Podcast: EP 6 When Dreams Change Course with Chad Hymas

Podcast: EP 6 When Dreams Change Course with Chad Hymas

What happens when your life goes drastically different than you planned?

I am bringing you a very special episode today – a conversation with my dear friend, more like a brother, Chad Hymas.

In 2001, at the age of 27, Chad’s life changed in an instant when a 2,000 pound bale of hay shattered his neck, leaving him a quadriplegic. But Chad’s dreams were not paralyzed that day – he became an example of what is possible.

Chad inspires, motivates, and moves audiences, creating an experience that touches hearts for a lifetime. He is one of the youngest ever to receive the Council of Peers Award for Excellence and to be inducted into the prestigious National Speaker Hall of Fame.

Chad is an incredible perspective check for anyone who is struggling with challenges, has had a devastating loss, or is wondering if their dreams are even possible. I am so grateful for his generous words and heart, and I know you’ll be uplifted through whatever you’re going through after listening to him.

There is more than one way to accomplish a dream.

Podcast: EP 5 When You Want to Feel Good … The Power of Gratitude

Podcast: EP 5 When You Want to Feel Good … The Power of Gratitude

This is one of my favorite daily practices.

 

I have a lot of daily habits that have served me and my business through the years. But one of my very favorite ones is gratitude. I feel so good when I am in a practice of gratitude – for small and big things, day in and day out.

I recorded a solo episode on the podcast to share some of the specifics of how I practice gratitude daily and why it’s so powerful. If you’re resonating with this topic, I invite you to join me in November for my annual Gratitude and Generosity Series. It’s one of my favorite things I do all year!

Think of service as an expression of gratitude.

Podcast: EP 4 Willpower Doesn’t Work with Benjamin Hardy

Podcast: EP 4 Willpower Doesn’t Work with Benjamin Hardy

Willpower doesn’t work (at least not how you think it does.)

 

I love hearing my friend Benjamin speak about habits, goals, and psychology. He is one of the most-researched, best writers on these topics, and every time we talk, I learn something new.

Benjamin is an organizational psychologist and bestselling author of Willpower Doesn’t Work.

His work is viewed by millions of people monthly and featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, Cheddar, Big Think, and many others. He is a regular contributor at Inc. andPsychology Today

From 2015 to 2019, his email list grew to nearly 400,000 people (without paid advertising) by blogging on Medium.com.

In this conversation, Benjamin explains why willpower isn’t the most effective way to change habits, what works instead, and how our personalities aren’t permanent. Get ready to take notes because I sure did!

When you change your context, you change yourself.

Podcast: EP 3 You Can Only Control How You Show Up

I’ve been excited to share this idea with you.

 

One of the reasons I’ve been feeling called to start a podcast is so that I can share some of my favorite success strategies with more people in an easy-to-access format. Today’s solo episode is on a topic that I love teaching about.

If you’re in sales, network marketing, or you run your own business, you know that there are plenty of things out of your control when it comes to your success.

But there is one thing that IS in your control, and this episode is all about how you can make magic by focusing on what you can control.

You are the architect of your life.

He is the founder of the billion-dollar Chicken Soup for the Soul™ publishing empire, a multiple time NYT bestselling author, a founder of the Transformational Leadership Council, and so much more.
