19 Lakshmi Natarajan on Courage, Leading (Corporate) Teams Successfully, and Raising Your Kids to Become Global Citizens
Lakshmi Natarajan (travelplusthem.com) is an Indian-American corporate executive, entrepreneur, consultant, world traveler, advisory board member, and most importantly, a daughter, wife, and mother. Lakshmi has over 20 years of experience as a corporate executive and has worked in leadership positions across marketing, sales, strategy, and consulting with companies like American Express, Accenture, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Compass, and numerous clients in various industries.
She recently founded two businesses: Travel Plus Them, a coaching and education company focused on helping families raise global citizens, and Excelador, a business consulting and advisory firm. She has traveled to over 60 countries, over 30 with her young children. Lakshmi's motivation to build her businesses was born from her strengths, experiences, and life priorities. She reached a point where she was unable to give 100% to any aspect of her life—career, family, or herself.
This is something many people, especially mothers, can relate to—wondering if there is something better out there that integrates life values and priorities. Her insights on the path to entrepreneurship, family travel, and raising global citizens have been featured in New York Weekly, Los Angeles Wire, Miami Wire, and US Reporter.
Lakshmi believes in children experiencing and appreciating the world’s diversity and inspiring other moms on their journey to raising inclusive global citizens. She currently resides in Miami, FL with her husband and her 2 daughters.

16 Devon Harris: From the Hood to the Olympics - How Commitment and a Growth Mindset Can Make You Beat All Odds
Born on Christmas Day, 1964 and raised in a violent ghetto environment in Kingston, Jamaica, the greatest gift Devon Harris (devonharris.com) ever received was the belief that a positive attitude and a never say die philosophy would carry him farther than a sense of injustice and a heart filled with anger.
A graduate of the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in England, Devon received a Queen’s Commission in December 1985 and served in the officer corps of the Jamaica Defence Force until December 1992 when he retired as a Captain.
Encouraged by his commanding officer, Devon tried out for and was selected to the first Jamaican bobsled team which competed in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada. Their exploits inspired the Disney blockbuster movie Cool Runnings. Devon also competed in and was captain of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France and the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan.
In 2006, he founded the Keep on Pushing Foundation which aims to support and enhance the education of kids in disadvantaged communities around the globe by providing practical solutions to the challenges that are preventing them from getting educated.
During the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, Devon was honored by the World Olympian Association and inducted as an Olympian For Life in recognition of the significant contribution he has made to society.
He is the author of the motivational children’s book, Yes, I Can! and the semi-autobiographical motivational book Keep On Pushing: Hot Lessons From Cool Runnings.

14 Jodi Medell: Finding Your Happy and Heeding Your Call to Adventure
Jodi Medell (integrationpt.com) has been in the field of physical therapy for almost 30 years. This gives you an idea of how passionate she is about her work. She views herself as someone who sculpts the body with her hands as she finds the core of the problem(s) and works with the tissues to release the restrictions. Jodi finds the osteopathic approach most in alignment with her belief system as it honors a dialogue with the tissue - the belief that the human body is a functional unit and that the body has an inherent ability of autoregulation and healing.
Jodi has been an athlete most of her life. She is fascinated by human movement and the capacity of the human body to change given the forces imposed on it. Much of her vision and drive has been developed through her athletic experiences.
Throughout her career, Jodi has been an entrepreneur with opening up The Running Hub in Santa Fe, NM (Santa Fe’s only running specialty store) and Integration Therapy, LLC both in Santa Fe, NM and Crested Butte, CO.
Jodi is also very passionate about being a mother to her 11-year-old son, running in the mornings, biking, skiing, and working out in her ultimate home gym!

Charly Caldwell II.: The Truth About Successful Online Marketing and Starting Your Business for the 99.9%
Charly Caldwell II. (internetservicesgroup.com & lifeandbusinesssuccess.us) has been in the online-entrepreneurship-game ever since the internet came around.
In 1995, he started "Internet Services of Michigan" based on the biggest lesson he received from one of his mentors, Ed, about the power of recurring revenue. Within 5 short years, Charly's business had over 10,000 active customers which allowed him to sell the business on October 10th of 2000 and retire at the age of 29.
However, he knew that his work wasn't done. Today, Charly feels his purpose is to help individuals, entrepreneurs, and small business owners to create, build, and maintain purposeful, passionate, positive, productive, and profitable lives and businesses.
He's accomplishing that through the 2 businesses he's running today:
- Life and Business Success Group - his online training, speaking, and coaching business which helps thousands around the world fast forward their progress in life and business.
- Internet Services Group of Florida - his Internet Development & Marketing business which builds & maintains a ‘healthy online presence’ for hundreds of businesses around the world.

Patrick Mosher: How He Became a Globally Leading Sales & Marketing Consultant Turned Movement-Starter
Patrick Mosher (patrickmosher.com) is an author, speaker, advisor, consultant, coach, teacher, husband, father, and granddaddy.
He's passionate about helping individuals, teams, and organizations get from Point A to Point B — with energy, momentum, and achieving success!
To Patrick, the key unit of progress is showing up authentically … in 1:1 dialogues, in small groups, teams, and even large-scale change. Authenticity exchanges the most VALUE.
As a Strategic Advisor, Patrick helps individuals and teams make decisions and act with wisdom — blending spirituality, influence, and business strategies to fulfill their life missions with significant impact … changing the world for GOOD!
On over 80 projects over 30 years across 6 continents, he helped Global 1000 executives implement their most complex strategies: post-merger integrations, new company launches, new product launches, huge technology implementations, and global sales academies.
He's a world-class consultant and yet considers himself a 30-year student of human decision-making, motivation, and leadership. His 'secret agenda' on all 80+ projects was looking for that ‘success algorithm’ to customize unique paths for people and organizations to make sound decisions and take the most effective actions to achieve success.
Patrick is a TedX speaker and has been the keynote speaker to international audiences! He also was invited to Brendon Burchard's stage at his High Performance Academy. Brendon himself said: “Patrick is one of the most authentic, inspiring and innovative leaders I've worked with in the Fortune 500. His ability to ask profound questions, deliver more than promised, and coach and mentor coworkers to do what's right for them and others has inspired me to be a better leader … and a better man.”
Patrick also serves on the board for Business Intelligence & Analytics Center at Purdue University and on the board for the Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts in Minneapolis.
The 3 mantras at the core of his being are:
Live 100% Empowered. Learn Deeply. Shine BOLDLY!

Sarah Arnold-Hall: How to Achieve Impossible Goals, Our Worst Business-Mistakes, and Rob Hall's Legacy
Sarah Arnold-Hall (saraharnoldhall.com) and I met at our very first Certified High Performance Coaching Certification in Scottsdale, AZ in 2018 and have been what we came to call process partners ever since. We continue to talk every single week, helping each other through the biggest frustrations and celebrating each other’s greatest wins. This may be the first takeaway for your own Master’s Journey before we even start the show officially: Do you have a process partner in your life who knows exactly what’s going for you because they’re going through the same process so that you can help each other out whenever necessary?
Okay, onto the official intro:
Sarah Arnold-Hall is a High Performance Coach who helps people achieve impossible goals.
Her own impossible achievements include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, hiking to Everest Base Camp, building a full-time location-independent business, walking the red carpet in Hollywood (that’s with people like Jake Gyllenhaal), and she is currently on a mission to hit 100 push-ups in a row.

AngelikA Fürstler: Working with Billionaires, Facing Your Biggest Fears, HighVibe® Food, and Building a Business That's Right for You
AngelikA Fürstler (angelikafurstler.com) was born in Klagenfurt, Austria and, after traveling the world, has found her current home at the Côte d'Azur, France with her husband.
As you will hear during the episode, it's really hard to come up with a clean answer to "So, AngelikA, what do you do?", because she truly is such a polymath. See for yourself:
As an expert on HighVibe® Food and sprouting, AngelikA is the author of multiple books, the creator of multiple online courses, and she has been coaching and consulting many world-class high performers (pro-athletes for example) on the topics of nutrition and health.
In 2013, she also founded Vegan Super Yacht where, at first, she served some of the wealthiest people in the world as their private chef on their yachts. By the way - how would you feel if a billionaire who's got access to basically every chef in the world came up to you and told you that your food was the best they have ever eaten in their life? That's what happened to her.
Demand has been constantly growing and, now, AngelikA is training her own team of Vegan Yacht Chefs.
And if that wasn't enough, AngelikA is also a professional underwater model, actress, the creator of her own short-film 'Lotus', and an environmentalist constantly pushing initiatives to protect the oceans of our planet.
All of these strings are bound together by her mission to inspire and empower people around the world to live their "BlissLife"
