Brightening Your Life with JC Cummings
JC Cummings is a leader in Human Resources and has made an impact on many large (and recognizable) organizations. But the impact she is making in bringing light to dark places in people’s lives is even greater.
JC was very transparent in sharing her upbringing in a home riddled with addiction and dysfunction, how she stood up to a powerful leader when he crossed the line with her, and how she is actively working to heal from her past and grow into her future.
This was a fantastic, authentic, conversation and one that I know many people will benefit from.
A few things that JC also mentioned:

Sharing Yourself with Ryan James Miller
Would you be surprised to hear me say that Punky Brewster inspired this episode? Ok, Soleil Moon Frye did. But if you know, you know.
Her recent documentary, along with the quote below, inspired me to record this episode on some of the benefits and blessings of living an authentic life for the rest of the world to see.
“When you share yourself with the world, you realize that you’re not alone.”
Would love to hear from you!

What’s Your Business Purpose
“If I just impact one person, I will be happy.”
I heard a successful entrepreneur say that recently and I didn’t really believe him. Not because I think he isn’t genuine about helping people, but because I believe most people want more in business than to simply impact one person.
So, on this week’s new Tuesday solo podcast, I dig into our purpose in business.
Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts.

Helping people to produce the best outcomes in their business
My vlog (video blog) – sharing everyday situations that occur, a way to show authenticity
How COVID19 crushed my business, costing me $20K a month in contracts

Exceptional Organizations Start at the Top with Jamie Hawkins
Jamie Hawkins is the Founder and CEO of BTR – Benefit Technology Resources, a firm delivering value to its clients through innovative solutions and product partnerships that set the standard of excellence for HR technology.
While I have been fortunate to serve Jamie’s team in a few capacities over the years, I am far more proud to call her a friend. I respect and admire her passion, wisdom, kindness, and ability to lead such a successful organization. When I was reaching out to find the best CEOs in business to have on the podcast, she was absolutely at the top of my list.
During the course of this conversation, we cover so many topics including the importance of having great people around you, the many ways to create long-lasting client relationships, why business leaders must make sacrifices, and Jamie’s crazy passion for fishing.
I cannot recommend this episode enough for all of it’s valuable content. But more importantly, you need to connect with Jamie and her entire team at BTR if you haven’t already.

Reclaiming Your Wonder with Harris III
Harris III is a world-renowned speaker, storyteller and entrepreneur. He is the creator of Transformation Theory and author of the bestselling book, The Wonder Switch.
Harris impacted my life personally back in 2017 when in the midst of a magic show that he was performing for a business conference I attended, he told a story of wonder and imagination that stuck with me to this day. At that point, I began following him on social media and learned last year he was releasing a book, The Wonder Switch.
As I read The Wonder Switch, I further believed in the need to learn from more life growing up and understand not only how my life’s story got me to where I am, but how my life’s story can be used to impact others.
In this podcast episode, Harris and I discuss the misuse of our imaginations as adults, the difference between child-like and childish, the lies we tell ourselves that damage our wonder (and ability to tell our story), his definition of wonder and how to explore it, and so much more. He even blew my mind at the very end with a concept called “liminal space”. I may be new to the party, but it’s definitely a term with digging into (especially in our current times).
Thanks for listening and make sure to connect with Harris III and learn more about The Wonder Switch as well as all of the other amazing stuff he is doing.
