Both in life and in the workplace, we are often taught to empower others, and rightfully so. Giving someone else the authority and agency to make things better is one of those endorphin-producing actions that puts a smile on your face. But empowering yourself? Hold your horses. We get it; allowing yourself the freedom to choose based solely on happiness, not on other external factors, is not easy. In fact, it's something that many of us have been taught to steer far away from. Which is why we've got Jenna Banks with us on today's episode. She is an empowerment expert, author, and social impact entrepreneur who is here to help all of us put one foot in front of the other and take those next steps toward fulfillment.

There are 1,440 minutes in each day. What if just one of those minutes could make all the difference? One minute is all you need to Pause, Breathe, and Reflect. Taking that minute of mindfulness to recharge, reset, and be present is what many of us are missing in our lives.  It's a message Michael O'Brien has been sharing for years as an executive coach, speaker, and meditation coach. After surviving a near-fatal cycling accident, Michael used mindfulness and self-awareness as a tool to recover, and it's a message we think everyone should hear.

There are many paths to success in life. Some are easy roads, others harder. Sometimes a bit of luck plays a part in success; other times, you have to bite the bullet and work hard for it. Regardless of the circumstance, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself. Which is why we're so stoked to have Ben Lavender on with us today to share his story and how being your authentic self is the key to success in the workplace and in life.  

Whose rules are you following? Such a simple question, one that should have a simple answer. But of course, we wouldn't have dedicated almost an hour talking about it if that were the case. Imposter Syndrome is what this episode is all about; how the rules that our culture creates are internalized in destructive ways, leading to all sorts of negative thoughts, feelings, and outcomes. Heather Whelpley is a leading speaker, author, and coach who has dedicated herself to helping others correct this self-harm caused by Imposter Syndrome, and we're so excited to have her on the show. So tune in as we do a deep dive into how we can all help ourselves to overcome the scourge that is Imposter Syndrome.

The modern American work week can be brutal. Not only are you expected to work long hours for less and less pay, but the benefits aren't always beneficial, and the so-called "vacation time" doesn't stretch nearly far enough. The American Dream just isn't what it used to be... Like so many of us, Craig Severinsen was stuck in the above work rut, and he decided to do something about it: he founded the Built to Scale Framework, a system for growing your business, putting in place systems so that businesses can grow and scale beyond what the founder is capable of on their own. Listen in, and let Craig show you how to live life on your own terms.

Mental Health is not a "one-and-done" project with a set timeline. It's a constantly changing, evolving state of being that needs to be cared for on a regular basis. Or at least that's how it should be. After several years of increasing stress, the state of our collective mental health has never been more important. Both in the workplace and at home, we all need to know how we care for our mental health, as well as the mental health of others. This is where Lindsay Recknell comes in; she is the CEO of Paradigm Corporate Wellness, and she is here to share her wisdom on all things mental health.  Listen in and learn how to close the stress cycle and learn how to navigate mental health at work and at home.

It's not always easy to be yourself.  Standing for your own values, not those imposed on you by others, is a skill that takes effort to build, and the end result is unparalleled strength.  Which is why we're so happy to have Rhyan Smith with us for today's episode. Rhyan is a Brand Strategist and Business Coach whose lessons and leadership focus on being your own best advocate, and how having the courage to trust our intuition is the key to success.  So listen in for some hard-earned wisdom on how to go through business and life as your best, authentic self.

Kevin Cassidy is probably the most famous guest we've had on this show. With numerous Hollywood films under his belt, including 8 Marvel films alone, you've probably seen him in multiple films without knowing who he was because his face was never shown; Kevin was a Hollywood stuntman. Born with a severe cleft palate, Kevin endured relentless bullying growing up, and in college he was wrongfully arrested and jailed, losing his scholarship and spot on the football team. The fact that today he is a business owner, author, and speaker is a testament to his perseverance, work ethic, and drive, not to mention his outlook on life, and we're so excited to have him on the show to share his message. It's pretty apropos that his recent memoir is titled "Falling Down to Find Myself".
