Fredrick Bussey is an entrepreneur, coach, speaker and author. His newly released book is titled "Breaking Orbit". Fredrick's background was in the music industry where he worked as a songwriter and a producer. He transitioned into artist management and marketing and eventually became a partner in a PR firm. One key shift that happened for Fredrick came through a coach saying to him "God doesn't make people without solutions." He realized then that he along with most people had not been taught how to discover his gifts and deploy it in the world. This has become his life's work. Some key takeaways: 1. A gift is given to you by someone else. A skill is something you acquire for yourself. Your gift is your capacity to fulfill a certain function for a specific purpose. 2. No gift that was created with a purpose can fail the purpose it was created to achieve. This relieves the pressure of competing with others. 3. Success is walking in your gift everyday. It isn't tied to money or titles. To find out more about Fredrick or buy his book visit his website - www.fredrickbussey.com.

Ant shares in this episode how he figured out his gift for finding humor in simple things by growing up in the church. He connected with @kevonstage and Jason Fredericks and they formed the Playmakers. Here are the big takeaways from this interview. 1. Start with what you have Ant shared how they started with their first play and the conditions weren't perfect but they got going anyway. The Playmakers grew from there and helped to launch their individual stand up careers after. 2. Be strategic with your creativity Even though Ant does improv comedy online, he still schedules time to record his daily videos. It is a part of a larger strategy to get booked for shows and to end up on tv. If you are creative you have to be strategic as well and not waste time and energy. 3. Stay focused on your goals Ant gets a lot of his comedy ideas from the feedback of his viewers. However he is clear that he can't listen to every positive and negative comment online.

We are back after a month off. This episode is a very personal and transparent one. Kymone shares where he's been, what he's been doing and some important lessons learned during the break. Lesson #1 - You are making a bigger impact than you realize We may be questioning our reach, our impact and the difference we are actually making with the work we are doing. We learn that more people are watching than we know, more people are listening than we realize and more people are following than we believe. The work you do is important because someone is being helped by it. Lesson #2 - Clarity gives confidence We each long for clarity as to our purpose, our lane and our assignment. Oftentimes we need the help of others to find that clarity. When it comes, it provides energy because we know clearly what we are supposed to be doing. Lesson #3 - The biggest limit to success is your own belief It is great and helpful for others to believe in the work we are doing and what we have to offer. Those are encouraging. What is most important however is our personal belief in our offering. If we truly believed, we would not let rejection stop us. We would not pull back at the first obstacle. We would keep going.

Jenelle Jack helps experts and creatives to write their book, share their story and make an impact. In this episode we learn that Jenelle always had an interest in writing but was afraid to put herself out there. Jenelle is an overcomer after having to learn to walk again after a hit and run accident. That spirit came through in this episode as Jenelle shared about her self-publishing journey. Jenelle went from writer to coaching and consulting with others who wanted to take a similar journey. "I thought I needed to be selling millions of copies of books or have a huge platform to coach others. But being online using social media opened my eyes to the fact that regular people a few steps ahead could teach others." To coach you simply have to understand the process, share your knowledge and experience so you save people time and money by learning from you. Jenelle emphasized the importance of building an email list. She talks about why just having a social media following is not enough.

Writing and editing were always things Simone knew she was good at. She has always had a way with words but never thought she could make money with words. Simone's family relocated from Toronto, Canada to Cleveland, Ohio and she struggled to find a job in an area of passion for her.

This job would open her eyes and her mind to the opportunities in social media marketing. Simone's philosophy is "I can figure it out," and that's how she has kept learning and growing her business. This skill to figure things out has been very helpful in the social media world where things are always changing.

Kirk Nugent is an innovator, leader and media consultant. He pursued a degree and career in Information Technology (IT) and working in that field allowed him to work in various environments. Kirk quickly learned that in the field of IT, and really in any discipline, you have to leave room for discovery. His naturally inquisitive nature opened doors that allowed him to work overseas in South Africa for a few years. Kirk was always a story teller. And it was not always clear how his work in IT would mesh with his love of story. But as he continued to find gaps, his job allowed him opportunities through media to bring stories to life. That quest to use his gift of storytelling has opened up new doors in the area of speaking and even doing voiceover work. Kirk teaches us to keep our eyes open even in our regular jobs, because opportunities for entrepreneurship are all around us.

Kevin B. Jennings is back with us by popular demand after giving us so much value on Episode 47. In this episode we talked about driving our schedules rather than having our schedules drive us. Kevin shared about a retreat he went to in October 2015 that changed his perception of planning his schedule. "Before anyone asks me, my schedule already reflects my priorities." We discuss the concept of an ideal week, which Kevin gleaned from Carey Nieuwhof. "Energy is futile. Do I know when I'm at my best? You want to do what you're best at when you're at your best." Kevin challenged us to not let email and other people's priorities rule us. He shared this concept from Brandon Bruchard: "Your inbox and email reflects everyone else's priority for you not yours." We have to prioritize even the access we give to people. In our discussion, Kevin shared his goal setting process. This quote from Michael Hyatt was helpful: "If a goal no longer aligns with who you are, throw the goal away." "Strategic quitting is a fantastic growth strategy." One of Kevin's role is a DJ. He shared a lesson from his DJ work that applies to business: "Give the people what they want." This interview will change your life. Go back and listen to Episode 47 if you have not already.

The topic of risk was a big part of the conversation. "When all the risk is yours, there is pressure to perform." Kevin doesn't overlook risk. He just doesn't see risk as a reason to not do something. Kevin moved out to California to work as the Administrative Director of the Loma Linda University Health Neuropathic Therapy Center. While there, he continued to listen to the problems of people around him. The idea for Carrington Case emerged. He didn't want to just build a product, but a brand. Kevin began to ask "what impact is this company going to have on the community." His passion for technology fed into the answer. The dream for Carrington Foundation's C3 Expo emerged. It is focused on preparing kids for the jobs of the future. This episode will challenge you to manage time, make a difference with your business and think about the legacy you want to leave behind.

Ryan Becker is a pastor of two churches in South Carolina. He shares his journey of starting the Absurdity Podcast. Starting the Podcast Ryan left college to pastor two older congregations. He realized he had a lot of free time and not a lot of structure. He wondered what he would do with all this free time and how he could use his passion outside of his location. After the pulse night club shooting in Orlando, his home city, Ryan wanted to speak to the issue. Podcasting became the way to do that. Love it or Hate it Ryan shares how podcasting has helped to improve his speaking. One challenge with podcasting was the lack of feedback from listeners. He realized quickly that people don't respond to or share what they "like." They share and respond to what they love or hate. Ryan is not afraid to discuss controversial topics on his podcast. Growing his podcast The key to growth of his listenership has been consistency. He shares how he has used social media, websites and having people to share on their platforms to grow his audience to over 700 downloads at least and 2,000 as a high. However Ryan said "I don't care who listens. I'm producing this ultimately because I'm passionate about it and I feel called to create it." Why should anyone share their content "If you feel called to speak on something and if you don't you are doing the world an injustice. If God has called you to create you are doing an injustice by not creating. We are to be stewards of our content." Ryan's podcast can be found at theabsurdity.org
