In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Chancellor K. Jackson—author, educator, coach, and entrepreneur—to discuss The Power of Becoming: 7 Pillars of Growth and Empowerment. Chancellor opens up about his transformative journey from football player to global educator, and how a harrowing 14-day detainment in China became the catalyst for radical self-growth and authorship. They dive deep into the importance of radical ownership, resilience, and purposeful expression, and how Chancellor now empowers aspiring authors to tell their stories—and publish bestsellers. About the Guest:Chancellor K. Jackson is a former college athlete turned international educator and bestselling author. His debut, 14 Days in Beijing, chronicled his wrongful detainment in China and catapulted him into the spotlight. His upcoming book, The Power of Becoming, distills his life lessons into 7 core pillars: discernment, success, happiness, healing, confidence, adversity, and ownership. Today, he helps young writers become bestselling authors, proving that everyone has a story worth telling. Key Takeaways: Growth often requires discomfort—transformation isn't always pretty, but it's powerful. Radical ownership and accountability are foundational to becoming your best self. Resilience isn't just about bouncing back, it's about evolving and finding new purpose. Purposeful expression—through writing—can be healing and life-changing. Legacy is built not just by what we achieve, but by how we uplift others in the process.   Connect with Chancellor K. Jackson: https://www.korlehpublicationsllc.com/ Search Chancellor K.

Are we going in the right direction as communicators? In an era of dramatic policy shifts, cultural upheaval, and a fractured media landscape, how do we trudge onward through the muck without losing our way? Weighty questions indeed. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Elie Jacobs, founding partner of Purposeful Advisors, to tackle the thorny issues facing today's communications professionals. With over two decades of experience in public policy and advocacy, Elie brings a wealth of insights to the table. From his early days in President Clinton's post-presidential office to his current role advising startups and mid-size companies, Elie has witnessed firsthand the evolution of the communications profession. This wide-ranging conversation covers critical topics like the impact of AI on truth and objectivity, the challenges of maintaining purpose in a "perma-crisis" environment, and the delicate balance between business imperatives and societal responsibilities. Elie and Dan discuss the pitfalls of chasing trends versus staying true to core business objectives, and debate the proper role of communicators in shaping corporate policies on contentious issues. Throughout the episode, Elie emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, curiosity, and maintaining perspective in an increasingly polarized world. He argues for a return to fundamentals - focusing on clear business purposes rather than getting caught up in the latest social media firestorms. The discussion also touches on generational divides in the workplace and how early career experiences shape communicators' approaches to risk and decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned PR pro or just starting out in the field, this episode offers valuable food for thought on the current state and future direction of strategic communications. Elie's candid insights and Dan's probing questions combine to create a thought-provoking exploration of our profession's most pressing challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh perspective on navigating the complex waters of modern corporate communications. Listen in and hear about...  Navigating the perma-crisis era as a communications professional How early career experiences shape strategic advisory skills Balancing business imperatives with societal responsibilities Critical thinking's vital role in the age of AI-driven information Adapting communication strategies to rapid political shifts Purposeful advising: focusing on a company's core mission Nuanced approaches to diversity and inclusion in corporate settings Notable Quotes On Career Beginnings: "The way I got into this was, you know, just sheer dumb luck. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I finished school. And then 911 happened and I picked up with cliche duffel bag of clothes and a duffel bag of GMAT books and LSAT books and GRE books and went off to Israel to try to figure out what to do." - Elie Jacobs [2:30 - 3:57] On the Path to Communications: "I don't know that. You know, people talk about having a calling, right? Some people have calling calling to the pulpit, regardless of what religion it is. Other people have callings to be doctors, other people have callings to be teachers. I'm not sure I've met anybody who has a calling to be a lawyer. I don't think I've ever met somebody who has a calling to be a public relations or communications specialist." - Elie Jacobs [6:48 - 7:15] On Representing Important Figures: "The only thing that was really said to us was you represent him, which also means you're representing his wife, who was then the senator. So that kind of weighs on you a little bit." - Elie Jacobs [12:36 - 12:45] On Dealing with High-Pressure Situations: "Once Bill Clinton completely loses his temper at you, your perspective on things changes a great deal. He lost it at me because I happened to be. I. I was just in the way." - Elie Jacobs [13:40 - 13:50] On the Importance of Critical Thinking: "Critical thinking is something that we actually have to call out now as something that, okay, we, we really need. Critical thinkers used to be almost a given that, you know, you, one of the reasons why either you are hired for an important job or, or that, you know, when you come out of college or wherever you've been, that, you know, critical thinking is part of the resume." - Dan Nestle [18:56 - 19:19] On the Challenges of Objective Truth in Modern Times: "The concept of objective truth has been shattered over the last 10 years. And it's not just, you know, misinformation and creative hyperbole and truth and, you know, truthful lies or whatever the term was that they came up with in the first Trump administration." - Elie Jacobs [27:04 - 27:18] On the Evolution of Media and Truth: "For the better part of three centuries or more. There were editors who present who basically worked on something that was book length every single day and that was the news." - Elie Jacobs [43:02 - 43:12] On the Role of Purpose in Business: "When we talk about purposeful, we're talking about, we're going to help you figure out what your purpose is. Going back to Simon Sinek's golden circle of why, how and what." - Elie Jacobs [51:43 - 51:52] On the Importance of Business Fundamentals: "There has to be a business imperative. You can only be good for society if you're good at business." - Elie Jacobs [1:05:05 - 1:05:11] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Elie Jacobs Purposeful Advisors | Website Elie Jacobs | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

What happens when life's challenges become your greatest teachers? In this revealing episode of Life in Transition, host Art Blanchford welcomes Mike Huber, a mental performance coach with a powerful story of transformation. Mike candidly shares his journey through two pivotal life transitions: becoming a father and recovering from gambling addiction. "I've learned about myself that I am much more of an introvert than I am an extrovert... having that one-to-one relationship of like I'm here to listen, I want to understand you. I don't want to judge you, I want to help you." This philosophy now guides his work with young athletes after leaving a 20-year career to pursue his passion for sports psychology. Why did he make such a dramatic change? His recovery journey provided both the courage and clarity to pursue a more authentic path.Art and Mike dig into the pressures facing youth in competitive sports today and how Mike's approach emphasizes enjoyment over winning at all costs. But can career ambitions and parental responsibilities truly coexist? Mike offers practical insights on this delicate balance, sharing the two tools that transformed his life: therapy and mindfulness meditation. From panic attacks to purpose, Mike's story illustrates how vulnerability becomes service. Each time we share our struggles, he suggests, we cut their power in half. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder: our suffering finds meaning when it helps others navigate similar challenges. Isn't that what transition is ultimately about—transforming our pain into purpose?Michael Huber is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® whose mission is to help young athletes become confident problem solvers. Mike entered the sport psychology field inspired by his experiences as a parent, youth sports coach, and compulsive gambler in recovery. He has experienced many challenging transitions, including fatherhood, recovery, divorce, and entrepreneurship. Mike aims to be of service to others by sharing his story.

That's the story we're exploring today with my returning guest Eryn Lynum. I interviewed Eryn in 2017, (eight years ago!) about her first book, 936 Pennies; it was her very first podcast guest appearance ever!

Now Eryn is a Bible teacher, certified master naturalist, and host of the wildly successful Nat Theo Podcast, where she helps families and children discover God's truth through His creation. In this episode, we trace her journey—from saying yes to an unfamiliar opportunity, to watching God bring her dream to life in the most unexpected way. In this episode, you'll learn:

In this conversation, Dr. Zonzie McLaurin eloquently shares that there is so much power in those sacred 15 minutes of just being in quiet that can change the trajectory of your leadership and how you lead. Through the story of Michael, who spent years climbing the corporate ladder, carefully crafting a persona of unwavering confidence and flawless expertise.Then he to a pivotal leadership retreat. In those fifteen sacred minutes of inner turmoil, Marcus made a decision that would transform everything. When his turn came, he spoke of his struggle with anxiety, of nights spent doubting his worthiness for his position, of his fear that authenticity would be seen as weakness.The discussion encourages you to just be your authentic self as you lead and watch what will happen to those that you are leading and yourself. Takeaways:What you fear will diminish your power actually amplifies it. When you lead from behind masks, we create environments where others feel they must mask themselves as well. When you dare to be seen—fully, vulnerably, authentically—you create spaces where others can do the same.

This is an important one for all soon-to-be and already established mothers. On today's show, we get really gritty about the process of becoming a mother - and the opportunity of amazing transformation that CAN take place from it - but sometimes is not, due to lack of support, proper expectations, and overall societal failure at valuing mothers and children in general. We use two posts to guide the conversation, each detailing an aspect of how coming into and through motherhood carries with it important steps of pain and challenge that are GOOD and PURPOSEFUL and OK to feel. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one. This episode is sponsored by:Redmond Salt >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 15% on your order.Needed >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order.Resources From This Episode:Watch the I Am Documentary hereCheck out @clairefagin on InstagramSee @Lbreggy's post about postpartumStay Connected With Us:Healthy As A Mother: www.healthyasamother.comInstagram: @healthyasamotherpodcastDr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comInstagram: @drleahgordonDr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comInstagram: @morganmacdermott

This episode covers sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. Please prioritize your well-being while listening.What would you do if you had more courage? This question sits at the heart of our illuminating conversation with Dr. Margie Warrell, global thought leader on brave leadership and author of "The Courage Gap." The courage gap affects us all, but particularly women. We explore how imposter syndrome manifests as underestimating our abilities while overestimating dangers. As Margie powerfully states, "We shouldn't be trying to prove our worth. We need to just own our worth." This simple shift in perspective can liberate us to pursue meaningful goals with confidence rather than doubt.Through vulnerable personal stories, including surviving an armed robbery, Margie demonstrates her transformative "Three Ps" approach to reframing difficult situations. By choosing narratives that make us feel more Powerful, Positive, and Purposeful, we can create generative stories that shape our future rather than keeping us stuck. "You create your stories. But your stories then create you," she explains, offering practical wisdom for catching and redirecting unhelpful narratives. By giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, whether as parents, professionals, or creators—we open doors to experiences and growth we might otherwise miss.What pivot might be revealing your path today? Listen in and discover how embracing courage in the face of uncertainty can transform your life's journey.Guest Bio:Dr. Margie Warrell is a globally recognized expert in leadership and human behavior, renowned for her ability to help leaders and organizations unlock untapped potential by countering the underlying dynamics that inhibit bold thinking, decisive action, and transformative growth.A passionate advocate for advancing women in leadership, Margie has contributed to government roundtables, spearheaded initiatives to elevate more women to decision-making roles, and co-led Korn Ferry's Power of All program during her tenure as a Senior Partner in their CEO & Enterprise Leadership Institute.Margie's latest book, The Courage Gap (Jan ‘25), distills her decades of research and experience, providing a roadmap for closing the gap between potential and performance. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Margie balances her professional endeavors with her love of adventure. A lifelong hiker and aspiring barista, she finds inspiration scaling mountains, including summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro with her husband and four children.Connect with Margie:Website, LinkedIn Connect with Theresa and Ivana:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: tsc-consultants.com LinkedIn @treeconti, Insta @tscconsultants Ivana, Courageous Being: courageousbeing.com LinkedIn @ivipol, Insta @courbeingSITP team, Step Into The Pivot: stepintothepivot.com LinkedIn @step-into-the-pivot, YouTube @StepIntoThePivot

Are your performance reviews a dreaded annual event? In this episode, Andrea and Michelle challenge the traditional approach to performance evaluations. They reveal why many businesses are missing the mark and how to transform reviews into valuable developmental conversations.   Discover the pitfalls of event-based reviews, comparing employees against each other, and relying solely on self-evaluations. Learn how to shift from judgment to development with regular check-ins, monthly one-on-ones, and a focus on future growth. Andrea and Michelle discuss the importance of setting clear expectations, delegating tasks for skill development, and recognizing discretionary effort.   Takeaways   Performance reviews need to be re-evaluated for effectiveness. Many organizations are still not meeting employee needs in reviews. Continuous feedback is more beneficial than annual reviews. Employees prefer clarity on expectations over numerical rankings. Regular check-ins can enhance performance and engagement. Performance reviews should be an ongoing process, not a one-time event.   For more resources on developing leadership skills visit us at Revela.

Episode Description In this energizing episode of The Daily Boost, Scott Smith introduces a surprisingly simple approach to happiness that's "hidden in plain sight." Drawing from a recent coaching session, Scott shares his powerful "Six Passions" framework—categories of activities that bring fulfillment when incorporated into daily life. Instead of seeking complex solutions, Scott offers listeners an immediately actionable system for identifying what truly matters. With his trademark "common sense" approach, Scott explains how dedicating even a few minutes daily to activities within these six categories can dramatically improve happiness and satisfaction. This episode delivers both practical wisdom and the motivation to implement it today. Featured Story During a Face Your Passion Coaching call, Scott was asked to explain his "Six Passions" concept—a framework he developed by categorizing activities that make him happy. Rather than focusing on complex solutions, Scott demonstrates how simply identifying and spending time on things you enjoy each day leads to greater fulfillment. The real secret? It's not complicated at all—just common sense that's often overlooked. Key Takeaways Happiness often comes from doing simple things you enjoy daily, not complex strategies Scott's "Six Passions" framework consists of six categories: Personal, Purposeful, Connection, Spiritual, Abundance, and Legacy Personal passions include activities you personally enjoy (motorcycles, music, pets) Purposeful passions involve activities that fulfill your sense of purpose in life Connection passions ensure you maintain human relationships and community Spiritual passions address your spiritual needs and growth Abundance passions involve tending to financial and other resources Legacy passions focus on building the life story you want to leave behind Taking even a little time for each category daily leads to greater happiness End each day by asking "How's my life going?" and make adjustments as needed Memorable Quotes "If you just take the time to do stuff you like to do, at least a little bit every single day, you're going to be happier than if you don't take the time and you just spend your days doing the stuff you don't like to do." "You can't have a great legacy if you don't build a great legacy." "At the end of the day, the older I get... it's getting out of bed. It's do the next right thing. Next right thing for you." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify your six passion categories and what activities fall within each one Dedicate at least a little time every day to activities in each category End each day with a 60-second check-in, asking "How's my life going?" and adjust as needed Connect With Scott Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
