In this episode of Expert In You, Ann Carden interviews Dave Sanderson, Hudson River plane crash survivor and renowned speaker. Dave shares how he transformed his experience into a speaking career that inspires others and supports Navy SEAL charities. He discusses the importance of consistent habits for success, the risks of complacency, and the role of gratitude in personal growth. Ann also highlights his published works and shares how to connect with him for further insights.Dave Sanderson is a highly regarded leadership speaker, celebrated author, and inspiring survivor of "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549, which made an emergency landing in the Hudson River, Dave emerged from that life-changing moment in icy waters with a mission: to empower others with resilience and courage to face their own challenges.
Through the lessons gained from that profound experience, Dave discovered his purpose in helping people turn adversity into opportunity. He believes that each of us faces defining moments—personally or professionally—that test our resilience. However, many lack the tools or confidence to take the first step toward transformation. Fueled by this insight, Dave now travels globally, guiding individuals toward realizing their own potential, setting and achieving meaningful goals, and fostering a sense of connection and community.
Named by Inc.com as one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers, Dave has inspired audiences around the world with his leadership insights, raising over $14.8 million for the American Red Cross through his speaking engagements. His personal mission extends beyond inspiring audiences; he dedicates himself to being the mentor and "board of directors" many people need to craft a vision for their lives.
Dave lives in Charlotte, NC, with his wife of 37 years, Terri. Together, they share the joy of four children who are grateful he came home safely that fateful day.

If you aim to make a difference while achieving personal success, tune in to this transformative episode and subscribe to the Expert In You Podcast for more expert strategies and insights.About Alan Lazaros:Born into a family that knew both prosperity and hardship, Alan Lazaros experienced life's unpredictable swings from an early age. Raised in the Massachusetts area, he enjoyed an upper-middle-class life until the age of 14, when his stepfather, who had been a consistent figure since Alan was 3, departed from the family. This sudden exit marked a drastic shift in the family's financial situation—his stepfather had thrived financially in the 90s and early 2000s, but upon leaving, he took with him the comfort and security of a steady income.
With his sister moving out around the same time, Alan found himself in a stripped-down family unit, consisting of just his mother and himself. The shift was stark: he went from a life of relative comfort to one where qualifying for free lunch at school became a testament to their diminished resources. Those formative years of struggle and resilience would later sculpt Alan into a person with a deep understanding of life's volatility and the value of perseverance.

In this episode of Expert In You Podcast, host Ann Carden welcomes special guest Nicole Bandes, CEO and founder of Virtual A-Team. Nicole shares her journey from a background in psychology and productivity coaching to becoming a "VA whisperer," bridging the gap between clients and experts as a virtual assistant intermediary.
Nicole emphasizes the importance of delegating tasks to a business manager to effectively execute goals and avoid reaching a revenue ceiling. Many individuals struggle with delegation, often preferring to do everything themselves, but Nicole believes that shifting mindsets and simplifying delegation is key to business growth.
Throughout the episode, Nicole discusses the cost-saving benefits of hiring a business manager, ranging from eliminating hiring and training expenses to saving time and focusing on core content creation. The episode also touches on the power of having a clear vision for a business and thinking about the bigger picture, as well as the importance of effective communication when delegating tasks.

About the Guest :
Nicole Bandes is the founder of a virtual team, which she established 7 years ago with the intention of helping individuals make a bigger impact in the world. Her motivation stems from understanding that when people are relieved of tasks that can be handled by others, they have more time to focus on what truly matters to them. Nicole's dedication to this cause was sparked by a personal tragedy a decade ago when she and her husband lost their son. This heartbreaking experience prompted her to reflect on the regrets and missed opportunities in life. Determined to prevent others from feeling the same, Nicole strives to empower individuals to prioritize what is truly important and not waste precious time on tasks that can be delegated to others.

Branding is about actively influencing how people think and feel about you. It means taking control of your value, making sure that what people perceive as your worth reflects who you really are and what you can offer. To do this, brand activation involves creating memorable experiences across each customer touchpoint so that their opinion of who you are lines up with your true identity and capabilities.
The key to successfully branding yourself and your business is to ensure that you have a clear understanding of your value. You need to be intentional about how you present yourself so that people will understand the worth of what you are offering. It is important to remember that the price clients pay for goods and services is not necessarily a reflection of the true value, but rather it is an outcome of their perception.
In this episode, Betsy Jordyn talks about her journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur in the branding space. She dives into the importance of brand activation and defining your value in order to set yourself apart from others.

As an entrepreneur or salesperson, it is important to understand what the client needs and how to offer them a unique experience. By gaining insight into their pain points and actively listening to them, you will be able to tailor your offerings specifically to them in order to create your own distinctive category. It is only through providing this differentiation that consumers will truly value what you have to offer.
In sales, leadership, and business, it's easy to learn from model behaviors and imitate your competition. But this isn't the way to differentiate yourself; instead, focus on exhibiting loyalty, kindness, and sincerity that sets you apart. Acting differently is key if you want to make a difference in what you do. Uniformity might feel like the safe bet, but real success comes from overcoming challenges that are unique to you.
In this episode, Patrick Kegan shares how he carved out his own personal differentiation brand and the strategies to help you do the same. He emphasizes that success lies in mastering what makes you unique and focusing on that instead of trying to do 100 things. He also shares actionable advice on how to be more strategic with your brand, rather than becoming complacent with it.

A lot of specialties in the medical space have started shifting to concierge services, or direct primary care, as it is mainly known. This is probably the next big disruptor in the health and medical field. But what does it really mean? Why is it valuable to people, and why should people seek these services versus going through the traditional health and medical channels?
Direct primary care is a cutting-edge health care system that allows patients and providers to interact more directly. Rather than paying for each medical service, patients pay their physicians or practice a set cost per month. This system creates incentives for both parties, as the provider can cut overhead costs and receive higher quality patient care, while the patient receives personalized services from their physician and more control over their own medical decisions.
Dr. Vladimir Barayev shares his journey from traditional to Direct Primary Care in this episode. He talks about why and how he chose this new model, the benefits it offers both patients and physicians, and it's potential as a major disruptor in the health and medical field.
Tune in!
Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:
[02:50] Dr. Vladimir's backstory and how he got into medicine, specifically pediatrics.
[07:51] What inspired him to shift into the entrepreneurial path of the clinical practice? Why burnout and lack of good patient care are rampant among physicians
[12:15] Concierge medicine and why it is the next big thing in the medical field. The key benefits of concierge services.
[19:04] What does primary care look like, what does its cost, and what does the insurance cover?
[23:17] Why primary self-care and concierge services are disruptors in the health sector?
[27:00] How are unprecedented emergencies handled in concierge services?
About Vladimir Barayev -
Dr. Barayev is a Board Certified pediatrician, Lactation Consultant, and father of two who believes passionately in high-quality and personal care for children. After graduating from the highly selective Sophie Davis school of biomedical education in New York, Dr. Barayev completed his medical degree in New York medical college.

Strategic networking involves actively seeking out the people you want to connect with, making sure they notice you and engaging in meaningful conversations that can lead to new opportunities. It is a powerful way to form meaningful relationships and build connections that can help you reach your goals.
Networking can be a tiresome process when you are trying to reach out to people all around. If done incorrectly, it can be draining and lead to wasted energy.

Technical skills are necessary but not enough to succeed in business or a career without also developing relationships and expanding your network which is equally important for progress.

We must always challenge ourselves to move forward, even when faced with adversity. As leaders, we should use the struggles of life as an opportunity to grow and develop our skills. Hard times can be especially difficult, but by picking ourselves up and learning from our mistakes, we will become stronger and more resilient for future challenges. It is important to remember that although it may seem impossible at times, we are capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes our way - because we are fireproof.
Life is a journey, and each experience we have is vital to our overall story. Everything that happens to us shapes whom we become and what we want out of life. Knowing our goals and purpose can be a source of great motivation even when challenges come up. If we don't know the why in life, it can be harder to keep on going. Keeping sight of the bigger picture can help us create something meaningful out of every situation.

Your mindset can affect the outward manifestations of a business. The foundation of this mindset comes from what you think and say about yourself.
If you are confident and maintain a good attitude, you will be more likely to attract the right people who will help grow your business. You’ll also be more willing to take risks and pursue opportunities you might not have considered.
This could be a challenge to multigenerational businesses that need to be more vigilant with changes. The world of business is becoming smarter and more data driven. Businesses now have access to countless data points from both inside and outside their organization. And with all this information, the business landscape and the roles of employees and entrepreneurs are changing. For multigenerational businesses to adapt, they must understand how these changes will impact them.
In this episode, John & Connie Kuder shares some coaching tips for empowering multi-generational family business members to remove family friction and recover its hidden costs, lost time, and wasted energy. We also talk about limitations of small businesses and how the mindsets of business owners affect their business’s growth, the changing business environment, and why multigenerational businesses need to adapt to grow.
Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:
[03:48] How John & Connie got into the coaching space, and what motivated them.
[06:05] How do they get into the mindset and inner work with their clients?
[12:11] Overcoming the fear of trying.
[13:53] How your mindset affects the outward manifestations in a business.
[17:00] Reasons why generational businesses have a higher rate of failure.
[21:39] Creating a lasting change for your clients and avoiding being transactional.
[26:01] How the world of business is becoming smarter and data-driven, and why do multigenerational businesses need to adapt.
[32:05] The cost of business growth and scaling up
About John and Connie Kuder -
John and Connie Kuder are the husband-and-wife owners of Kuder Consulting Group. They help multi-generation family business owners meet the challenges of family dynamics in the business and “ditch the drama.”
Both grew up in a multi-generation family business and had a lifetime of experience in their own family business and working in those of other families. They have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly first-hand.
Like most small business owners, they were not trained in the soft skills required to balance the often-competing demands of family and business. Once they found the rare skills and methods they needed and proved them effective in their own life, they felt compelled to help other business owners and spare them the pain they had endured.

We live in a society of restless and impatient people who want the next thing yesterday and have no time to reflect on how they got to where they are. We get complacent about what is not serving us and don’t realize that we have the power to change our situation. We want to keep doing what we’re doing, even when it’s not working for us.
Doing something over and over again doesn’t make you better. Evaluating and making changes is what will make you better. If you’re not in constant evaluation of what you can do better, how you can be better, and how you can make changes, you are prone to not just stagnation but decline.
What is evaluation? Evaluation is all about knowing what went right, what went wrong, and how you can make it better next time. Doing it will help you identify what you are doing wrong and change it to grow. It will also help you train your mind to recognize your wins, capture them and celebrate them. Capturing your wins provides an objective data source that you can go back to when you get swapped by your emotions to stay in perspective and get things in motion.

Dyslexic people are usually average or above average in intelligence, but when taught using the wrong strategies, they don’t perform at their best, which can affect other areas, such as confidence, behaviors, and personality.
Reading, spelling, and math are skills that some of us are better at than others. Unfortunately, our society often says everyone should be great at all these things, but that is not realistic.
Dyslexic people are “normal,” they just need to be taught with different methods to master the skills. When we realize that we’re all different individuals with different strengths, it releases a lot of burdens, and we ease their path.
In this episode, Jess Arce, CEO of 3D Learning Experts, talks about the 3 Ds and how we can help dyslexic children and adults be successful by getting them in the right environment to learn, boosting their confidence, and mastering those skills.

[20:45] Things to look out for in the 3 Ds and where to find a checklist.

Within the first week of working with Ann I closed a cash client for 5x more than I had been charging. I tried everything before coming to her and I bought into loads of programs and trainings. Nothing I was doing was really working. I am now closing clients for almost $40k. If you would have told me I would be getting clients at this level, I wouldn’t have believed it. Ann totally knows her stuff. This has been life-changing for me and my family! ~ Kimberly Lebbing
The reward for any coach is seeing their clients grow.
Kim Lebbing is a successful mindset coach who has made big financial leaps in her business and is closing clients for over 20x more than she was before working with me. But this is not the whole story. Kim was a program buyer. She bought program after program trying to build the business she wanted.
She was all over the place in social media with no strategy and a structured offer for low-paying clients.
In today’s episode, Kim Lebbing talks about her journey working with me.
Kim’s journey has been inspirational. I hope to inspire you after listening to Kim’s journey that you can achieve anything you want with your self-belief, the right strategy, and proper guidance.

Episode Summary - Do you feel your business is stuck and have you been struggling to grow your business? Running your business can feel like juggling in multiple directions. And being busy with daily activities makes it difficult to understand whether you are moving in the right direction to reach your goals.
When Dawn came to me, she was overworking, with no time for her personal life; yet she was struggling to grow her business.
Success is not measured on the basis of your business; it is all about the right strategies.
Whether you are facing challenges or want to scale up your business to the next level, you will need a mentor or coach to walk you through and guide you with the right strategies.
Every client's situation is different; when I started working with Dawn, she was excellent with what she did, the problem was her business was not structured well.
I knew Dawn could build a multi-figure business, but she lacked vision.
We structured her business process and repackaged her pricing model, and in 3 weeks, she landed her first high-paying client.
Now, Dwan runs an ultra-high-end consulting business and has a well-balanced life.
Snapshot of the Key Points from the Episode:
