Podcast: EP 37 The Promise with Jason Hewlett

by | Sep 8, 2020 | Challenge, Goals, Podcast

Let’s talk about promises to ourselves.

 

I have a treat for you today. One of the best, most entertaining speakers and friends I know is on the show. He has a new book out that I loved hearing about.

 Jason is the author of the Facebook post entitled, “I Saw My Wife at Target Today”, which has been seen by more than 100 million people. A recent, and one of the youngest inductees in the prestigious Speaker Hall of Fame, his talks inspire leadership from the perspective of a Promise, while giving attendees an engaging, entertaining, and educational experience all in one. His new book is The Promise to the One.

In this conversation, Jason shares the story of how he became a headlining Vegas performer, and then left that career to keep the most important promises to himself. I can’t wait for you to hear his perspective on what it means to keep promises and find harmony through integrity.

“Our harmony is our integrity.”

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

by | Jun 24, 2020 | Challenge, Podcast, Self Care

I’m sharing one of my dearest friends on the show.

 

Mary is a sister to me, a dear friend, a light, an inspiration, and so much more. We’ve gotten to know each other over the past two years and what a gift that has been. I wanted to share her story on the podcast because I know everyone will relate to her beautiful transformation from fear to love.

Mary Crafts is…quite simply…. a living legend. From humble beginnings and dire circumstances, she invested blood, sweat and countless tears into building what would become the most celebrated catering company in Utah.

That multi-million dollar empire became the launching pad for so much more. Today, Mary has handed the reins of her catering empire to her incredibly gifted children who have taken her company to the next level, while Mary turns her attention to helping others build their dreams.

 

In this conversation, Mary shares her story of a huge wake-up call at 50 years old, her journey of learning to face her fears, lose excess weight, transform her life, and even climb Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 65. Get ready for an amazing story – Mary is the example that anything is possible.

“What would I do today if I wasn’t afraid?”

Podcast: EP 33 Choose Your Legacy with Steve Dennis

by | Jun 16, 2020 | Challenge, Love, Podcast

Get ready to nourish your heart with light.

 

I got to have a powerful, heart-breaking, and nourishing conversation with a dear friend a couple of weeks ago. My heart was in pain over the events happening in our country after the death of George Floyd and I was looking for clarity and answers. Steve shared such beautiful insight with me that I knew it would be a gift if he shared his story and perspectives with my podcast audience.

Internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, speaker, trainer and life coach, Steve Dennis has shared the stage with such personal development masters as John Maxwell and Jack Canfield. Steve is a member of The John Maxwell Team, an elite group of certified coaches and communicators mentored by the #1 leadership expert in the world and New York Times best-selling author, John Maxwell.

Steve trains and motivates with an emphasis on strengthening leaders and helping them to maximize their skills and effectiveness and identify the potential in the individual. He digs deep and identifies the potential in people. He believes that in order to build businesses, you first must build people.  

In this conversation, Steve shares his wisdom about growing up as a black man in America, being bullied for being overweight, and making the choice to transform his pain into light and legacy. I hope that this episode will nourish your heart the same way it did mine.

“I am not what you call me, I am only what I answer to.”
