OWN YOUR SPACE

The transition from being a “Manager” to being a “Leader” is being responsible for those who do the job, not being responsible for the actual job. Taking care of your people…. with Human Kindness. Creating an environment that allows people to show up as their whole self. Creating the space that embraces our differences. A place that is safe… to be vulnerable and make mistakes. A place to learn and grow….to be better. A Leader will provide support, vision and guidance… in a Human, kind of way. It's about the journey and the experience, not the destination. It takes time, courage, empathy and perspective. Thank You… Simon Sinek, for your leadership.

On this episode, my guest Cat Moore and I talk about the importance of holding space for one another. Cat is a TEDx + Motivational Speaker, a Consultant, an Innovator, a Mom... and the Director of Belonging at the University of Southern California.  She has held thousands of conversations with people; on the streets, in coffee shops, universities, corporations and even NASA... and Me. Cat is raising awareness about the importance of holding space for one another. Treating people like Human Beings. Our conversation in the episode is about our "Human Connections." As a leader in corporate, I specifically engage Cat about the workplace.   - The interview; making sure the we (the employer) will be a good fit for you, so you can be your whole-self... sharing your ideas and energy with the group, in a way that adds value. - No more "work/ life balance."  Our work is part of our life.  It should be "Balancing Life." - "How Can I Help?" is a question we should all be asking, especially as a leader. (servant leadership) - C.L.I.C.K. : a method of approaching authentic relationships. CONNECTING with others as we are, where we are. LISTENING first, to understand what is needed.  INVESTINGATING without judgment. COMMUNICATE with kindness. KEEPING in touch from a place of commitment with on another. - Teaching people to "Interview your next employer", making sure they will be a good fit for you... so you can show up as your whole self and contribute to the group / team, as you are.  Everyone benefits when the environment is diverse and embraces inclusiveness.   - Holding space for one another.  We are all human beings. - Think Tiny, Think Little, Think Simple - "it's often in the tiny interactions that a lot of potency can start to change not just individual's lives, but the workplace culture" - Anytime you put the word "just" before something, it could be a tiny seed moment that could impact someone's life.

Thank you for pressing the play button.  I hope you find tremendous value in Episode 65, with Damon West. His story is amazing!  Having every opportunity in life, Damon made some bad decisions, getting caught up in drugs and criminal activity which landed him in a Texas maximum security prison, sentenced to 65 years. After 7 years and 3 months he was released on Nov 16, 2015... on parole until 2073. While in prison he adopted the "Be A Coffee Bean" mantra from a man named Mr. Jackson, which is about affecting a negative environment in a positive way.... and not letting the negative environment infect you.  "The Coffee Bean Life Lessons" that Damon talks about: 1. Every Day, Work out in 3 areas: Physically, Mentally & Spiritually 2. There are only 4 things that you can control: What You Think, What You Feel, What You Say...and What You Do. (that's it) 3. Your Past Does Not Define You: Your Past is your Lessons... Your Present is Today, a Gift.... Your Future is your Motivation. 4. It all starts with a Smile.  Your Energy, Your Body Language...will attract Positive Energy. 5. The Secret to Life is Servant Leadership.  Serving Others & Being Humble.  That's what life is about.

I was recently made aware of ”Toxic Positivity”…. as such that, for someone living with depression can feel even more isolated when people try to tell them “it will be ok”… “you will get over this”…. “Life happens for you you”. Yes, I believe all of that…. Power of the Mind stuff… However, when you live in a dark place of depression, it is extremely difficult to think this way. If you know someone living with depression, just be there for them and validate their experience. Just listen. They may not be ready to “problem solve”. They just want to be heard. They just want to know that what they are going through is real… and they want to be acknowledged. This is their journey. Don't try to help them with solutions. (Not yet)….Just show up, meet them where they are. Love them, acknowledge them, be there for them. I hope you find this helpful. If you want to know more, consult a professional. I am learning and growing. This is my journey and I wanted to share it with you. Be Blessed. Be Love…. Thank you, my friend. I hope you find this helpful and it brings you value.

When you have Heart Center Leadership in the work environment … creating a “Human Kindness” space… by getting to know your co-workers….as Human Beings… it allows people to feel recognized and validated… which reduces stress and triggers productivity… growth… and people start to thrive with their natural core competencies. As a Business Owner, Manager or Leader…it's your responsibility to direct and navigate an associate's growth, providing guidance with their strengths and opportunities as we give people feedback. The foundation of Heart Center Leadership is …Meeting people where they are….with Kindness.

Thank you so much for pressing the Play Button. This is a short episode I put out as I was journaling my thoughts. Every moment we have, we are either taking in energy (experiencing) or putting out energy (influencing). We have control over that energy. Whether we are Experiencing or Influencing… there are one of three areas that will be effected in our moments. Ourselves, the Environment, or other People. And…. There are 4 actions of energy exchanged, that I believe, we can control, wether it's experience or influence. (Internally) 1. The energy of THOUGHT. We can control what we think… what we tell ourselves and how we filter our experience. 2. The energy of EMOTION. We can control how we feel… our perception of our experience, in a situation… and not the situation, itself. (Externally) 3. The energy of SPEACH. We can control what we say. The words that we chose to speak, are our words. 4. The energy of ACTION. We can control what we do. The physical actions we take and the things we do, are our actions. We choose to (or not to) do them. The important part here…. is to have KINDNESS as the key element. This is positive for you internally and externally. When you show up in the world with Kindness, have awareness of this process and start to practice it… your world and the world around you will become a better place. I hope you've found this episode insightful and maybe even enlightening. Thank you so much for choosing to spend your time with me. I really appreciate it.

Maxwell Ishmail and I worked together for the 3 years I lived in Denver, Colorado from 2010 to 2013. I invited Max on the show as my guest, for a few reasons.    "Thank you, Max", for nudging me to start the podcast.... for putting the idea in my head.  Maxwell's energy is.... "life giving"... he's always bringing people together.  Max (a union employee) joined me, in Management (non-union)... and we built bridges and tore down the wall that had been up for more than 30 years, between the two sides.  It was the biggest metaphorical mountain that I've ever had to climb, in my career.  But we did the unthinkable.  We killed an extreme toxic culture, with kindness....with heart centered leadership... heart influence.  Being Mindful and feeding your Mind with Healthy Content is just as important as what you fee your body. Slowing down and making time for yourself is important... you can't give what you don't have. Max started "Lattes for Teachers" as his way to make a difference. It's a platform that combines two things Max is passionate about: building community and a good cup of coffee. See how you can support the teachers: Here's their Facebook Page & Website. https://www.facebook.com/alatteformyteacher   www.lattesforteachers.com   Max also works on bringing diversity into his community with the annual Msasa African Market.  The Msasa tree is where people will gather in his native country of Zimbabwe. Here's a link to the Facebook page. Covid has presented a few challenges these past couple of years.  https://www.facebook.com/msasaafricanmarket   The way we spend our time. - Making a difference - "It's not about the money, it's about owning my time... you only have some much of it."  I really enjoyed this episode and I hope you do to.  I hope that it inspires you to Be Kind, Build Bridges and Climb Mountains.  Building Community, starts with you. Be Blessed, my Friend.  Please Subscribe to the Podcast... and give me a review on Apple.  I would really appreciate it.

This is my first podcast recording in 2022. Up until recently, I've been fairly consistent and doing one a week.  However, for the past 3 to 4 weeks, I've been reflecting on my journey in 2021.... all the amazing people I've interviewed... my podcast statistics...  and taking time to pause.... and appreciate the relationships that have come into my life. I truly am blessed. I believe that it's important to take time... to reflect... and to look at what you've done, what you've learned, how far you've come.... and celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small.  Be proud of where you are at today... and the experiences you've had, to get here (even the tough ones). :-) Have the courage to keep going. Don't stop,  Don't give up...  and...don't compare yourself to others.  It's about you, your journey, your growth, your development. If you feel like things aren't going well, self reflect before trying to move forward. Give yourself grace. We are all Whole Beings... on our own journey.  We all go through these seasons in life.  It's the natural order of learning and growing. Believe in yourself. So... today...this is my reflection. - I interviewed 20 amazing people this past year  (most of them, tagged below). - My show was listened to in 24 different countries around the world and 36 states. (Much Love from Germany, Canada,  and Texas!) :-) - My show ranks in the top 10% Globally..... According to Listennotes.com (there are over 2,761,335 podcast) Thank you... for being part of my journey in 2021. Thank you... for "Tuning In" to the show.  And... thank you... for "Tuning In to You". If you missed an episode, you can go to Apple, Spotify or wherever you "Tune In".... and search for the Podcast.... "OWN YOUR SPACE" If you could leave me a review, that would be amazing. If you could tag me on Social Media, I'd be so grateful. (LI, IG or Fb) If you could share an episode that you connected with, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much! I Love you... and...

Anna Sandborn, is a wife, a mother and a Heart Centered Leader from Sweden. She is also the Owner of Mpire Development, a company that helps leaders build an environment that focuses on empowering and inspiring people, teams and organizations to come together in a synergistic way. She's helping teams find their "why"... and teaching her clients to create an environment built on trust, inclusion and caring... for people to come as they are and thrive as a team. Anna and I connect a few months ago through a mutual friend, Ryan Hartley, who also happens to be our coach and mentor. I asked Anna to come on the show and share her story.  The work she's doing is absolutely amazing: At the age of 15 she was hit by a car that was traveling 80 kilometers per hour (approx. 50mph).  She sustained life threatening injuries, but recovered quickly with no permanent damage. This event changed her life, going forward. It gave her the courage to follower her dreams. She pushed herself beyond her comfort zone, achieving her goals that she didn't think were possible. Several years later, while holding a management position with a company, she was in a second car accident. This event made her realize that she was put here, to give back to others.  She wanted to do more than be a manager, focusing on the numbers and the metrics. She quit her job and got into coaching, so she could help other managers become leaders and focus on people, not the numbers. Today, Anna focuses her energy on purpose, values and emotional intelligence (heart centered leadership). Anna teaches "The Why Workshop", inspired by Simon Sinek. She's helping many organizations achieve greater results through her work, as we start to be more patient with each other and treat each other as human beings. The name Mpire is Empower & Inspire (together)...and Anna is on a mission to help change the world. This is why the two of us are having this conversation. As more and more like-minded, like-hearted leaders come together, the corporate landscape is changing. Anna is shifting the mindset of Women Leaders in Corporate. It's not to fit them into the Male Leadership roles, but that it doesn't matter if you are male or female... Emotional Intelligence is the future of leadership, where people want to be engaged and invested throughout the process. Heart Centered Leadership, is about People, not Numbers. Leading with Heart Influence is being authentic, having the courage to be your true self, to trust, to be vulnerable and meet people where they are, regardless of our background or identity.  Please reach out and connect with Anna Sandborn: https://mpiredevelopment.se/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/annasandborn/  https://www.facebook.com/mpiredevelopment/ https://www.instagram.com/anna_mpiredevelopment/ Thank you so much for Tuning In to episode 57.  Thank you... pressing the Play button.

We are all HumanBeings… Beings of the same kind… the Humankind… Our experiences are similar… but unique to us… because of our path. Because of ….the information we take in. Our Perception of our environment. Your thoughts… your feelings… your experiences… are yours. The experiences you have in life… layer on top of one another….

YOU …get to …choose your actions within your next moment (or moments) That ability is super powerful. The power to receive information, process it through your lens, your filter… and decide what your going to do with it. You …are in control… of You. That's…the gift of Being Human. And you are not alone. We all have this gift. We all have the ability to decide. We are given this superpower to think, process… and act Or put into action…. Our Experiences.

“Be The Greenhouse” As Leaders (like gardeners) we create the environment in which our people grow. We have the ability (and responsibility) to provide them with all the ingreadiants and nutrients for them to thrive. It takes work….Hard work. But isn't Life hard? It's about choosing your “hard” …to create something more sustainable. (((

Perception Controls Behavior … down to our cellular level. How we perceive our environment controls how we adapt in order to survive. ….It's how we adapt to our environment. But here's the big reveal…. We are not separate from our environment…. We are the environment. And… as a unit… as a group… we alter our environment through our behaviors. Just like our our physical bodies. If you want to be healthier… Lose weight… get stronger… what do you do? You change the things you eat. You go to the gym You practice repetition You get consistent with your actions in order to create the desired outcomes you want. And it's not easy. It can be hard… to want to get up every morning and go for a run. To avoid the candy bar. It takes mental commitment. Mental fortitude. Like my dad told me when I was 10 years old. “You can do anything you want… but you have to put in the work.” You see our minds are just like our bodies. You have to put the right things in place…. And change “our perception” to get the results we want. We have to feed our minds all the good stuff…. In order to shift our mindset. Just like going to the gym to become healthier. So the question is…. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want change? Are you willing to put the work in…. In order to get your desired outcomes. If you believe it…. And start to change your behaviors…. Then the environment will start to change. What's the saying…. “If You want different results, you have to do things differently”. And I know it's possible…. Because I've been practicing it for 34 years… since I was 12 years old. My Results…. Have reflected the work I've put in. What motivates you? I'm motivated by humanity. I'm motivated by Love and Harmony. And when you take a close look at my history over the last 21+!years in this exact industry… from Phoenix, to Salt Lake City, to Denver and to the present Team I belong to…. If you speak with the people …. The very different groups of people… they will all tell you the same thing about me…. And “coincidentally”….. in each of those groups…. You will also see the same results. Achieving our goals… and being…. Operating in….within… The top percentile of all the other “groups” around the country. You will see “success” being achieved… as a measured by our goals and standards. So … yes… everything I'm telling you… has been proven out… in different environments…. Different cultures…. That have evolved into “success”. It's all about…. 100%…. Our Perception… Your Perception… Controls Your Behavior, which Controls Your Environment. It Starts with YOU!

When you think about high performing athletes throughout history they will talk about being “in the zone”. Or having “zen”. Those experiences are know as Flow State … or a Flow State of Mind. It's when you are so immersed in something so deeply that the world around you becomes quite. Being in a Flow State is when your mind, body and spirt are all aligned in a single focus. The energy flows freely in harmony… in unison, as one. It typically exists when someone is so passionate about something, or so in tuned, that they become one with their thoughts and actions in the moment. It's pretty amazing to watch. We don't just see it with athletes. Artists will often experience Flow State. Painters, sculptures, musicians and actors will talk about being one with their craft. It's like Jimi Hendrix's guitar will become an extension of the energy vibration from within him. When he plays, he has these moments that you can tell, nothing else exist, fir him. I could go on and on… Bruce Lee…Einstein. They have all experienced these moments when they are so hyper-focused on what they are doing… what they are focused on….that nothing else exists. Not even those things that most of us see as obstacles or road blocks. That's because our mind takes over and recognizes potential issues and then doubt sets in to disrupt the flow of energy. I believe the key… the really import thing to understand… is when you can be in a flow state AND aware of your surroundings… at the the time, to navigate those moments with the belief of focus and continuous motion that the “obstacles” are no longer a threat. They merely become part of the path in which you take. This is better understood as the serenity prayer… applying the serenity pray… not as in a guiding way of life… but in each moment… throughout life. Let's break that down. God (the higher power / or the energy of existence, within me) Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change (the calmness, to be at peace with the obstacles in my path) Courage to change the things I can (the ability to do something that may frighten me, but is possible) And the wisdom to know the difference. (the knowledge and awareness of my surroundings) I'm currently reading… actually listening to… the audiobook of Bruce Lipton, PhD, “The Wisdom of Your Cells”.. He talks about his examination of /and years of studying…. how our cells react differently to the environment (positively and/ or negatively) in “cultures”…and when you think about it… we are all made up of billions of cells. And our “culture” is the place where we spend our time… our environment. I would have to agree that a “toxic” “culture” will effect a long term effect and be “detrimental” to the cells (or people). The opposite would be true… when there's a positive flow of energy. Imagine being on a team of people who operate this way, together… in unison. All focused on the same end result. Different functions, different perspectives…different paths… but the same end result. The same focal point. It's not an unachievable utopia. It's all possible. Keeping that focal point as your beacon, you have to come back to how you make an impact: Self-Leadership. What are you doing to be part of the process? And it's not just what you're doing, in regards to results, but how you are opened up to others' actions and results…. Working together in a Flow State. Really powerful stuff. I'd love your feedback.

If you have a feeling or thought that is sitting with you… something that's important to you….then speak up… and ‘Say It.' The only way for others to understand… is to take what you feel and put it out there. Start the conversation. Start the dialogue. But the really important thing to remember…. Is to be intentional with what you say. ‘Say It' with purpose and the intent of progress. Progress is about being productive. Being productive is about growth. Growth is about being better than you were yesterday. Isn't that what we are all doing anyway? Isn't that what life is about?….. Growth. We learn to walk. We learn to talk. We learn to communicate. And isn't communication a two-way street? It's about speaking, to be heard…. And about listening, to understand. When we do it effectively…. Then we can build on it, for progress. When you have 2 or more people together, engaged in progress, you start to gain momentum. It's… You + Me = We. When you start to formulate something new, it's synergy. When people are synergistically involved with one another, they learn from one another and start to be impactful, for others. You start to ‘show up' in ways that you did not, before. Then others take notice and it impacts them. You get the picture…. It becomes the ripple effect. So… my friend…. Go out there TODAY… ‘say it, for growth's sake'… be intentional… be kind… open your heart… open your mind… and have a positive impact on yourself…your day…. and for others. THAT is self-leadership. It's up to you…. Because others can not do it for you. Be Blessed, my friend…. And Own Your Space… one moment at a time.

We are all moving in some sort of direction. We are trying to go somewhere specific. We are in motion… we are “busy” creatures. We are balancing life, between work, home, friends….our own personal “wants” or needs. Let me ask you this… is your “busy” ….productive? Are you making progress with your moments? Or…does it feel like you're spinning your wheels and just going in circles. Going round and round having the same results, the same experiences ….over and over again. I believe it was Einstein that said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” It's true. How can we expect a different outcome, if we aren't doing things differently… if our behaviors are the same? And I'm not talking about quitting what you are doing. Because then, you are just taking your behaviors somewhere else.…. I'm talking about challenging yourself…. To better. I'm talking about taking a different approach to what you are doing. Challenging your perspective. Changing how you look at things. Taking a different approach…. A different viewpoint. This can apply to a project you're working on…. It's how we speak to ourselves…. Our behaviors….our relationships. How we interact and communicate with ourselves and others….other human beings. You're a human being…. I'm a human being…. We are all human beings. When it comes down to the basic needs in life we all want the same things. We want to feel safe and have some level of comfort in our lives. Because like our unique fingerprints… we are all different … different human beings. We are all unique creatures. We see and process things differently. That's ….perspective. So the next time you are engaging with someone…. Don't assume that they are having the same experience… and see or think about things the way you see and think about things. Discussing the situation is significantly important to establishing a baseline…. In order to move forward. And…. This doesn't mean you have to agree. It just means….you understand each other. And that, my friend, is more than half the battle. Beyond that, it's about being mindful and respecting others' opinions. Being kind… and respectful to one another. We all have our strengths and we all have our opportunities. We are all different and that's what makes the world a beautiful place. We get to learn from one another and expand our minds…Expand our knowledge. Our differences…. Allow us to have new experiences. And isn't that what life is about….. Experiencing the world around us. Opening something new… and having that feeling of excitement. The feeling of discovery. Well guess what my friend…. Someone else's differences… gave you the gift of something new. Please remember that l, as you go through your moments… your day…. And thank you so much for pressing the play button. Thank you for Tuning in the show… And more importantly….

If someone else can do something, then you can do it. It can be done….and sometimes, even surpassed. You can do whatever it is you put your mind

Is your Mind Full of the past or future? Is it full of things that have already happened ….or the things that have yet to come? Or…are you being mindful in the present moment? I think both are necessary… but the key is to know when you should think about the past or the future…AND when you should be Present. It's important to learn from the Past and the be strategic about the Future… but everything happens in the Present moment. Understanding that… and how it impacts you, those around you… like your partner, your family, your team, your community…. is so important. A big part of that is the Communication process. Understanding how to communicate opens up efficiencies and allows us to move forward in a more productive and beneficial way.

When's the last time you checked in with yourself? How are things going? How are you doing? Life is “busy” as you know. It's important that you take time…. Or make time…. To interject moments into your life that align with your goals. Recognize the Wins… acknowledge the positive moments in your life. Don't allow all the “business” to navigate your moments. Create moments that help you move towards the life you want to live. Create small moments that move you in a positive direction. Simple moments… small moments. And when you do those things consistently, you will start to feel better and be better. You will start to make positive impact on your mental and physical well being. Align your Heart, Mind and Body.

This has to be one of the best conversations I've had since I started “interviewing” people. Nathan Todd has Cerebral Palsy. He's a Loneliness Coach, a Motivational Speaker and a wonderful Human Being. He does work with a non-profit organization in which he has “Story Time” reading for kids, but all ages are welcome to tune in. :-) Nathan talks about the realities of living with a disability, communication barriers and many unsuccessful job interviews. If you'd like to be more inclusive, Nathan can help you with that. During this episode Nathan facilitates a Loneliness exercise with me that will provide you with a tool to recognize when loneliness sets in and how to transition out of it, getting your mind in a better place. He also talks about how we communicate… verbally and non-verbally. This episode will leave you feeling inspired and full of gratitude for life. I Love, Love, Loved this conversation with Nathan.

Michelangelo said “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” As an Artist myself, I can tell you that being a sculptor is like being a Leader. Leadership is helping your team members uncover the things they are good at and highlighting those skills, allowing them to shine and thrive. And there's work involved. Being a Leader isn't easy. Sometimes it's removing a lot of unwanted material…and sometimes it's light sanding or even just a little bit of polish. That goes for Self-Leadership, as well. ;-) so….Press the play button… Press the SUBSCRIBE button… and learn to Own Your Space.

That's right, you harness Energy…. and you may not even realize it, but you do. I've talked about it in previous episodes, but we are made of energy. It's continuous. It flows from us. Whatever you are feeling or going through, you project out into the world. Understanding that… think about what you want to project into the world around you. Think about how your Energy is affecting you and those that are close to you. Think about those people in your inner circle. Whether it's your spouse, your significant other, your children, your co-workers, your team….. but most importantly… YOU. How is your energy affecting you? Where do you find yourself thoughts? Is it love? Is it hate? Is it nervousness or anxiety? The answer is, All of the above. The key is understand what's going on inside, being self-aware. If it's negative energy, then it's up to you, to flip the switch. Recognize what's happening and harness it. You are 100% in control of you. You control your energy. For the most part, I believe we all want to project kindness…. Because we all want kindness. Sometimes ….or most of the time… we just aren't paying attention to what's going on within us… and we let that (whatever it is) navigate us. We have to check in with ourselves and ask: Where does your heart lie? What is it that you would like to give? Sometimes it more difficult to do the work for yourself and it's easier to do it for your loved ones. So use that. Imagine projecting or transferring the energy you want. If you're giving (or transferring) that energy, then you are harnessing it. Which means it is now within you.. and if it is in. Allow it to be. Allow it to resonate inside of you and become you. Feel it. Accept it. Because, guess what…. It is you. Now harness it… and transfer it throughout your day. Direct it, wherever you want it to go. THAT…. Is Self-Leadership. And the more it happens, the easier it becomes and before you know it…it's who you are. It's easy…. And it not easy. I now that can sound confusing, but it's the truth. The idea of it is easy. The concept is easy. To open your mind and your heart and allow the energy between the two, to flow…. To flow within you and be projected from you… out into your inner circle of friends and loved ones. The “it's not easy” part… is that it takes practice. It takes healing. It takes forgiveness. And when I say that, I'm talking about you. You have to allow yourself to heal… from whatever is inside of you. You have to forgive yourself and allow yourself to move forward in a loving way. It's called change. Because that's life. That's the beauty. That's the gift. This is your journey. It's time to harness your energy and transfer it. It's time to transfer the energy you harness…. By getting rid of the energy you don't want, the unhealthy energy…. And let it go. And allow the new (renewable) energy inside of you to be the energy you want to give.

Being a great leader starts with Self-Leadership…and becomes Servant-Leadership. Thay are one in the same.

Those that you serve, need YOU… and you… need YOU. Show up for yourself, and you will then, show up for others. Be blessed, my friend.

Step back and take a look at the way you lead and how effective it is. Open yourself up to influences different from your own. Is your Leadership style Diverse? Is it Inclusive? Are you being intentional? Are you listening to others? Open to all possibilities? ReThink your approach and impact. It's always good to surround yourself with different perspectives. It's what gets the juices flowing… and allows you to go inside… before projecting outwards. Are you being purposeful …from a place of purpose? ReThink Leadership by inviting outside influences in.

Courage is already inside of you. It's waiting for you to “Have” it. Sometimes it comes out in the smallest ways, like trying a new food, of getting involved in an activity. And sometimes, it's the courage of facing your fear of going against “the norm”. Just know, that if you are feeling something deep down inside, there are others feeling that way too. “Have the courage” to stand up, speak up... and allow LOVE to navigate your courage... towards change.

In this episode, I wanted to share some thoughts I've been having about our abilities and skill set. In life, when we are faced with situations that we are comfortable with, we instinctively manage the moments like a pro. We “lean in” ... and take action. We have the skills and knowledge to get through those “small things” in life, because we do them often. We've conditioned ourselves to just “Do”. However, when a situation is unfamiliar, we back away from the moment because fear sets in. What we don't know.... is that... we know... how to deal with the situation. We've been doing it our entire life. When you breakdown the skills that we know, they can be applied to the things we don't know. It can be scary, trust me.... I know. :-) And as I start to practice these things... I want you too, to have the courage and faith... to Lean In. You (we've) Got This!

Leadership doesn't mean that you always have the answers... or are always right... or that you never fail. Leadership is knowing that all of the above is part of the process. It's having the determination and passion to keep moving forward, towards the results you want. It's being passionate about something... so much, that you lean into your fears to gain a better outcome... all the while, having the courage to be vulnerable. In this episode, I reached out to an old friend who shares that passion and we discussed our journeys with leadership. I hope you find value from my conversation with Scott Everett. We talk about being a leader at work, as a parent... and humanity. During our conversation, Scott talks about one of his heroes, Pat Tillman.

The content varies, depending on my guest, but the theme is the same; getting in touch with yourself. This is the show about YOU. So, in this episode, I decided to reflect and get really authentic with who I am. I talk about some of the things that helped shape me and what I'm focusing on to continue navigating my path.

In this episode, I interview Dr Fred, host of the podcast, Welcome to Humanity. He talks about his 40+ years in the mental health community, how it all started and what kept him going. His compassion and desire to connect with people is undeniably present during our conversation. He and I have an in-depth discussion about.... well... Humanity. He absolutely believes in treating everyone like a human being, regardless of what they are going through in their life. After all... we're all humans.... having real human experiences. He believes to his core, that by treating people with communication, connection and creativity... really just being present with someone...has magical healing qualities. His holistic approach to life and humanity is rather beautiful. It was such an honor to have him as my guest. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did interviewing him. You might even have to listen to it more than once.... to really get what Dr Fred is saying. I mean that.... really. He has a lot to say and you might not catch it all, the first time through.

From Rural Texas to Frankfurt, Germany...6 Time Zones and 5000 miles apart... I sat down with Vicki Moore, via Zoom, to record this episode. Vicki is an entrepreneur and the author of, LIFE BEYOND SHOULD. This is about her journey and the journey of others...who have overcome the expectations of what they “should” be doing, in order to be “successful”. Success doesn't have to include misery & burnout to create the life you want. You have to redefine “success” for yourself and have the courage to take that first step. Life “should” be about happiness during your journey.... and not at the end of your journey. Vicki Moore can help you with those steps. Pick up a copy of her book, LIFE BEYOND SHOULD, which is scheduled to be out at the the end of April 2021.

In the second half of this interview, Rip and I go a little deeper. Our conversation turns to The What & The Why in life.  We talk about Love and that positive energy that keeps us going.

In this episode I reflect back on the last 4 months of my journey with OWN YOUR SPACE. There's been some story telling of my own experiences and I've had some really great interviews that highlight other people's life lessons. It's been a learning process, for sure. The word GRATITUDE sums it all up. I'm grateful for many things, but Love & Failure are two, that really stand out. They are essential to us becoming better versions of ourselves. Life is a journey. Having the support and self awareness to get through our experiences is such an important part of growth. Life comes at us in seasons.... seasons of change. Seasons are part of the process and a transitional time. We all go through change. So with that, this episode wraps up Season 1, with Gratitude. Thank you so much for tuning in to the first 19 episodes.... and I look forward to Season 2. We are on this journey together! STAY TUNED... for more great content. Be Blessed!
