Happiness is a path, and it is practical. Whenever you feel stuck or frustrated, always let happiness be your first stop. Many of us do not understand what happiness can do for us in every aspect of our lives. Our mindset can make us move mountains, but we hardly allow ourselves to get there. In this episode, we have an amazing lady joining us. Her energy is out of this world, and her positive mindset is something to admire. Meet Dana Wilde! Dana and I will be talking about training the brain and happiness. Also, she will tell us how she got from zero to millionaire. Are you ready to shift your mindset? Tune in. Zero to Millionaire Dana lived overseas for 10 years. She came back to the US when she was 38 years old. She had no job and no resume since she was living in a backpack for 10 years. She had to do something. She had a part-time job in the film industry, where she worked as an assistant director and built her business. After doing her homework, she discovered that nobody was teaching about mindset. Her findings inspired her to write Train your Brain and she taught it to her team. In 19 months, they went from zero to a million dollars. She sold that business, started another one from scratch doing the same thing and the business prospered. Your Words Can Change Situations Often, we find ourselves using negative words because of the situations we go through. One day, Dana’s team member called telling her things were not working out for her. She was doing a good job of making sales and booking parties, but the hostesses kept on cancelling the parties. She complained of the unreliability of the hostesses. Dana was invited to try a different set of words like “my hostesses are reliable” for 72 hours and sure, things started working out for her. Your words have the power to change a situation for the best or the worst. Four Steps to Changing your Mindset Train your brain to wake up- when your brain is awake, and you’ll be in a position to catch negative thoughts when they start creeping in. Decide if you want your reticular activating system to keep matching the negative thoughts. Please find a way to talk about the current situation in a way that it feels good. Once you start feeling good about your situation, feel the positive emotions that go with the situation. Dana’s Inner Super Power Dana’s inner superpower is definitely a positive mindset, optimism, and propensity. She believes her positive mindset is something she was born with.

It will do whatever you tell it to do.” “There’s never a time where you get a free pass, and you don’t get to do the work. You always have to do the mindset work. If you want to get to the next level.” “The problem is not the problem. The problem is that I keep thinking about and talking about the problem.” “How do you go from zero to a million dollars in 19 months? You make happiness, your first stop.” “When you’re frustrated, you close those creative pathways.” Connect with Dana LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/danawilde Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/themindaware/ Website - https://danawilde.com/

What you’ll learn in this episode: Why creating a successful jewelry business takes more than a love of jewelry Why collectors should focus on fewer, better quality things How Dana tailors her services to capture the millennial market Why more people are choosing wearable, everyday jewelry rather than showstopping pieces How Dana defines what a collector is About Dana Kraus The DK Farnum collection is a reflection of years of luxury goods experience. Dana Kraus was in management at Gourmet, Elle, and Fortune magazines, where she cultivated jewelry clients, made excellent contacts and learned how to navigate the finest jewelry houses to ferret out exceptional design. Her extensive research and vigilant, disciplined eye are the forces behind the collection. She studied art history and decorative arts at the Brearley School and Smith College and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Dana joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about her path to jewelry and where she see the industry heading. Read the episode transcript here.

Sean welcomes Dana Malstaff to the Thinking Big podcast. Dana is the founder of the Boss Mom movement, which includes her Facebook community, courses, a YouTube channel, and the chart-topping podcast “The Boss Mom Podcast”. Her book, Boss Mom, was published in 2015 and kicked off her business and the Boss Mom movement. Dana has been featured in Fast Company, Amy Porterfield’s podcast, Goal Digger podcast, and more. One of my biggest takeaways from this episode is how she organically grew her Facebook community to over 50k, and why she runs it the way she does. Her methods are pretty genius. Today, we are thinking big about our communities, and how we show up. In this episode, you’ll also hear: The story behind how Boss Mom began. How Dana found her tribe to support her while she started her business. Why women have different motivations for starting a business than men. What feeling valued can do for your business. Dana’s email system and why every part of that ecosystem is important to your community. A breakdown of her Facebook community and how it grew organically. What Dana doesn’t allow in her Facebook community and why. Why she encourages questions and how those questions can spin into marketing and ideal clients. Dana’s affinity for systems and how they help increase productivity and flexibility. How breaking down an expert system so that people can easily understand it leads to success. Why familiarity is optimal in most cases. Novelty is less sought after. Asking questions is growing, and no one is perfect the way they are. Dana sees perfection as a moving goal, and being messy should be the goal. About the Nurture to Convert YouTube channel Dana just launched.

Today we are so excited to have the CEO of Health-Ade Kombucha, our favorite kombucha company, on the show! Daina Trout co-founded Health-Ade Kombucha in 2012 alongside her husband, Justin Trout, and best friend, Vanessa Dew. Since the beginning, the trio has been committed to brewing the best tasting and highest quality kombucha on the market. Trout first learned how to brew kombucha during her tenure at Tufts University, where she earned Masters’ degrees both in Nutrition and Public Health after receiving her BS from Georgetown University. During that time, she also developed her personal philosophy that health is less about science, and more abou what makes you feel good and happy. After graduation, Trout moved to Los Angeles to accept a position working in pharmaceuticals but continued to cultivate an interest in holistic and “real” food that fuels a hard-working lifestyle. Trout funneled this energy into an entrepreneurship club she formed with Justin and Vanessa to explore ways they could combine their diverse backgrounds into a successful business venture; the result, Health-Ade Kombucha. Over the course of the last seven years, Trout has nurtured what started as a small production and niche product into what has become a national brand that is sold at 30,000 grocery stores and health food markets nationwide, including major retailers like Target, Whole Foods and Costco. Today, Health-Ade is currently the fastest growing brand in its category for three years in a row and is projected to significantly expand its business nationwide each year under her leadership as CEO. In this episode we discuss: How Daina, her husband and best friend started Heath-Ade Kombucha What exactly kombucha is and how it is made What are the benefits of fermented foods like kombucha What makes Health-Ade kombucha different from others on the market and why it’s taking over the grocery stores What Dana believes is the #1 skill or characteristic that has supported her to be a successful entrepreneur How Dana practice wellness without obsession This episode is brought to you by my holiday survival guide.

Dana felt like there was something wrong with her all the time in her twenties, and she tried everything and anything you can name trying to fix herself until she ended up in the hospital.

Today’s episode is incredible! Our guest in today's show, Dana Monsees, is open, honest and raw about her personal experience as a Whole 30 coach, and making the decision to transition to an intuitive eating philosophy and health at every size aligned approach for her clinical nutrition practice and education she provides on her blog and podcast.

She is a a Board-Certified Nutritionist, Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist, and Body Image Coach teaching women how to fix their sh*tty relationship with food and their bodies, ditch the diet cycle for good, and heal and thrive with real food, one delicious meal at a time. In this episode we discuss: Dana’s current work as a non-diet nutritionist and her speciality in the middle ground approach, making nutrition easy to understand and intuitive eating aligned. Dana’s journey from being a Whole 30 coach to practicing instead from an intuitive eating philosophy. Dana shares what caused this shift, why it was no longer ethical for her to recommend the Whole 30 and why she could no longer recommend it to her clients and audience. Why the Whole 30 cannot be used to fix your relationship with food. How Dana practices intuitive eating as someone who personally has Celiac disease. How Dana practices wellness without obsession. Stay tuned to the end of today’s episode to learn about my 3 identifiers of diet culture, which you can also learn more about in this episode, all about what exactly is diet culture.

This episode is brought to you by New Chapter. As a women’s health dietitian and educator, I have been on the search for my official recommendation for a prenatal vitamin for quite some time, and I am thrilled to say I finally found the one, and actually a prenatal AND postnatal vitamin- that checks all my boxes. What’s so cool about New Chapter’s perfect prenatal vitamin is that it is fermented for better absorption with beneficial probiotics and whole foods, which also makes it easy to digest and gentle on the stomach- which if you’ve ever taken a prenatal vitamin you know that’s not always the case. Plus their new improved formula contains ginger to help combat morning sickness. It contains all the key nutrients your body needs for a growing baby, including methylfolate- which is the active form of folate I personally always recommend to my clients when they are looking for a prenatal. And they also have a Perfect postnatal vitamin, which is what I am personally taking now. Its formulated specifically for new moms and our needs, to help us replenish nutrient stores from having a baby meaning its going to contain key nutrients like iodine, vitamin D, fermented iron as well as fermented B vitamins to support energy needs. What I think is so helpful is that it also contains herbs and plants that have been used traditionally for lactation like oats, kelp, chamomile and turmeric. As with all New Chapter supplements and products, these prenatal and postnatal vitamins are nonGMO certified, made with organic whole foods and herbs and responsibly sourced. I mean I could it get any better, I don’t think so! You can purchase New Chapter prenatal and postnatal vitamins on New Chapter’s website, Whole Foods, CVS, Amazon and local health food stores.

If you’re in a leadership position in the engineering industry and have suddenly been thrust into working remotely, it may feel like your world has been turned upside down. In this episode of Simple Leadership, Dana Lawson and I discuss a few tips to help you manage remote teams. You want your team to thrive and be successful during a time of great uncertainty. Dana describes herself as an atypical engineer. She wanted to attend college to be an artist but soon realized the ‘starving artist’ lifestyle wasn’t going to cut it. She took the ASVAB test when she joined the military and scored high in engineering categories. In the last 20 years, she’s worked in every tech position possible—most recently, she is the VP of Engineering at GitHub. Listen to hear her unique story! Outline of This Episode [1:38] Dana Lawson: from art major to engineer [6:18] How Dana found herself in a leadership role [9:02] Mistakes Dana has learned from throughout her career [12:27] We got to eat dinner at Al Gore’s house [15:48] Tips and strategies for managing remotely [26:38] Don’t forget these aren’t just transactional relationships [30:42] How to onboard a new hire completely remotely [34:45] What happens when the process doesn’t go well? [37:04] Help remote employees advocate for themselves You have to embrace a leadership mindset Dana states that “Anybody can be a leader, it’s just how much you wanna unlock it”. She believes it’s an attribute that’s been ingrained in her personality. She’s naturally an A-Type and has never been afraid to speak her mind. In whatever capacity she was working in, she always took the initiative to move the ball forward. You don’t have to have a management title to be a leader. She just believes that some of us gravitate towards being a leader more than others—but that we all have the calling to lead in some way. Dana argues, “Anybody has the ability to go influence change and bring up the people around them to do great things”. Tips and strategies to manage remote teams Dana shared some tips she’s learned from a managerial role: Write it down. Have a good practice of writing things down. Track what’s being done throughout the day. Reiterate tasks and instructions multiple times through different modes of communication whenever possible. Form a daily structure for your team and yourself. Don’t stop the practices you already have in place because you suddenly have this new obstacle of working from home. You can still hold the same meetings, just do them virtually. Take advantage of ALL the communication tools available to you. Slack and online chats are great, but if the conversation is going to be longer than 5 minutes, hop in a video chat (Zoom, Skype, FaceTime) or a phone call. 90% of communication is non-verbal and it’s okay to jump from chat to a call. Invest in some camera gear: This is my tip here, but get a decent webcam off of Amazon and use appropriate lighting when using Zoom or other video applications. To keep things light-hearted—though partially serious—Dana points out that you have be on-point with your emoji game. There’s verbal communication, non-verbal, and emoji verbal. Humans have reverted to Egyptian Hieroglyphs. Oddly enough, each company has its own set of social norms with emojis—so learn quickly. These aren’t just transactional relationships Don’t forget there are humans on the other side of your communication. How would you interact with someone in the office? What about pleasantries like “Hey, good morning!” or “How are you today?”. Dana points out you can ask about your team’s families, learn about their dog, and keep apprised of their life like you would in the office. A distributed workforce still needs to feel like they’re part of the office family. Dana points out that you want to build empathy even when you won't have the physical contact that you would in an office setting. Especially now, with many people working from home due to the Coronavirus, people are anxious. They’re worried about their jobs and their livelihood. As a manager, you’ll have to learn how to empathize with them and how to quell their fears. You’ll likely have to help them focus on the projects at-hand and iterate that you are in this together. Above all, Dana recommends being realistic about your deadlines. Transitioning into working remotely won’t be 100% smooth and you have to have grace through the process. How to onboard a new hire 100% remotely Dana believes the easiest way to onboard remotely is to be completely intentional with everything you do. Schedule every onboarding task and learning opportunity into their calendar Direct them to all of the tools and processes they’ll need. Email them with links to training documents, with a schedule of when to go through them. Dana points out this is a great time to record training videos. It helps break up written policies and gives new hires a face and voice to connect to. Communication is key during the onboarding process and needs to be even more emphasized with a remote workforce. You can’t just tell them, “Connect with me if you have questions” or “Tell me if you have a problem”. As the manager, it is your job to consistently check-in, ask how they’re doing, and walk them through issues they may run into. Worst comes to worst, you can always push the onboarding process until you have a better system in place.

Our guest on this episode of the This is a Man’s World podcast is Dana Francis, a mom, steamfitter/pipe-fitter, apprentice welder, and podcaster. Dana got into the trades when she realised that she needed a bit more financial stability than she currently had in construction retail. She was accepted into the Women Building Futures program and quickly realised that this would be a much better situation for herself and her family. Always one to appreciate a hard day’s work, Dana has found fulfilment in her career and encourages other women to learn more about the trades industry. Dana and Michelle swap stories about their experiences on the job site, appropriate and inappropriate treatment they have received, and the varying levels of support for women in the trades they have observed. It is interesting how even the simple act of wearing makeup is perceived, and Dana and Michelle discuss what it is like to be a woman, a mom, and a tradeswoman. Dana encourages other women who are in the trades or considering a career in the trades to stick with it if it is what you really want to do and be open-minded about taking new opportunities. Don’t be frightened off by the long work hours but find a schedule that will work for you and your family, especially if you have children in daycare. It is important for women to continue to seek employment in the trades and to support each other along the way.

“Doing your thing is massively important to raising good kids. We should be able to show our kids that doing what we love is financially viable. I don’t want work to be a negative word. I don’t want kids to grow up and think they have to get a job to make money to have enough money to do the thing they love.” This podcast episode is one of my favorite yet. I can’t tell you how much I LOVED interviewing ‘Dana Banana’ - a Boss Mom herself and founder of the incredible Boss Mom community that’s helped over 50,000 women in the last 2.5 years. Like me, Dana comes from a corporate background. But everything changed when she realized that it wasn’t her job she was in love with - but her thirst for accomplishment. This insight inspired her to quit her six-figure (plus) salary to become an entrepreneur - at the same time as having her first child! “Our lives are basically just a series of decisions that we make every day - some conscious and some unconscious.” Dana is proof that parenthood doesn’t need to change your personal ambitions for life, work, and yourself. Instead, as you’ll discover in this week’s podcast, life-changing situations can in fact inspire the life-changing decisions that push you in the direction you truly desire. In this episode, Dana gets up close and personal. Discussing everything from the drunken night that changed everything to the reason why shaving her legs is a daily non-negotiable. But beyond the banter is some incredible insights that could truly change your life. For example, how Dana supports herself to make the right decisions - so she can be effective as a business owner, a mom, and a human. So if you’re a mom who’s looking for support, ideas, and a like-minded community to help you take your business to the next level, then this episode is for you. And it’s equally for you if you want to see how one woman juggles multiple demanding roles and comes out on top. Enjoy :-) “There are so many correlations - raising a business is just like raising a child!” Some questions I ask:Tell us about your journey. How did the BossMom movement start and come to life. (3:22)How do you navigate the uncertainty and discomfort of making difficult decisions when you’re going through life-changing decisions? (10:20)What does your daily routine look like? How does it help you cultivate your practice of staying on track? (15:28)Do you have a process for offloading decisions to free up your plate? (19:09)How does self care factor into your life? (23:50)What are the non-negotiables you have to do every day to keep yourself moving, inspired, and excited to do more of what you’re doing. (29:39)How does gratitude show up in your life? (34:29)What kind of community can help people get into an active state of appreciation? (39:50)In the midst of everything that’s happening in your life, how do you stay grounded? (46:59) In this episode, you will hear about: How Dana discovered her thing - and why it wasn’t around the specialty she expected. (6:55)Why women make life changing decisions during life-changing situations. (9:52)The role of decision confidence and decision support when making choices - and the role they play in managing guilt. (10:59)Dana’s daily review of what’s important in her life through her Dream Makers and Deal Breakers - and how that helps her make the right decisions. (11:54)The tools Dana uses to help plan her day, make decisions, and keep stock of her goals. (13:09)How to feel good about what you are doing instead of feeling bad about what you’re NOT doing. (15:28)The weekly practice Dana does on a Sunday night to get accountability and prioritize her week. (17:05)Dana’s decision threshold and how it helps her interact with others effectively and delegate tasks. (18:13)Dana’s work wife! (19:53)What to do when survival mode is no longer sustainable and you need to reintegrate self care into your life - and why focusing on one thing at a time works best. (25:40)Why leg shaving and flossing are some of Dana’s non-negotiables. (30:00)Why Dana is passionate about giving compliments. (32:20)Why Dana see gratitude as an opportunity - and how this shows up in her life. (36:19)Why support is stability and how this can help you confidently climb without worrying about falling over.

I hope you’re ready for an amazing conversation; it’s one that is surprising even to me in the direction that it takes. My guest is Dana Garrison, a global business consultant and creator of Family Entanglement Work and Childhood Reimprinting Work. If these terms are puzzling to you, then I ask you to join us to learn how these powerful concepts can revitalize your life! In addition to her work in these fields, Dana is a recognized expert in the field of digital marketing, live video, and social media strategy. I can promise that you won’t be disappointed in this episode, so join us now! TWEET: “#Success isn’t about your #IQ” @DanaGarrison Changing Habits, Patterns, and Beliefs: You’ve heard that age-old debate of “Nature vs. Nurture.” Exactly what factors mold each of us into the person we become? For Dana, it was a mystery illness that prompted her work as a therapist, studying the intricacies of the mind, specifically in relation to personal development and achieving goals faster. Her Family Entanglement Work studies the generational patterns that we inherit, and Childhood Reimprinting focuses on the patterns and beliefs that we pick up during our childhood years. Dana noticed dramatic breakthroughs in her clients—and herself—as she used these concepts to undo blocks and reduce her symptoms, one by one. TWEET: “90% of what causes our #problems comes from our unconscious #habits and #patterns.” @DanaGarrison You Aren’t Who You Think You Are!: Do you struggle with self-doubt, procrastination, and fear of failure? You may think that these are just characteristics of your personality—of WHO you are. Dana shows how these behavior patterns are sourced from entanglements and imprints; they are NOT your true self! Once they are addressed, they will go away, because these patterns are totally malleable. Dana explains why you should NEVER buy into the fact that these negative behaviors are YOU. TWEET: “All of your #patterns can be changed!” @DanaGarrison Steps to Break Free Do you ever feel trapped by negative thoughts or behaviors? The first step in changing behavior is to be aware of it. Dana provides resources that give you power to make new choices and decisions. All it takes is action to make changes. She explains how 80-90% of success comes from your “Inner Game,” and she gives tools to help achieve goals. One of the secrets is to get a coach or mentor. Another step is to learn what triggers your negative thoughts and then DON’T buy into them! TWEET: “Inner #blocks can stop you from doing what you need to do.” @DanaGarrison GUEST RECOMMENDATION: Address your Inner Game. Work on the root cause and not just the symptoms! OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:48] How Dana developed Family Entanglement Work and Childhood Reimprinting—all because of a mystery illness [6:45] Mind-blowing success in the first nine months of her business [7:30] Changing what we think is permanent about ourselves [9:25] Working through past obstacles in pursuing your dreams [10:00] Inner blocks to success and examples of entanglement patterns [13:40] Personality flaws are NOT part of us!
