Podcasts about what are you waiting for

In Episode 146 of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, I connect with global changemaker, nonprofit leader, and author Neil Ghosh to explore a kind of meaningful Reinvention that's rooted in empathy, reflection and intentional impact.Neil opens up about his personal journey—from childhood dreams of becoming a doctor to building a purpose-driven career across government, business and global philanthropy. His encounters with the Dalai Lama, President Clinton and others have influenced him along the way.  We explore the pivots, pauses, and personal revelations that shaped his path, and how choosing to do good—on any scale—requires both courage and consistency.This conversation also explores the ideas behind Neil's upcoming book, Do More Good, which gathers life lessons and stories from extraordinary individuals he's encountered throughout his journey. His message is clear: making a difference doesn't have to be overwhelming. It can start small, and it can start now.Together, we unpack what it means to lead with empathy, how to stay grounded in a noisy world, and why Reinvention often begins not with a plan, but with one intentional act.Key Takeaways:Reinvention starts with reflection. The most powerful changes often come from quiet personal insight.Small, intentional acts can ripple outward. Doing good doesn't require a platform—just presence.Mentorship is a form of legacy. Giving your time and attention can change someone's direction—and yours.Empathy is a practice, not a trait. Especially in divided times, it becomes an anchor for impact.Purpose and sustainability can coexist. Nonprofit work doesn't mean sacrificing structure or strategy.Connect with Neil Official Site: www.neilghosh.orgNeil's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilghosh1/Get your copy of his book Do More Good on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Do-More-Good-Inspiring-Extraordinary/dp/B0DJZFG75ZAmazing Huffington Post Article by Neil from Over 9 Years Ago!

What Are You Waiting For? This week's message focuses on the meaning and significance of baptism, through the lens of Acts 22:6–16—Paul's account of his transformation and baptism. Pastor Vicki begins by asking a personal question: What has been your experience with baptism? In Scripture, baptism is a powerful and public response to the saving work of Jesus—a visible expression of new life and a covenant made with God. Across multiple passages (Acts 2, 8, 16, and 22), we see a consistent pattern: when people meet Jesus, they respond with immediate, wholehearted obedience. Baptism is never delayed. It's a next step of surrender. Pastor Vicki reminds us that baptism is both sacrament and symbol—a mystery of God's grace at work and a declaration that our lives now belong to Jesus. She explores what it means to enter a covenant with God and why it's so important to make that commitment public. As Paul recalls in Acts 22, he is told, “What are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on His name.” So today, we ask you the same question: What are you waiting for? Discussion Questions What has been your experience with baptism? What did you notice about the New Testament baptism passages that were shared in the message? What did they have in common? What is a covenant? What is the relationship between baptism and covenant? Why is a public declaration of faith in Jesus important? What is the relationship between baptism and new life in Jesus? How is baptism a sacrament? Explain the significance of God taking the initiative in baptism. Would you consider being baptized (if you never have been) or remembering your baptism? What are you waiting for?

What if we're only in the lightbulb stage of AI—and the real disruption is still ahead?In this episode of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, I welcome Jack Myers, a visionary media ecologist, author, and leadership strategist who has spent decades at the forefront of media transformation. With experience at CBS-TV, ABC Radio, and as the founder of The Myers Report and MediaVillage Education Foundation, Jack brings a rare perspective on how industries evolve—and what it takes to lead through change.This conversation dives deep into Jack's newest book, The Tao of Leadership: Harmonizing Technological Innovation and Human Creativity in the AI Era, and his powerful belief that we are just scratching the surface of what AI will mean for our industries, culture, and creativity. As Jack puts it, we're not even in the internet age of AI—we're still in the lightbulb stage. The implications for media, storytelling, and leadership are just beginning to unfold.We explore the urgent need for leaders who prioritize the human side of innovation—empathy, ethics, and emotional intelligence—and why creativity, not just efficiency or data, must lead the charge. Jack also shares insights on how AI is rapidly accelerating the decline of legacy media, and what it will take for the next generation to rise, adapt, and thrive in a completely transformed landscape.And one of the most powerful reminders from this episode? It's not about what happened in the past—it's about what we do right now.Whether you're a media veteran, a future-focused creative, or just trying to understand how AI will impact your world, this episode is packed with foresight, inspiration, and a call to action for anyone ready to Reinvent with purpose.Key Takeaways:We're still in the “lightbulb moment” of AI—what's coming will reshape industries in ways we can't fully imagine yet.True leadership in the AI era will depend on our ability to balance innovation with humanity.Creativity and empathy must guide our response to data-driven disruption.The future of media and storytelling belongs to those who embrace change, empower others, and reinvent boldly.Jacks Personal Website: www.jackmyers.comOrder Now: Amazon and all booksellersTHE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGEFor more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant and boundary-breaking Juel D. Lane—choreographer, dancer, director, and creative visionary. We had the pleasure of meeting through the incredible dance company I'm on the board of, BODYTRAFFIC.From performing in Jesus Christ Superstar Live and Amazon's Harlem, to creating original works for BODYTRAFFIC, Ailey II, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Atlanta Ballet, and beyond, Juel has carved out a space in the dance world that's entirely his own.But behind the accolades is a story of deep self-discovery, doubt, and fearless creativity. In this candid conversation, Juel opens up about his journey from a young boy obsessed with movement to becoming a nationally celebrated artist and choreographic leader. He talks about the internal battles with imposter syndrome, the power of social media as a modern-day stage, and how finding the right community has helped him thrive, grow, and continually Reinvent himself.Now serving as the Director of the Choreographic Institute at UNC School of the Arts, Juel reflects on the lessons he's learned—about risk-taking, vulnerability, identity, and the discipline of creativity. Whether you're an artist, a dreamer, or someone navigating your own next chapter, Juel's story will inspire you to own your narrative, trust your talent, and keep dancing forward—even when you're unsure of the next step.Key Takeaways:Reinvention means showing up even when you don't feel “ready”—especially when you don't.Owning your creativity requires both discipline and vulnerability.Confidence isn't given—it's built by standing in your story and doing the work.Connection, community, and mentorship are everything in the creative process.Juel's Website: https://jueldlane.com/Juel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jueldlane/?hl=en THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

What does it really take to reinvent yourself, build a successful career, and create opportunities instead of waiting for them? Maha Abouelenein knows firsthand.In Episode 143 of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, host Kathi Sharpe-Ross is joined by Maha Abouelenein, a strategic communication expert, best-selling author, and entrepreneur with more than three decades of experience working with some of the world's most recognized brands. As CEO and Founder of Digital and Savvy, a global communications firm with offices in the U.S. and UAE, Maha has helped Google, Netflix, VaynerX, high-profile CEOs, and major global organizations craft their message, build credibility, and transform their communications strategies.But Maha's career isn't just about high-stakes deals and global campaigns—it's about resilience, self-reliance, and the ability to start over at any stage of life. She shares her journey of moving from Minnesota to Egypt at 27 with no network, figuring it all out, and building a name for herself in the Middle East. Then, at 50 years old, when the pandemic hit, Maha made the bold decision to leave Dubai within 24 hours and move back to the U.S.—this time with no job, no connections, and no guarantees.Maha dives deep into the power of confidence, the reality of creating your own opportunities, and why waiting to “feel ready” is the biggest mistake people make. She also shares insights from her USA TODAY best-selling book, The Seven Rules of Self-Reliance, which outlines strategies for building confidence, mastering personal branding, and taking control of your future.This episode is packed with real talk about Reinvention, from pivoting careers to navigating cultural identity, from networking the right way to understanding why self-reliance is the foundation of success.If you're looking for practical advice on how to take charge of your career, build a powerful personal brand, and unlock new opportunities, this is the episode for you.Key Takeaways:Reinvention is possible at any age and any stage—you just have to be willing to put in the work.Confidence isn't a prerequisite—it's a result of taking action.You don't wait for opportunities—you create them.Self-reliance is the foundation of personal and professional growth.Maha's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maha-abouelenein/details/experience/Maha's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mahagaber/?hl=enDigital & Savvy: https://digitalandsavvy.com/Maha's Personal Website: https://www.mahaabouelenein.com/Order Your Own Copy of Seven Rules of Self-Reliance: https://a.co/d/gZMFCPjTHE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

In this episode of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, Kathi Sharpe-Ross talks with Adam Mizel, co-founder and CEO of US United, about his unexpected journey—from high-stakes finance to leading a national movement for unity.Adam grew up in New Jersey with dreams of making it big on Wall Street. For years, he thrived in the fast-paced world of finance, negotiating billion-dollar deals and treating every day like a high-stakes battle. He embraced the challenge, but as his career evolved, so did his perspective. When his wife became pregnant with their first child, Adam started questioning what success really meant. After years of bouncing between roles in private equity and leadership positions, he found himself drawn to something more meaningful—creating a space for people to reconnect in an increasingly divided world.Now, as the leader of US United, a non-partisan nonprofit dedicated to breaking down social and political barriers, Adam travels the country fostering real conversations and leading initiatives like the Concert for Unity and 30 for Us. This episode is about stepping away from what's expected and building something that truly matters. If you've ever felt like you were chasing a dream that no longer fit, this conversation is for you.If you want to be a unifier and bring people together in your everyday life, here are 10 things you can do for unity—any day, anywhere:Wear Purple – A universal color of unity and a simple way to spark conversation about coming together.Take the Unity Pledge – Commit to listening, understanding, and finding common ground with those around you. (Check out US United's pledge!)Join a 30 for Us Event – Get out of your bubble and engage in real, meaningful conversations with people from different backgrounds.Support the Holiday Spectacular – Participate in a community-driven initiative that spreads joy and connection during the holidays.Reach Out to Someone You've Lost Touch With – Reconnect with an old friend, co-worker, or family member to rebuild relationships and bridge past differences.Start a Unity Challenge – Encourage friends or co-workers to step outside their comfort zones, talk to someone new, or volunteer together.Help Someone Out—No Strings Attached – Whether it's a kind word, buying someone coffee, or lending a hand, small acts of generosity can create ripples of connection.Break the Social Media Bubble – Challenge yourself to follow and engage with perspectives different from your own, and promote messages of understanding.Host a Unity Dinner or Meetup – Gather people from diverse backgrounds to share a meal and real conversations—because food has always been a great unifier.Lead by Example – Speak up for inclusion, promote respect in your community, and make unity a part of your everyday interactions.Unity isn't just a big event—it's a daily mindset. The more we show up for each other, the stronger our communities become.Key Takeaways:The definition of success changes as life unfolds—stay open to where it leads.High-pressure careers shape us, but true fulfillment comes from purpose.Social media shapes our perceptions, but real conversations change lives.True leadership is about connection, not control.Small, meaningful actions can ripple into large-scale impact.US United Website: https://www.us-united.org/US United IG: https://www.instagram.com/us_united_org/Adam's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammmizel/THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

She also explores the role of storytelling in both business and personal growth, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in branding.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration to pivot, evolve and embrace the next chapter of their life with confidence.Reinvention is a lifelong process—there's no set timeline for change.“Fear and Reinvention go hand in hand—you can't have one without the other.”Speaking your dreams into existence creates accountability and momentum.Bringing your whole self to work fosters deeper connections and creativity.Every challenge in life is an opportunity to reshape your story.Robin Roffer - linkedin.com/in/robinf1www.bigfishmarketing.comTHE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual ChatsTo buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

A Young Leader's Guide to Changing the World. It's all about inspiring young people to hold onto their big dreams and take action instead of waiting for the "right time." Josh kicks things off by tackling why so many young people stop dreaming big—disillusionment and distraction. He shares how well-meaning advice from parents, teachers, and mentors often pushes kids toward "safe" career paths, causing them to abandon their passions. Add in the constant stream of media, and many end up living vicariously through others instead of pursuing their own purpose. One moment that really hit home for Josh was his daughter's kindergarten graduation, where kids boldly declared dreams of becoming pop stars, dancers, or veterinarians. Fast forward a few years, and those dreams often shrink under the weight of practicality and expectations. But Josh insists that young people are naturally wired to dream—and his book is about keeping that fire alive. At its core, What Are You Waiting For? is for those who feel stuck, cynical, or unsure about their future. Josh's message is clear: You were created for a purpose, and with faith, anything is possible. He especially wants to encourage young leaders to step up now, not later. Josh shares his own story—from growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska, to moving to Australia at 16, which challenged him to grow in independence and faith. Later, at Boise Bible College, he felt called to ministry, leading to 15 years of experience as a youth pastor and eventually planting Hill City Church in Boise. The conversation also covers Hill City's evolution—from a satellite campus to an independent church, merging with an older congregation during the pandemic, and even launching a satellite campus of their own. Josh paints a vivid picture of their historic downtown Boise building, complete with stained glass and deep community roots. Josh also highlights a growing challenge: fewer young people entering church ministry. He hopes his book will be a tool for church leaders to raise up the next generation, encouraging them to step into their calling now instead of waiting for “someday.” One key idea? Young people's greatest strength can be recognizing their own weaknesses—it makes them open to learning and growth. Ultimately, Josh hopes his book will inspire at least one person to step into ministry or intentional service. He sees it as a practical guide for youth groups, internships, and mentorship programs—not just to inspire but to equip. As the episode wraps up, Josh speaks directly to young people feeling lost or discouraged. He's been there and wants them to know—God has a plan for you. Don't wait. Believe in your potential, take action, and trust that God will work through you. His final message? Hope, purpose, and the courage to step into the calling that's already yours.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this episode of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, host Kathi Sharpe-Ross kicks off the year with an inspiring conversation featuring Madeline Di Nonno, President and CEO of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Madeline shares how a turning point in her career—when two significant life events collided—pushed her to reimagine her path and embrace Reinvention. She reflects on leaving behind a successful corporate career in entertainment to lead a mission-driven organization advocating for inclusion and representation in media. The conversation explores the challenges and rewards of career transitions, the impact of research and AI on gender bias in storytelling, and the importance of staying adaptable in a rapidly evolving world. Madeline's story reminds us that the most transformative moments often come from life's biggest disruptions. Whether you're navigating your own Reinvention or looking for inspiration to start the year with purpose, this episode offers powerful insights and actionable wisdom to set you on the right path. Key Takeaways: Reinvention often begins with a moment of discomfort—embrace it as an opportunity. Life rarely unfolds in a straight line; sometimes, challenges lead us to the most meaningful paths. Take stock of what truly matters to you and let that guide your decisions. AI and technology are reshaping every industry; staying curious and adaptable is non-negotiable. Reinvention is not a one-time event—it's a mindset that you can revisit whenever life calls for it.

  Episode 314   Hey there! Thank you for checking out this episode.  When I first considered living alcohol-free, like many women, I tried the moderation game. I attempted to control my drinking, set strict rules, and negotiate with myself about when and how much I could drink. It was exhausting and unfulfilling! The night I quit drinking, I made the tough decision to go "all in" on what I wanted more than alcohol. At the time, I was 45 and I desperately wanted to feel better. I had an inkling that my drinking wasn't going to make that possible. The purpose of this episode is to help you understand what I mean by going “all in” on living alcohol-free so we are on the same page. I talk about the meaning and what it doesn't mean: Going all in means spending your precious time and energy working on the most important relationship you have - the one with yourself. It doesn't mean perfection or every single day for the rest of your life sober. Instead of draining your mental energy on moderation rules, when you go “all in”, you can channel that energy into personal growth, self-discovery, and building a life that is more in alignment with your values and goals. The “all-in” approach allows you to: Give yourself space to figure out what helps you stay alcohol-free. You no longer turn to alcohol as a solution because you are the solution now. Focus inward instead of seeking external validation through alcohol and outdated messaging that drinking is “acceptable.” Create meaningful change with yourself instead of the drain that comes with trying to make alcohol work. I know it's not easy to decide to stop drinking. What I encourage you to do in this episode is to honor yourself and what you want more than alcohol daily. I will keep reminding you that you are worth the commitment. Going all in on living alcohol-free is the kindest, most caring, respectful, loving thing that you can do for yourself. I'm with you!  Mentioned in this episode: A Compassionate Approach to What Are You Waiting For?  The Mantras: I am my inspiration. I'm all in on me. I matter more than any sip of alcohol.   Let me help you make living alcohol-free in midlife a better experience!

If you're working on freeing yourself from alcohol, I'm inspired by your perseverance.  And if you're at that crossroads wondering which way to turn, just know that questioning your relationship with alcohol is the first step to change. You can do this. I'm with you.  Thank you for allowing me to be part of your road to alcohol freedom. I'm sending you a big hug! Here's to choosing ourselves in 2025.

Episode 310  What Are You Waiting For? A question and episode that comes with a compassionate approach and encouragement to help you get a clear understanding of what is holding you back from going alcohol-free. Asking this question isn't about the urgency to hurry things up and stop drinking. It's about being honest with yourself and easing your mind if you're worried about your drinking and pressuring yourself to quit. I share what I was waiting for: a “normal” relationship with alcohol. When I realized this didn't exist, I chose to stop drinking. It's not an easy choice to make. I'm with you.  To read this episode's full show notes, click here.  Thank you for listening!  Mentioned in this episode: Team Alcohol-Free enrollment coming soon Private coaching enrollment   Let me help you make living alcohol-free in midlife a better experience!

What Are You Waiting For? Breakthroughs Start Where Fear Ends!" In this episode, I'm thrilled to sit down with Jesse Itzler, an unstoppable entrepreneur, ultra-endurance athlete, and master of unconventional experiences. Jesse's journey is built on facing down fear, embracing challenges, and doing what most people would never attempt. From creating Marquis Jet and selling it to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, to venturing into the unknown time and time again, Jesse's story is proof that success is found on the other side of risk. Jesse dives into the art of tackling “the wall” — that point where fear, doubt, and hesitation threaten to stop you. He talks about how he built a mindset that not only pushes through but thrives in uncertainty. When he realized he wanted to experience private jet travel but couldn't afford it, Jesse and his partner went straight to NetJets with nothing but a vision and unshakeable conviction. Against the odds, they secured a deal with Buffett's team, setting the foundation for what became a game-changing business. We also get into why Jesse believes routine kills creativity and how he designs his life around extraordinary experiences. He shares his practice of "Kevin's Rule," a commitment to creating meaningful experiences every two months. Jesse has made it his mission to build a “life resume” filled with unforgettable moments and deep connections. Key Takeaways: Face the Fear Wall: Success often waits on the other side of your greatest fears. Innovate Without Limits: Breaking from tradition can be a competitive advantage. Build Your Life Resume: Pursue experiences that enrich your life and create unforgettable memories. Be Irreplaceable: In every role—parent, partner, or professional—make yourself invaluable. Time is Scarce, Act Accordingly: Treat each moment like it's priceless, because it is. This episode is packed with strategies to turn ambition into action. Jesse's journey reminds us that life is too short to play it safe. Start building the life you want—one bold step at a time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Are you choosing what is true for you or are you choosing what is true for others? This episode of Choice, Change and Action, is an excerpt of a zoom that was held for Access Consciousness Facilitators in the Americas. Join Simone Milasas as she goes through some examples of how choosing for you not only creates greater, but allows other people to choose for themselves too. Choice is not about making the right choice, or getting permission to choose, or only choosing when something else occurs first, like having enough money. As long as you are trying to control your choices, you will have a limited reality. Your limited reality may be better than most, but are you being as great as you?  This is your life. What is true for you?  Ask questions and just choose! See what shows up. That's the adventure of living. Keys to success What Is Your Point Of View? Will Your Choice Create Greater? What Are You Waiting For? Allow The Universe To Contribute To You You've Got This! Who Are You Choosing For? Going Beyond Your Comfort Zone Take Some Action Don't Wait, Create Daily Questions "What am I aware of?" "Whose universe am I in?" "Is this mine?" "What is true for me?" "What else is possible?"
