader you are designed to be in your workplace.

Doing what interests you now and pursuing what inspires you enables you to be adaptable and do things that work with your lifestyle at the moment. Working on your passion is all about getting yourself out there, allowing yourself to make mistakes, and connecting with your audience to deliver value. The internet has made it easier than ever to gain the traction you need to be a successful small business owner and create a living out of your dream. So many business owners opt to promote themselves and sell through social media vs. having a small storefront, which has given them much more success.

The biggest challenge that Michelle ran across and how she navigated through it. [27:33] What does working from your happy place mean to Michelle?[29:46] Michelle's biggest piece of advice to someone who is starting out as an artist.About Michelle Mackay - Michelle is an illustrator, artist, and crafter living in the green mountains of Vermont. Mother of two, she spends her days outside with the children, painting pictures, sewing dolls, and collecting tiny things. Influenced greatly by the natural world and her children’s stories, she creates tiny worlds of her own to share. She offers a whimsical illustration style rooted in nature, the beauty of the simple things, and tiny extra details that offer a story within a story.She graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and moved to Nantucket immediately after graduating. There, she met the love of her life, and they've been together ever since. After having their first child, the return to art was slow. At first, she was painting portraits of parenthood, which was fun for some time but eventually, she craved making more of her own work rather than custom work. Michelle started making cloth dolls, which she used to do when she was a teenager, and the first few batches sold within seconds. Dollmaking became her 9 to 5, and she still loves it, but it's not her main focus. Dolls continue to sell well, which she is so grateful for, but her focus has been shifting to more illustration work. She has been illustrating for Taproot Magazine for a few years now, in addition to illustrating toys or postcards for children's companies. Michelle is starting her venture into children's book illustration by actively seeking representation and continuing to make and sell her own work in the form of prints, cards, or handbound zines. She started zines with a friend, and it gives them a chance to use all their favorite talents; writing stories, drawing, crafting, baking, bookmaking, plant dyes, letterpress, and so many other aspects!How to connect with Michelle Mackay:Website: https://www.danceypantsdisco.com/https://www.edielune.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danceypantsdisco/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.instagram.com/danceypantsdisco/Discount code: “HAPPYPLACE”About the Host -Belinda Ellsworth is a Speaker, Trainer, Best-Selling Author, and PodcasterShe has been a professional speaker, mover, and shaker for more than 25 years.

But not many people talk about how to be more organized at home or in other areas of your life. Our work is just one part of our life. If we want to save time and be productive, we must also ensure that our time is well managed in the other areas of our life as well.If you think carefully, you will find that most of the time, you run out of time because your time was wasted on something mundane. Maybe breakfast preparation took longer than usual or you couldn’t find your watch and spent time looking for it. Maybe you can’t find your car keys before leaving home in the morning. Now think about the time you spend looking for them and the irritation and frustration that goes along with being late for work or an important meeting because of it.In this episode, I share a simple, time-saving tip that has helped me save time and eliminate frustrations before stepping out of the house.We cannot manage time, but we can control how we utilize it, and these simple, time-saving hacks can help you save some extra time, which can put you in the right frame of mind for your entire day.About the Host -Belinda Ellsworth is a Speaker, Trainer, Best-Selling Author, and PodcasterShe has been a professional speaker, mover, and shaker for more than 25 years.

When you listen to your intuitions, you get to find yourself, make the right decision, and take action without fear.

If Jennifer Smith is right, the way anyone shares how-to knowledge is about to change forever. A former VC and McKinsey consultant turned accidental CEO, she interviewed more than 1,200 business leaders on a quest to understand everything there is to know about processes, best practices, and productivity. Now with her startup Scribe, she’s empowering people to own their processes by building the world’s first operating system for know-how.
For as long as she can remember, Jennifer has been fixated on finding better, faster ways to get work done. That obsession led her to a career in consulting at McKinsey, where she spent seven years getting paid to uncover the secrets and shortcuts behind companies’ highest-performing employees. From there she moved to Silicon Valley VC firm Greylock, picking the brains of over a thousand CIOs, CDOs, and CXOs in an effort to understand their biggest operational pain points.She was shocked to find that despite advances in technology, not much had changed since her early days at McKinsey — to get a true picture of their operational best practices, companies still had to hire a high-priced consultant to look over the shoulder of some overstressed employee. So she teamed up with a former Google engineer and quietly set about building a tool that could automatically capture how employees work, allowing organizations to finally understand, document, and optimize how work gets done.Growing by word-of-mouth only, Scribe has already become a hit at tens of thousands of organizations from tech startup unicorns to Fortune 500 companies. And with over $30M in funding from some of Silicon Valley’s most prescient VC’s, you can be sure the knowledge sharing revolution they’ve started is just beginning.

Episode Summary -Do you spend your time being busy, yet end up having an unproductive day?Do you ever feel like your to-do lists are getting longer daily, and you have no clue how to sort them out?
Do you find yourself focusing on the urgent all day long?If any of the situations describe you, it probably means you need to look carefully at how you are managing your time.
The most common reason people struggle with their to-do list is that they tend to spend time on the tasks that are of the least importance.
There is a vast difference between being busy and being productive.
Being productive means you focus on how you can do more with less time and how you can make your work simple. It is also about identifying the tasks that are killing your time and getting rid of them.In this episode, Jennifer Smith shares some productivity tips on utilizing your time more efficiently."Falling in love with the process is the way to overcome self-doubt and self-limiting belief."

Bob Tiede is an accomplished leadership expert, author, and blogger who has served on the leadership team of Cru for fifty years.Bob Tiede has been helping people work from their happy place for a decade. His Leading with Questions approach teaches leaders to be "serial askers" instead of "serial teller." By doing so, leaders discover barriers to progress and workflow issues while fostering a healthier, more productive workplace. Thanks, as always, for your time.
Ten years ago, Bob Tiede stumbled upon the book that changed his life: Power Questions by Jerold Pans and Andrew Sobel. After reading about the value of asking questions, and thinking about his 40 years as a leader, he had an epiphany: He had spent his entire professional life as a benevolent dictator, “telling” instead of asking in his personal and professional life.Eager to share his knowledge, Bob started a blog, Leading with Questions (see the press kit here). Nine years and more than one thousand blog posts later, Bob has connected thousands of leaders, and published four eBooks (translated into several languages that he gives away for free. His salt-of-the-earth, generous, no-nonsense style has enabled him to forge connections with people worldwide, from all walks of life, and to be a change agent for the good of leaders anywhere and everywhere.Bob is a graduate of the University of South Dakota who has amassed a following from top-tier leaders and others as a plain-speaking change-agent, reminding leaders to focus on asking questions instead of feeling like they need to have all the answers.Bob grew up on a farm in a close-knit family and became involved at a young age in the Christian student movement that is now Cru.

Episode Summary -
Just because someone has been in the workplace for many years, it doesn’t mean they are a good leader. Even getting a promotion doesn’t necessarily make them an excellent leader.In order to become a great leader, you need to acquire good leadership skills; leadership is not about just delegating tasks. A good leader impacts their company’s performance as a whole by expertly encouraging their team to perform at their optimum strength.
A good leader knows how to value and motivate every team member to be their best. That ensures employees who are happy, productive, and well connected with the company’s objective.
In this episode, Bob Tiede shares some valuable tips on how you can develop your leadership skills by asking better questions.

Surrounded by the Northern Rockies' majestic beauty and rugged wilderness, songwriter Michael Shaw worked as a horseman and wilderness ranger in Western Montana for more than a decade. That unpredictable natural landscape—and the isolation that goes along with it—shapes his debut album, “He Rode On.”
With a swagger in his vocal and a sharp eye for detail, Shaw brings authenticity to “He Rode On,” as everything he references on the album—from living off the land to cheating death—is rooted in the truth. Shaw’s captivating songwriting can be directly traced to his own experiences in the West. Yet, his stories are universal, whether he’s delivering a rowdy barroom anthem or a meditative song about losing a loved one.

Episode Summary -We often get carried away with what others have done and try to replicate that in our lives.
But this can never guarantee success and happiness.It’s a much better plan to just do what you want to do, something you are passionate about, something which is your inner calling, regardless of what society says and believes.Success is achieved when you are working from your happy place.In this episode, Michael Shaw shares his inspiring story of how he chose not to pursue a corporate job in a big city after college, unlike most of his friends, and chose instead to become a horseman and live in the mountains. That choice inspired him to become a songwriter and singer.
“To master your craft, you need to appreciate clear and honest feedback from others.”

Episode Summary -“Your Network is your net worth” is an extremely common quote used in business. The stronger your network, the faster you can grow your business and take it to the next level.To build a successful business, "who you know" becomes more crucial than "what you know." Networking for your business can make or break you.Here’s how a strong network can help you in business growth:
You generate new leads - Every time you add a new connection, it opens the door for new business opportunities and referrals.It increases your visibility - The more people with whom you connect in your industry, the more people become aware of you, learn about your business, and understand how you can help.
You get new ideas and perspectives - Every person comes with a different background and expertise; the more you network with new people, the greater your opportunities to collaborate and get new business ideas and insights.
In this episode, I share strategies for mastering your networking skills and building a strong relationship once you make those valuable connections.

Adam Shoenfeld has balanced a career as a first-called studio musician with a spot in Tim McGraw’s touring band for the last nine years. He’s also fostered rising talent as a co-writer and producer while nurturing a couple of musical side projects of his own, namely Digital Brains (a band influenced by rock and punk) and SunKat (a 70’s pop-rock inspired duo with his wife Katie Cook).As concerts dried up during the pandemic, Shoenfeld channeled his creative energy into writing songs and producing a solo record in his home studio, pulling together the textures of classic rock, power pop, and adult alternative. By collaborating with those bands, he says he found his own voice too – one that he’s proud to lend to the release of his first solo album, All the Birds Sing, in Winter 2021.
In 1994, at 20 years old, Shoenfeld moved to Nashville and soon integrated himself into the music community. He formed a band with “Big Kenny” Alphin called LuvjOi, which became one of the most popular draws on Nashville’s rock scene in that era. When Big Kenny then formed country duo Big & Rich with John Rich, they enlisted Shoenfeld to play guitar on their 2004 breakout hit, “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.” Around this same time, Shoenfeld and Rich teamed up to write a hit for Faith Hill, resulting in her 2005 No. 1 single, “Mississippi Girl.”Although he was offered a record deal as a country duo with a then-unknown Jason Aldean, Shoenfeld turned it down because he didn’t want to be known as a country artist with all due respect to the genre. Yet he’s been a bandleader and lead guitarist on every one of Aldean’s solo albums since then – and many others too. Since 2011, he’s received seven nominations from the Academy of Country Music for Guitar Player of the Year. He’s also accrued credits on more than 40 No. 1 country hits, including modern classics like Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise.”

Part 1 - We have talked about successful people have big dreamsPart 2 - We have talked about successful people are enthusiastic, energetic, and confidentPart 3 - We have talked about successful people have a positive mindsetEpisode Summary - In the concluding part of four things successful people have in common, I talk about the importance of goals and how you can achieve your goals & never give up on your goals.One question which I often find people asking me “I don’t know what is wrong; I work hard daily still, it doesn’t seem I am going anywhere?” And the biggest reason behind this is they don’t exactly know where they are going and where they want to go.Successful people are very strict about setting goals and laser-focused on reaching their goals. They ensure that their everyday actions are moving them closer to their goals.A goal is like a roadmap towards your success journey; you achieve a milestone with every goal you achieve.“If you have a goal without a vision or purpose, you are eventually going to get tired and give up on it.”Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:[02:38] What goals really are, and why are they so crucial for your success?[07:45] Two key factors that can help you stick to your goals and achieve them.[11:05] The importance of focussing on one thing at a time for your growth.About the Host -Belinda Ellsworth is a Speaker, Trainer, Best-Selling Author, and PodcasterShe has been a professional speaker, mover, and shaker for more than 25 years.

Daddy of 3, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, international-renowned business speaker, nationally-syndicated radio show host and former All American Track & Field athlete Mitche Graf has been a passionate serial entrepreneur for over 35 years, dangling his toes into the ponds of many intriguing industries along the way. From selling used bicycle parts out of his garage in the seventh grade to running four companies today, he has prided himself on knowing how to squeeze every drop of potential out of his endeavors.In the middle of all of this, he took a year off from running his own companies to become the President of a Class A affiliate of the world-champion San Francisco Giants baseball team for a season, and undertook a organizational re-brand which culminated in a 12% increase in attendance, one of the best in all of professional baseball in 2019.Over the past three decades, Mitche has created two award-winning restaurants, a bustling catering & events company, a national spice manufacturing business with over 4000 accounts, a photography studio, a cribbage board company, an award-winning limousine business, a portable hot tub rental business, a drive-through espresso company, an multi-million dollar educational products company, an athletic fitness testing corporation, and even a night crawler company.His nationally-syndicated radio shows 'Business Edge Radio' and the 'Business Edge Minute' were launched in the spring of 2020, and are now available on over 30 radio stations across the country, with more coming on board every month. Mitche's quick wit and fast-paced style has garnered his shows plenty of national press, and it has allowed his shows to rise to the top in lighting-fast speeds. Both shows can be listened to through the Business Edge Radio app that is available in the Apple or Android stores, along with PDF worksheets and videos.Having started, built, and successfully operated numerous enterprises in a multitude of industries has taught him a simple truth: the same basic business principles apply, regardless of the arena you may play in.As an educator and motivational speaker, Mitche’s high-voltage seminars and workshops have been delivered around the world to over 75,000 people in nine countries and nearly every state in the U.S. His cutting-edge articles and columns have appeared in the pages of business trade magazines such as Rangefinder, PPA Magazine, Limo Digest, Chauffer Driven, Image Maker, and Fresh Cup, as well as many online marketing sites and blogs.Mitche has published 9 books including-Marketing Your Espesso Business (1994)Power Marketing, Selling & Pricing (2004) Best SellerThe Passionate Life- A Common Man's Dream To Getting Anything You Want Out Of Everything You Do (2009)The Unleashed Entrepreneur- A KickAss Guide To Harnessing Your Inner Ninja, Working Less, & Building The Lifestyle Of Your Dreams (2018) Best SellerBBQ Unleashed Recipe Book (2018)High Voltage Branding- Go From Ordinary To Extra-Ordinary (2020)The Business Basics BootCamp- The Ultimate Crash Course (2020) Best SellerEntertain Like A Pro- Appetizers (2020)Customer Service Is DEAD: Delivering 6-Star Service In A 1-Star World (2021)A majority of his education and training has been from the School of Hard Knocks, from which he has earned his PhD degree. Through the high-notes of his business home runs, to the low-notes of bankruptcy in the 1990s, Mitche has continued to make bold attempts to redefine the limits of his abilities, and to reinvent the way his businesses operate so they don’t become all-consuming black holes that suck him dry of his creative juices and zest for life.Getting punched in the face from failure is probably the best teacher he has ever had and most of the lessons he has learned were born out of those failures.He firmly believes life is meant to be lived, not endured, and we each can make a profound difference in the world. He loves his family, loves his friends, and the rest just falls into place!Mitche is passionate about the outdoors, and laughing, playing guitar, reading, listening to great music, cooking and eating, drinking good wine, taking a tremendous amount of time off to chill, and most importantly, spending time with his family.Living in a small country town in Oregon allows him to raise his children the way he was raised....with a hard work ethic and a strong sense of community. He lives with his wife Tami and their three small children Jaycee, Colton, and Sierra, Tilly & Delilah the Dogs, , Coral the Hermit Crab, Opa the Lizard, as well several hundred guppies (names not important).He spends much of his time looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, so he can spend more time doing and enjoying the things in life that are most important to him. He believes that EVERY DAY IS A SATURDAY , and this perspective inspires him to wake up every day with a sense of excitement and enthusiasm to live his life by design.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

After years of practice, he emerged in style with 2007’s ‘Babysoul.’ A masterclass in seductive smooth jazz, the album marked the arrival of a brilliant instrumentalist, and set the stage for a prolific recording career that would include Grammy nods, hit singles, and no shortage of critical adoration, right up through 2019’s ‘Touch’.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Scott Sean White makes his home these days in Poetry, Texas, a perfectly named little town for a songwriter’s songwriter. Releasing his first album, Call It Even, this year, White has been storing up the raw materials that became these songs for over 30 years. The stories of his family were bubbling up inside him constantly—"all the major adult figures in my life were either alcoholics or addicts… or both,” says White, and he’s finally had the time to write these songs and make the album. For 29 years, until 2018, White managed, booked, and played keyboards in a corporate cover band that played funk, disco, and hip hop. During that time, he wrote a pocketful of country-leaning songs, and he made his way down to Nashville, where he found his musical home. White has spent several years there as a staff writer, but in 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he suddenly had time to make the album he’d been wanting to make. On Call It Even White lays bare his soul with raw honesty, fiercely trading in the ragged vagaries of life and love in emotionally soaring vocals that echo in our souls long after the music has stopped. Few artists possess the ability to pull us into their stories immediately with such emotional vulnerability in their voice and candor in their lyrics as Scott Sean White.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Elise Auxier is an ICF certified, professional executive and life coach and the owner of Gulfcoast Coaching in Tampa, Florida. Elise helps her clients understand and harness the power of their energy for greater leadership effectiveness. Unlike personality assessments, the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) is a behavioral assessment which illuminates how current perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors either enhance ability to lead or detract from it. It measures how people really “show up” in life on a day when things are going pretty good and when they are under stress. The ELI uncovers 7 distinct levels of energy which we all cycle through on a daily basis. None of these energy levels are inherently good or bad unless we become stuck in one, unaware of our ability to choose something different. Understanding that we possess the power to choose our energy and find opportunity in every situation is a life-changing awareness. This is exactly the window that the ELI allows us to look through. For more than 30 years Elise has helped men and women expand their clarity, personal power and confidence. She partners with her clients to help them experience more of the life they really want. Together they illuminate what might be possible and turn it into the achievable. Elise coaches professional people who are hungry for higher performance, deeper engagement and more personal satisfaction and joy in their lives. People who feel both overwhelmed and underwhelmed by their lives and know that there has got to be more than this. The Energy Leadership Index illuminates the path for a new level of awareness and consciousness about what is truly possible in life.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

After 20 years of working with individuals, couples, professionals, and parents in all different ways, She's discovered a few different things about the reality of working parenthood in modern society: 1 | Working parents who struggle with overwhelm and burnout have one thing in common: They aren’t making conscious choices about how they spend their time. 2 | Working Parents are also searching for a quick fix to minimize their current suffering. 3 | Working parents know they can’t keep living this way, but they don’t think they have enough time to do anything differently I’ve actually heard this phrase: “I don’t have enough time to find enough time.” She works best with ambitious professional moms and dads who are struggling with burnout and don’t know where else to turn. We live in a different kind of world right now where excessive consumption, distraction, mindless activity and CONSTANT DOING is leading to unhappiness, stress, and anxiety. You’re in the right place if this resonates with you at all.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Dave Peniuk was born to entertain. At the age of 12, he and a friend started taping their own rock n roll radio station, singing to the songs and commenting on the daily grind of elementary school. From there, Dave grabbed his friend's Betamax video camera and started shooting spoof commercials like Toothpaste X - "The Foamiest" and Cleaning Detergent Y - "Leaves Shirts Spotless and just a bit smaller". Dave quickly moved onto short films where he wrote, directed, edited and co-starred in such favorites as "008 - Silverfinger" and "Nightmare on Beach Drive". But then real life took over and Dave became a commercial fisherman (aka "The Deadliest Catch"), a market researcher (yes, part of those annoying telemarketer calls), and then real estate. At the ripe age of 40, Dave realized that nothing else speaks to his soul like acting and entered back into the world of entertainment starting out learning the craft from Jacqui Kaese at Spotlight Academy. He is now a full-time actor and producer, acting in award-winning web-series like "Night Owl High" or the soon to be released hilarious feature film spoof of Friday the 13th - "Camp Death III: The Final Summer". He was recently on Jenna Elfman's new show, "Imaginary Mary" as well as on the CBC award-winning intense spy-thriller "The Romeo Section". When not acting or auditioning, he can be found in Acting classes with Margie Haber, Diane Charles, Stuart Aikins, and Jeb Beach & Associates, or learning the funny at The Groundlings theater and school.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

In 2010, Danny Dover assigned a deadline of May 25, 2017, to his life. He was tired of hearing about other people’s exciting lives and decided to jump-start his own by taking steps to actually live as if the end was in sight. He tattooed his deadline on his butt and made the sole purpose of his life to complete his Life List (a list of more than 150 life goals). While pursuing his list, he inadvertently became a minimalist in order to gain the necessary focus to create a more meaningful life. This seemingly small change in mindset (which he later detailed in the book The Minimalist Mindset) dramatically changed his life for the better. As of 2017, Dover has completed his entire Life List (which included living alone in the wilderness for a month, traveling to nearly 100 countries, mountain climbing in Antarctica, becoming a best-selling author with his first book Search Engine Optimization Secrets and many other adventures). More importantly though, he has a small group of deep friendships and is able to spend much of his time writing for an extraordinary community (https://www.lifelisted.com), and sharing life-changing experiences with others.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Karleen says about herself: "My goal as an author? To get your kids to LOVE reading as much as I did when I was their age…and as much as I still do! As a child, I had the goal (not met) to read every book in the children’s section of my local library. Through the books I write for ages 8 to 12, that’s the kind of fervor I hope to instill in kids today. When I was raising my children and reading to them I often commented, “I could write something better than this.” Ideas began to develop and eventually, I wrote my first book, an early reader chapter book. Like most first books, it had structural problems, grammar errors and plot holes, but it was a start. I joined the Florida Writers Association in 2004, which has been an immense help in developing my writing skills. That year, one of my books won 2nd place in the Juvenile division of their Florida Palms Literary Awards. Two other books were RPLA finalists in 2010. In 2009 and again in 2011 I won a generous scholarship to the Highlights Foundation Writers Workshop, a conference I highly recommend to people interested in writing for children. In 2010 I became interested in e-publishing and the new opportunities it gives to authors. That led me to create my popular blog, KidsEBookBestsellers.com which ran for five years until 2015. My writing has been published in Highlights Magazine for Children and Odyssey Science Magazine for Children (now merged with Muse Magazine.) I continue to write books, with more ideas patiently waiting their turn in the queue."This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Michael Gebben spent 7 years building a video company that was the envy of everyone in his field, GebbsTV. Until, one day, he woke up to the realization that he'd built a cage of his own making.

So he hit reset, and over the last three years, rebuilt his life and his career around what matters and even launched a new inspirational YouTube channel. He has profoundly changed his metrics for success. Michael's current company Jumpstarters helps creative entrepreneurs to get over the same hurdles that he was able to conquer, allowing him to work with individuals such as Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins, and Richard Branson.

Marc Miller’s career journey included 22 years at IBM, several thriving tech startups, a stint as a high school math teacher, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Center and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever. But after thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over, Marc learned his most crucial lesson: Most people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core, what fulfills them. They pursue money, status, a skill set, all of which provide some level of satisfaction, but not contentment. They wind up feeling frustrated and trapped. Others have figured out what they need, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there. An active member of the Launch Pad Job Club, Marc found himself counseling friends and associates on their career journeys and finally realized he’d found his vocation. He now uses his extensive training experience to help others—especially Baby Boomers— and careers that they could grow into for the decades that lie ahead. http://www.careerpivot.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Todd Tresidder is a financial coach and educator at FinancialMentor.com. He's the author of five financial planning books including 'How Much Money Do I Need To Retire?,' 'Don't Hire A Financial Coach,' and 'Variable Annuity Pros and Cons.' You can connect with Todd via his website, Financialmentor.com, Twitter @FinancialMentor, or on Google+. Todd graduated from the University of California at Davis with a B.A. in economics and a passion for creating successful businesses. A serial entrepreneur since childhood, Todd went on to build his own wealth as a hedge fund investment manager before "retiring" at 35. Todd teaches the principles of personal finance and investing based on real experience. He shows you what works, what doesn’t, and why – with a unique focus on combining personal development with a systematic, disciplined approach to achieving financial freedom. Todd’s own path to financial freedom consisted of leading an ordinary but comfortable lifestyle that prioritized building wealth instead of overhead, and freedom over flash. The truth is financial freedom isn’t about more, better, different stuff. It’s about having the time, money, and freedom to enjoy your life experience without limitations. For Todd, that means an outdoor adventure lifestyle, intellectual pursuits, and relationships. First on the list is family and friends closely followed by reading stimulating books, enjoying outdoor recreation like running, swimming, skiing, hiking, cycling, camping, backpacking, and travel. Personal growth is also a high priority. None of what Todd truly values costs much money, but it does take time. This is one of the hidden gems to financial freedom: having the time to do what gives you more joy in life without the worry, stress, and anxiety caused by money. Todd teaches the pursuit of financial freedom as a transformational path because that was his experience. Money is always nice, but ultimately it’s just a tool – the inner transformation is the bigger reward. And that is why Todd founded Financial Mentor – to share this journey with others and to grow a community of like minded individuals who are passionate about building wealth and financial freedom because it improves the quality of life for you and your family.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

PJ Jonas is a business owner, goat-wrangler, entrepreneur, and mother. Afer getting goats to provide healthy milk for her eight children, she decided to put some excess milk into a batch of handmade soap. That decision was the beginning of Goat Milk Stuf, a growing goat milk products business that has been featured on The Today Show, The Doctors, The Huckabee Show, and in “O”, the Oprah Magazine. What started with an initial small batch of soap has expanded into a host of goat milk items such as goat milk soaps, cheeses, candies, fudge, gelato and more. It’s a team effort to keep the farm running, make and ship all the products, and welcome visitors to the farm. PJ’s husband, eight children (aged 9 to 19), and six full-time employees, all work hard to promote the goodness of goat milk. With over nineteen years of homeschooling children under her belt, as well as eight years of running a business, PJ enjoys talking to mothers and entrepreneurs across the world about living the best life they can live. She puts her systems engineering degree from the University of Virginia to good use every day, maximizing efficiencies in the processes of her business, farm, and household. Managing change in a dynamic work environment and constantly re-evaluating what is working and what isn’t are some of PJ’s strengths. A general hatred of clutter, and all other time and energy thieves, helps PJ decide what needs to go; but not everything is subject to change. PJ’s faith in Jesus along with a strong work ethic are non-negotiables that support some of her favorite maxims like the Pareto Principle, the Golden Rule, and the YoungestPerson Rule. These all work together, not so much in a work-life balance that so many seem to be seeking, but rather in a work-family-school-faith integration that all happens simultaneously and continuously. www.goatmilkstuff.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Laura Moore is the Founder of Uppy. She is a Performance Coach specialising in helping driven business and professional women live more. Laura is ridiculously passionate about helping women unlock their full potential so that they can have more time and energy to focus on doing the things they want with the people they want and have a good time in the process. Throughout her years in the health and wellness industry, she has identified that this is only possible if a solid foundation is built at a personal level, the basis of which is optimum health and wellbeing. Most people claim to know this, yet the numbers of lifestyle-related disease continue to rise, as people continue to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Laura recognised this and developed the Uppy philosophy, which flips current thinking on its head and respects the fact that it is the mind driving the body, and diet and exercise are only a small piece of the puzzle. Laura is sick of seeing women struggle because they have been misinformed or just don’t know there’s another way, so she is on a mission to deliver her philosophy to as many women as possible, because she believes that everyone has a right to know how to live more.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement

Debbie Bourdon graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a double major in Accounting and Management, knowing that her real interest was Management.  She felt the accounting degree would land her with a company, where she could eventually move into to a management position.  Debbie started her career at Chelsea Milling Company, better known as Jiffy Mix, where she was hired to run their computer system and process payroll.  During her 13 years there, she worked in their accounting department, human resources department, as well as landed a management position.  She also worked with a direct sales company selling jewelry part time for a few years, as a fun way to get out of the house.  At that point in her life, she felt it was important to stay home with her children until they had graduated from High School.  Upon their graduation, she decided to take the opportunity to “try something else.”  Looking for a career that wasn’t 8-5, one with some flexibility, where she could go out to lunch with her girlfriends when she wanted or take a spontaneous vacation, etc.  The career for her was to sell Real Estate.  She knew it would mean working some weekends, and evenings, but her children had moved out of the house, and her husband was also traveling for work.  Unfortunately, she started selling Real Estate in 2006, right when the market started to crash.  Fortunately, my husband had a stable job.  As with any business, it takes time to get started.  With patience, determination, and lots of hard work, she's become a top producer within Real Estate One, the #1 sales agent in her office, and the top 1% of sales within the entire Real Estate One company.  Real Estate One is the largest broker in Michigan and the 5th largest in the United States.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4939248/advertisement
