Podcasts about success starts

What if the key to unlocking your next level of impact, income, and influence wasn't the perfect pitch, the polished funnel, or the “professional” mask… but simply showing the f* up**? In this unapologetically raw and empowering episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer sits down with networking queen Aria Leighty, whose superpower is building intentional, transformational connections. Together, they unpack why 80% of success really is just showing up, how our glitter, shoes, and statement pieces can be business cards, and why authenticity always beats the buttoned-up version of “professional.” Aria shares her three golden principles—listen, give a shit, and follow through—and how these deceptively simple practices make you the richest person in the room. From redefining networking as relationship-building (not sales!) to breaking free from the toxic hustle of vanity metrics, Aria reveals how community—not just audience—creates sustainable success. Whether you're a podcaster, coach, entrepreneur, or visionary ready to disrupt the “quiet, good girl” conditioning, this conversation will light a fire under your stilettos and remind you that your story, your voice, and your presence are your most powerful assets. This isn't just a chat about networking—it's a masterclass in owning your audacity and building a business rooted in authenticity, connection, and impact.

The Road Less Traveled: Why Struggle Means You're on the Right Path If everybody around you is cheering you on, chances are… you're not playing big enough. The truth is, the journey to greatness isn't supposed to feel comfortable. It's filled with resistance, rejection, doubt, and moments of deep loneliness. And as painful as that can feel, those are actually the signs you're on the right road—the road less traveled, the road to freedom, and the road to becoming the person you were born to be.In this episode, I break down what it really looks like to pursue success—not the highlight reel you see on social media, but the real, gritty, lonely process that comes with choosing to live differently. I share why feelings like fear, anxiety, rejection, and even isolation are not signs you're failing, but green lights that you're moving in the right direction. When you feel like giving up, when the yield signs in life tempt you to take the easy path, that's the exact moment you have to decide: I will not yield.I also tell one of the most powerful stories from my own life—how years of setbacks, rejection, and persistence led to a miracle I never saw coming: helping my sister regain her vision. That moment reminded me that staying the course on the road less traveled doesn't just change your life—it creates ripple effects you can't even imagine for the people you love.This conversation is about more than chasing your dreams. It's about recognizing that the pain, doubt, and struggle you're experiencing are proof that you're in the right place. And if you stay on that road—committed, serving others, and refusing to yield—you will not only achieve your dreams, but unlock blessings and opportunities far beyond anything you could picture today.Key Takeaways: • Why rejection, fear, and isolation are actually signs you're on the right road• The difference between the crowded, comfortable path and the road less traveled• Why commitment creates freedom—not bondage—in your life• The role of service in lighting the path when the road feels dark• A powerful personal story of how persistence led to a miracle for my sister• How staying the course opens doors to dreams you can't even imagine yetYou were born for something great. Don't yield. Stay on the road less traveled—because that's where the miracles live. Max out. ⁠

Worried about competitors copying your ideas? Dan Sullivan reveals why context—not just content—makes your thinking truly unique. Learn how The 10x Mind Expander® tool helps entrepreneurs reframe their past successes as springboards for growth, why AI is creating exciting new contexts for creativity, and how to protect your best ideas while staying ahead of the curve. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How adding context helps you understand yourself as an achieving entrepreneur.Why stealing content won't work for you.The best way for creative thinkers to partner with AI.Simple ways to add valuable context to content. Show Notes: For 36 years, Strategic Coach® has delivered new thinking tools every quarter. AI isn't just a tool—it's a game-changing context for how we create and communicate. A 10x revenue goal feels impossible until you realize that you've already done it before. Past growth holds the clues—look back to see how you've already achieved 10x jumps. To grow 10x again, simplify. Keep what works and focus on the few key changes needed. You likely have 50% of what you need for your next 10x leap—your experience proves it. Entrepreneurs accumulate a lot of content (experiences, data) without necessarily knowing what it means. Context transforms content—it's the difference between “what happened” and “why it matters.” Strategic Coach thinking tools give brand new context to content, helping entrepreneurs reframe their past to unlock their future potential. Recognizing how you made a previous jump allows you to see content differently. You have to be willing to go through fear, uncertainty, and discomfort to get to a new level of normal. Content can be stolen, but it falls flat without context around it. Resources: The 10x Mind Expander by Dan Sullivan Unique Ability® Perplexity

Guest post by Cathy Mauzaize, President, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at ServiceNow As businesses shift from AI experimentation to full-scale implementation, bridging the AI trust gap has never been more urgent. While AI-driven innovations drive productivity, they also introduce new uncertainties. Executives across the C-suite must take the lead, embracing change and continuous learning. In EMEA, we are at a pivotal moment. Governments and business leaders alike are looking to ensure the benefits of agentic AI are maximised responsibly. As intelligent agents become embedded across front and back-offices, trust and accountability remain top priorities. Governance isn't just IT's responsibility - it requires active leadership from the entire C-suite. As global AI regulations tighten, clear governance can ensure AI is deployed transparently, ethically, and securely. AI decision-making must be explainable and fair to earn trust from employees, customers, and stakeholders. This trust doesn't just happen - it's built by active commitment, which business leaders must champion from the top down. Attitudes towards AI are shifting The dramatic rise in the use of generative AI and agentic AI has raised valid concerns around security, data privacy, regulatory compliance, and even the risk of employee over-reliance on AI, at the expense of human judgment. The key is balance: pairing the speed of AI with the empathy of human insight. ServiceNow's 2025 Consumer Voice Report shows how attitudes are evolving. Today, only a fraction of consumers in EMEA trust AI to handle a suspicious transaction. Yet, in the next three years, 33% say they would trust AI in the same scenario. Growing confidence signals greater comfort with AI handling critical tasks. Crucially, increased trust doesn't remove the need for human oversight. This isn't a choice of one over the other. AI and humans thrive when working together seamlessly, with leaders setting the direction for integrating AI effectively into workflows. Trust in AI starts with data For AI to be effective and trusted, it must be built on a solid foundation of clean, reliable data. I've seen this happen time and again over the past two years with proof-of-concept projects. Without strong data management that ensures accuracy, fairness, and relevance, AI will deliver weak outcomes - and take longer to deliver value. Meanwhile, users trust AI more when they understand how data is used and how decisions are made. However, biased data can lead to biased results, eroding confidence. By taking the lead in identifying bias and maintaining oversight, leaders ensure AI operates responsibly across both teams and data flows. Transparency shouldn't stop at internal audiences. Communicating clearly with customers about how AI processes data helps foster long-term trust and ensures that business impact is fully understood. Innovative leaders put governance and orchestration at the heart of AI adoption, establishing transparency as a core component of their business transformation. Leadership-led AI AI has the power to transform businesses, offering new ways to solve real-world challenges. This isn't some future promise. AI agents are already delivering tangible results today. One utility provider I recently met in the Middle East is a great example - they're exploring how to leverage AI agents to automate billing dispute resolution by analysing historical consumption data, recommending solutions, and triggering downstream actions. The result: faster resolution times, higher customer satisfaction, and reduced operational costs. Given the tangible value, it's no surprise that IDC projects that, by 2025, 50% of organisations will use enterprise AI agents configured for specific business tasks. Yet, the difference between unlocking AI's full value and falling short comes down to leadership. The path to success starts with leadership buy-in and investment in innovations that enable centralised, transparent, a...

The Robyn Engelson Podcast Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar wellness tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host, a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode, so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.   Episode Title: Why True Success Starts with Alignment, Not Achievement? Host: Robyn Engelson Guest:  Sabine Schoepke Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful midlife reinvention journey of Sabine Schoepke, a seven-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and transformational coach. After building multiple successful businesses, Sabine hit burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. What followed wasn't a breakdown, it was a breakthrough. She sold her company, her belongings, and moved to a quiet farmhouse in Germany to rediscover what truly mattered. Through solitude, healing, and self-reflection, Sabine found a new definition of success, one rooted in alignment, purpose, and joy. Today, she coaches others through similar transitions, helping them turn burnout into a bridge to something better. This conversation is a must-listen if you're navigating a big life change, questioning your path, or craving a deeper sense of meaning.    You'll learn: Why burnout is often a signal of misalignment, not failure? How Sabine's journey through solitude led to personal healing? The difference between achievement and fulfillment. How to listen to your inner voice when life gets quiet? Why reinvention isn't about starting over, it's about starting wiser? Tools and mindsets for creating a life aligned with your values.   Memorable Quotes: “I had built a successful life, but it didn't feel like mine.” “Stillness gave me answers hustle never could.” “You're not starting over. You're starting wiser.”   Resources & Mentions: Sabine Schoepke's Website:  Explore coaching, programs, and retreats designed to help you realign your life with purpose, peace, and joy. https://www.thepowerlifecoach.com/     Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Redefine Success on Your Own Terms Take 15 minutes to journal what aligned success looks like for you, beyond money or job titles. Let purpose lead. 2. Honor the Burnout Signal Feeling off, drained, or restless? Burnout is often a signal, not a failure. Reflect on what your body and spirit are asking you to change. 3. Create Space for Stillness Whether it's a solo walk, a quiet morning, or a weekend away, permit yourself to slow down. That's where clarity finds you. 4. Embrace Reinvention, at Any Age Midlife isn't too late; it's often the perfect time to pivot. Use what you've lived through to guide where you're meant to go. 5. Surround Yourself With Voices That Uplift Whether it's through coaching, community, or content, stay close to people who reflect back your strength, not your fear.   Final Thought: Reinvention doesn't start with a business plan. It starts with a whisper, the one inside you asking, “Is this really the life I want?” Trust that voice. Let it lead you to something more aligned, more joyful, more you.   What listeners have to say: Sabine Schoepke's episode resonates deeply with women navigating career pivots, life transitions, and the emotional weight of burnout. Her story is helping listeners redefine what success feels like, not just what it looks like. Maya S., a former tech executive, shared that Sabine's story gave her permission to step back from constant productivity and finally explore what she wants outside of corporate expectations. Denise K., a midlife entrepreneur, said the idea of “starting wiser, not over” helped her reframe her divorce and business closure as the beginning of something more aligned, not a failure. Nina A., a healthcare leader, reflected that Sabine's move to a remote farmhouse inspired her to take a weekend off-grid, and in that silence, she heard the clarity she'd been chasing for years.   These stories remind us: Midlife isn't a crisis, it's an invitation. Burnout isn't weakness, it's wisdom asking for change. And reinvention isn't about starting again, it's about starting true.   Now it's your turn: What moment, quote, or idea from Sabine's story made you pause?  Did something in her journey mirror your own?  We'd love to hear from you. Share your reflection and help someone else feel less alone in  their own midlife pivot.   Loved this episode? If you found value in this conversation, don't forget to leave a review!

Welcome to another insightful episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business! Today, we're tackling a topic that resonates with so many of us: self-image, self-worth, and the critical voices we battle internally. Host Jennifer Glass sets the stage by reflecting on how media, societal expectations, and even childhood experiences with toys like Barbie can warp the way women (and all of us) view ourselves.Jennifer is joined by Glenda Chen, a guest whose story is as inspiring as it is relatable. Glenda spent over 20 years thriving as a high-earning finance executive, chasing success as defined by external standards—until a life-altering near-death experience forced her to confront what truly matters. Glenda recounts the pressures of corporate life, the constant pursuit of perfection, and the moment she realized her achievements felt empty without inner self-worth.Drawing on her own journey, Glenda shares how she broke free from burnout and redefined success on her own terms, now dedicating her work to helping other women align their inner value with outward accomplishments. In this candid conversation, Jennifer and Glenda discuss the deep-seated influences that shape our self-image and offer practical steps to quiet the inner critic, nurture self-acceptance, and embrace true fulfillment in both business and life.If you've ever found yourself questioning your own enough-ness or tying your worth to achievements and appearances, this episode is for you. Listen in for wisdom, encouragement, and actionable ideas to start rewriting your own story—so that your sense of success finally matches the way it looks from the outside.About my guest: For over 20 years, Glenda Tan thrived in finance, earning seven figures but chasing success through external validation. A near-death experience revealed the truth: Success without self-worth is empty. She rewired her subconscious, broke free from burnout, and redefined success. Now, as founder of Phoenix Realms & The Theta Collective, she helps women align inner worth with outer success—so achievement finally feels as good as it looks.Keywords: self image, inner critic, self worth, external validation, burnout, women in business, success, subconscious rewiring, self acceptance, intuition, body image, media influence, fashion magazines, cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, body dysmorphia, self esteem, self improvement, personal development, life coaching, habit formation, mindset shift, personal growth, inner wisdom, self discovery, self study, relationships, fulfillment, career satisfaction, work-life balance
