Rod Janz
In this FuelRadio episode, host Rod Janz reconnects with his friend Terry Barkman, who is writing a book on leadership and team building. Terry discusses his inspiration, drawn from years of working on successful teams and coaching through sailing. He emphasizes that effective leadership can come from a place of flow and ease, not just hard work, and highlights the need for companies to invest in team-building, communication, and attitude.Terry also shares his experiences in coaching and how he approaches inner work using techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help individuals recognize their inner protectors. His approach to leadership and teamwork is shaped by his sailing background, where he uses sailing as a metaphor for balancing attitude, communication, and teamwork—the three pillars he believes drive successful teams.The conversation explores the importance of self-care, the limitations of the industrial-age mindset on productivity, and the value of innovation over traditional hard work. Terry also delves into how his improv training complements his public speaking, keeping him agile and present in each moment.
On our latest FuelRadio episode, we delve into George Cuellar's unexpected shift from veterinarian to leadership coach. Drawing inspiration from "The Fifth Discipline Field Book", George shares his passion for "personal mastery" and the profound questions it raises. He highlights the significance of understanding business culture and the essence of shared vision. A game-changer for George was the Enneagram, reshaping his self-awareness and driving him to professional coaching. With a coaching philosophy rooted in deep listening, he underlines the parallels between business and sports coaching. Tune in for insights on adaptability, continuous learning, and the essence of true connection.For more see fuelradio.com

The prayer of imagination with the story Zacchaeus with Esther Hizsa.
Esther says the exercise is not about studying the story. It’s about putting ourselves in the story, letting it unfold, and seeing what happens.

Start with prayer and breath and become centered in your own body.
Become attentive to what you are hearing in the soundscape around you. Give yourself over to the sound that is coming to you right then.
What surfaces? Is there something there to pay attention to? In Deb‘s case, it was a sound that annoyed her Remain there. Make room. Don’t force a connection or an application. What surfaces that might need some attention?

A meditation by Justin McRoberts. Justin encourages us to pay attention to the names and faces that come to mind as he reads the following...
May I offer kindness and safety in ways that they weren't offered to me. There is no justice in denying others things I was denied.

Telecare Crisis & Caring Line is hosting “Love Listens” February 17, 7:00 p.m.--a virtual event focused on active empathetic listening for better relationships. While the event takes place during the week of Valentine’s Day, it applies to all close relationships. Telecare is a faith-based registered charity based out of Abbotsford where trained volunteers use empathetic listening to support callers who are often in estranged relationships.
“As media studies show, our digital technologies permit us to communicate with many, thinly, and more and more the same way when we are face-to-face,” states Bill Strom, Telecare’s executive director and the event speaker. Evidence of this is the global downward trend in empathy – the ability to see and feel from another person’s perspective—and fewer close friends’—now just 1.9 on average.
The event presents three ways we can approach relationships and how good and poor listening habits spill from each. Attendees will also consider barriers that create shallow listening and practical tips for fixing that.
Attendees can anticipate break-out room discussions, offering “chat” feedback, and enjoying humorous videos during the 75-minute event. Ideally, people will attend with a friend or close relative—even the entire family. It is intended to be a fun time.
Strom also serves as professor of communication at Trinity Western University specializing in close relationship interaction and will share from a recently published study, “Do Moral Communicators Make Better Listeners?” He found that the loving virtues of faithfulness and wisdom rate as well as one’s personality and attitudes in explaining who listens well.
The event is free with the option to donate to support Telecare, a registered non-profit B.C. Society. Those interested in attending “Love Listens” can register online at www.telecarebc.com. While registration is free, a $25 donation is suggested.

This is the time of year where people reflect and project about the kind of upcoming year that they want to have. And as I think about this upcoming year, what keeps surfacing for me is that I'm being drawn to spend more time practicing silence.
I have to admit that I’m not super excited about practicing silence more. There are a lot more fun things to do! At the same time, I know it will be good for me.
Silence is a practice that will change how I show up in the world. Whenever I have consistently practiced silence in the past it has always brought about more peace in my life. As I practice silence this year I also anticipate being more present, and open to others and reality.
The practice of silence isn’t limited to the absence of sound. It can also be experienced as emptiness, awareness, nothingness, formlessness, and spaciousness. [1] Also, I sometimes experience silence as stillness, just being, and as a gap or a void.

Happiness (like love) is a choice! Today. I want to invite you to consider the question. Do you want to be happy? Or do you want to be right?
I remember being asked years ago by the facilitator at a personal growth seminar, “would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy?” I find that question to be as pertinent today as it was back then because I still want to be right at times, even when it might unconsciously hurt a relationship.

This week, I'd like to invite you to consider the practice of savoring.
Savouring reminds me to slow down and to really enjoy life. I want to even savor the mundane things of life. Doing so enriches every aspect of my life. Savoring is one of those things that is not necessary, but can be so beneficial. It's just a practice. When we savor we are actually practicing being aware, and being aware is so vital to our spiritual lives and to our wellbeing.

Brendon Watt once subscribed to the idea that in order to be happy, you have to fit a certain mold and follow a set path in life. He was the opposite of his true self and felt as if he was in hiding. This led to him being severely depressed and almost hitting rock bottom.
Now, Brendon is a successful entrepreneur and author and is passionate about showing people that fitting in is not the secret to happiness and that unhiding who you are is the key to feeling at peace in yourself.
DURING THIS DISCUSSION WE TALK ABOUT
How Access Consciousness helped Brandon with his deep unhappiness
The hour and a half that changed Brendon‘s life
The power of choice.
Why we need to stop trying to fit in in order to be happy

In this episode, we visit with Ashutosh Priyadarshy the founder of Sunsama. Sunsama is the daily planner for elite professionals. Organize everything you need to do today in one place. Tasks, meetings, emails, you name it. I've been using it and loving it. Listen in and find out more.
Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and was the long-time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Indiana Star-Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics, or any of the other major media outlets you see on this page. You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV.
Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

Jenny was born and raised on the west coast in Abbotsford, BC. Having briefly lived and ran in Alberta during my Bachelors of Physical Education and Recreation I was happy to return to British Columbia to complete my Masters of Occupational Therapy.

LEADERSHIP TODAY WITH EXECUTIVE CONSULTANT JIM MCNEISH
Jim has had thirty years in leadership development and loves it more than when he started. Human potential studies, classical psychology, and organizational development underpin his professional development but it’s hands-on work with Sainsbury’s, KPMG, Sellafield, BP, RBS, Welsh Rugby, Lambeth Palace, Condé Nast and Wagamama that gets him excited. Growing and establishing Quaich is his focus for the next few years.
Take time to listen to this conversation. Jim is incredibly profound and deep. Pause if you have to! I find that many of Jim's leadership concepts and ideas are paradigm shifters and worth taking the time to contemplate and digest.

After being criticized and punished his whole life for being hyperactive, David now channels his frantic energy to compete in Ironman triathlons and ultramarathons. He wears more pink than the average middle-aged man. (Actually, he wears more pink than an eight-year-old princess.... and we’ll find out why.)
David has a doctorate in organizational leadership, as well as a graduate degree in psychology. He is the author of four books on leadership and discovering our strengths through our weaknesses.

With Special Guest Paul Filiatrault
*In this episode you will learn about...
The Institute for Safe medication Practises and five questions to ask about your medications
As people's health improves they need to monitor their dosages in communication with their healthcare professional
Paul’s pharmaceutical career
Paul took a course of nutrition during his pharmaceutical training and found it really fascinating. A quote Paul remembers from that course is “All our problems are related to our nutritional deficiencies.”
He could see the effects of people's poor lifestyle choices in the intensive care unit when he worked there.
How medication sometimes leads to health problems.
How Paul’s outlook on prescription medicine and illness begin to shift when some members of his family had health challenges and traditional medicine wasn’t working.
How Nutrilite Double X made a big difference in his wife’s second pregnancy
What Paul and his wife gave to their children and their transplanted kids who were quite ill when they moved in with them
Omega 3’s - book “The Omega RX Zone” by Dr. Barry Sears
What Omega 3’s have done for Paul and his potential heart disease issues.
How studies show that Omega 3’s can help prevent sudden cardiac events.
Intense training can reduce Omega 3’s stores in your body.
Omega 3’s are a critical component for better health. They impact inflammation at the cellular level.
Work on getting real food into the diet, however, to get to the doses of Omega 3's that we need we can’t get it all through the food that we eat
The sea is a bit of a sewer so you need to know your source and the processes of your supplier.
Tips from Paul
1_ It’s your health and you have to take care of yourself. Take responsibility.
2_ If you don’t have a flat stomach you want to have a flat stomach. When you have fat you are chronically inflamed because you’re fat cells pulling lymphocytes that produce IL one that some peoples DNA produces. Get down to an ideal body weight
3_ Do you want to take in the nutrients that you need so that your cells can operate optimally. It takes weeks. Take them consistently for a long time. Get on a supplement that has Phytonutrients. And take Omega 3’s. Probably the most important supplement that makes up for our lifestyle sins.
4_ Make sure you get enough amino acids as well. We need to have enough protein. Protein and essential amino acids that you get through proteins are how your immune system functions well.
5_ Get a blood test so that you can have objective evidence as to where you are at.

"I had to heal old wounds and find a way to turn it all into magic."
The summer that changed it all.
Jill's early journey and how she went from wounding to spiritual badass
The term "spiritual badass" What is it and why use it?
"The fear of being found out will make you keep quiet about a whole lot more."
Jill's wake up call that convinced her to change the way she was living her life
"I am very grounded in what I believe and I have no problem speaking about it.
The willingness to stand for what I believe in is very badass."
The importance of telling the truth and what it means to Jill
"The way I share the truth and how public I am about it is not for everyone."
What was it like for Jill to talk about her trauma and how long did it take?
"Who I was lying to mostly was myself."
Once we get on the path of telling the truth we realize that telling the truth won't make us die
What does prayer mean to Jill and how she has researched and reclaimed it
"I had to come back to God in a way that served me."
Program - "Life as Prayer"
"What doesn't serve us does not serve God."
Separation and connection
"My belief is we are all connected on a soul level, and on scientifically they have now proven that we are all connected energetically."
Working with Jill
95% of the people that Jill works with identity as women.
She likes working one on one.
She does retreats, coaching training, and doing talks.
What's up with men and spirituality?
The more invitation that men have the better.
It's time for men to start listening more than they are talking. Listen to people who identify as female.
It's time for people to start speaking up and tell the truth responsibly. This is a really beautiful spiritual path.

With Dr. Ken Keis
In this episode we discuss....
Ken teaches the ever popular Personality Style Indicator
Ken and associates have created The Stress Indicator and Health Planner
Better health contributes to your satisfaction in life.
"Some people feed their pets better than they feed themselves"
The indicator shows what I might do to improve my health in five different areas
Ken’s own health challenges and how he overcame them.
It’s not a diagnostic rather assessment so that I could charge of my health
"90 to 95% of illnesses are lifestyle related, so the burden of responsibility for health as ours."
The factors behind our poor health in North America.
The statistics behind stress-related illness and the impact on society and individually
The Assessment breaks down your stress in five different categories
How the assessment works. In-depth, 120 questions. Be real! Has a health planner. What do I need to do to decrease my stress and increase my wellness in every one of the five categories?
Where’s the low hanging fruit? What’s one thing that I could start working on now?
What do you need to stop doing too?
Nothing happens without structure. Set yourself up to succeed and not fail. Set up a structure that serves you.
Stop feeling guilty about what you are not doing. Something has to shift.
Go to restaurants that have the healthiest choices
Less stress and better health for everyone - the reason why the Indicator was created
"You don’t need to die sick. That is a false assumption."
The problem of obese children. Affects their mitochondria for life.
Be responsible for your health.
There is a withdrawal from sugar. We’re not suggesting it’s easy.
"The standard for the assessment was optimal health, not just mediocre health."
Why Ken is a big believer In supplementation
The 50-year longevity study from Harvard. Get out there and move! Other things that came out of this study that contributed to longevity - loving relationships and generosity. Do I give?

Back in the 90s well-known music worship leader Brian Doerksen did a musical called "The Father‘s Heart." The music was incredible and it came out of teaching that was going around at the time on the subject of the Father’s heart and God‘s love for us.
For a lot of people, including me, it was life-changing as we experienced and understood God’s love in a deeper way. I mention all of that to say that I heard Brian speak about putting that musical together and the way in which the teaching impacted him at a small gathering a couple of months ago. And I had the thought at the time that I would like to speak to my friend Matt Atkins about the subject too because Matt's been teaching on it for probably 30 years to people all over the world.
Matt is a good friend, he’s a pastor and a financial planner.
For me, this interview was another great reminder to rest and find my identity in God‘s love. I don’t know about you but I can never be reminded about this enough.
In this interview, you'll hear us discuss...
What does Matt mean by the Father‘s heart?
Living with a performance orientation and how a different view of God can help us overcome that.
How God loves us just as we are.
Doing a sense dive with the word “Father."
Dealing with our father issues and using the word "Father" for God.
The effects of fatherlessness on society
Having experiential knowledge of God not just thinking about God
The Trinity and the Fathers' heart and why it is significant.
Our emotions and our relationship with God.
Maturing in our relationship with God. Living in freedom and love is the foundation.
Matt’s calling to be a father
God as father and mother
The story of the Prodigal Son. How it has everything to do with a loving father.
The lost coin. Celebration!
The two sons.
God’s love and homecoming. Where am I getting my self-definition? Is it God’s love, or failure and shame.
How to be. Not what to do.
Quotes by Matt:
"I began to experience God’s love in the places that I thought God was really disgusted with me about."
Teaching on the Fathers' heart is as necessary as it has ever been.
The Father to the Son, "You are my dearly loved child and I am so proud of you."
"So many Christians obey all the rules of the house, but they never open the fridge and eat all the food that God has provided."
"God has always noticed and never left us. God is never surprised. It’s always the same response: God says "I know you, I love you and I have always loved you."

Today I want to invite you to be still . . Thomas Merton says “So perhaps I have an obligation to preserve the stillness, the silence, the poverty, the virginal point of pure nothingness which is at the Center of all other loves.” . . It’s a pretty strong statement but you just might find that the more you practice silence and stillness the more you will be drawn to it. . . I don’t know about you, but in spite of my best efforts my mind and my body are anything but still most of the time. My mind especially, is almost always racing. . . At the same time, as Merton says stillness, silence, poverty, and the virginal point of nothingness already exist in some mysterious way. On some level we know it and stillness helps to get all of the unknowing out of the way, so that we can truly know as the Psalmist says in Psalm 46.10. . . If you’re ready to practice stillness using this Psalm, I invite you to do it now. If this moves too fast for you, take some time later on and slow it down. . . Let’s do a very quick body scan. Scan your body and remind the various parts of your body, from your head to your toes to be still. . . Remind your mind to be still. . . And now let’s use Psalm 46.10 to practice stillness and being... . . Be still and know that I am God . . Be still and know that I am . . Be still and know . . Be still . . Be . . Throughout the day if your mind takes over, or you are feeling stressed, remind your body and your mind to be still and then just be. . . Peace ~ Rod
EP 02 | 3 minutes | Practicing Presence
Today I want to invite you to let go
Once in a while, something reaches our awareness and we know intuitively that we need to let go
Fighting a with something that we need to let go of is a battle that we can’t win.
It’s not worth negotiating when something that you need to let go of reaches your awareness.
The detrimental effects of not letting go can be anger and depression.
Is it time to let go of something that you cannot change, or something or someone that you are trying to control?
When you et go it’s a form of surrender. Letting go opens you up to the help that is available. It may be the help of a trusted friend, or it may be the help of the god of your understanding.
If there is something that has reached your awareness that you need to let go of I invite you to let go now.
Let’s use our breath.
Take a breath in and on the out breath let go of everything that I have said so far.
Take a breath in and on the out breath let go of the last 24 hours.
Take a breath in and on the out breath let go of the last seven days.
Take a breath in and on the out breath let go of everything that has happened during your lifetime.
Take a breath in and let go of the history of the world and the universe
Finally, take a breath in and on the out breath let go
Peace ~ Rod

Today I want to invite you to THIS... practicing presence in all you do
Are you stuck in your head?
Do you have a hard time being present?
Do you engage in obsessive thinking and think that you could somehow solve your problems and challenges by thinking about them more, and harder?
Is it hard for you to engage and live out of your heart?
Is compassion for yourself and others difficult?
The poem "The Gate" by Marie Howe “THIS is what you have been waiting for...”
I invite you to be open to “this“
THIS is practiced when you practice being aware, open, and accepting of what is. Peace ~ Rod

Feeling stuck? Do you want to learn how to break through to prosperity? Jolen Philbrook may have some helpful tips for based on her own experiences and breakthroughs.
Notes and Quotes from Jolen
Jolen was married for 22 years and when her husband’s mother died she says he became like Hugh Hefner. Her son felt unsafe with husband so they went through a custody battle. At the same time, she had a number of serious health challenges.
Jolen created a program to help her through those challenging times
At night she would sit and rehearse what happened in court. She made a decision to not cry and get angry anymore and she had a dream that she was standing on the stage talking to an audience of women saying that she survived breast cancer.
Jolen used visuals to shift her mindset.
She went to school and became a behaviour therapist and a hypnotherapist. She got into the coaching world.
Jolen went to a conference and heard that if you want to be an expert you need to write a book. She was told that your life experience is a story and how you got out of it is what you write your book on. Jolen’s book is called from “From Tears to Triumph: Reclaim Your Inner Power and Happiness” (See below to receive a free copy) It’s all about the steps she used to transform her life.
Jolen teaches how to breakthrough to prosperity.
Business Launch
It took faith for Jolen to hold her first workshops. She already had coaching clients that her to prove that what she was teaching worked. To get her coaching business going she started networking and talking to people.
Why?
Jolen has two why’s. The public why is that she just likes to help people and when she helps someone it helps her to feel good. She likes being of service.
Her secret why is what she learned in her cancer experience. She believes that her anger and resentment caused cancer. She also learned to clear the stuck emotions through a breathing process that she learned. So if she helps somebody release the stuck emotions she has saved one life and they don’t have to go through what she went through. So her big overall – why - is to help people, men or women, stay healthy, and for women not to get breast cancer because in Jolen’s opinion you don’t have to get it when you know how to release stuck and damaging emotions.
Tips
First two steps to the breakthrough to prosperity. Get clear on what you want, handle those limiting beliefs that come in.
And then she helps people deal with their emotions. She teaches everybody her breathing technique to clear stuck emotions and then she goes into the spiritual side She says she helps people tap into their intuition. She helps them meditate and visualize and she teaches a certain process that she calls it aligning to the energy of the desire that they want.
It’s really important to get a hold of your mindset in your emotions so that you can create what it is what you want. We are taught to think and speak negatively. To get clarity write down everything that you don’t want and then you flip it and ask yourself what you want instead.
Jolen was recently inspired by Steve Olsher’s book on “What is Your What?”.
Jolen Loves Zoom.
Jolen’s cause is supporting women in the breast cancer arena.

In this interview we discuss:
How Jeff went from meeting people in his office to providing help for them online.
Jeff noticed that in a typical intervention the interventionist helps with the intervention and then they are gone. And the family is left not really knowing what to do next and with little support and strength-based tools.
See spotlight diagram on Jeff’s website. Jeff uses a rafting on the river model. He tries to give everyone involved the skills that they need for recovery and healthy living.
Several years ago Jeff created a three-phase program and then put it online and found things that he could do online that he wasn’t able to do face-to-face such as creating a healthy supportive community. Secrets are huge in many families.
What he really tries to let people know is that this is not your shame comes from the culture the trauma comes from the culture and it trickles down.
The culture is designed for business it’s not really designed to help the addiction problem and the problem falls to families and they just do the best they can.
We talk about Brene Brown and the complicated process of how addicts and family members deal with shame. Family members tend to personalize the shame and identify with it.
Jeff provides his online tool and he also encourages collaboration with other professionals and helping people find the help they need.
It’s a program in which a family can work and heal together.
Jeffrey still has a small practice and sees people one and one at home.
As far as a Wi-Fi left-style is concerned Jeffrey is at the front end of the process. Right now Jeffrey has a foot in both worlds.
We talk about how stress is trauma too. Drugs and alcohol are used to take it away.
Part of Jeff’s "why" is the family secret's he grew up with and he is seeking to demystify that.
In the last several weeks Jeff’s program has helped someone transform their outlook and it is her family’s situation.
Resource: Gabor Mate "The Human Face of Addiction."
Software: Positivity. The platform that Jeff’s program is on.
Cause: The Betty Ford children’s program

Jennie didn’t want her new Direct Sales venture to just be a hobby because she says "hobbies cost you money they don’t make you money."
Starting out she read as many direct sales books as she possibly could. She also spoke to other people and other direct sales companies to find out what made them successful
She was told to find a mentor. She says "why just one mentor, why not five?"
She was successful, earned trips, car bonuses, and free product.
The part of the business that Jennie really enjoyed was working with her team. She realized that what she was doing was coaching her people to success. She felt a calling to coach. She coached in her business for 6 1/2 years and then went and got certified in coaching in 2017 as a direct sales coach.
One of her early obstacles was that she ran out of parties and customers. She became a member of a networking group and managed to fill up her calendar again.
Launching her direct sales business was relatively easy because it started with a party and she loves organizing parties
The people she invited she asked them to bring someone that she didn’t know.
SOME KEYS TO DIRECT SALES SUCCESS
A key to her success was to go all in. She made the decision up front to have an all in mindset.
Another key is to treat your direct sales business like a business.
NETWORKING ADVICE
Go into networking situations and set aside the appropriate amount of time to make it work. Try and make strategic connections with people that you know are going to be your customers.
The four pocket approach to networking. One pocket is for your cards another pocket is for people that you are interested in following up on a third pocket is for maybes in the fourth pocket is for people that you are 100% want to follow up on.
Go in with the attitude that you’re going to make one or two great connections.
And a networking session provide value first by asking people "who are the connections that you need to make to make your business successful this year?" And then try to connect them to other people you know. Write down the names on their cards who you want to introduce them to and make those introductions within the next 24 to 48 hours.
A WIFI BUSINESS Running a Wi-Fi business allows Jennie to have flexibility in her schedule so that she can be there for her kids when they come home from school.
One of the ways that Jennie is leveraging her time is by working with other people who don’t offer the services that she has but are complementary to her coaching business such as a hypnotist and counselors to help with trauma.
WHY? Jennie’s why includes being her own boss and having the time to be with her kids
OVERCOMING SALES RESISTANCE Jenny helps people overcome their resistance to selling by helping them with their mindset. She says, if you’re concerned about the sale then it’s about you. Go into it with the attitude that you’re going to help people make the best-educated buying decision they can. Ask yourself "what’s best for them not what’s best for you."
Jennie's Recommended Book - "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson. This book has helped Jennie prioritize what serves her best.

Sally-Jo O'Brien helps people be braver in whatever they want to be braver in. For entrepreneurs, it’s about being braver in their approach and attitude about their business. She also helps with career transitions.
Sally Jo's friends call her "The Queen of Re-Invention." She’s had three big career and life shifts herself including her husband passing away in 2005.
In launching her coaching business Sally-Jo had to retrain herself and learn to coach. During the launch of Sally Jo’s coaching business, she was still doing some things in the food industry and those two things intersected. She started getting a lot of referrals for coaching and decided to go into that full-time.
LEVERAGE Sally Jo leverages her time through group coaching. She also leverages her time through Zoom. She uses it for coaching and for masterminds. Recently she led training for someone else’s mastermind through Zoom.
VALUES During a career or business transition you need to reassess your values and figure out what’s important to you. Ask what’s important to me now? What do I care about now? Depending on the phase of life that you are in, what's important to you is changing. Constantly re-evaluate and determine what’s important, so that you can make good decisions.
There’s also a need to develop new rituals. Some of the rituals that you had when you worked for someone don’t always work when you are working from home, or for yourself.
ROUTINES AND RITUALS Create routines and rituals that will support you getting work done. Sally Jo says it helps to be around people that help you to move momentum forward.
One another way is to check in with someone each day. Sally Jo knows of someone who texts a supporting friend and tells them three things that they are going to get done each day.
Sally Jo had a coach that helped her transition from what she was doing as she was navigating a personal loss and she found it to be hugely valuable. This experience is what ultimately led her to be a coach too.
DISCOVER YOUR VALUES To help discover your values think about a teacher or a coach that you loved and think about what it was about them that you admired. What did you like about them or what didn’t you like about them? Or think of a character in a book who is a hero of yours. What are the characteristics of that character in the book? What will help you to start to mine for values that will shape your decisions and your business.
TV SHOW VALUES Still, another question to ask to help you discover your values is to ask: if you were to star in your own award-winning television show what would be the name of the show be and why would people tune in to the show? What value would people get out of it?
CLIENT STORY Sally Jo’s had a client that wanted to get out there and meet potential clients but realized that she was hiding. Sally Jo helped her discover what was going on and that led to a breakthrough. We discuss "The Daring Way developed by Dr. Brune Brown. How shame comes into play in business and holds us back. You might be holding onto something that you think is wrong with you (shame)versus something that you did wrong. It’s an important distinction. “I made a mistake” versus “I am a mistake” (shame).
Sally Jo’s INSPIRATIONAL RESOURCE Steven Pressfield "The War of Art" https://www.amazon.ca/War-Art-Steven-Pressfield-ebookand and "Turning Pro" https://www.amazon.ca/Turning-Pro-Steven-Pressfield-ebook/. about the gremlin of resistance which is always there when you are trying to make a transition or do something that it is really important to you.
Sally Jo’s WIF TOOLS Evernote and Canva for creating documents. Book Like A Boss for booking coaching sessions
Sally Jo’s INSPIRING CAUSE The Centre for Hope and Safety in New Jersey. http://www.hopeandsafetynj.org/ Helps families who are affected by domestic violence in many ways such as giving them safe shelter and food while they re-create their lives.
Show Notes Anthony's Story... Anthony was deployed to Iraq in 2009 and 2010 When he came home he was expecting to be excited, free and have a new life, but he suffered badly from PTSD. He found he was having nightmares and claustrophobia and was often frightened when he was driving. He eventually when I had to get his bachelors and Masters degree in health and started working at A health center While he was working at the health center he did a workshop for men on men’s health that was received very well. He also noticed a lack of opportunities for men to talk about their own health issues and out of the workshop his his coaching business and other workshops began. Why Men's Health? Anthony finds that men need to talk about their struggles. He finds that men have a lack of purpose and that they are distracted and that this takes a toll on their well-being. What is your wealth without your health? What is wealth when you can’t enjoy it. We have to take a step back and ask what’s most important? Everything that is in your life right now is a result of the decisions that you made. When men feel fulfilled they are in a better position to engage in their relationships and give more. Anthony does what he does because he’s been through so many things and he’s come to accept the things that have happened to him and he’s become a much better person because of those things. Anthony says anxiety is a symptom of other things that are going on such as a lack of sleep. My whole goal for men is self-determination and self-efficacy where they can have the motivation and the skills to achieve the desires that they want. Anthony's WiFi Business Lifestyle At one point Anthony realized that his life is more important than sitting in traffic three hours a day. That led him to move where it takes five minutes to get somewhere. His point is you choose your life. Anthony wanted the Wi-Fi life. He designed his business so that he could run it from anywhere in the world. Anthony is about to travel the world. He made a plan and made some choices to make it happen. Anthony hopes to inspire other men to live more adventurously. Anthony believes that the Wi-Fi lifestyle is all about the adventure. For Anthony, it’s about getting out there and experiencing life. He thinks because this hasn’t really been promoted for men that it’s been lost and suppressed. We get so wrapped up in work and so many other things that we lose our sense and desire for adventure. He hopes to reignite the adventurous side of men while improving their well-being. Leverage: One way that Anthony is leveraging his time is by working with clients in a group setting. What has recently inspired Anthony? Anthony’s source of inspiration is his adventure he’s going on and a documentary called 180° South. This documentary set the tone for Anthony to do what he’s about to do right now and that’s travel the world. Anthony's WiFi Business Tools: Zoom and his Surface Pro tablet. He uses Calend.ly to book appointments. Anthony's Cause: Burpees for Vets Contact Anthony on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonytreas/

Quotes from Karin
"Don’t make your life your work. Make people your life"
"The true measure of a great network is: Are you with people you want to play with?"
"People don’t really want the guru anymore. They will tolerate the guide, but what they really want is the friend who will roll up their sleeves and say, 'hey I’m here with you.' You be real and I’ll be real and will get things going a lot faster."
"We often ask 'where you from and what do you do?' but in our initial conversation, we talked about what matters to us. What’s your struggle? What’s your strength? What makes you cry?" Those are things that get us connected faster and that lets us see who we are meant to be with."
"Fly your free flag. Let people see that you have made mistakes. Lead with vulnerability as well. Don’t try to hide so much. We want to know the real you."

In this episode we discuss
How The I Get To Legacy Project got its start How The I Get To Legacy Project helps the homeless and provides a little income and activity for people who are a part of the project's beneficiary Whole Way House How the I Get To message is changing and affecting lives
Our guest Jenny Konkin is the President & Co-Founder of Whole Way House. Jenny says, “I have now been working in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver since 2010 and I believe that every person has a story and I would like to get to know them.”
The I Get To Legacy Project
“The I Get To Legacy Project is inspired by Ron Konkin, who, in 2009 was diagnosed with Stage 4 Melanoma at the age of 48 and was only given 4-12 months to live. From then on, his perspective changed. Every day after those first four months, he said “I don’t have to, I get to because I’m still alive!
“Ron carried on teaching and speaking to thousands for the next four years, and when he passed away on December 25, 2013, he had built an incredible legacy of changed lives.
“Each chain is hand stamped and provides part-time work for a resident who is transitioning out of homelessness. The proceeds from each Legacy Chain go to help fund the Community Building Programs at Whole Way House (founded by Ron’s kids Jenny and Joshua Konkin) as well as to scholarships for families in crisis to attend the Relationship Lifeline weekend (founded by Ron and Tina Konkin)."

Kathleen O'Sullivan from KSHIFT is a very successful consultant in her own right. However, with the way her business was structured and with the way she was thinking about certain things, her success was costing her in detrimental ways. When Kathleen hit a wall she began to seek out a coach for herself.
When Kathleen first spoke with Isabelle Mercier of LeapZone Strategies she felt like she found her soulmate, and not simply a business coach. In just one year, as Kathleen worked with Isabelle's company and her crew, Kathleen was able to double her business, and perhaps more importantly get her life back.

Becoming still in mind and body helps you to get out of the way. It opens the door to meditation.
Music by deep sky divers.
I first met Ken Stone a couple of year's ago at a business training event in Lake Tahoe. I was intrigued by this big gregarious guy who at called himself a "healer." At the same time, even though I was on a quest to be more spiritually open minded the title of "healer" pushed some buttons.
During the event I got to know Ken and had a great conversation with him about contemplation, Father Keating from Snow Mass, CO and our religious backgrounds that was filled with laughter and even a few tears.
Since that time, we have stayed in touch. When i changed the format of FuelRadio I thought of Ken and asked him if he wanted to play. Thankfully he did! He asked someone who participated in his workshops and one-on-one calls, author, speaker Jan Carlin if she would be willing to share her story as well. Gratefully she agreed.

On FUELRADIO.com we have being telling the stories of coaches, mentors, and spiritual directors and the people they work with. Last week we released the story about Bensung Sung and Dan Lok called Moms, Mentors and Making Millions. To produce these interviews I interview each person separately. To create a story I have to cut a lot of what each person says. Dan said a lot of helpful and insightful things, so I thought I would release an unedited version of his interview.
Dan The Man Lok - Here is Dan's bio from his LinkedIn profile:
"I came to Canada at the age fourteen with little knowledge of English, no contacts and no money.
"I started my first business when I was in high school.
"My early career was marked by adversity and struggle. I got my first job when I was 16. I was a grocery bagger at a local supermarket, making minimum wage and barely making ends meet.
"That was the one and only job I ever had. For most of my life, I've been a consummate deal maker and a passionate entrepreneur.
"It's not simply because I enjoy starting and building businesses, but because of my character traits, as I believe that being an entrepreneur is a part of my genetic makeup.
"I've made millions of dollars and I've lost millions of dollars. What kept me on track through all of the chaos and a can-do attitude, approaching every challenge with the motto, "TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!"
"I consider myself a serial entrepreneur. I have been fortune enough to start, run and turnaround a dozen companies. Now in my spare time, I mentor a select group of entrepreneurs, helping them profit wildly while making a difference in the world."
A bit of a disclaimer...
I (Rod) am a big believer in the power of coaching, mentors and direction. I do agree that coaches should "walk their talk" i.e. businesses coaches better be running, or have run a successful business if they are going to give business advice. At the same time I believe that the best form of coaching holds the coachee capable of coming up with the answers to their own challenges and that a coach can help facilitate that discovery whether or not they are an expert in a particular field. For me, it's a case of "both, and."
Thanks for listening!
Both Dan Lok and Benson Sung have many similarities. They are both the children of immigrants to North America. Both Dan and Benson tried and failed several times over at starting their own businesses and they both sought out and found mentors who helped them immensely.
Dan now makes millions per year and as you'll hear in the interview, after just two short years of working with Dan, Benson is well on his way to doing the same.

What is a Business Architecture?
Isabelle shares a client story about someone who changed their business for the better by strengthening their business architecture.
Interview notes: Great blog that has been active for about 9.5 months. His reason for starting the blog was to do something he was passionate about.
A men’s style blog. with a personal development section.
“Outer style and inner confidence” is the new catch phrase for now.
In Vancouver style is real casual compared to the rest of North America. Vancouver is the most laid back out of all the cities Nicky has visited. Nicky’s belief is that style and confidence are intertwined. Better confidence helps people achieve greater success.
Nicky actually acts as a style consultant.
Nicky would always go into an interview dressed in his best suit.
The Blog has a lot of females that write in and offer style advice.
The Blog also offers advice and insight into dealing with stress. (We’ll talk more about this in Part 2 of the interview).
The sales and promotions on the blog are affiliates that Nicky believes in and offer savings.
According to Nicky, style is still new territory for men.
Facebook contest coming up for a better slogan for the blog (I kind of like Outer Style, Inner Confidence, but what do I know?)
This interview covers: - Nicky's experience with panic attacks and how he overcame them. - What did Nicky go through to escape the pain? - What are some of things that have worked for Nicky to deal with stress? - Red wine! - The work required to overcome strong anxiety
