If you've ever felt like you “just weren't born a good communicator,” I want to stop you right there. Most of us are not born with these skills, instead we learn them, often the hard way. I know, because when someone asked me at my book launch, “Where did you learn to communicate?” I blanked and said I was “just born with it.” The truth? Communication is something I studied, practiced, and worked at for years. In this solo episode, I walk you through the communication tools that changed everything for me. These skills didn't save my marriage, but they did save my divorce. They made co-parenting possible (because he'd learned these skills too), built the foundation for healthier friendships and relationships, and became the backbone of the work I do with my clients. This isn't about becoming perfect or never messing up, it's about learning how to really listen, how to be heard, and how to create connection instead of disconnection. And yes, it's a practice. In this episode, I share: How I learned communication skills the hard way Why Imago therapy can be a useful communication model, but not a solution for abuse The power of listening for feelings underneath words, not just the words themselves How feedback loops, timing, and permission are key to being heard Why I-statements, mirroring, and empathy create deeper connections in every kind of relationship ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

Last month I celebrated my 59th. It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe. These aren't just books I enjoyed. They are turning points that literally changed how I live. Some helped me become a better teacher, others taught me discipline and financial independence, and a few opened up my sense of purpose. Here's the list in the same order I cover them, with a personal note on why each mattered to me. Mindset, Self-Discovery Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson I stumbled into this book in 1997 after literally knocking over a stack of them in Barnes & Noble. It sparked my lifelong love of self-help. Its short chapters and practical reminders taught me to let go of stress and focus on what actually matters, which helped me lead my teams (and my life) with a clearer head. You'll See It When You Believe It, Wayne Dyer This is the book I've re-read more than any other, sometimes daily for weeks at a time. Dyer's lessons on manifestation and the “seven attachments” helped me release ego, control, and the need to be right, which created more peace and focus in every area of my life. Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert Gilbert proves we're never as happy or as sad as we think we'll be, because we can't fully predict our future selves. This freed me from chasing perfection and helped me embrace the journey, knowing joy comes more from growth than from reaching the finish line. Storytelling, Career Transformation Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath A dearly-departed friend gifted me this book in December 2007, and it completely changed how I thought about communication. Its framework for making ideas memorable became the foundation of my Interview Intervention methodology, and eventually the blueprint for the storytelling systems I still teach today. Interview Intervention, Yours Truly I wrote this book in just five weeks at the end of 2011, and it completely transformed my career. For the first time, I captured years of coaching into a system anyone could use, and that was the first official step that turned me from recruiter to teacher to author. Choice, Goals, Perspective  This Is Water, David Foster Wallace This slim book, adapted from a 2005 commencement speech, is one of the most powerful I've read. Wallace's simple but profound message, that you can choose what to think about, has reshaped how I approach daily life, teaching me to stay present and compassionate in the middle of life's noise. It also served at the stimulation for the next book on this list. Out of Reach But in Sight, Me Again Born from a keynote I gave to scholarship students, I turned the speech into a book. Capturing timeless lessons on setting and pursuing goals, it later evolved into my Goal Setting Masterclass and proved how small steps can inspire big transformations. Wealth, Health The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko At 30, this book confirmed that wealth is built through discipline, not high income. It cemented my lifelong approach of living below my means, investing early, and building habits that would later help me achieve financial independence and peace of mind. Good Energy, Casey Means Of the 70+ health books I've read, this one had the most immediate impact on my life. Understanding metabolic health and cutting refined sugars, refined grains, and seed oils gave me more energy, clarity, and resilience than I thought possible. I've felt sharper and healthier ever since. My Life's Work, Beyond  The Zebra Code, The New Me This is my most ambitious book, and easily the toughest project I've ever taken on. It demanded every ounce of experience, discipline, and creativity I had, but it also gave me the chance to share the full methodology I believe can help any professional thrive. Journey of Souls, Michael Newton This book opened my mind to ideas about past and future lives, whether you take them literally or not. It gave me a new lens for thinking about purpose, why I might be wired the way I am, and how being open to bigger questions can deepen the way you live today. These aren't just books on a shelf. They're turning points in my story. Please add any of these to your own shelf that speak to you. Maybe they can be turning points in your story too!

Today, Ceri talks about the one skill that completely changed her life. Not a new app, not a productivity hack, but negotiation. As a recovering people-pleaser, Ceri used to dread negotiating with challenging people. She´d avoid it, overgive, or undercharge. When Ceri faced a challenging experience with a narcissist that nearly overwhelmed her, she learned from negotiation expert Kwame Christian. Since then, negotiation has empowered her to get paid fairly, build healthier collaborations, and stand her ground—even in tough situations. Whether you're selling a piece of work, applying for a commission, or setting the terms for a group show—you are negotiating. So, let Ceri get you ready to do it with confidence and care. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before negotiating know what you want and why, learn about who you're negotiating with, and acknowledge your feelings. Preparation is crucial—ask yourself questions to clarify goals, needs, and possible barriers. Research the other person. Stick to your values and boundaries. BEST MOMENTS “Negotiation has become a superpower. It´s helped me get paid properly, build healthier collaborations and feel more grounded even in tricky situations.” “No is not failure. Your time, energy and sanity have got value, and sometimes walking away is the wisest decision.” “Practice makes powerful. Practice your negotiation skills in low-risk settings first.” EPISODE RESOURCES Kwame Christian - https://negotiateanything.com HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events. She sold artworks to major museums and private collectors and commissioned thousands of works across diverse media, from renowned artists such as John Akomfrah, Pipilotti Rist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer and Vito Acconci. Now, she wants to share her extensive knowledge with you, so you can excel and achieve your goals. ** The Artist Mastermind Circle: Ready to stop second-guessing and start building momentum in your art career?

Steve Fusco grew up in Connecticut, raised by a single mom and a solid support system—but teenage trouble sent him to military school. In college, experimentation turned into using and selling drugs, a slide into addiction, and multiple arrests. After failing to get clean, Steve was sentenced to 2 years in Connecticut state prison—the wake-up call that changed everything. Inside, he rebuilt from the ground up. Today he's sober, a successful business owner, and on a mission to show what redemption really looks like. #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #RedemptionStory #PrisonStories #SecondChances #TrueCrime #EntrepreneurLife #connecticut Connect with Steve Fusco: http://Rejoicerestore.com Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Guest Background 02:10 Childhood, Family, and Early Influences 05:52 School Years and Beginning of Trouble 09:08 Military School and College Aspirations 13:13 College Years and Exposure to Drugs 18:14 Path to Addiction & Early Drug Dealing 24:02 Addiction, Career Attempts & Downward Spiral 30:37 Peak Drug Dealing & Double Life 37:15 Cycles of Recovery, Addiction, and Jail 42:08 Rock Bottom: Prison and the Wake-Up Call 46:44 Life Inside Prison and Rebuilding 51:20 Programs, Hope, and New Mindsets 01:00:46 Reentry: Starting Over and Business Journey 01:07:02 Finding Purpose: Relationships and Faith 01:10:53 Servant Leadership & Uplifting Others 01:13:03 Advice, Reflection & Closing Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

The right answer is never the fun answer. Over the years of this podcast we've always said - you must choose consistent, daily creative work over the allure of virality. Jami Attenberg is evidence that it works. She uses writing to explore other worlds and connect with a wider audience but it's her consistency that has made the difference. In this episode you'll learn how an accountability pact with a friend, turned into tweet which grew into "1000 Words of Summer". A project, which now has a global community of over 50,000 people, helping countless individuals finish projects and even secure book deals. Jamie emphasises that true success comes from relentless dedication and self-accountability, not waiting for external permission or allowing projects to "abandon ship". If you can commit to 1000 words a day, your life could change.I'm so excited to share this episode with the powerhouse Jami Attenberg, with you all!Let me know what you think :)Jami's substack - Website - https://www.jamiattenberg.com/1000wordsInsta - https://www.instagram.com/jamiattenberg/ To hear more, visit creativerebels.substack.com

Can one career decision truly change your life forever? In this episode of "Sold in 60," Vic Money the Truth shares his incredible journey from living at home with no car to owning a dream house, building a thriving career, and funding his passions—all thanks to timeshare sales.

Fifteen years ago, I was in crisis.  My marriage was ending, my health was unraveling, and my corporate career felt like a soul-deadening trap.  From the outside though, my life looked fine—but inside, I knew something was deeply missing. Everything changed the moment a coach asked me one simple question that shook my entire world.  In this week's solo episode, I share the exact question, the before-and-after of my transformation, and how the power of coaching can shift your entire life. That question cracked open the doorway to my Higher Self and set me on a path I never could have imagined—becoming a coach myself, teaching at Georgetown University, and helping hundreds step into their soul's deepest calling. If your soul is whispering that it's time for something more, maybe this is your sign. I also share about Cohort (lucky) 13 of the Intuitive Life Designer® Coach Academy—a certification program that is so much more than training. It's a portal into your highest self, your intuition, and your purpose,✨ May you always have the courage to follow your innermost divine guidance — wherever it leads.   Takeaways The question that changed my life was pivotal. Living a life that's just 'fine' is not enough. Abundance comes in many forms, not just financial. A spiritually transformative experience can shift your perspective. You can't unknow what you know about your life. The power of questions can lead to profound insights. Trusting your intuition is essential for personal growth. Embracing change can lead to new beginnings. Appreciation can transform your current situation. Your higher self guides you towards your true path.   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Join Julie Reisler weekly, podcast host, intuitive coach, author, and multi-time TEDx speaker, each week to learn how to access your spiritual gifts and inner guidance to be your You-est You® and achieve greater inner peace, spiritual connection, happiness, and abundance.

Everybody loves to brag about their wins, but nobody talks about the failures that actually build you. In this raw episode, I'm sharing 3 of my biggest failure: the ones that knocked me flat, broke my confidence, and forced me to rebuild. From letting my surroundings define me, to waiting for life to just “happen,” to pouring my energy into all the wrong people and rooms. These failures hurt, but they also shaped everything I am today.

Isn't it crazy how when you least expect it, you can be exposed to something that radically changes your life?   At the end of December, I was in a season of burnout, holiday overwhelm, and health scares... and then in January, I went to Austin, Texas, for work, and it changed everything.   Today I am talking about how what I thought was going to be a normal "business trip" actually changed my mental health, physical health and way I manage my entire life.   This one act of obedience in my life has powerfully changed me for the better this year, and I believe what I experienced is the thing everyone needs for a better life.

A few months ago, I received a DM that absolutely made my day. The message was from an incredible human named Sophie Griffiths and I couldn't wait to have her on the podcast to share her story.Sophie bought the Mastermind Model course in 2024 and has since turned her business around to bring in consistent $16k months with an 85% retention rate. Even more incredible, the business brings her joy and has completely changed her whole family dynamic for the better.With just a few thousand followers on social media, Sophie's story proves you don't need a massive audience to build something extraordinary, just the right strategy and genuine commitment to serving your people well.Sophie's path wasn't linear, and honestly, that's what makes her story so relatable. Starting from post-redundancy uncertainty while on maternity leave, she explored everything from social media management to membership programs, constantly searching for what would be both profitable and fulfilling.Despite hitting financial milestones, she felt like something was missing. The loneliness of working in ads management without the rich human connection she craved left her questioning her approach. Sure, she'd built a successful business on paper, but it wasn't lighting her up the way she'd hoped.This realisation led her to a crucial turning point. She longed for a business model that integrated her love for community with her strategic expertise. That's when she discovered the Mastermind Model—and everything changed.Connect with Sophie Griffiths:Website: https://sophiegriffiths.co/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sophiegriffithscoPodcast: Lion Hearted CEOConnect with Ellie: Sign up for my FREE 3 day training Build, Fill & Scale a Mastermind hereApply for the Scalable Freedom Mastermind hereFREE Private Podcast “Inside a 7-Figure Mastermind Business” hereWebsite:         https://www.ellieswift.com/Instagram:     @elliehswiftFacebook Group:     www.facebook.com/groups/shineonsocialellieswift/

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Pyramid Schedule That Changed My Life Forever August 14, 2025 | Episode 5159 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott's fired up and sharing his game-changing pyramid scheduling system that flips traditional time management on its head. Forget working five days a week like everyone else. Scott reveals how he structures his work week around energy peaks and valleys, working his tail off Tuesday through Thursday while keeping Mondays and Fridays free. This isn't some fluffy productivity hack – it's a complete restructuring of how you think about work and life. But fair warning: this schedule is for the privileged few who've earned it, and getting there requires life-changing decisions that'll scare the hell out of you. Featured Story Scott breaks down his revolutionary pyramid scheduling approach that has transformed his life and business over 24 years. He works peak energy on Wednesday with back-to-back coaching calls, uses Mondays for projects and business development, and keeps Fridays as optional "entrepreneurial days." The system extends beyond weekly planning – he flips the pyramid for daily focus (starting with deep work, broadening to less important tasks) and even applies pyramid thinking to annual planning. His clients all want this schedule, and Scott typically gets them there within 12-18 months of restructuring their business and life. Important Points You can't manage time, but you can absolutely manage your energy throughout the week by structuring work around your natural peaks and valleys. The pyramid system works on multiple levels – weekly scheduling, daily focus, and annual planning – creating a complete framework for maximum productivity. This lifestyle requires major life changes and isn't achievable for everyone immediately, but the energy management principles can be applied regardless of your current work situation. Memorable Quotes "I don't believe you can manage time. I know I can't. Every single day, it's like the same amount." "You cannot talk me out of my schedule. If I don't have you planned on my schedule and you don't have a very close relationship with me or you're not a client and it's not a red alert phone call, you're not going to hear from me." "I'm going to face my passion. I don't care what's in the way. I'm going to do it because otherwise I'm a wuss." Scott's Three-Step Approach Map out your current energy patterns throughout the week and identify when you naturally feel most focused and productive. Start implementing pyramid thinking by protecting your peak energy days for your most important work and using low-energy times for admin and planning. Begin restructuring your business and life to support this energy-based schedule, understanding it may take 12-18 months to fully achieve.

I'm so excited to launch into a new season with you this fall!We wrapped up our Legacy of Faith series, and I felt led to take a little break for the first time since starting the podcast. I mean, I've taken time off at Christmas in the past, but as a mom to three little boys, we all know Christmas isn't a break. I did this as part of practicing what I preach. In my reallife, I've said 100 times, it doesn't matter how hard you run, if you're running the wrong direction, you're not going to get anywhere. I realized at the end of 2024 that I was running hard without knowing the direction. I was just jumping from topic to topic… they were all great topics, but I wanted to be more intentional to grow your faith deeper (let's bets be honest my faith too, because my faith has grown so much from these conversations with mentors). ⁠More info about Around the Ancient World HERE!!⁠You can find Elizabeth writing helpful hints ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the blog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helping you love Jesus and disciple your kids ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or get access to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Additional study resources here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Original Music written and recorded by Jonathan Camenisch *affiliate links are used when appropriate.
