In this episode, we sit down with Jaclyn Orent, co-founder of Cultural Catalyst, a peer network for seven-figure founders who are committed to creating meaningful cultural change. Jaclyn shares her journey from sales leadership and consulting into studying consciousness, systemic change, and the science behind sustainable transformation. Drawing on the work of renowned thinkers like Richard Boyatzis, Dr. Benjamin Hardy, and Dr. David Hawkins, she explains how Cultural Catalyst applies proven frameworks such as Intentional Change Theory and resonance-based relationships to help high-level leaders evolve personally while expanding their impact. Jaclyn also unpacks what it truly takes to scale change exponentially—highlighting the power of peer relationships, shared vision, and nervous system regulation through tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). You'll learn why connection at your level of leadership is not just a "nice to have," but a neurological and physiological necessity for long-term growth, legacy, and fulfillment.

New Year's resolutions promise hope, but for many people, they quietly deliver shame, stress, and self-blame instead. If resolutions leave you feeling worse about yourself every January, this episode explains why — and what actually works. Host Gabe Howard is joined by returning favorite Jodi Wellman to unpack why traditional goal-setting often backfires, especially when it comes to mental health. They explore the psychology behind the “fresh start effect,” how all-or-nothing thinking sets us up to fail, and why massive lifestyle overhauls rarely stick. More importantly, they offer practical, compassionate alternatives; Like shifting from rigid goals to identity-based habits, process-focused wins, and restarting without guilt when things go off track. Listener Takeaways The mental health cost of setting outcome-based goals Why smaller, process-focused goals actually create lasting change How to restart a goal without guilt or self-punishment Whether you've already ditched your New Year's resolutions or never believed in them to begin with, this episode explores a healthier, more realistic way to create change—without harming your mental well-being. “What is really common, which is set a goal. Don't get there. Feel bad about it. So net net it's not a good experience. For many of us, that's problematic because we feel badly about ourselves [. . .] And maybe that's your version of self-compassion is to let that goal gracefully go.” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP Our guest, Jodi Wellman, MAPP is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living. She founded Four Thousand Mondays to help people make the most of the time they are lucky to be above ground.  With 25 years of corporate leadership experience (most recently as Senior Vice President of Operations at a leading health and lifestyle organization), Jodi has led private CEO advisory boards and coaches teams to work well and live even better.

Do you work with family? How does relationship-based networking impact your life? Your company?  Your bottom line? What are some of the biggest misconceptions about networking? In this week's episode of The Crushing Debt Podcast, Shawn & George talk to Spencer Reynolds and his son Kamryn Reynolds, Co-Executive Directors of BNI Tampa. Originally from Northern Utah, Spencer and his family packed up and  moved to Florida in 2017, trading mountains for sunshine and lakes. With  his wife, Tricia, running the show (let's be honest, she's the boss) and their  four incredible kids—three adventurous adult sons and their adopted  princess, almost 16—they're all about outdoor thrills, especially water sports  and international adventure travel. And when we say "thrills," we mean it!  Spencer's an adrenaline junkie—skydiving, hang gliding, mountain biking,  and even trekking to Everest Base Camp with his brothers. If it involves  speed, heights, or a near-death experience, he's probably done it… twice.   (Ask about their Grand Canyon White Water Rafting trip from last year,  wild!)  Before becoming the networking master he is today, Spencer spent 12  years as a mortgage broker before making the leap into professional  speaking and training in 2005. He's taken the stage in every major city  across the U.S. and Canada, teaching professionals how to build systems,  work By Referral Only, and grow businesses the right way with referrals.  Through BNI, he's expanded his reach globally, inspiring thousands of  entrepreneurs to unlock the power of relationships. Kamryn Reynolds is a communication coach, keynote speaker, and the youngest Executive Director in BNI history. He's the founder of Articulate Advantage, helping professionals speak with power, clarity, and confidence. A USF grad, Eagle Scout, and fluent Spanish speaker after serving a two-year mission in Argentina.  Kamryn now specializes in keynotes and trainings for high-end hotels and resorts. Known for his high energy and practical frameworks, he's on a mission to become an Ironman, a TEDx speaker, and an international voice for intentional communication. He lives by one core belief: connection is the currency of opportunity.  Spencer, Kamryn, George & Shawn talk about: What surprises them the most about working together. Early money lessons.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

One of the most common mistakes I see speakers make is trying to deliver a six-week course or a full-length book in a 45-minute talk.And then they wonder why: • the audience looks overwhelmed • the energy drops • no one remembers their message • leads don't convertHere's the mindset shift that changes everything: Same message. Different medium. Different strategy.When your message doesn't match the format, your talk can feel confusing, overwhelming, and forgettable — no matter how good your content is. But when your message fits the medium, your impact multiplies.In this episode, I share:The reasons you want to cram more content into your presentationsHow each format — lead generation presentation, keynote, workshop, course, coaching, and book — plays a distinct roleWhy books are uniquely powerful for depth, nuance, and authority (and how this ties into my upcoming author interviews)How to escape the expert trap and step into thought leadershipIf you're building talks, presentations, workshops, courses, or a book, this episode will completely change how you think about your content ecosystem.Ready to build a signature talk that gets you the results you want?

What if charitable giving could be simpler and more impactful?In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed John Bromley, founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, grew up in a family where charity was a core value. Starting his career in corporate finance at PwC and RBC Capital Markets, John later transitioned to work with leading charity law experts, gaining a deep understanding of the complex charity sector. Recognizing the need for a more accessible and effective approach to philanthropy, he founded Charitable Impact to help people turn their desire to give into meaningful action. The platform has since facilitated over $1.4 billion in donations, empowering individuals to nurture their generosity and create lasting change in theworld. John's vision is rooted in the belief that while the desire to help others is natural, knowing how to make an impact through charitable giving requires support and guidance. Through Charitable Impact, John is making philanthropy more inclusive and impactful for all Canadians. John is a two-time TEDx speaker, a Business in Vancouver Forty Under 40 winner, a soccer coach, and a doting father of two kids.Wondering how charity and business can work together?

Sarah Eustis, CEO of Main Street Hospitality, shares how she thinks about growth through the lens of irreplaceability. She explains why historic hotels with emotional and cultural relevance often present stronger long-term opportunities than new builds, especially in today's environment. The conversation explores stewardship as an operating and investment discipline, where thoughtful repositioning, branding, and revenue management unlock value without erasing identity. Hospitality leaders will take away a clear framework for building durable advantage by leaning into what makes a property impossible to replace.See Sarah's TEDx talk: Old Wine in New Bottles: Generational Hospitality & ReinventionSee our earlier conversations: From 14-Year-Old Housekeeper to Ralph Lauren to CEO: What I've Learned in Hotel Management and Beyond The Box and the Wavy Line: A Smarter Way to Lead Hospitality A few more resources: If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here.

We all start life curious. Asking questions. Exploring. Wondering why. Yet somewhere along the way — especially at work — curiosity can begin to fade. Not because we stop caring, but because we're rewarded for certainty, speed, and having the answers. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by leadership strategist, researcher, and TEDx speaker Dr Debra Clary to explore why curiosity isn't a “nice-to-have”, it's a leadership superpower. Drawing on decades of experience inside global organisations like Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, and Humana, Debra shares why curiosity can be learned, measured, and deliberately strengthened. Together, they unpack how curiosity drives performance, engagement, trust, and better decision-making — and why leaders who stop asking questions often unintentionally shut others down. They also explore Debra's research-backed Curiosity Curve, the four drivers of optimal curiosity, and why curiosity matters even more in a fast-moving, AI-driven world. If you care about building teams where people feel seen, heard, and able to contribute, this conversation will change how you think about leadership. ----more---- Key Takeaways Curiosity is learned, not innate. Debra's research shows curiosity can be developed, measured, and strengthened at every level. Certainty kills contribution. When leaders prioritise speed and answers over questions, they unintentionally shut people down. Great leaders play the long game. Asking questions builds confidence, capability, and future leaders — not just short-term efficiency. Curiosity is a human advantage in the AI age. AI delivers answers; humans still need to ask the right questions and apply discernment. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 01:11 – Why curiosity is natural — and why it matters at work 07:57 – “Can curiosity be learned?” The question that changed everything 10:54 – What an Italian train journey taught Debra about certainty 13:36 – “Curiosity killed the cat” — the part we all missed 17:41 – Why disengaged employees feel unseen and unheard 26:15 – The Curiosity Curve explained 34:30 – Why senior leaders score higher on curiosity 38:51 – Curiosity, AI, and discernment 42:49 – Debra's 3 Sticky Notes for curious leadership ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Dr Debra Clary on LinkedIn here Follow Dr Debra Clary on Facebook here Follow Dr Debra Clary on YouTube here Find the Dr Debra Clary's website here Find The Curiosity Curve here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Colin Cooper, CEO and co-founder of Illuminate XR, to explore the massive skills gap threatening our workforce. With over 100 companies under his belt and thousands of global hires, Colin has witnessed firsthand how our 200-year-old education system is failing to prepare people for today's AI-driven world. Discover how immersive technology, emotional intelligence training, and personalized learning are revolutionizing the way humans learn, and why the next few years will determine whether we step into the "age of humanity" or fall behind forever. Four Key Takeaways The Education System Is 200 Years Behind (4:42) Our schools still operate on an industrial-age factory model designed to create compliant workers, not creative thinkers. Classrooms haven't fundamentally changed in over 1,000 years, and curriculum remains rooted in preparing students for a world that no longer exists. Meet Learners Where They Are (7:40)Real learning happens when you reduce cortisol and increase dopamine by connecting education to personal interests. Whether it's tailoring physics lessons to football or basketball, or using horses to teach emotional intelligence, personalization is the key to engagement and retention. AI Should Amplify, Not Replace (20:05) The future isn't about AI replacing teachers or workers—it's about using AI as a personal assistant to handle repetitive tasks. Start by identifying one repetitive task in your job and automate it with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity. We're Living Through 25 Years of Progress Every Year (29:20)The convergence of AI and VR—technologies that shouldn't have merged for another 15-20 years—has compressed innovation timelines. What used to take 10-15 years to bring to market now takes weeks. The next 3-4 years will be transformative, and we have one shot to get it right. Quote of the Show (29:40):"When a year goes by, you normally get one year's worth of progress, but where we're at today, a year goes by and it's like 20 to 25 years of technology growth." – Colin Cooper Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Join Kimberly Braun — minister, TEDx speaker, author, former Carmelite nun, and meditation coach — as she guides you through a heart‑centered exploration of remembrance, silence, and conscious presence in everyday life. In this moving talk, Kimberly weaves poetry, theological insight, and embodied mindfulness to illuminate how stillness and inner awareness open us into deeper connection with ourselves and all creation, helping you awaken to your true nature beyond ego, belief systems, and distraction. Whether you're new to contemplative practice or deepening your spiritual path, this message is an invitation to live from the divine love within and integrate spiritual experience into ordinary life.

To make good creative work, you'll inevitably do a lot of bad work along the way. So building a thriving creative practice relies on showing up and doing the work consistently, whether you feel inspired or not. And we can get trapped into thinking that if only we had the perfect space, or the best pen, or right notebook, it would all be easier. This is a preview of a premium episode. To listen to the full interview, visit: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/austin-kleon But our guest today, Austin Kleon, has built a remarkable creative practice around a deceptively simple toolkit: index cards, newspapers, scissors, and glue. He's the bestselling author of Steal Like an Artist, Show Your Work, Keep Going, and Don't Call it Art. What makes Austin's approach so valuable is how he's translated these ideas into a sustainable daily practice that's lasted over a decade. In our conversation, Austin shares why he starts every day writing in his diary before he picks up the phone, how constraints (time, space and materials) actually unlock creativity rather than limiting it, and why the path to doing your best digital work might start with picking up a pen.

How can leaders ensure their message lands with clarity, confidence, and influence? In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry sits down with Dr. Laura Sicola to discuss how leaders can strengthen their influence by mastering their leadership voice. Laura introduces her "vocal executive presence" framework, built around the three Cs: Command the room, Connect with the audience, and Close the deal. Kevin and Laura break down the three communication channels every leader uses—verbal, vocal, and visual—and why alignment across all three is essential for credibility. They unpack common leadership communication pitfalls, such as overwhelming others with too much "relevant" information instead of focusing on what is truly essential, and how habits like vocal fry, weak openings, or cluttered slides can quietly erode influence. Laura also shares memorable frameworks, including the 60-to-60 rule for opening meetings and the "prismatic voice" to remain authentic in different situations. Laura's Story: Dr. Laura Sicola is an executive communication coach, 3x TEDx speaker, and author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. With over two decades of experience working with Fortune 500 companies, global nonprofits, and government agencies, she empowers leaders to show up powerfully and speak with confidence in high-stakes conversations. Her proprietary "Vocal Executive Presence" framework helps leaders command the room, connect with their audience, and close the deal. She is a cognitive linguist by training and former faculty at the University of Pennsylvania.

Wisdom from North -her assistant will follow up with affiliate link to share   One of the unexpected gifts of my Hashimoto's diagnosis 14 years ago was awakening to the deep connection between my voice, my truth, and my power. Back then, I was a gold-star people-pleaser — constantly giving my authority away to people I assumed knew better than I did.  It's no coincidence that the thyroid sits at the throat chakra — the energetic center of expression, truth, and self-honoring.  Side note – starting this podcast was one of the clearest messages I ever received from my Higher Self, a divine nudge to heal my voice, reclaim my truth, and trust what was moving through me. In today's episode, I'm joined by Jannecke Øinæs, host of the wildly loved Wisdom from North, who shares a parallel and powerful journey — from child star to spiritual awakening, catalyzed by the profound experience of losing her voice. If you've ever felt called to trust your inner knowing, soften self-judgment, or come home to your authentic truth, this conversation is for you.   Takeaways Jannecke's journey from child star to spiritual teacher was marked by significant challenges. The Jante law in Norway influenced Jannecke's self-perception and led to struggles with self-worth. Experiencing a loss of her voice catalyzed Jannecke's spiritual awakening. Self-love is a continuous journey that requires ongoing effort and compassion. Mystical experiences can provide profound insights and affirmations of spiritual truths. The universe is vast and intricate, filled with beauty and love. Authenticity is essential for true self-expression and connection with others. All prayers are heard, and there is no limit to divine love and support. Returning to the innocence of childhood can help us reconnect with wonder and joy. We all have access to the divine within us, and meditation can help us tap into that connection.   About Jannecke Jannecke Øinæs is the founder and host of Wisdom from North, a leading podcast exploring spirituality, consciousness, and human potential. A former child star, Jannecke now interviews some of the world's most respected spiritual teachers and thought leaders, sharing insights on awakening, self-love, and living in alignment with truth.   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Join Julie Reisler weekly, podcast host, intuitive coach, author, and multi-time TEDx speaker, each week to learn how to access your spiritual gifts and inner guidance to be your You-est You® and achieve greater inner peace, spiritual connection, happiness, and abundance.

In this soul-stirring episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy Natalie sits down with Jen Aks, an embodied leadership coach and author of the transformative book, Your Body is Speaking. Together, they explore the profound shift from living exclusively "from the neck up" to reclaiming the intuitive intelligence of the entire physical form.Jen shares her powerful journey of overcoming a decade of misalignment—moving from a state of frozen insecurity to discovering "Body-Set," a practice that prioritizes somatic wisdom over logical overthinking. The conversation dives into Jen's signature methodology, The Power of Gesture, revealing how simple hand movements can communicate directly with the brain to regulate the nervous system and unlock authentic expression. This episode is a call to action for every woman to stop bypassing her truth and start leading from a place of deep, embodied trust.Themes: Real alignment happens when you stop overthinking and start integrating the body's deep wisdom.Your hands are a direct neurological portal from anxiety to safety and clarity.Reclaiming your brilliance by embracing emotional and kinesthetic wisdom over societal boxes.Build radical self-trust by giving every internal emotion a voice instead of gaslighting yourself.True leadership is the ability to guide others through the safety and authenticity of your own presence.Your unique energetic resonance is the one thing AI can never replicate.Somatic tools allow you to bypass "fight or flight" and return to empowered action.

Emotional eating isn't about willpower — and for many women, midlife is when it finally becomes impossible to ignore.In this powerful episode of Asking for a Friend, Michele Folan sits down with emotional eating expert, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author Tricia Nelson to unpack what emotional eating really is, why it intensifies during midlife and menopause, and how women can finally break free from decades of dieting, shame, and self-blame.Tricia shares her deeply personal story — from childhood emotional eating and binge drinking to sobriety at 21 — and explains why food is often used as a coping mechanism for stress, unprocessed emotions, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and burnout. Together, Michele and Tricia explore how hormonal shifts, caregiving roles, identity changes, and boundary struggles collide in midlife, making emotional eating patterns louder and harder to manage.This conversation goes far beyond food rules and meal plans. You'll learn how emotional eating shows up as pain-killing, escape, and self-punishment, why dieting alone never solves the problem, and what it actually takes to heal your relationship with food — without restriction, guilt, or obsession. Tricia also addresses the misunderstood link between emotional eating, addiction, alcohol, and highly processed foods, and explains why healing requires addressing emotions, stress, and daily habits together.If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of “doing everything right” but still struggling with food, weight, or self-trust — this episode will feel like someone finally put words to your experience.Tricia is the author of Heal Your Hunger and founder of Heal Your Hunger, a proven program helping women end emotional eating by addressing the root causes — not just the symptoms.

Have you ever hesitated to call yourself a speaker… or a thought leader… even though you know you have something important to say?I see it all the time: brilliant women who have delivered keynotes, led workshops, facilitated panels, taught classes, and spoken on stages — yet still say, “I'm not a speaker.” Sound familiar?So in this episode, I'm gently (okay, maybe a little lovingly persuasively) challenging you to rethink that hesitation.We dig into why so many women resist claiming the identity of speaker and thought leader, what's really happening beneath the surface, and — most importantly — how to start shifting that identity in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and aligned with who you truly are.I also share something personal: my own struggle with claiming the identity of writer as I work on my book. Yep, even after hundreds of podcast episodes, years of speaking, and decades of communication work, identity shifts can still feel vulnerable. You're in good company.In this episode, you'll learn:Why women often resist calling themselves speakers and thought leadersHow comparison and perfectionism quietly keep us stuckThe surprising psychology behind identity shifts (inspired by Atomic Habits)Simple, concrete steps you can take right now to start owning your voiceWhy claiming your identity isn't about ego — it's about impactI also share practical actions you can take today — from small LinkedIn tweaks to mindset shifts — that will help you step into your role as a visible leader with more confidence and ease.And because I love a powerful real-world example, I read a moving testimonial from one of our retreat clients that beautifully illustrates what happens when women finally own their voice and presence.If you've ever felt like you're playing small, waiting until you're “ready,” or hesitating to fully step into your visibility, this episode is your loving nudge forward.Because the truth is: we need your voice.This episode originally aired as episode 391 on May 6, 2024.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/391/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxBook mentioned “Atomic Habits”: https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-Proven-Build-Break-ebook/dp/B07D23CFGR/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 371: What to Include in Your Speaker Video Reel and Speaker PageEpisode 407: Building Your Speaking Platform as an Author (Even If You're an Introvert!) with Tiffany HawkEpisode 257: Writing a Book Gives Your Ideas Depth and Longevity with Tiffany HawkEpisode 301: Why We Get Imposter Syndrome and What to Do About It with Melody Wilding

She built a brand that caught the attention of Goop, TEDx, and Silicon Valley's elite. Orgasmic meditation was sold as empowerment and connection.

Self-doubt is often mislabeled as a confidence problem, which causes people to hesitate instead of act. The real cost is momentum, because confidence is built through action, not something you wait to feel before moving. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Dr. Shadé Zahrai. We also chat about why high performers still experience self-doubt, the ping pong ball vs golf ball analogy for detaching from doubt, and why self-image drives behavior more than motivation. Dr. Shadé Zahrai is a behavioral researcher and peak performance educator with a PhD in organizational behavior. She has designed and delivered programs for Fortune 500 companies including Google, Microsoft, LVMH, JP Morgan, and McKinsey. Her work has reached millions through LinkedIn Learning, TEDx talks, and global leadership programs. What We Discuss: (03:10) Why the opposite of self-doubt isn't confidence but self-trust (08:42) Why high performers still experience self-doubt and act anyway (14:25) The ping pong ball vs golf ball analogy and how doubt becomes identity (21:30) Why affirmations backfire when the brain doesn't believe them (28:55) How self-image shapes behavior more than motivation or discipline (36:40) The scar experiment and why we experience reality through expectation (44:15) Why saying yes too quickly damages self-trust and decision quality (01:21:26) How your partner's dependability and discipline shape long-term career success Thank you to our sponsors: Prolon: Get 30% off sitewide plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-Day Program!
