Podcasts about being authentic

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU.

In turbulent times marked by economic volatility, environmental breakdowns, and widespread distrust, what we're experiencing may feel unprecedented—but we've been here before. And as Paul Polman reminds us in his milestone conversation with Carol Cone, we are not without a compass. Paul, the former CEO of Unilever, is one of today's most respected voices in sustainable leadership. He joined the 200th episode of Purpose 360 not to sugarcoat the challenges, but to ground us in enduring truths.Paul's insights are rooted both in strategy and humanity. He speaks of sustainability as the “heart of business,” where values like dignity, compassion, and the Golden Rule are guiding principles. He urges leaders to develop their own “inner core” to build resilient businesses but also resilient selves—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And he reminds us that real leadership today means moving from “human doings” back to human beings. Business, he says, must be structured to serve—anchored in long-term purpose and in solidarity with both people and planet.At its core, Paul's message to leaders and companies is both visionary and deeply grounded. He challenges companies to stop whispering behind closed doors and instead step forward together with clarity, courage, and moral conviction. The future, he believes, belongs to those who act with heart. And in a world that often feels fractured, Paul's voice is a steady reminder that it's our shared humanity—and our willingness to serve others—that will lead us through.Listen for key insights on why:“Soft” values are the most strategic and essentialBusiness must serve humanity (not the other way around)Successful leadership starts from withinSilence to political changes is not a neutral position Resources + Links:Paul Polman's LinkedInPaul Polman's WebsiteNet PositiveIMAGINEPaul's Reflection on the Passing of Pope Francis (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Episode 200 with Paul Polman (02:40) - About Paul (05:03) - Personal Purpose (07:20) - POV on What's Happening Today (10:15) - Optimistic Outlook (12:41) - Being Authentic to Values (14:19) - Pope Francis (17:15) - Leaders (21:21) - What to Do When Attacked on DEI or ESG (24:28) - Moving the Boundaries (27:23) - Role of Employees (28:36) - Conscious Quitting Results (30:04) - Role of Humanity (32:29) - Last Thoughts (34:46) - Wrap Up

Reed Diamond and Chuck Shute delve into the timeless appeal of Pixar movies, emphasizing the importance of a strong script. Reed shares his experiences working on "Drop," a thriller filmed in Ireland, highlighting the practical sets and collaborative environment. They also touch on the impact of tax incentives on film production, the evolution of live music experiences, and the importance of storytelling in acting, with anecdotes about working with notable actors and directors. Reed Diamond discusses his acting philosophy, emphasizing the importance of being in the moment and collaborating with fellow actors. He contrasts this with the competitive, cutthroat environment of "Homicide," where actors actively tried to undermine each other. Diamond admires strategic actors like Val Kilmer but prefers a more spontaneous, improvisational approach. He also reflects on the impact of social media and politics on society, advocating for authenticity, empathy, and local action. Diamond promotes his upcoming film "Drop," highlighting its intense, well-crafted narrative and the collaborative effort behind it.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:20 - Rankin/Bass, Claymation & Kids Movies 0:04:45 - Movies from 70s/80s, Anora & Test of Time 0:11:25 - New "Drop" Film, Script, Production, Casting & Location 0:22:10 - Cheaper to Film Outside of Los Angeles 0:25:22 - Statue of Liberty & New York Scene 0:30:45 - Music Scenes, Concerts & Punk Rock 0:38:28 - Working with Other Actors & Being Authentic 0:44:40 - Working on Homicide & Crazy Stories 0:51:03 - Smart Tricks, Being Difficult & Bad Behavior 0:55:40 - Val Kilmer & Cunning Strategy of Actors/Actresses 1:04:03 - Improvising Vs.

True authenticity isn't about finding a singular purpose—it's about embracing the impact you have on the world through your presence and actions. Explore how simply being—experiencing, growing, and adding value—creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond personal goals. Discover how movement, contribution, and self-awareness shape your essence and influence the world around you. The post Being Authentic with Your Essence of Being appeared first on Essence of Being.

In the space between your thoughts, there exists a hidden realm—unseen by the skeptic's eye, yet felt by those who dare to open their perception beyond the ordinary. It's the dimension where what most call "impossible" transforms into "inevitable." Have you ever noticed how some people seem blessed with financial fortune? Money appearing right when they need it? Opportunities emerging from nowhere? Abundance flowing to them with the same certainty as waves reaching the shore? This isn't luck. It isn't privilege. It's something far more fascinating—a forgotten magic that lives within you, dormant perhaps, but ready to awaken.What if I told you that the ancients understood something about wealth that modern financial experts have forgotten? That your words, when charged with the right energy, become incantations more powerful than any stock market strategy? That your imagination, when properly directed, becomes a portal through which money flows into your reality? The world's greatest secret isn't hidden in some dusty tome or whispered among elites. It's encoded in your very DNA—the ability to speak abundance into existence, to conjure prosperity from the ethers, to become a living, breathing money magnet. As you begin to watch, something remarkable will happen. The veil between ordinary financial reality and extraordinary money magic will thin. You'll begin to feel it—a subtle tingling perhaps, or a warming sensation—as your innate magical abilities reawaken. 

A Note from James I had such a great conversation with my good friend, Sun Yi on his podcast, called Authentic as F*ck, and I felt like I had to say the full name of the podcast because I wanna be authentic. Authenticity is complex, and being yourself isn't always straightforward. With friends, I'm different than when giving a talk or doing a podcast. But authenticity involves knowing who you are in different contexts and what you value. Sun Yi and I explored this in-depth, discussing why being truly authentic often means embracing controversy, taking risks with your content, and understanding that the truth of who you are can change based on the context. Episode Description James speaks with Sun Yi, host of Authentic as F*ck, about the nuances of personal branding, vulnerability, and authenticity. This candid conversation explores why true authenticity can lead to both rejection and opportunity, emphasizing the importance of publishing ideas that genuinely scare you. Listeners will learn why radical openness about successes and failures can be both costly and rewarding, and how traditional perspectives on success and failure often overlook essential lessons about humility and resilience. What You'll Learn: How authenticity can lead to controversy but also open new doors. Why publishing content that genuinely scares you is crucial for meaningful impact. The surprising benefits—and real costs—of being fully transparent about your experiences. How traditional ideas about success and failure can be misleading. Understanding the complexities behind creating content that truly resonates and why some content unexpectedly goes viral.

Season 3, Episode 34: Show Up and Be HeardAuthenticity has been a buzzword for a long time now - so much so that it's almost lost its meaning. It's been taken over by brands, turned into a sales trick, and used as a marketing tactic rather than a genuine way to connect. Which is why today, I'm claiming back the true meaning of authenticity and diving into how you can be yourself on social media, without feeling exposed, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to share.BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:how to navigate social media in a way that aligns with your valueshow to set boundarieshow to overcome the fear of and handle negative comments If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!CONNECT WITH BECCI:Connect with Becci on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookJoin Becci's email communityTIMESTAMPS TO HELP YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED:02:11 Reclaiming Authenticity07:19 Knowing Yourself and Your Values18:54 Understanding Your Audience21:34 Engagement Over Numbers25:34 Being Authentic in Real Life26:02 The Essence of Authenticity29:41 Building Trust Through Authentic Connections35:38 Navigating Boundaries in Authenticity40:12 Handling Negativity and Criticism48:07 Overcoming Hesitations in Self-ExpressionIF YOU LOVED THIS, YOU'LL ALSO LOVE:Social media made simple: a framework to reduce the overwhelmWhat does Social Media engagement really mean - and how to do itWhy people unfollow you and whether you should careHow to protect your time and energy on social media as a small business owner10 steps to create a social media strategy that works for your small business12 Instagram features that help you market your businessEverything you want to know about social media but are too afraid to askSUPPORT THE SHOW:If you love this podcast and would like to show your support and...

In this week's rerun episode I talk about letting go of other people's opinions. Caring about what others think is a natural part of being human, but I've learned to care a lot less than I used to. It's not about flipping off everyone else's opinions and solely focusing on yourself, I'm suggesting something different. It's about shifting the importance we give to others' opinions and prioritising our own self-perception.  Your opinion of yourself matters the most because you're the one living your life, nobody else. So, in this episode I am going to share a handful of things you can start doing to begin letting go of the fear of judgement from others.  You will learn about: Why other people's opinions have NOTHING to do with you What the ‘spotlight theory' is and how it can transform your confidence The reason embarrassing situations are “embarrassing” What other people's opinions are a projection of How to show up authentically and prioritise your opinion How you can truly break free from seeking approval and attract the right people into your life - If you are regularly tuning into the podcast and getting value from it, you can rate the show on Spotify or leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Week #30- Philippians 4:4 - Ep. 146 “Rejoice in the Lord always, Again I will say, Rejoice!” Summary In this conversation, John Grdina and Daniel Galasso discuss the importance of joy and celebration in the Christian life. They emphasize the need to be joyful and to rejoice in the Lord always. They highlight that joy is a key theme throughout the Bible and that it is the serious business of heaven. They also discuss the connection between joy, hope, and worship, and encourage listeners to focus on the promises of God and surround themselves with joyful people. They address the issue of bitterness and the importance of celebrating the joy and success of others. They conclude by emphasizing the contagious nature of cheerfulness and the importance of demonstrating joy in the family. Takeaways Joy is a central theme in the Bible and is the serious business of heaven. To experience joy, it is important to focus on the promises of God, surround yourself with joyful people, and worship God. Bitterness can hinder joy, so it is important to celebrate the joy and success of others. Cheerfulness is contagious, and it is important to demonstrate joy in the family.

I'm blessed and honored to have you with us on this journey, and I know it will impact people. So this book, you'll see I'll have it on the cover of each episode, was found at my grandparents' house after my grandmother died, and my grandfather, it was his, passed away almost five years ago. And the reason why it was on my heart to do this was instead of going by myself, it would be the best How is the best way for fathers or grandfathers to read through Scripture, 52 specific verses, and then how it can be used in their life? So what Daniel and I are going to do is we're going to use the SOAP method: The term "SOAP method" is often associated with a structured approach to studying and reflecting on scripture. The SOAP method is an acronym that stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. It provides a systematic way to engage with and apply the teachings found in the Bible. Here's a brief overview of each step: 1. **Scripture:**    - Choose a passage or verse from the Bible to focus on. Read and meditate on the selected scripture. 2. **Observation:**    - Reflect on the passage and observe details such as keywords, themes, and any significant context. Consider the historical and cultural context of the passage. 3. **Application:**    - Apply the teachings of the scripture to your own life. Consider how the passage can impact your beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Think about practical steps you can take based on the insights gained from the scripture. 4. **Prayer:**    - Conclude your reflection with a prayer. Communicate with God about what you've learned, express gratitude, seek guidance, or ask for strength to apply the lessons from the scripture.

Autism Identification Should Come with a Warning Label (Including Autistic Burnout)   There are things that happen to most autistic people once they identify as autistic, and there should be a warning label! If you're late diagnosed, and high masking, there's a good chance you are, or will be in autistic burnout. There's also skill regression, and not being able to push through anymore. This can be confusing and distressing. I bring you up to date on my health journey, and where I'm at with autistic burnout, and I provide a few resources.   HIGHLIGHTS Summary In this episode, Patricia provides a personal update on her health and discusses the challenges of identifying as autistic. She shares her experiences with navigating the healthcare system and dealing with health issues such as vestibular neuritis. Patricia also explores the impact of autistic burnout and trauma, as well as the need for positive male archetypes in her life. She discusses the lack of reciprocity in relationships and the importance of self-compassion and rest. Patricia concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace all parts of themselves and share the podcast with others. Autistic Burnout Autistic burnout is a phenomenon experienced by many individuals, characterized by extreme exhaustion, mental fatigue, and sensory overload. It often results from prolonged periods of masking, camouflaging, and trying to fit into neurotypical expectations, leading to a depletion of cognitive and emotional resources. Autistic burnout can manifest as difficulty in functioning, heightened sensory sensitivities, emotional meltdowns, and a sense of overwhelm. Recognizing the signs of autistic burnout is crucial for individuals to prioritize self-care, seek support, and make necessary adjustments to prevent further exhaustion. Strategies to manage autistic burnout may include setting boundaries, practicing sensory regulation techniques, engaging in self-soothing activities, and seeking therapy or counseling. Creating a supportive environment that accommodates sensory needs, communication preferences, and individual differences can help prevent and alleviate autistic burnout. Educating employers, educators, and healthcare providers about autistic burnout can lead to more inclusive and accommodating environments for autistic individuals. Understanding one's neurodivergent traits can help individuals recognize their limits, advocate for their needs, and navigate challenges related to autistic burnout. Building a support network of understanding friends, family members, therapists, and fellow neurodivergent individuals can provide emotional support and validation during periods of autistic burnout. Benefits of having an autism diagnosis (either self-diagnosis or formal diagnosis) for myself Self-identification and diagnosis in the autistic community are helpful in understanding one's unique neurodivergent traits and needs. It helps individuals access appropriate support, accommodations, and resources tailored to their specific differences and strengths. Self-identification empowers individuals to embrace their identity and connect with a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Diagnosis provides validation and a sense of relief for many individuals who have long struggled with feeling different or misunderstood. Understanding one's autism can lead to better self-awareness and self-acceptance, promoting mental well-being and confidence. It allows individuals to advocate for themselves in various settings, such as education, employment, and healthcare, ensuring their needs are met. Diagnosis can help individuals navigate social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and other aspects of daily life more effectively. Early diagnosis in children can lead to early intervention and support, improving long-term outcomes and quality of life. It helps dispel misconceptions and stigma surrounding autism, promoting acceptance and inclusion in society. Self-identification and diagnosis contribute to a more accurate representation of the diverse autistic community, highlighting the spectrum of experiences and challenges individuals may face.   Takeaways   Identifying as autistic can come with challenges and a range of emotions, including anger, grief, and frustration. Navigating the healthcare system can be difficult, especially when seeking a diagnosis or specialized care. Autistic burnout is a real phenomenon that can lead to skill regression and a decreased ability to function. Self-compassion and rest are essential for managing autistic burnout and maintaining overall well-being.   Chapters (please adjust for the addition of the introduction)   00:00 Introduction and Personal Update 01:15 The Challenges of Identifying as Autistic 02:08 Struggling with Health Issues 03:32 Navigating the Healthcare System 04:36 The Impact of Vestibular Neuritis 05:59 Autistic Burnout and Trauma 07:15 Grief and Anger in the Autism Journey 08:31 Childhood Experiences and Identity 09:50 The Need for Male Archetypes 11:19 Seeking Support and Advocacy 12:42 The Lack of Reciprocity in Relationships 13:54 Navigating Small World and Limited Energy 15:14 Accepting Where You Are 16:33 The Impact of Autism Diagnosis 17:54 The Complexity of Autism Presentation 19:46 The Validity of Self-Diagnosis 20:21 The Illusion of Neurotypical Functioning 21:31 Embracing Autism as a Disability 22:35 Understanding Autistic Burnout 23:46 The Impact of Medical Appointments 25:17 The Harsh Inner Critic and Self-Compassion 26:12 Fear of Not Functioning 27:05 The Lack of Recognition for Autistic Experiences 28:11 Observing Reciprocity in Relationships 29:07 The Importance of Rest and Self-Care 30:00 The Impact of Autistic Burnout on Work 31:06 Embracing All Parts of Yourself 32:20 Conclusion and Call to Share the Podcast Additional Takeaways Seek consent and ask for permission before sharing personal reactions or opinions in conversations.

Getting from Here to There When You've Lost Your Routine   How do you get back in a groove after you've gotten out of it? We often assume we can jump back in, but sometimes it's harder than that.
