In this episode, Morry opens up about his decades-long battle with depression, the unconventional paths he explored in search of relief, and the pivotal role brainwave entrainment played in changing his life. Jennifer and Morry discuss what brainwave entrainment really is, how our brains shape the way we perceive and respond to the world, and why being present in the moment is so crucial for growth and healing.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! In this episode, host Jennifer Glass sits down with Willie Nicol, a former police officer who now dedicates his career to coaching men through some of life’s toughest moments. Drawing from more than three decades in law enforcement and his own transformative journey into coaching, Willie brings a unique—and refreshingly candid—perspective to the conversation about why men often hesitate to reach out for help.
Jennifer and Willie kick things off by discussing the cultural and personal reasons that lead men to “tough it out” in silence, from fear of appearing weak to anxiety about being judged. Willie opens up about his initial skepticism toward coaching and how his own experience being made redundant after a long policing and corporate security career led him to reconsider—and ultimately embrace—the value of seeking support. He explains how deeply ingrained attitudes about self-reliance can be both a strength and a stumbling block, and shares how he uses humor, honesty, and a toolkit built on coaching, NLP, and even hypnotherapy to help men crack open their potential.
Throughout the episode, Jennifer poses important questions about confidence, motivation, and the cyclical challenges that can leave anyone, but especially men, feeling stuck or lost. Willie provides relatable examples of the issues men face—from marriage breakdowns and career setbacks to simply losing their “mojo”—and offers practical advice for anyone looking to take the first steps toward positive change. The episode also explores the power of gratitude, the importance of self-awareness, and why small gestures of kindness—towards ourselves and others—can have lifelong impact.
Whether you’re a man silently confronting life’s hurdles, someone supporting a loved one, or just interested in why we all struggle with asking for help, you’ll find plenty of wisdom and encouragement in this inspiring conversation. Willie’s approachable style and Jennifer’s thoughtful questions make for a compelling listen that’s sure to spark new perspectives—and maybe even help you rediscover your own mojo.

Welcome to a special Independence Day episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! As the United States celebrates its 249th birthday, host Jennifer Glass invites you to reflect on the bold spirit that inspired our nation’s birth—and how that same spirit is essential for business owners today. Jennifer takes us back to the revolutionary courage of America’s founders, who dared to fight for true freedom and self-determination against overwhelming odds. She challenges entrepreneurs to consider whether they’re truly independent in their businesses, or if they’re still chained to bad clients, overwhelming workloads, and companies that can’t run without them.
In this episode, Jennifer dives deep into what real freedom looks like for business owners. It’s not just about waving flags and watching fireworks, but about gaining financial independence, creating systems that generate income even when you’re not there, and building lasting profit rather than just chasing revenue. She reminds us that our customers play a central role—the true “bosses” in our businesses—and urges us to nurture those relationships thoughtfully. Jennifer also emphasizes the importance of stepping away, trusting your team, and avoiding burnout, so both you and your employees can enjoy the true rewards of entrepreneurial life.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. In today's conversation, host Jennifer Glass introduces us to Jessica Soodeen—a powerhouse who has journeyed from the fast-paced circuits of motorsports racing to empowering others through emotional and social intelligence coaching.
Jessica's story is a testament to embracing life’s pivots. What began as a rigged win at a motorcycle lesson fundraiser and a background in mechanical engineering soon propelled her into the intense, male-dominated world of racing. With grit and curiosity, Jessica not only competed in motorsports but earned advanced degrees and raced at over 200 kilometers per hour, building engines in her living room and coaching others along the way.
But Jessica’s path didn’t end at the finish line. Drawing from her experiences on and off the track, she shifted gears to help organizations and individuals understand and improve their emotional and social intelligence. In her dynamic keynote addresses, Jessica uses motorsports as a metaphor to highlight the importance of preparation, psychological safety, repetition under pressure, and—perhaps most importantly—self-regulation and self-forgiveness.
In this episode, Jessica and Jennifer dive deep into what it truly means to pivot both personally and professionally, why having multiple strategies ready makes change more manageable, and how emotional intelligence can be the secret sauce to navigating challenges in and out of the boardroom. Jessica shares actionable tips for recognizing, naming, and managing emotions, all while weaving in vibrant analogies pulled straight from the racetrack.

Whether on stage speaking to hundreds, at a racetrack, or an office setting, Jessica has a unique ability to make everyone she encounters feel seen and heard. Her energy, filled with curiosity and wonder, is contagious. Her first career as a mechanical design engineer took her around the world, and her adventurous spirit led her to a new challenge: earning a Master’s degree in Motorsport Race Engineering. This pivot, born from her passion for road racing motorcycles, a hobby she picked up later in life, opened new avenues for her. Jessica has worked as a track-side engineer and driver coach, fully immersing herself in the world of motorsports. She even built her own motors in her living room, pulled wrenches for other teams, and immediately began coaching others on mindset. Now, Jessica uses all these experiences to deliver dynamic keynote speeches that teach emotional and social intelligence lessons uniquely using motorsports analogies. She also facilitates Relational Skills workshops that bring teams together, focusing on problem solving, conflict resolution through civil communication skills, and decision making processes.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. On the last episode, we spoke about leading with passion, but let's talk today about developing those leadership skills that we need in our business. There's a couple of issues that we really need to be thinking about when we look at developing those leadership skills. We know first of all, what are some of those key leadership skills that we all need to develop and how can leaders and team members work together to create a culture of leadership within that team.
In today's episode of MOJO, we dive into the topic of developing leadership skills. Effective leadership is crucial for success in both life and business. So, what are some of these key skills and how can we cultivate a culture of leadership within our teams?
One vital skill that every leader should possess is effective communication. Communication is not just the responsibility of the leader, but it should also flow freely between the leader and team members. In this episode, we explore how improved communication skills, such as active listening, giving and receiving feedback, and clarity in expression, can enhance the overall performance of a team and align everyone towards shared goals.
Next, we tackle the importance of problem-solving in leadership. Often, problems can seem overwhelming and insurmountable, causing us to feel stuck. However, through critical thinking, asking the right questions, and brainstorming solutions, leaders and team members can effectively identify and address the specific areas that hinder progress. We'll also discuss the mindset shift from perceiving challenges as problems to viewing them as opportunities for growth and innovation.
Another crucial aspect of leadership is decision-making. Overthinking and analysis paralysis can hinder progress and prevent us from seeing the bigger picture. We delve into strategies for making sound decisions quickly and confidently, while still considering the risk-reward ratio and long-term consequences. We'll also explore the importance of knowing when to pivot and change course if needed, ensuring that we don't persist with ineffective strategies.
Lastly, we discuss the often overlooked skill of delegation. Many leaders tend to take on too much, thinking they need to do it all themselves. However, delegating tasks efficiently and effectively to the right people can alleviate overwhelm, free up valuable time, and ensure that each team member is utilizing their strengths to the fullest. We'll explore the benefits of delegating tasks that are not in line with our expertise or worth more to our business if performed by someone else.
So, if you're ready to enhance your leadership skills and create a culture of leadership within your team, join us in this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. Together, we'll uncover the key skills, strategies, and mindsets that will empower you to lead with confidence and achieve success.

Welcome to another episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business. I'm your host, Jennifer Glass, and today we have a special episode focused on reviews. Yes, reviews - those powerful nuggets of feedback that can make or break a business.
In this episode, we'll dive deep into the art of asking for reviews effectively. It's not just about boosting our own ego, but about providing valuable information to potential prospects and helping them make informed decisions.
You see, reviews should address potential objections and answer questions that others may have. And here's the thing: objections are essentially questions in a different form. That's why we believe reviews should help potential customers understand what they can expect.

This is the podcast where we explore the deep and meaningful aspects of life and business, seeking to uncover the true meaning behind it all. It's a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and finding purpose in our professional ventures.
Now, let's talk reviews. We'll explore the various platforms where reviews can be acquired, from Google to Facebook, Yelp, and beyond. We'll discuss the importance of addressing uncertainty and ensuring that potential participants understand the benefits of our investment opportunity.
But we don't just want any reviews. We want reviews that clearly outline the initial lack of clarity about the program and how it eventually became clear what benefits participants would receive. We want reviews that answer the questions others may have, helping them make an informed decision about joining us.
So, dear listeners, I kindly request - no, implore - you to leave a review for the show. Share your thoughts, ask questions, and help us provide the valuable information potential prospects are seeking. Together, let's make MOJO a beacon of wisdom and guidance for those in search of meaning and success. Welcome to MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business - Reviews.

As small business owners, we often find ourselves taking on too many tasks that can often be outsourced to others to allow us to focus on the big picture.
But, many of us also are "perfectionists" or those who are so stuck in the weeds, we often forget or know what we can give someone else to do to free up our time.
How do we get there and how do we know that when we hand off a project to someone else, it will get done?
That's where my guest comes in. MerriLyn Gibbs has been working with entrepreneurs and professionals for a long time and has been helping those people with a view toward getting them more freedom and time to do the things that are more important in the business than those tasks many of us simply don't enjoy doing. As an example, how many entrepreneurs set out to do the bookkeeping (except if that's your business!)? Not many. I know for me, I hate doing that piece but it's a necessity to know one's numbers.

In business, there are so many areas that a business owner needs to focus on as s/he goes through his/her day. One area many business owners forget though is tax planning and that can have disastrous consequences for the business!
Listen in as I sit down with William (Bill) DeMarco and we talk about tax planning, succession plans, and business protection in this episode.
About my guest: William (Bill) DeMarco's focus is on using a comprehensive financial planning process and tax planning to help families, professionals, and small business owners to develop a plan that guides them to reach their goals, save on taxes, and gives them peace of mind.
Bill believes in the value of earning trust and building lifelong relationships and his passion in helping people guides him on how he approaches his clients, making it all about what is best for the client.
There are some times that we simply need to take a step back and listen to what we're feeling and how we're looking at life if we really want to get ahead. It's when we completely ignore these thoughts and feelings that we end up getting reckless and stop thinking straight as my guest did before he started listening to what was going on inside.
About my guest: Layne Gneiting has lived two lives. In his 'first life,' he was angry, entitled, addicted, and trapped. Cycling home at night from grad school he played Russian roulette with traffic lights, risking collision to end the pain.
Then he took a wild adventure and became alive again.
Since then he’s cycled 49 countries, stayed with complete strangers, racked up hundreds of stories, and helped clients “reshape their lives” through what they call “an immersive adventure of awakening.”

One of the best investments that we're always told about is real estate. Owning land has always been one of those generational wealth builders and so it probably makes sense for everyone to at least know of options when it comes to owning land.
Sometimes, owning undeveloped land and holding onto it for a while can be a big gain and that's where my guest, Brad Warren comes in. Brad has been helping people purchase land in the LA area of California and helping those people build wealth. As with all investments though, it is incumbent on you to speak with a qualified advisor who can give you specific information as it relates to your own situation.
About Brad: Brad Warren was a national and international speaker, author, seminar leader, and business coach. He traveled to 19 foreign countries and 27 of the United States over the last 40 years, teaching a wide range of business courses, including time management, communication skills, lead generation, and negotiation skills. He's also coached over 500+ business owners on goal setting and accomplishment, business planning and implementation, and how to be more effective and productive. He is the 2014 recipient of the Bay East Association of Realtors Affiliate of the Year award and the author of Just Sold! The Real Estate Professionals Guide to Selling More in Less Time. He’s spoken at the National Association of Realtors 2016 and 2017 Annual Conventions on Time Block Your Way to Success with Less Stress! and he’s also certified to teach The ONE Thing, based on the national best-seller of the same name by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. After 40+ years as a business coach, speaker, and trainer, Brad transitioned to a new career as a land banking consultant, helping patient investors build generational wealth by investing in land.

We've all likely faced this problem... those times when nothing seems to be going your way. What we do and how we react to those changes really make a big difference in our ability to get by. And what does the way that we handle these situations say about our leadership style and ability to lead others?
What about understanding where we fit into the overall picture of a company - are we operating in a silo or are we part of the overall ecology of the corporate being sharing responsibility for its successes and growth as a team rather than individuals?
Then there is the mindset shift of changing from looking at what you/your company does in one way and understanding it may be much larger than that.
These are all ways that we can grow as people, as leaders, and as companies.
About John: John Cunningham, trained as an engineer and worked as an IT specialist, working with various computer systems before entering management in his mid-twenties. That's where John began to learn the difference between management and leadership, and how leadership can be drowned out by poor management. John started his own consulting and coaching business and has been running that for the last 20 years, where he offers an unusual range of capabilities, including sales, marketing, growth, organizational, and personal development services to his clients. John's focus is now mostly, and why people are organizations are stuck at a certain level, and how to break through to that next level, yet remain focused on what it is that is fulfilling. As John says, fulfillment is more rewarding than money. But you have to know what fulfills you.

When you think about passion, what do you think of?

That's where my guest comes in and we dive into what is it that we really want, how can we make it happen and start living and being better.

What does it mean to live, eat and work for the future?
To some, this may mean that we need to pay attention to what we are doing today and how it impacts our future selves.
But it could also be about how we address the environmental and ecological issues of what we do today that could have a broad impact on our collective tomorrows. As my guest, Donna Maltz, put it: if we don't address the disposable nature of today, we won't have a good tomorrow.
Sure, there are certain ways that every now and then we all need plastics and disposable containers. But can we limit how much we consume of those materials?
The more we can focus on the future while we live, eat and work today, we may see a better future ahead.

What's the difference between a referral partner and a champion in business networking?
A champion is more intentional and helps a business grow in a more consistent way than a regular referral partner, who helps based on timing and opportunity.
For someone starting out in business and new to networking, they should focus on being prepared and intentional at networking events. They should make a list of 2-3 people they really want to meet at the event, who could help with their business such as insurance agents, mortgage brokers, or business coaches.
The champion training process is a unique feature offered to members, which allows them to build champions. The process is what sets the organization apart in the market.
We highlight the importance of having champions in your network, who can help you find ideal clients. We also discuss how focusing on relationships instead of outcomes makes outcomes more predictable. Having these partnerships doesn't have to cost a lot and can be done in a way that holds the bottom line while maximizing profit. Finding and connecting with the people who need your services is where it makes the most sense.
About my guest: Clayton Hicks is an entrepreneur with a portfolio of 5 different companies, an author, a speaker, and a trainer on professional relationships.

How many times have you forgotten about the joy in what you do? Or being authentic in business? What about learning from mentors and your failures (if any) to help you do better?
In this episode, I talk with Rod Bourn about many of these types of issues and how Rod went about finding a mentor to improve himself in various aspects of life, such as being a better spouse, parent, professional, etc. Rod suggests that it is important to find someone who is better than oneself in a specific area, and then to ask them for advice and guidance. This is a way to improve oneself and reach a higher level of success. He also notes that it can be difficult to initiate this kind of conversation, but it is a valuable way to learn and grow.
We also touch on what to look for in a mentor, how to work with them and how to really get back to doing what we love.
About Rod: With a passion to improve people and organizations, Rod has worked in organizational development and leadership programming positions in a variety of industries including manufacturing, services, and higher education.

It is important for entrepreneurs to understand their target audience and tailor their messaging and approach to effectively communicate with them. Focusing on the buyer's journey and identifying ways to help them succeed can help to build trust and establish a stronger connection with potential customers.

Whether you work in the for-profit world or the non-profit sector, there are a lot of truths involved in how you run your organization and the people that you have on your team.
In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Hyman and we talk about some of the ways that non-profit organizations function and some interesting stories of boards that sometimes may not connect the dots and those that get the point and can find ways to connect with their constituents - donors/investors, community leaders and more.
About Ryan: Ryan Hyman was born in South Africa but has now lived in the New York area, except for a five-year stint on the West Coast, for most of his life. After graduating college, Ryan embarked on the beginning of his not-for-profit journey, before being wooed away to the world of commercial real estate finance for a decade. But the not-for-profit world kept whispering in his ear, "come back, come back!" So Ryan returned to the not-for-profit world where he created the first development department at a local school and has occupied several positions building his skills in the fundraising realm. In 2016, Ryan created rh Strategic as a side gig to help organizations that approached him for help on occasion. Today, rh Strategic helps diverse not-for-profit clients across the United States as a full-service consulting firm.

How much are you focused on your own personal and professional development?
How much do you pay attention to your own needs when you're looking at how you may need to grow? Are you actively investing in training, programs, self-care, and more to focus on what you need or are you letting the world tell you what to be doing next?
If you're not focused on what you need to know, you're going to lose many opportunities and more.
On this episode, I sit down with Greg Chapman, where we talk about personal and professional development and some of the ways that Greg has come to recognize what it was that he needed to focus on as he transitioned from one career to another in the midst of a global pandemic.

What does it mean to have a hobby business and how would one go about moving from a hobby business to a thriving full-time business?
Early on in a business's life cycle, there are many decisions that need to be made and thoughts about how to generate interest. If any of these pieces are not done, it may end up being a severe threat to your business's ultimate success.
And once we're in business, there are even more issues on how we go about selling, how we talk to prospective people that we want to work with and more that continue the journey to get people wanting to work with us and being successful.
In this episode, I talk with Christine Campbell Rapin about how she works with female professionals looking to stop working themselves to the ground for little to no profit and how small changes can make a big impact in their business's success.

For many people, the thought of getting old is scary, but in reality, it doesn't have to be. As the saying goes, "age is just a number" can really apply here IF we are focused on what it is that we need to be doing.
My guest, Christine A Smith, talks about her new book, "The Act of Aging" and the prompts that she includes in the book to help us deal with the challenges that we may face at some point later in our lives and how we can deal with those challenges and tough conversations NOW when we are fully capable of handling those concerns.
Nobody prepares you for how you're going to feel in the THIRD third of your life. There is plenty of help for financial, retirement, and estate planning. What we need are instructions for pre-planning healthy emotions and relationships.
In "The Act of Aging" series, author Christine A. Smith (founder of PreAct Your Age and the Aging Better Network) shows us how to navigate today our future feelings. She describes each challenge as an Aspect of Aging. It is how we address those concerns that really set us apart.
About Christine: Christine A. Smith has spent hours…and years…in many private residences. She has served alongside hundreds of family caregivers in these homes. Loved ones of her clients confided concerns for their own future aging. Those relatives, associates, and friends ALSO described successful pre-planning.
Christine’s concept started with a SIGH. Not just that ‘sigh of regret’, but SIGHS OF RELIEF. These are the sounds in the voices of people who are facing their futures. Between work shifts, Christine wrote The Act of Aging book, scribble scraps of ideas for the Aging Better Network website, and created the PreAct Your Age VERY Prompted Journal.

For many people, speaking in front of a large room is really scary. As the saying goes, many people would prefer to be IN the coffin instead of giving the eulogy!
But, you do not need to dread speaking in front of rooms or groups of people when you have a heart-centered focus on what you do which is exactly what my guest on this show, Nikól Rogers, and I discussed.
Pulling on Nikól's experiences as an actress, Nikól realized that if you put aside those negative emotions and concerns, you end up coming off as more believable and approachable. As a result, Nikól created the ZenRed Method to help entrepreneurs be more comfortable while speaking.

Some entrepreneurs believe that all that is necessary to succeed is putting a product out on the market and that miraculously, people will buy it.
The truth is there are many more steps needed to ensure that your product or service will be desired by the marketplace.
In this episode, I talk with David Fradin from Spice Catalyst about the keys to product success - from topics like how to use the right strategies to market your product or service to having an understanding of what the market is telling you and when to listen to outside ideas instead of internal departments as Kodak did when it canned its digital film department!

It seems that everywhere you look, we're being hit with negative news.
Whether it's the war in Ukraine, inflation, Covid, or crime... The list goes on and on.
What can we do to avoid negativity?
How can we "see the light?"
That's where my guest, Brielle Wohlenhaus, comes in!

Recently, many brands have come under attack for changing their loyalty programs. Some have changed simply because of inflation, while others are changing to make things better for us.
But, is loyalty a one-way street, or do we need to see loyalty going both ways?
Listen in as we dive into that very idea and how paying attention to loyalty can be a major win for brands and businesses.
For many new entrepreneurs, marketing in and of itself is often left to be done when they have time. Marketing is also thought of as an afterthought and the biggest piece of marketing, having a clear market dominating position- something that sets you apart from your competitors and tells people they have to be foolish to not work with you - is something that is not even thought of. And it’s not your fault if you are in this same position because you weren’t taught to think this way. Having a clear understanding of what makes you different is key but your prospects need to see and understand the same thing. They need to see you as the expert and someone they know, like, and trust. How you get there will determine how well you may or may not do in your market.
Many times, people get hung up on the idea that they have to be big or famous in order to speak at events. Many events, however, are looking for speakers on a regular basis. Event organizers are also looking for sponsors for those events as well.
What you do to get in as a speaker, or a sponsor of an event, can really dictate the kind of success that you may see as a result of being part of that event.
When you can be a speaker or a sponsor of the event, people start seeing you in a different light. They start believing that you are an expert in that particular area, and somebody that they should be speaking with.
It is time that you start thinking strategically about your events: how are you speak at them and do you sponsor those events?
There are many aspects of a business that are somewhat important to be paying attention to. These metrics typically are known as Key Performance Indicators or KPIs, but NONE of the metrics are as valuable as the ones we discuss here - leads, conversions, transactions, pricing & profit. Combined, these five areas account for about 80% of your revenue and should be the primary focus of your day.
Listen in and find out why!

Many people think that leaving a legacy is only what they do after they pass, however, legacy can be so much more than that.
Listen in, as we discussed ways that you can be thinking about leaving behind information and value about you, and your business, even while you are still here.
Have you ever experienced a situation where you were trying to work with a business and no matter what happened, they couldn't find a way to get out of their own way and make the sale happen?
If you are the business in that very situation, there are many issues to think about. How do you avoid repeating those situations and what can you do to make your customers happy to want to work with you again?
A good friend of mine is currently out of commission and has been for a few days now. As a business owner, that can be a devastating blow to the business if SYSTEMS are not in place to address these concerns.
Are you properly setup in YOUR business to ensure that you don't fail if you are unexpectedly taken out of the game for a period of time?
Many people have negative feelings about or believe that sales is bad. People also believe that money can be bad too.
I was recently a speaker on a panel where we were talking about ways that you can improve your sales. One of the items discussed was centered on cold calling and feeling "dirty" after making those calls.
How do you get over feeling bad? You need to lead with service and value first!
Listen in and let me know what you think!
What is your vision?
The late Steve Jobs said, "If you are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you."
Too many people fear Mondays because they don't like their job - whether they are their own boss or work for someone else - while others love Mondays because they love or care about what they do.
What about you?
Many people get bogged down with the idea that something happens TO them and not that they are in control.
Do you find yourself feeling this way too?
Knowing how you can get around that idea and start believing YOU are in control of your life, the easier it gets to get more done and more accomplished.

Too many people think they can go to every event that is FREE. After all, it's free, so why not go?
The problem that we have is that we only have so many hours in our life to do the things that we want to do. If we go to something free, just because it's free, what are we not doing?
And on top of that, many people go to these free events/trainings and take copious notes but don't act on anything they learned. Why did they go if to not take action?
The millionaire mindset says how much time is this going to take and to take action on what we need to do. Will you take action now?
Ever since the dawn of man, we have been wondering what the meaning of life is. For some, the meaning of life is doing good. For others, it is about being present while for some, it's about them.
That's not what my guest on this show though is talking about. He's showing us why there is so much more and gives us a few specific steps that we can take to be better, more present, and be there for humanity's sake.

There is a famous Biblical verse, "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold" (Proverbs 22:1) that teaches us the importance of having a good name.
For some people, that means being selfless and helping others, sometimes at their own expense.
How does this verse though tell us what we need to do as it relates to life & business?
That's what we'll look at in this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life & Business
How well do you understand the world of finance? That may sound like a loaded question but when you start to look at money and investments of time/money, you start thinking more strategically than most people.
Listen in as Jennifer walks you through why thinking in the "dollars and cents" mindset can put you behind and how having a clear understanding of some basic financial tools can be a major boost to your life & business!
There are many things that we do every day that help us to understand what it means to really live life.
How we go about living our life is also key to our understanding of the meaning of life.
What brings meaning to your life?
We all know that one person who seems to be a control freak. Whether it is because they are a perfectionist and feel they need to do everything on their own (I admit, I used to be that person!) or because they feel that without it, they lose a part of themselves, some people are stuck in control mode.
We often know that some things are within our control - things like how much exercise we get, how many hours of sleep we get, the kind of food we eat, and more. Likewise, we know some things that are not in our control - things like other drivers' erratic behavior on the road, legislation and/or regulations that may impact our business, etc.
It is how we manage both the things that are under our control and those that aren't that make the difference in how well we get through the day and how successful we may be.
Listen in as we take a deep dive into control and how we might need to let go of some things for our own mental and physical wellbeing.
We are nearing the end of another quarter and the end of the 1st half of 2022. What does that mean for you - in business and in life?
For those super successful people, it means setting new goals. It means evaluating where you have gotten based on the goals you have set for yourself over the last two quarters. It means confirming you are on track to complete 2022's goals - financial, personal, spiritual, etc. all without fail.
Are you on track too?
According to an online definition of Influence, being influential is: "The definition of influential is someone or something that has an impact on or shapes how people act or how things occur. A person who convinces others to listen and do what he suggests is an example of an influential person. adjective."
In this episode, we look at key people of influence and how you can find the people that you want to be connected with to ensure that you can get in front of the right people.
How will you use your "seat at the table" to help influence others?
Too many people believe that their past is indicative of their future performance. Even financial investments carry a disclaimer that past performance does not mean future performance will be equal, so why do people still feel the same will be their future?
That's exactly what we talk about in this episode of the "MOJO: The Meaning of Life & Business" podcast with my guest, Tim Croll. Listen in and see what you have been telling yourself and perhaps if it's time for a change in your outlook.

We've all had those negative thoughts that tell us that we shouldn't take action or do something.
Sometimes, it's because it seems like it is simply too big of a deal for us to get started.
Sometimes, it's because we don't know what we don't know.
Planning without action is simply thought.
We need to look at getting started and focus on the small things that we can do to get started and take action.
Seeing how we can get through one task and then another allows us to focus in on those small milestones thereby bringing what we started to fruition.
As the great Zig Ziglar said, "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."
Are you doing what you do for yourself or are you looking at how what you do/offer can make a difference in your community and for the world at large?
For many people, the simplest thought is "I do what I do for me" and they don't worry about others.
Yet, for some -- like me -- it is all about how can we make the world a better place. Finding new ways to give back to your community - be it through volunteering your time, donating much-needed funds or resources to organizations that support certain causes near and dear to your heart or otherwise getting involved with something bigger than you can actually lead to a much happier life!
Listen in as we go into the idea of giving back and how it really may be just what the doctor ordered!

This week is National Recovery Week and in honor of that, we are pleased to bring you an episode where we talk about opiates and other substance abuse and addiction recovery programs for anyone that may need that help.
According to a CDC study, in the first 12-months of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an estimated 100,306 drug overdose deaths in the US, an increase of more than 28% from the same period the year before.
The number of people who really need help, according to my guest Michael Brier, versus the reported number of people seeking help today and those who need it is probably 10x! There are about 2 million people currently getting help where Michael estimates the true number is about 20 million people and that's only the tip of the iceberg as we're still dealing with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic - the isolation, masking requirements, changes in routine and more.
How we go about helping these people and identifying who really needs help is our challenge and finding new ways to help those affected by substance abuse and reducing the stigma associated with seeking help is key to helping those impacted. We need more people to know that substance abuse may be a covered benefit by medical insurance plans (you'll need to check with your particular plan for more details to ensure coverage) and know how to take advantage of these services.
If you are someone in need of help or a family member seeking help for someone, please either search for local recovery solutions or reach out to Michael at https://www.drughelp.com.
About Michael: Michael Brier is the CEO of the fastest growing addiction treatment group, Recovery Connection. He is a serial entrepreneur and a passionate social impact investor. His book “The Silent Pandemic” rocketed to #1 on the Best Seller List. Michael has been featured on numerous media and podcasts speaking on either business or healthcare matters.

In this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life & Business, we sit down with Coach Gail Jones and discuss "being stuck" and worthiness.
Whether you had an upbringing where you were shown love and worthiness or weren't shown or taught self-worth and self-esteem, many adults are still battling those issues today.
How can you start overcoming the lack of self-esteem and self-worth? That's exactly what Gail and Jennifer talk about on this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life & Business.

One of the first strategies I like to work on with my clients is helping them lower their costs.

What exactly is thought leadership? Leadership is all about what is it that you are doing to make a difference in the lives of others. The problem that so many people have though is they either don’t know how to become a thought leader, or when they are trying to be seen as a thought leader, they are doing it in a we to boost their own egos and not to really be helping others.
Listen in as we discuss what a thought leader really is, and what you need to do if you want to be seen as a thought leader in your industry.
I’d also be curious to know, how are you going to change what it is that you were going to do? Let me know, please.

That's exactly what we talk about in this session with my guest, Tina Larsson from The Folson Group.

According to the official definition of the term, "burnout," it is defined as being in a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.
We know that many people experience burnout at some point in their lives or careers.
Perhaps you are feeling it right now.
But there are ways to avoid feeling burnout or experiencing it.
Listen in as we go through what burnout is, how you can identify when you may be suffering from burnout and how to avoid it.
Do you have a mentor or coach to help guide you through life or business?
"The greatest and most successful people have coaches." This is a saying that one of my coaches uses very often and shows it by pointing out how some of the biggest names in sports and film & stage have multiple coaches to help them grow.
Think about it for a second - if you're an athlete, you have your coaches who tell you when to swing or stretch a double into a triple. You have your coaches who tell you when to go for the field goal or go for it on 4th down.
If you're an actor, you need your coaches to help you have the right "voice" for the part - whether it is an accent, a louder voice for the people in the back of the theater to hear you or how to come off on camera - the voice is important. But it's also about the acting itself. We wouldn't have actors that win the Academy Award for Best Actor/Actress if they weren't any good, right? How many of those actors do you think do it alone?
The same is true in life and business. We all need people - formally AND informally - to be there to give us guidance and support us in our goals and dreams.
We need people to show us the "shortcuts" to get us where we want to be and not be lost trying to figure it all out.
Having the right people in your corner is key to your success and growth - whether it is in your personal life or professional - so that you can reach your dreams.
Knowing who to have in your corner though as that guide is really important as you do not want to have someone that may not be ideally suited for your situation.
So, how do you find the right person?
It's a bit like trying on shoes - a lot of testing, but when you find that pair that fits, you don't let it go. It's the same when you find a mentor or coach that meshes with you and your situation - you never want to let them go either because the more success you have in what you're doing, you know they're seeing it too and celebrating with you.
If you are looking for a business mentor/coach, perhaps we should be speaking as that is what I do - and love helping my clients find those breakthroughs and new opportunities to make even more opportunities happen down the road! Check out https://www.bgsicoaching.com for more information.
What does it mean to think critically or strategically?
Whether in life or in business, how you look at the issues you're facing or questions that come up often dictates the way that you operate and move forward when dealing with those issues.
But knowing how to think and look at issues through a critical lens can often help you shape the outcome to your favor as opposed to operating by the seat of your pants!
Listen in as Jennifer and Dana Sills go through what thinking strategically looks like and operates to help you reach the goal and your success!
About Dana: Dana Sills is originally from Boston, MA. She moved to Atlanta as a young girl when her father was transferred to Atlanta to design the rail system for what would be later known as MARTA.

What is your story and how do you share your story to make an impact?
My guest on this show is a good friend of mine, Rachel Beck, who has shared her incredible story in her book, "Finding Your Way When Life Changes Your Plans" about many of her experiences facing racism, health issues, and more. Rachel's story, in and of itself, would seem like much of what many have had to deal with over the years here in America and abroad. But, Rachel brings in stories and shares her personal truths as she rips open many of the wounds of the past in her book.
Knowing how to share one's story and how to help others is extremely important - not only in business or life - but for humanity's sake. We need to keep reminding others of how issues may arise and keep us reminded of where we're going to avoid repeating mistakes of the past.
Listen in as Jennifer and Rachel talk about each other's stories and how you can possibly relate, especially as we are dropping this episode on International Women's Day 2022!
About Rachel: Rachel Beck is a rising voice in the movement of women’s storytelling. It is rooted in a cross-cultural, adoptive-family love story unlike any other. Lifted up by wings strengthened through struggle, Rachel’s story flies in the face of society’s expectations for women to look a “certain way” and slip comfortably into the American Dream. Not that our cultural dreams aren’t beautiful, yet what happens when life changes our plans?
Rachel’s heartbreakingly humorous anecdotes of initially coping, then soul-searching, and ultimately releasing anger at her body and the world shines with insight into the deepest core questions of human relationships and identity. Who am I, and why am I here in this wild world, really? With vulnerability and grace, Rachel simultaneously captures and frees the emotions surrounding all sides of adoption, her intense encounters with racism, her path to a loss of motherhood, and her courageous renaissance — illustrating how “the end” of one road is only the beginning of another…and the unforeseen is also beautiful and perhaps more fulfilling than we could have ever imagined.

For many people, one of the best ways to reach more people is through the power of public speaking. Podcasting is one form of public speaking that can be very advantageous for professionals looking to reach a broader audience.
How do you get started though and what should one be looking for when considering launching a new podcast?
That's where Luke Jean-Louis and Jennifer Glass come in where they talk about podcasting and give you some ideas that you can use if you are considering launching your own podcast, or if you already are podcasting, perhaps remind you of something you already knew but needed to be reminded of the same.
About Luke Jean-Louis: Luke Jean-Louis hosts The Deep Voice Man Show where guests can promote themselves, share their expertise, and impart their life lessons. Starting the show has been life changing for him because it has expanded his network. Through the podcast he has been introduced to several opportunities and amazing individuals.
As a result of hosting the podcast, he realized that he wanted to exit the Rat Race and have time freedom. The guests he spoke to inspired him to do so. After researching and experimenting with several different methods, he decided on his exit path: helping businesses expand.

Do you know how much your business is worth?
Did you know that business owners typically need about 3-5 years to prepare their business for sale, and it can take up to a year to actually sell a business? In general, business owners are normally not educated about the process and what is important for them to do in the years leading up to a transition of ownership.
So what are you to do if you want to be in a position to sell your business?
Listen in as Jennifer interviews Cheryl Venezia from Murphy Business Sales of Madison where they talk about ways that you can start preparing your business for a possible exit in a few years from now and what steps you should be taking immediately if this is even a remote possibility.
About Cheryl: Cheryl Venezia spent her early career working in public accounting performing audits of large public companies. She then worked for almost 30 years at UBS PaineWebber working internally as an accountant within various divisions. Cheryl then decided to become a business broker in order to use her financial and interpersonal skills to help others achieve their goals.

If they say the future belongs to the kids, it's never more apparent than in the way that we need to look at what our kids are learning and how they are participating in the world today. From the lessons we teach them in school and at home to the opportunities they are given, "our children," to quote the great Whitney Houston, "are our future. Teach them well to let them lead the way."
In this episode, Jennifer speaks with Winston Ashby about his unique way to help the kids in the Santa Clara, CA area learn more about the entrepreneurial journey and helping them get a leg up on life through action. To quote Winston: "Here's the changes I want to see in my community and let them be the voices of that change and lead that change and galvanize their community. Because once they learn anything, they're learning business skills, they're learning leadership skills."
About Winston: Winston Ashby is a native of Providence, Rhode Island; a single parent, African American leader of a nonprofit organization who lives in the community that he serves, Ashby raised 2 sons and while experiencing disparities for him, his children, and other families of color in Santa Clara County, Mr. Ashby stressed that youth need to be provided the opportunity to have their voices heard, be prepared to deal with conflict, feel like they are safe and valued by their community.
Winston still leads activities for Oakland youth and partners with organizations such as the National Federation of Teachers Entrepreneur Education.

Have you ever been out on a date?
Do you think about creating a relationship in business when starting or closing a deal?
These two ideas are not exclusive to either life or business - they apply to both.
Relationships are key, no matter if you're looking at the dating world or the business world.
In this episode, Jennifer talks with Arlene Washburn about the importance of relationships and how relationships shape the ways in which we operate - from the dating world to the business world - and why it is so important to look at the way you conduct yourself out in the world.
Arlene's gift to you for listening: Access to her site, https://member.getrealgetlove.com
About Arlene: Arlene's philosophy is that relationships do not have to be hard. Relationships take effort and skills that most people learn after having failed relationships. We tend to get most of our relationship disinformation from society and observing our parents' relationships. We form a belief system of love and attachment early in life that we carry through for many years, which doesn't necessarily serve us. Arlene curates and shares science-based, research-based information and techniques to help people struggling with love and relationships that they can implement to make good partner choices.

One of the things that seems to have been lost to time is a "thank you" note from people. It used to be proper manners to send a thank you card to people when they hosted you. It used to be the norm to send a thank you note to someone you met with. But today, most of the thank you's seem to either be in the form of an email or text message, if at all. Rarely do these thank you's come in the mail.
My guest on this show is on a mission to change that one card or note at a time. With his robot-written cards using actual handwriting, not traditional computer fonts, you have a chance to leave an impression on the people you meet and do business with, all for a very nominal investment. And with that nominal investment, you'll be earning a lot of value - perceived and real - in the eyes of the recipients!
Listen in as Jennifer and David Wachs of Handwrytten talk about gratitude and ways a simple gesture can lend itself to tremendous returns down the road.
About David: David's latest venture, Handwrytten, provides scalable, robotic solutions that write your notes in pen.

Many people have different journeys when starting a business. Sometimes we're lucky and the first business that we have, the business is a success. Sometimes though, these ventures fail but the lessons we learn can be quite beneficial. That is exactly the story of what happened with my guest, Bruce Thompson from Nerra.
As Bruce said, "...I did another startup before this start up. So I learned a lot from the first startup, which failed from a commercial point of view. But it gave me a lot of learning going into this one, and I had a huge amount of valuable experience from the first one...the problem was that I was essentially acting as a middleman, and I wasn't really developing value for myself. So that was a fundamental learning that I got from that experience, which I definitely paid attention to with the next startup...
"I think a lot of this stuff kind of has to be experiential. You have to kind of learn from your mistakes. I think prior to the first one, I would have spent a fair bit of time thinking, what am I going to do? But until you've had the experience of a startup, I think it's perhaps a confidence thing. You don't really know what you might be able to achieve. So perhaps it limits your thinking in terms of what you're prepared to have a go at. So going into the next startup, I didn't really hesitate. I just chose something that I thought would be really interesting and just went for that. So I don't know. I mean, maybe it's a case of different strokes for different folks, and perhaps I'm sure it also depends on the sort of support that you have around you. If you're in your first year at University and you meet a bunch of guys who have very like-minded thinking around some specific opportunity that you identify, then I think that's a lot easier. You've got a lot more skills to leverage and probably a whole infrastructure of support from the University to support you.
"But if you're going out on your own and you haven't really had a lot of experience in the field that you're embarking upon, which I've never had, I'm quite adventurous in that respect, then things are quite challenging. But having said that, I think it's not necessarily a disadvantage to have no experience in the field that you're looking to pursue, because I think you can have very blinked thinking if you've sort of had a career in a specific field. And that can be limiting."
Listen in and see how Bruce used lessons that he learned from his first venture to help him through the journey as he started working with the eBike industry and how having the right mentors and supporters in his corner along with an incubator program were a great benefit to his journey.
About Bruce: Bruce Thompson grew up on a farm in a sparsely populated and beautiful region of NZ... as he says, "it was an idyllic childhood." He dropped out of University after four years of switching majors. He then began a career in Australia’s offshore oil & gas industry; that took him around the world. Bruce’s current goal is to see his start-up, Nerra, reach fruition and achieve commercial success. With Nerra, Bruce is aiming to re-think ebikes through a more sustainable and holistic approach. Bruce once received a Police Certificate Of Appreciation for tackling an offender who was smashing shop windows. As a start-up founder, Bruce doesn't have much free time, but he enjoys music, outdoors, reading, technology, rock climbing, mountain biking, and meditation.

How would you define "mindset?" Would you be looking at the word as "being present" or as "how would you view any type of situation that you may find yourself in?"
For my guest this week, former NBC's "The Apprentice" Dan Brody, he views mindset as the latter and uses an example of a shoe company that sends two of its executives out to a market to determine whether they should attempt to grow there or not. One executive sees the glass as half-empty and says that nobody is wearing running shoes and why bother? The other says, nobody is wearing running shoes and it's an incredible opportunity!
Depending on how you are viewing a situation will make a huge impact on the way that you go about figuring out what you want to do and how you can succeed or not in business, as in life.
About Dan: Daniel Brody is an experienced and effective marketing pioneer, with a unique understanding of the value being added through compelling digital media. He is an accomplished C-Suite manager of broadcast digital campaigns that have built calculable brand awareness and sales. Dan is also himself, a seasoned filmmaker with International Film Festival selections and he understands first hand, that effective communication with consumers, speaks directly to the bottom line.
As a founding partner of the digital platform Farbinder, Dan has witnessed the irrefutable power and effectiveness of merging a digital video message with a well-executed digital media advertising campaign. The confluence of artful messaging and science-based analytics, offers smart business owners an undeniable advantage in reaching their ideal consumer, in the right venue at the right time and with the right message.
Dan has also taught an extensive evergreen course on how to identify the right franchise business opportunity to over 1,800 enrolled students (and counting) as well as spoken before numerous audiences to share insight into developing a motivating business culture with best practices.

Very often, people coming into the business world are taught to Always Be Closing - the "ABC's" that some people believe you have to do in business. While there are some occasions where such a mantra may be suitable, when creating relationships with people, even the slightest hint of selling can be a big turn-off.
In this episode, Jennifer has a conversation with Dana Friedman from Dragonfly Technologies in New York City where they talk about networking - from the comedic side of networking (with those in showbusiness) to the various groups that are out there and everything in between.

What does it mean to be a leader and how do you become a good leader for your business?
In this episode, we talk about leadership and what you need to do when creating teams, how-to guide them, and how to make your company work for your customers. As my guest puts it, you have to engage your employees or your team to better focus on your customers which means looking at the company's culture, the relationships between the teams and their managers, and how that process works for the company overall.
What is hanging on the walls of the lobby really needs to come to life, and not be a "fancy mission statement" that nobody lives or breathes in the business.
One needs to understand how teams work so you can be agile and faster in creating cohesion and relationships for your team to succeed. As Brad says, "Inspiring others to discover and live their possible."

If you've been paying attention to the news about the garbage building up in the oceans, climate change, and global warming, etc., you know that we need to do something about the way that we look at the world and how we use the products that we use daily in that process.
But what do we do when we can only get the food and beverage products that we need in large, unrecyclable packaging or plastic packaging that will take 500-1000 years to degrade? Enter my guest, Jared Raszewski and his company, DisSolves, which makes dissolvable plastic-like packaging that dissolved in just about any liquid so you can have your hot cocoa or coffee without needing plastic cups or packaging!
On this program, Jared and I talk a lot about sustainability and how simple innovations like Jared's product can have a long-lasting impact on our environment.
About Jared: Jared Raszewski is the Founder and CEO of DisSolves, which sells edible packaging that dissolves in water. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a major in chemical engineering and minors in chemistry and economics. While at Pitt, he led independent research into the use of edible, bio-polymers in packaging. His research moved from the lab to his kitchen and eventually grew into DisSolves. DisSolves is headquartered in Jared’s hometown of Pittsburgh, and his goal for the company is to produce a sustainable packaging that does not require consumers to compromise on functionality and convenience. Outside of work, Jared enjoys tending to his collection of cacti and tropical plants and taking long walks outside while listening to audiobooks (Catch-22 is his favorite).

How are you getting your message out to your ideal clients? Are you developing content and videos to connect with your avatars so they get to know you better?
Are you the face of your brand or are you answering problems that your consumers/clients are looking for in a way that allows you to connect with your avatars? As my guest, Michael Kawula says, having a jeweler using videos all about engagement rings, as an example, with a "this video is sponsored by X Jewelers" so people searching for "how to buy an engagement ring" or "how to propose to your girlfriend/partner" are being answered by this jeweler instead of searching for the jeweler's videos, because, let's face it, nobody is searching out their videos necessarily, but are looking for ways to buy a ring!
Do you need ideas on what to look for to talk about as part of your content strategy? Google some of your competition and see what they're discussing, or use sites like similarweb.com; answerthepublic; buzzsumo, etc.
And don't worry about the length of the videos/posts that you put out - as Michael says, the length should be long enough to answer the point you want to make but not too long that it bores your audience. If you can answer a question in one paragraph - orally or in writing - that is perfect. If it takes you 2-3 minutes or 3 pages of written content to answer a concern, that is perfect too!

When looking for a new home, one of the steps most buyers must take is to find a mortgage banker or broker to help them get the funds needed to purchase their new home.

This is why Jennifer sat down with Lester Bleich

According to the dictionary, a "food desert" is defined as an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. There is a statistic that about 23.5 million people live in food deserts. Nearly half of them are also low-income. Approximately 2.3 million people (2.2% of all US households) live in low-income, rural areas that are more than 10 miles from a supermarket. This begs the question therefore, what are we going to do about these people that don't have access to affordable or good-quality fresh food?
This is exactly what my guest, Juan Lacey, is trying to do. Juan is working with his partners to open up 40 centers with vertical farms to help these people have access to food, year-round, in a way that will boost Black farmers and low-income communities.
About Juan: After an extensive working career in the Information Management Industry while working for large banks, non-profits, and government contractors, during the last twenty years Juan has moved into entrepreneurship where he was the owner of an office cleaning service franchise while completing an extensive study to move into the Controlled Environment Agriculture industry that is ready to be launched. During his working career, he earned his MBA and has taught for the University of Phoenix, Sojourner-Douglass College, and American University.

One of the best ways professionals and entrepreneurs have of connecting with and convincing prospective clients to work with them and see them as the expert is to publish a book. How you go about publishing your book though is often a confusing maze and what seems like a daunting task.
In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Barry Cohen from AdLab Media Communications and talks about helping entrepreneurs and professionals become thought leaders through publishing and how one can go the traditional route and find a publisher to take their book & release it or use self-publishing tools to get your book out sooner. We also talk about the importance of publishing, and the impact that favorable publicity has on professionals and entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Jennifer talks with Ben Adler from Pele Promo, an advertising and promotional products company, about how he has found new ways to help people all over the globe by listening and providing help, even if he wasn't actually selling anything and the kind of benefits and value he has found by helping these people.
