New year, same diet BS. It's that time of year when the world is drowning in bad diet advice and unsustainable fitness trends. That's why we're teaming up with the Your Diet Sucks podcast to bring you a series of Your Diet Sucks episodes this January aimed at ditching diet culture and getting you ready to fuel your goaks,Hosts Kylee Van Horn, RDN, (@flynutrition3) and Zoë Rom (@carrot_flowers_z) combine years of research, professional expertise (as well as unprofessional nutrition mishaps!), and athlete experience to deliver evidence-backed explorations of nutrition—no fluff, no fads, just science. In this first episode of our Feisty Women's Performance x Your Diet Sucks collab, Zoe and Kylee discuss the history and trends around fasting, low-carb, and (can you even believe it?) NO-carb fueling for ultras. Sure, there is a rich history of fasting practices in most religions, but does that mean we need to become zealots when we're talking about optimal performance?In addition to diving into the historical context of fasting, Kylee and Zoe also talk about:How social media trends influence athlete behavior (for the sake of 'likes' and 'shares')The performance benefits and risks of fasting and low-carb, high-fat dietsThe impact of extreme dietary practices on endurance athletesFinding a shift towards more balanced fueling practices in endurance sportsWhy are athletes drawn to a mentality of doing more with less fuel? Even if you could do it, does that make it the best way to train and race? Even if you think there are short-term benefits, study after study confirms the long-term costs.So, instead of being swept up in the latest social media trend, find the fueling plan that works for both Present You and Future You.

What is reality? Are we in a simulation? Quantum Gravity Research Founder Klee Irwin joins the Know Thyself podcast today to explore these fundamental questions of existence. He dives deep into The Self-Simulation Hypothesis & Emergence Theory - which he has been studying extensively to solve these very questions. Klee provides insights into the fundamentals of these theories, posing the question of if this IS a simulation, is it: a simulation controlled by a being in another galaxy OR a projection from our future selves. Begging the question of who our future descendants are, if they are still human, and can we communicate with them.   This is a fascinating episode to open your mind to possible answers to perplexing questions of reality, and understand the extensive research Klee & his team are doing to bring these topics into mainstream scientific discussion.   SPONSOR: https://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyself Code: KNOWTHYSELF for 15% off (Currently only ships to US & Canada)   ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro 3:21 Klee's Mission to Discover the Mysteries of Life 7:20 Converting Money into Thought 11:06 The Self Simulation Theory 16:58 How the Future You Can Change the Present You 30:01 Why Reality May be Pixelated 36:22 An Inherent Universal Language 51:00 Decoding the patterns and mysteries of life 54:00 Merging with your Future Self 1:03:31 Why Klee is Exploring the Theory of Everything 1:11:36 Unpacking Emergence Theory 1:23:43 Reality as Information and Meaning through Symbolism 1:34:37 The Power of Story and Transcendence in "Lucy" 1:37:48 The Messiness of Free Will and the Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life 1:41:12 The Gaia Hypothesis and the Biosphere 1:44:35 The Goal of Evolutionary Biology and Human High Consciousness 1:48:03 Extraterrestrial Intelligence & Future Humans 1:58:17 Embracing Change and a Thought Experiment on the Nature of Reality 2:01:36 The Future of Collaboration Between Humans and Ultra Strong AI 2:08:39 The Mythos of Materialism and the Self-Simulation Hypothesis 2:12:11 The Simulation Hypothesis, Materialism, and other Competing Philosophies 2:15:32 The Relationship Between Information and Meaning 2:18:51 Transcending into a New Way of Being 2:24:45 Exploring Consciousness and Responsibility in the Pursuit of Truth 2:28:01 The Potential of Integrating with our Ancestral and Future Selves 2:37:41 Conclusion ___________   Klee Irwin is an author, physicist and businessman who serves as CEO and Chairman of Irwin Naturals Inc as well as Director of Quantum Gravity Research (QGR), a non-profit research institute he founded in 2009.   Founded by Klee in 1994, Irwin Naturals is an award-winning global natural supplement company providing alternative health and healing products sold in thousands of retailers ranging from Walmart to Whole Foods.

Welcome to "Beauty and the Biz", where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and the takeaways from the top 5 podcasts of 2021. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your aesthetic practice - What your patients are saying", and consultant to plastic surgeons to get them more patients and profits. LEARN MORE ➡️ https://bit.ly/3ykNLEa     ⬇️. ⬇️. ⬇️. Takeaways from the Top 5 Podcasts of 2021 Intro This episode is called Take-a-Ways from the Top 5 Podcasts of 2021 Another year is coming to an end and so is the Beauty and the Biz podcast. Since I do a weekly podcast, I reviewed the list of this year's podcasts and recapped strategies from the 5 most popular topics that you may want to consider for 2022. And here they are…drumroll please… 1. How to grow a selleable practice The objective is to set up your cosmetic surgical practice as a business so it's more predictable and profitable. That way, it's more enjoyable to go to every day, and it's  more attractive to other surgeons to buy when you're ready to exit. But, you have a challenge that keeps you from winning in the long run. As a surgeon, you were programmed to think in a certain fixed way. You had to think that way to become a great surgeon. However, that thinking is the opposite of how a businessperson thinks. In a cosmetic practice, you, the surgeon, are the technician of the surgery, so you focus on that because you're good at it and that's what you know. However, does that make for a sellable asset when you're ready to retire? Probably not, so you either have to work until you're ready to close the doors and get nothing back for your efforts, or you can set your practice up to make a profitable exit and enjoy your retirement by using these strategies: The first one is Mindset: Shift your thinking from a surgeon to a businessperson and “Operate your practice like it's for sale”. Then regularly ask yourself, “If I wanted to sell my practice tomorrow, what would I need to improve to get the most value for it?”   When I interview surgeons on this Podcast and we talk about them buying another surgeon's practice, the #1 value component they are looking for is a ready-made income stream. Because Buyers are looking for a practice's ability to generate cash with a degree of predictability and certainty. That's why it's difficult to value the surgical side of your practice. If you have been practicing with a “one and done” mindset, you're not developing much of a bond with your patients because it's such a short-term relationship. And, to keep your surgical side busy, you have to market and advertise to attract new surgical patients and that increases your overhead costs so other surgeons have to look at not just your revenues but also your overhead to make those revenues happen. Other surgeons know there's no certainty that those surgical patients will come back for more surgery or come back soon enough or often enough. However, if you can show a prospective buyer: Predictable revenues they can count on month after month that don't include YOU an increase in the lifetime value of your current cosmetic patients And how you generate more referrals and reviews organically while differentiating your practice from all the others, That's interesting AND valuable. Because now you have a predictable, systematic cosmetic revenue stream profit center that works without you and could easily be handed off to another surgeon. You do that by building up the non-surgical aspect of your practice. 2. Hiring the Right Patient Coordinator The difference between a 25% and 65% conversion rate is many, many thousands of dollars. It can also be the difference between a 6- or 7- or even 8-figure cosmetic practice. It's a game changer when you have a patient coordinator who knows how to convert so this position cannot be taken lightly. Converting consultations is an art and trained skill. It takes the right strategies, knowledge and then lots of practice to get good at confidently taking a “stranger prospect” to a paying cosmetic patient. So here are the traits a great patient coordinator must possess to ensure you have the right person representing you: For starters, the most successful patient coordinator looks, acts, and feels the part. So, Let's start with looks. This does not mean your coordinator needs to be gorgeous. This means they need to be likeable, presentable and congruent with the high standards you set for the practice because they have to connect with the public who will look to your coordinator as a role model for looking good and feeling confidant. The most successful patient coordinator has the right mindset. They believe in plastic surgery. They see how much it enhances the lives of your patients. They genuinely like working with prospective patients. They care about a prospective patient as a person and truly want to help them solve a problem they believe they have. They are not “selling”. They are serving your patients. They believe they are providing a valuable service to prospective patients who need guidance. They believe in the surgeon(s) they are representing, and they also believe in cosmetic rejuvenation as a gateway to personal self-fulfillment and happiness. A great patient coordinator does all they can to help the prospective patient get to a yes and they persevere in the face of resistance, because they don't see resistance as rejection. They see it as an opportunity to clear up the confusion on the patient's side, so they get to a yes and reach their ultimate goal which is to be happy and confident with their appearance. The most successful patient coordinator believes in themselves. They have an inner drive to do their best. They like a challenge and they like to succeed. They have a competitive edge so they hold themselves to a higher standard than most. They have the confidence it takes to win in this position because they believe in you, the surgeon and the results the patient will get when they say YES. That means they're not afraid to ask the patient tough questions for fear of being viewed as “pushy” and then they professionally ask for a decision when the time is right because they want to give the patients what they want and they also want to win. The most successful patient coordinator puts anxious prospective patients at ease so they open up and articulate what they want, why they want it and what it will take for the prospective patient to say YES. They reassure the patient they are in the right place and will be happy with their result once they decide to move forward with you. They have the people skills to make a prospective patient comfortable and trusting enough to make a decision to have their cosmetic procedure with you. They know how to stay focused on the patient's wants, fears, objections so they can artfully address the issues in the patient's mind that are stopping them from moving forward. This is the difference between an okay coordinator and a converting rock star. This takes confidence, courage and well thought out strategies to convert a prospective patient to a paid surgical procedure. 3. Attract affluent patients A common complaint I hear from plastic surgeons and their staff is their plastic surgery patients are so price-focused and ask them one thing: “How much is it …?” Or, during their consultation, they attempt to negotiate by telling you they can get the same thing cheaper from your competitors. So how do you respond to that? You DECIDE you no longer want cheap cosmetic patients so you no longer cater to them. You decide to attract a better quality patient by stepping up your game so you attract the patients who care more about your skill, expertise and reputation than they do about saving money. Here's the secret: Be, act and market as a higher-end practice does to attract affluent patients. Details count since the patient is looking for clues to justify spending more with you than your discounting competitors. That includes the quality of: Your standards for how your practice is run Your well-orchestrated & consistent processes Your updated Website Your excellent results shown in your photo gallery Your social media platforms showing off your skills as a surgeon, leader, speaker, chef, etc. Your PR efforts and pro-bono activities Your receptionist's friendly phone voice Your office location and furnishings Your positive online reviews Your videos on YouTube Your 5-star service mentality so the patient feels special throughout their experience with you and so on. This is how to Attract Affluent Cosmetic Patients because the further up the food chain you go – the less “needs driven” these patients are. It's all about what they WANT to do – not what they NEED to do. So they think differently than the cheap patients. They are are not buying by price and value. It's more about the intangibles and what this procedure means to them that is driving their decision. Affluent patients pay more because doing so makes them feel more like the person they either wish they were or envision themselves to be. At this level, you are hardly talking about the surgery. It's the intangibles of the surgery that attracts the affluent patients to you. The affluent patients are looking for superior service providers….even if it's based on perception. They believe they deserve the best, so they want the best because this group will pay a lot more to buy certainty. So, knowing this, what makes price disappear from the equation and YOU the only choice for affluent patients? The answer is YOU.  You stand out from the crowd by doing what others won't do or can't do. For example, Be The Expert. The affluent patient wants to go to the BEST so specialize in one procedure. Write a book about it. Make YouTube videos about it. Be interviewed explaining your unique approach to this procedure. Do 10x more of this procedure than the average surgeon does. Show off tons of transformational before/after photos of this procedure and encourage your patients to show off their own results on social media. The point is after enough communication, familiarity, reinforcement and social proof, the affluent patients now have sufficient trust in you to choose you as their go-to plastic surgeon. 4. Prevent problem patients As a cosmetic surgeon, you get all the risk when dealing with the cosmetic patient. You hope the prospective patient is hearing you when you say: “I can't make it perfect, but I can make it a lot better.” The good news is most of your patients are friendly, reasonable, and realistic. But the few patients who aren't, can wreak havoc with your reputation and mental health. What can trip you up are your own emotions during the consultation process. The two major ones being ego and greed. It can be difficult to say no to prospective patients who want to give you money. That's completely understandable. Same thing with your ego. It's so much easier during the consultation process to ignore your gut telling you to beware than to say no. When interviewing surgeons about problem patients, they repeatedly say, “I knew there were red flags, but I thought I could manage them.” I suggest you and your staff come up with a Red Flags Checklist that becomes protocol so if you can check any of the boxes, you DO NOT move forward. This helps take the emotion out of it. However, you can still end up with a post-op patient who is not happy. It happens so I suggest the following steps: First, listen without interrupting. Sometimes it's just a complaint the patient wants to share with you, get off their chest and move on. Acknowledge without getting defensive. Offer a sincere apology for how they feel. Not for any wrongdoing on your part, but you are sorry they are not happy. Ask Questions to figure out how serious the situation is. You are looking for WHY they feel the way they do and what it is they want from you. They may surprise you and have a simple request that would satisfy them. And lastly, Do Something! Make it right! Don't just promise to make it right, actually take a proactive step in the right direction. Offer solutions such as cortisone shots, lymphatic massage, a touch up in the office, comp your fees or discount OR fees to go back into surgery. Then thank them for being reasonable and working with you to rectify the situation.       And lastly, #5 of the top 5 posts this year is 5. What google said about attracting plastic surgery patients Organic reach and advertising results have decreased significantly and that's making it a whole lot more difficult and expensive for you to attract new patients. And I'm thinking, if plastic surgeons can't market and advertise to consumers, how the heck are you supposed to grow your practice? To find the answer for you, I did what I always do… I googled it and here are the 6 ways google says you should grow your practice: 1. Get more google reviews but google wants the reviews to provide useful, constructive feedback that is detailed, specific and honest. 2. Enhance your online image Update your website, be sure it's mobile friendly and Include social media buttons so patients get to know you better and you can show off your skill with lots of before/after photos and videos of FAQs for each procedure. Also, add fresh, updated content to as many different platforms as possible to increase your footprint on the Internet. 3. Don't Miss Out on the Social Media Platforms You may not understand or care about social media or you don't want to put in the time, but it's become a must-have patient attraction channel. I recommend you assign a staff person or hire someone specifically to follow you around with an iphone or ipad and record you doing “the day in the life of a plastic surgeon”. Your staff can then turn the footage into interesting content on different platforms. 4. Positive or negative…..respond to reviews You are bound to get some bad reviews. It's just the cost of doing business with consumers. Your best approach is to respond quickly, stay professional and apologize for the situation (not for your work) and offer to talk it over since your overall goal is patient satisfaction. 5. Train your staff Your staff will make or break your practice so please get the right people on the bus, get them in the right seats, give them the training they need to succeed and then hold them accountable. For example, Your receptionist must have the skills to Present YOU as the BEST choice for the caller who has many options; To Answer the question, “How much is it?” so the caller can move forward to booking the appointment; as well as to Convert the caller to a booked appointment! And Your coordinator must have the skills to: Understand the patient's true wants and needs and How to handle a patient who wants to negotiate and How to professionally convert a consultation to a paid procedure These 2 pivotal points in the patient experience make up HALF of your revenues. Please be sure your staff is professionally trained to convert callers and consults. And the 6th way to get more patients per google is to …. 6. Build strong relations with existing patients and Referrals will follow. It changes everything when you have a “patients for life” mindset. When you see your patients as friends and family and treat them with respect, they grow your practice for you. As Maya Angelo says, “They won't remember what you told them. They won't remember what you showed them. But they WILL remember how you made them feel!"   Please make your patients feel important, wanted and appreciated. These happy patients will be your patients for decades and return for more as the aging process continues. They will refer their family members and friends who will then refer their family members and friends and so on and so on so your practice grows organically with preferred patients you want.

Where do you want to be? In a few years? In 20 years? The future is a funny thing. We are simultaneously on the way to it while preparing for it. And if you don’t watch out, we spend so much time in the preparation, we forget to enjoy the little things along the way. Today we are going to talk about retiring. I’m going to share with you how to plan for your later years with on-going income and enjoyable activity levels. I’m also going to address those of you who think it’s too late - you are destined to spend your older years pinching pennies. And I’m also going to tell you why discontinuing all work a bad idea, in my opinion. No discussion of the future is complete without a consideration of the present. If you are unhappy now, it’s unlikely you will be magically happy then. If you are frustrated or bored with your life now, it’s very likely this will continue. The answer is NOT in a change of circumstances someday. The answer is in changing your mind TOday.  We must learn to enjoy the meaningful moments of this life as they threaten to pass you by. And pass you by they will. You can never hold on to the moment, but time is a force that marches on. Physicists tell us there are four primary forces in nature, gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear and strong nuclear. But TIME is a stronger force than all of them. We have found ways to experiment, modify and overcome the four physical forces, but we have never (and I think WILL never) learned to overcome time - to stop it, slow it, travel backward in it, accelerate forward in it. Time marches on. The moments continue to pass no matter how much we cling to them. New time is constantly being created at the same pace regardless of our yearning to more quickly get through certain phases in our lives.  A discussion of the afterlife or even previous lives for that matter is WAAAAY outside the scope of this show, but one thing we can all agree on: We have this life. And we have choices about what to do with it. Some of those choices may no doubt be influenced by whatever you believe about what comes next. But it is a choice nonetheless.  So let’s make some good choices. They won’t be the same for all people but they can all be good, wise, prudent, and effective. We just have to start making them.  How to contact us www.RogerBlankenship.com Facebook.com/flippingamericamedia Twitter and Instagram @FlippingAmerica Call our National Comment Line: 404-369-1018, ext 1.

The topic deserves a more complete discussion with your financial and tax advisors. What I hope to do here is simply lay out some of the principles for your consideration.  I’m not giving advice. I’m teaching principles. Each person’s situation and circumstances will be different so you will need to consult with a professional who is familiar with your life and agree on the specifics of a plan.    Let’s first spend a few minutes on the PRESENT: You have two eyes. Using this as a metaphor, Your life balance will be found by keeping one eye on the future and the other eye on the present. Notice you do not have a third eye with which you can dwell on the past. What is past is done. It can’t be changed. Some of you will say, “but what about the mistakes I made?” There were lessons learned that should be a part of your present. If you continue to dwell on the mistakes of the past you have not yet distilled the lessons from them. Figure it out, close that chapter and move on. Some will say “but what about the injustice done to me?” This is a surefire way to live a miserable existence. The injustices done to you are also in the past. They cannot be changed. The only thing you can control is your response to them. And they ONLY healing that can move your life in a positive direction is forgiveness.  “But what they did was horrible.”  “But what they did was unforgiveable.” “But what they did was….” It’s not easy. It’s not emotional. It’s not even fully logical. It’s just simply necessary.  “Well I tried to forgive, but it didn’t really work.” Here’s a little secret. Forgive over and over again. Remind yourself daily, hourly, however long it takes for as long as you continue to remember their deeds against them. As surely as time marches on, in time the pain will subside a little each passing day until the forgiveness you have declared becomes a reality in your soul.  The only more certain happiness trap you can enter is to live inside past injustice done to someone else by a third party. Allow yourself into this mental mindset and escape will be difficult.  So one eye on the present includes the accumulation of life lessons, fading memories of difficult forgivenesses, and a steadfast focus on joy. We can do multiple episodes of this show just talking about the pursuit of happiness, but since the show’s theme is real estate and entrepreneurship we will limit ourselves to a briefer treatment.  Much of our life is spent in pursuit. Pursuit of pleasure, pursuit of money, pursuit of power, pursuit of fame, pursuit of legacy. There is nothing inherently wrong with inner drive. Without it we would be lifeless aimless blobs. And there is nothing inherently wrong with the natural progression in our pursuits. Although one could study the wisdom literature from an early age and realize that many, if not most of the priorities people have in their lives are pointless, it seems that we all must, to some degree, learn these things first-hand. While on this journey, you will do well to consider the things that bring true satisfaction, meaning, and enjoyment into your life. And while we all need enough money to live and eat, we all realize sooner or later that money isn’t everything. The flashy lifestyle many crave reflects a lack of self-confidence, a lack or maturity, or both. And I know the saying, “money can’t buy you happiness but I’d rather be miserable in a Mercedes than a Chevy.” What I’m saying here is money is fine. Nothing wrong with it. But when it becomes the love of your life, problems ensue. Figure out what truly brings meaning to life. Read books by older people on the subject. Study the wisdom literature. For example, read and understand the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. I know it will seem strange and somewhat depressing at first glance. It is translated from ancient poetry, so it’s not going to read like your favorite novel. Keep reading.    What you are going to learn sooner or later is true life satisfaction comes from: Basic needs fulfilled Meaningful work Loving relationships   Make these the basics of your life pursuits and you are on the way to joy. Choose a different path and, well, I’ll see you again in a few years when you realize I’m right. And hey, I didn’t discover this. I’m just sharing with you the wisdom of a thousand generations. Take the word of millions of people who have gone before, or go on and figure it out for yourself. You get to choose.  The Future Imagine your life Start at the end and work backwards. Family, legacy, impact, charities, etc.  Don’t be too concerned with the details. If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans. There are going to be twists and turns. And this destination you imagine may not be the most important plot element to your story. What will your lifestyle cost? Start with the best case scenario. Where do you live? Or do you envision kind of a snowbird lifestyle? Are you taking other vacations? Travelling? RV-ing?  Assume an 8% return on your investments. How much do you need to have invested in order to afford that lifestyle? Let’s do the math. Suppose you would like to end up making $10,000 per month. That plus the pittance known as social security should keep you alive and ticking right? If your home is paid for, your taxes are relatively low, this should afford you a reasonable lifestyle. That’s $120,000 per year. Divide that by .08 and voila, you need to have $1,500,000 invested. Man THAT sounds like a lot. If I saved $10,000 per year I would have to save for 150 years! Real estate to the rescue. Buy 10 houses that end up being worth 1.5m. You can use debt to buy them. Allow for inflation so start out buying houses for $80,000. Rent should be $800. In ten years the house (3% appreciation) is worth more than $100,000.  You get the idea. Your tenants pay down the mortgage. The value is increasing. Rents rise slightly. This is a solid plan to get there.    But I’m already in my 50’s. I don’t have time to buy 10 houses and accumulate.  What do you have? Get a better return.  Cheap houses Remote wholesaling Flip properties on the side, NOT to enhance lifestyle but to put into income-producing properties.  Get into multi-family. Syndication. Multiple passive income streams Stocks $1m, 8%, 80,000 Real Estate $40m, 8% 3.2m Income from business cash flows, 2m Never Stop Working Not a mandate.  Not a law Not normal. Stop working, start shriveling Mind Muscles Spirit Slow down, yes, enjoy the fruits of your labors and your wisdom, yes more than earlier. Stop? Never.

Whether you’re looking to reinvent yourself or simply step into more fulfillment, the greatest disharmony stems from standing at the crossroads between 1. who you are and 2. who you want to be. You’ll often feel like there’s more than one of you. Well, there is. Introducing The Three You’s: The Present You encompasses who you are right now. You define yourself by the current work you do, the people you interact with, and the activities you engage in. Hello, mirror.   The Public You is closely aligned with The Present You. It’s the version that is understood by and made accessible to the people around you. If you’ve worked your whole life in real estate, it’s fair to assume that your neighbors know you as “the real estate guy or gal.”   The Pending You is the person you’re seeking to grow and develop. This is the person waiting in the wings, itching to make his or her debut. This is the person you scream daily self-success affirmations at in the morning shower, and point at in the mirror and shout, “You were made for more! The world is your oyster! You eat dragons for breakfast!”   Clearing the pathway for The Pending You to take center stage is vital. You are literally working a transition to present a new “you” to the world. That’s why it’s so hard. A Few Additional Mindset Shifts: I accept I will never have security. Peace, yes. Security, no. Sometimes you have to move on in order to move up. The credibility isn’t in the teaching, the credibility is in the living. Why I’ve had success in my career: I make ideas happen. It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. Execute. Life is not meant to be a one-player game. Free Resource: Get your copy of my Brand You Blueprint.

On this week... We got that Wow Thing! Red Velvet's Seulgi, Gfriend's SinB, G.Idles' Soyeon, and the lovely Chung-Ha, formerly of I.O.I., all come together for the collab of the year! Last year brought us Bermuda Triangle and Honey Bee, and I definitely categorize this one on that level of hype. I love the Jeff Lorber Fusion sample, the choreography is fun, and all 4 girls absolutely kill it! For sure up there in the Best of the Year category. In addition, I also threw in some of my favorite cross-agency collabs in as well. It's always a treat to see different artists make music together. Plus, new Tiffany! She continues to kill it in her U.S. solo debut with "Teach Me," which I think could garner some decent mainstream success stateside. We also have to play some new GOT7. Their new album, "Present: You" is amazing and has great solo tracks from each member which I love. So take all that with some mellow RnB ballads and electronic dance vibes and we got ourselves a show! Enjoy! Insta: www.instagram.com/kmusiceveryday iTunes: apple.co/2gOchE7 BSKP036 Tracklist: 1.

If you've ever entertained the idea of re-branding your existing business, or making the leap into launching your own personal brand business, this episode is for you. Part of the reason there's so much anxiety in this type of transition is that it almost feels as if there is more than one 'you' ... well, there is. There are actually three: The Present You, The Public You, and The Pending You. In this episode, I help you differentiate between these three you's and give you a strategy on how to lead with The Pending You. Get Your Copy of The NEW Pivot Profiles » Liked this episode?
