Change Proof: Recent Episodes
Adam Markel, International Speaker, Best Selling Author, Business Mentor and Entrepreneur
Change happens. Resilience expert Adam Markel and his inspiring guests teach you how to embrace and leverage change in order to thrive. No matter what life throws your way.
Change Proof explores breakthrough strategies to fully embrace an uncertain world and build the resilience required to turn stress, upset and even crisis to your advantage. Imagine being able to truly bounce forward through disruption and change instead of getting knocked down by it, riding it out, or simply reacting to it.
Resilience is the secret key―the “it” factor―and the thing Change Proof host Adam Markel knows best. In his bestseller, PIVOT, Adam taught how building resilience can supercharge your life and career. Now, he shows how becoming Change Proof helps you move beyond managing change to actively embracing it — actually using times of uncertainty, crisis, and chaos to create opportunities and stimulate individual and team growth. Through insightful discussions with business leaders, social innovators and inspiring authorities, Resilience Expert Adam Markel uncovers and shares ways to utilize change, fully embrace new opportunities, master the art and science of innovation in today’s disruptive marketplace, and use your “disadvantages'' as stepping stones.
Whether you lead a team, pursue entrepreneurial passions or are looking to achieve a higher capacity in your performance and life, Change Proof is the place for life-changing stories, and real tools you can actually use―AND WILL WANT TO!
Change Proof is about thriving instead of just surviving. And this is a skill you can cultivate, both personally and professionally. Using case studies, current research, and real-life anecdotes from his work as an executive mentor, Markel and his guests explore concrete actions you can take in order to become “change proof” and change your relationship with change.
Bestselling Author, Renowned Keynote Speaker, Business Mentor, and CEO, Adam Markel has accomplished plenty and checked life’s “success boxes” and all of that work showed him something very profound about life in general―it’s not always about that. You can have success and still be unhappy. You can be in charge and still have stress. You can build your dream and not feel fulfilled. Change Proof goes beyond the topical, beyond the check boxes, beyond the list of things we think we’re supposed to be doing, to uncover the layer where our performance, peace and happiness exist.
When we think of resilience, we think of being able to “roll with the punches” and “bounce back” after uncertainty or change. But Resilience Expert and Researcher Adam Markel encourages you to aim higher. Change Proof is a show that will teach you how to truly, actually embrace change―to find the creative opportunity in uncertainty, as opposed to simply riding it out or reacting to it.
Let’s get real. You could be aiming higher. You could be thriving instead of surviving. You could be hitting back when life throws punches―instead of dodging and ducking. And there is no better time than right now to take back your life and to love it, no matter what.
Change Proof isn’t just a podcast, it’s a life philosophy that shows you how to truly, actually embrace change―to find the silver lining, use uncertainty to your advantage, and pivot when life is stressful, into something that serves you instead of something that stops you.
Drop into weekly episodes so full of the good stuff you won’t hear on any other show, you’ll be binging and growing instead of watching those reruns of Friends you’ve already seen anyway. When you tune in, you will learn how to thrive on uncertainty instead of merely managing it. This is where it begins, this is where you stop running from pivots and learn to love leaning into them, even when you aren’t sure of the outcome.
Through Change Proof, Adam Markel offers a much needed dose of energy, HEART and real talk to your day, making this a show experts call “bingeable” and “a must listen".

Resilience is not about eliminating stress, but finding the right dose and matching it with the right recovery. It's in this balance, in this harmony, that we perform at our best in every aspect of our lives. In this episode, Dr. Erik Korem, the founder of AIM7, delves into the topic of achieving resilience.

A big part of what Adam talks about in the book revolves around the 14 markers of resilience. In this episode, he talks about three of the most important: attention to health and good cardiovascular fitness; the capacity to recover rapidly from stress; and the ability to regulate our emotions. Tune in and find out how each of these markers contribute to building resilience and how we should implement them in our daily lives.

Bad things can happen, even to people that are in a good place, but it's how we respond to it. Life and business strategist Chris Salem says the problem and the solution are in the same place, you just have to go within and understand the root cause behind the effects of limiting patterns in our business and personal lives. Chris adds we have to be able to resolve the root cause at the source, to truly forgive the source, and not only the source itself but also more importantly you. He explains that at that point when you truly release it from your system, you have the ability now to be looking through the same process of meditation and journaling to find the solution, find your purpose, and then adopt better habits and disciplines and a specific life and business strategy that takes you to where you want to go, what your true purpose and calling is, and whatever your duty is to serve others.

Alvin Toffler said, “The new brain, the new education, the new leader of tomorrow is the brain and super change that can pivot.” That's a brain that can learn much faster, unlearn faster, and relearn faster. We're in a constant going mode now more than ever where the pace of life, the pace of change, and the pace of everything going on is exponentially greater. It's a different environment to conduct business. It's a business-focused and a business-centric environment where people are not only able to collaborate and cooperate, but they're also acquiring new skillsets. Berny Dohrmann, economist, investment banker, and founder and chairman of Forbes.com’s #1 Must Attend Business Conference, wrote a book on the topic called Super Change, and shares the premise of that book and where it fits into a lot of the change in the form of disruption we're seeing in the world today.

Consciousness is the basis of reality. That’s what Mark Gober is asserting in his book called An End to Upside Down Thinking. Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he learned of a world-changing science which suggests that contrary to the mainstream view, consciousness does not come from the brain. After researching extensively for nearly a year, he became convinced that a paradigm shift was in order: biology does not produce consciousness; rather, consciousness produces biology. Mark talks about his concept of consciousness and how it can affect our happiness and the way we live. He goes through his book where he recounts his journey, from exploring compelling scientific evidence from diverse spaces ranging from quantum physics to psychic phenomena to near-death experiences, and beyond. With his book, Mark aims to shift our view of the human potential and understand the true nature of reality.

At times, we find ourselves in a state of fear which blocks us from all the opportunities that will show up for us to succeed. This leads TED speaker, award winning social entrepreneur, and somatic intelligence life coach Chen Lizra to believe how people are actually more afraid to succeed than not. This is the reason why so many end up self-sabotaging because pain and struggle seems more familiar. Yet many people don’t realize this which causes them to continue with their old ways and crumble into fear. Chen takes us into a path of learning how to live and think in greatness through bodywork and experiencing somatic intelligence. She also talks about the importance of feeling and learning through the body.

She is the creator of the renowned healing accelerant, the Spontaneous Transformation Technique (STT), that delivers instant transformation and healing in seven to ten minutes.

She realized there's more than just the business A to B to C to D. There's the soul, and when the soul says you're done with something, it doesn't matter how hard you hang on, you are moving on. Jennifer unpacks the challenges she faced and the pivot she did in order for her to finally love her life.

The real key to happiness is knowing who you are. Most of us are so lost in everyday life that we don't know what our purpose is, what we are good at, and what truly brings us joy. Most of us are caught up in only focusing on wanting to make a comfortable living. Japanese novelist Ken Honda, known as the "Warren Buffet of Japan", argues that if you know who you are and what you’re supposed to do, you can still be happy even though you may not have money. Ken discovered that if you do what you love, you’re more likely to succeed than pursuing something you don’t like. Ken discusses the findings from his many books that have supported people in their quest to do what they love and who, in the process, find happiness and money. What can you do to find who you are?

Before Mary Cheyne went onto become the 2009 World Champion of Public Speaking, she was a shy computer programmer who hid behind her computer because she was too self-conscious. Many of you might feel the same or have felt that way at one point or another. When Mary started to realize that she wasn't being true to herself and that there was so much within her to express, she started on her public speaking journey. She decided to work on her public speaking skills so that she could articulate herself in public without feeling self-conscious. This journey revealed to Mary the power of what she embodied and the importance of our presence in every conversation. We don't know always know what people will take away from how we show up in the world.

Relationships are fundamental. The quality of our life is equal to the quality of our relationships. Every relationship has ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and having the skill set to build relationships gives you the ability to create and sustain high-quality relationships. Blaine Bartlett, CEO and president of the consulting firm Avatar Resources, Inc. says the average length of most of his client engagements runs about a decade, which in the consulting business is crazy. He says it’s all about the qualitative side of the work that he does with the folks. Blaine shares that compassionate capitalism is all about the ability to build sustainable relationships and focusing on the area of conflict. In his life in business, he discovered early on that an organization is a collection of people that are in relationship. There are interpersonal relationships that people have with each other and the companies and businesses. There are relationships with vision, with mission, with values. There are relationships that people have with their chairs, with their desks. Everything you encounter in an organization has a relationship component to it. Blaine says the success of an organization, whether it's a family or a business, is going to be predicated on how successful the relationships are actually functioning.

For teachers, creating a dynamic environment of joy with students can make all the difference. This is what Bobbi DePorter of the Quantum Learning Network realized after years of research. Teachers graduate university with a set of expectations and goals for the learning environment they'll create. Yet when they get into the classroom, the real world is often different. It’s an academic tragedy. For example, the students just don't engage and participate as visualized. Now, through the Quantum Learning Network, teachers are trained in how to create that positive environment of joy so students can love learning.
Bobbi DePorter is president of Quantum Learning Network, which produces SuperCamp summer enrichment programs now with 78,000 graduates and programs in 19 countries; and Quantum Learning Education (QL), with programs for teachers, administrators, students and parents. QL has trained over 100,000 teachers and through these programs and the 8 Keys of Excellence movement, has impacted more than twenty million students over the last 30+ years for their children. Their programs teach unique learning and life skills to teenagers in a fun, dynamic way.

When starting to grow a business, we start to think that we're the only one who can get things done properly. Taking that next step in business often means teaching other people about our vision ..... and then trusting them with it. Trusting other people with our vision can be scary, taking you out of your comfort zone. Owner of Leon Smith Publishing, Keith Leon, also known as "the book guy", learned to let go of this fear and take control when he started to do one scary thing every month. He compares asking “Why would I trust my team with my business?” to the question, “Why would I jump off a perfectly good plane?” and shares his perspective on the answers.

Reinvention is a response moment where you are given the option to access a greater consciousness that can lead to a life of joy. Yet, the life of TEDx speaker and Prison Break author Jason Goldberg didn’t start with joy but with a lot of anger. As a kid, Jason was constantly looking for a person to blame. This weighed heavily on him, even when he was living a great life with a great wife, family and job in IT. The day his credit card was cut off and he couldn’t buy a pair of socks was the day he realized he needed to stop blaming others and start developing a sense of radical responsibility. His livelihood and even what he does on stage to inspire people doesn’t define who he is, rather who he chooses to be at any given moment. Jason shares his story of being a guy who always carried a blame meter to the man who passionately spreads joy to the world as much as he can.

An award-winning filmmaker prior to her marriage, Adryenn advises business on how to utilize the crypto blockchain. However this pivot is just one of the many she made along the road of becoming a better version of herself. One such pivot came after a two year court battle related to her husband's former marriage. Throughout this, Adryenn learned how to stand and fight for social justice by presenting her argument in a way that people could actually hear, leading to her two books. Her latest pivot is a step further into the match-making industry with an app for sexual compatibility, among other things. Adryenn has found her own personal fulfillment in standing up for the importance of sex and the cryptospace.

It is such a special day because we're here, we're alive, we're breathing. There's just nothing more important than the recognition of how special this moment is and how blessed we are. That's blessing us in every moment despite the fact that there are things that are wrong in the world and things that we don't love about our lives and things that are going sideways at times in parts of our business or our personal life that we'd like to change or improve. Despite that, it's such a blessing to be here and to recognize that in this moment there are people who are taking their last breath. For us to breathe and be here breathing together is even that much more special and is something to be grateful for. I'm enormously grateful to be here with you and doubly grateful because, as I've been so blessed to do, I get to share the stories of people who have done amazing things in their lives, have been resilient, have been smart, have been not smart, have been the whole gamut of the human experience in context of business and also in personal areas.

We’ve got the amazing, magnificent, spectacular, vivacious, brilliant, Lisa Nichols. Many of you know her from being a part of Oprah’s shows and Steve Harvey. She’s written a beautiful book, Abundance Now, and of course her work with Jack Canfield on Chicken Soup for the African American Soul. Our conversation was just amazing. It was epic. Lisa gets quite vulnerable about areas of her life where she’s pivoted and the mindset and the actions that were taken that she took in those moments and how it is that she’s ongoingly challenging herself. She’s going to reveal something that she’s never shared before, something she is announcing that no one else has heard about, certainly not in public. It’s going to be announced for the first time here on this Pivot Radio Show. Stay tuned. Get ready. Buckle up. Whatever you’re doing, remove the distractions, get to a quiet place or someplace that you can at least focus and listen to this gem of an interview with the amazing Lisa Nichols.

I feel so blessed to be here. I'm really, really reveling in how great it is to be alive and how blessed and lucky I feel to be with you wherever you are at the moment. We’re connected through this podcast, connected through this Conscious PIVOT community and that’s a gift. That’s a gift in my life. I hope it’s a gift in yours as well. I've got an incredible guest on the show. I'm going to introduce you to him but I’ll say a couple of words first about him and then he is going to tell us about his pivot journey. I know that so many of you out there are deep, deep, deep in your pivot. Deep into the midst of it and sometimes it’s the muck and sometimes it’s the mire and sometimes it’s being on top of a mountain feeling like it’s the greatest thing in the world that’s ever happened. That’s the nature of pivoting. That’s the nature of making changes in our lives based on what our heart is directing us to do often and that takes courage. It takes guts. It’s takes fortitude. It takes resilience. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. It’s for people who love their lives and love to get after it. This gentleman that I'm going to share with you, he gets after it.
One of the things that I really love about him is his energy, his enthusiasm, his authenticity. I've gotten the chance to work with him so he is not a stranger to me. He’s actually a friend, he’s a colleague and he’s somebody that I've gotten the chance to spend some time mentoring and working with directly related to his pivot and in particular, his getting after the speaking piece of his business model that he wants to work on, public speaking. That’s something that terrifies so many people, the idea of standing up in front of a crowd of people and speaking and sharing some information. It is truly such a transformational opportunity, an opportunity to help people change their lives and at the same time build relationships that promote and assist in the development of your business. This gentleman is no exception to that. He’s working on this deep, deep, deep. His name is Brett Grossman. He is a father like me, a husband, a daddy, a trainer, a serial entrepreneur and a financial services expert. He resides in beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

It’s a beautiful day. It’s a gorgeous day simply to be alive. I relish this moment to be able to remind myself and to remind all of you, wherever you are, that this is a holy moment. This is a sacred moment if for no other reason than we are alive in this moment, we are breathing in this moment and there are people who are taking their very last breath in this moment. I can't think of any more important reason to be grateful in this moment than the fact that we are here together. Whatever the good, the bad, the ugly is for each of us at any moment in time, there's something to be grateful for and I'm grateful for all of you. I'm grateful for the friends and the gentlemen, the person I get to spend time with now in your presence. All of you collectively get to be the fly on the wall because I have a conversation with a buddy. I wouldn’t say an old buddy but certainly somebody that’s been a friend for a number of years. I really respect this guy.

I am once again blessed to invite a dear soul to the podcast today. I talk with Josh Trent, host of Wellness Force Radio, and a fitness industry expert that, among other things, explores consciousness and technology and the impact on humanity. Josh has incredible energy, I'm sure mostly thanks to his focus on what he calls "emotional and wellness intelligence". Josh shares his biggest pivot story, ironically occurring 3 years ago when we met. He shares how he grew up without the physiology or mental tools to deal with the stresses of life and how he used fitness as a catalyst for wellness. He discovered that most people use the vehicle of fitness to start letting go of weight and energy that doesn’t serve them until they ultimately realize that wellness is a continuum - or a life path.

Today I had the honor of talking with a good friend, John Assaraf. In addition to John’s many accomplishments and his near-celebrity status (he was featured in the Secret), he’s the CEO of Neurogym. Once a year, he and his company bring us the Brain-a-thon, a full day of amazing content on the brain – all for free. I am truly blessed to call him a friend. Aside from being successful in business, he is truly a solid human being.
In this episode we talk about successful navigation through challenges. Including giving yourself permission to realize that it’s not realistic to be doing amazing in every area of your life all the time. Not even people like John. As he puts it, we are all fellow humanitarians trying to figure out the path and the complexities of life. Every day is a new challenge – a challenge that we use as a way to grow. We talk about the concepts of balance vs. harmony and having healthy expectations as much as a big vision. John also shares a very personal pivot, discussing the nature of addiction and dependency and recognizing the power that resides in all of us. John’s company, Neurogym, is dedicated to studying ways we can use the brain to handle challenges even faster. He talks about the neural underpinnings of fear and challenge, and breaking free of these patterns.

Anita is a fellow TLC member and an inspiration to us all.

On today’s podcast, I introduce a new friend who truly embodies the meaning of a successful “PIVOT by design”: Cathy Demers, founder and CEO of BusinessSuccess.com. Cathy shares her pivot from the “pressure cooker” of a publicly traded company (that she founded and took public) to a business she loves and the blessing of being a lifestyle entrepreneur. Cathy’s struggle with a stress-based illness and the often conflicting interests of corporate life, drove her determination to conquer how to become successful in business, without paying the prices she previously paid. She too dismisses the myth of “balance”, and instead advocates for taking a longer term approach to holding a vision, redefining what success means, and then “relaxing into it”. Cathy and I also talk about success rituals and the creative tension between wanting to build something really big and exciting - and enjoying the process along the way.

Health is one of the MOST important elements of a PIVOT. And, it is one of the MOST neglected. I'm excited to introduce you to Eric Edmeades, someone from whose research, philosophy, and mission I've personally benefited. Eric and I discuss the "first principle of business": Getting your body right, what it takes to really make that happen, and the impact of, in Eric's own terms, a medical education system that doesn't focus at all on food and a food manufacturing system that doesn't focus on health. Eric credits his incredibly eclectic business successes to his own major health pivot in his early 20's and a later recognition that changed his life forever and fostered his mission to bring great health to so many others.

Those of you that are familiar with the PIVOT process know just how important discovering purpose is to any transformation, whether in your business or personal life. That's why I invited Brandon Peele onto the show to discuss the concept of purpose and to bring a level of "tangibility" to what can be considered an amorphous topic. Brandon help professionals and executive teams awaken their purpose-driven leadership and create profitable, high-impact businesses. He also delivers keynotes and workshops at large corporations like Morgan Stanley and startups like Net Driven. Through his talks and online courses, Brandon has guided more than 2,000 people from over 50 countries to find, live and lead with their life's purpose.
In this episode, Brandon shares with us his own pivot into purpose story: that of pivoting from Wall Street MBA to being a purpose guide. A researcher and evangelist of the science of purpose, Brandon discusses why purpose is "the door that we must all walk through" in order to be successful. You can learn more about Brandon at his website BrandonPeele.com and via some of his endeavors such as scienceofpurpose.org and globalpurposeexpedition.com.

I continue to be blessed with the most incredible people in my life. I'm thrilled (as usual) to introduce you to yet another powerful individual who's made it their life mission to help others: George Bryant. George is so many things that he's hard to describe with the typical bio. Yes, he's the New York Times best-selling author of Paleo Kitchen. And, yes, he's created the #4 app in the world, Caveman Feast 3.0. And yes, he's an online powerhouse. Yet, he calls these "superficial achievements". George's most important achievements are his own PIVOTs which led him to thriving as a bonus dad, loving father, an amazing husband to an amazing wife, and a person committed to many things. Not the least of his commitments is helping people and organizations put the heart back into their businesses. George helps them connect with what it means to BE in business and how to carry their ethos and vision INTO the business so that everyone they touch get that they matter in every step of the journey.
George and I discuss these pivots and how he's successfully utilized change to create an incredible life. One of the most fundamental success factors is how you think about yourself and your own sense of worthiness. George shares that, despite all of his "superficial" success, true success came only when he tackled the life-long work of worthiness, his own trampled by a tough childhood, almost losing both legs as a marine of 12 years, and his 12-year fight with bulimia. Whether it be food, fitness, mindset or business, George's mission is to put the heart back in all of it and truly connect.

Sandra played Christine in more than 1,000 shows over the course of 10+ years. Despite her success, it wasn't always like that for her. Sandra spent years as, in her words, a "scared kid from Detroit" that lacked confidence and experienced setback after setback. Her "PIVOT" to a confident, composed leading lady, singer, and keynote speaker is truly inspirational and chock full of learning! Sandra is also the co-author of "Your Creative Soul: Expressing Your Authentic Voice" with Caroline Myss. Learn more from Sandra at http://sandrajoseph.com/free-resources/.

I have the honor of interviewing Daniel Schmachtenberger, the Director of Research and Development and a co-founder at the Neurohacker Collective. There, Daniel is focused on developing processes and technologies for advancing medicine and human optimization. He is particularly focused on personalized medicine, adequate approaches to complex illness, and deepening our knowledge of how the human regulatory systems function, how they break down, and how they can be supported to function with greater resilience.
I'm so inspired to share this hour-plus podcast with you as resilience is a core principle of the PIVOT process. Daniel is a fascinating expert on this and so much more. So, fasten your seat belts because this hour-long plus podcast is filled with incredibly special and thought-provoking conversation about everything from sleep, to memory, to genetics, to performance and recovery, to the dynamics of longevity and even the definition of life!

I feel so fortunate to have so many incredible people in my life. And Lisa Garr is one of them! Lisa is the creator and host of The Aware Show, a talk radio program focusing on self development in all areas of life, for healing and achievement. Lisa's lifelong work is a key catalyst behind what I'm calling "the Mainstreaming of Consciousness" - the realization by society that consciousness is a critical aspect of success in all areas of life and no longer just the bastion of personal development. Lisa and I discuss how the conversations within corporate America are shifting toward this trend, Lisa's own reinvention story, as well as discovering your unique contribution to the world by first becoming aware of who you are ... versus who you want to be ... and more!

In this podcast, I explore the concept of identity as a critical tool for a successful pivot. I use the term "superhero formula" because of the analogy of the superhero, Clark Kent aka Superman, who goes into a phone booth with one identify and emerges with a different identity. As children, we are programmed to believe the following "success formula": You DO certain things in life in order to HAVE certain things to then BE someone whom others would respect as a result - DO-HAVE-BE. The superhero formula recognizes the flawed sequence of this. Many of us never find our true purpose and therefore "doing" is not the right first step.
The superhero success formula is BE-DO-HAVE in recognition that success lies with the concept of identity. The more you focus first on "being" the person you want to become, the more success you will have in your pivot!

This is a very special podcast for me as I welcome my oldest daughter, Chelsea Markel, onto the show! It is with great pleasure and pride that we sat together to explore the concept of Radical Self-Love and why it's an ESSENTIAL part of a conscious, sustainable, and meaningful Pivot. We dive into what's at the core of all Pivots, which is forgiveness, letting go, and self love. You'll learn powerful new rituals and practices for cultivating a deep sense of self-love and appreciation, and are invited to join our discussion around how vital this conversation is (and has always been), not just for ourselves, but for our communities and the world! This is an episode you simply cannot miss.

With the presidential inauguration upon us, among other significant social shifts, it seems that a "season of reinvention" is upon us with a vengeance. In this podcast, I talk with Joel Roberts about this current age of disruption, his own personal pivot story, and how he employed the pivot principles for his own successful reinvention. Joel Roberts is a former, prime-time, KABC radio talk show host in the #1 radio market in the world – Los Angeles.

In my second podcast, I discuss the concept of what I call "pivoting elegantly". The compounding levels of change that we're all dealing with right now make it much more critical to work on our skills of adapting. We need to leverage change, instead of letting it take us out. A key part of this ability to leverage change - or pivot elegantly - is facing our fears head-on. I share a 5-step process that enables us to act in the face of, and despite of, our fear. The magic of this process is that it turns something largely unconscious - the fear response - into a conscious choice.

In this first "official" podcast, I introduce what a Conscious PIVOT is all about. I discuss how the constant need for innovation today requires us to be able to pivot well in every aspect of our lives. I then delve into the critical elements of a successful pivot, including the importance of the 360-degree view, the relevance of self-actualization to business mastery, saying goodbye to the status quo, the necessity of being offense-minded, and more.
I'm blessed with a wonderful community. One of the most important reasons I'm doing a podcast is to be able to share and engage with all of you on a more interactive level. I look forward to your comments and questions below.

From my heart,
Adam
I'm so excited to be launching a podcast series called The Conscious PIVOT Podcast. This first podcast is what I'll call a "trailer" of what is to come in future podcasts. I'll be bringing to you powerful insights, interviews, stories and actionable advice on all topics related to creating greater impact in your personal and business life. Topics will range from entrepreneurship, reinvention, leadership, and money - to purpose, spirituality and relationships.
I firmly believe that in order to create greater impact, you need to have greater vision. Any successful "pivot" requires taking advantage of the 360-degree view afforded by the act of pivoting. This 360-degree view encompasses not only the technical skills that will allow you to succeed, but the awareness and self-mastery ability that forms a solid foundation on which to build your success.
I hope you'll join me for a much needed dose of energy, HEART and real talk as I and many of my guests delve into topics that will allow you to create "Greater Impact Through Greater Vision".
