What stories are you telling yourself...and are they holding you back? In this episode of No More Mondays, I speak with Quinn Harwood, leadership coach, author of GrowthTime!, and expert in helping people break through belief barriers that limit their growth. We'll explore how mindset shapes identity, why confidence and clarity matter, and how storytelling can unlock purpose and performance. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to step into your next chapter, this is your sign to start now!

What if negotiation wasn’t about going to combat or coming out the winner? What if, instead, it was about communication, clarity, confidence, and a little creativity? In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Patrick Griffin, fractional CFO, negotiation expert, and the most charming finance guy you’ll ever meet, to reframe how we think about negotiation. From asking for a raise to simply asking for what you need, Patrick and I talk about the hard truth behind why most of us don't get what we want: we never ask. This conversation explores how to negotiate like a human (not a robot), why hearing "no" is actually a win, and how curiosity and a genuine smile can alter the outcome. Whether you’re chasing 223 yeses or just trying to stop settling, this one’s for you!

What if employee engagement wasn’t about perks, pizza parties, or another survey? In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Renee Marchak, veteran HR leader, founder of Level-Up Career Coaching, and creator of the #ChangeMakers Circle, to unpack the powerful framework of 11 Employee Engagement Drivers.  If your team feels fine but not fired up, or if you feel like the job looks great on paper but feels like a soul-suck, this conversation is your roadmap to change! Whether you're a leader, coach, or employee who wants to feel more fulfilled at work, Renee’s insights will help you bring happiness back to the workplace.

Regardless of your gender, we've all had that moment in life...the one where we see what we think is a shining example of who we want to be. THAT GUY. You know, the one who walks into a room with quiet confidence, shows up with discipline, and somehow makes it all look easy. But what if becoming "that guy" wasn’t about hype, hustle, or perfection? In this episode of No More Mondays, I talk with DJ Logory, coach, mental fitness mentor, and creator of the Be That Guy program, where he's helping young men build the habits, mindset, and emotional intelligence it takes to become their best self. From redefining confidence and courage to challenging our addiction to “mental junk food,” DJ shares tools that work, whether you’re 19 and figuring it out or 39 and starting over.

What if being unforgettable didn’t mean being flashy, loud, or “on” all the time? In this episode of No More Mondays, I sit down with Phil Mershon, author, speaker, musician, and creator of Unforgettable Experiences, to explore how small, intentional moments can leave the biggest mark. From saxophone solos to standout events, Phil shares how authentic connection, not performance, is the real key to making an impact that lasts. Whether you’re a coach, solopreneur, or leader, this episode will help you design mini-experiences that people remember by showing up as the kind of person who’s impossible to forget (no spotlight required)...just by being you!

What makes a great leader? According to Damon Lembi, it’s not about being born for the role, or even being “made” for it. It’s about staying in the making, showing up with curiosity, and putting in the reps to grow. In this episode of No More Mondays, Damon, CEO of Learnit, leadership speaker, and former D1 baseball player, and I explore how a Learn-It-All mindset (not a Know-It-All one) is the real secret to navigating leadership, self-doubt, and success in today’s world. We talk sports, business, and the underrated skills modern leaders need to thrive. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay coachable, lead with confidence, or beat imposter syndrome, this conversation is your playbook.

🔥 What if your next big move didn’t require burning it all down? In this episode of No More Mondays, I chat with Brittany Rogars, speaker, founder, and unapologetic advocate for ambitious women (who might be the sparkly, pink disco-ball to my earthy, dirt-covered crunch). 🪩 From escaping survival mode to building a multi–six–figure consulting firm, Brittany shares how authenticity became her greatest asset, and how small, intentional shifts can create massive change. If you’re stuck, seeking clarity, or scared your next chapter needs to be perfect, this one’s for you.

Are you playing small? Does fear drive your decision-making? Does life feel more draining than energizing?  Are you living up to your potential?  These are a lot of big questions to be asking yourself on a Monday morning, but they're crucial if you want to live with authenticity and intention.  Need a little inspriation?  David Young is here to tell his story of how he overcame the scarcity (and scared) mindset to find a more fulfilling - and sustainable - life and career! 

What if the one thing you can’t stop thinking about is the exact thing the world needs from you? In this week’s episode of No More Mondays, I’m joined by longtime friend, speaker, author, and creator of The Thing, Terry Weaver.  We dig into the big questions—why we get stuck, why we don’t start, and how to finally act on the thing that won’t leave you alone. From the illusion of safety and the power of community over competition to why your gifts aren’t meant to stay hidden, we're covering it all.  Whether your dream is a whisper, a calling, or just a nudge you haven’t quite figured out yet, this conversation will light a fire under you to stop waiting and start doing. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, wondering when it’s “the right time” to act—this is your sign.
