Igniting Souls Podcast with Kary Oberbrunner

We live in an online world where everything is digital. But there's just something about meeting face-to-face. You pick up on things that you don't pick up on when you're on Zoom — eye contact, appearance, body language. I know there's a cost to fly across the country, but it can be worth it. Use the most intense form of connection you can. Don't put people on the back burner. To find out more, jo...

What's preventing you from sharing your message? Every year after our conference I get this cold sore. I don't stop doing video because of it. I've had amazing chats with people this week, regardless of the cold sore. The video is not about you. When you create content, you are helping other people. Don't let your insecurities prevent you from sharing your message. If I wouldn't have done those vi...

Should you ever do a beta launch for your course? This is a common question. My answer is no. We only do beta launch courses because of low self confidence — because we're scared to launch a course and charge people money for it because we don't think it's good enough. If you beta launch, you will attract people who aren't vested. Their hearts are not in it. So there won't be any transformation. I...

Usually I'm the guy that tells my students to go for it and take risks and action. Today, I was blown away by an email I received. I entered my three-year-old Elixir Project book in a contest for young adult authors. And I Won! It goes to prove that sometimes you have to do the things that you tell others to do.  To check out Elixir Project, get your free book at  https://elixirprojectbook.com/

The other day I got an email that said, "Stop the spammy sales techniques." They were concerned because we say there are a limited number of seats on our webinars. I set up a Facebook Live for our tribe and addressed it head on. The loyalty in the tribe exploded. When situations come up, real leaders don't ignore it.

I find a weird satisfaction in raking leaves. After going, going and going the last few weeks, I needed a time to reset. Sometimes we think every day needs to be this massive achievement. Sometimes the mundane is good for our bodies and our brains. It's a great way to reset.  I don't work out every day or read my Bible every day. After years of ritualism, instead I need rhythms. 

Often times I say when you prepare for the moment, the moment is prepared for you. Life has a way of revealing what is inside us through trials and tribulations. But if you do the deep work, you will be prepared. 

I'm standing outside of one of the most famous places where dreams come true. I often tell people they need to wake up in order to dream. A lot of us are sleep walking through life. They're stuck in a system and are lulled to sleep.  People are going to try to squash you and your dreams but we all have a dream planted inside of us. It's time to wake up and dream.

I'm at the Igniting Souls Conference, and I asked the crowd to speak words of life to one another. I see people in tears because it's been so long since they've heard these things. There are two times when people speak words of life to other people: when they're dead or when they're retiring. But you can't do much with those words at those times. I challenge you to speak words of life to someone e...

I am here with my friend Helen, an award-winning author of the book The Red Road Home. She's from Israel. Hear her experience speaking at the Igniting Souls Conference. The magic of this conference is the people.  You need to speak to your audience and don't worry about those who don't get you. If you do that, you'll the people right in front of you.

We are getting ready to start our work out before the Igniting Souls Conference. Why? Because we can all grow through pain. Don't be afraid of pain.

The Igniting Souls Conference is going on right now, and I'm in my hotel room. I'm prepping for this afternoon. That's how much I trust the team. It's easy to think that everything rises and falls on you. If it does, you don't know how to grow your team very well and you're not going to be able to make an impact.

Your conference will never outperform you team. You need to get your team together early to go over everything so there are no surprises.
