What if everything you experience—stress, conflict, even judgment—is not about what's happening out there, but what's going on within you? That's the powerful lens Townsend Wardlaw offers as he guides us into a deeper understanding of consciousness and how it shapes every aspect of our lives. Through personal stories, vivid metaphors, and hard-won lessons, he shares how shifting your perspective can completely transform how you lead and live. You'll walk away with a new awareness of how unconscious scripts and internal projections influence your decisions, relationships, and company culture.

His insights offer practical ways to release control, lead from higher consciousness, and move from judgment to curiosity. This is a conversation that has the power to change how you see the world—and yourself. Townsend began his professional journey at 27, rapidly rising from outbound cold-calling for a small, long-distance reseller to the role of vice president of a Fortune 500 technology company in under six years. In 2002, he ventured into entrepreneurship, founding a sales consulting and outsourcing company that grew to $3 million in revenue.  After closing the company in 2009, Townsend dedicated himself to serving founders on their journey to growth and exit. He has coached 100s of leaders, and his efforts have generated over $1.5 billion in revenue and created more than $1 billion in generational wealth for their founders. What Townsend holds in the highest regard is his role in mobilizing over $7.5 billion in capital and contributions towards social and environmental organizations. Currently, Townsend serves as the trusted advisor to a select group of founders and the world's top coaches.

I used to write my "elevator pitch" in my phone's notes app before networking events. Like, word-for-word what I'd say if someone asked what I do. Because the thought of blanking out and stumbling over my words while some extrovert waited for me to get to the point? Absolutely not.Here's what my guest, Heather Nelson, taught me: the most successful business relationships aren't built by the person who talks the most.Topics Covered:Why traditional networking advice doesn't work for introvertsThe biggest networking mistakes that actually repel potential connectionsHow to transition from online-only business building to in-person relationshipsThe mindset shift that makes networking feel like making friends instead of sellingReal examples of connections that led to business growth and lasting friendshipsWhy the events you don't want to attend often create the biggest opportunitiesYour Top Takeaways:Instead of dreading networking events and forcing yourself into uncomfortable situations that drain your energy for days...You'll have a clear, sustainable system for building the professional relationships that actually matter. No more imposter syndrome. No more energy crashes. No more wondering if you're "doing it right."This means: You can advance your career and grow your business while staying true to who you are - coming home energized instead of completely depleted, with genuine connections that lead to real opportunities.Featured Guest:Heather Nelson, founder of The Connection Hive and host of Life Conversations with a Twist podcast. Heather has spent over a decade mastering the art of authentic networking and helps business owners build relationships that drive real results.Resources Mentioned:Free Calm Mind Blueprint: www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podConnect with Heather Nelson:Instagram: heathernelson.lifeWebsite: theconnectionhive.co LinkedIn: Heather Nelson TapiaWays to work with Samantha:1:1 coaching: Now accepting applications, 1 spot open.

"For me, the customer is like my girlfriend. If the customer is happy, I'm happy.” – Nguyen Van NamThis episode was such a blast to record. Not only was it filmed at the stunning House of Merlin, one of my favorite cocktail bars in Saigon, but I also got to sit down with Nguyen Van Nam, a talented young bartender who represents the next wave of Gen Z hospitality professionals in Vietnam.What struck me most about Nam is how honest and self-aware he is. He says he's an introvert—and maybe he is—but you wouldn't know it from how naturally he connects with people. It's a beautiful contradiction: someone who claims to be shy yet thrives in a high-contact, high-energy environment like bartending. That's what this episode is all about: shaking up stereotypes, mixing in some good humor, and serving a double pour of insight.What we talked about in this episode:Why Nam compares happy customers to happy relationshipsThe art and storytelling behind signature cocktails at House of MerlinGen Z in Vietnam: lazy but talented?Why so many young Vietnamese identify as introvertsGender and drinks: is there subtle sexism in how alcohol is served?What older generations think of how Gen Z spends money and worksChapters & Timestamps00:00 – Meet Nam & intro to House of Merlin04:00 – Mixing live: Signature cocktails, saffron, and Huynh's priceless reaction10:00 – Gender & drinks: Are Vietnamese bars subtly sexist?11:30 – Behind the bar: The reality of being a bartender vs. the glamor14:00 – Gen Z in Vietnam: Lazy but talented?

Has the pendulum swung back on FCPA enforcement - and will companies be ready when it hits? Is the DOJ's renewed push on FCPA enforcement a strategic shift - or just old wine in a new bottle?In this episode, Michael discusses the return of the Justice Department to the FCPA enforcement arena. In a significant development, DOJ announced the resumption of FCPA enforcement, accompanied by a new set of enforcement guidance principles. This guidance is more than policy - it's a statement of priorities and strategy that will shape how FCPA investigations and prosecutions unfold. While the number of attorneys in DOJ's FCPA Unit has declined, U.S. Attorneys' Offices across 94 districts now have increased authority to investigate and prosecute FCPA cases with less oversight. The result? Potentially broader, faster, and more decentralized enforcement. As always, the devil is in the details - and the June 9 DOJ FCPA Guidance Memo delivers plenty.You'll hear him discuss:DOJ's renewed emphasis on prosecuting individuals over corporations, especially when misconduct can't be directly linked to senior leadershipHow companies may now have stronger arguments to avoid liability if the wrongdoing is isolated to a small groupExpanded autonomy for U.S. Attorneys' Offices and what this means for enforcement volume and consistencyThe DOJ's prioritization of cases that directly impact U.S. national interests and corporate competitivenessIncreased scrutiny of links to cartels and transnational criminal organizations, including risks hidden in supply chains and third-party relationshipsThe push for faster, more efficient investigations to avoid the years-long white-collar case backlogGuidance on when facilitating payments, gifts, or travel fall under FCPA exceptions - and why these rarely matter in major prosecutionsWhy cooperation, early disclosure, and individual accountability may now be companies' best bet for avoiding charges altogetherThe DOJ's sharpened focus on national security sectors like defense, critical infrastructure, and technologyResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group
