Becoming Indistractable with Ryan James Miller
Peak performance is far less about everyone meeting a single bar and far more about individuals figuring out how to perform at their best…and then doing it.
One of the greatest skills high performing individuals possess is the ability to proactively avoid distractions. Which means those that don’t avoid distractions, don’t achieve peak performance.
Underperformers lack the desire, or (in most cases) the will, to do what is necessary to turn off the noise of the world.
If you fall victim to distractions which are hindering your ability to perform at your peak, this episode provides a few simple steps to have you fighting back.

Transforming Trauma into Triumph with Alexandra Galviz
Alexandra Galviz is the OG of Authenticity, inspiring and educating people through corporate keynotes and workshops, enormous LinkedIn influence and coaching, and more. She is the co-creator of LinkedIn Live as well as a LinkedIn Learning Author.
I was drawn to Alex when we co-presented at a LinkedIn event in LA back in 2018. Her vulnerability, kindness, and immense wisdom was so inspiring to me and she quickly became someone I respected so much.
This conversation dug deep into what it means to be authentic, living for freedom, and how chasing money, power, and status causes depression, broken relationships, and so much hurt.
Being on separate continents, we experienced a few technical difficulties but bear with us because the net result of this conversation will leave you with so much opportunity to grow personally.

Creating the Right Rhythms with Ryan James Miller
Some people think that doing the right things boils down to willpower. “Force yourself to take on good habits and disciplines and you will.” What a load of garbage!
Frankly, we need something a lot stronger than willpower. We need desire, the deep burning one that connects who we are to what we want most in life.
But desire alone isn’t going to be helpful if your current “desire setting” is to continue chasing happiness in your bad habits. You won’t want to replace them unless you get a taste of something far better.
In this episode, I provide a few simple ways to eliminate bad habits and adopt good ones by connecting who you are to what you want.

The Path to Abundance with Joel Lalgee
Joel Lalgee is a LinkedIn powerhouse, teaching recruiters how to create better content and generate inbound leads.
What Joel has done better than near everyone else on LinkedIn is taking his online connections offline. When Joel and I connected on LinkedIn nearly two years ago, he quickly followed up to schedule a call. We chatted for about 30 minutes and I could tell he really cared about the conversation and was a genuinely great guy.
This episode is packed with so much wisdom on utilizing LinkedIn to build your brand, create community, and help you produce the professional outcomes you are after.
We also hit on the nonsense people are doing (pods, automated connections and messages) to feed their vanity, the mistakes to avoid when using social media to build your brand and business, and how to create referrals and inbound sales opportunities.
No matter who you are, or what industry you are in, you MUST listen to everything Joel has to say here.

Valuing What Matters Most with Ryan James Miller
We often think that one of our biggest problems is that we play too many roles in life.
I challenge that.
One of our biggest problems is that we don’t prioritize the roles we play and therefore, do not assign the appropriate value to the ones that matter most to us.
Episode 130 will help you go through the same exercises I did in order to define, assign, and align your roles to what you value most in life.
This is part 2 in a 9 part series sharing the 9 Pillars of my Foundations to Freedom.

From Unknown to Known with Ryan James Miller
It doesn’t matter how much you fit the “socially desirable template” … you will begin to die inside if you refuse to deepen your identity and character…to truly know yourself.
The sooner you know who you are, the sooner you will be experiencing the freedom to live the life you dream of.
So, here are the first steps to going from “unknown” to “known”…

Transforming Your Mind with Danielle Grant
Danielle Grant is the Founder of Your Mindset Mentor, helping entrepreneurs step into their highest self, next level, and desired reality.
Immediately after Danielle and I were introduced through LinkedIn, I knew we were meant to connect and have this conversation. She’s a powerhouse with a keen sense of self that she utilizes to help other people find theirs.
This episode not only tells the story of how Danielle found her most authentic self through meditation, but how we can do the same. We discussed some deep struggles including why some desire to take their own lives when the pain cuts so deep. This is a great conversation to tune into distraction-free so you can take as much away from it as possible.
Thanks for listening!

My Skeletons Have Names with Shari Lueck
Shari Lueck is the Founder of Unfiltered & On Fire, as well as a Best Selling Author and Integrative Emotional Wellness Coach.
Shari recently released an amazing book last year titled “My Skeletons Have Names” and that alone was intriguing enough to draw me into her story. Our conversation spanned so many topics, but maybe most important of all was the discussion around the experiences of our past and how we can use those to better our present as well as our future.
I hope you are impacted by this conversation the way that I was!

It’s Time to Speak Up with Ryan James Miller
Living a life of authenticity presents many potential challenges. One such challenge for some people is that sharing the things they believe could cause them to lose a job, lose a client, lose a friend, or even lose a family relationship, aka, being canceled.
I was asked a question in this context on a webinar I recently presented.
So what do you do when you fear repercussions from sharing your heart, your beliefs, or even your political views.
Listen in to a few thoughts I have for you.
