In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and my guest, Candace Doby, as we talk about defining courage and bringing out our version of it to live a life with purpose. Candace is a speaker, author, and courage coach who helps emerging leaders activate their courage to perform to their potential in school, work, and life. She combines a decade of research on courage with her experiences leading marketing teams, solo traveling to more than 20 countries, writing a book, and starting a business. In this episode, Candace also shares more on these unique experiences and the implementable strategies they equipped her with. As always, there's a lot to unpack, so stay tuned and enjoy the show!The Three C's to CourageAccording to Candace Doby, courage is so complex that it consists of three components—cause, confidence, and competency. When choosing to take risks, the first thing we have to keep in mind is our “cause.” And whatever this cause should be something so valuable to us that any risk is worth taking. In other words, it is what motivates us to make a choice. And again, these values don't have to be set in stone. Look inward and ask yourself, what do you value in life? In turn, your answer will be your anchor, a reminder of why you chose to take any risks in the first place. Now the second C is about our confidence. You see, confidence is critical to courage as they go hand in hand. And as Candace best described it, they are like Jay Z and Beyoncé—you absolutely cannot separate them. After all, what often stops people from choosing is not being confident in the choice itself. Then again, confidence also stems from the third C, our competence, which includes our skills, proficiencies, experiences, and knowledge. You can't be confident in something you don't have or don't know about. And so, we need to have a level of knowing where we can navigate the unknown and be comfortable pursuing it at all. Hence, in being confident in your competencies, you can act courageously according to your values. Outline of the episode:[03:03] Defining courage and the importance of living by it[05:19] How Candace stumbled upon being a “courage coach”[10:48] Why she focuses on coaching emerging leaders[16:12] Struggling with courage amid the pandemic[18:09] The power of being your #1 supporter[20:50] Tapping out even when tapped into your purpose[24:01] The three emotions that make us miscalculate risk.[29:33] How losses always seem to loom larger than gains[35:24] Her advice to anyone struggling with the crisis of confidenceResources:Website: https://candacedoby.com/Courage Hotline Podcast: https://candacedoby.com/courage-hotline-podcast/Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Personal Website: https://tayorockson.com UYD Management: https://uydmanagement.com/ UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collective Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/TayoRockson See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, we welcome Patrick J. McGinnis once again to talk about the next phase of FOMO, also known as the “Fear Of Missing Out.” Patrick is a venture capitalist, a speaker, a writer, and the creator and host of the hit podcast FOMO Sapiens, which has surpassed 3 million downloads. He coined the term FOMO and the related term FOBO or “Fear Of a Better Option” in a 2004 article in the student newspaper of Harvard Business School. FOMO has since been added to the dictionary, and FOBO has become an increasingly popular framework to describe choice paralysis. Today, Patrick also shares his experiences on how FOMO has evolved during the pandemic and how you can make decisions right now, given the new normal we have today. There's a lot to unpack, so stay tuned and enjoy the show!Be Comfortable with Missing OutDecision-making has become a big focus in Patrick's framework to dealing with FOMO. After all, the Fear of Missing Out is, at its core, a decision-making problem. We make tons of decisions every day, but not every decision leads to the life we want. And with the world today, we are spoiled for choice so much that we often get overwhelmed by them. As a result, we end up making decisions based on fear rather than actual logic. Even when we get into analysis paralysis, choosing nothing is still a decision based on fear. And so, in a world of overwhelming choice, we all need practical decision-making. Luckily, in Patrick's new book Fear Of Missing Out, he teaches us how to get rid of all the noise and tune in to what is truly important to us. Then again, choosing what we want is one thing, but moving on to avoid getting stuck in a cycle of regret is another. It will be difficult, sing most people struggle with letting go of what could be. But in the end, being comfortable with missing out and choosing what feels right to you and no one else will always lead to what should be.Outline of the episode:[01:56] Looking back at the episode where Patrick first appeared.[04:04] How FOMO never left but instead evolved during the pandemic.[06:37] Underestimating COVID's impact and dealing with the trauma.[08:03] What Patrick found to be the most helpful to come out of the pandemic.[11:37] Why diversifying our investments is essential now more than ever.[14:02] How to find a decisive way to make the right choices amid the new normal.[18:36] A framework on decision-making to help us decide, let go, and move on.[21:26] How FOMO and getting out of it can be applied to any aspect of life.[26:31] Vaccine passports and the divide among the vaccinated and unvaccinated.[38:42] How crises like the pandemic often show what our society is at its core.[45:00] Why society should have a shared set of values and encourage critical thinking.Resources:Website: https://patrickmcginnis.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1492694940Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Personal Website: https://tayorockson.com UYD Management: https://uydmanagement.com/ UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collective See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join me and my guest, Rita McClenny, as we talk about the state of Virginia's rich history and the diverse community it fosters today. Rita serves as the president and CEO of the Virginia Tourism Corporation, a state agency charged with marketing the Commonwealth as a premier travel destination and film location. Their mission is to expand domestic and international inbound travel and motion picture production to generate revenue and employment in their state. Today, Rita also shares her thoughts on traveling in 2021 and how Virginia stepped up, becoming a leading destination in the United States. Virginia Is For LoversRita believes that love always wins over hate. But, for “love” to prevail, we need to pour it out into the world, so it can keep growing. And so, at the Virginia Tourism Corporation, their mission is to tell authentic experiences from the state's past so that people can learn from them and pass these stories on to future generations. After all, the past becomes a reflection of the future if we choose to ignore it. But once we have acknowledged it, a new and possibly brighter future is born. But again, we have to keep with the circle of love and light for this to be possible. Hence, Rita and her team always make sure that Virginia is a safe place for everyone. They welcome anyone with any combination of travel experience in hopes that they could find something to love in Virginia. There, everyone stands for love, equality, and inclusion. They even have a DEI statement in VTC because they believe in it. And they are always happy to show you through their diverse community and rich history. So, if you are looking to travel to Virginia soon, check out their website in the links below! And soon enough, when you get there, you will see why Virginia is for lovers.Outline of the episode:[03:33] How Virginia evolved to telling authentic experiences in its history[05:47] How the state became a leading destination, especially for black travelers[06:45] Rita's plans for the VTC as the travel industry rebounds amid the pandemic[10:45] Virginia being a prime place for filmmakers and storytellers to visualize their stories[12:58] The valuable role of tourism and film in the rehabilitation of the state's economy[14:32] Where history started and how terrain played a role in America's growth[16:30] What advice Rita has for female travelers and leaders alike in these trying times[18:19] Her life growing up and what led her to pursue tourism[23:06] The value of word-of-mouth after providing a good experience in tourism[24:56] What the future looks like for people of color in Virginia[26:08] How love always wins despite media choosing to show hateful deedsResources:Website: https://www.vatc.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rita-mcclenny-29482186/Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Personal Website: https://tayorockson.com UYD Management: https://uydmanagement.com/ UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collective Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tayorockson Podcast:
