Why Collaboration Breeds Success with Joy McAdams
Joy McAdams is the Chief Relations Officer for MedSnake Media, a firm that helps medical practices put together specialized marketing and business strategies that bring them back to life and produce growth. She’s also a wife, a mother, and an IRONMAN (yup, she’s hardcore).
During this conversation, Joy and I spent time talking about some amazing ways she has helped medical practices grow and become very successful, we discussed how she focuses on work/life collaboration (not balance), and why in the world she decided to attack an IRONMAN.
I am confident you will enjoy this episode!

Motivation Sucks and What Really Works
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Motivation sucks! Well, at least external motivation does.
On this week’s Authentic Conversations, I began by sharing a few thoughts as to why I believe motivation sucks. I then discussed the importance of creating sustainable rhythms to achieve the goals and outcomes you have been chasing (or want to start chasing).
Additionally, I discussed.
Breaking down goals.
Building your days (and week) for success.
Measuring progress.
Rewards to keep things going.
Hope you enjoy!

6 Convictions to Great Leadership
From a live webinar I recently I hosted, I shared the guaranteed ways to ruin your team as a leader and what to do instead along with the convictions that:
1. Our purpose in our organizations is to become a great leader that serves our people and our customers (no title required).
2. We must have the ability to draw others into the direction we desire for our team/organization.
3. We need to have the passion to believe what we are doing is right and the ability to convince others of the same.
4. We must have a continued desire to model learning and growth amongst our team and organization.
5. We must possess the qualities of a great leader including character, credibility, communication, and stewardship.
6. We must build a legacy for our team, our organization, and the clients we serve.

Authentic Conversations Week 3 Live
Over the last few weeks, I have been getting a lot of questions from colleagues, clients, friends, and even strangers in regards to how I am doing during the quarantine. I felt like now was a good time to share my answers, and help other people answer these wonderful questions for themselves. After answering them last week on a live webinar, I decided to share the audio with you here.
Here were the 8 questions I answered
1. What’s your life been like these last few weeks?
2. How have you found ways to succeed in the midst of trials?
3. How are you overcoming loss?
4. Have your habits and disciplines helped you, hurt you, or disappeared?
5. Who, or what, do you turn to when you have a bad day?
6. Do you need help? Can you offer help?
7. What are you building for the future?
8. What are some areas you are focusing on for growth?
Give this episode a listen and let me know how you answered them for yourself.

Screw Being Shy with Mark Metry
Mark Metry is the bestselling author of Screw Being Shy, the host of the Global Top 100 Humans 2.0 Podcast, a sought-after speaker, a Forbes contributor, and has been featured on Amazon Prime’s The Social Movement.
I had the pleasure of hosting Mark on the podcast and we dug deep into the reason for his book, and more importantly, why he is so passionate about helping others with social anxiety. We spent time talking about what social anxiety is, why it’s important to recognize social anxiety is a perception, the benefits of a great diet on mental health, and why fear is important when balanced appropriately.
Mark is a great guy and has accomplished so much already. You will find a ton of value in this episode so check it and let me know what you think.
