Podcast: EP 46 The Power of Purpose with Kevin Hall

I’m sharing one of my mentors with you.

 

Back when I was a brand new entrepreneur, I got to be coached by this man, and he had a huge impact on me. I’m so happy to share his wisdom with you today on the podcast.

Kevin Hall is a highly sought-after business consultant, speaker, and coach. He was a partner in Franklin Quest, makers of the Franklin Day planner. As vice president of Sales and training, he helped fuel Franklin’s worldwide growth. He has been recognized for his groundbreaking approach to uncovering the hidden, and often secret, meanings of words. Kevin is also credited with wordsmithing, and trademarking, the original slogan for the 2002 olympic Winter Games, “Ignite the Fire Within.” He has been featured in Forbes magazine, Worth magazine, Nation’s Restaurant News, Restaurant Business, and on the Food network.

 

In this conversation we talk about the power of your intention, your purpose, your words, and the meaning behind what you do. This is a powerful reminder that you can create whatever you most want, if you follow the path of purpose.

 

“Act as if it’s impossible to fail and the way will reveal itself.”

Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

Let’s talk about the power of gratitude.

 

Every year at this time, I host a gratitude series where I have calls with a few incredible people who share what the power of gratitude is to them. Each year, it’s an amazing experience, and this year has been no different. I had to share this call with you on the podcast because it touched my heart so much, and it featured a recent guest on the show, who I love dearly.

When Richard Paul Evans wrote the #1 global best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author. Three years later, this quiet, simple story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation.

Since then, more than 8 million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. Seven of Evans’s books were produced into television movies and have starred such well-known actors as Maureen O’Hara, Rob Lowe, Christopher Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Naomi Watts and Academy award winners Vanessa Redgrave and Ellen Burstyn. He has since written more than 35 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists.  There are currently more than 30 million copies of his books in print.

During the fall of 1998, Evans founded The Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency shelters and providing services and resources for abused, neglected or homeless children, teens and young adults. To date, more than 85,000 children have been served by the Christmas Box House facilities and programs.

 

 
In this conversation we talk about what Richard has learned in his life about the power of gratitude, how it has transformed his perspective, his business, his relationships, and his marriage. This is one of the best conversations that I’ve recorded, and I’m so happy to share it with you.

 

“To live in gratitude is to live in power..”

This is a story worth hearing.

 

You’ve likely heard of Richard’s bestselling book, The Christmas Box. But the story behind how it came to be, how Richard became the incredibly successful author that he is, and how he has followed his purpose is incredible.

Podcast: EP 39 Personality Isn’t Permanent with Dr. Ben Hardy

Podcast: EP 39 Personality Isn’t Permanent with Dr. Ben Hardy

Have you ever wondered if you can’t change?

 

I am bringing back one of my earliest podcast guests for a second episode because he just wrote a new book and it is so good. If you remember Episode 4 about willpower, you’ll know that Benjamin Hardy is someone worth listening to.

Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn’t Work and Personality Isn’t Permanent.

His blogs have been read by over 100 million people and are featured on Harvard Business ReviewNew York Times, Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, and many others. He is a regular contributor to Inc. and Psychology Today and from 2015-2018, he was the #1 writer in the world on Medium.com.

 
 
 
He and his wife Lauren adopted three children through the foster system in February 2018 and, one month later, Lauren became pregnant with twins, who were born in December of 2018. They live in Orlando.
 
 
In this conversation we dive deep into the myths versus truths about how much our personality impacts who we are and what we do. Ben teaches us wisdom about how to make powerful choices about our future self, how to become who we want to be, and how to view our personality as an asset instead of a limitation.

 

“A person’s view of their own future is the strongest indicator of who they are.”
