Lifestyle Over Business with Michael Zipursky

Does your business determine your lifestyle, or is it the other way around? My guest on today’s episode, Michael Zipursky, has learned from his decades in business that if you put your business goals at the top of the pyramid, everything will be in service to that, which he asserts (and I wholeheartedly agree) is the wrong way to live. Michael is the CEO of Consulting Success. He has helped over 450 consultants from around the world in over 75 industries add 6 and 7 figures to their annual revenues. 

In today’s episode, in addition to discussing his business success, we delve into the philosophical and wellness aspects of living a well-balanced life. We talk about the events that shaped Michael’s early years and how a trip to Vietnam at age 16 with his cousin became an awakening that opened the two of them up to the possibilities of working together to blaze a unique path where they could both accomplish great things and feel engaged in the world around them. He has a way of distilling information in a direct and intuitive style, so for an enlightening, multi-dimensional look at finding success and happiness, stay tuned!

Unconventional Wisdom, Uncommon Success with John Lee Dumas

You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, according to my guest on today’s show, John Lee Dumas. Inspired by the idea of spending time with high achievers who he admired, John, an army veteran who had struggled with depression and PTSD, decided to embark on an entrepreneurial path to change his life and the lives of all his listeners. On his podcast, Entrepreneurs on Fire, John has interviewed over 3,000 incredible entrepreneurs, including Tony Robbins, Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk, Barbara Corcoran, Tim Ferriss, and many more, me included.

In today’s episode, we talk about John’s incredible journey and how he aspired to (and pulled off) creating a daily podcast that took off and became wildly successful. We discuss how John was able to distill the wisdom of his podcast guests and boil down common core, foundational principles that all entrepreneurs share, which became his new book “The Common Path to Uncommon Success,” a book that teaches financial freedom and fulfillment. John has always felt that in learning, you teach, and in teaching, you learn, so without any further ado, get ready for an episode that packs a lot of inspiration and heart!

Business Coaching from the Beyond with Erik Luhrs

If your work isn’t for everyone, you’re probably doing something right, especially when that work uses channeling abilities in your business coaching. Which is, of course, why I think the work that Erik Luhrs is doing is so phenomenal. Erik is known as the Bruce Lee of revenue generation and is the creator of Revenue Kung-Fu. He works with entrepreneurs, experts, leaders, and founders who are driven by a purpose, mission, or vision that far exceeds their current level of “success” and helps them to move beyond whatever holds them back, so they can rapidly grow their business and achieve their desired outcomes. 

I’m pretty blown away by this practice because I agree with Erik that nobody goes out there saying, “I want to tap into my beingness to get rich.” They go out there asking, “How do I get people to click on my email? How do I get more people to click on my post on Facebook?” Erik’s approach is to make his clients see that your business is just a vehicle for self-development throughout your life. Let’s get on with a very intriguing episode right here and dive down below the superficial to where incredible breakthroughs happen. 

The Keys to Spiritual Growth with Yeliz Ruzgar

The most important question you will ask yourself in life is, “What is my purpose?” Even asking it will start shifting your biology, your DNA. You’ll start looking at everything around you with a heightened awareness and eventually you’ll start noticing the signs, coincidences—it’s an incredible thing. My guest on today’s show, Yeliz Ruzgar, is a motivational and spiritual trainer, holistic life consultant, inspiring speaker, energy therapist, and author of a new book called Mana. Yeliz speaks from her heart, and her energetic stage presence can be felt beyond just words. 

In today’s episode, Yeliz discusses being mindful of our thoughts because thoughts become words, and then words become actions, and actions become a habit. What’s happening in our life is part of evolution, whether it’s war or a pandemic–anything with a massive ripple effect is a sign from the universe for us to wake up. We talk about what it is to be a human being in a digital world and slowing down to awaken to our life purpose because we are human beings, not human doings. So, without any further ado, on with a powerful show! 

Live Life Undaunted with Kara Goldin

It doesn’t matter whether you feel confident; it matters what you actually do. Author Kara Goldin turned her unsweetened flavored water into Hint—one of the most successful beverage businesses of our time and has been named one of InStyle’s Badass 50 and EY Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California. Her secret sauce is be Undaunted, which is the title of her bestselling book.

In today’s episode, I asked Kara about her book, which tackles dealing with your fears and moving forward despite uncertainty. We talk about Kara’s undaunted path and how she learned to turn criticism into motivation.

Her tenacity shines through, and she talks about how, when she was told no, that simply pushed her to dig deeper to find the answers. Rather than seeing limits, she saw possibilities, like working collaboratively until she found an alternative to preservatives, that she was dead set against using. She learned firsthand that answers can, and do, come from anywhere if you’re receptive.

Kara speaks about learning all aspects of the business so that nothing blindsided her, and problem-solving became second nature. For an incredible success story of breaking down doors and breaking glass ceilings, stay tuned for an inspiring and powerful episode!

How to Be an Everyday Hero with Jeffrey Hayzlett

My guest on the show today has an expression when it comes to having an impact on an audience: it’s not about reaching eyeballs and ears, it’s about hearts and minds. He definitely has a lot of experience in how you can be credible and relevant for the audience you want to reach.

Jeffrey Hayzlett is a big personality who likes to live large, dating from his days as a celebrity judge on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. His scientific hypothesis on fighting off viruses is that bacon and scotch pretty much kill everything.

Jeffrey is a global business celebrity, Hall of Fame speaker, Chairman and CEO of C-Suite Network, home of the world’s most trusted network of C-Suite leaders and best-selling author. Oh, and did I mention he was also the CMO of Kodak?

In today’s episode, we talk about Jeffrey’s three R’s: Are we relevant to each other? Can we help each other with reach? And then what’s the reciprocity? And how we can incorporate the three R’s in our pivot strategy for 2021. We talked about Jeffrey’s latest book, The Hero Factor, having a business based on values and a team who believes in those values. So, without any further ado, please stay tuned for a fun and illuminating episode!

Harness the Power of Gratitude with Chester Elton

There’s been a lot of focus in the media about how the pandemic has strained relationships with people suddenly on lockdown together at home, but my guest on today’s episode, Chester Elton, brings a different perspective about how this is also a chance for us to be grateful for each other and to work on our relationships. Chester has been called the “apostle of appreciation” by Canada’s Globe and Mail. He is co-author of multiple award-winning New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling books, All In, The Carrot Principle, and Leading with Gratitude.

In this episode, we talked about ways to be supportive of each other and how we can be present for ourselves and the people we care about. I love the imagery of the Adirondack chair that Chester sits on–in the actual Adirondacks–and how he gets in touch with his senses, taking in all that he can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch in those small moments that ground him in peace and gratitude. My interview with him was like a breath of fresh air, offering rituals and strategies for us to decompress in mindful, rather than mindless ways. So without any further ado, here is the man in orange, Chester Elton!

The Art of Making S*** Happen with Steve Sims

We all feel like we don’t fit in, until we realize, we were not meant to. My guest on today’s show, Steve Sims, is a creative disruptor who fashioned a unique career for himself. His secret is that you have to ask for what you dream of, not simply what you think you can get. This is coming from a guy who was a bricklayer with no high school degree who decided to make something of his life. His first step on that journey was surrounding himself with interesting people.

Despite his biker looks and no-hold-barred demeanor, what you see is what you get with Steve, and that is a refreshingly open, engaging, generous, intuitive and competent guy. He’s leveraged all of this to build a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career as a concierge to a handful of wealthy clients. When he describes what he does, he would tell you it’s solving, rather than selling.

You probably don’t know anyone who has sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta – well, you do now. Without any further ado, on with the show!

How to Manifest Anything You Want with Yuval Abramovitz

At the age of 16, my guest today, Yuval Abramovitz found himself paralyzed, bound to a wheelchair. Ignoring his medical condition, every time he had an idea of something he wanted to accomplish, he wrote it down in an old notebook and focused on dreaming. The result of that list was a physical recovery and a chance to inspire an incredible number of people to speak out loud their dreams, write their dreams down, and achieve those dreams. 

Yuval is a prolific author, reporter, and media personality. During this interview, I was reminded of that iconic Field of Dreams Quote: “If you build it, they will come.” Yuval has inspired millions with his TED Talks and books and is living proof that putting things out there in the universe that you want to manifest actually works. 

In today’s episode, we talk about some of his creative and unorthodox methods of writing and sharing work with his readers before he publishes. We talk about the power he was able to leverage as an early adopter of Facebook, and why a tribe of ten is better than thousands of followers. It’s hard not to be affected by Yuval’s positivity and life-affirming energy, so without any further ado, on with the show!
