The power of a good story is life changing.

 

I got connected to today’s guest through a good friend who recommended him so highly, I knew I had to invite him on the podcast. Jude is an incredible storyteller through documentary films and has so much wisdom about entrepreneurship, branding, and telling the story of your work.

Jude Charles is an author, filmmaker, and consultant. He helps entrepreneurs make money by using the power of storytelling. For over 15 years, he’s helped entrepreneurs bring their stories to life through documentary films. He digs deep to find the compelling story that no one else knows and then leverage storytelling to strategically scale their business. He’s been blessed to produce stories for Google, Coldwell Banker, and Steve Harvey (just to name a few). Plus he’s been featured as a speaker on conference stages and on 100+ different podcasts.

In this episode, Jude shares the real talk of becoming and staying an entrepreneur, how to tell powerful stories, and where to find the courage to tell your own.

    Podcast: EP 106 Becoming Iconic with Sarah Foley

    by | May 16, 2023 | Podcast, Success

    Here’s a story that will move you to new heights.

     

    I got emotional when I talked to today’s guest on the podcast — even though I already knew her story. She is an incredible woman and friend and I have loved learning from her in the past year about style, confidence, and choice.

    Sarah Foley is a transformation coach and keynote speaker who goes by Vertical Blonde. After experiencing life literally flipping her upside down from a debilitating ATV accident in 2012, Sarah learned how to experience the richness and beauty of life. She has been featured on major stages and platforms all over the US, including being featured multiple times on the Tony Robbins podcast and being featured in “Your Second Act” by Patricia Heaton. Sarah’s helped thousands of people of all abilities gain confidence, redefine what’s possible and become the icons they are.

    Today Sarah is passionate about guiding and witnessing the shift in others as they embrace their Vertical self.  She loves helping others feel beautiful from the inside out as she shares the tools and perspectives that help them understand that they are capable of experiencing their beautiful, rich and successful lives right now.

    In this episode, Sarah shares the incredible story of her life, her choices, her mission, and what is possible when you decide to become an icon, no matter what life gives you.

    ““We have a way of tapping into who we are based on where we’re going, not who we’ve been practicing being.”

      Podcast: EP 96 Alignment or Hustle? Let’s Talk

      Podcast: EP 96 Alignment or Hustle? Let’s Talk

      by | Mar 6, 2023 | Podcast, Success

      I have an important message for you.

       

      If you’re like me, you’ve seen a lot of coaching going around in the last year that preaches the power of alignment to manifest whatever you want. And I love that message. I believe in the power of alignment, meditation, and manifesting. But there’s somthing going on with this message that is getting twisted. And that’s when it leaves out the part about hustle.

      In this episode, I gives some truth talk about the importance of effort, work, or hustle (whatever you want to call it) in making your dreams come true. It’s based on a natural law and nothing happens outside of natural law. So let’s change the conversation and speak the truth: our dreams come from alignment and hustle working together.

      “You have to have effort. It’s natural law.”

        Podcast: EP 95 Awakening Your Greatness with Darleen Santore

        by | Feb 28, 2023 | Podcast, Success

        I cannot wait for you to hear from my new friend, Coach Dar.

         

        I met her when we were both speaking at an amazing event recently and within minutes I knew we were on the same page. I am so inspired and impressed with her story, her work, and her new book, and I was so happy to bring her on the show so you can hear from her as well.

        As a Board Certified Occupational Therapist, CEO & Founder of Performance Meets Purpose Consulting, author, and keynote speaker, Coach Dar is passionate about helping people break through adversity to achieve greatness. Recently named Senior Fellow of PathNorth—an organization of world leaders and CEOs of Fortune 100 companies—her powerful message continues to reach a global audience.

        An inspirational woman with the drive to give back, Coach Dar was awarded the Most Inspiring Woman of 2017 by the WNBA, recognized in the 2018 VoyagerPhoenix series titled Trailblazers: Rewriting The Narrative, and is a founding member of WISH (Women in Service and Hope) for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix. Coach Dar is also a United States Ambassador for the Global Pay It Forward Day Initiative, driven by the belief that #RaisingTheBar includes acts of kindness that leave every person and every place we encounter better than when we found them.

        In this episode, Coach Dar teaches how to find a vision that will fuel you through a bounceback, key principles to bouncing back, and what your greatness is really about.

        “When we hit adversity, we tend to forget all the things that are good in us.”

        Podcast: EP 91 The 5 Pillars of Health with Brooke Hemingway

        Podcast: EP 91 The 5 Pillars of Health with Brooke Hemingway

        by | Dec 7, 2022 | Podcast, Self Care

        Health is wealth. So let’s talk about it.

         

        Of all the success habits we talk about on the show, the one that sits at the top of my list is health. I invited my friend Brooke on the show to share some of the best tips that she has taught me about taking care of our bodies and our minds. It makes such a huge difference in all areas of life, and I know you’ll feel empowered by her insights on how to do this.

        Here’s Brooke’s story in her own words: “I spent 20+ years in the gym setting teaching classes from MMA style workouts to vinyasa flow.  I received my degree in kinesiology from SDSU in 2002 and pursued my love of movement, working in top gyms in San Diego and LA. During that time I decided to take my studies into medicine, receiving my BSN from Mt St Mary’s in 2005, and going on to become an ICU RN. After 10 years I felt my heart calling me back to WELLNESS. I respect medicine and those who work in it, but in reality it didn’t align with my philosophy on health and how to truly keep one out of the hospital.  I came full circle back into health.  Since 2015 I’ve been building a massive wellness business based off premium quality supplements that address root healing.  Gut health, insulin resistance, and inflammation are at the core of almost all health issues and symptoms that have you feeling tired, overweight, under motivated, and sick.  That’s where I focus by combining a customized supplementation system, simple lifestyle and food modifications, and mindset support.“

        In this episode, Brooke shares the powerful story of transforming her own relationship to her health, as well as her best tips to maintaining the 5 key pillars of health in your own life.

        “Health is wealth.”
