The Other Fifteen Percent
November 20, 2018 21:38 - 9 minutes - 9.04 MBInclusivity is being embraced today as never before.

The Hamster Wheel of More
November 13, 2018 20:02 - 27 minutes - 25 MBLynn Pelzer has defined her life by being driven. Like, has launched 45 new FemCity Collectives since January kind of driven. Actually, if you search up her profile on Facebook, you will see her life motto: “Dreams do come true, you just have to work for them”. Except this busy, dynamic lady has reached a point in her life where business is good, home is good, life is good. So why does that make her feel so bad?

The Man Behind the Podcast
October 29, 2018 21:53 - 34 minutes - 31.2 MBDo you have Kleenex handy? You are going to laugh until you cry today! Step outside of the podcast box and avoid the formals on your way to the top. Larry Roberts’ approach to podcast success means doing the basics but it doesn’t mean that you can’t #hateonApple in the process. Larry sees people wrapped up in the numbers in podcasting, just like they are in business, and that creates an innate unfairness to yourself, your process and your goals. Today, Larry not only tears down the box you te...
Let's Talk About It
October 23, 2018 04:59 - 24 minutes - 22 MBToday, let’s honour Jane Tabachnick as she shares her current struggle in business with us. Jane helps “savvy entrepreneurs and enlightened professionals package their message into a book that helps them achieve their goals”. Sounds pretty cool, right?

September 04, 2018 11:30 - 8 minutes - 9.06 MBFall Fair season kicks off with Dana putting you at the controls of the biggest ride ever to hit the county fair: ‘Your Business’. But some of the people in line haven’t grown enough to get on the ride, many of them have WAY too much baggage or are straight up terrified by ‘Your Business’.

Let Me Tell You A Story
August 29, 2018 04:13 - 30 minutes - 26.7 MBToday Dana lets us in on a big secret: Big Brands are spending billions redirecting their ad campaigns into storytelling marketing. Why? Because our brains are actually hard-wired with the need to tell and hear stories. Which is good, because storytelling marketing cuts through the noisy, sophisticated, jaded markets we deal with today. So, let me tell you a story: Once upon a time there was a marketing genius named Kylie Slavik. But, wait, she didn’t start out as a marketing genius, of cour...

Power Hungry
August 07, 2018 01:37 - 9 minutes - 11.2 MBIf you are drawn to Dana and all her Inner Dominatrix Awesomeness, does it mean that you hunger for power in your own life? As you steer the ship of your business do you take the helm as a control freak or can you do the number one thing people miss seeing when they look at the dungeon lifestyle: Powerfully Submit. That’s right. Forasmuch as it appears on the surface that the Dominatrix is in control, the true power lies with the Submissive. So if you are hungry for the kind of power that su...
Communication & the Internet
July 31, 2018 04:36 - 46 minutes - 43.7 MBBringing the awesome, the realness, and the authenticity this week is Davide Di Giorgio! Davide is 30‑days into a squat challenge and used a time lapse video to show the changes on his social media channels. This led to a random, but appreciated, offer by a friend for a free consultation to assess the physical mechanics of the squats. Davide’s point is that you need to make a connection with people before you reach out with an offer. Dana admitted to being guilty of that same behaviour in the...
The Big "D"
July 17, 2018 10:57 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBHere's some fun facts: did you know a new divorce is filed every 13 seconds worldwide?

Your Business BFF
June 25, 2018 23:52 - 34 minutes - 33.7 MBWe have been conditioned for generations to believe that work, or your business has to feel "hard" and that "passions" are for playtime.

Simply Is Best, Even In Business
June 19, 2018 03:32 - 27 minutes - 23.1 MBWe all want to have a million dollar business. It's the universal 'pie in the sky' entrepreneurs strive for. Dana's guest Milana Leshinsky found out after the fact that she had hit seven figures. She thought that she would feel a deep sense of pride when hitting the million dollar mark. In reality, she was so busy and tired and overwhelmed that she had no real connection to the achievement and just wanted to go sit on a beach instead. So, she sold her business, took an uncomfortable sabbatica...

Lessons From The Dungeon
May 08, 2018 02:34 - 15 minutes - 17 MBIt’s time to strip down and get comfortable with your particular wants in the Dungeon. Why? Because it can actually improve your business. Especially for female entrepreneurs – most women in the business and corporate world do not lean into and embrace their inner power. They try to copycat the Masculine energy and end up tired. Working in the Dungeon with a submissive means not giving them what they want. It’s counter-intuitive; you should give them what they want because that’s what they wa...

We Are Stronger Together
March 31, 2018 21:43 - 26 minutesMystical Mindset Coach and Soul Designer Leah Steele is sick and tired of seeing women caught in a "crab bucket" mentality – pulling each other back into the bucket instead of lifting each other up. There are so few examples of women in business who have empowered, mentored, or even been kind to other women. Instead we have come to accept a culture of mistrust for other women, letting our fears and insecurities jealously guard what we see to be "our piece of the pie". That pie is a funny thin...
Fck It
March 30, 2018 07:24 - 7 minutesClearly, this episode requires an "EXTRA EXPLICIT" rating. Words on their own are benign; it is the judgements and meanings that we attach to them that give them their power and impact. So what happens when we use a taboo word to shake things up, call attention to something or just as a release? What happens when we let go of the judgements we have created behind these taboo words and use them purposefully to create change? You may be $%#@&!* surprised at the result. Hosted on Acast. S...

She explains how social media can be an excellent barometer, revealing to us whether we are being our most engaged, out there, awesome selves, or whether we are being less authentic and holding ourselves back.

No One Gets Out Alive

January 26, 2018 18:42 - 41 minutesDana is back with a follow-up to Facebook live videos, her own and one by Ryan Thomas, where they discussed the backlash from the #MeToo campaign and how it is affecting men in general and how women are showing up.

The Science of Why Your Energy Affects Others
January 10, 2018 02:22 - 11 minutesToday, Dana is exploring some of the science behind energy. Dana is fascinated by how we are interconnected and able to affect others just by our very act of being. World events got you down? Worried about wars? Put it aside; stop carrying that negativity and hurt around with you everywhere – it spreads. Dana knows – the convenient explanation is that if we don’t get angry and loud, nothing will change. But what if we changed us and not tried to change events from the past or future ev...

Why Do Some People Trigger?

Looking at just strategy would be fairly straight-forward in this case: speak with the supplier and put them in the client’s shoes and vice versa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more i...
