Episode 8 - DB and I discuss how Reflecting, remembering, reconnecting and rebooting can help anyone create purpose in their life. After his second divorce and being diagnosed with Kidney disease, DB realized he needed to find meaning and purpose in his life. He found the 4 actions needed to have appreciation and move forward. Now his pursuit of love inspires others to find the same appreciation in their lives. __________________________________________________________________Speaker:DB MarshallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovespursuitatlLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dammeon-marshall-812860188/https://lovespursuitatl.netRyan ShekellLinkedIn: www.ryanshekell.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanshekell/___________________________________________________________________Show Notes00:00 Intro – About the book Love Pursuit by DB Marshall 01:27 Love yourself “Came about, you know, one day I was sitting down in my bedroom and I was trying to think of different titles to kind of come up with my business. And so love pursuit came to mind and I kept saying it kept saying it and processing it. 00:03:56 Second Divorce“No. So believe it or not. That was my, [00:04:00] that was my second divorce of 10 years. I don't know what it is with me and 10 years in divorces, but that was the second divorce.  06:00 Balance in marriage“But there's also this balance because. There's a lot of sacrifice in a marriage and, and I've been married for over 10 years. I love my work.But also, because we have like this, this together purpose, I think, and I feel like we have just this idea that we have created this life together and having children has a lot to do with that as well that we want to create this family  00:09:06 Purpose can change“That's an interesting perspective. I've never thought about the fact that your why can change.  13:30 Growing up poor“You know, what you said was exactly right. That is not purpose. However, at the time that was my purpose. And I'm gonna tell you why that was my purpose. It was my purpose because I grew up poor 19:45 The 4 “R's”“And I call it the four, our motto and the four. Our motto is just the first thing that you have to do is just sit down and you have to reconnect with yourself. Just reconnect, whatever it is, bad, good in friendship, reconnect, you know, just find out what it is that makes you feel good. And I thought I reconnected. The next thing I wanted to do was just remember, and this, the beautiful thing with remembering, I call them golden little nuggets.  The third thing I did was to reflect, reflect as a few stages. So once you have reconnected with yourself you remember all those beautiful momentsI created some type of journal and I jotted those things down and I used all that information of the different stages that I went through to reboot my life.  28:50 Kidney Disease“And I really wanted to understand what impacted the kidneys and what do I need to feed my body and also feed my mind. And so that started the physical wellness. The emotional wellness actually started, like I said, after divorce emotionally, I started working on myself because that impacted everything in my life. 31:47 Chaos“And I went to this third doctor and I walked in and I told her what was going on. I was like, how can I fix it? And he looked at me and he was like, you can, your kidneys are gonna fail. 37:29 New Purpose“I just want to be that beacon of hope to say, you know what? I did it and I'm not comparing it to myself and said, your situation is similar to mine or mine is similar to yours. What I'm saying is that we all are human beings.

Sales cure everything, but not for the reason you think. There’s a faded sticky note that hangs on my writing desk with these words scrawled across it: “Be the one who changes everyone else’s luck when you walk in the room.”  It’s a quote attributed to Hafiz. I hung it there to remind me of how I want to show up in the world. These words remind me that it is my role to support the work of others. We like to think of ourselves as the heroes of our stories, but when you are called to lead other leaders this is what I know to be true: Shining brightly means you are the spotlight, not the star of the show. When I shine, it creates a bright space for your genius to step into the light. When you do the same, who are you creating space for? (Reply to this email and let me know). Reading Donald Miller’s book, Story Brand, helped me articulate this. But it didn’t answer the most important question for me and almost every business owner I know: How do I find ease while serving my vision? For me, ease meant finally getting my finances in order. For you, it might mean finding the time to go fishing once per week or detaching from your phone for a few hours. Whatever it is, most of us have fallen into the trap of believing that the only way growth happens is through constant hustle. So, we sacrifice ease for the painful pace that we think will buy us greatness. What did answer this question for me, was combining Miller’s wisdom about my role as a leader with a firm grip on what has become my number one business rule: Sales cure everything. If that sentence reads cold to you, hang with me. Too many of us are uncomfortable with money, for a multitude of reasons. For me, it was a verse from the Christian Bible repeated like a mantra by my family throughout my childhood:  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. The message was communicated to us like this: Money makes you sinful. The more of it you have, the less pure you are. But this is dead wrong. That belief held my personal kindness revolution back for years until I finally realized that money only amplifies what we already are.  The reason that sales cure everything has nothing to do with how many vacations you go on, what kind of car you drive or the size of your company. Sales cures everything because of what it buys you: Sales buy you the freedom to shine big enough for everyone you want to serve to stand in the light. Sales make hiring that brilliant Mom at a respectable salary possible. Sales make providing benefits to your employees possible. Sales make sponsoring your favorite non profit possible. Sales make the vacation that renews you for another round of work possible. Sales make buying the building that revitalizes a downtrodden neighborhood possible. Sales are the tool you use to change everyone else’s luck when you walk in the room. The reason the first pillar, the Sales/Marketing arm,  of your business must be strong before we move on to anything else is that it makes everything else possible. To change anyone else’s luck, we must first fall in love with sales.  In episode 31 of Small Stage, Big Impact we discuss: [2:35] What it really means to shine brightly as a leader [3:48] Why “hustle” is not the answer to achieving our dreams and goals (and what is) [5:43] How our view of money could be holding us back from living our best lives [7:21] How sales are a tool for transforming the world around us and leaving a legacy of kindness Resources mentioned by Renia in the episode: Purchase Story Brand by Donald Miller Don’t miss any of our Summer Strategy Sessions.

What won't we try in our quest for perfect health, beauty, and the fountain of youth? Well, just imagine a time when doctors prescribed morphine for crying infants. When liquefied gold was touted as immortality in a glass. And when strychnine—yes, that strychnine, the one used in rat poison—was dosed like Viagra. Looking back with fascination, horror, and not a little dash of dark, knowing humor, Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything (Workman Publishing Company, 2017) recounts the lively, at times unbelievable, history of medical misfires and malpractices. Ranging from the merely weird to the outright dangerous, here are dozens of outlandish, morbidly hilarious “treatments”—conceived by doctors and scientists, by spiritualists and snake oil salesmen (yes, they literally tried to sell snake oil)—that were predicated on a range of cluelessness, trial and error, and straight-up scams. With vintage illustrations, photographs, and advertisements throughout, Lydia Kang and Nate Pedersen seamlessly combines macabre humor with science and storytelling to reveal an important and disturbing side of the ever-evolving field of medicine.
