     What will business look like in the future?  What about trips into the office vs. working remotely?  What does that mean for collaboration?  For hiring?     This week's #truthseekers guest Brian Rivers has been a CEO for 16 years.  We thought it'd be prudent to navigate some of these questions with Brian who currently runs a com...

     Imagine having a company culture where everyone has bought in.  Employees are committed.  Goals are clear.  Communication is great.  And people have fun.     This week's #truthseekers guest, Jason Tierney , has an approach that just might be the secret sauce to foster this environment... and his company Forced Air Mechanical, ap...

     Where does creativity come from?  Are the ideas that pop into your head your ideas?  If you were creative once, surely you could be intentional about being creative again, right?     We had some fun with this week's conversation as Chip Venters joins #truthseekers to talk about his insatiable reading habits, and a concept encapsulated in...

     Neurologists have found that the physiological lifespan of an emotion in the body is 90 seconds .  Wait, what?!     That's crazy to think about!  But it's true - we can be the observer of our emotions.  This has huge upside potential if you can remain aware of this fact in the moment you experience negative emotions.   &nbs...

Just because we aren't conscious of them all doesn't mean we don't make hundreds, if not thousands, of decisions every single day.     We are all creators of our lives - our actions shape our future.  In its most simplistic form, some of our daily actions include the clothes we choose to wear; the hygiene routines we choose to engage in; the people we choose to surround ou...

"The quality of your life is the quality of your communication" ~ Tony Robbins We live in a material 3-dimensional world, yet our communication is quite often flat and 1-dimensional.  It's been said that 55% of our communication is our body language, 38% is our tonality, and just 7% is our words.  7%! If most of the communication we engage in throughout our day is text message and email,...

People first.   Always . I once had a sales job where the leadership only cared about my production.  What results did I get for the company?  What actions was I taking to produce those results?  How could I drive more business?  I was pushed, and ended up doing very well converting many new clients and earning a great commission and income. The questions above were necess...

I used to think that living in a state of bliss was dependent upon me solving all my problems.  "If I could only get rid of this problem, I'll be happy." But by the time I would solve one of my problems, 10 more would show up.  As I kept going in this merry-go-round of problem->solution->problem->solution->problem->solution, I had a big a-ha moment:  my problems were...

I read somewhere recently that success is who you are , not what you do. Many episodes of #truthseekers focus on states of mind.  When we feel good, we do better.  We show up stronger.  We play above the rim, so to speak.  We are constantly seeking to feel good in our lives.  And when we slow down to acknowledge our accomplishments, it perpetuates even more of it. This is...

"If you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated" ~ Coach Nick Our body doesn't lie.  When we neglect certain things in our life, our body is forced to give us signals to tell us so. If we over-exert ourselves, our body tells us we are sick . If we don't drink enough water , our body tells us we are thirsty . If we don't get enough sleep , our body tells us we are tired . Don't "yea yea Coach...

"The wound is the place through which the light enters" ~ Rumi Resist nothing.  Accept everything.  It will all be revealed, in due time. The concept that there is a grand purpose - a greater "thing" at work - makes more sense to me the more life I live.   An uncomfortable situation, a frustrating experience, an emotional interaction - they are always fleeting... temporary. &nb...

Stress on your muscles makes them bigger.  That's why you work out.   So why do we resist stress emotionally?  Isn't that our opportunity to strengthen our resolve?   In this week's Coach's Corner, Coach Nick and I discuss the difference between the "automatic" way we assign meaning to the events that occur to us vs. the act of being "intentional" about the meaning we assi...

Life is a funny thing.  A collection of stressors and celebrations.  I have learned to appreciate them all - in their own little ways.  Appreciating everything not only makes it a little easier to manage the times that used to send me into a downward spiral, but it allows me to appreciate the peaceful times even more deeply.   It is often darkest before the dawn.  When we...

When I say "marketing" , where does your mind go? What are you picturing? Where is the value? Of course, your mind could go in hundreds of directions. This week's #truthseekers guest, Nancee Johnson , stops by our podcast to share some thoughts on the matter. The recipient of a number of awards during her 15-year tenure at Microsoft, Nancee decided to scratch her entrepreneurial itch in pursuit of...

This week's #truthseekers episode is a bit of a freestyle conversation on wanting more, rigging the game to win, and recognizing that the success we currently enjoy (or don't enjoy) is due to our own self-fulfilling prophecy. At a time when the world is most chaotic...
