No Approval Needed with Kris Macc
I am super fired up to have my friend Kris Macchiarola back on the podcast. If you remember, Kris was my guest on Episode 9 (Exsellence in Emotional Intelligence) and we had an amazing conversation. It’s my most-listened-to episode to date and if you heard it, you know why.
This time around, we shoot right out of the gate talking about her new book “#NoApprovalNeeded: Women Of The World Talk About Life In Their Forties”. While this book contains stories from women all over the world, it’s a great read for all. We talked about the commitment to writing, why she wrote it, and the beautiful and challenging stories women shared with her. She even sticks me with a couple of very difficult questions women asked of men. I know my answers won’t be popular with everyone (even Kris and I didn’t see eye to eye), but they were honest and from my heart.
Beyond the book, we again dig into:
Emotional intelligence
Overcoming fear, self-doubt, and challenges
Gender equality and the current gaps in society
and so much more
Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

Building a Brand that Builds Itself – Keynote from WBM19
This episode features the audio from a keynote I recently shared titled “Building a Brand that Sells Itself”.
While the audio is not to the quality I prefer, I believe the content and takeaways are worth listening to.
More on this keynote:
By creating a visible and consistent personal brand that demonstrates expertise while communicating a desire to offer value, you will draw your ideal clients to yourself. We must lean into who we are and what makes us great. Then and only then can we create a process to achieve the success we desire.
Through great tragedy, I was inspired to reflect on this very idea of who I had become professionally. I thought I had it dialed in before only to realize I had lost a sense of who I was, clouded by my past successes and failures. Thankfully, my commitment to learn and grow from that experience resulted in me becoming an industry influencer, gaining the respect of my peers and the eye of my ideal clients. And I want the same results for others!
Enjoy!

How to Get a Vision for Your Business (The Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast)
Vision is so important for business….and for life.
Through great tragedy, I was inspired to reflect on the very idea of who I had become professionally. I thought I had it dialed in before only to realize I had lost a sense of who I was, clouded by my past successes and failures. Thankfully, my commitment to learn and grow from that experience resulted in me becoming an industry influencer, gaining the respect of my peers and the eye of my ideal clients. And this allowed me to create a vision like I never had before.
I was fortunate to be invited onto the Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast with Paul Edwards recently. During our conversation, I was able to share the importance of having a vision for your business, nonprofit, ministry or career.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Re-release: Achieving a Lean Culture and Habit of Exsellence with Robert Valentino
Yesterday was Memorial Day. And as I considered those who sacrificed their lives for us, I couldn’t help but think of the time I shared with Robert Valentino. I didn’t know Robert was a former US Army Ranger until we were already recording and while that was surprising enough, the story he told me of one of his best friends losing his life in battle shocked me like never before.
Check out this re-release of an early episode of the Exsellence Mindset podcast. It was a great one!
——————–
Robert Valentino is a Lean Six Sigma consultant and a former US Army Ranger. The experiences, skills, and mindset he acquired during his time in the military are related to Lean Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma is a life and business approach that involves team effort to improve performance and achieve excellence.
In this podcast, Robert discusses the culture in the military and how it applies to life and in business. He believes that servant leadership, perseverance, going beyond your threshold, trust in your team, and adding value are the true keys to achieving success and excellence.
