622: Your personal, hard story is your key
We are talking about your story and your stage. So I interviewed Pete Vargas in shows 619 the main show, and 620, the Habits show. And I just couldn’t leave his message alone, about story and stage. So I posted this question on Facebook, “If you were set on a stage before thousands to share something you felt was important, what are some aspects of personal story you think some people could/would connect with?” We got very in depth, heartfelt testimonies here, and I had Pete join me to help folks understand how to share their stories and struggles...and really connect with people, and leverage value for everyone. It was an incredible conversation. Pete is just amazing, his insight is tremendous and you will be inspired and empowered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

620: Selling the love
We are talking about selling for love. I’ll explain. Two examples. Ever seen a GREAT movie that just wowed you? It made you feel great and you just wanted EVERYONE to experience it and benefit? You told everyone? Second example, imagine you have a loved one who is dying from a rare disease, your beloved spouse or parent, and you divinely meet someone who had the same issue but found an alternative treatment that is somewhat risky but literally cured the issue and saved their life, and you went to your loved one and fervently, unabashedly tried to sell them on doing it? Get the idea? In both cases you were selling, though you never thought of it that way. You were simply caring for others and trying to help them out of love. Well, Zig Ziglar loved sales. He placed sales people on a pedestal next to pastors. At least those who did it...right. Which is having a product or service you truly know will serve people well and selling it to those who need it out of care and love. I play a four minute clip from Zig that drives this point home. From it I posted this question on Facebook, “What do you sell that you feel is out of love for the person who really needs it?” We of course got great responses and Tom Ziglar and I read through them. Tom shared so many great stories as we read through the comments, you will get so much from this show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are talking about your story and your stage and we have a master with us...Pete Vargas. First though, you must know that Zig Ziglar came to fame primarily due to just that...his story and many, many stages. His main platform was live speaking events, but he impacted man more through audios and books. But He was a master of his stage. So here’s the deal, we all have a stage with our businesses. How do we capitalize with them? So to Pete Vargas. Ziglar is helping promote his upcoming workshops, but of course I’m digging into his personal story, which is significant. A quick bio...Pete is Founder and CEO of Advance Your Reach.

618: What have you achieved while still being scared?
Let’s talk about how you have overcome lacking confidence, being scared and insecure, and you achieved something anyway. In show 615 we talked with Jessica Honegger about this issue, and I just couldn’t leave Jessica’s message on “going scared”, from her book “Imperfect Courage” - Live a life of purpose leaving comfort and going scared. So I posted this question on Facebook, "What is something you were lacking confidence in...a bit scared...insecure, but you did it anyway? And what made you do it anyway?" This question brought a high volume of responses, and I had Jessica join me to talk through them! It was just a wowing conversation that I believe you’ll get massive inspiration from.

She is founder of Noonday Collection, the largest fair-trade jewelry company in the worldand author of “ IMPERFECT COURAGE: LIVE A LIFE OF PURPOSE BY LEAVING COMFORT AND GOING SCARED”.

616: Resources to change your self image
Resources that help change your self image! Zig Ziglar gives us a fairly serious message on how vital and profound...the picture we have of ourselves is. And the key to our success is changing...improving...elevating that picture. Believing more for ourselves. From this message I posted this question on Facebook, "What has been a primary resource that has helped CHANGE your self image for the better? That has truly improved how you view yourself and what you believe yourself to be capable of?" The responses were...really in depth. So in depth that I’ve switched the format of the show. I’m doing it solo, no co host. So I can devote the time primarily, to just sharing with you...what others so openly and vulnerably shared. We had a wide variety of resources that people cited for changing their self image. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

615: Jessica Honegger, how to go scared
We tackle the idea of...going scared. If you are waiting to NOT be scared, to not have fear, before proceeding in any direction, we have a gift for you. Go anyway. Because the “no fear” concept is basically a myth. The spoils go to those who have fear and just go forward anyway. Which brings us to our guest, Jessica Honegger who recently launched a book titled, “ IMPERFECT COURAGE: LIVE A LIFE OF PURPOSE BY LEAVING COMFORT AND GOING SCARED”. And she writes from experience. She is the founder of Noonday Collection, the largest fair-trade jewelry company in the world. She knows first hand about going big while being scared, which you’ll hear in the show. She was empowered by seeing women in some of the hardest conditions in impoverished nations...produce great works. From that her heart and perspective for others is...there is a World of need and you are the solution to the problems you see. So get off the couch and walk out your front door into the possibilities. As a female founder and co-CEO of a big company, we also get into the topic of women and what they deal with in the workplace and combating the very real issue of the Woman's place being in the home. It was a candid, fun and enlightening talk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
