March 28, 2019 14:00 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MBYes, in this episode I totally use an 8 mile reference to make a point.

40 - Is there Such thing as a "Bad" Habit?
February 28, 2019 15:00 - 17 minutes - 13.9 MBThis is one of those topics that has come up a LOT lately in my life. Partially because we're talking all about habits in the Academy this month but also because it was one of the focuses of last week's NLP life coach training. The notion that everything we do has a positive intention behind it. I'm not going to lie, I resisted this idea A LOT. How can smoking have a positive intention? How can war have a positive intention? There are so many things in our lives that are seemingly SO NEGATIV...

February 07, 2019 15:00 - 17 minutes - 13.7 MBTuesday's interview with Brooke really got me think - thinking about all the moments in my life and along my journey where I didn't think my story was worth telling. That somehow it was lesser because it didn't quite compare in my brain to some of the other rags to riches stories of the top entrepreneurs, thought leaders, coaches and speakers of our time.
