A few months back, I was blessed to be invited onto the Rockstars Rocking Podcast, hosted by Eric Silverman. Eric has become a great friend over the last couple of years and even a client.

Helping people to produce the best outcomes in their business
My vlog (video blog) – sharing everyday situations that occur, a way to show authenticity
How COVID19 crushed my business, costing me $20K a month in contracts
How I put myself back together (again) to figure out a new way to keep my business going
Helping people admit when they need help as the only way to make it through

Exceptional Organizations Start at the Top with Jamie Hawkins
Jamie Hawkins is the Founder and CEO of BTR – Benefit Technology Resources, a firm delivering value to its clients through innovative solutions and product partnerships that set the standard of excellence for HR technology.
While I have been fortunate to serve Jamie’s team in a few capacities over the years, I am far more proud to call her a friend. I respect and admire her passion, wisdom, kindness, and ability to lead such a successful organization. When I was reaching out to find the best CEOs in business to have on the podcast, she was absolutely at the top of my list.
During the course of this conversation, we cover so many topics including the importance of having great people around you, the many ways to create long-lasting client relationships, why business leaders must make sacrifices, and Jamie’s crazy passion for fishing.
I cannot recommend this episode enough for all of it’s valuable content. But more importantly, you need to connect with Jamie and her entire team at BTR if you haven’t already.

Reclaiming Your Wonder with Harris III
Harris III is a world-renowned speaker, storyteller and entrepreneur. He is the creator of Transformation Theory and author of the bestselling book, The Wonder Switch.
Harris impacted my life personally back in 2017 when in the midst of a magic show that he was performing for a business conference I attended, he told a story of wonder and imagination that stuck with me to this day. At that point, I began following him on social media and learned last year he was releasing a book, The Wonder Switch.
As I read The Wonder Switch, I further believed in the need to learn from more life growing up and understand not only how my life’s story got me to where I am, but how my life’s story can be used to impact others.
In this podcast episode, Harris and I discuss the misuse of our imaginations as adults, the difference between child-like and childish, the lies we tell ourselves that damage our wonder (and ability to tell our story), his definition of wonder and how to explore it, and so much more. He even blew my mind at the very end with a concept called “liminal space”. I may be new to the party, but it’s definitely a term with digging into (especially in our current times).
Thanks for listening and make sure to connect with Harris III and learn more about The Wonder Switch as well as all of the other amazing stuff he is doing.

Frameworks Make the Dream Work with Jake Jordan
Jake Jordan is the Chief Clarity Officer for Quirk Advertising, the Founder of Impact Over Attention, and a double podcast host (yup, two). He is focused on improving content and messaging performance for cause-driven organizations.
Jake and I met through LinkedIn and I was immediately drawn to his desire to do right and his relentless pursuit of helping individuals and organizations making a positive impact in their communities. I was fortunate to hear Jake share his belief in the benefit of frameworks for business and life, the uniqueness of B-corps, why he loves helping other organizations that operate for good cause, amazing marketing tips, and so much more.
I would also like to apologize upfront as my audio in this episode (due to Zoom issues) was subpar.

Reflecting on 2020 and Projecting for 2021
The year-end often has us considering how well we did, where we measured up, and what we are going to do the following year.
While there are other great practices (and many really bad ones) for reflecting on your year, as well as setting yourself for a new one, I wanted to share a few questions (6 actually) that you can ask yourself to reflect and project.
I hope this episode helps you to not only learn from your efforts over the last year but also causes you to set yourself up for your best year yet in 2021.

Being at Your Best to Bring Your Best with Andy Neary
Andy Neary is a keynote speaker and performance coach. He’s also a former professional baseball player, Ironman athlete, and 20-year veteran of the health insurance industry. But most importantly, at least to me, is he’s a good buddy.
Andy was on the podcast last year and after all of the growth he’s experienced in his business (and life) over the last year, I had to have him back. Here are a few highlights from an episode full of ‘em.
The ultimatum Andy’s girlfriend gave him to shut up or fully commit to the business he dreamed of.
Andy’s realization that the only thing that will stop him, is him.
The fight to be “good enough” (imposter syndrome).
Why self-investment is a huge key to success.
How to improve when adversity hits.
Give this episode a listen and then make sure to connect with Andy. You won’t be disappointed.
