Finding The Stories

In this inspiring conversation, author and corporate coach Debra Boblitt shares how she transformed a career in teaching into decades of leadership success in the corporate world before launching her own consulting business. She opens up about the leap from a steady paycheck to zero income, the moment a mentor called her out for “not being herself,” and the humbling leadership lesson that came fro...

Tony P. Henderson is a man without equal. I have never met someone so easygoing, confident in himself, and yet unabashadley introverted balancing the need for human connection with his love of being alone. He is one of the few people that I hit it off with immediately when we met. Sometimes in life when you focus on your goals you meet someone with similar goals and together you become more powerf...

What can I say about Brian D Bradley that can show my love for him? This man never fails to impress me. You can look up his IMDB for his impressive writing, directing, acting, and producing credits fo sho. But that’s not why I want to talk to him. If you were to meet Brian in real life you would be struck by his warmth, humor, and humility. I met him through his awesome wife (and top-notch human b...

Tyra makes everything better! She is such an embodiment of "it's ok" I have difficulty putting it into words. She never hesitates (if you ask) to point out how you can do what you do better, and her belief in you makes you know you can change the world. As we journey through this story Tyra and I talk about the importance of finding your tribe, the importance of being authentic, and how we should...

There once was a man from Coverville who was widely known as the nicest guy in podcasting. But seriously Brian is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. We have walked through casinos in Vegas with random strangers recognizing him. He always gives a moment of his time to everyone who asks and I find that admirable. As I get to know him better I find out he was originally a wedding DJ, then we tak...

I have a lot of love for Phil Keating. There is so much to discover and the conversations are some of the best I have ever had. In this convo, we get warmed up with our love of and history with music. Through the journey, we talk about growing up, religion, and parenting amongst other things. What I discovered is that we both believe that in order to get along in this life we need to have an open...

On this step of the journey, I talk with Jay Agbaje. Sometimes the universe just puts people in your path and you don't know why. Jay is one of those people. I met him at Atlanta Comic-Con and it was your standard creator connection. Only by giving it time have I seen more of why Jay is on my radar. Jay was born and raised in Nigeria and immigrated to America many years ago. The stories highlight...

Gary V. early on gave the advice "What would you talk about at three in the morning no matter what? That's your passion." That may not be the direct quote but it stuck with me. My greatest passion is connecting with people through their experiences - finding their stories. That is where we find the greatness of humanity and really start to see how we are similar. I chose to reach out to a man who...

I love sitting down and hearing about what makes you tick, discovering what makes you happy. What is so awesome and special about who you are that makes us different and yet unifies us at the same time. This is my journey talking to some of my favorite people to find out what makes them excited, what they love, what they do, but more importantly who they are. I am always searching for the stories...
