Good Books for entrepreneurs: "Dare to Lead" by Brené Brown
Jillian Michaels is a world-renowned fitness expert, distinguished nutritionist and wellness entrepreneur. As one of the original trainers on the hit reality TV series The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels has built an empire in the health + wellness arena including being an 8-time New York Times bestselling author, publishing numerous successful fitness DVDs and launching the award-winning Jillian Michaels Fitness app. Today, Jillian opens up about her struggle with childhood obesity, facing ridicule from her peers and the infliction point that provided newfound confidence and triggered an appreciation for fitness to provide empowerment in all facets of life. You’ll leave this conversation with a plethora of practical tips + step-by-step instructions that will inspire your mind + body. SHOW NOTES: Her parent's divorce sent 12-year-old Jillian into a spiral where she became obese + was ridiculed by her peers until karate became a powerful, positive force in her life. With newfound confidence after her passing her 2nd Degree Black Belt test, Jillian gradually began to appreciate fitness as a means to empower people in all facets of life. "Life doesn't stop kicking you. Fight your way out of the corner." When starting on The Biggest Loser, Jillian was hesitant of this unprecedented reality television format but saw it as a "life or death intervention" for contestants that were severely obese. Commitment to change: To trigger commitment, Jillian needs 3 things to occur with clients: Hit rock-bottom. Take responsibility. Experience success. "We don't engage in destructive behaviors because we're weak, lazy or stupid. We engage in that habit because it meant our psychological survival." "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how." - Friedrich Nietzsche To find your "why", Jillian uses leading questions that ignite emotions to be a compass that wakes you from a comfortably numb state. Try this exercise: For two weeks, set an alarm to go off every hour to take inventory of what you're doing and how it makes you feel. In Jillian's formula for a healthy lifestyle, 7-8 hours of sleep is critical + uncompromisable, 12 hours a week is dedicated to emotional and physical well-being with the remainder for work + running a home. "When you fail, it's an opportunity to learn + is preparing you for the next person, place or thing waiting around the corner in life for me to be better." After failure, Jillian gives herself grace by reframing the negative as a positive, then identifies the lesson to incorporate into future growth. JILLIAN MICHAELS' LIVE INSPIRED 7 1.

"I want to bring back love and heart in business - that you can have emotions and can cry, and still run a heartful, purposeful and successful business.

"There's always good that can come from the bad." Cohost of the nationally syndicated Bobby Bones Show and host of Love What Matters Podcast: Amy Brown is a ray of sunshine as she shares vulnerably with us about her life. From her father walking out on her family to her mother dying of cancer: Amy is a shining example of finding blessings in all of life's experiences. SHOW NOTES: Her dad leaving was a devastating experience that ultimately transformed her life in a positive way. "There's always good that can come from the bad." "My mom was an example of hard work while still making time for me and my sister. Every morning before work, she and her friends gathered at our house and prayed for us. That's a really cool memory for me." "Sometimes you have to be patient to see the blessings that will come from a bad experience." "My mom never spoke ill of my dad. That was so important." As a radio host, when Amy's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, her audience knew and was interested in the journey. They started #PimpinJoy movement to celebrate how they all live with joy; her mom's motto was "I'm going to choose joy." When her mom was diagnosed for the 3rd time, she said: 'Lord, I won't pray for you to take it away, use it for good.' Walker Hayes wrote Joy Like Judy. Check out the video here. You can get #PimpingJoy gear here - a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the St. Judes or City of Hope. Listen to Amy's Love What Matters Podcast here. AMY BROWN'S LIVE INSPIRED 7 1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Interrupted and Seven both by Jen HatMaker. They changed my perspective on life in general. Sometimes as Christians we can get too legalistic on things and be too much about what we are against instead of what we are FOR. Her books helped me dig a little deeper and have my faith interrupted. If you feel like you are just going through the motions, read these books to get a way to love the world better. 2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do? Build a new orphanage in Haiti. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? My computer. 4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be? Robin Roberts. I've always been inspired by her as a female in broadcasting and her journey with cancer and breaking barriers for black women. My kids are Haitian, they are black, so I want them to have role models like her. 5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received? Choose joy. From my mom. I've learned the difference between happiness and joy in the last few years and how to choose it. Be joyful but also live in and recgonize the hard times so you don't miss the opportunity to learn and grow from them. 6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? It's okay that he dumped you. Don't let yourself be defined by something else. Work on yourself. Don't worry about what everyone else wants or needs you to be. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? Choose joy. Have hope. *** If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe (automatically get new episodes), rate & review (help spread the word!) this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
