What to listen for:“We're always inspired by the students and all the hard work that goes on. It blows my mind every single year.”Today, our hosts, Robin Greubel, Stacy Barnett, and Crystal Wing, reflect on their recent experience at Distraction Camp 2025, where handlers and dogs from across the country gathered on Robin's Iowa farm to build deeper relationships through the chaos of real-world distractions.This year's breakthrough came from an unexpected source: cats. The rallying cry “I like cats” (a Crystal original) turned into a reminder to not push your dog to engage but instead allow them to choose connection. When one handler kept insisting her dog play while the dog clearly felt overwhelmed, Crystal asked about her cats. As the handler described her Norwegian cat, her dog—suddenly ignored—began seeking attention, eventually jumping up with a playful “boop” as if to say, “Hey, I'm here too!”Sometimes we need to step back and let our dogs actively choose us, rather than desperately pursuing their attention. Like cats, we can be interesting without being overly available, which means creating pull instead of push in our relationships.Throughout the week, handlers learned to advocate fiercely for their dogs, making training decisions based on what each individual needed rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Students chose different starting positions, modified exercises, and even sat out searches when their dogs weren't ready—something rarely seen at training seminars.The diversity was something else: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels worked alongside Chesapeakes and Pomeranians, each requiring different approaches. One handler discovered her dog's love of bubbles could replace his obsession with "summer snow" (cottonwood fluff). In other words, a distraction was turned into a powerful reinforcer. Another handler learned to read her sensitive dog's signals through a ball-carrying ritual that communicated “I feel safe now.”By week's end, the transformation was visible in both species. As one student suggested, they should rename it “Relationship Camp,” because when the handler-dog connection is strong, it's easy to conquer distractions! Key Topics:The “I Like Cats” Philosophy: Creating Pull vs. Push (04:04)Student Advocacy: Learning to Make Training Decisions (23:50)Individual Approaches for Different Breeds and Personalities (29:37)Building Confidence Through Safe Spaces (34:39)Creative Reinforcement: What Does Your Dog Love?

Episode Summary: This episode tackles the universal fear of an unknown future, anchored by a powerful quote from Steve Jobs: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards." Randy and Greg explore why this uncertainty often paralyzes us, preventing us from taking the first step towards our goals. They discuss the importance of setting a crystal-clear vision, as taught by Earl Nightingale, and trusting that the necessary steps—the "dots"—will reveal themselves along the way. Listeners will learn why "failing fast" is a powerful strategy, how to leverage an inner circle for unbiased advice, and why your small, everyday decisions have a massive impact on your future. This conversation is a masterclass in learning to trust the process, even when you can't see the full path ahead. Key Takeaways: You don't need to see the entire path to your goal; you only need to take the next logical step with faith. Setting a crystal-clear goal is the most crucial first step, as it activates your mind to recognize opportunities and ideas that will help you achieve it. Overthinking and procrastination are often symptoms of wanting the security of a guaranteed outcome, which is impossible. "Failing fast" is an effective strategy to quickly learn if you are on the right path, rather than spending years on the wrong one. Your small, seemingly mundane daily decisions are the "dots" that create the full picture of your life in the future. Leveraging a trusted inner circle for advice is critical because they can offer a logical perspective free from the emotional attachment you have to your own situation. You must trust yourself and the process. Your past experiences don't dictate your future, but your decisions today do. Questions Answered in This Episode: What did Steve Jobs mean when he said you can only connect the dots looking backward? How do you move forward on a goal when you don't know all the steps involved? What is the first and most important step to take when pursuing a big goal? Why is it so hard to make decisions when the future is uncertain? How can the "fail fast" mentality help you achieve success more quickly? Why is it important to get an outside perspective from friends or mentors when making big decisions? How do your small, everyday choices impact your long-term future? What is the best way to handle the fear and self-doubt that come with chasing a big dream? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Steve Jobs, Earl Nightingale. Concepts: Connecting the Dots, Trusting the Process, Goal Setting, Clarity, Failing Fast, The Strangest Secret, Overthinking, Limiting Beliefs, Inner Circle/Mastermind, Personal Development.

You've got the talent. You've proven that your clients see results. But you're still not the first person people think of when they need your expertise. Let's change that. In episode 452 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I'm unpacking one of the biggest sales barriers I see in high-achieving experts and entrepreneurs: they're doing powerful work, but it's not visible or recognized in the way it needs to be to land the sale. Being great at what you do is just the beginning. If you want to attract high-value clients, media attention, and aligned opportunities, it's time to stop waiting for referrals and start leading the conversation in your space. That begins with clarity - on what you want to be known for and how you show up in the market with that message. I'll show you how to claim your expert positioning, break through visibility blocks, and build a message that magnetizes the right people to you—without needing to shout the loudest or be everywhere at once. If you're done playing small and ready to be seen for the true value you bring, this episode will give you the mindset, strategy, and clarity to become un-ignorable.   Key Takeaways:  [00:00] Why people don't hire the best expert - they hire the expert they know about. [01:45] The cashflow cost of unclear messaging and trying to offer too many solutions. [04:59] What shifts when your offer and message are truly clear and compelling. [06:51] How talented entrepreneurs still get overlooked - and what makes others stand out. [08:59] Ways to choose what you want to be known for: from solutions to energy to an aligned audience. [16:09] The role of a Lighthouse Message™ in magnetizing your ideal clients. [18:38] Why “interesting” content isn't enough, and how to make it inform “why you.”   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: FREE GUIDE & SCORECARD: Feel like the best-kept secret?

In this raw and reflective solo episode, Tobi takes us on a soulful dive into the quiet power of what happens beneath the surface. Using the profound iceberg analogy, this episode explores how our deepest growth, healing, and transformation often occur in silence, unseen by others. It's a reminder that just because things look calm doesn't mean nothing is happening—and just because no one sees your effort doesn't mean it isn't sacred.Through poetic storytelling and heartfelt truths, Deep Waters honours the weight we carry, the battles we fight in private, and the beauty of the becoming that's always unfolding—underneath.
