Resistance is Part of the Journey, an Artist’s perspective with Award-Winning Artist Connie Moeller EP:14

You’ve probably experienced this: You’re working hard at creating something new, feeling like you’re building momentum and then, WHAM! You’re kicked back by something unexpected… sometimes something really devastating. You might say you were ‘frustrated…’ That’s how Artist, Connie Moeller, described her reaction when she received her breast cancer diagnosis a few years ago. She had finally given herself permission to spend her time painting, bringing some beauty and a sense of peace to others through her work, and then this… Frustration and a sense of disbelief that it could actually be happening to her. Connie’s mom and sister both died from breast cancer, so it wasn’t unthinkable that Connie might also develop this insidious disease, but she had been very actively focused on doing all the things she could

Leadership, Culture, and Results Come from the Top CEO Chad Silverstein EP:13

Laura sets the stage for today’s conversation by reminding Chad of when they first met, several years ago, and she was struck by how different his business and office space was. She was attending a 2-day workshop in Columbus, and the Choice Recovery office was a field trip / live demonstration of inspired thinking and leadership in action. She reminds him of how he had a Think Tank rather than a conference room, and initiates an exploration of his mindset, practices, and beliefs around business, leadership, culture, growth, and how he thinks about people. “If you don’t know yourself, there’s a huge disconnect in your ability to lead,” explains Chad Silverstein, as he and Laura talk about how he’s created – and is creating – success in his life and how it extends

Feel like you don’t fit in? Look for Validation Within With Executive Strategist Trivinia Barber EP: 12

Laura and Trivinia share a conversation about how it is when you feel like you don’t fit in someplace and what the implications and consequences of that feeling are. Laura shares a story of taking a job because she really wanted to work with a particulate HR Director and how she knew on the first day it was the wrong fit; she spent nine months feeling as if she was wearing someone else’s clothes every day, which were “the wrong size and wrong style.” Trivinia relates and shares some of her own experiences of wanting to fit in, not feeling as if she did, and trying to not shine a spotlight on herself to stand out and feel even more inappropriate. Like most of us, she longed to feel “chosen,

There is possibility and presence within the fear – do it afraid! with Pastor Aaron Brown Ep: 11

“Fear of failure plagued me since I was a kid… but I learned to feel the fear and do it anyway!” Explains Aaron Brown as he and Laura kick off this episode. “I’ve learned to move into it – whatever ‘it’ may be – knowing there is possibility and presence within the fear.” In this specific case, Aaron was describing the fear he felt when he had an opportunity in 2018 to participate in a small, private “Shark Tank” experience during a John. C. Maxwell Leadership event. His intention, upon registering for the event, was to simply relax and enjoy the experience, soak up some wisdom, and enjoy spending time with interesting people. That, however, isn’t exactly what happened! When the opportunity came up, he asked himself, “is it worth

How to Scale the New Sharing Economy and Create a Higher Quality of Life with Economic Futurist, Joel Hodroff EP: 10

Ever enjoy one of those seemingly serendipitous introductions that turns into a strong connection and a lot in common? That’s what happened when Laura met Joel Hodroff through a mutual friend. Joel is a Money Innovator, Serial Entrepreneur, Visionary Thinker, and an excellent “step-down transformer” – meaning he can make the complex very simple and easy to understand when it comes to finance, money, and economics. He shares some insight into how the expansion of mobile apps and social media has really changed how money, employment, and economics work… and unfortunately, we’re still in a win-lose situation. Joel explains how the on-going win-lose competition paradigm in business today is borne of scarcity thinking, which is crazy as there is actually a lot of wealth and a lot of abundance. The
