It's All About the Questions

Fear paralyzes. Mastering your fear can transform your life. But how do you even recognize your fear so that you can begin to master it? What if the fear shows up in a critical moment when you did not even know it was a situation you feared? My guest today, Brandon Webb, has written a powerful new book with his co-author, John David Mann, on how to master any fear. A former Navy Seal Sniper and CE...

Holocaust deniers are out there but the facts remain, it did happen. 13 million people were killed and tortured by the Nazis because of their faith or background. 6 million of them were Jewish.

He escaped at 11 and at 17 enlisted and served in the U.S. Navy in Okinawa in the...

How does a woman from the BBQ loving state of Texas make the move to not only becoming a vegan and avid juicer but also to switch careers and follow her calling to show others how they can improve their health one mouthful of nutritious foods at a time and convert her husband and son? That is definitely a story I wanted to hear, so I asked Stephanie Leach to be on my show. I know from personal exp...

What happens when a calling leads you down paths you never expected including writing a book with Wayne Dyer, after he has died, and a multitude of other greater minds and beings from above? Well one thing that happens is a great episode of a radio show and a really profound book. I was introduced to Karen Noe by a former guest and dear friend Jackie Lapin. I was intrigued to interview an medium....

Don't just survive, thrive. Disasters happen and happen and happen lately. Some major to large portions of the world, like all the shootings and natural disasters and some major just to you, like a death of a loved one, health or monetary crisis. Or some that may seem minor on the surface but your entire being reacts in a major way. How do you handle them and how do you bounceback from them? I had...

I had the pleasure of being introduced...

This is not the usual guest I have on the show. I don't do celebrity interviews but when this guest's agent reached out to me I knew I had to interview him. Why? Because I had such a huge crush on him when I was a much younger girl! My guest is Michael Cole from the TV series The Mod Squad. As his book title says, "I Played The White Guy". ANd what a book it is. WHen I read the book to prepare for...

Creating a company that can be successfully taken global while simultaneously creating a community of raving fans and clients and anticipating where the market needs will be is not an every day occurrence.

I have been fortunate in my life to have had many mentors. They seem to come into my life at just the right time but that doesn't always seem to happen for everyone I meet. Which is actually the reason why I started my radio show. I like to think of this show as a mentor to all my listeners. Everyone needs to have access to someone with different perspectives who can mentor them on a journey of di...

What are the keys to staying balanced under pressure? I don't just mean during. I am asking what are they even after, waaay after, when everyone else seems to be moving past a trauma and the focus is off? I never used to think that stress was a thing. It was all just good stress. Then my body and brain started to take a little longer to come to center and then, one day, it seemed I was living a ne...

How do you define influence? For many it is being able to convince people to do things even if it is not in their best interest. But what if influence is less about compromise or getting people to do what you want, and more about creating a space where everyone "wins"? My guest on this episode is John David Mann. My regular listeners will recognize his name as I have had him on the show multiple t...

"There Is a Major Problem in The World Today:  It's Not People Disagreeing with One Another…  It's That They Cannot Disagree Agreeably, Civilly,  And, Most Importantly, Persuasively!" And according to Bob Burg, that simply need not be the case. Bob says, "You can get the results you want while making the other person feel genuinely good: about themselves, about the situation, and about you!" My gu...

Legal help can be expensive yet it can be critical to your business and life success. We all are familiar with attorneys yet few are aware of another level of legal expertise known as a paralegal.

And how much will it c...

Have you ever thought that you really could have it all in your business and your personal life?  There is much talk about balance between our business and personal lives but how many people do you know that really are able to achieve it? I know I struggle with it. My gue...

They say you should write what you know. Sometimes that creates a boring book but in the hands of a master like Brad Parks it creates a book that you want to devour in one sitting. Or in my case one flight to Omaha with a layover in Atlanta. In his latest book Brad departs from his male protagonists and writes from the perspective of a woman protagonist. I loved what he had to say about how he put...

The response to Father Mike's first appearance on my show last week was so huge, with so many questions people wanted to ask him, that when a guest had to reschedule I invited him back on. On Part 2, we delve further into the types of callings, whether a calling is for life and what he meant by his pet peeve of people saying, "I am spiritual, not religious." I loved his question he posed, "How wil...

Callings are not just to the religious life. Callings are something we all have. They call us to be something bigger than ourselves, to make a difference in the world through gifts we each uniquely have. In the case of my guest on this episode, his calling was to be a Roman Catholic priest. The route he took to get there could have ended with him living a secular life and still being of service ye...
