What are you waiting for? Are you ready to WIN?? Are you ready to start a riot for your life, business, career but most importantly your legacy? Well again I ask… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Lyndon B. Johnson said, “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” SO, are you ready to WIN? Our guest today is a winner, she helps people win and she has a winning personality!

Are you tired of doing the same thing day after day, year after year?  Have you fallen out of love with your business or your career? Maybe, just maybe your hit an all-time low and haven't been able to pivot or in chip up (as we say in golf). Perhaps it's time to reinvent yourself? What are you waiting for? Vera Dragilyova stated, “I continuously change my mind and reinvent myself, the way that compound interest works.  And not on a whim or without reason, but quite on the contrary--because the changing environment offers so many reasons to change in reaction. I am a project manager of me and my life, and the strategy is constantly micro-modified, with small and drastic changes, as the new information comes in.  SO, are you ready to REINVENT? Our guest today built a $10 million real estate fortune, lost it and reinvented his life. Connect with Damion by visiting his website https://damionlupo.com/ Grab his books

Have you ever wrestled with destiny? I mean when your path is redirected what do you do?  I mean seriously. When you have plans to do one thing and something happens and you have to change your course of action what do YOU DO? Many sulk, blame, and take on a defeatist posture. Others make a conscious effort to turn lemons into lemonade and reinvent themselves and their purpose. You see just because plan change doesn't mean your purpose has to change you just decide to live it out differently. That's exactly what our guest did.  Connect with Velvet you can follow him on facebook at @theplanetvelvet   www.instagram.com/velvet478

Our guest today spent years numbing emotional pain with food, eating upwards of 20,000 calories a day. Her weight peaked at almost 600 pounds, and she was ready to give up.

Distractions. Distractions. Distractions are all around us. The interactive world we live in today allows for plenty of distractions. There are distractions by our coworkers, our family, our friends, our pets, these cell phones. Then there are our own vices browsing at the latest sports scores, social media notifications, what's new on Pinterest and yet again another cat video or seeing which band is going to be playing at our favorite music venue. Some of these distractions are welcome, and should be. But all too often, they can become a nuisance that interferes with our productivity. So I want to give you 4 tips to help you create a consistent life management versus time management. Remember stay focused! We want to hear from you!

How to Win Friends and Influence People does that sound familiar? Well it should it's the title of a book written by the late Dale Carnegie. Carnegie wrote the book to help salespeople sell better. The book was actually a byproduct of a course he developed with the same motivation. Well it became pretty clear that the techniques he discussed went way beyond sales. The advice in the book remains timeless. This episode is a kind of review of the book and as a reminder that this book can truly serve as a life guide on how to be influential. The book spells out some common sense techniques, yet many people fail to implement them, even after they have read the book. This is why Dale Carnegie himself, suggested using the book as a reference after the first read. It's important to reinforce the techniques described from time-to-time. We want to hear from you!

Riot Starters! I have a few questions for you today? What are you attracting? What are you manifesting? What are you sabotaging that's keeping you from achieving success in LIFE? Many of us walk around with limiting beliefs, resentments, and blame not really taking the time to stop, reflect, reconnect and adjust ourselves.  WE do it because we have some faulty wires that need to be removed AND replaced! But in order to do that it takes a level of awareness (I call that getting real with self). And it takes a level of consciousness and it takes a level of reflective thinking and action! Well before I get too deep on you hold on because we are about to go deeper with our guest today. She is known as the “Silver Fox of Consciousness”, Beverly Fells Jones.

Riot Starters, YOUR Limiting Beliefs are Success Blockers!  That's right, your fear, your passiveness, your needing permission, your need for validation, your fear of greatness, your fear of rejection, not being good enough   You have been trying to advance in your career for a long time; maybe even trying to get a business idea off the ground, or reach a success goal you want for your life but it's just not happening. Obstacles arise – one after the other - and you never seem to conquer them enough to keep on the path to success.   It's likely not the obstacles, it's YOU  - and your limiting beliefs.    We want to hear from you! http://drtaunyalowe.com/ Join us in our community on Facebook, Riot Starter Nation and be sure and grab your free gift.

Riot Starters… I have a secret for you… Are you listening?? The secret sauce to success is:  Relationships. Why relationships?  Because we are human beings, designed to interact with other human beings.  This, by default, entails relationships.  And also by default, if you don't have appropriate skills to manage your relationships, you will fail miserably at whatever success you're aiming.   We want to hear from you! http://drtaunyalowe.com/ Join us in our community on Facebook, Riot Starter Nation and be sure and grab your free gift.

Riot Starters I just had a knockdown drag out love fest with a client. Why? Because their self-limiting belief revolves around worrying too much about what others think and say. And it's standing in the way of progress and it always has.  As much as we'd like to show that we don't care about what others think about us, we do.    Many people are so pre-occupied with it, how others see, and think about them they don't realize it's holding them way back. So much so as they seldom take part in things they like. Whether it's the feeling of embarrassment, or the fear of being laughed at, caring too much only holds us back from what we REALLY, REALLY want. Here are 6  signs to know if you worry too much about what others think of you so you can STOP, CHANGE and GROW!

The H. Jackson Brown, Jr quote states, “When you can't change the direction of the wind – adjust your sails,” it is one that has depth and meaning if there are things going on in your life that you can't control. The only things you can change are those which you have control over. Therefore, you need to find a way to get on with your life (adjust your sails) and look to the future rather than spending more time on what's not working. How much time are you spending on things that are NOT working?

Something HAS TO end.  I was thinking… We intentionally delay endings instead of being intentional about creating more happiness, opportunity and growth in our lives. Riot Starters, there has to be endings to create new beginnings.  An old year ends and a New Year begins, full of promises of change and new experiences. Mitch Albom, author of “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” wrote: “All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.” Connect with us and visit our show notes page www.drtaunyalowe.com  Join our Facebooks community at Riot Starter Nation https://www.facebook.com/groups/riotstartersnoexcusesmasterclass/ Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theriotstarterchatpodcast/ Grab Your FREE Gift www.allowingmindset.com  

Riot Starters, are you busy or productive? Many of us think because we are hustling we are being productive. Productivity is an average measure of the efficiency of production.

I have worked with some brilliant clients who had brilliant ideas and had pressed the go button way before they started working with me. But the limiting belief that kept them from moving forward and bulldozing into greatness was someone close to them. I know it's hard to accept, the people you're the most acquainted with might be working against you, and the sad part is many don't realize it… but then again, sometimes they do.   Here are 5 warning signs that your friends and family may be trying to sabotage your success:   Connect with us and visit our show notes page www.drtaunyalowe.com  Join our Facebooks community at Riot Starter Nation https://www.facebook.com/groups/riotstartersnoexcusesmasterclass/ Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/theriotstarterchatpodcast/ Grab Your FREE Gift www.allowingmindset.com

Get your FREE download of my audio and e-book The Art of Allowing: Learn How You Can Let Success In at www.allowingmindset.com  I've been thinking because that's what I do I think A LOT and I research A LOT but this whole notion of leaving the comfort zone hit me today.  There are many people stuck like cement in the comfort zone and we ask them to leave it and escape it so that they can get to the good life. The reality is you can't mentally or physically leave the comfort zone until you cognitively do it. Yes, if we first begin to think outside of the box, then we can free ourselves from the mental, emotional, financial, boxes we have placed ourselves in and have grown comfortable.    

Dr. Taunya Lowe chats with America's OBGYN, author, and media personality Dr. Draion Burch affectionately known as Dr. Drai. Maybe you have heard him on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, read his articles in a number of magazines, or maybe you have seen him on The Today Show or CNN. Or maybe you have read his book, 20 Things You May Not Know About the Penis.  Dr. Drai shares his medical expertise freely and because of his big heart, he has made it his mission to change the lives of medical professionals who have the desire to step outside the hospital walls and monetize their genius, but who also have no idea how to get started.  Dr. Drai will be sharing juicy tips with us on how to increase our power and monetize our riots!

Dr. Taunya Lowe chats with Kathy Kidd about the Power of Your Story and how to use your story to transform the lives of others. 

Dr. Lowe chats with us about our lizard brain! It controls the need for acceptance—and the fear that we won't be accepted—that part of the brain that believes we must ensure we are included in our tribe, no matter the cost. That' the lizard brain! The lizard brain cares what everyone else thinks, because status in the tribe is essential to its survival. It drives people pleasing and codependancy.

The 2010 Deloitte Shift Index reported that 80% of those surveyed said they hated their jobs. They didn't dislike their jobs. They weren't irritated with their jobs. They hated their jobs. That's pretty strong language.You spend the vast majority of your waking hours at your job. Theoretically Monday through Friday is divided into thirds. There are 120 hours in a 5-day work week. If you sleep 8 hours a night and work 8 hours a day, than that leaves 8 hours you can call your own. Again, that's the theory. So what can you do about this hating your job stuff?

Positioning yourself as a leader will make your work more meaningful and advance your career. You can gain influence based on your title, or on knowledge and skills you already possess.  While it could take years to climb the ladder up into senior management, tapping into your personal strengths is something you can start doing right now. Learn how to use your current assets to build up your clout in the workplace.

You may be in the down shift and you need to shift up. Perhaps feeling like there needs to be a major shift and understanding that “I am the only one capable of manifesting and implementing that shift.”  If you are, perfect, because I want you to know that miracles happen when shifts occur. When you are in the down shift. That's where you build your momentum to rise up like a Phoenix.  I want to share my personal process with you. It's going to require two things.

Our thoughts impact our actions, and ultimately, the level of success we achieve. Our thought patterns influence our emotions and perspective of the world. If you can identify your negative unhelpful thought patterns, you can correct them and develop new ways of managing yourself and the world from any angle or any window.  Our thought patterns influence multiple aspects of your life: Let's chat about the top 8 and replace them with a positive perspective.

Riot Starters this is our 100th episode of the Riot Starter Chat – our Centennial episode and I am very excited to share this with you our listeners in more than 15 different countries! I hope that in these 100 episodes that you have heard something that has helped you to GROW personally to your next level, my coach John Maxwell says, "Personal growth is the cornerstone of success."  I believe that 150%.  So today on our centennial celebration, 100 episodes - I'd like to ask you 9 essential questions that I hope will ignite riot starter growth in YOU!  So grab a pen and some paper and let's start a riot!

While many believe that knowledge is power, knowledge is only powerful when it is consistently applied. Consistency may be the most important component of success. A small step forward each day adds up to a lot of mileage over time.  I know this to be true because I've been consistent with a fitness regiment for several months now, working with a trainer and feeling myself getting stronger each month. Slowly seeing the needle move on the scale but uber excited about my dedication and consistency to my progress. You see, I'm not looking for a quick fix like many of you, I'm in for the long haul. What about you?  

Riot Starters, I have a secret for you, everyone who has stepped out on faith and JUMPED is not making 6-figures. SO You still wanna be an entrepreneur? This episode is in no way designed to scare you but it is designed to inform you so that if you have JUMPED this episode will prevent you from making some of the mistakes me and my guest made AND if you haven't JUMPED and you're thinking about taking the plunge, you will be way ahead of the curve. SO grab your tea and get ready to clutch your pearls as we tackle this amazing two –headed beast called entrepreneurship. We are chatting with CEO of The Leveasx Group, Founder of the Genuis Academy, 5x Author, Strategist, and Speaker, Asa Leveaux.  

We lie to ourselves on a daily basis. These lies cover up our perceived shortcomings and prevent us from taking risks. Ultimately, the lies we tell ourselves limit us and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest. In the end, the lies we tell serve the purpose of making us feel better in the short-term. You may not even be aware of the lies you tell yourself. I want to chat with you about the 7 lies you tell and how to avoid them so you can start a riot!
