Episode #364: Ben's simple words resonate strongly: “If I could do something small for one person, why would I not?” This episode brings together Ben and a Burmese student who goes by the moniker Little Activist. Together, they discuss the profound impact of individual gestures and transnational solidarity. Ben, who worked briefly in Myanmar with a UN agency, was moved by an episode that Insight Myanmar Podcast aired last year, in which Little Activist described how he was documenting military atrocities and sharing online information. Compelled by Little Activist's courage and the sacrifices he was making, Ben decided to offer a monthly donation to support him and his mission. For Ben, this act was more than charity; it was a way to honor the kindness he experienced in Myanmar and to inspire others to stand in solidarity with those aspiring for democracy. Little Activist's response underscored the far-reaching effects of Ben's generosity: to him, the donation was more than a lifeline, as it provided not only material support but also a morale boost. Not content to keep the fund for himself alone, Little Activist distributed portions of the donation to others in need, reflecting his enduring commitment to collective well-being. The conversation also addresses the worsening conditions in Myanmar under the junta, from economic and educational crises to escalating violence and airstrikes. Despite these challenges, Little Activist remains steadfast in his mission to document the junta's atrocities and keep Myanmar's plight visible to the world, despite censorship and surveillance. In closing, Little Activist expressed deep gratitude, emphasizing that even in the absence of robust international intervention, solidarity from individuals like Ben provides hope. His final words capture his resolve: “Even if the international giants don't care about us, we'll continue our fight, knowing there are people out there who do.”

In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe.

The Ripple Effect: Understanding Why Hurt People Hurt People Have you ever wondered why someone you know, who's clearly struggling, ends up hurting those around them? It's a painful paradox: the very people carrying deep wounds sometimes inflict them on others. Today, we're going to explore this complex dynamic, understanding that while understanding is never an excuse, it's the first step toward breaking cycles of harm. New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist

In this inspiring episode of PivotMe, April revisits one of her most loved concepts: the Atta Folder. If you're new to it—think of it as your personal vault of encouragement. April dives into why it's not just for you, but how regularly building up others can radically transform your team, your relationships, and even your leadership legacy. Key Takeaways: What an Atta Folder Is: A digital or physical space where you store positive feedback, praise, and reminders of your value—for when you need it most. Why It Matters: We all have easy access to what's gone wrong. The Atta Folder is your curated reminder of what's gone right—fuel for your confidence. From Self to Team: Start by building your own Atta Folder, but don't stop there. Become the person who fills others' folders too. Ripple Effect of Recognition: When you consistently affirm those around you, you don't just boost their morale—you build loyalty, trust, and culture. How to Make It a Habit: April gives tactical steps for turning appreciation into a routine—one that boosts productivity, mental health, and connection. Quote from the Episode: “Evidence of what you've done wrong is always available—so you better intentionally collect what you've done right.” Actionable Items: Create (or update) your personal Atta Folder with screenshots, notes, and feedback. Give specific, sincere compliments to three people today—text, email, sticky note, whatever works. Build the habit: set reminders or create a ritual to affirm people regularly—at work, at home, or even in the pickup line. The Atta Folder isn't just feel-good fluff—it's a tool for resilience. And when you make a habit of building others up too, you create workplaces, homes, and communities where people feel seen, valued, and inspired. Start yours today—and go fill someone else's too. --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

Are you afraid of your romantic relationship getting in the way of your career and vice versa? What if I told you that your relationship could be the secret weapon behind your biggest professional success, rather than the thing holding you back? Welcome to The Ripple Effect Podcast! In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Gabriela Embon. She is an inspiring speaker, relationship coach, and author of Becoming a Power Couple. We discussed one of the most overlooked dynamics in modern life: how your career and your relationship are deeply connected, whether you realize it or not. As someone who's been through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and marriage at the same time, this conversation hit me right in the heart. Gabriela has a gift for breaking down the emotional and practical challenges that ambitious couples face, especially when life feels overwhelming, communication breaks down, or resentment starts to creep in. Her coaching approach doesn't just focus on fixing problems. She helps you engineer a relationship that fuels your career and creates the kind of love you don't just survive, but thrive in. We talked about everything from managing stress at work without bringing it home to the unspoken expectations that can quietly destroy a connection. Gabriela's four-pillar framework for building a legendary marriage is packed with actionable insights that you can start using today! If you've ever felt like you're sacrificing your relationship to chase your goals, or like your partner just doesn't “get” what you're building, trust me. This episode is for you. It's honest, relatable, and packed with the kind of wisdom I wish I'd had years ago. And if you're in a relationship and trying to balance ambition, stress, and love, do not miss this one.

In this inspiring episode, Tina Tower sits down with the magnetic and passionate Amber McCue—entrepreneur, strategist, and founder of AmberMcCue.com. From becoming a single mom at 18 to scaling multiple multimillion-dollar companies across continents, Amber's story is a masterclass in designing a business (and life) built around true freedom and flexibility. Key Topics Covered:  Designing a Business for Freedom and Flexibility Amber McCue strategically built her businesses to allow for location independence, anticipating her husband's career might take them internationally. This intention shaped everything from systems to delegating tasks. Building Multimillion Dollar Companies from Scratch Amber shared her journey from single motherhood at 18 to owning several companies and running them from anywhere in the world. Her experience demonstrates it's possible to build scalable, successful companies while prioritizing family and personal time. Embracing the Modern CEO Mindset Amber introduced her “Modern CEO Method”—a framework for running businesses that don't require the founder to be "always on," making them more sustainable. The shift from solopreneur to CEO is not just about business growth but about cultivating freedom for yourself. Efficient Time Management: The Power of Boundaries Amber works 20–24 hours a week, rarely more, thanks to clear boundaries and prioritization. She emphasized the discipline to stick to time constraints, only focusing on tasks that drive results and align with personal and business goals. Delegation and Letting Go Identifying tasks to delegate or automate—often starting with administrative work—was crucial for Amber. She encouraged other entrepreneurs to calculate what only they can do versus what can be handed off, freeing up time and reducing business bottlenecks. Personal Development and Mindset Shifts The entrepreneurial journey is deeply personal; Amber highlighted the importance of dealing with guilt around working less, managing other people's judgments, and having the confidence to do things differently from corporate norms. Failing Forward and Scenario Planning Both Amber and Tina discussed the inevitability of failure in business. Amber recommends using visualization and scenario planning to make failure less daunting, so you're emotionally and strategically prepared for setbacks. The Ripple Effect of Empowered Women Empowering women to own successful businesses has a powerful ripple effect, benefiting families and communities. Both Amber and Tina are passionate about supporting women to step into confident CEO roles and create generational change. Practical Tips for Growth Start delegating small, with tasks that support revenue-generating activities. As the business grows, incrementally add support, and always make sure your investments in help match your capacity. Community, Planning, and Events Amber runs the annual “Plan A Thon” event to help entrepreneurs plan and celebrate their businesses. She highlighted the value of community and planning as pillars of ongoing business success. Amber McCue's story (and strategies) is a masterclass in intentional business design, prioritizing both growth and freedom. Building a business that fits your life—not the other way around—isn't just possible, it's essential.

I've been telling you that I'm leveling up this podcast. Today's episode proves it!  I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Sophie Mazzaro, a world-renowned mural artist, sneaker customizer, and creative force whose journey is anything but ordinary. From her roots as a German exchange student in Texas to painting the now-iconic Kobe Bryant mural on the Venice Beach Pier, Sophie's story is a masterpiece. Every connection she made along the way contributed to the stunning tapestry of her artistic journey. As I interview Sophie Mazzaro for The Ripple Effect Podcast, she opens up about her early days growing up in Berlin, her move to LA to chase an acting dream, and how that world led her straight into the life of a full-time artist and entrepreneur. Despite growing up with parents in the IT industry, Sophie went in the opposite direction and pursued the creative route. She's worked on custom sneakers, tattooed incredible pieces, and painted massive murals, including one from the 72nd floor of the tallest building in LA.  What blew me away was Sophie's unfiltered honesty about the artistic grind: how she navigates creative burnout and the realities behind the “starving artist” perspective. We talk about the emotional story behind her Kobe Bryant tribute, building a business around her art, and her bold new chapter living in Wyoming, painting breathtaking wildlife pieces inspired by her surroundings. If you've ever wanted to know how to turn art into a business, what it's like to be a mural artist, or how to make it as a creative, this episode will empower you. This isn't just another artist interview. This is the story of a woman unapologetically forging her own path, one brushstroke at a time. Listen and get inspired by one of the most creative and driven artists of our time. This is Sophie Mazzaro, and this is her Ripple Effect. PS.

✅ The Seven A's of confession (and why "I'm sorry" isn't enough for deep healing) ✅ How to break the cycle of emotionally stunted men in your family line ✅ The 6-second technique that can save your marriage and your relationships with your kids ✅ Why going "upstream" is better than constantly putting out fires FULL SHOW NOTES >  SUMMARY: What if the reason marriages grow cold after the honeymoon year isn't about compatibility, but about something dads never learned to model? In this episode, Ken Sande reveals how emotionally stunted men are created when fathers never show their kids how to say "I'm sorry" or "I need help." You'll discover the Seven A's of confession that can break generational patterns and the upstream approach to preventing conflict before it starts. Plus, Ken shares practical tools for managing your emotions in the heat of the moment—including the six-second technique that can save your tongue from doing damage. Key Takeaways: More people are watching your responses to conflict than you realize—about 10 times more—and you're teaching through your reactions. The Seven A's of confession provide a framework for meaningful apologies that actually heal relationships rather than just checking a box. Emotional stunting passes from generation to generation when fathers never model humility, confession, or asking for help. The READ technique (Recognize, Evaluate, Anticipate, Direct) helps you manage amygdala hijacking and respond thoughtfully instead of reactively. Going "upstream" to prevent conflict through relational wisdom is more effective than constantly putting out the fires of broken relationships. Your royal identity as a child of God, friend of Jesus, and ambassador of reconciliation should shape how you lead your family 24/7. Guest: Ken Sande founded Peacemaker Ministries and Relational Wisdom 360, organizations focused on conflict resolution and relationship skills. After 30 years of mediating conflicts—including over 600 divorce cases with more than half reconciling—Ken shifted focus to go "upstream" and help people prevent conflict through biblical emotional intelligence. He's the author of multiple books on peacemaking and relational wisdom, and lives in Billings, Montana, where he enjoys hiking and backpacking with his family and grandchildren.
