“There's never a perfect time. Just begin.” In this episode of The RebelRebel Podcast, host Michael Dargie welcomes Steven Foster, the founder of One Golden Nugget, to share his remarkable journey through entrepreneurship, personal struggle, and self-discovery. From sleeping in his office during lockdown to creating a global platform that collects and shares wisdom nuggets, Steven's story is as inspiring as it is humbling. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Steven takes listeners back to his early days when his entrepreneurial spirit first sparked. He started by replicating cassette tapes for dance music enthusiasts in the UK, which quickly scaled into a million-dollar business. His journey then veered into the world of music promotion and large-scale dance events, before crashing into bankruptcy. From there, Steven reinvented himself as a songwriter, securing deals with Universal Music and collaborating with major artists. Yet, the rollercoaster continued—his ventures in digital marketing agencies followed a similar pattern of rapid growth and collapse. At his lowest point—broke and living in his office during the pandemic—Steven had an idea: to collect and share people's most valuable pieces of wisdom. Thus, One Golden Nugget was born. What started as a personal project turned into a life-changing platform, transforming both Steven's life and the lives of those who shared their insights. Throughout the conversation, Steven emphasizes the power of kindness, slowing down, and trusting the journey. He stresses the importance of niching down, taking massive action, and embracing failure as part of the entrepreneurial adventure. He shares his belief that true happiness is rooted in kindness, and that the greatest gift is simply waking up each day. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a “rebel in waiting,” Steven's story will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and a pocket full of golden nuggets. Cool Things Steven Says “Kindness is the route to happiness.” “Don't boil the ocean. Find your niche and own it.” “There's never a perfect time. Just begin.” “You have nothing to lose.” “Be the love—in everything you do.” Episode Highlights Steven's early days: cassette tape duplication turned million-dollar business. The rise and fall of Dreamscape, his large-scale dance music events company. His time as a cleaner, learning humility after losing everything. Transition into songwriting, working with Pop Idol and X Factor contestants. The birth of One Golden Nugget during the COVID-19 lockdown. The power of kindness and faith as drivers for success. “Don't rush; there's no destination.” Why niching down is key to sustainable business. Bikram hot yoga as a life-changing practice. The importance of clean eating for sustained energy. The gift of simply waking up each day.

We are delighted to be speaking with a legend in our industry today! Steven Foster is the Managing Partner of Foster+Fathom, a Leadership Training and Goodness Alliance in Dallas, Texas. Steven is the author of Full-Throttle Leadership: Passion, Power & Purpose on the Edge of America. He joins us today to tell the incredible story behind his solo motorcycle ride around the perimeter of the US and share some stories about leadership. He also gets into what he has written in his book about passion, power, and purpose and talks about workshops, advisory, and veterans. We hope you enjoy listening to our super-inspiring conversation with Steven Foster today! Bio: Steven G. Foster, CMP, is Managing Partner of Foster+Fathom, a Leadership Training and Goodness Alliance in Dallas, TX. that provides opportunities for organizations and individuals to connect and create meaningful engagement, influence, and impact in the communities where they live, work, and meet. An award-winning speaker, author, business consultant, and team-builder, Steven is a 32-year member of Meeting Professionals International (MPI), where he has served in a variety of leadership roles at both the chapter and global level. In 2004 he was inducted into the MPI Community of Honorees, and in 2022 was named one of MPI's Top 50 Most Influential Members. Steven also is a Harley-Davidson LIFE Member who took a 13,000-mile solo motorcycle ride around the perimeter of the United States in 2013 to support the Boot Campaign, a national veteran's organization where he serves as an Ambassador and Advisory Board Member. That journey is chronicled in his new book, “Full-Throttle Leadership: Passion, Power & Purpose on the Edge of America.” He also has a “Full-Throttle” resume receiving more than 15 top industry awards. In 2000, Steven and Wendy Foster became the first husband/wife business team to earn the Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation. Both of them have been profiled by CNN/Fortune as a Small Business Success. How Steven got into the meetings and events industry Steven stumbled into the meetings and events industry almost before it became an industry. He was living in Hawaii and working as a journalist when Hawaii State certified tour guides for the first time and offered a series of certifications and classes to train tour guides. Steven's editor selected five reporters to go through the training. One of them got sick, so Steven was sent in his place. To acquire the certification at the end of the training, they had to take a written test and then get onto a bus to give an eight-hour “Circle Island Tour” to 16 proctors who graded them afterward. Steven found it fascinating and started working part-time as a tour guide. He loved it and decided to make a career change several months later. Acquiring a business Steven met his wife, Wendy, while working at the destination management company where she worked. Wendy eventually left that company to work for a family-owned meeting and event ranch in north Texas. She and Steven then acquired that business. They got a great team together, rebuilt the business to host corporate and association meetings, and ran it for eighteen years. A husband and wife team Steven and Wendy each had their own strengths and talents and did their best to play to them. When people saw them working together, they saw genuine affection and respect. They focused on growing the business and building a great team and did tons of amazing events! Learning and growing They learned a lot as business owners. It pushed them to live in their lane and keep growing. Things he would change Steven tended to move too fast at times. So he did not always share his intended route with the team or thank them enough for all they did. Drawing from his experiences Steven has worked for the best and the worst business leaders, and he learned from all of them! As a business owner, he constantly draws from his experiences as an employee. He also draws from his more than fifty-five years of riding motorcycles. Leadership Steven believes that leaders are not born. They become. That means that leaders should constantly be learning and serving their teams. Lessons from motorcycling Many lessons about leadership are to be learned from motorcycling. One is that leaders cannot constantly stay in the front because there is too much resistance and blowback there, and intense focus is required. So motorcyclists ride in a coordinated and staggered formation, use hand signals to communicate, rotate back into the pod, and allow their wingmen to assume the number one position. Steven's definition of winning Steven's definition of winning in life is moving together, working together, and serving everyone who rides with you every day to do the job you do- whatever it is. The Boot Campaign In 2010, Steven was introduced to a non-profit veteran's service organization called the Boot Campaign, founded by five Texas women who read a book called Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell and wanted to do something to help returning veterans. Steven had also read the book and felt motivated to help returning veterans. The tagline of the Boot Campaign is: “When they come back, we give back.” A US perimeter ride The grand-daddy of all the rides a real biker would do is the perimeter ride of the US, which takes a minimum of thirty days to complete. In 2011, Steven came up with the idea of doing a US perimeter ride as a fundraiser to raise awareness and support for the Boot Campaign. It took him and a group of bikers about a year to map out the route, and they decided to do the ride in 2013. Over time, however, everyone slowly dropped out, so Steven decided to do the ride alone. Riding alone made the trip much more memorable, and he met some amazing people along the way. Service and sacrifice Doing the US perimeter ride was the greatest accomplishment of Steven's life! He feels that it changed him fundamentally as a person because it allowed him to see people who were overcoming insurmountable challenges, setbacks, and losses getting up every day saying they wanted to make their piece of the world a better place. Weathering storms A core part of leadership is realizing that you need to constantly be learning and building up your skills so you can weather the storms when things go wrong. Passion, power, and purpose In his book, Steven talks about passion, power, and purpose as the three lessons of leadership. Passion is about finding the right ride. Power is about fueling the ride with skills and capability. Purpose is the focus of the ride. Be like the Boot Campaign girls Steven encourages everyone to do what the Boot Campaign girls did. They were not in the non-profit space, nor were they professional fundraisers. They just read a book that touched their hearts and decided to do something simple and profound to connect people.

Plotkin encourages us to seek out a soul encounter in order to find our ecological niche and our place in the larger world. He encourages us to do the necessary work to become true “adults,” which has nothing to do with our chronological age. We must do this work in order to give our gifts back to the web of life and become embedded in life-enhancing activities.

’m on a mission to raise the consciousness of humanity by sharing wisdom, truth, venerability and positive vibes from some of the world’s most inspiring people. I started my first business aged 19 with a loan from The Prince’s Trust and by the time I was 28 had achieved a level of success I could never have imagined. 3 years later I was cleaning toilets in a factory for minimum wage. A humbling experience. Until I started Nugget I was one of those people who built my dream and then continuously ended up losing it. By the time you get to your mind 40’s those lessons that keep repeating should have been learned. So I started asking people for one thing I could do to improve, their Nugget. From that spawned an incredible adventure. #InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEOs #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #Boards See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
O autismo é um transtorno no desenvolvimento do cérebro sobre o qual ainda pouco se sabe. Até por isso, há muitos estereótipos e sobram dúvidas. Qual é a causa do autismo? Quais sinais estão presentes no espectro autista? O que sabemos? O que ainda não se sabe? A Leila e a Lia bateram um papo sobre esse assunto com a Camyla Azevedo (Instagram @clinicaparcamylaazevedo), mãe do Bernardo, psicóloga clínica especialista em Neuropsicologia, Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental e Terapia Familiar e de Casal. É também coordenadora do setor de Neuropsicologia do Ambulatório de Cognição Social Marcos Mercadante da UNIFESP (@teammunifesp). Uma conversa muito esclarecedora. A Camyla cita o livro "Disciplina positiva para crianças com deficiência: como criar e ensinar todas as crianças a se tornarem resilientes, responsáveis e respeitosas", de Jane Nelsen, Steven Foster e Arlene Raphael.
Dale Carnegie once said, “Two men looked out of prison bars, one saw mud and one saw stars.” Perspective involves our point of view or attitude toward a subject. Our perspective dictates what we see in the world around us.In life, do we see mud, or do we see stars? Today on the Apple Seed, our line-up of stories consist of storytellers Norman Walker, Rivka Willick, Linda Gorham, Diane Edgecomb, and Doug Elliott, each sharing with us that life is all “a matter of perspective.” On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts” by Norman Walker (Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts; 3:43)Norman takes the lyrics from musician Steven Foster's last words, written on a scrap found in his pocket when he passed away on January 13, 1854. “Mr. Peckinpaw” by Rivka Willick (Sordid Tales from Bennion's Inbox; 5:52)A youngster is initially unsure of the old Russian fellow who repairs their home, but comes to appreciate the man's gratitude despite his intimidating appearance. “Pai & Kwan” by Linda Gorham (Common Tales and Uncommon Fun; 10:45)“Pai and Kwan” is a traditional Chinese tale that gives perspective on doing the right thing for the right reasons. Two brothers, one gracious and one selfish, both attempt to do a good deed for very different motives – and very different rewards. “Dancing Spirit of the Birch” by Diane Edgecomb (In the Groves; 10:47)A Czech folktale about a young woman who retreats into the birch trees to work, only to be daily immersed by the dancing spirit of the grove. As she befriends her mysterious dance partner, the spirit gifts her with a special treasure. “Fifty Thousand Bees on My Head” by Doug Elliott (Sail On Honeybee: Adventures in the Bee Yard; 16:24)This has been an episode about perspective, about how you see the world. And sometimes our view can be shaped and changed by our observations of the natural world. And there's no more up-close view of the natural world, perhaps, than having fifty thousand bees on your head. Here's Naturalist and storyteller, Doug Elliott to share that perspective.

Ready to flow like a river? My first guest conversation on the #earthconversepodcast is with the wise wonderful Emerald North (approx 1hr36min) “A woman of the earth, artist, poet, a guide and most of all, a human being that is deeply connected and living with, on and through the living earth around her day to day”. I was guided by Emerald on my first vision fast, had mirroring training with her, and assisted a vision fast in 2019, all through School of Lost Borders www.schooloflostborders.org (founded by Steven Foster and Meredith Little). Here is an opportunity to listen, and feel the experience of an elder, speak her truth. Flow with it like a river. There are so many gems (as you would expect from an Emerald) but our conversation includes: how the river spoke to her; the power of prayer, of really singing, and gardening; an invitation to go out and reclaim something of your innocence; rites of passage and the 4 shields wheel of wholeness; listening, mirroring and seeing our gifts; a reminder that we need to give things we love, time and power; and getting a feel for her art EPISODE EXTRAS: In addition to her work with School of Lost Borders, as you will hear, Emerald will also be running a 18 month Rites of Passage Ceremonial Immersion in Southwest US during 2022-2023. In her words “it will be community-based deep dive into what it means to be whole human beings: alive to our wildest fury, our erotic and blessing power, our grief, our tricksterliness, and our ineffable love. The land, as always, is our guide and teacher; and the heart of all our gatherings will come from sitting with Creosote, listening to the whisperings of soaring Hawk and the cadence of the Chama river, dancing with shadow under the midnight moons. Over the course of a year and a half together—in person on the land, in zoom gatherings, and through email councils— our community will create that rare kind of human container that both nourishes the ceremonial spirit in each of us and that feeds Ceremony itself”. The Rite of Passage Ceremonial Immersion is designed those who have previously completed at least one three or four day vision fast and are deeply inspired— enough to commit to five ceremonies and to the community that forms to enact them.

This is the first part of my conversation with Joyce, who has some wisdom to share about why connection--to all things--is important, and how the disconnection our Western civilization teaches us is harming so many things. Some mentions: Grandmother's Counsel the World, a book Joyce is reading. MK Nature Center, a branch of Idaho Fish & Game that teaches outdoor education and gives wildlife experiences only minutes from downtown Boise. Steven Foster and Meredith Little founded the School of Lost Borders, of which the medicine wheel is an important conceptual piece. Their book, The Four Shields, describes in more detail the directions I roughly sketched in this episode.

Debates over civil-military relations have reached a fever pitch since the 2016 presidential campaign and the beginning of the Trump administration. Many have focused on the top-down questions: What role should retired generals play in our political system? What are the consequences of having so many former military leaders at the upper-most ranks of a presidential administration? Should we be worried about the state of civilian leadership in the Pentagon? But to put those in their right context, it is important to look at civil-military relations from the bottom-up. How are ethics taught to our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines? What is the state of the profession of arms? What does it really mean for the American people to honor their troops? In this episode, we tackle many of these questions from the top-down and the bottom-up with a terrific panel of experts: Loren DeJonge Schulman of the Center for a New American Security, Alice Hunt Friend of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Steven Foster of the U.S. Army and one of the contributors to Redefining the Modern Military: The Intersection of Profession and Ethics.
Today's guest is a man who has had one of the most eclectic careers that I have ever seen.With just a few of the highlights or low-lights being such as "Been in a boy band, Wished I was in a successful boy band! ,Swept floors in a factory, Managed acts on X Factor and written contestant songs, Flown Concorde, Written hit records, including 1 Pop Idol winners record, Drunk Champagne with Charles & Liz at Buck House, Been to rock bottom twice, started a business with Duncan Bannatyne, Ended a business with Duncan Bannatyne" and now he is in the digital business.Wow, there is certainly a story behind this guy for sure.As he says " For all the many high points, I've also experienced more temporary failure than is good for one person. There have been many, many periods in which I have made a complete hash of things when I've snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and flopped on the final furlong. I've tripped on the finish line so often I've questioned my own sanity.If there was a lesson to be learned I've lived it, studied it, absorbed it, taken it on board and then ignored it many times over – even when I think I've understood it I've had to go through it again a few times to really know what it means.And that is a great life lesson, right there – the situation that slaps you will keep repeating until you learn the lesson.If there's one thing I have realised over the years it is that with every challenging life situation there is always the seed of opportunity and the hope of brilliance within it. You just have to look for it and be open, which can be difficult when the shit is hitting the fan, but if you are ever going to be successful you must embrace this skill with open arms.Now he is bringing those amazing life lessons to the world through a new book One Golden Nugget where he is asking the world what is there view on where success is hidden.So does he lay in bed, with his hand behind his head and smile at the journey he has been on? Content that it has put him where he was always heading?Or was there a door that he could have walked through back in the day which was the perfect one?Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Steven Foster Show Highlights During the show we discussed such deep subjects with Steven Foster such as:How he honestly thinks he hasn't got the mental intelligence to know if something is going to be difficult before starting. Is that a super-talent or hindrance?Steven shares how he went into his bedroom with depression and didn't come out for over a year.How Steven failed at so many things that he didn't want to do, he finally decided that he would only go for what he loved.And lastly………..Why life is about the journey as much as the rewards, but without fail the rewards are always in the present moment, no matter how much we think otherwise.

"Was My Brother In The Battle?"- What Civil War meant to my family-Six hundred thousand men died or were wounded in the American Civil War. Just as many families were affected. Mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers all felt the hopelessness of not knowing if their sons and brothers would ever come home. Steven Foster captured this feeling of helplessness and rage in his song "Was My Brother In The Battle?, which is sung here, credits below, and thanks to Cinzi Lavin and Jennifer Love, arrangement and vocals respectively, for their rendition. Did the Civil War really matter? Sadly, many people today don't know who fought in the war, when it took place, or who won it. Many more don't know why they fought. It's popular now to look back and say what a waste it was and that it should never have been fought, but history can't be written off so simply like that. Those who write it off have to look at it in context- meaning you have to put yourself in that time and place, understand what tensions were building, and why. Only then do you realize that it was unavoidable. Both sides could not have found the answer any other way, and the memories of the men on both sides, North and South, who were caught up in the war need to be preserved, not torn down. This is the story of my great-great Uncle, who fought for the Union during the American Civil War, and who gave his life to preserve one nation, undivided, at the Battle of Petersburg in 1864. He joined the New York 5th Infantry, a Zouave Regiment, and was involved in a number of engagements, including Cold Harbor, Charleston, Fort Sumter, and Petersburg. Their sacrifice gave us an end to slavery, a united America, a path to voting and equal rights, veterans hospitals, and the opening of the west, to name just a few. It also gave us the most powerful nation on earth. Here you'll find the story of William Carney, the first black man to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor, which he did while fighting for the Massachusetts Volunteer 54th Infantry, who was wounded under heavy fire as he delivered the union flag to his comrades on the front line, saying “Boys, don’t worry, it never touched the ground”. It is a true story. He survived the war. He risked death for the flag and what it stood for. So did Horace Hagadorn., who paid the ultimate price. He died fighting at Petersburg. His two letters to his sister Rebecca are included here. A huge thanks to Cinzi Lavin for allowing us to use her music. "Was My Brother in the Battle?" Music and lyrics by Stephen Foster; lyrics adapted and piano/vocal arrangement by Cinzi Lavin. Jennifer Love vocals, Cinzi Lavin piano.
