Podcasts about Authenticity

Forrest and therapist Meg Josephson explore the fawn response, a survival strategy where safety is sought by pleasing other people. They discuss how fawning can start as self-protection in childhood, but later morph into overthinking, hypervigilance, and self-abandonment. Meg shares her own experience, including how fawning creates resentment and makes it difficult to find a healthy relationship or figure out your authentic needs. Topics include becoming aware of unconscious habits, building distress tolerance, grief, self-compassion, healthy boundaries, and speaking up for ourselves.

Summary In this episode, Andy interviews Jim Ferrell, author of  You and We: A Relational Rethinking of Work, Life and Leadership. Andy has long been a big fan of Jim's work with The Arbinger Institute, authoring Leadership and Self-Deception and The Anatomy of Peace.  In this conversation, Jim unpacks his insights on how leaders can move from a self-focused to a relational mindset. Drawing from his new book, Jim explains why our effectiveness as leaders depends not just on what we do, but on how we view and relate to the people around us. The discussion explores what it means to be relational instead of transactional, how leaders can better navigate conflict, and the subtle ways our self-deceptions hinder growth. Jim also shares practical ideas for building trust, leading with humility, and focusing on outcomes that matter most. This episode is packed with thought-provoking insights that will challenge how you think about leadership, culture, and collaboration. If you're looking for insights on how to become a more relational leader and truly impact those you serve, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Machines don't have to be great at relation, but they'll be great at everything else. And if we're lousy at relation ourselves, we won't have a job.” "Those who can relate better, that's the uniquely human competitive advantage we bring to the marketplace." "The top people spend most of their time on the relational work, not on the other stuff. So you see it happening already. That's all going to be accelerating." “The most important part of the chart of any org chart is actually all the space in between the names and boxes, because that's where everything's happening, right?” “We went from the body economy to the mind economy to now the heart economy.” “Proximity is not necessarily closeness.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:55 Start of Interview 02:07 Jim Ferrell's Backstory and Early Influences 06:17 About Jim Writing Leadership and Self-Deception 08:57 Exploring the Concept of Relation vs. Relationships 10:07 The Five Levels of Relation 13:19 Managing Relation in Organizations 17:29 The Shift to the Heart Economy 20:00 Insights from the Book 'You and We' 27:00 Proximity vs. Closeness in Remote Work 29:08 The Power of Hydrogen and Oxygen 29:46 Remote vs. In-Person Work Dynamics 32:14 The Importance of Connectivity in Teams 33:14 Understanding Relational Space 34:35 Personal Stories of Relation 37:48 How Can We Discern Where We Are in the Levels?

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers sits down with Ema Roloff of Roloff Consulting for a deep dive into modern digital marketing for the insurance industry. They discuss the critical shift from traditional sales tactics to building trust through educational content, a strategy Ema calls the “Favorite Teacher Framework.” The conversation tackles the biggest hurdles for agents to talk about and lack of time—and offers practical solutions for creating a sustainable content engine. They also explore the right and wrong ways to leverage AI, the trap of vanity metrics, and why authenticity is the most important currency in today's digital landscape. Key Highlights: The Favorite Teacher Framework Ema Roloff explains her core philosophy, which is rooted in her past as a high school teacher. The framework encourages agents to step out of a boastful, sales-focused mindset and into the role of an educator. By consistently providing value and teaching your audience, you build trust at scale, which has become the foundation of modern sales and marketing. Overcoming Content Creation Excuses David and Ema dismantle the two most common excuses for not creating content: “I don't have time” and “What do I talk about?” They argue it's an issue of priority, not time, and offer the simple advice to “start” and “don't stop.” They share practical tips, like recording daily client calls and internal conversations, to generate an endless supply of real-world, valuable content ideas. Authenticity in the Age of AI As AI makes it easier to produce generic content, a genuine human voice is more valuable than ever. The conversation stresses that being the same person online as you are in person is the ultimate trust-builder. The goal isn't to appeal to everyone; it's to be yourself and let the right audience find you, which means being okay when people unsubscribe or unfollow. Vanity Metrics vs. Meaningful Engagement This segment addresses the common mistake of chasing likes and impressions. Ema and David explain that the goal isn't millions of views, but reaching the right few hundred people. They discuss the power of “dark social”—the vast audience that consumes your content without ever publicly engaging—and emphasize that the true measure of success is the business opportunities your content generates, not its viral potential. Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch David shares his sophisticated workflow for using AI as an organizational powerhouse, not a content writer. He explains how he uses it to transcribe and summarize community calls, pull key quotes, create blog post outlines, and even structure entire training courses. The key is leveraging technology to accelerate your process while ensuring your human expertise and authentic voice remain the core of the final product.

Think sweating more = better results? Or that lifting will make you “too bulky”? You're not alone. If you've ever felt like your body's either “too much” or “not enough,” or struggled to balance training for aesthetics with training for strength, this episode is a must-listen.I sat down with Emily Duncan, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and host of EmBody Radio, to talk about what women are really up against when it comes to body image, fitness trends, and self-trust.We unpack why “bulky” is one of the biggest myths in fitness, how to separate discipline from obsession, and why balance is overrated (and harmony is where the real results happen). We also talk about why motivation is never enough on its own, and the systems we can use to stay consistent without burning out.Emily Duncan is a fitness coach, entrepreneur, and podcast host who has been creating online for over 12 years. Starting her journey in competitive bodybuilding, she now helps women move beyond quick fixes and body trends to build lasting strength, confidence, and self-trust.We Also Discuss:00:00 – Body Image, Ballet to Bodybuilding: Emily's Evolution08:09 – Beyond Trends: Redefining Balance and Harmony17:53 – Why Women Compete (and How to Truly Support Each Other)22:03 – Strength, Curves, and Owning Your Power31:37 – Discipline vs. Obsession: Building Resilience That Lasts39:54 – Coaching That Goes Deeper Than Reps & Macros46:21 – Motivation Is Overrated: Build Systems That Stick56:00 – Joy, Self-Care, and Finding Confidence Outside the GymThank You to Our Sponsors:Broads 1:1 – Ready to ditch the bullshit and start feeling good in your body?

Send us a textWhat version of yourself do you bring to work? To family gatherings? To your closest relationships? For many of us, these questions reveal uncomfortable truths about the different masks we wear throughout our lives.We don't put on these masks with malicious intent. They emerge from our deepest fears—fear of rejection, fear of inadequacy, fear that our authentic selves simply won't be enough. But what begins as self-protection gradually transforms into self-imprisonment. The exhaustion of juggling different personas, remembering which version of yourself you've shown to whom, and constantly monitoring your own behavior creates a crushing weight that few can sustain.The most revealing insight comes when we examine what bothers us in others. That colleague whose arrogance drives you crazy? That friend whose neediness feels suffocating? These triggers often reflect disowned aspects of ourselves—mirrors we'd rather not look into. Taking personal responsibility means asking the harder question: "What's my part in this dynamic?" The reflection may be uncomfortable, but it's where true growth begins.Freedom arrives when we commit to authenticity. One face. One truth. Just you. People intuitively sense incongruence between what you say and who you truly are, even if they can't articulate exactly what feels "off." Consistency builds trust far more effectively than perfection ever could. This week, try having just one honest conversation—with your spouse, your boss, or perhaps most importantly, with yourself. Take off just one mask and notice how much easier it becomes to breathe.

The Cracker Barrel Logo change recently to a plain, minimalistic design caused a massive uproar all over social media and tv. There's 3 big lessons small business owners can learn so you never have to upset your customers this way.

Brett Blanchard, an incredible Ninja and top-producing agent from Louisiana, joins host Eric Thompson today to share three powerful, game-changing takeaways that have transformed his business and his mindset in the last year. Together, they dive into the simple yet profound strategies for earning what you are worth, overcoming burnout by rediscovering the fun in your work, and adapting your networking strategy when life inevitably changes.  Eric and Brett pull back the curtain on how a single change in mindset and language can lead to a 20% increase in your fee per transaction. They explore the creative and authentic ways Brett found new "flow" and client connections in unexpected places after a personal lifestyle change altered his daily routines. Brett goes on to explain how he pinpointed the administrative tasks that were draining his energy and made the decision to outsource them, a move that was funded by his increased commission and ultimately reignited his passion for the business. Listen in now to this practical and inspiring blueprint for building a more profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable real estate business. Episode Highlights: Confidently ask for the commission you deserve to increase your income. Clients will recognize your value only after you recognize it yourself. Delegate energy-draining administrative tasks to avoid burnout and focus on what you love. Reinvest your higher earnings into support systems that create more joy and profit. Evolve your networking strategies as your personal life and routines change. Find new, authentic places to connect with people that align with your interests. Authenticity is the magnet that attracts your ideal clients and your tribe. If you feel stuck or unhappy, talk to a coach or mentor to find a solution. Key Takeaways: "You literally just ask for it. You just ask for it. You are worth it. You are already doing the work."  "When you show your worth, you will get it, which we already show our worth." "You believe that you are worth it. And that is where it starts. It is always mindset, then skillset, then action." "Price your offering appropriately for who you are for." "I have just found a flow in a totally different direction... When your routine changes and your life changes, your flow kind of naturally has to change." "You just figure it out and you just start doing things you like, and the business comes from seeing those people while you are doing something you like." "If you feel something, say something, too. Let somebody know." "It just feels good to get paid what we feel like we are worth." "Just be yourself. Nobody really actually cares."

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with actress, producer, and entrepreneur Tika Sumpter for a candid conversation on redefining beauty, navigating motherhood, and a first look at building her new brand, Yummy Tummy. Known for her powerful presence on screen, Tika opens up about her creative journey beyond Hollywood and the drive that pushed her into wellness and entrepreneurship.Tika shares how her upbringing shaped her ideas of beauty and confidence, grounding her in authenticity rather than Hollywood's narrow ideals. She reflects on how social media often presents only the “highlight reel,” reminding us that true beauty is rooted in health, self-acceptance, and evolution rather than perfection.Motherhood also plays a central role in Tika's story.

On this episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Luis (Lou) Green about his path from a decade in e-commerce to partnering in Arbet Group and spinning up Arbet Capital Partners to lead the firm's capital division. They dig into why a separate capital arm enables feeder funds/SPVs and broader allocation for LPs, supported by communities like Family Office Club. Luis shares specific, high-touch outbound tactics—PERE-sourced lists, trigger-based calls, and creative “guerrilla” touches—to build institutional pipelines and keep investor relations centralized. Luis closes with a trust-first sales framework and the importance of systems, noting current initiatives like a $50M condo-conversion raise.
