The Harder You Work, The Luckier You'll Be | Episode 518 | Jeff Renevier | #BeDistinctiveYou may have heard that it is better to be lucky than it is to be good. While that may be true, luck comes most often to those who put themselves in a position to receive it. The story of Gupp is a perfect example - hear it from Jeff Renevier in today's Mindset Monday edition of The Distinctive Agent Show!
Today, we're doing things a bit differently. We have a solo episode where I share the biggest things that I've been afraid to speak about publicly and share with different people in my life. Now these aren't a few small things. These are some real hard areas that I've struggled with and have had difficulty sharing out of fear of judgement, shame, and just discomfort. But these are things that could serve as connection points with other people going through similar things. I hope by sharing these stories and truths, you'd also be encouraged to identify those parts of your lives that you've been afraid to share with others and dare to start breaking down walls in order to build meaningful connections at work, at home, in your company and in love. In this episode, you'll find out about the things I've been afraid to discuss including: Imposter syndrome Confidence and self-esteem Money issues Failed relationships Links and Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Episode 23: If You Can Be an Expert at Something, What Would it Be?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by coach and community builder, Nailah Blades Wylie. Nailah is the CEO of Color Outside, a curated travel company for ambitious women of color who are ready to create unapologetic, soul stirring lives through outdoor adventure. She started Color Outside as a safe place for women of color to come together and unlock where they're feeling stuck so that they can fully step into their joy and shine. When she's not leading adventure retreats or consulting with brands you can find Nailah hiking with her husband or playing intense games of hide-n-go seek with her two tiny kids. I have known Nailah for many years now — since we were both “young female entrepreneurs” in LA — and every conversation I’ve had with her has been filled with wisdom and insight that I want to immediately apply to my life. It was really an honor to have her on the show and to continue to learn from her. In today’s conversation, we talked about how she’s gotten comfortable with taking big leaps, how companies can do a better job creating more inclusive spaces for marginalized communities, and why it’s so important to her to get outside and help other women of color find joy doing the same. We also talk about: Her three-part framework for how to be a more inclusive brand Why decentering ourselves is the key to building better communities What having two kids and two companies has taught her about balancing the many requests for her time and energy Why now, maybe more than ever, it’s so important to keep dreaming . . . and so much more! I also want to note that we recorded this episode back on April 22nd. Had we had this conversation any time in the last three weeks, I have no doubt we would’ve talked about what’s going on in the world — and about how that’s impacted us individually, how that’s impacted the Black community, and why it just continues to highlight how important Nailah’s work is in the world. And, when I think about Nailah, I think about joy. I think about the joy she cultivates in her own life, I think about the joy she helps women of color find in the outdoors, I think about the joy she brings to the lives of the people who know her! I’m so grateful for this conversation, because everything we talk about — everything Nailah so graciously shares — is still so important to our current societal conversation. Thank you, as always, for listening. I hope you enjoy the show! — Follow Nailah: Website Instagram (Color Outside) Facebook (Color Outside) Instagram (Nailah Blades Wylie) Other Notable Links: Brave Enough to Be - Episode 1 She Is the Universe Brave Enough to Be - Episode 4 Writing Pad CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)
Big news on the podcast today: I’m taking a break! I’ve decided to take the month of April off from releasing new episodes, for a couple of reasons — all which I talk about in today’s episode, of course — but mostly because I needed more space. Yes, in this moment in time where I seemingly have more space in my life than I ever have before . . . I need more. I assumed when this all began — when we first found out that we were pretty much forced to stay inside and cut back on all of the activities we’d normally fill our lives with — that I would relish the opportunity to spend more time on my personal projects like this one; that I would fill that extra space with the opportunity to show up more, to work harder. But all that this extra space has shown me is how badly I want to pause; how much I need to take a step back and clear certain things from my life so that I am even more clear on what I want to put back into it. In today’s episode, I dive deeper into: Why forced pattern interrupt — like quarantining to stop the spread of a virus — can be a good thing How and when I first realized I needed a break Why it’s historically been so hard for me to stop doing something once I’ve started What I’ve learned about why taking a break — or stopping something altogether — can be so valuable Why this break isn’t just about resting for me, but about making room in my life What I plan to do while I’m not sharing new podcast episodes every week . . . and even more :) I promise this is not an April Fool’s Joke! It’s a much-needed pause and reset on this podcast that I love so dearly (and if you don’t believe me, I’ll remind you like 17 times in this episode). I’m excited for some time away and I’m excited for whatever’s next when this break is over! In the meantime, please stay connected by signing up for my weekly missives in the Sunday Night Newsletter! And if you have any feedback for me on how I can make this podcast even better for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out :) I’ll miss you this next month! I hope you stay safe, stay healthy, and I’ll talk to you again soon. -- Follow Me: Website Instagram Other Notable Links: Brave Enough to Be - Episode 16 Goodreads Karissa Kouchis Sunday Night Newsletter Enneagram CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Laura Gevanter. Laura Gevanter is a PSYCH-K® Facilitator, a Conscious Alignment intuitive Coach, a workshop leader, and retreat host. She has a Psychology degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Life Coaching certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching in New York City. And she has completed the Basic, Advanced and Health & Wellness PSYCH-K™ workshop trainings. Since 2006, she has been working with clients to become conscious of the interconnection between body, mind and soul. By examining the beliefs that may be limiting them, gaining clarity on what they want and then transforming those beliefs into supportive ones, many have experienced extraordinary results. Today Laura and I talk about what PSYCH-K is and the powerful transformational work that it’s used for; we talk about limiting beliefs — how to identify them and how to reprogram them; and we talk about the unique blend of science and spirituality that informs all of Laura’s work. We also talk about: How (and why) to get into a whole brain state while doing PSYCH-K The difference between Newtonian and Quantum physics — and how the latter explains more spiritual theories like the Law of Attraction How and why she uses muscle testing (in person and remotely) to determine whether a belief has truly been reprogrammed Why this work has made her so much more compassionate The sad reason that many people will live their whole lives without changing . . . and so much more. Laura’s work is fascinating and I am so excited to share our conversation with you — and hopefully, have my own PSYCH-K session soon too! — Follow Laura: Website Facebook Instagram Laura’s Podcast Other Notable Links: Brave Enough to Be Episode 3: Stephanie St. Claire PSYCH-K Centre International The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks Dr. Bruce Lipton Human Design CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kara Cutruzzula (rhymes with Methuselah). Kara is a writer in New York who works across many different creative platforms. As a journalist, she's been a writer and editor for The Daily Beast, Newsweek, Billboard, Tasting Table, and MONEY magazine. Her writing about work, productivity, and creativity has been featured in the New York Times, TIME, Medium, and other publications. She also writes plays and lyrics for musical theater, and is currently a member of the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. For the past three years, she's written a weekday newsletter called Brass Ring Daily, which exists to encourage people to work on their own creative projects. And her motivational journal called Do It For Yourself, a collaboration with designer Tessa Forrest, will be published in September by Abrams Noterie and is available for pre-order now! Today Kara and I talk about how to listen (and commit) to your creative urges and how creative constraints actually give us more freedom. We talk about how she found her way to writing when she never considered that path as a kid and why she loves musical theater (as an audience member and a creator). We also talk about: Why she started Brass Ring Daily, her newsletter that Lifehacker called “a life coach in your inbox” — and why she decided to send it out every single weekday The behind the scenes on how she finds and creates the content that helps her get newsletter out every day The linear but lengthy way she climbs the steps of the ladder toward a new creative pursuit What she does with all of her creative ideas to ensure they move beyond the idea stage (or make their way out of her head) . . . and so much more. Kara’s writing and work has brought so much joy and inspiration to my creative life, and I’m really excited to share our conversation knowing it will likely bring the same to yours! — Follow Kara: Website Twitter Instagram Brass Ring Daily Newsletter Do It For Yourself: A Motivational Journal Other Notable Links: Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams Open Book by Jessica Simpson Sunday Night Newsletter Brave Enough to Be Episode 5: Erin Claire Jones Evernote CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lisa Governo-Hurd. Lisa is a retired LAPD Police Detective, a wife, a sister, a friend, and a mother to two wonderful children — one of whom is me :) Today my mom and I talk about what it was like being a single mother in her early twenties, how she parented two very different children in a way that allowed us both to develop into our own people, and why she believes that parents shouldn’t demand respect from their children. We talk about the intuitive way she found the perfect professional path for her, the importance of bringing empathy to your job — and to all of your interactions, and the value of consistency in your work and in your life. We also talk about: The role her childhood played in shaping the mother and professional that she became Why she believes she developed such close relationships with my brother and me What she wants people to know about police officers and how she feels police officers should approach the work that they do What women often uniquely bring to their roles in law enforcement What the next phase of her life looks like after 30+ years in the same career and raising children Who her favorite kid is ;) The big, brave step I didn’t even know she wanted to take! . . . and so much more. Though I often fangirl over the woman I am lucky enough to call my mother, our conversation reminded me of how truly thoughtful, empathetic, and inspiring she is. I have learned SO much from her over the course of my life, and I continued to learn about her and from her in this conversation. I hope you find as much value in our conversation — and in our relationship to each other — as I have throughout my life. — Other Notable Links: Brave Enough to Be Episode 11: Jessica Ciencin Henriquez CREDITS Editing & Sound Engineering: Jordan Johansen Music: “Kenton” by Dr Crosby (Licensed via Marmoset)
Welcome to the second solo episode of Brave Enough to Be! On today’s episode, I’m sharing what I originally thought this episode would be about — why I’ve been so resistant to wearing my hair in it’s naturally, wildly curly state — and then, dive deeper into what’s underneath that resistance instead. Beyond that, I talk about the reasons underneath why we do anything that no longer feels good to us (or don’t do the things that do feel good). Throughout the episode, I share: Why it’s so important to dig deep into the places where we’re resistant, afraid, or simply feel stuck How to start looking underneath and identifying the benefits, beliefs, and negative stories that we’re telling ourselves — and start telling some new ones Why it’s so hard to dig deeper and where you can start looking today . . . and lots more!
