Connection And Purpose Through Transformation This week is a re-run of one of my most popular episodes with Luis Congdon, The co-founder of Thriving Launch an online business resource and podcast to help business owners map out clear and practical tips that are essential to thrive in today's economy. Luis also hosts a podcast with his girlfriend called Lasting Love Connection where they interview the top relationship experts to help couples and singles keep their love passionate and strong and enduring. Luis lives a life of gratitude and transparency. He has a heart of giving and an incredible drive for entrepreneurship, I’m honored that he joined us on the Positivity Effect. Luis’ story Born in Columbia during the height of the cocaine cartel Never knew his birth father and he lost his mother at the age of 5 years old Was adopted to the United States and simultaneously felt loved and confused when that relationship ended in divorce Through everything he had been through in life, he developed a drive to end human suffering around the age of 15 His journey led him to practice Buddhism for almost a decade After many years of practicing Buddhism, he realized he was missing human connection He fell in love with someone but she fell out of love with him and left. He used that experience to springboard himself to be a successful marriage coach in the non-profit arena Together, he and his now girlfriend Kamala developed two powerhouse internet resources: The Lasting Love Connection Thriving Launch Thought on becoming a monk: He was striving for perfection and realized he didn’t have to be. Luis’ thoughts on having an online business Took a long time to become okay with accepting payment Through deep reflection of the value he provides, he can internally accept what he charges for an hourly rate Recants on how it can be difficult sometimes to find that balance of generosity We have to learn to be okay with what we desire (in his case income from an online business) “Learn how to take care of yourself as an entrepreneur” Thoughts on life Why we need coaching/mentorship: “There are so many things we don’t know that we don’t know” At birth: we are safe and 100% provided for After birth: We begin the universal journey of learning to obtain what we want in life through tears, demands, & fighting. We learn “no” Everything is the highest order (i.e. our physical relationships and our spiritual relationships) Happiness is magnified when we can share it with someone Soul Food God gives regardless. “Be like God” – Dr. Wayne Dyer “Does the sun ever say to the flowers you owe me?” – Hafiz (Imagine what a love like that could do for the world) “Love is how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to ourselves” – Don Miguel Ruiz “Everything is energy” – Albert Einstein Luis believes we add our own meaning to the world Gratitude “Every time we take a breath, that’s the last time we breathe that breath in that moment” Book recommendation The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
Luis Congdon admits that he's not the most technical guy on the planet, but he's been through several audio setups so we learned from his production evolution. He hosts the Lasting Love Connection podcast, and the Thriving Launch podcast. His audio setup includes a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and MXL microphones. He and his co-host record in the same room, so we talked about how he optimizes that sound. These days he records into Logic Pro. Previously he tried recording with Ecamm recorder, Garage Band, and Adobe Audition, but he wasn't satisfied with any of them. He uses a Blue Yeti when he travels and he started the Podcasters Exchange Facebook group! Thanks Luis!

Influence with Brad Harker - Interviewing business leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
One of the most essential ingredients to influence and entrepreneurship is the ability to build rapport with your customers. While it is one thing to know where to find your customers, it's an entirely different thing to know how to build relationships that create value for them, and revenue for you. In this episode we discuss: How to convert a passion into a profitable business. How to find and build rapport with your target audience. The most commonly misunderstood truth about what customers actually want. How to make the transition from giving away free advice to becoming a highly-paid expert. Developing greater confidence in your business or expertise. Meet Luis Congdon My guest today is Luis Congdon. His unbelievable story begins in Columbia when, at the age of five, his mother was murdered leaving him both orphaned and homeless. At the age of eight, his life transformed as he was rescued by adoptive parents who brought him to the United States. By nature of the many struggles Luis faced with relationships, he gravitated towards the work of relationship experts, Dr.’s John and Julie Gottman. In addition to teaching their system, Luis was also a key player in one of the nation’s largest research projects looking into the components of successful marriage relationships. However, in spite such powerful experience, Luis struggled to find his niche, and again found himself homeless. While sleeping on friends couches, Luis discovered the power of online marketing and embraced a forum that would enable him to share his expertise with the world. Today, Luis is the host of Lasting Love Connection, a top rated iTunes podcast as well as thrivinglaunch.com. Luis is the creator of a powerful course for podcasters and owner of a popular Facebook podcast group. Luis went from sleeping on couches to making a six figure income via digital products, podcasting, Facebook and networking in only 10 months. Best of all, he is ready to teach you his secrets.
