6/22/2026 A QUEEN SIZED BED SHEET AND A REFRIGERATOR BOX ARE TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATIONEPISODE 1807“Authority to dream is not given it's taken. Take it. Be a kid again and be creative. ” J Loren NorrisToo often the harsh reality of life extinguishes the flicker of hope which once fueled our dreams and imagination. We allow the bills, the bullies and the bad days convince us the time for dreaming is over. We mock people who are willing to take risks we never would as ‘dreamers'. We discuss their endeavors as silliness. We look on their failures (learning opportunities) as a good excuse to do nothing ourselves. We once had fantastic imaginative dreams. We once saw the world through “anything is possible” glasses. We once believed “if it can be done, it can be done by me.” Let's get back to that idea now. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

6/19/2026 A DIARY, A JOURNAL, A CHECKBOOK ARE TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATION EPISODE 1806“True success is about managing limited natural resources: time, talent, treasure and attention.” J Loren NorrisWe cannot manage what we do not measure. Tracking the investment or expenditure or waste of resources will determine the measure of success we each experience. Using the everyday tools of our relationship, work life, education and career we can track and process the deployment of resources. However, any resource we do not track will not manage itself. How do you invest your reputation? RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

6/18/2026 A TREASURE MAP A TOOL FOR TRANSFORMATION EPISODE 1805“Success and failure are both great mentors.” J Loren NorrisFollowing in the footsteps of other great leaders is one of the most common endeavors of young and rising leaders. Sadly, many aspiring leaders lose sight of their future when they see their mentor stumble. Learning from your mistakes is not just smart it is an essential mark of a leader. Learning from the mistakes of others so you don't repeat them is known as wisdom. Everyone makes mistakes, the magnitude of those mistakes as well as how we handle the consequences are the makings of leadership survival. Know this: success and failure both leave clues. Study the predecessors of your industry and use their knowledge, skills and financial experiences (both good and bad) to create a map to your destiny. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

6/17/2026 AN ANTIQUE LOOKING GLASS AND A WORD BANK - TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATIONEPISODE 1804ABOUT THIS VIDEOWords we speak, words we hear, words we ruminate upon have a deep, profound and lasting impact on our lives. We need to consider three things about the words we allow such access to our future. List to the podcast to know what these three qualifiers might be. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

6/16/2026 FLOATATION DEVICES - TOOLS FOR TRANSFORMATIONEPISODE 1803LIFE JACKETS are most effective when donned BEFORE FALLING into the water. The better preventive strategy would be applying the discipline of swimming lessons. Luck favors the prepared. There are times life when no amount of preparation is sufficient. The kids at camp who were impacted by flood waters while they slept had no time to don a life jacket, secure a boat for safe passage nor even ask for help. Even the most expert of swimmers can lose the battle of swift water rescue. Survivors would tell harrowing stories of struggling against all odds with only the hope they could make it and the determination to NEVER GIVE UP. Tragedy like this is many times inescapable and we mourn those who were swept away. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

Join J Loren Norris on Story Power TV for an inspiring conversation with award-nominated author Ondrea LynnIn a deeply reflective conversation, J Loren Norris and Ondrea Lynn delve into the intricate relationship between health, fitness, and trauma, unraveling how physicality often manifests as an escape from emotional pain. Ondrea, who began her journey as a dancer at five, shares how movement became a coping mechanism amidst personal turmoil, particularly in a volatile home environment scarred by divorce and abuse. Her evolution from viewing her body as an idol to embracing it as a vessel for strength and healing exemplifies a fundamental shift in her perspective. Listeners will resonate with her candid storytelling, as Andrea discusses her transformation from survival mode, fueled by a toxic marriage and early motherhood, to a life grounded in faith and self-worth. The discussion navigates the bondage that comes with idolizing fitness, dieting, and external validation, illustrating how obsession can overshadow genuine health. Through personal anecdotes and insights, Ondrea sheds light on the impacts of trauma, detailing her struggles with self-esteem and self-worth influenced by experiences of assault and emotional abuse. As they explore the various coping mechanisms adopted over the years, the conversation highlights a range of unhealthy patterns, including infidelity and destructive relationships, that stem from unresolved pain. Ondrea's journey towards healing becomes a testament to redefining one's relationship with the body—not as an object for admiration or competition, but as a sacred temple deserving of care. By the end of this episode, listeners will not only find inspiration in Ondrea's resilience but also an invitation to reflect on their own issues relating to body image, emotional health, and spiritual growth.Resources & Links:Book Your Private Story Audit: Stop hiding your survival secrets and start leading with them.

If you have ever been scammed, had, taken advantage of you know the veil between anger and humiliation is thin. On the one hand you have pity and mercy hoping the shortcomings were inadvertently exposed.

3/20/2026 DOWNTIME - DELAY, DISTRACTION, OR DEEP REFLECTIONEPISODE 1760Procrastination, call reluctance, diversion of attention and getting ready to get ready are all signs pointing toward hindered success. Whatever you need to do, must to, are called to do, are paid to do, must be preceded by preparation. However, there must also be a time of action. Action precedes results. If you plan to HAVE nice things in life, you must DO hard things first. The longer one delays doing, the longer they will delay the having. Do you want to know what precedes the DOING? Watch the video.Get good at conversations. Start with stories.
