in the air-conditioned room of the library, with piles of notes and books stacked on the other side of the table.Hu: Az ablakon túl a nyár napsugarai játszottak az egyetem kertjében, a távolból a diákok vidám nevetése és halk zene szűrődött be, ígéretesen hívogatva a szabadtéri programok felé.En: Beyond the window, the summer sun rays played in the university garden, with the distant cheerful laughter of the students and faint music filtering in, enticingly inviting him to outdoor activities.Hu: De Bálint csak sóhajtott, és visszatért a könyveihez.En: But Bálint just sighed and went back to his books.Hu: Az utolsó vizsgákra készült.En: He was preparing for the final exams.Hu: Réka és Ádám, Bálint két legjobb barátja, mellé telepedtek.En: Réka and Ádám, Bálint's two best friends, sat down next to him.Hu: "Hogy megy?En: "How's it going?"Hu: " kérdezte Réka, miközben leült egy kopott fa székre.En: asked Réka, as she sat on a worn wooden chair.Hu: Ádám már kinyitotta a saját könyvét, hogy csatlakozzon a tanulásba, de Bálint csak a fejét rázta.En: Ádám had already opened his own book to join in the studying, but Bálint just shook his head.Hu: "Nem tudom," mondta.En: "I don't know," he said.Hu: "Talán ez túl sok nekem.En: "Maybe it's too much for me."Hu: ""Nézd," javasolta Ádám, "csináljunk együtt egy tanulócsoportot.En: "Look," suggested Ádám, "let's form a study group.Hu: Nem kell egyedül szenvedned.En: You don't have to suffer alone."Hu: " Réka bólintott.En: Réka nodded.Hu: "És szüneteket is tartunk," tette hozzá biztatóan.En: "And we'll take breaks," she added encouragingly.Hu: Bálint habozott, de tudta, hogy szüksége van a segítségükre.En: Bálint hesitated, but he knew he needed their help.Hu: "Rendben," egyezett bele.En: "Alright," he agreed.Hu: "De kezdjünk rögtön.En: "But let's start right away."Hu: "A következő napokban együtt bújták a könyveket.En: In the following days, they delved into the books together.Hu: A nehéz anyagrészek megoldását közösen kutatták, és igyekeztek megérteni a nehezebb tananyagokat.En: They tackled the difficult sections collectively and tried to understand the harder materials.Hu: Ezek alatt az ülések alatt Bálint meglátta, hogy nem is olyan reménytelen a helyzete.En: During these sessions, Bálint realized that his situation wasn't so hopeless after all.Hu: A tanulócsoportban Réka és Ádám segítségével sikerült összeraknia az anyagot egy nagy egésszé.En: With the help of Réka and Ádám in the study group, he managed to piece together the material into a coherent whole.Hu: Egy este, miközben az esti szellő átsimított az ablakon és a könyvtár kezdett elcsendesedni, Bálint végre meglátta a kapcsolatokat a nehéz anyagok között.En: One evening, as the evening breeze drifted in through the window and the library began to quiet down, Bálint finally saw the connections between the challenging materials.Hu: Az utolsó napokban, a vizsgák előtti órákban, Bálint már nem aggódott annyira.En: In the final days, during the hours before the exams, Bálint wasn't as worried anymore.Hu: Magabiztosabb volt, mint valaha.En: He was more confident than ever.Hu: Megértette, hogy bármilyen nehéz is a tananyag, a barátok támogatása és néhány pihentető szünet csak javíthat rajta.En: He understood that no matter how difficult the material was, his friends' support and a few restful breaks could only improve it.Hu: A vizsgák után Bálint kilépett a könyvtár ajtaján, napsütötte arccal, és mély levegőt vett.En: After the exams, Bálint walked out of the library door, his face sunlit, and took a deep breath.Hu: Végre fellélegezhetett.En: He could finally relax.Hu: Réka és Ádám már kint vártak rá, mosolyogtak és gratuláltak.En: Réka and Ádám were already waiting for him outside, smiling and congratulating him.Hu: "Megtetted," mondta Ádám büszkén.En: "You did it," Ádám said proudly.Hu: Bálint bólintott, tudta, hogy nem csak a vizsgákon sikerült kiemelkedően teljesítenie, hanem a saját határait is sikerült áttörnie.En: Bálint nodded, knowing that he had not only excelled in the exams but also managed to overcome his own limits.Hu: Megtanulta az egyensúly fontosságát a kemény munka és a pihenés között, és, hogy néha a legjobb dolog, amit tehetünk, az, hogy segítséget kérünk és megosztjuk a terheinket.En: He learned the importance of balance between hard work and rest and that sometimes the best thing we can do is ask for help and share our burdens.Hu: A könyvtárból kilépve úgy érezte, visszaszerezte a hitét önmagában.En: Stepping out of the library, he felt he had regained his faith in himself.Hu: A nyár új lehetőségeket ígért, és Bálint készen állt, hogy szembenézzen velük, barátai támogatásával.En: Summer promised new opportunities, and Bálint was ready to face them, with the support of his friends.

In this episode, we dive into WWS - three non-negotiable habits for cricketing success: Walk, Water, Sleep. These might sound simple, but trust us, most people don't track them properly. We break down why these habits are essential for performance, how they impact recovery, and how small changes can lead to big results.You'll Learn:The Importance of Walking – Discover why walking is crucial for both recovery and endurance in cricket. We break down how increasing your daily walking reserve can improve efficiency on the field.Hydration and Athletic Performance – Learn how chronic dehydration affects performance and why tracking your water intake can transform your game. James shares his personal wake-up call when he realized he wasn't drinking enough.The Role of Sleep in Recovery – Understand how proper sleep enhances focus, endurance, and overall well-being. We discuss the common mistakes athletes make when it comes to rest.Tracking Habits for Success – Find out how simple habit tracking can expose blind spots in your routine. James shares how a journaling exercise helped him reset his hydration habits.Key Takeaways:Walking is a Performance Multiplier – Walking is not just for fitness; it builds endurance and movement efficiency essential for cricket. Many players underestimate how much they walk during a match.Hydration is Often Overlooked – Most people think they drink enough water, but tracking reveals otherwise. Making hydration a priority leads to better focus, energy, and recovery.Sleep Fuels Performance – Lack of proper sleep can lead to fatigue, poor decision-making, and increased injury risk. Cricket players need to prioritize sleep just like training.Tracking Creates Awareness – What gets measured gets managed. Writing down daily habits makes it easier to spot areas for improvement.Your Body Adapts Over Time – When you start drinking more water, your body takes time to adjust. After four to six weeks, hydration becomes second nature, and your performance improves.Quotes:"Most people think they're hydrated until they actually track their water intake.""If you don't track your habits, you're guessing and guessing won't make you better.""Your body craves what you give it consistently so why not make it crave water and movement?"Find James on: Instagram: @jamesbreese Twitter: @_jamesbreese To learn more about Cricket Matters and download your FREE copy of The High-Performance Handbook, please visit www.cricketmatters.com

Clint Riggin is a successful entrepreneur, coach and is now diving deep into his faith in seminary school. Earlier in life, he struggled with drug abuse, partying, hanging around the wrong people and suicide contemplation. It was when he surrendered his life to Christ when he began to see substantial change in his life for the better and a greater purpose for his existence.  In this episode, we first unpack Clint's crazy upbringing where he enlisted in the Navy and professionally competed in bodybuilding, but then turned to drugs, partying and alcohol to be seen by society. This led him down a dark path of depression and questioning his life. He knew that he needed to make a change.  Clint decided to travel across the United States where he met his future mentor. This mentor prayed over him and opened his eyes to a better life with Christ at the center. Clint then began to change the way he operated, his beliefs and the people he surrounded himself with.  Clint and Matt discuss the power of faith and mentorship, and how both can create life changing transformations for anyone. Clint is also a successful entrepreneur and brings a ton of value to the listener. He is currently training for a HYROX race so we also hit on the training and mental fortitude needed to succeed in that event.

We all want to be successful, right? But have you considered what that really means for you? There's no definitive example of a successful person, life, or business. It means something different for each of us, and is ours to define for ourselves. What does it mean for you?Success is not so much a finish line to cross, but a north star guiding us on our way. It's away of being, regardless of any finite goals we may set and whether or not we achieve them. Consider your own idea of success for your life and / or your business, and let it inspire you, call you forward and light your way.

He enjoyed living a simple life, even in this fast-paced and complex city. It was his love for life and laid-back attitude that led to a comical incident.Zh: 那天早晨，王伟被激昂的闹铃声唤醒。他一只眼低垂，揉揉起皱的额头，迷迷糊糊地查看时间，突然他从床上蹦了起来。今天他有一个大活动参加，一个他准备了许久的大活动.. 不是普通的聚会，不是朋友的聚餐，而是他未来可能的一份工作——一个重要的招聘会。这个会议在北京市的望京商务区，一个大的、蓝色玻璃的大楼里面。En: One morning, Wang Wei was awakened by an exuberant alarm clock. Rubbing his eyes and wrinkling his forehead, he groggily checked the time and suddenly jumped out of bed. Today, he had a major event to attend, one he had been preparing for a long time - not just a regular gathering, not a friend's dinner, but a job opportunity – an important recruitment fair. The meeting was in the Wangjing business district in Beijing, inside a large, blue glass building.Zh: 穿衣、梳头、刷牙、洗脸，王伟飞快地做着准备工作。他匆忙中，穿上一双舒适的软底拖鞋，脑海中只是想着尽快出门。En: Dressing up, fixing his hair, brushing his teeth, washing his face, Wang Wei quickly got ready. Rushing, he put on a comfortable pair of soft slippers, only thinking about heading out as soon as possible.Zh: 到达大楼时，王伟忽然发现人们用奇怪的眼神看着他。他低下头，发现自己仍穿着那双老旧的拖鞋。恐慌的王伟脸色瞬间苍白，但他必须面对，职业的机遇就在此刻。En: Upon arriving at the building, Wang Wei suddenly noticed people looking at him strangely. Lowering his head, he realized he was still wearing those old slippers. Panic-stricken, Wang Wei's face instantly grew pale, but he had to face it – his career opportunity was at this moment.Zh: 王伟鼓起勇气，跨进了会议室。人们的目光紧紧地跟着他，他的拖鞋在冷峻的大理石地板上发出“嘎吱嘎吱”的声音。王伟面不改色道：“你们好，我是王伟。请忽略我的拖鞋，我是个有创意的人。”En: Summoning his courage, Wang Wei stepped into the meeting room. All eyes were on him as his slippers made a "creak creak" sound on the stern marble floor. Wang Wei, unfazed, said, "Hello, I am Wang Wei. Please disregard my slippers; I am a creative person."Zh: 他紧张而肯定的回答引起了人们的微笑，甚至一些人鼓起掌来。会议结束后，王伟被通知他已经成功通过了面试。他已经展示了他的创新思考和能在压力下保持风度。他跳跃着，穿着他的拖鞋，笑着离开了大楼。从这开始，所有人都知道，那个穿拖鞋参加面试的人，在京城掀起了自己的一片天，他是简单，也是独特。En: His nervous yet confident response brought smiles to people's faces, and some even applauded. After the meeting, Wang Wei was informed that he had successfully passed the interview. He had demonstrated his innovative thinking and ability to maintain composure under pressure. He happily left the building, hopping along in his slippers. From that moment on, everyone knew that the man who showed up to the interview in slippers had carved out his own path in the capital city; he was simple, yet unique.Zh: 这就是王伟的故事，一个关于失误和成功的故事，一个在北京发生的小故事，却成了大大的启示：只要我们心态良好，无所谓细节，只有你，只有信念。En: That is Wang Wei's story, a tale of mistakes and success, a small story that happened in Beijing but serves as a great lesson: as long as we have a positive mindset, details don't matter, only you, only belief.

Jisoo sat by the window, whispering the songs of her favorite K-pop band, while looking at the sky filled with stars. In her heart and mind, there was only one person - Sung-hoon, the popular K-pop idol.Ko: 그러던 어느 날, 지수의 가장 큰 꿈이 현실로 다가왔다. 사바하 커피숍에서 뜻밖에 성훈을 발견한 것이다. 그는 캡을 깊게 눌러쓰고 있었지만 그의 독특한 찰랑이는 머리카락과 눈부신 미소가 그를 명확하게 드러냈다.En: Then one day, Jisoo's biggest dream came true. She unexpectedly saw Sung-hoon at Saba Cafe. He had his cap on low, but his unique charm showed through his flowing hair and dazzling smile.Ko: 지수의 심장은 미친 듯이 뛰었다. 그녀의 입 안은 마른 사막처럼 느껴졌다. "할 수 있어, 지수야. 그냥 가서 인사하면 돼." 그녀는 혼자 자신을 다독였다.En: Jisoo's heart raced as if going mad. Her mouth felt as dry as a desert. "You can do it, Jisoo. Just go and say hi." She encouraged herself.Ko: 그럼에도 불구하고 갈등은 깊어질 뿐이었다. 그녀의 자신감과 부정적인 생각 사이에서 그녀는 벽에 몸을 기댔다. 이 흔들리는 감정이 스스로를 통제하는 것을 어렵게 했다.En: Despite her inner struggle, the conflict only grew deeper. Caught between her confidence and negative thoughts, she leaned against the wall. These unstable emotions made it difficult for her to control herself.Ko: 그러나 결국 지수는 용기를 냈다. 그녀는 천천히 성훈에게 걸어가 그에게 먼저 말을 걸었다. 그녀의 손은 떨렸지만, 그녀의 눈은 성훈을 바라보며 결심한 표정을 드러냈다.En: But eventually, Jisoo gathered her courage. She slowly walked towards Sung-hoon and initiated the conversation. Her hand trembled, but her eyes showed a determined expression towards him.Ko: "안녕하세요, 성훈씨... 저는 귀하의 가장 열렬한 팬, 지수입니다."En: "Hello, Sung-hoon, I am your most passionate fan, Jisoo."Ko: 성훈은 미소를 짓고 자리를 지시하며 그녀를 환영했다. 그들은 함께 커피를 마시며 이야기를 나눴다.En: Sung-hoon smiled and gestured for her to sit, welcoming her. They had coffee together and shared stories.Ko: 그 날부터 지수의 일상은 변했다. 그녀가 좋아하는 아이돌을 만나는 꿈은 현실이 되었고, 그녀는 더 이상 꿈꾸지 않았다. 그녀는 꿈이 현실이 될 수 있다는 것을 깨달았다. 이제 그녀는 새로운 꿈을 꾸고, 그 꿈을 실현시키기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그 노력이 성공으로 이어지기를 간절히 바라는 지수의 이야기를 통해 우리 모두는 우리 안에 숨겨진 용기를 발견할 수 있다.En: From that day on, Jisoo's daily life changed. Her dream of meeting her favorite idol became a reality, and she no longer dreamed. She realized dreams could become reality. Now, she dreams new dreams and works hard to make them come true. Through Jisoo's story, we can all discover the courage hidden within us and hope that our efforts lead to success.

On this day, a young man named Haruto made his way there. In the polished office lobby that shone like a mirror, a quiet tension hung in the air.Ja: ハルトは心臓が鼓動を打つのを明確に感じる一方、最初の障害を乗り越える決意を新たにする。彼はシャツのボタンをつけなおし、デスクの前で名前を伝えた。デスクの向こう側にいたユミは、彼の名前の隣に赤いボールペンで線を引くと、「27号室でお待ちください」と告げた。En: As Haruto felt his heart pounding, he also strengthened his determination to overcome the initial obstacle. He buttoned up his shirt again and approached the desk to give his name. Yumi, who was on the other side of the desk, drew a line next to his name with a red pen and said, "Please wait in room 27."Ja: ハルトは指示された部屋に向かったが、一歩踏み出すごとに、何事もないように見える廊下がさらにダンジョンのように見えた。彼は太ももに手を置き、自分自身を落ち着かせ、27号室のドアを開けた。En: Haruto made his way to the designated room, but with each step, the seemingly ordinary hallway appeared more like a dungeon. Placing his hand on his thigh, he tried to calm himself and opened the door to room 27.Ja: そこには意外な人物、ヒロシが待っていた。彼はハルトより年上で、肩に力を入れたポストュアでハルトを見つめた。ハルトは深呼吸し、丁寧に男性に頭を下げた後、座席に座ると、両者の間に生まれた沈黙が高まった。En: To his surprise, Hiroshi was waiting there. He was older than Haruto and stared at him with a posture that exuded strength. Haruto took a deep breath, respectfully bowed his head to the man, took a seat, and the silence between them grew.Ja: ヒロシは必ずしも親切そうに見えなかった。彼はハルトのシャツに目を下げ、少ししかめっ面をした。「あなたのシャツ、ちょっと裏返しっぽいけど...」と彼は指摘した。En: Hiroshi didn't seem particularly kind. He glanced down at Haruto's shirt and frowned slightly. "Your shirt seems a little inside out..." he pointed out.Ja: ハルトの頭は一瞬で真っ白になった。彼が冷静に答えたのが不思議なくらいだ。「ええ、たぶん、そうかもしれません。」と、試すように服を見下ろした。En: In an instant, Haruto's mind went blank. It was strange how calmly he responded, "Yes, perhaps it is." He glanced down at his clothes as if to confirm it.Ja: 皆の反応は驚きだった。ユミは、面接室の返事の範囲が赤くなるのを止められず、ヒロシは意外にも笑い出した。その後のハルトの面接は、予想外な出来事により、心地よい雰囲気へと変わり、また潜在能力とフレキシブルな姿勢を示すという意味でも彼の有利な面が際立つことになった。En: Everyone's reaction was surprise. Yumi couldn't help but stop the range of red on her response form in the interview room, and Hiroshi unexpectedly burst into laughter. The rest of Haruto's interview took an unexpected turn, creating a pleasant atmosphere where his potential and flexible attitude stood out as advantageous.Ja: 翌日、ユミから電話があると、ハルトは一瞬で緊張しました。「ハルトさん、スペーステックからお伝えしたいことがあります。」とユミの声は揺れていた。「…それは、ハルトさん、採用です。」En: The next day, when Haruto received a call from Yumi, he felt a moment of nervousness. "Haruto-san, there's something I have to tell you from SpaceTech," Yumi's voice trembled. "... It's Haruto-san, you're hired."Ja: 人生は予測不可能だ。笑えば、良いほうへと向かうだろう。En: Life is unpredictable. If you laugh, it will lead you to the better side.

You're probably like me, and when you don't know something you want to possess or new knowledge you'd like to acquire, there's always a little voice telling you that you won't succeed, that it's complicated and reserved for professionals who have studied in this field. But since the advent of the Web, my beliefs have changed because there's so much accessible information. Obviously, you need internet access, but once that step is taken, if you think about it, there's a true democratization of knowledge. We can find practically everything online. So here are a few simple steps I suggest you try to start building what I call your list of genuine influencers/journalists: Ask Your Fans: If you're very active on social media, ask your fans which media, magazines, or other sources of information they consult. Follow the Path of Success: Find online where your competitors and brands you admire are being discussed. Specialized Publications and Podcasts Ask Your Community Conduct a small informal survey if your community is on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. - Which magazines do you read online? - Who are your favourite influencers? - Which website do you visit most frequently? These are already excellent leads. Follow the Path of Success Whether you're on Facebook, Instagram, or not registered on our platforms. Identify 2 competitors and 1 company that inspires you in your sector. Analyze their online presence using Google – by using the NEWS filter or Google alerts. Check your competitors' social media. The goal of this approach isn't to blindly copy your competitors but to understand what works well in your industry and use this information to enhance your strategies and performance. Specialized Publications and Podcasts - Search online for the top 5 magazines / podcasts specialized in your industry. - Identify the top TikTokers, Instagrammers, influencers, etc. Podcasts, magazines, blogs, and specialized websites in your sector cover news specific to your competitors. And why not directly contact the journalists who cover your industry? You can build and nurture relationships with them. If you follow 1 or 2, you'll be informed when they publish articles related to your competitors. We're opening the doors of NATA PR SCHOOL, and I invite you to come work with me.

This episode is about vision and how it relates to entrepreneurs and leaders. It is for people who need an adjustment on their vision or who feel discouraged due to a lack of vision. Tony Taylor explains that when he first started out, he was pitched new ideas all the time, but never actually listened to them because he knew he needed to have singular vision when it came to staring his business. Vision is important when it comes to making decisions and staying on track scaling and growing a business. Leaders must be able to see the big picture, anticipate potential problems, and make sure that the team is all on the same page. It is also important to have an open mind and be willing to adjust the vision as needed. Ultimately, having a strong vision can make all the difference in the success of a business. Tony talks about his vision of inspiring and motivating others to not give up on their dreams. He explains that he knows this because he has given up on many things in his life, such as boxing, school, and many other endeavors. He wants to help others not feel the same bad feelings he did when he quit, and to find their passion and joy. He encourages listeners to find their vision and not give up on it. Timestamps 0:00:00 Heading: Vision and Direction for Entrepreneurs and Leaders 0:01:50 Topic: The Power of Vision and Self-Discovery 0:06:56 Motivating Others to Find Their Passion and Joy: A Conversation with Tony Highlights Wow. So that person wants to give other people a sense of decency, a sense of support because they believe that everybody should have access to clean water, and food. And that's Tony's vision, Tony's mission, and everything else that comes after that, if done properly would truly align with not only who he is as a person at the moment, but who he's daring himself to be. Ask yourself why.. For me, I always loved, loved, loved on people. And I've always been passionate, sometimes more passionate about other people's lives than I was about my own life. I believed in other people, sometimes more than I believed in myself, and I just championed them, and that was my deal. But when I went on my journey of self-discovery and I started asking myself these questions, these why questions, that's exactly what I came up with, was, I love to serve people so that they can fulfill their life's mission so that they can fulfill their goals or the goal that they have in life. The leaders that make a difference are the leaders that had a vision. A vision. Tony wants to ask you, and you could write this down if you're driving, don't write it down. Just remember to write it down. Write it down, scribe it in your mental, in your mind, but write down the thing that you envision, the thing that you want to come to fruition, the thing that you're willing to work hard for, the thing that you truly desire. But unless you need some ideas or you don't have any ideas, then yeah, go and talk to the person with a million of them. They'll give you one idea and you'll be able to 1000 ideas. You'll be able to pick one and really hone in on that one. Tony is talking about vision. Vision is seeing the things that cannot be seen, seeing the things that aren't there. And that's what makes the difference between a leader in an organization, and a leader of some of these different countries.

Are you greedy? Please take a second and think about it. Genuinely ask yourself if you are greedy. Let's be clear, greed is an intense selfish desire for something. What is your heart yearning for? What do you believe if you had your life would be better? It's easy to say, "NO, I am not greedy."  Yet, greed is a sneaky little jerk lurking in the dark depths of our desires and motivators. It's also easy to say you're not greedy because who wants to be greedy? But when you admit to yourself that you are motivated by greed, you can shift your thinking, and this is when freedom & peace can enter your mind! I will tell you from personal experience that when you humble yourself and examine where greed may be motivating you, you begin to show up differently. Even more remarkable is when you identify where greed motivates you, surrender those selfish desires to God and humble yourself, breakthroughs start to happen!Listen to this episode now to learn if greed is hindering your professional growth and what you can do to get rid of this nasty little thing! Please comment if you like it!

In this episode of Safe Space, Jonathan Hung talks about the importance of developing and finding one's brand as the NxtGen of a successful manufacturing family business.     "Knowing what you stand for'' is key to one's success, shared Jonathan. It is important to find one's identity and be passionate in what you do.    Many NxtGen feel lost and are without their own identity within the overarching family business and at times in the shadows of larger than life founders.     Jonathan shares his journey from starting in the family business to now running the investments for the family and others.

We're sitting down with one of my business mentors, Chase Chewning, for today's episode. Chase is a fellow podcaster and wellness expert, my podcast coach, and an all-around great friend who is quite literally a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the latest health topics, products, and trends in the space. His podcast, Ever Forward Radio, has over 1.5 million downloads and counting, and as he's nearing the 500- episode-mark, you can imagine he's become a lifelong learner of the nutrition and fitness industry. After connecting with Chase through a mutual friend last fall, he gave me the structure and final push I needed to officially hit 'Record' and bring the FYX podcast concept to life through his podcast coaching biz, Operation Podcast. The power of having a team to both support your goals and grow your network developed as the main theme of this conversation--that comes as no surprise considering he's played that exact role in my life over the past year. Living a life of wellness has always been a part of Chase's story, beginning with eating fresh food from his grandparents' garden throughout childhood, playing baseball throughout school and enjoying time in the mountains surrounding his family's southwest VA home. After six years of active duty, Chase was medically discharged from the military due a string of injuries that ultimately required him to have bilateral reconstructive hip surgeries. After learning how to walk again, twice, exercise as medicine and healthy lifestyle modifications became his passion. Fill your coffee cup, sip away, and get your FYX of Coach Krysta and her guests on The FYX podcast. Connect with Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning.

So it's been a hot minute since I've done a motivational minute. This particular message came to me through a meditation. Someone is listening to this show and you feel physically sick, overwhelmed and like a failure. Your mind, body and soul are screaming at you for permission to roam freely. Instead of listening, you are trying to force yourself to believe that there's something wrong with you for wanting more /// Allow me to be the first to tell you: you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. Your life has so much resistance because it's not meant to fit. But your environment is trying to tell you otherwise. /// It's a funny thing, realizing that you don't the mold you're in now but not knowing where you're meat to be. It can make you think that the problem is you. It's not. It's your environment and your programming. /// If you're ready to take back control of your life, I'll be posting daily content for the next few weeks in my four pillars of becoming a leader in your personal and professional life: self awareness, self control, self trust and self confidence. /// Stay updated on new content: https://neshavfrazier.ck.page/2b07d654a4 /// Get my free Success Mindset email course: https://neshavfrazier.kartra.com/page/Success /// Find me on IG or Linkedin @neshavfrazier

Ilan Missulawin Show notes Ilan Missulawin is the co-founder of ClickCease, the leading click fraud protection software used by thousands of advertisers. His background in marketing is diverse, from marketing campaigns for global retail companies to startup marketing. He lives in Tel Aviv with his wife and two children. Most passionate about  I’m a co-founder of ClickCease, which provides protection from click fraud to advertisers that use Google search. At least 20% of the clicks that a Google advertiser gets will not convert. In the beginning, I was on the phone all day, speaking to companies that were already aware of, and concerned about, click fraud. Then we started to advertise, especially through Google search, attracting these people to our site. The breakthrough happened about a year after the launch, when we started to use chat software called Intercom. It supported people whom we brought to the website, answering their questions and helping to convert them into sales. The next stage was to start building an awareness of potential customers. Then we started using the chat software in the online store. Next, we discovered the power of conferences in terms of meeting with advertising agencies that give services to SMBs. Ilan’s customers The majority of our customers are SMBs (small-medium businesses) like plumbers, e-commerce stores, lawyers, dentists, or any service that needs to advertise on Google in order to be found. They will suffer negative consequences if someone clicks several times to harm their campaign and waste their money. We also have another kind of customer: enterprises that are very well-known brand names. With them, it’s more about bot fraud. Ilan’s best advice about approaching customers I learned these three stages from Keith Cunningham, a businessman from Austin, whom I had the pleasure of meeting in Denmark recently: Keith Cunningham’s Formula for Success: Find out what they want. Go and get it. Give it to them. If I need to give more specific advice, I would say persistence. Visualize this: Underground are two tunnels and at the bottom of each tunnel is a big diamond. One group will dig, dig, dig and then, two digs away, will give up and leave. In the second tunnel is another group of people who will dig, dig, dig and, at exactly the same point as the other group, two digs away, will continue to dig. My last bit of advice is about big changes. Many people and influencers believe in BIG changes. Tony Robbins, whom I love listening to, talks about massive action. However, I believe that habits are what, at the end of the day, result in massive action. Persistently changing one percentage here and one percentage there, and one percentage in a third place, will bring about major changes. Biggest failure with a customer I think that if you aren’t in the right place to help a customer, they won’t be there for you. There was a customer who was on our site chat all the time. But, really, he was asking tons of questions and he wasn’t even a customer yet. We kind of dismissed the guy because he was on the chat all the time. We didn’t know that he represented a very well-known brand name. We thought, you know, Mr. X comes to us all the time only to ask questions. Like the guy who comes in every day to the car miller but never buys a car. We lost the customer. We didn’t realize that the reason he was asking these endless questions, which nobody else ever asked, was because he was from an enterprise and he had to show his boss that he had done everything he could to ensure that he made the right decision. It was a very important lesson. But mistakes happen all the time. I think that is inevitable and is always going to happen. The question is, what processes do you have in place that will enable you to fix it as soon as you can? That’s the difference between a company that is trying and those that aren’t....

Episode 17 – Influencing with Developed Emotional Intelligence What is Emotional Intelligence? The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.   5 Emotional Intelligence Competencies with Solutions to Success Self-Awareness/Reflection – Understanding yourself by knowing your emotional Strengths and Weaknesses. This is also knowing how others perceive us as being know how your mood directs thoughts and decisions.  Solution to Success: Journal and if you are unsure what to write then use prompts. Also, you can slow down to grab your composure (Take just a few minutes to think). Be introspective in nature and seek honest feedback from those you trust. Become an internal change agent driven to improve weaknesses and strengths. Be honest with yourself and check your ego.   Self-Regulation/Discipline – Taking control of your emotions when faced with challenge or stress. Think about decisions and outcomes. Be reserved in language toward others. Holding to your personal values. Do not become a slave to your emotions.  Solution to Success: Build your own values-based code of conduct. Take ownership no matter the outcome but be sure to praise others when it is good. When faced with giving an emotional response use 15-30 seconds of deep breathing to gain control. Develop 3 different courses of action to allow yourself to think in different directions.   Motivation/Purpose – It is important to know why you are doing what you are doing and have a positive mindset of success. Knowing your why in anything you do has to be your center of focus. If you are unsure of your why then your motivation will drain quickly.  Solution to Success: Find your why, which can be done using the lessons of Simon Sinek. Once you know your why, measure your motivation level (low, medium, high). Set achievable goals to elevate confidence and a positive environment. We will be faced with times of despair or problems so a bridge to overcome is using resilience (Hunt the Good stuff is great for this). We have to remind ourselves; Attitude is everything and to think long term.   Empathy – Put yourself in other people’s shoes to help understand their emotional state. This will help you understand the wants, needs, and correlated viewpoints of each. Empathy will allow you to react in a worthy manner according to other people's emotions. A highly useful reaction for you is being calm to help the others be calm.  Solution to Success: Put yourself in other's shoes by going through a thought process of you being the one going through the emotion due to a circumstance. Good or bad visualize yourself going through the same instance. Train yourself to be observant of body language, but also be aware that your body language could be what they are mimicking. Once you notice another’s feelings then respond to them and attempt to create a positive situation if need be.   Social Skills – Having the ability to communicate with others no matter the circumstance or situation. Being a team player who creates an atmosphere or environment of positive movement forward to success. Social Skills open the doors of success for others through positive affirmation and motivation. The foundation of this is relationship building.  Solutions to Success: Learn about conflict resolution and how to direct the conflict when faced with it. Improve communication verbally and nonverbally by engaging in meaningful conversation and by paying attention to your body language. You should strive to have the tough conversations as much as the easy ones. Praise of others is key to building relationships.     Books talked about in this episode: Emotional Intelligence – https://amzn.to/2JPg9Z9 Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all small stuff – https://amzn.to/2FHikIZ The First Time Manager – https://amzn.to/2WyTSAw Start with Why – https://amzn.to/2OEZt5G Find Your Why – https://amzn.to/2FMANFe Extreme Ownership – https://amzn.to/2FCiuBy The Way of The Seal – https://amzn.to/2K6SPXl The Three Meter Zone – https://amzn.to/2Wx554t 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace – https://amzn.to/2Wx58gF Leading With Honor - https://amzn.to/2Up10BW   You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review on our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.

My guest is Brian Scudamore. Brian is the founder of 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Brian and his team have grown 1-800-GOT-JUNK into the world's largest junk removal service. Not only that, they scaled that bad boy and started three more home service brands. He's got his eye on $ 1 billion. He's living the DREAM THINK DO life… so let's get to this! Listen To The Podcast: Resources: Brian's Book: WTF?! (Willing to Fail): How Failure Can Be Your Key to Success Find out more about Brian: Click here Interview: Brian Scudamore: Thanks for having me, Mitch. Mitch Matthews: Let's talk about how this got started. Brian Scudamore: There I was looking for a way to pay for college. But my college education took a back seat when I realized I was making more money and having more fun and learning way more about a business by building a business versus studying in school. So, I had a conversation with my dad, who's a liver transplant surgeon. Three years into my degree in college. I said, “Dad, I got some awesome news for ya. I said I'm quitting school and…” Mitch Matthews: Get ready, dad. Brian Scudamore: He says, “how is that good news?” I gonna learn so much more about business running one, instead of studying from textbooks, from professors that have never started a business in their life. While my dad did not get the good news train, 10 years later he sat down. He said, yeah, Brian you did the right thing. Mitch Matthews: Good, good call. But obviously this willing to fail was something you were willing to do early on. Would you say that ... At what point would you say this started to set in that being willing to fail was key. Brian Scudamore: I think I've always been a bit of a risk-taker as an entrepreneur. I grew up with grandparents who had a small business. Now they ... It was an army surplus store in San Francisco. I used to work there every summer and Christmas vacation. I don't think they took a lot of risks. But I enjoyed the game of business and was fired to take that entrepreneurial leap. Maybe it was just a part of my DNA. I don't know. But I found myself whenever I was starting a business, I didn't mind putting myself out there and making some mistakes. It just felt like the fastest and easiest way to learn. Brian Scudamore: Five years into my business, to the half a million in revenue, I felt good about what I was building. But not good about the people on board. That old phrase of one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. I probably had ... Nine of my 11 employees were bad apples. It was a leadership moment for me to get rid of the entire crew. I brought all 11 in and I said, sorry guys I've let you down as your leader. I have not given you the love and support or found the right people and fired everyone to only start again. But to take that leadership lesson of, okay I failed here. This hurts. I've gotten rid of my entire company. Yet starting again there was that valuable lesson and it got better. Mitch Matthews: Not bad. Well, That's ... I love that story in the book. That took some guts. As I'm sitting there, here you had to be thinking, oh gosh this is rough. This is embarrassing. Also, you had to look down the barrel of running the business solo for a while, too until bringing on the right people. But, that's the kind of thing where that took guts at the time where you needed it, right? 'Cause you could have just kind of tried to maintain it with status quo. I'm guessing you would have been a completely different place today. Brian Scudamore: Yeah. We learned or I learned that day 'cause it was just me, that building a company is all about finding the right people and treating them right. The company would not be what it is today. Today will ... This year we'll do $440 million in revenue. There's no way we would have come anywhere close to that hadn't we found this important mantra of finding the right people. For someone like ourselves heavily branded in everything we do,

Find your life's purpose. Know what you're here for. Find your reason for being alive. Sometimes you may have to get away from our modern societies to find your life's purpose. Being inside your own mind for extended periods of time has shown to bring out hidden things that have been drowned out by the noise and distractions of daily life. Don't be afraid to take that personal time of soul searching to find your purpose and life passion. Lots of successful people hold on to embedded childhood memories of happiness that fuel their life's passions and purpose where other successful people find hidden childhood trauma that eventually transforms into incredibly positive vehicles for their success as well as the success of others. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the4pos/support

Have you ever had a business idea that you were immediately passionate about and felt on the most guttural level, an incredibly strong need to create? You're about to meet two outdoor founders who have gone through just that and emerged – somewhat - on the other side, successful Kickstarter campaign in hand. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, my Intrepid Entrepreneurs. Lindsey Elliott and Jainee Dial, the co-founders of Wyldergoods.com, are alive to share this story in podcast form with you today. Lindsey and Jainee personify a modern outdoorswoman. It's an archetype who they're intent to serve with a new formula that's not retail or storytelling – it's both and it doesn't fall under either. Wyldergoods.com is an online marketplace, community and network hub for today's outdoor adventure-ess. Lindsey and Jainee didn't stop with just the concept – they focused on creating a Benefit Corporation (B-Corp), and use their sustainability and give-back mission to screen potential brand partners on their platform. You're about to hear first-hand what it's like to do a Kickstarter campaign. First of all, it's really ((*&%$#) nerve-wracking. As Jainee says: You're putting yourself and your ideas out there, and people judge and vote for your work with their money. But Kickstarter is, above all, a storytelling platform, and Lindsey says it needs to treat it as one to be successful. Let people know the story of your business and how that story is relevant to their lives. In her words, “If you believe in it fully, and you're telling an authentic story, the people who align with that will find you.” You won't want to miss what else Lindsey and Jainee have to say about getting this company started, serving the greater good, and how their love for the outdoors affects their professional lives!   Bravery in Business Quote   “How can we serve a greater good, outside of a basic consumer model, and bigger than business as usual?” - Lindsey Elliott (click to tweet)   The Cliff Notes Focus on products that can meet a diversity of needs Kickstarter is a storytelling platform, and should be treated as such if you want to be successful on it Kickstarter gives potential customers an opportunity to vote with their dollars, showing their true commitment to the idea There is something really nerve-wracking of putting yourself and your work out on kickstarter, with how much people judge you based on the response the dollar number Find time to get away.
