Today's conversation is with Jerry Nabb, a brand new friend I've been following on Facebook for the past year or so. Jerry is a personal and business coach who has been on a long and purposeful journey. In this conversation, he shares parts of that journey and also the wisdom he's been accessing his entire life.

Back in my Keller Williams days now a decade ago, I learned an acronym from a very wise teacher named Dick Dillingham. The acronym was what we as presenters and trainers and coaches would benefit from becoming. The acronym was KOOL: Keen Observer Of Life. I've never forgotten that, and I've been practicing ever since. In today's episode I share some of my ponderings as I do my best to remain KOOL.

This episode was recorded on Valentines Day, a day typically experienced by those in relationships. But what if you spend some time, whether you are in a relationship or unaccompanied, caring for and loving YOU today (and every day)? I share some insights and some distinctions that might help you take care of YOU. Here is a link for our Chill Out experience this year: https://chillout2024.eventbrite.com.

In today's episode, I share some distinctions I'm becoming acutely aware of in my everyday life, along with an aha I had as I'm doing some pondering this past week. The distinctions are between Interest and Commitment, and also between doing things Solo or doing them Together. My aha had to do with my core desire for connection. Thanks to those who watched live as I was recording! If you're interested in learning more about Chill Out, go to https://chillout2024.eventbrite.com.

Today's conversation is with author and speaker Michael Ivanov whose newest book "This Is Why I'm Here" is his first non-fiction work explaining what's he's learned - and continues to learn - about living his life on purpose. As a child, Michael immigrated with his parents and seven siblings to the United States just before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Michael is the grandson of a 'Siege of Leningrad' and Dachau camp survivor. His talent for story-telling and the way he weaves success principles into his books and speeches, motivate and empower audiences to smash fears, limitations, and passive, excuse-oriented mindsets. In addition to his current book, Michael is the author of four novels, each of which introduces principles for living life with purpose. He reveals how the personal choices we make, the attitudes we carry, and the principles we choose to live by, determine the success & quality of our lives.
