Bringing About Change After Failure
In a recent post on Linked, I shared a few of my bigger failures in life and business. And it caused quite a lot of response and engaging conversation (find the LinkedIn post here). One of the comments I received included this question “if you had to provide 5 practical points to consider to bring about change, from your perspective, what would they be?” After considering the question, I decided that this was a great question to answer on the podcast.
Some of the things I address include:
Why we should focus on “becoming”?
The connection between perception and action.
How to self-reflect in order to incite action.
Enjoy this episode and contact me if you have any feedback or questions.

Scrapping the Tough Guy Mentality and Getting Emotional with Randy Brothers
Randy Brothers is a third-generation contractor, entrepreneur, podcast host and business coach. He launched the Roofing Academy in 2018, a consulting firm and virtual training platform, which helps roofing companies propel their business to success. He’s the podcast host of “The Start Build Grow Show” and he also authored Start It, Build It, Grow It: The Contractor’s Guide to Success”, a #1 international best-seller in four business categories in six countries.
Randy and I talk about the lack of professionalism in construction, the need to focus on building a great business, grinding to become successful, and working smart.
But my absolute favorite moment came when we talked about getting rid of the tough-guy mentality too many men have and getting in touch with our emotions. It’s a must-listen moment!

No Approval Needed with Kris Macc
I am super fired up to have my friend Kris Macchiarola back on the podcast. If you remember, Kris was my guest on Episode 9 (Exsellence in Emotional Intelligence) and we had an amazing conversation. It’s my most-listened-to episode to date and if you heard it, you know why.
This time around, we shoot right out of the gate talking about her new book “#NoApprovalNeeded: Women Of The World Talk About Life In Their Forties”. While this book contains stories from women all over the world, it’s a great read for all. We talked about the commitment to writing, why she wrote it, and the beautiful and challenging stories women shared with her. She even sticks me with a couple of very difficult questions women asked of men. I know my answers won’t be popular with everyone (even Kris and I didn’t see eye to eye), but they were honest and from my heart.
Beyond the book, we again dig into:
Emotional intelligence
Overcoming fear, self-doubt, and challenges
Gender equality and the current gaps in society
and so much more
Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

Building a Brand that Builds Itself – Keynote from WBM19
This episode features the audio from a keynote I recently shared titled “Building a Brand that Sells Itself”.
While the audio is not to the quality I prefer, I believe the content and takeaways are worth listening to.
More on this keynote:
By creating a visible and consistent personal brand that demonstrates expertise while communicating a desire to offer value, you will draw your ideal clients to yourself. We must lean into who we are and what makes us great. Then and only then can we create a process to achieve the success we desire.
Through great tragedy, I was inspired to reflect on this very idea of who I had become professionally. I thought I had it dialed in before only to realize I had lost a sense of who I was, clouded by my past successes and failures. Thankfully, my commitment to learn and grow from that experience resulted in me becoming an industry influencer, gaining the respect of my peers and the eye of my ideal clients. And I want the same results for others!
Enjoy!
