Favorite Quote:   “We were constantly trying to grow [the business] past what it was, and just trying to make it bigger and better in terms of serving our clients and giving value, because we wanted it to be completely different from the typical big-box gyms of just, ‘You're a number, we're all about the sales.' We don't want that. We want it to be, get results, get our client's value, what can we do to serve this person and change their life?"   Amy Cattaneo   Connect with Amy and Ray:   Amy's website   Infinity Personal Training   Amy on Facebook   Ray on Facebook   Amy on Instagram How To Get Involved:   From his start in the GPS tracking industry to founding the Step It Up Academy, Tomas Keenan is on a mission to break out of the concept of “average” and reach the success that is anything but.

Ray Zahab… is extreme. Explorer-in-Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, he’s not content to simply run marathons or ultra-marathons. To bike trails or mountains. No, Ray wants to run and bike continents. Put foot and wheel to the world. The Sahara Desert. 70 kilometers a day for 111 days. 400 kilometers across Canada. The arctic. Namibia. Baffin Island. The Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Death Valley. The Amazon. And the list goes on and on. What I love most about Ray, though, is that he doesn’t just go off on all these grand, extreme adventures alone. It isn’t just about beating nature or himself. No, his non-profit, impossible2Possible, brings students from around the world along with him, sometimes physically, often virtually. It lets them be be part of the adventure. And he uses a lot of Apple technology to do it: the Mac to edit and share videos and chats, the iPhone to record his explorations, and the Apple Watch to literally help keep him alive. What Ray does is fascinating and inspiring, but I just had to find out more about how and why he does it.

Did you know that serious players have very high self-esteem? Today we're continuing with our series about serious play, where Ray has been sharing the various characteristics of serious players. Today, we will be looking at characteristic number four, positive paranoia, which is one of Ray's favorite topics. Listen in, to find out what Ray has to share about positive paranoia and serious players. What Ray and Brenda discovered, while doing their interviews and research over four years about serious players, is that serious players assume that if people really understood them, they would value them. So serious players believe that all the things that people are saying about them behind their backs are positive. And all the people who Ray and Brenda interviewed, who described themselves as serious players, had really high self-esteem. Tune in now, to find out about the kind self-confidence that serious players all have. Show Highlights: All the people who described themselves as serious players had very high self-esteem and they saw themselves as truly having value. The serious players all had self-confidence and they didn't have doubts. The serious players that Ray and Brenda interviewed were people who all looked at the glass as three-quarters full, not half full, particularly as it related to them. Serious players tend to get criticized for being arrogant and overly self-confident. Serious players don't take the criticism that's leveled at them very seriously. Ray tells the story of Willy Brown. Because of their positivity, serious players believe in themselves and they can go into places that other people are very fearful of going. Serious players are authentic, they are comfortable in their own skins, they have a high degree of personal integrity, and they enjoy being themselves. Serious players are very happy and they're self-contained. Ray talks about his grandfather, who helped Ray discover his own positive paranoia. How to start tapping into your own authenticity. How learning to accept compliments allows us to discover and appreciate our value. The more we lose and give, the more we will have. Most times, our value is hidden in plain sight and we just don't recognize it. Links: https://thegenysysgroup.com/  

Even if you don’t think of yourself as a marketer, you still have to market your business. Marketing comes in many forms, but pretty much all great marketing involves having great copy. As today’s guest told me, being more mindful in how you write and present your copy will make all the difference and set your brand apart from the others. Ray Edwards is a communications strategist, copywriter, and author of How to Write Copy That Sells. His podcast, The Ray Edwards Show, is consistently one of the top-rated podcasts in iTunes. He’s been featured in numerous prestigious publications such as Forbes.com. Ray doesn’t write as much as he used to. Now he mostly helps others learn to write amazing copy. Ray and I sit down over a cup of coffee to discuss the importance of having outstanding copy if you intend to sell anything. Weaving his own amazing life story (like why he bought a cafe in Spokane) Ray explains how effective copywriting and marketing can be a force for positive change for your business and the world around you. This is an honest and candid conversation in which Ray lays it all out, including a life-altering diagnosis, his personal core beliefs as to the true power of storytelling, and how you can make your brand more authentic and human in order to truly improve not just your business, but those you serve as well. How can you use marketing to authentically connect with your customers? Share your ideas in the comments! Learn about the upcoming free Studio Sherpas training!   In this episode What Ray discovered on his professional journey from radio to copywriting to coaching The policies that Ray has in place in his company that make it a super supportive workplace (and make his lawyer cringe) How a devastating diagnosis helped Ray focus on what’s really important in his business Identifying who you are and what you want so that you can better find your ideal customers Video’s power to humanize a brand, improve people’s lives, and make meaningful change How to convey that you care about people through your marketing   Quotes “I write words that get people to change. They change either what they’re thinking about a subject, what they believe, the actions they take, the kind of life they live, what they buy, what products or services they want to invest in.” [6:32] “One thing you don’t always get to decide is what your story is going to be. You get to decide what it means, I believe that.” [27:27] “Stories are ways for us to see ourselves from the outside -- to understand why we do what we do and what we need to do to change. That’s what marketing is.” [36:44] “If you can figure out who the people like you are and what the stuff is that people like you do, you will never want for customers and for revenue. They will always come to find you.” [38:08] “If you get the words right, the music right, the images correct; you get all that together, it’s like a symphony for all your senses and awakens the stuff inside you that you didn’t know was still there -- the dreams, the aspirations, the pain that you need answered. There’s no medium more powerful than well-crafted film to evoke all those emotions and change in people.” [40:00] “You’re in business to solve other people’s problems. Get clear about what problem you solve. Get clear about how it hurts the person you’re helping.” [45:03]   Links Get How to Write Copy That Sells for free!

Are you familiar with the concept of serious play? Today, we're shifting gears and moving into another element of transformation. We will be introducing the idea of serious play, which has become a hallmark of Ray's approach to his work. Listen in today, to find out how serious play relates to transformation. There's a lot of depth to the characteristics and key principles of the story of serious play. In today's episode, we unpack this concept and we look at the way that it relates to transformation. Today, Ray also explains how he came up with the idea of serious play, and how he started to bring this whole concept together. Tune in now, to find out how creative energy fuels transformation. Show Highlights: The story of serious play is Ray's philosophy of work. Ray explains how he started to bring the concept of serious play together. Ray explains what caused him to became disillusioned, as a student teacher, when he was working with gifted kids. Ray and his friend, Gary, concluded, after two years of conversation, that the majority of the teachers were not expressing who they were, in and through what they were doing. Ray talks about the course that he and his friend developed, called The Development of the Creative Teaching Personality. Most people don't understand that teaching is a creative kind of endeavor. Ray shares the questions that he would always ask his students at the beginning of his course, and what he would tell them after hearing their response. Ray explains why he postulates that the most creative person in our society is the four-year-old. School provides children with very little opportunity to use their imagination. Ray explains what he spoke about in his course, which was designed to help people discover their own creativity. What Ray's students would discover about the creative process, in his course. Where the whole idea of serious play emerged. Serious players know that they are creative. Ray discusses the key class-session that he taught in his course. Ray talks about what he discovered about the connection between tapping into the imagination and creativity, and between serious play and authenticity. The creative energy that comes out of serious players is what fuels transformation.

How intentional do you want to be for creating your future? And are you aware that the more intentional you are, the more responsible you have to become? Today, we continue to move through the Organizational Transformation Model (OTM) that Ray has developed over many years of working with organizational and personal transformation.  In today's episode, we will be discussing the element of planning. Ray will be giving us an overview of planning and he will talk to us about the connection between planning and transformation. He will also share some stories with us about the lessons he has learned along the way about the importance of planning.  Show Highlights: What planning has to do with transformation. What Ray has come to learn about planning. Planning is critical for you to be able to achieve what you seek.  Learning from Elise Boulding about the power of vision, back in the early '80s. Seeing a pathway to the future from a visionary perspective, as a basis for your plans. Ray gives an example of using a visionary pathway to the future as a basis for planning. Integrating vision work into long-range planning. Ray has learned that planning is probably one of the most powerful intervention tools and it engages people to the point of ownership of the vision. The four aspects of planning. Our goals give us direction. Identifying the critical objectives of your goals. Assessing, re-assessing, and aligning how you are operating. Ray talks about one of the great mistakes that are made in organizational life. Employee engagement in the planning process is essential. The importance of evaluating and celebrating progress. The benefits of drawing everyone in with the different elements of planning. Creating a culture of learning in organizations.  Learning comes out of planning.  Ray explains why he has amended the notion of living in the first year of your plan to living in the first 90 to 180 days of your plan. Choosing to be intentional means having to be responsible.   Links: Ray's website: https://thegenysysgroup.com/ Amy's website: www.theartofpoweringdown.com 

We're here again with Ray Rood, the architect of the Organizational Transformation Model that has been central to the work of Genysys and we have another conversation with him about organizational transformation and how to transform. Today's episode is all about Vision, and how to use it to create your future reality. Listen in to find out what Ray has to share about his process called Strategic Futuring, which requires using your imagination to create your future. "Do enough people in your organization share and own a clear and compelling picture of the organization thriving in the distant future?" is the key question that Ray uses in the Genysys group when it comes to discussing Vision with organizations. This is a great question and it's also a really significant one to ask. Listen in today as Ray unpacks the question and explains how important it really is for creating a shared vision for the future.  Show Highlights: Ray explains just how important this key, organizational question really is. The more that people are able to share a common picture of themselves in the future, the more likely transformational change is to take place. Why individual agendas within an organization are likely to conflict with each other and cancel each other out.  Ray explains how an organization, or a group of people, can get a shared vision for the future. The results that can occur when people are able to rally a shared, common vision for the future, within an organization.  How Ray shared his Vision approach with the director of a library. Identifying the stakeholders who are to be part of your shared vision.  What Ray means by stakeholders. Ray has found that about eighty percent of what people come up with, as their vision for the future, is very similar. The way that Ray's Vision Process works with groups of five or six people. Ray is always surprised to find that people tend to come up with a similar vision for the future. One of the greatest sources of organizational energy is a shared vision. A shared vision becomes like a magnet, pulling you into the future. Why imagination plays so much into vision. Why so many adults find it difficult to use their imagination in a positive way. Some important aspects of vision, both within organizations and for people personally. Vision work starts with your history and your vision is a part of a story. Creating a vision is anchored in who you are at your core. Questions are really important for Strategic Futuring because they frame what you want to focus on, using your imagination. Many organizational leaders tend to confuse mission and vision. Why you have to go beyond five years with a vision.

From A Lucrative Job To Professional Trader And Fund Manager In episode 135 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I sit down in Hong Kong with professional trader, fund manager, author, and educator Ray Barros. A lawyer by profession and training, Ray gave up his lucrative law practice in the 1980s to focus on his first love – trading. His initial attempts at trading failed miserably and he suffered heavy losses. But, after making all the mistakes in a trader’s manual and then some, Ray finally hit on a trading approach that gives him the market edge. This approach has proven effective in both trending and congested markets, allowing him to trade profitably and consistently. Thereafter, he was highly sought after by major banks to manage their funds. At the same time, he was also very much sought after as a trainer to train other institutional traders based on the strategies and techniques he developed. In the early 1990s, he became an outsourced FX Trader and this gave him the flexibility to focus his next great passion – teaching.

Meet Ray Maker (pictured above). Via his website "", and his , Ray single-handedly tests, reviews and reports on nearly every self-quantification device that hits the market, including the latest devices from established players like Garmin and Polar, along with new companies like Strava, Zwift, Stages Cycling, 4iiii, and other brands that attract the attention of both the tech world, the bike market, the triathlon industry and beyond - often testing prototypes months before a product is brought to market.

Ray is an avid triathlete and runner, and despite operating DC Rainmaker still works full-time in the IT industry, in a position that requires him to travel the world constantly. He's an American, but now lives in Paris, France, with his wife. His far-flung trips are part of the appeal of his website, as he reports not just on technology, but also on his adventures running, biking and swimming around the globe. A true fitness geek, Ray puts the gadgets he tests through rigorous evaluations, reporting on the nitty gritty details, flaws, benefits, pros, cons, and even delivers the first-hand reports on the latest firmware updates for various devices. He does things like mount multiple power meters on his bike, or wears several heart monitors at once, and often delivers intricate multi-thousand word reports and reviews on every device he tests.

Ray Godbold is a palliative care nurse faced with terminal cancer – but he doesn’t want to die in palliative care. Robyn and Ray Godbold — Photo: Andrew Denton Ray knows what some doctors prefer not to admit. He knows that, even in palliative care, not everything can be taken care of; that a patient’s choices about how they die are very limited; and that, sometimes, their dying involves a wildness nobody can predict. What Ray doesn’t know is that his own death will turn out to be everything he was hoping that he and his family would be spared. 'I've been there when lots of people have had terrible deaths. No matter what palliative care people say, the last 24 to 48 hours of somebody's life can be completely unexpected.'
