Stay Grounded with Raj Jana

“These conversations that we’re scared of shift reality. They create a new reality.”As a kid, David Wood didn’t have the courage to speak up to the bullies or to ask out the girls he liked. He didn’t have the skills necessary to have those tough conversations - so he didn’t, and he lost out as a result. But all that changed back in 1996 when David attended Landmark Forum. At this event, David grabbed the opportunity to ‘clear up his past’. He made a list of people he needed to speak with [including his childhood bully] and called them. This experience showed David that tough conversations can be transformative. In the process of sharing his truth, David improved relationships, rewrote memories, and transformed his view of the world. So if you have always feared having uncomfortable but necessary conversations with others, you’re in safe hands! David is a highly sought after coach, who works with high-performing entrepreneurs, executives, teams, and prison inmates to help them create amazing results and deep connection. He’s the author of "Get Paid For Who You Are" [Jack Canfield wrote the foreword]. He was also nominated for the Transformational Leadership Council alongside thought leaders such as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson.David became #1 on Google for ‘life coaching’, to-date, he’s served an audience of 150,000 coaches, and he’s racked up thousands of hours of coaching across 12 countries. So whether you want to talk with your over-demanding boss or say “I love you” for the first time, David’s advice will make it easier. Tune in now. “Naming the fear can make it less scary.” When you speak up artfully during tough conversations, you can open doors and create new possibilities. It’s why David is passionate about empowering people to lean into the discomfort and speak out anyway. Here’s a taste of what we discuss in this episode:Why David waited until his 20s to tell his mom he loved her - and why it was a terrifying momentHow the tough gets smoother the more conversations you haveThe 4-step blueprint for having difficult conversations without causing a trainwreck 3 tests that help you figure out if you need to have a particular conversationThe discussion that could have got David prosecutedAnd more…  It can feel easier to hold your tongue and not say anything. When you fear rejection or embarrassment, saying nothing feels less painful - in the short-term anyway. Don’t let the fear of confrontation hold you back. Instead, listen to David’s episode and get yourself the tools you need to speak out with ease. “I don’t want to feel bad about the fact that I didn’t go for something. So I am willing to lean into my discomfort and to feel terrified to do something because I feel like on the other side I’m going to feel better about myself.” How to contact Email David - podcast@playforreal.lifeCheck out David’s work at https://playforreal.life/‘Like’ David on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/solutionboxFollow the story on Instagram - IG: _playforrealTweet David at - _playforrealWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

His life is driven by service and as a philanthro-Investor, he’s helping to create schools in Kampala, East Africa. “People always say to me: "Darren, you're so lucky". I say: "NO! Luck is preparation meeting opportunity".

It’s impossible to not be pulled along by Darren’s urgency and passion. So if you want to know how to be super successful, he’s the man to show you.

“When you feel like you’re stuck in your own head and you can’t get out of your own way, the best way to change that is to help someone else.” It was January 3rd 2011 when Chris Winfield finally checked into rehab after drinking since the age of 13. His addiction led to an isolated life, which had created a ‘god-sized’ hole that left him wanting more. On the outside, everything looked good. The company he co-founded employed over 100 people and grew to a bunch of offices, but he wasn’t happy. Then a piece of pizza changed his life. During a phone call where he was trying to save his imploding company, his 3 ½-year-old daughter appeared looking for breakfast. Chris wasn’t available. The sight of his daughter stretching up to the microwave to reheat her own pizza changed him in a heartbeat. If he couldn’t be available for the most important person in his life, something was drastically wrong. He had to do different. The pizza moment kick-started a daily habit that’s fueled and shaped Chris’s life ever since - and it’s all focused around helping. And with the law of reciprocity stirred into motion, Chris’ life transformed. “Whatever you put out is going to come back to you in some form.” Nowadays, Chris’s life is all about helping other people.

“Passion is just one thread in an intricate weaving of what’s ultimately going to satisfy you.” It was 2008 when Kelly Ernst entered the corporate world. At the heart of the crash, Kelly felt lucky to find a job. But after working for JP Morgan as an engineer on Wall Street, she soon burnt out. Life felt more purposeful in Austin where Kelly joined a software business committed to helping kids learn. But that didn’t work out long-term either. After the company was bought out, Keely was faced with the choice between a severance package or moving states. She took the package and committed to life as an entrepreneur. This wasn’t as easy as it sounds! Without the safeguards of healthcare and a pension, running a business felt like a big risk. But according to Kelly’s old boss she was ‘unmanageable’ so she had to figure out a way to work. And she did! Kelly used her coding and engineer skills to launch Redemin - an online fashion brand that built JEANome - proprietary AI that helps women shop for the perfect pair of jeans.But her entrepreneurial journey wasn’t always smooth. Kelly struggled with panic attacks that created a lot of shame and anxiety, but thanks to her mindset and resilience, she’s developed strategies to help her come out the other side stronger.“I had been stewing on an idea for a company in the final months before I was laid off, but I hadn’t pulled the trigger because I was stuck in the mindset of job is safe, job is dependable, a job is the only thing that's going to keep my head afloat.” Kelly is a very pragmatic entrepreneur who’s been able to keep a clear segregation between her work and the passions that brought her the most joy. In this episode we explore the role of passion, how to elevate your happiness, and why our work and passion can be two separate things. Check out this episode to discover: The power of the present moment and how to use it to avoid anxietyKelly’s simple hack for breaking out of a panic attackWhy being a corporate employee made her a better employerThe role that your ego plays in creating the life you want to liveWhy money doesn’t buy happiness and why it shouldn’t be a measure of successKelly’s three-part rule for successful comedyFour powerful strategies that will help you uncover desire for lifeIt’s a doozy! “When I learned to be patient with my own struggle with panic, that’s when I started to find the light in the tunnel to resolve it. How to contact Kelly is @kellyflorencee on instagram. We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Everything from my past happened for me. And not only did it happen for me, it happened for me to show others that they can overcome their past as well.” Mark Crandall endured an unbelievably traumatic childhood. He was burnt with cigarettes, handcuffed inside a locked closet, and neglected by his parents. Taken into foster care age 3, life didn’t get any better.

Rob asked Mark a question that literally changed his life in a heartbeat. “What’s it like being a 25-year-old man living the ages of 3-7. What’s it like to play the victim?”This question kick-started an awakening in Mark. He began to question everything n an attempt to strip away the layers and get closer to his heart.
