If you’re a frequent listener of this podcast as well as my other show, Marketing Speak, you know that one of the themes that runs throughout both shows is infusing business with a higher awareness.

"Resilience isn't about bouncing back. It is the ability to move forward, choose to have a life of joy, and thrive even when things don't go as planned."Amberly Lago Gratitude is alchemy. It changes what you can’t do into what you can do, and what you don’t have into what you do have. Everything we are doing — our thoughts, habits, and choices — is either moving us closer or further away from our goal. These are wise words from my guest today, who has lived through incredible, seemingly insurmountable…
"Being on masterminds is not about networking. It is investing in yourself to grow in different aspects of life."Irené Turtle There's a pervasive obsession in society with bolstering one’s weaknesses rather than focusing on one’s strengths.

Leisa Peterson is The Mindful Millionaire Maker. As a coach, author, business growth strategist, and founder of WealthClinic, she helps…
"Once you recognize that you are an essential element in the universe, you become a conduit of goodness and a child of God."Barry Shore It’s no surprise that stress leads to illness and struggle in one's life.

"I do believe that all of us have that creative spark in us for something. For me, it was writing and storytelling. "Lisa Papademetriou Like art, writing aims to express, inspire, and educate. It holds power to touch and even save people's lives. However, pouring your heart out through your writing can prove quite challenging. As a prolific writer myself with three books published by O’Reilly and hundreds of articles published over a variety of media sites, I've had my fair share of the dreaded writer's block. With a new…
"Being on masterminds is not about networking. It is investing in yourself to grow in different aspects of life."Stephan Spencer How do you invest in yourself? In my case, one of the ways I invest in myself is through masterminds. I’m a connoisseur of high-level masterminds. At any given moment I’m in 5 or 6 masterminds at the same time. Many people believe that masterminds are about networking - meeting people to grow and market your business. Like it’s a BNI, Business Networking International, group. It’s so much more than…
"Isn't life all about the sandwiches? That's the best way to deal with life. Have a good sandwich and think about the best and worst moments you've witnessed.
