31: Brian Clark - Your Online Platform
Having an online “presence” is more than just being online. It’s your platform says Brian Clark. A place to be noticed, share, give and receive. A place to get your message out and a place to be found. Not unlike a stage a speaker steps onto, it is your place to shine and communicate your unique gifts. Embracing this platform concept will fundamentally change the way you approach your website and your entire online marketing plan. If you are updating your website or even thinking about it, start by listening to this episode first.

25: Ted Coine - The Human Side of Social Media
Since 2008, “social media” as we knew it has changed and continues to morph into something much more than a form of entertainment or a way of doing business. It has given all of us the ability to connect on an intimate level that is so revolutionary that it has the ability to shift entire cultures and force individual transparency at a moments notice. Not unlike a village, the internet has the ability to build relationships, offer purpose and enable like-minded people a place to gather and share. Ted Coiné, the co-author of “A World Gone Social”, believes that “profits as a direct result of putting people first” is a more human way to do business.

24: Selina Maitreya - A Feast for the Soul
Gratitude, abundance and grace are always at hand. I am thrilled to offer a cornucopia of insights on this special Thanksgiving Day episode from todays guest, spiritual teacher Selina Maitreya. I had the great pleasure of speaking to Selina, about how to reduce stress during the Holidays, increase gratitude, and why abundance is “elusive” to many yet always attainable. The perfect accompaniment while you’re preparing dinner or driving to Grandma’s house.
