Where do you stand in the middle of an entire generation that's driven by career growth, life goals, and sky-high expectations? The world has projected the picture of success as a person who has built an empire, traveled the world, and conquered every single obstacle. Because of this, we start to compare and lose interest in the things that we already have. We disregard and underestimate what we're already experts at because the achievements of others always seem to outshine yours.

After 15 years in the corporate world, our guest woke up one day feeling unfulfilled, stuck, frustrated and even guilty about her own situation. This realization came up only four months into what she had considered to be her “dream job.” She then began to meet entrepreneurs and worked in understanding their main struggle: generating sales. With her long experience in the area, she developed a solution addressing the needs of female entrepreneurs, and made the transition from being a full-time employee to a full-time business owner. She’s now a trainer and a coach who is helping entrepreneurs build their own multi-million-dollar sales organizations. This is my conversation with Ryann Dowdy. Ryann is a sales coach for female entrepreneurs. She brings her years of corporate sales leadership to coaching women in business on how to ask for what they're worth, develop pricing and packaging, and approach each sales conversation with confidence. She offers free training on sales, sales process, discovery calls, handling objections, closing, and networking. Ryann works hand in hand with female entrepreneurs to help them overcome their negative mindset around sales to bring on more clients, help more people, and make more money. These are some of the highlights of my conversation with Ryann: - How she progressively transitioned from her full-time job to starting her own business. - Why it’s important to take our time, communicate with people, make mistakes and learn while starting our own business. - Why we shouldn’t be concerned too much about the “imposter syndrome.” You can connect with Ryann here: Website: https://uncensoredconsulting.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryanndowdyuncensored/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ryanndowdy  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanndowdyofficial/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3tfXQHWdhusdtCrEhl0yJg  Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanndowdy/  Uncensored Sales Podcast with Ryann Dowdy: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/uncensored-sales-with-ryann-dowdy/id1454687278  The Passion Accomplished podcast with Alberto Sardiñas is available on www.PassionPodcast.com.

What would be the top piece of advice from a serial entrepreneur and angel investor who has been involved in the development and transfer of hands of billion-dollar companies? Aside from being exceptionally successful, our guest has focused on an usually-overlooked aspect of business: the human talent. As a co-founder of several successful companies, including Lola.com, Kayak and many others, our guest shared why he considers choosing the right people as the most important business strategy. This is my conversation with the one and only, Paul English. Paul is the Founder and CTO of Lola.com, the easiest way for a business to manage their employee travel.

Did you ever watch the movie Jerry Maguire? Our guest is the former CEO of Leigh Steinberg’s sports and entertainment Agency, the inspiration behind this movie. In his first week at the job, he was confronted with the responsibility of closing a $900-million deal, and he did it by following his boss’ top negotiating principles. However, he once also lost $100 million in a bankruptcy, which forced him to figure out what had made him successful in the first place. He shares with us how money can make us happy by “shopping” for the right things and how we can recover after facing major adversity. This is my conversation with best-selling author and host of the top entrepreneur podcast The Playbook, David Meltzer.

“We all are billionaires.” This is one of the many powerful concepts that our guest shared with us on this episode. Originally from New York, his family migrated to San Juan, Puerto Rico when he was little, where his father later abandoned their home. He also experienced other difficult situations such as being ran over by a car, which led him to see life in a very negative way. However, our guest decided that he didn’t want to be defined by those negative situations, and progressively transformed himself to later become an internationally renowned life coach, who has appeared in media all over the world and currently coaches entrepreneurs that own multi-million dollar businesses. He’s here to share with us why we must be grateful with our lives amidst all the struggles that we face, why we should never lose faith in ourselves and trust the process, and why he sees each one of us as a billionaire.

Because of a stutter problem at a young age, our guest grew up being discriminated against and decided not to use his voice, resorting to communicating using the written word. This led him to develop a deep desire to achieve perfection, which later caused self-injury when he deemed himself to be imperfect. Later in life, he finally accepted his imperfections, and turned his life around. He is here to teach us how to find our own voice, by clarifying who we are, why we are in this world and where do we go from here. This is my amazing conversation with Kary Oberbrunner.

Are you ready to become the hero of your own story? Our guest became paralyzed after having a motocross accident. His dad had also become disabled and later took his own life. But none of these stopped him from turning his life around for the better. He’s a Paralympian and through very hard work he became a world champion. He’s also now an author and a speaker, and he shared with us how accepting our own responsibility can help us turn our lives around and become the hero of our own story. This is my amazing conversation with Kevin Rempel. He is a 2013 World Champion and 2014 Sochi Paralympic bronze medalist in sledge hockey who has an incredible story of overcoming a tremendous amount of adversity. Paralyzed after a motocross crash in 2006, Kevin had to face insurmountable odds while learning to walk again at the age of 23. Adding to this, Kevin had to deal with his father, Gerry, who also was living in a wheelchair. While deer hunting, Gerry fell from a tree leaving him a complete paraplegic one year from retirement. Unfortunately Gerry couldn’t deal with living with his circumstances and took his own life in July 2007. That following year, “Remps” as he likes to be called by his friends, found sledge hockey and set his sights on making Team Canada and playing in the Paralympics. Since then he has travelled the world, inspired thousands of people, and has been featured around the world in media such as CBC, TSN, and BBC Sport. Today, Kevin is focused on helping grow the sport of sledge hockey through his team building program, The Sledge Hockey Experience, and passionately taking the stage, either live or virtually, inspiring audiences with The Hero Mindset Keynote and coaching leaders using The Resilience Toolbox.

From being a successful corporate executive to being bedridden. Our guest migrated from India to the United States, had a very successful life with a great family, a great career, and was living the American dream. However, one day, a brain stroke changed everything. He started questioning his own ability to recover and had to find the strength to face a new stage in his life.

"Why we choose suicide" is the title of the top rated TEDx talk of our guest today. He is a mental health advocate who in the past attempted suicide several times, and at one time was saved by a stranger from jumping off a bridge. This situation opened his eyes and allowed him to get on a different path in his life. His TEDx talk is ranked as one of the top in the world. He shares with us the way in which he believes the system has failed people who are going through depression and suicidal thoughts. He also explains how we can be a positive influence to help those going through mental health issues. This is my conversation with TEDx speaker, author and mental health advocate Mark Henick. With over six million views, Mark’s TEDx talk is among the most watched in the world. His story of searching for “the man in the light brown jacket” who saved his life from a teenage suicide attempt captured global attention, and when he learned of products being sold on Amazon that promoted suicide, his successful online petition to have them removed garnered tens of thousands of signatures. Henick has dedicated his life from an early age to opening minds and creating change. His talks are informed by his direct experience with stigma and the mental health care system, and he brings his diverse and unique perspective to every audience as someone who has been a patient, a professional, a policy influencer, and a public figure in the mental health system. Mark is currently the Principal and CEO of a boutique consulting firm that helps individuals, companies, and governments to move strategically from awareness to action in improving mental health and wellness.
