#241 - What if the biggest obstacle to your success is your own mind? That's the provoking thought we unravel in this discussion. My husband Marc and I are going into the depths of our subconscious, uncovering hidden beliefs that may be keeping us stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and underachievement. Striving for perfection, for instance, is a common trap many of us fall into, setting unattainable standards that leave us feeling  inadequate. But what if we told you that progress, not perfection, is the true measure of success?We challenge these limiting beliefs that are sneaky, and encourage you to focus on alternative thoughts. We hope this conversation helps you recognize and challenge the beliefs that are holding you back, equipping you to embrace a new perspective and unlock your true potential. So, let's embark on this journey of self-discovery together and reshape our realities, one belief at a time to live outside of our comfort zones. Because after all, isn't life itself a beautiful risk?Resources Mentioned: How to Never Feel Stuck in Business or Life Again: https://youtube.com/live/bAOYnJM9_GM Connect with Marc on: Instagram or YouTube Get the latest details on my upcoming productivity planner for moms.

Donald Miller: How to Grow Your Small Business Donald Miller is The New York Times bestselling author of Building a StoryBrand and Business Made Simple. He has helped thousands of businesses grow with his powerful framework. In 2010, Don started the business he'd always dreamed of. Although his business was doing ok, he quickly realized it wasn't what he thought it would be. Everything depended on him, and he was drowning in the mundane day-to-day. For years, his business struggled to produce dependable, predictable results. Over years of fits and false starts, Don grew his business from nothing to nearly $20 million. In the end, he realized there were six key parts of a business, and if they were managed well, the business would fly far and fast. He's captured those lessons in his book How to Grow Your Small Business: A 6-Step Plan to Help Your Business Take Off*. A huge percentage of businesses fail before they have any significant success. One key trigger is failure is a marketing that doesn't work. In this conversation Donald and I discuss how to power the marketing engine of your business by using the key elements of the StoryBrand framework. Key Points Most small businesses think more about how their marketing will look rather than what their marketing will say. People are attracted to what helps them survive and thrive…and it helps to communicate those message simply. People buy products and services to solve problems, not because they care that much about the business. The customer is the hero. Never play the hero; always play the guide. People who are insecure talk about themselves. People who are confident talk about others. Talk about yourself only in the context of how it helps the customer.

I wanted to cover a subject that I feel is a bit underrepresented, especially in the dynamic of a professional setting– and that is the subject of conflict! There's an art to fighting, and I'm not referring to Martial Arts when I say that. I'm talking about the art of arguing with grace when conflict does arise. Even when conflict makes us uncomfortable (as it should!), there may be valuable information and resolution that we leave on the table when we don't know how to argue with grace.In no way am I advocating for arguing, any behavior that crosses boundaries or hurts people. Conflict is a natural part of life, and in this episode I work on outlining the healthiest practices and approaches to making it far more constructive than it is destructive.In this episode, we break down…Why Organizational Silence is one of the biggest threats to the workplace and how it functions.What the Harvard Business Review has to say about relationships and how silence is one of the leading indicators of a serious rift. How to speak up in a way that promotes innovation and growth, without being disrespectful of others.How to remain humble in conflict to avoid getting triggered and turning the conflict towards the more unproductive side of things.Specific steps to take that will improve the healthiness of the conflicts that do arise in your life.Key Quotes & Conclusions…“I love the aspect of having impassioned opinions about things because what it does is it sparks more curiosity, more thoughts, and more ideas, which can be turned into action.”“Now more than ever, people've got a boldness. Because we've been stripped of some of the distractions and some of the structure in how we're working.”“If you're one of those leaders of a project, it's so very important that the vision is clear. I say this often– but I feel there's wasted time when we're not clear on what we're building.”“No yelling or raising of voices. That doesn't really help anybody. As a leader, you want to make sure everyone has a cool head.”“I believe in whiteboarding the conflict. Write out what the issue is, and what the scenario is. That addresses what the problem or issue is rather than blaming the person.”Resources Mentioned:How a Culture of Silence Eats Away at Your CompanyWORK WITH ASHLEY:Wanna Mastermind Together?

You don't have to wait for empathy to strike. You can intentionally choose to engage in what my guest today calls Purposeful Empathy to change the dynamic of any interaction. But how? And how do you maintain your own boundaries when being empathic is part of your job?  Today, my guest, Anita Nowak, shares what purposeful empathy is, how and when to engage it, and even how to step back and reclaim your boundaries when empathy could burn you out. We both share personal stories of when we've actively chosen empathy in tough situations and how it transformed the exchange. We discuss the physiological changes to  our bodies that occur when we are engaged in empathy - and how empathogens, or certain psychedelics that have been shown to increase empathy, could be applied for therapeutic treatments to heal trauma, control aggression, or other instances where human connection can be challenging.  Key Takeaways:We are born empathetic creatures, that is how our species has survived. For those who think they aren't empathetic, that muscle has atrophied and can be rebuilt again. Our brains cannot be in a state of anxiety or stress and in the state of empathy simultaneously.There has been a resurgence of research on the study of psychedelics and the potential it has for therapy. Previous research showed a positive relationship between taking these drugs, being accompanied by a trained professional, and outcomes as a result.  "When it comes to the way we design our world, the way we design public policy, the way that we think about foreign aid, the way we think about how we treat each other and our families and our relationships across political divides, that we need to engage in empathy on purpose." —  Anita Nowak"If you're feeling triggered by emotions, and you want to down regulate or self regulate, one of the best on ramps to empathy is through a little visit of gratitude." —  Anita Nowak"We, as human beings, want a sense of belonging by nature. That's how we survived as a as Homo sapiens. We really need to draw on that." —  Anita Nowak About Anita Nowak, PhD, Author of Purposeful EmpathyAnita Nowak, PhD is passionate about leveraging empathy for personal, organizational and social transformation.

Imagine building a search firm from scratch to $4M in billings. An incredible achievement, right? Now imagine that same business suddenly imploding from 14 team members down to just one. How would you bounce back from such a devastating loss? Would you have the heart and will to rebuild?   This is the story of my special guest, Mark Phillips. Mark is the founder and CEO of HireEducation and in this interview, he shares his journey with unflinching honesty and self-reflection. He takes ownership of the behaviours and decisions that led to the decline of the business. Based on the lessons he learned from both his successes and failures, Mark is rebuilding his business and himself - this time on stronger foundations.   Mark got into recruiting in the late 90s and has specialized in the Education Technology industry since 2006.  He launched his firm HireEducation in 2010 and by 2019 he built it into a $4M per year business. That same year, he faced his biggest challenge.  You will now hear what he's doing differently to build an even more successful business that he enjoys a whole lot more. Episode Outline and Highlights [02:34] How Mark knows our mutual friend, Jordan Rayboy. [04:38] Thoughts on recruiters as non-conformists. [12:47] How to build trust with people quickly.  [25:26] Growing a firm from nothing to a $4m annual run rate.  [40:41] The value of hiring someone to do the things you're not good at. [44:23] Overcoming a massive upheaval in 2019. [52:40] Learning from hindsight - Mark's retrospect on his most significant challenges led to him rebuilding his firm.  [1:06:15] Mark's core value in rebuilding his team. [1:09:40] What is now being done differently in Mark's second version of his business? Building From Scratch to a $4M Annual Run Rate Mark shared the key success factors that contributed to growing a $4m search firm in 9 years. There were a number of challenges they needed to overcome which anyone growing a recruitment businesses will relate to. The two biggest success factors were:   Market mastery - having an organized approach to his market. Hiring in 3's - as it takes the same amount to train 3 people as it does to train 1 person.  Hire Someone to Manage You Another significant success factor that Mark mentioned is the value of hiring an assistant. Mark's longest serving employee, Katie, was originally hired as his assistant and has contributed so much and developed her leadership skills to the point that she was recently promoted to CEO.    What is the added value of his assistant? “Operational details are not my strong suit. I am acknowledging that. When I hired Katie back in 2014, I said ‘your first job is to manage me and your second job is to manage my inbox.'”  This actually makes a lot of sense. In our coaching group, we emphasize the value of hiring someone, like a virtual assistant, that can support you on administrative tasks or operational undertakings while you focus on your business' vision and income-generating tasks. This is how Mark puts it, “Having somebody that I trusted operationally was really key from getting from $1M to $4M.”   Extreme Ownership: Improving Your Results Requires You to Own Your Mistakes   In 2019, Mark's business imploded, shrinking from 14 people back down to 1.  That was a really rough experience for Mark which led to a lot of soul-searching and shifts in personal and business focus. At the height of their success, Mark was really stressed and not sleeping well due to significant issues from his working environment. Due to cultural misalignment, a rift developed between Mark and some of his key employees who he had brought on and promoted to Partner level. Ultimately, this led Mark and his top billers to part ways, which snowballed into losing almost his entire team.  It was a truly heartbreaking experience.   In retrospect, Mark is able to analyze the situation and identify his own role in the decline of the business. As Mark described, “When I think about that time, my relationship with those three partners and team members, was not first. Consequently, it was a house of cards… In the end, it was not relationship first”. This lead him to establish a new core value when he rebuilt his business, which is to always protect the team.   You will truly appreciate Mark's candor and humility in sharing this experience, which can also be a learning moment for all of us.   Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro and Recruitment Entrepreneur.   i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Good hormone health is critical for your quality of life. It brings longevity, energy, and happiness. Unfortunately, many people are suffering from very real hormone imbalances and their doctors simply tell them “nothing is wrong” or “Everything tests normal.”.According to 2022 data, generally incurable and ongoing chronic diseases are affecting approximately 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the country's total population. If that isn't worrisome enough, nearly 50 million Americans are additionally suffering from one more more mental illnesses.While the reasons for these health crises are many, one potential catalyst that escapes conventional medicine's purview is unbalanced hormone levels that go undetected by routine testing.About Ricky:As a health and wellness advocate, Ricky Brandon employs natural hormone replacement therapy to help his clients address a myriad of life-altering symptoms ranging from general anxiety and depression to chronic pain and fatigue. After he spent years of trial and error trying to solve his own family's health challenges that conventional medicine wasn't solving, Ricky and his wife, Candy, a molecular biologist, opened Hormone Balance Centers, a leading provider of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.Resources Mentioned:How to Achieve Healthy Aging (Neal Rouzier)Connect with RickyHormone Balance CentersThe podcast's hashtag is #nourishyourflourish.

Oscar Trimboli: How to Listen Oscar Trimboli is an author, host of the Apple award-winning podcast Deep Listening and a sought-after keynote speaker. He is passionate about using the gift of listening to bring positive change in homes, workplaces, and cultures around the world. Through his work with chairs, boards of directors, and executive teams, Oscar has experienced firsthand the transformational impact leaders and organizations can have when they listen beyond the words. Oscar is a marketing and technology industry veteran with over 30 years' experience across general management, sales, marketing, and operations for Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Polycom, Professional Advantage, and Vodafone. He is the author of the book, Deep Listening and now, his newest book, How to Listen: Discover the Hidden Key to Better Communication*. In this conversation, Oscar and I explore several of the assumptions that tend to get in our way of listening well. Oscar highlights several distinctions that will be useful mindsets for you in showing up better in future conversations. Plus, we discuss how listing goes far beyond simply asking questions. Key Points Before we begin listening, it is helpful to tune…much like as orchestra. We can't always give our full attention, but we can make the choice as to whether we are paying attention or giving attention. As much as we intend otherwise, sometimes we listen less well in our closest relationships. Aim to be curious instead of drawing conclusions. Asking questions does not necessarily mean you are listening well. Aimless and arbitrary questions are everywhere.

Kwame Christian: How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race Kwame Christian is a best-selling author, lawyer, professor, and the Managing Director of the American Negotiation Institute. He has conducted countless specialized trainings worldwide and is a highly sought after keynote speaker. His best-selling book, Finding Confidence in Conflict has helped countless individuals overcome the fear, anxiety, and emotion associated with difficult conversations. The book was inspired by Kwame's TED Talk with the same name that has over 250,000 views. He's also host of the Negotiate Anything Podcast, the most popular negotiation podcast in the world. Kwame was the recipient of the John Glenn College of Public Affairs Young Alumni Achievement Award in 2020 and the Moritz College of Law Outstanding Recent Alumnus Award 2021. Additionally, Kwame is a business lawyer at Carlile, Patchen & Murphy LLP and serves a professor for The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law in its top-ranked dispute resolution program and Otterbein University's MBA program. He is also a Contributor for Forbes and his LinkedIn Learning course, How to Be Both Likable And Assertive, was the most popular course on the platform in July of 2021. He is the author of How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race: Practical Tools for Necessary Change in the Workplace and Beyond*. In this conversation, Kwame and I discuss how to begin a difficult conversation about race. We explore the key questions that each of us should ask ourselves so that we can determine in advance what we want to gain from a tough conversation. Finally, we look at the three critical things to say in the first 30 seconds that will help you start an important conversation that helps everybody move forward. Key Points It's hard for someone else to appreciate how much of a person's identity affects every other area of their lives until you've lived it. People explain away racism because they don't like it and don't want it to be true. Whether you think a conversation is about race or not, if it's about race for the other person then you're having a conversation about race. There questions to ask yourself before a conversation: What do I hope to accomplish in this conversation? Given what I know about them and the situation, what is likely to be their goal? What are three questions I can ask them that will help me to understand their position? Use situation, impact, and invitation as the starting point for a difficult conversation. Usually this is less than 30 seconds. “Naked facts” reduce the likelihood that someone will dispute the premise of what you are addressing.

Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Summary: All publications go through a harsh process of editing. Think of the best magazines and newspapers. All have teams of editors. Why? Because if you want something amazing to come out of your life, it usually requires you to take away the unnecessary. To put away the distractions. Hebrews 12:1-3 says it this way, "...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles us. And let us run with perseverance, the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith..." If you want to run with perseverance, it's time to let go of the unnecessary. Today we're talking about how to edit your life for success.

I'm so glad you asked!

Are you connected to yourself sexually? Majority of people are uncomfortable embracing their sexual side- let alone having a conversation about it- but our sexual energy deserves to be celebrated and fulfilled. In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Bryn Marhefka to talk about connecting to our sexual self. Bryn is a feminine embodiment coach who believes the key to transformation is through the body. After her divorce, Bryn realized that one of the key incompatibilities with her previous partner was their erotic blueprints. This discovery sparked her journey to explore the world of sexual desires and the nuances of pleasure. Today, Bryn is a sex coach who helps women get in touch with their authentic self through their sexual pleasure, period, labor and birth, and menopause. Her specific specialization is in the female orgasm and the different ways women can achieve pleasure. Bryn and I talk about everything she has learned along her journey to becoming an expert sex coach. You will hear the story of her divorce, why Bryn says it is important to know your erotic blueprint, the presence and power that comes with an orgasm, the different sexual roles of masculine and feminine energy, and more. We came into this Earth as creators of life and when we suppress our sexual side, we are suppressing a large part of who we are. I hope this conversation with Bryn opens your mind and inspires you to connect to yourself sexually on a deeper level.
