Spirit Business

Life coach and author, Robin Meyers, talks about how to reclaim your identity and follow your dreams by remembering your true identity. So often we can become so focused on the needs of others that we forget about how we can empower our own path to self-discovery. Robin talks about her own personal journey which lead her through some dark times, but now she is dedicated to helping women align their lives with balance, creativity, and clarity. Robin talks about how when we are experiencing dark times, we feel completely alone, scattered, and confused. But, we can transform our difficult experiences into a time of creativity so we rediscover the life we are meant to live. About the Guest: As a life strategist, Robin’s goal is to empower women, all over the world, to find their passions and to follow their visions at any age. Through life there are many transitions, but what matters most is that women realize that their self- worth is non-negotiable.  Robin has her master of science in molecular genetics from Case Western Reserve University but was never passionate about that field. She went through life serving others and doing what others expected of her. After some thoughtful insight, she became an educator, mentor, speaker, author and founder of Navigate & Empower LLC. Robin has over 25 years experience in the corporate and non-profit world in education, training and mentoring. She is the author of “Alone but Not Lonely” - recently published by Balboa Press.

Most of the frustration, pain, and suffering that we humans experience is due to a lack of understanding about how to experience, manage, and express our emotions. What if you had a manual to release long-held feelings that no longer serve you? You're in luck. On this interview, I speak with Leadership Coach Joie Seldon about her upcoming book, "Emotions: An Owner's Manual". We discuss the profound value all emotions hold - even those we label "negative". We talk about the importance of business owners understanding how to navigate their own emotional terrain so they can effectively deal with conflict in their companies. Joie emphasizes that the result of this important work is less stress, more self-confidence, greater self-trust, and coming home to your true self. For 15 years, Joie Seldon, M.A. has been coaching and empowering executives and project managers at Fortune 500 companies, CEO’s, and entrepreneurs, to identify and quickly solve problems, improve employee engagement and reduce their personal as well as team stress. A master improvisation teacher, Joie was a professional actor, acting teacher and workshop leader for thirty years in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Improvisation teaches you how to think on your feet and deal with whatever is thrown at you, whether it’s a disaster or a sudden opportunity. Many people think that acting is a form of pretending. That may be the case when the acting is bad. However, great acting is the art of human behavior. It is the ability to be real. She has created numerous workshops that teach business professionals to how express themselves in authentic and compelling ways, whether in networking, public speaking, being interviewed or leading a meeting. Joie holds a master’s degree in Somatic Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. Somatic psychology has a scientific foundation that incorporates aspects of neuroscience, molecular biology and the autonomic nervous system.

Jared Karol is on a mission to help mission-driven entrepreneurs develop and share their unique stories. As CEO and Founder of Storytelling for Good, he coaches business owners on how to develop their origin story then share it with the world. On this episode, he delves into why sharing your personal business story (on your website, social media, and at networking events) is the most powerful way to develop an emotional connection with your target audience. By authentically connecting with your ideal customers through storytelling, your business will attract and retain loyal clients.  Grab a cup of tea and tune in to Jared's advice - learn why sharing your story is what will make your brand unforgettable. When Jared was 14, his father told him he was gay. This new reality totally changed the trajectory of his life. Growing up in 80s in the San Diego suburbs, homosexuality wasn’t a part of his existence. In fact, diversity of any sort––people, perspectives, cultures, ideas––was severely lacking. But things were changing, and his thinking was evolving. Visiting his father in San Francisco through his high school and college years exposed him to new ideas and a more expansive way of looking at the world. Over time, curiosity led him out of his comfortable provincial bubble, and he began to realize all that he had missed by growing up in a homogeneous environment.  On September 29, 2000, Jared’s father died of AIDS. Shortly after, he moved up to San Francisco to immerse himself in a more socially conscious and diverse environment. Values such as empathy, collaboration, and inclusion became central to his world view, and he has applied them to his professional and personal life ever since––as a teacher, a writer, a parent, and a community member. He helps social entrepreneurs communicate the value of their business through storytelling and writes about diversity and inclusion in tech, education, and other industries.

She intimately talks about overcoming her own blocks to marketing as a heart-based entrepreneur (including the tech learning curve!) and describes how hypnosis is the best method to free yourself from any limitations keeping you from business success. Debi Boushey, Board Certified Hypnotist and Certified Instructor, has been practicing and teaching meditation, metaphysical mind sciences and hypnosis since 1982 with students and clients around the world. A practitioner of the Law of Attraction and other prosperity/spiritual teachings, she helps clients identify the trapped past emotions that are blocking them from living a life of health, wealth and abundance. She was the co-founder and principle Instructor at the highly acclaimed ISHI School Of Hypnosis Training in Berkeley for twenty-two years. While at ISHI she hosted a live, call-in weekly radio show called “Total Prosperity” that drew many loyal listeners from around the Bay Area and then world wide when ‘internet live-streaming’ was introduced! Debi has served as a Board of Director for two non-profit organizations for a total of fifteen years where she acted as Fundraiser and Event Planner. While chairing one of the Boards she worked closely with local and state political officials and organized and facilitated two events that were co-hosted by the actor/activist Martin Sheen.

Most Solopreneurs love the autonomy and freedom they get from owning their own business but also crave collaboration and don’t want to do it alone. But, how do you create successful strategic partnerships? Tara Butler Floch, "the coaches' coach" shares her wealth of experience and knowledge on the different types of strategic partnerships and what to look for in a desirable business partner. On this episode, she dives deep into how to overcome obstacles to creating lasting strategic alliances and reveals her six-step plan to attract the right partner. Tara Butler, CPCC, PCC of Broadview Coaching is known as “The coaches’ coach”.  She has been passionately committed to helping entrepreneurs launch and grow simple, joyous, and prosperous businesses since 2000 when she founded her own consulting and coaching practice.  She has helped hundreds of clients create meaningful, sustainable, thriving businesses. As a coach herself, she witnessed many passionate coaches quit their full time job to launch their practice, only to put their dream on the shelf because they didn’t know how to build a successful practice and couldn’t do it on their own.  Tara was first introduced to coaching in 1995 after hiring a coach in her first executive role at PhotoDisc where she ran their worldwide Sales & Service organization for 4 years.  She found that it significantly impacted her effectiveness and execution, her personal and professional relationships, and her work/life balance.  It planted a seed in her that sprouted into her own personal development journey. Sales at PhotoDisc grew to $150 million in her tenure before it merged with Getty Images, where Tara went on to have several Executive Roles (there and elsewhere) before realizing she wanted to merge her passion for business with her love of personal development and start her own consulting and coaching company. She thrives on helping others overcome obstacles and realize their highest potential.  It drew her to become a Board Member of The Excellence Foundation, a non-profit organization that offers personal development programs, and later became their Executive Director for over a year.
