Justin Baldoni Unboxing - Undefining What It Means To Be A Man of Faith, Integrity, Character & Worth

Justin Baldoni, an award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who focuses on revolutionizing the ways in which we perceive media through his newly established Wayfarer Studios.  Justin’s passion for impactful storytelling led him to his directorial debut with FIVE FEET APART starring Cole Sprouse & Haley Richardson. The film raised awareness and highlighted the reality of those afflicted by cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening disorder that impacts 70,000 people around the world. Late last year, Baldoni co-founded Wayfarer Studios, a studio commitment to creating purpose-driven, multi-platform, content for TV and FILM that elevates and speaks to the human spirit; featuring a robust, genre-defying slate of projects spanning film, scripted television, documentaries, digital platforms, and more.  Baldoni directed and produced Wayfarer Studios’ first feature film project, CLOUDS, based on the heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting book “Fly a Little Higher” by Laura Sobiech about her son Zach, a musically gifted 17-year old living with osteosarcoma. Wayfarer Studios co-financed the film that has since been acquired by Disney+—becoming Disney’s first-ever narrative acquisition on its global platform—and is set to be released worldwide this fall but confidentially in October. Justin has a new book coming out called Man Enough About the BookA GRIPPING, FEARLESS EXPLORATION OF MASCULINITYThe effects of traditionally defined masculinity have become one of the most prevalent social issues of our time. In this engaging and provocative new book, beloved actor, director, and social activist Justin Baldoni reflects on his own struggles with masculinity. With insight and honesty, he explores a range of difficult, sometimes uncomfortable topics including strength and vulnerability, relationships and marriage, body image, sex and sexuality, racial justice, gender equality, and fatherhood. Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we’ve learned since childhood and the roles we are expected to play. He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen. Encouraging men to dig deep within themselves, Justin helps us reimagine what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.Buy the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780063055612/man-enough/Connect with Justin on Social Media: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/justinbaldoni/Twitter - https://twitter.com/justinbaldoniFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/justinbaldoniFollow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Amy Wolff Unboxing - How Small Acts of Kindness Can Give People Hope

"Pinch me - that's how I feel about my job. I am an honest and compassionate truth-teller for clients so they can level-up their speaking/presentation skills. I get to create brave environments where visible transformation happens (real outcomes!). Not only do I love earning the trust of clients and watching them develop their speaking presence, I also love owning this company with my father; a company he started over 25 years ago.Along with supporting brilliant clients, from shoe designers to engineers to authors to utility managers to sales teams to attorneys, I also get to be a speaker coach for TEDx speakers at TEDxPortland, the largest TEDx event in the United States.Where I feel most alive is taking my skill and passion to one of my most favorite places in the world, Kigali, Rwanda, where I train pastors how to be more effective communicators of hope.Expertise: public speaking, presenting, message consulting, coaching, speaker coach," Signs of Hope Book With so much suffering in our communities and in the world, it can feel impossible to make an impact. "What good can I possibly do?" we ask. As a busy mom and small business owner, Amy Wolff often felt unqualified and too overwhelmed to address the suffering around her. But one day in 2017, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city. This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement, hope, and love, which spread to 50 states and 27 countries in just 18 months. Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering. This book discusses:- the drain of compassion fatigue - why we should show up imperfectly to help others - how to claim hope for ourselves - practical ideas of how to respond to suffering - strategies of how to love people who are “different”  - resilience when love-spreading efforts backfire - how to raise a compassionate generation - the science of hopeThis feel-good, call-to-action book will restore your belief in humanity and empower you to live a life of impact. Changing the world, or at least your corner of it, is easier than you think.

Dr Sarah Woodhouse Unboxing - You're Not Broken, How To Break Free From Trauma

"I researched trauma for over a decade as an academic. I still research trauma today, but now my research helps me create cutting-edge online courses and openhearted self-help books, instead of research papers.We all carry trauma in one way or another, and we can’t truly thrive until we break free from our past. This is why I write, create programs and keep researching and learning: so I can help you move on…and then create the life you want.The freedom process™ is the outcome of fifteen years research, learning, talking, listening and experience. It’s also the outcome of my own personal journey of recovery, healing, growth and thriving.My new book, You’re Not Broken, published by Penguin is now available to order now.what else?I was born and raised just outside Oxford in the UK, and spent most of my adult life living and working in London. My academic research was funded by the UK’s Medical Research Council. My PhD explored how different ways of thinking, feeling and being affect trauma symptoms. Before I became a research psychologist I was a political lobbyist for the music industry – I bet you’d never have guessed that?!Two years ago I moved to Australia with my husband and three young kids. FYI, this was the bravest, hardest, best, most tiring, thing I’ve ever done.I love yoga, reading teenage vampire novels, Mexican food and all things woo-woo and spiritual.what have i recovered from?Well, one kind of psychologist would say I recovered from anorexia and generalised anxiety. A different type of therapist would call it a complete disconnection from body and spirit. Someone from the twelve-step fellowships, like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), would call it addiction (to under-eating) and spiritual bankruptcy.Honestly, it’s all of these things and more. But what do I say I recovered from? I say I recovered from trauma, and I say you can too."Connect with Dr Sarah Woodhouse and buy her new book: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesarahwoodhouse/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesarahwoodhouseTwitter - https://twitter.com/sn_woodhouseBuy her new book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Youre-Not-Broken-Sarah-Woodhouse/9781761040160 If you enjoyed my conversations with Vishen Lakhiani & Marisa Peer then I am excited to share with you that I have partnered up with Mindvalley to give you THEIR FREE MASTERCLASSES!
