Episode in a Tweet: Most of society, unfortunately, is on an unconscious journey to arrive at death safely, meaning that we get in a rut. Don't do this. Live your life by design. Background: I met Ron at a CEO Coaching International CEO Summit last year, and he inspired me with his story of changing his mindset to break free of limiting beliefs and living life from a place of fear. He is a remarkable human committed to helping others and making an impact. During this episode, Ron and I talk about how his life changed when he changed his thinking, quit drinking and expanded his mind through the use of medicinal psychedelic therapy. He shares how his life changed when he quit drinking and started trusting others to help him grow his business. We talk about how labels can define us negatively and why you should blueprint your life so that you can live your life by design, not default. We talk about how we have more capacity to give and be compassionate when we work on improving and understanding ourselves. My favorite part of the interviews is when he talks about why people live life trying to die safely. Powerful stuff. This episode is not your average leadership talk; it's spiritual, engaging and life-changing. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

If you’re a regular listener, then you know that mental health is a very important topic to me. Mindfulness is something we can all learn to practice to help deal with the stress of life. I saw today’s guest on a TED talk, and I knew I had to bring her to the show. A self-described “brain geek,” Dr. Kristen Race has spent the last 12 years exploring the nexus between mindfulness and neuroscience. She is the author of Mindful Parenting, the founder of Mindful Life, and Head of Mindfulness at Solvasa, a pioneer in integrative beauty. Dr. Race has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, CNN, and many more. She’s taught her mindfulness methods to over 50,000 worldwide leaders, including Sheryl Sandberg and Sara Blakely.  The accidental entrepreneur What did you want to be when you were young? The truth is that most of us end up being something totally different than those original dreams. Young Kristen wanted to be an Olympic gold medalist, and it didn’t matter to her what sport it would be. Later, she wanted to be a teacher, mainly because of some inspiring and impactful teachers she had. Kristen started her career as a teacher before her path took some interesting twists and turns. From teaching, she moved into mindfulness, which was a natural flow for Kristen. She was drawn to struggling students and wanted to develop helpful tools for them, so she got a master’s degree in Educational Psychology, and then went on to obtain a doctorate in Child, Family, and School Psychology with an emphasis in neuroscience. Working as an intern in both a high-risk, high-need school and a wealthy independent school allowed her to see incredible levels of stress and anxiety in students. A personal autoimmune disease crisis led Kristen to try mindfulness tools with students, so she formalized a curriculum and began training teachers and parents before she moved on to the world of corporate training.  TWEET: Most of us end up being something totally different than our original dreams. @DrKristenRace #chasingdreams Why trying--and failing--are good for kids Do you like to fail? None of us enjoy the feeling of failure, but it’s necessary for us to experience growth and learning. When we put too much structure on our kids, we don’t allow them to try new things. Part of learning includes taking risks, failing, and getting back up again. It’s the getting back up again that builds resilience. Kids need to have room to negotiate difficult social situations. We can help kids with the stress response in their brains to stress by teaching them to solve problems, control behaviors, think positively, and engage with others. Kristen explains her PBR method for handling stress triggers.  TWEET: Failure is necessary for us to experience growth and learning. @DrKristenRace #chasingdreams Take care of yourself How well do you take care of yourself? Do you feel the need to respond immediately to every single email? Do you feel pressure on the weekends or on days off to be available for work 24/7? If you can’t pull back and give yourself time away from work, then you are adding unnecessary stress to your life. Some organizations realize this, and they are mandating “no email Saturdays” to guard against stressing out their employees. Employers and employees alike need to step up and make clear the expectations on response times; this will help keep people from being stressed out and burned out in their jobs. You can’t sacrifice yourself for any job. Kristen explains how mismanaged stress will take a heavy toll on your health.  TWEET: You can’t sacrifice yourself for any job. @DrKristenRace #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”At the end of each day, think of three good things that happened that day. Share them with someone, or at least write them down. Studies show that forming this habit for two weeks will lead to a significant increase in happiness, a decrease in anxiety and depression, better sleep quality, and better work/life balance.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [:51] Young Kristen’s dreams and the path to entrepreneurship [11:06] Why all these stressed-out students?

Sometimes a kid can be the best example of a dream chaser. This is certainly true of my guest today. His family epitomizes what it means to chase your dreams, as each one of them works hard to pursue their passions. I think you’ll find today’s interview refreshing and inspiring. Travis Wolfe, Jr. is a 13-year-old actor, hip hop and breakdancer, and host. After booking his very first audition for a 6ABC News promo, Travis knew he was destined to be an actor. Within five years, Travis landed the role of “Dele” in the CBS series Bob Hearts Abishola, and he’s been featured in shows like Grownish, The Neighborhood, and Laff Mob’s Laff Tracks. He also has a recurring role on Season 3 of Raven’s Home as “Lil Lo Lo.” Besides acting and dancing, Travis uses motivational speaking to encourage other young people to follow their dreams and pursue their passions. What it takes to succeed as an actor What do you think it takes to succeed as an actor? It’s not as easy as walking into your first audition and riding the easy train to sudden stardom. Travis says that most people don’t realize what a kid goes through in their journey to become a child actor. Putting a show together takes a lot of preparation and dedication from many people besides just the actors. Travis makes many sacrifices for his acting career, but he says it doesn’t feel like a job since he loves what he does. Besides his acting work on the Warner Brothers set, he has several hours of schoolwork to do every day.  TWEET: Most people don’t realize what a kid goes through in their journey to become a child actor. @traviswolfejr #chasingdreams Learning from each experience Do you think most actors experience overnight success? Travis says that it rarely happens that way in the acting profession. He started off doing small parts in commercials and student films, and this path seems to be a normal rite of passage for most actors. Each role is another level to help you get the feel of what goes into the production process. Many actors have stories like Travis---of working hard to achieve their dreams. An interesting fact about Travis’ dreams is that he’d love to be a stand-up comedian someday.  TWEET: Each role is another level to help you get the feel of what goes into the production process. @traviswolfejr #chasingdreams What Travis enjoys the most about acting What do you think is the best thing about acting? You might think it’s the paycheck, but that’s not what Travis says. What he loves most is the opportunity to interact with other people and form relationships with them. Actors don’t just arrive on the set and act in their scenes. Travis explains that he spends time connecting with other actors to make the relationships seem real. He loves to find friends and mentors in his set family at each project. As far as future writing or directing, Travis follows the advice given to him by Mario Van Peebles, who told him to learn to be his own boss. This means learning to write, direct, and produce so that he can work for himself and have more control over his career.  TWEET: Learn to be your own boss. @traviswolfejr #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Keep going. There will always be people who tell you that you can’t do it. Stay faithful, and you’ll get there.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:44] The role of Travis’ parents in supporting his endeavors [4:43] Cultivating “Dele’s” Nigerian accent [6:32] What it takes to be a child actor [8:55] The evolution of roles [10:25] Is there something else for Travis?

Many people make the assumption that it’s too late in life to make a change and chase their dreams. Today’s guest will show you why it’s NEVER too late to pivot from one path to find joy and fulfillment on another. Randy Wilburn is an entrepreneur and serial podcaster. He currently helps design professionals become better leaders, better communicators, and better people. Always learning Do you love to learn? This is one of Randy’s most fascinating traits, and it’s a healthy one for anyone to have. He explains that he’s always been wired to search for more information and knowledge. He was raised by his grandparents after his parents divorced. It was Randy’s grandfather who taught him to take in the rich knowledge available in books and to make books his friends. When he moved into his grandfather’s office/library, his bed literally faced a library wall of books that he can still envision today. Randy’s grandfather was a news reporter who instilled in Randy the love of reading and consuming information through newspapers.  TWEET: We’re all works in progress until we die. @randywilburn #chasingdreams Embrace the journey Do you value your journey through life? Randy has a strong mindset about life and gives advice to others who face doubt, failure, and negativity. He says that the second half can be better than the first half. You can preserve your health and wellbeing into your later years, and you don’t have to give in to disappointment and failure. “Your life is a body of work, and as long as you’re still breathing, then your story is still being written.” Randy cites Harlan Sanders, Ray Kroc, and Sam Walton as examples of people in mid-life who achieved success after multiple failures.  TWEET: “Your second half can be better than your first half.” @randywilburn #chasingdreams It’s NOT too late! Have you given up because you think it’s too late to make a change and chase your dream? Randy uses the accounting term “sunk cost” to explain the amount of time you put into a cause., Sometimes you have to make a decision about what’s best for you and realize that it’s OK to pivot. When something you’ve tried isn’t working, you may need to go in a different direction--no matter what your age. It’s difficult to give up something we held dear for a long time because there is something else out there that will be greater.  TWEET: “Many people have been able to course-correct and find their true north in the process of developing into who they really are.” @randywilburn #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—”Wake up and find an hour for yourself every morning. Figure out affirmations that work for you. Be with your thoughts and reset yourself for the new day.”   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [:25] Get to know Randy [10:45] Why Randy is committed to always learning [14:15] Young Randy’s dreams [18:00] Why Randy wouldn’t change anything in his past [21:03] The importance of the journey [29:20] Don’t chase someone else’s dream [32:26] It’s NOT too late for you [36:45] How reading can help you realize you are not alone [42:50] ONE action for a dream chaser   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Randy on Facebook Randy on Twitter Randy on Instagram Randy’s Website Watch the episode on YouTube at https://youtu.be/cL5Z-m1HQpA   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: The process and the journey are equally as important as the destination. @randywilburn #chasingdreams TWEET: I’ve always searched for the holy grail of information and knowledge. @randywilburn #chasingdreams TWEET: What I’m doing now with podcasting is something I witnessed on a daily basis when my grandfather would interview someone. @randywilburn #chasingdreams TWEET: Most of us are struggling to impress people who don’t even care about us. @randywilburn #chasingdreams

What does it take to truly chase your dreams? For many people, living up to everyone else’s expectations squelches the fearlessness that it takes to go after dreams. Today’s show is all about not losing the youthful exuberance and drive that sets us on the path to our dreams. Monica Rivera is a NYC-based podcast producer, consultant, and speaker who is living a life full of experience by shaking up routines and challenging conventional thinking. She’s the host of YOU WANNA DO WHAT?!--a weekly podcast heard in over 70 countries. YOU WANNA DO WHAT?! Is a podcast about exploring interests, allowing ourselves to change, choose, and try, whether it’s a lifestyle, hobby, fitness transformation, career change, or a bucket list item. Young dreams Does Mom really know best? Monica’s mom didn’t think she could earn a good living or have a stable career doing something creative, so she pushed her into economics. Monica quickly realized it wasn’t her “thing,” but it put her on the corporate ladder. The younger Monica originally wanted to be a singer, and then the first Latina Supreme Court justice, and then a writer. Even though Monica won contests in school with her writing, her mom stepped in to turn her dreams into a different direction. TWEET: If you want to do something, take the first action step and the rest will follow. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams Spotlighting diversity Are there more dream chasers than you would expect? Monica says that everyone has a dream, but we don’t always have the freedom to chase it. She was in a corporate job and felt all her lights dimming. She was unhappy and felt that she wasn’t getting the opportunities she wanted. She knew she had to dig herself out of the hole she was in, and she asked herself, “What happened to the person I used to be?” TWEET: I love connecting the stories of human experience with an audience. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams It’s NEVER too late! Are you waiting to chase your dream? Even though it’s never too late, Monica hears many people say they are waiting for retirement or some other life event. We are conditioned to think we have all the time in the world---and this is the biggest problem in chasing dreams. Don’t wait for retirement! Monica’s advice is to start small by thinking about the things you really loved as a kid, and see if you can connect to those things now. Don’t think you have to give up all fun just because you’re an adult. Most people are way too tied to a timeline.  TWEET: Ultimately, I want to tell stories and amplify voices. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”What’s the one thing you would wish you had done more of if next Friday were your last day? That’s your dream, so go chase it.”   OUTLINE OF THE EPISODE: [:13] How Monica was introduced to me [1:01]Young Monica’s dreams [4:05] Why Monica wants to tell stories and learn people’s “why’s” [4:44] Enhancing the creative side with photography [7:02] Sharing stories through the podcast [8:10] The determination of Cyrus Harper [10:07] Spotlighting diversity [13:15] Holding to our fearlessness [14:30] How Monica has grown [14:55] Monica’s dream podcast guest---Oprah [19:22] How millennials and Gen Z’ers are chasing dreams [21:40] It’s never too late [26:27] Being comfortable can become uncomfortable [28:36] The difficulty in embracing “different”  [32:27] A picture in a ball pit [34:00] ONE action for a dream chaser    Resources: Monica on Facebook Monica on Twitter  Monica on Instagram  Monica’s Website Gregg Clunis episode  Cyrus Harper episode   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: At the end of the day, you have to be happy with the life you live. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams TWEET: Most people think confrontation is a bad word---but I don’t. @youwannadowhat #chasingdreams

Most people probably don’t realize the path that others take to success. We see the finished product and what looks like easy success, but we need to realize that there are very few who experience true “overnight success.” There is usually a long, hard path with ups and downs, and failures are more common than success.  Dawn J. Fraser is a storyteller, educator and nationally-acclaimed speaker based out of York City. She is the host of the live show and upcoming podcast “Barbershop Stories,” which features storytellers performing true tales in barbershops and salons. Dawn has created programs for college students, educators and entrepreneurs to develop leadership potential through storytelling, and is an instructor with The Moth and The Story Studio. She was featured among some of the nation’s top innovators and change makers as a speaker at TED@NYC and has performed in shows including The Moth Mainstage, Story Collider, RISK and The Unchained Tour. She loves being a twin, a Trinidadian, and tweetable @dawnjfraser. Being a volunteer Would you chase your dream if it meant starting out as a volunteer? Dawn graduated in 2004 and went to work for a NYC non-profit. She was laid off and just wasn’t finding what she was looking for, which was using arts to build communities. The 2008 economic crisis made things even worse, so she started volunteering to help coach storytellers. It wasn’t long before she was performing and sharing her stories as the best way to help others. Focusing on volunteering still required Dawn to put forth the hustle and grind to survive - and she learned valuable lessons along the way. TWEET: Sometimes your dream starts out as an unpaid gig, and if you pass on that volunteer opportunity, the next step becomes much harder! @dawnjfraser #chasingdreams Making the leap How do you respond when you know you should take a leap of faith? Dawn wanted to take an online course, but she didn’t have the money. She was told that this course would help sustain her in the future, because it would teach her how to run her own business and charge for her products and services. She made the leap, even though she didn’t think she could afford it, and she focused on developing her website and making contacts. She did all this while consolidating about $20K in credit card debt and learning the discipline to pay it off. TWEET: Investing in yourself, even when you think you can’t afford it, is one of the smartest things you can do to change your situation. @dawnjfraser #chasingdreams Seeing the payoff Are you willing to put in the work to see the payoff? Dawn knew that as a businesswoman and entrepreneur, she had two models to choose from. She could have fewer clients and a higher cost or have more clients at a lower cost. Most people have no idea what a speaker goes through to get to the point of success; they don’t see the volunteer work it takes. There is really no such thing as an overnight success. Dawn explains the first step she took in getting her “foot in the door,” which was to hire a coach to get things going.  TWEET: Most people have no idea what a speaker goes through to get to the point of success; they don’t see the volunteer work it takes. There is really no such thing as an overnight success. @dawnjfraser #chasingdreams Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take--”Use self-reflection, either through journaling, therapy, or talking to a friend. Self-reflection is important and can take many forms.” OUTLINE OF THE EPISODE: [:55] Not a typical day job [8:22] Beginning as a volunteer [13:02] Finding joy in the road before her [17:25] Making the leap [21:25] Putting in the work [23:56] Two models for a speaker/entrepreneur to follow [25:52] Would Dawn change anything?

Today's guest, Liana Chaouli, has been in the work of Image Therapy for over 30 years. She wants to help as many people as possible to see their own beauty – to become empowered through their clothing choices. She loves to teach women how to choose clothes that flatter their bodies and made them feel worthy, strong, and as uniquely beautiful as they truly are, so they can show up authentically in the world! With thirty years' experience as a custom clothing designer, color specialist, and a Master Couturier, Liana is a high-level clothing craftsman, patternmaker, and seamstress who understands all the facets of clothing that fits the way it should on your body. This is a very interesting conversation that reveals much of what Liana is about. You'll be intrigued by the things she has to share today, on the Happy Black Woman podcast. [Tweet "Image Therapy encompasses everything. Find out why on the Happy Black Woman Podcast"] The confusing contrast of confidence in one sphere and insecurity in another. Liana Chaouli was an interpreter at a foreign embassy when she saw this contrast for the first time, and it broke her heart. She was working with the wife of a foreign ambassador, a woman who was stately and confident in certain contexts. But at the same time, hidden deep within was a lack of confidence, possibly even a self-contempt that impacted the way she lived and most importantly, the way she felt about herself. It was that experience that motivated Liana to become an advocate for women (and eventually men as well) finding their true self and living out of the beauty of who they have been made to be. You can hear Liana's unbelievable story on this episode of the Happy Black Woman podcast, so be sure to listen. “When I see a client step into their greatness, that is the proudest moment for me.” That's what today's guest, Liana Chaouli says when asked what makes her the most proud. It's not about her or her accomplishments. It's about seeing other people realize the deep truths about who they are and begin to live those out in the real world. It's an honor she's been able to have over and over as she's worked with people from all walks of life, helping them understand their own personal style and come into their own. You can hear about her fascinating approach to helping people on this episode of The Happy Black Woman. [Tweet ""If we want to get bigger, there is a way." - Liana Chaouli"] Inspired by the presence of awe. When Rosetta asked Liana Chaouli who inspires her, the first answer she gave was “children.” But she quickly rephrased her response to explain that it's the awe and wonder that children experience and express that is what inspires her. She feels energized and alive, ready to tackle the next dream when she sees people enjoying and living in the wonder of life. It's her desire to do that through helping people maximize their wardrobe and appearance to reflect the real person who is inside. Learn more about Liana's approach and work on this episode of the Happy Black Woman Podcast. The #1 tip Liana Chaouli gives to the Happy Black Woman community. On the road to your destiny you'll have many people tell you that you can't do it, that you should do it, that it's dangerous or foolish to go after your dreams. Liana Chaouli has advice for anyone who finds themselves facing that kind of discouragement: Don't listen to people. Well meaning people will bring their past into your present to destroy your future, if you let them. You can't listen to their objections or discouragement. You have to stick to your guns and keep pressing toward your dreams. Rosetta Thurman draws this kind of advice out of her guest today so do what you can to block out some time to listen to this episode.

Do you have a question you want answered on our podcast? We would love to help you! Click here to ask your question! [Tweet "Most speakers don't get paid to speak, but they get paid because they speak"] Resources Mentioned in this Episode Today's expert is Matthew Kimberly from matthewkimberley.com Matthew on Twitter Heroic Public Speaking Book Yourself Solid Let's dive into this week's question! JOCELYN: Hey y'all! You're listening to an Expert Q&A with S&J. Today's expert is Matthew Kimberley of matthewkimberley.com. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down, by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. SHANE: What's going on guys? Welcome back to our Thursday Expert Q&A. We have Matthew Kimberley back with us again today to answer your questions. Matthew, welcome back to the show. MATTHEW: Thanks for having me, Shane and Jocelyn. JOCELYN: Yeah, we are happy that you're here. Today's question is from a Flip Your Life community member, JJ Mayo and JJ says, “I've posted before that as a side hustle, I'm a speaker for a continuing education company albeit making a small portion of my total sales. I'll be interested to know from Matthew, what steps are needed to get higher paid speaking gigs even if I'm not a celebrity. Is it having the right contacts or some system that needs to be followed? Any resources would be excellent.” SHANE: And this is a special planted question just for Matthew Kimberley. Matthew Kimberley is all about booking yourself solid. He's one of the best, live speakers that we have ever seen, so when we knew you were coming back on this show, we went into our premium Flip Your Life membership community and we said, ‘Hey guys, we're gonna give you first dibs on our expert question.' This was one of the first ones that popped up, was just how do I get move live speaking gigs when nobody knows about me. What a perfect question for you. So, how do you do that man? How do you get on stage when maybe nobody knows who you are? MATTHEW: Okay, so I'm gonna presume here and correct me if I'm wrong that when I talk about higher paid speaking gigs, we are talking about getting paid to speak; not getting paid because you are selling from the stage, or because you speak and people book you on the back end; am I right? SHANE: Exactly, JJ wants to speak, like he wants to be a paid speaker, he's not gonna pitch, he's gonna deliver valuable content in this space, he just wants to get more of those gigs and get paid more to do them. MATTHEW: Absolutely; well, I know a few things about this, but not least because my business partner Michael Port is the founder of Heroic Public Speaking, and that's the first resource I think you should check out. Go to heroicpublicspeaking.com and have a look at the stuff that we've put together there for you. At the Hero Public Speaking live in Fort Lauderdale last February, we had this question asked of our expert panel, and they were people like Bob Burg and Scott Stratten and Dorie Clark on the panel. And Dorie said, there are various steps to your speaking career, and I can't remember whether there were three or four, but I'm gonna go through them as I remember them; the first step as a speaker is: 1. When you want to speak but nobody wants to hear you speak, and nobody will pay you to speak. So, first step is no one wants you to speak and nobody will pay you to speak. 2. People are happy to have you speak, but they still don't want to pay you. 3. People will happily have you speak and they'll pay you a little bit. 4. Yes, you must speak and yes, we'll pay you whatever you want.

When we think of ways to make a living, we often get stuck on our training, our college degree, and our past work history. But, many careers have been started out of raw personal experiences. Today I interview one of those career changers - Steve Ozanich, - who went from engineer to author specializing in chronic pain relief. His journey did not take him through medical school, but instead through personal pain and finally relief. "Creative Commons" by Todd Quackenbush tvol is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Click to Listen Why I Wanted this Interview When I invited Steve to do a podcast with me, I had four reasons in mind. Career Defined by Passion - He is another example of someone who took his personal journey and passion to make it his career. In the audio you will hear the passion! Pain is Prominent at Work - Since I know many of you hate your jobs or careers, I can only assume many of you are suffering physical pain and going through a lot of healthcare paths looking for help. Steve might just open you up to the real cause of the pain. New Career Field is Created - Through the obsession of a few medical doctors and the patients, entirely new career fields are being created. It is our job to seek out new paths for our passion - and looking at the old way is not always the path we should take. Leaders are in Danger of Having Chronic Pain - Those who are leaders in many areas of their life tend to get caught in many one way relationships - where you the leader always have to be "on" and holding up your team, your company, and your family. The result is often isolation and very few true friends. Steve reminded me that almost all pain and illness comes from relationship issues, or a lack of connection with others. [Tweet "Most chronic pain comes from a lack of connection with others."] Results of the Interview on The Great Pain Deception 1. We discussed personal life real issues resulting in a new career and how it happened. 2. The power of your mind. So many people in this society have a negative view of themselves and their abilities, they talk themselves out of success. Some of the same issues resulting in pain also result in failure - or perhaps I should say limited success. 3. Dealing with pain. If you suffer from back pain, IBS, carpel tunnel, knee pain, or any other chronic pain this audio and the books listed below might be worth your time to investigate.
