Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I'm Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let's jump in! Notes from this episode are below. My clients achieve their goals through: Articulating their long-term vision, goals and milestones Identifying what might be holding them back Approach their work as a leader of leaders Addressing mental and physical health, relationships, communication, and more! How I Started the Ever Better Podcast Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I went into research mode. I spoke to many doctors, survivors, and others affected by breast cancer diagnoses. As I weighed my treatment options I listened to lots of podcasts about the topic. Podcasts helped me learn about breast cancer and its treatments. The stories and experiences of others inspired me. They were really a lifeline at times. Over and over again I would listen to a podcast episode and come away with a different mindset. So I started thinking about creating a podcast of my own. The following year, I went to a camp for adults called Camp Good Life Project, which is no longer offered. It was a one-of-a-kind experience created by Jonathan Fields who produces the Good Life Project Podcast. I expressed my interest in podcasting to others at the camp, and many were podcasters themselves. I shared that I wanted to create a podcast to inspire people the way I had been inspired. Another podcaster asked for my notebook while in mid-conversation. He wrote, “buy this microphone… sign up for this service… do this thing… do this thing...” He gave me the specific action items I needed to start a podcast. He demystified the process and encouraged me to get started! Fast forward several years and I finished the first “season” of the Ever Better Podcast with ninety episodes! Coach Lisa While creating the Ever Better Podcast, my guests would regularly say, “I feel like I've been through a really good coaching session.” I reflected on this and realized that I had always taken a coaching approach to my work. When I was 23 years old and managing software developers, I had no idea of how to code. I didn't understand the technical details but I was able to help my team mesh and become very high-performing. Through applying curiosity, listening fully and applying my business knowledge I was able to bring out the best in each person. What started out as encouragement from my podcast guests, became a side gig, and in 2017, I left my marketing and public relations job to become a full-time executive coach. Ever Better Today What began in 2015 as the Ever Better Podcast, has become Ever Better Today beginning in 2022. So what will I be sharing this season? Some topics I'll cover are: Creating and maintaining a billion-dollar mindset. Growing your business to the next level. Reframing events, messages, and circumstances. How to better communicate with your friends, family, and co-workers. Executive presence. Playing bigger. And many more! I won't be interviewing guests as I did in Season 1. Each episode, you'll hear my thoughts on a specific topic - distilled down into 10 minutes or less. Clients often work with me on a long-term basis and the greatest thing about coaching is witnessing their success, growth and progress! Learn more about me and my work here! If you'd like to request that I cover a specific topic or to set up a consultation, send me an email at Lisa@everbetteru.com.

This episode will be a little different because this consists of two topics. The first topic is about The 3 Stages of Enlightenment and the second portion is like a bonus track that is regarding the Life-Changing Breakthrough Story of How I Started my landscaping business. Listen to these episodes as they are combined to inspire and greatly help you. Remember all struggles that we are facing in life are challenges to make us strong, to make us better. Don't quit. Pursue your dreams. "Six years ago, I was stuck in a dead-end job. And I was only making $10 an hour at the age of like 29 or 28 or something. And I've been fired for many, many jobs. And what made me start my landscaping business in the six figures. Now, actually, my goal this year is to hit a quarter million. It's a lot to some, it's peanuts to others. It doesn't matter. It matters about what your own personal journey is and what you're willing to face and how fast you're willing to face it." - Keith Kalfas Topics Covered: 00:34 - We all have our downside moments where we feel that we are nothing, that we are a nobody. We almost quit because in every attempt we make we fail, we don't succeed. So frustration starts to embrace you because it seems hopeless. That is why these 3 stages of enlightenment are very important. 1:25 - First stage - awakening. Seeing things from a different perspective. Instead of seeing things negatively, you convert them to a positive outlook and start to appreciate even the small things. 2:24 - Second stage - tribulation. But while you're going through this thing, you understand, while you're going through it, that it's actually benefiting you. You say this is just a trial. This is just a tribulation. This is a test, I'm being tested. 8:46 - Third Stage - you bypass the entire trial. Now because you have been through this before, you can see around corners. And you don't even have to go through the hard thing. So you actually go around it, or you reap all these rewards and all these benefits right here right now. 12:09 - Bonus track of how I started my landscaping business from nothing. I added this to inspire all of you. Key Takeaways: "Do a purge do it Cleanse, get rid of old things in your life old attachments. I love you, I'm sorry, forgive me thank you heal up relationships and things with yourself, go on a fast a cleanse a diet, take a few days off work and sleep in, or go work your guts out, whatever that thing is for you that practice can actually get you to break off that mold and a quantum leap to the next level very quickly. I've seen this happen in my life. So I've been through both I've been through all this crap, is where you go through years of trials and tribulations where nothing pops off and happens. And then all of a sudden, one day, something, boom, you just explode it to some level of success. And it just becomes realized instantaneously. I promise this can happen to you. And I've watched this happen for me in my life." "The first one is where you go through the thing, and you don't even see it. And it takes a long time. And after you go through it to see why you went through, you get all the reward and all the benefits. the second type of enlightenment is while you're going through the tribulation, you can see why you're going through it and you reap the benefit. And you actually get through it a lot faster, because you know why you're going through it. And the third step type of enlightenment is you don't even have to go through the hard thing, you can actually circumvent it and go right around it and still reap all the rewards and all the benefits without wasting all the time by just being conscious and aware and learning from yours and other people's experiences. the lesson is repeated until the lesson is learned."

In this episode, I draw on lessons from the Horses on giving and taking and from the founder of Family Constellations, Bert Hellinger's ideas on how we stay innocent when we give and feel guilty when we take. His statement that has brought icy feeling of truth to me at times, “It is better for you to feel obligated to me than for me to feel obligated to you,” is a great place to explore what our relationship to giving and taking is. Where horses take the carrot I give them, I sometimes begrudgingly see my own needs and desires: for the horse to give back to me, love me, kiss me or give me attention… But also the simple lesson of being in complete action and alignment by delighting in the giving. I invite you to notice on subtle levels why you give, from which place are you giving, and who is doing the giving? It takes grit to be honest and have weight in yourself by recognizing what you might silently or secretly expect from others when you give while finding a place for the pure act of giving. Also, I touch on taking your parents as they are — a piece that I had forgotten to speak to in the episode on taking. This conversation is Part 3 of 3 on the investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. In week 1, I explored the developmental need and assertive tool of taking — the benefits of being able to take and how taking comes before giving in the spectrum of life. In week 2 I explored receiving and how it is connected to our embodiment and visceral reactions as well as permission, belief sets, saying NO, and our ancestral lineage.

Welcome to Episode #1 of the Tom Wang Show. Funny story is that originally, I wanted to call this podcast series "How I Started", emulating the popular podcast "How I Built This". However as I interviewed many founders, who are also my friends, we couldn't get deep. Meaning the stuff we were chatting about were all very surface level, at least for us. I decided to change the name to The Tom Wang Show so that we are not so restricted with the topics we can discuss. In this episode, I interviewed my friend Kevin Pasco, co-founder of Nested Naturals. Kevin recently sold his stake in the company to pursue other personal ambitions. Feel free to hit me up at hello@tomwang.io with any suggestions and feedback! This podcast is made for you.

Welcome to episode two. In this episode, I will talk about the beginning of my real estate journey which began over 30 years ago. I will touch on: What caused my curiosity in real estate What I did initially to learn about real estate A little about my first couple of deals And transitioning to where I am today - continuing to buy but also working with agents and other investors Where It All Began… I first became interested in real estate as a teenager. Even in high school, I knew I wanted to generate income, but back then I didn’t realize it was in a passive manner. Doing my research led me to real estate. I can recall reading books on the subject by both investors and developers. I had always thought money was generated in exchange for time. But I wanted to learn how to make money without spending all of those hours. With real estate, I learned that I would be able to achieve the profits I was after without the time commitment. I discovered I could buy one house, rent it out, and have the tenants pay it off for me. Once the house was paid off, it would be instant income. I would be creating assets for myself that others paid off. I learned how to leverage assets, always making sure the income was much greater than the expenses. How I Started… After high school, I joined the military. Investing in real estate wasn’t really an option for me as I was deployed, off somewhere on a ship, not able to close the deals I wanted to. I didn’t have the time to complete the tasks that would be required to close deals. During this time, I continued to read. I went to seminars, and I learned all I could. I learned enough to be dangerous. My first property purchase happened in the late 80’s during the S&L Crisis. It was a condominium in Pensacola. I was familiar with the area, having lived and trained there while in the military. I enjoyed going there so the purchase seemed like a no-brainer. I had good credit and was able to take over the loan, with little money down. I was able to quickly find a renter, and from there things were easy. It was a great property, in fact, I wish I still had it! My second property was a different story. I was also stationed in San Diego during my time in the military. I thought maybe I should reach out to the “We Buy Houses” guys, hoping to work with them on a deal. I had some money saved up and eventually made a deal with a wholesaler. His team fixed up the property, but meanwhile, the market was shifting. I was in over my head, with a property I never should have become involved with. My lack of experience and success of my first deal led me to believe the second deal would go the same way. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. I lost about 9k on that deal, which was a big chunk of money at the time. It’s still a big chunk of money today! The lesson here was that if you don’t have money or if you don’t have the education behind you, don’t get ahead of yourself with a property you aren’t ready for. It was a difficult lesson learned, all a part of what has got me to where I am today. These days, I am still buying, but I also focus on working with other investors and real estate agents. I believe there are a lot of positives to these relationships and opportunities for all parties to be successful.
