❌ Do NOT Say the Wrong Thing to Your Doctor!

News with Michael (in for Sean) 5-2-2025 ...Do Not Say,“Ship Building Short Falls” Too Quickly

In part 2 of this conversation with Mel Gravely, a true GOAT, we unpack Mel's idea of "BEING READY" so you don't have to "GET READY.". We also dive into our NEW guest segments including "The Things We Think and Do Not Say", and, "Swipe Up & 5" where we learn what's on Mel's playlist and what it says about him. You have to listen! GOATs to include Oprah Winfrey, General George S. Patton and so many more!  We serve it up in a way YOU can get it!

The conversation with Rachel Layton continues as we move into a “Things We Think and Do Not Say” conversation: exploring the idea of “You're the Man” with the unique perspective of a woman! What does the saying mean? Where did it come from? Do people still use the expression today? Does the idea mean something different for women? In this politically charged world, is it ok to say “You're the Man” to a woman? Is there a difference or a double standard between a man and a woman who exhibits “You're the Man” behaviors? Goats to include David Letterman, Madonna and so many more! We serve it up in a way you can get it!

It’s time to stop the negative talk to both yourself and the people around you. We’re introducing conscious communication from here on out. I’m joined by Mary Shores to talk about how she created this communication model to positively impact her personal and business relationships. Key Takeaways What’s on the Do Not Say List: No Not Can’t  Won’t However Unfortunately About Mary Shores Mary Shores is an innovative collection agency owner, communication expert, and best-selling author who transforms people's words to help them fall back in love with their customers. Fifteen years ago, Mary discovered a game-changing formula to connect to your customers and clients. It all started with a do not say list and grew into an entire strategy that will fix your relationships. Change Your Thoughts: Change Your Life Mary shares with us the story of her childhood and what led her to start her own business as a debt collector. It’s such an emotional tale but is one that has such a positive outcome. Mary tells us the exact moment she decided to change her mindset… and change her life. When she decided to take a more positive outlook with her communications, Mary sent out that conscious request to the universe that she would embody that joy, however, and wherever she could. Part of this was allowing herself to examine her negative thoughts when they arose. By learning where her negative thoughts and emotions stemmed from, she figured out how to work with and through past trauma. Over the past 15 years of inner work, Mary developed an alternative model for Positive Psychology. The Power of Thought Quality lets you look at what impact your thoughts have and where the power of your individual words lies. This led Mary to create the Cleanse or Clog formula. This method acts as a way to train your mind and thoughts to recognize when something is good for you - or something that’s sitting more negatively in your life. Have Some Compassion for Yourself Mary talks about the power that exists when you label your emotions. For so many of us, figuring out what we’re actually feeling seems like a nearly impossible task. But, as Mary details, when you can get there, there is immense healing. Something Mary encourages us all to learn how to do more often is to have compassion for ourselves. There is so much power in the negative words we speak to ourselves and, on top of this, we’re all under immense stress and pressure. Mary recommends writing down everything you feel that’s going wrong in your life right now. When you look at that list - how does it make you feel? I want you to know that you’re justified if you’re feeling overwhelmed and that you owe yourself some compassion. How would you talk to your six-year-old self? Will you be implementing the Do Not Say list in your life? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page.

“Everything we say, everything we do, every choice we make in the thinnest sliced moments of life is either creating a connection to what we want, or it’s driving a disconnection.” Language is incredibly powerful. The words you use with colleagues, clients, friends and family can either promote solutions and create connection or drive you further apart. And the language we use on ourselves is just as powerful. The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves become our identity. So, how do we learn to choose our words more carefully? How can we create new beliefs around what we’re capable of? How can we leverage the power of self-talk to overcome limiting beliefs and move closer to our goals? Mary Shores is the founder and president of Midstate Collection Solutions, an innovative debt collection agency that partners with clients to collect past due receivables. She is also a prominent keynote speaker and creator of the Conscious Communications system, a method of forming new neural pathways by simply changing your words. Mary shares these practices in her bestselling book, Conscious Communications: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life. Today, Mary joins us to share her definition of barrier beliefs and explain how they can be overcome by taking action in the direction you want to go. She offers insight into the origin of her Do Not Say list and discusses how you can leverage the idea of cleanse versus clog to improve your health and nutrition—or any other aspect of your life!

Than, brainstorm positive ways you can handle these situations.Every business should have a “DO NOT SAY” list. For example, instead of using “unfortunately” change it to “fortunately” and flip the script. Every experience we encounter shapes us into who we are. Be grateful for the adversities you have overcome and recognize how strong you are to have gone through them. Remember, sometimes the best inspiration comes from desperation. Don’t let your limiting beliefs control you. Whatever you think you can’t do, there’s a reason behind why you think that. Dig deep and find the answer to why you think you “can’t” do something, than figure out how to do it!Know your value and don’t give too much away for free, or there will be nothing left to give. Many people encourage you to “give value,” but you have to know your personal value also comes with a price.  3 Bold and Kick-Ass Quotes:  “Every action you take and every choice you make is either creating a connection or driving a disconnection.” - Mary Shores“I started this business because I felt like it was the only way for me to control my own destiny.” - Mary Shores“Purpose is whatever your natural skills, gifts, and talents are.” - Mary Shores Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with Mary!Website: http://maryshores.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shoresmary/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mary_shores/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mary_shores  Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with us!Website: http://www.ThinkBoldBeBold.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThinkBoldBeBold/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkboldbebold/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinkboldbebold Sponsored by Mavericks Mastermind  Until next time, Do Something Nice for Someone!

Good Afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Madeleine Thien, Author of Do Not Say We Have Nothing, her third novel published this month by Norton and currently shortlisted for the Man Booker Award. Madeline was born in Vancouver. Her story collection is Simple Recipes, and she has also written Certainty and Dogs at the Perimeter. Since 2010 she has been part of the international faculty at the MFA program at City University of Hong Kong. So. Do Not Say we Have Nothing. First and usually somewhat daunting to me, there is a family tree. Which sometimes elicits a bit of a shudder. But this family tree is seamless and informative from the outset. A few flipping back and forths and you have a pretty good idea of the cast of characters. In brief summary: There is Big Mother Knife, a boisterous and matriarchal leader of a frequently fractured and torn asunder family. Her husband Ba Lute is equally boisterous and full of strength but in at least superficially, different ways. Swirl, Big Mama’s sister is a lovely woman, whose life is torn apart, as are many in the book and millions in real life by Mao’s cultural revolution. Her husband is Wen the Dreamer, who brings love, romance and the Book of Records, an unfinished series of notebooks around which much of the novel flows. Swirl’s previous life before Wen, is tragic in many ways. Big Mama and Ba Lute have three kids, Da Shan and Flying Bear, both again boisterous and good at heart. Their third son forms a part of one of the two groupings in the book. This is Sparrow an accomplished composer. His cousin Zhuli is a virtuoso violinist whose true heart is her music and she doesn’t waver from that. And his best friend is Jiang Kai, another gifted musician, a pianist whose path is somewhat different. Sparrow’s daughter Ai-Ming and Jiang Kai’s daughter Marie, together work to piece together the past and try to make sense of tragedy, heroism and a society torn asunder by the efforts of one man and the cult of his personality, that led to a conflagration of epic proportions. Maybe that is a mouthful, but it all slides together and forms, through the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, a seamless whole that as we do our work creates a picture of a world that is gone but must be remembered.
