“There's never a perfect time. Just begin.” In this episode of The RebelRebel Podcast, host Michael Dargie welcomes Steven Foster, the founder of One Golden Nugget, to share his remarkable journey through entrepreneurship, personal struggle, and self-discovery. From sleeping in his office during lockdown to creating a global platform that collects and shares wisdom nuggets, Steven's story is as inspiring as it is humbling. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Steven takes listeners back to his early days when his entrepreneurial spirit first sparked. He started by replicating cassette tapes for dance music enthusiasts in the UK, which quickly scaled into a million-dollar business. His journey then veered into the world of music promotion and large-scale dance events, before crashing into bankruptcy. From there, Steven reinvented himself as a songwriter, securing deals with Universal Music and collaborating with major artists. Yet, the rollercoaster continued—his ventures in digital marketing agencies followed a similar pattern of rapid growth and collapse. At his lowest point—broke and living in his office during the pandemic—Steven had an idea: to collect and share people's most valuable pieces of wisdom. Thus, One Golden Nugget was born. What started as a personal project turned into a life-changing platform, transforming both Steven's life and the lives of those who shared their insights. Throughout the conversation, Steven emphasizes the power of kindness, slowing down, and trusting the journey. He stresses the importance of niching down, taking massive action, and embracing failure as part of the entrepreneurial adventure. He shares his belief that true happiness is rooted in kindness, and that the greatest gift is simply waking up each day. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a “rebel in waiting,” Steven's story will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and a pocket full of golden nuggets. Cool Things Steven Says “Kindness is the route to happiness.” “Don't boil the ocean. Find your niche and own it.”  “There's never a perfect time. Just begin.”  “You have nothing to lose.” “Be the love—in everything you do.”  Episode Highlights Steven's early days: cassette tape duplication turned million-dollar business.  The rise and fall of Dreamscape, his large-scale dance music events company. His time as a cleaner, learning humility after losing everything. Transition into songwriting, working with Pop Idol and X Factor contestants. The birth of One Golden Nugget during the COVID-19 lockdown. The power of kindness and faith as drivers for success. “Don't rush; there's no destination.” Why niching down is key to sustainable business. Bikram hot yoga as a life-changing practice. The importance of clean eating for sustained energy. The gift of simply waking up each day.

Bikram Yoga ist eine Hatha-Yoga-Methode und wurde von dem indischen Yogameister Bikram Chowdhury verbreitet.

Let me take you to India at the end of 2015.  I'd been traveling the world for several years, teaching and practicing Bikram Hot Yoga and living with a secret. The tension and pain in my body had become chronic and unmanageable and I was searching for answers. I felt frustrated and ashamed to be in so much pain as a yogi, a teacher who was supposed to be helping others in healing their bodies.  I hoped, in India I would find the magic teacher, the magic pose that would heal me.  What I found was a NEW way of experiencing yoga and my body. A far more somatic approach than I had ever known before. I began to realize how disconnected I was from a very important and yet triggering part of my body: my belly.  This is one my stories of somatic awakening, wherein I discover some deep unconscious patterns in my body and become deeply motivated to transform them.  In western culture, there has been a long-held perception that our bellies should flat, hard, tight, strong. Even within the yoga world you will find a focus and emphasis on having a strong core. Additionally, humans contract their stomaches automatically when stressed, in fear or sadness. Like a dog tucking it's tail under. We sometimes forget that belly and our breathing are fundamentally connected. We forget it's the home of our digestive processes and our microbiome. We can get so focused on the outside and meanwhile so much is taking place inside. 99% of it UNCONSCIOUS.  Why have we become so obsessed with these external markers of strength in this area of our bodies? And what does it really mean to have a strong core? Is it rigidity or is it dynamic function? Had I been using tight yoga pants and mirrors to feel safe and compensate for a lack of proprioceptive awareness?  Answers to these questions and much much more as I take you on a tour of India and my internal process 7 years ago.   To learn more about me, The Radiance Program and Hanna Somatic Education visit www.freeyoursoma.com or follow me on instagram @aimeetakaya --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aimee322/support

Detective Espinosa from the Amazon hit series, Bosch, sits one last time with host Kurt Caceres and breaks down exactly how she turned a one episode guest star on the show into a multi season recurring.  Jacqueline Pinol truly drops wisdom in regards to the audition process for actors and how you should always carry your "sides" into an audition. Well known casting director Rick Pagano once told Kurt, "Carry your sides into every audition until the day they hire you".  The time she was told "Can you Latina it up a little?", "Black lipstick and Red Nails should do".  And finally, she shares a hilarious recent Bikram Hot Yoga story that would only happen in Hollywood. https://www.provenanceroom.com/post/jacqueline-pinol

With Bikram once being the most popular hot yoga discipline, today it’s ingenious sequence and style has unfortunately been overshadowed by controversy in the Bikram community. Nonetheless, Hot Yoga can be an amazing addition to your personal yoga journey. I harp a bit too long on the importance of staying hydrated, but it’s one of those minor details that can completely hinder your practice and ultimately your experience.

064: Getting Hired by a Yoga Studio with Kristen Sweeney   Have you completed your yoga teacher training and are preparing yourself to look for employment? Shannon and Kristen Sweeney have your back with clear steps to getting hired by a yoga studio that, most importantly, is the right fit for you. It's the best gift you can give yourself, the studio, and your students.   Kristen Sweeney remembers the first yoga class that lit her up. She was a working as a dancer in Las Vegas, Nevada and tried a Bikram Hot Yoga class. She was “sweaty, drenched, exhausted, hooked, and exhilarated.” Later, as an actor living in New York city, she found yoga to be grounding, gave her a refuge and a sense of safety at a time when her life was hectic, outward facing, and approval seeking.   Kristen reached a point in her life when she wanted to find work that felt rewarding on a daily basis. That led her to teach yoga and share her insights on her blog. Finding a strong connection between herself and yoga teachers through her posts, she wondered if there was something more to explore. Kristen niched down further to create her business Edge of the Mat and is now a business coach for yoga teachers.   On today's episode, you will be guided through the steps to find the teaching job that is right for you. The steps will take you through a process to determine where you'd like to teach, how to approach the studio, what to expect when you audition and much more. Kristen has also kindly shared the PDF The Yogi's Guide to Teaching at a New Studio for when you've landed the job. You've got this and we wish you all the best in finding the work that lights you up!   07:30 How Kristen's yoga journey began   10:55 What led Kristen to write her blog Edge of the Mat and how she expanded it into a business   14:20 Was there a gradual realization or a light bulb moment that led her to clearly define her niche   16:50 Step-by-step process to approach studios   17:10 Step 1: Discern which studios you want to approach   If you research to find the studios that fit with you, you are more likely to get the job Important to be able to approach a variety of studios, gyms and community centers- are they close and easy to commute to? Does the community vibe match your style of teaching What is your ideal class size? What do you want in the experience of teaching? What studios fit you? Where would I like to work- be choosy and shift that mindset from desperation to personal choice Take a variety of classes at the locations to find a good fit 22:35 Step 2: Approach the teacher of the class you've been taking and approach them with a 2 to 3 sentence ‘pitch' or introduction including:   Thanking them for class and what you liked about it What you love about the studio and community Asking who would you connect with to set up an audition Leave resumé and consider including your resumé on your website   26:05 Step 3: Planning and Preparing for the audition   30:25 What to do if you don't hear back from the studio   Follow up- email Show up in person and take one of their classes Don't take it personally if you don't hear back, studios get many emails Sometimes it takes quite a while for to hear back- even months! Worth checking in a few months later (in person) to see if a spot has opened up Don't take it too personally and letting it breathe for a while   33:50 Tips and tricks for teachers auditioning   Prepare :) Detailed sequence planning Create class arc even if it's a short audition In a Round Robin, situation be prepared to change up your plan depending on your place in the class Structure gives you freedom Prepare yourself for your professional best- externally and internally so you show up as your best, most confident self   38:30 Step 4: Feedback   1:1 time with the studio manager Be open to feedback Feel free to engage and ask questions about the feedback so you can evolve as a yoga teacher   Step 5: Follow Up   Auditioner will hopefully let you know what the next steps are (repeat the instructions to make sure it's clear and follow up)   41:05 Step 6: Yes, no or Maybe   What is the next step if you get a “thanks but no thanks”        Possible reasons:   Missing self-awareness that misidentified the place as the right fit for you (move on) Studio felt as though you're not a good fit or that you're not quite ready skill-wise to join (check in again in the future)   43:30 Coming from a place of personal choice instead of a place of desperation   44:05 How you can work with Kristen   45:20 Shannon's wrap-up and action steps             Links   Email: kristen@edgeofthemat.com   Kristen's Website: Edge of the Mat   Edge of the Mat Facebook Group   Kristen on Instagram   PDF gift from Kristen: Yogi's Guide to Teaching at a New Studio   The Connected Teacher Facebook Group   Follow The Connected Teacher on Youtube   Book a Consultation Call with Shannon   Gratitude to our Sponsor Schedulicity
