“The truth that I've found with myself, but also very successful people that I've been exposed to, is the one rule they don't want us to all know. And that is they're all making it up as they go along.” Success is not a straight path. Chasing down a dream will be fraught with rejection, loss, and pain. The key to achieving success is to be resilient and creative. Continue to take steps in the dark, not knowing that the path is there. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back. And ask for help. This is the advice of two time Emmy Award–winning talk show host, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur, Mario Armstrong. He risked everything to follow his passion and made a hit TV show out of creative solutions and the unwillingness to settle. About the Guest: Mario Armstrong is an Emmy award-winning American radio and television talk show host, entrepreneur, podcaster, and public speaker. His web television series, Never Settle, provides the advice and tools to help others hustle mindfully to pursue their passions.

“What it means to have a practice is that you show up tomorrow even if it didn’t work today.” That is what Seth Godin, entrepreneur, best-selling author, guru, and marketing hall of famer, has to say about The Practice, his methodology on finding your true voice. The Practice is not about making art, writing a book, or working as a manager. It is about being an artist, a writer, and a leader. What is it that separates those who have creative hobbies and those who fully embrace their creativity? It is the work and not the outcome. It is finding and listening to the uninhibited inner genius. It is being generous and it is moving forward without guarantees. And it is about giving yourself the grace and forgiveness to be unsure, to feel like an imposter, and to fail. Because once you start The Practice, it doesn’t become easier, it becomes normal. About the Guest: Seth Godin is an author, entrepreneur and most of all, a teacher. In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world, he has written 19 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn (And It's Always Your Turn). By focusing on everything from effective marketing and leadership, to the spread of ideas and change, Seth has been able to motivate and inspire countless people around the world. In 2013, Seth was one of just three professionals inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame. In an astonishing turn of events, in May 2018, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame as well. He might be the only person in both. About The Practice: Seth Godin’s new book launches today, November 3rd, 2020. This elegant little book will inspire artists, writers, and entrepreneurs to stretch and commit to putting their best work out into the world. Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human. Most of all, he shows you what it takes to turn your passion from a private distraction to a productive contribution, the one you've been seeking to share all along. With this book as your guide, you'll learn to dance with your fear. To take the risks worth taking. And to embrace the empathy required to make work that contributes with authenticity and joy.

This week, Heather is changing up the format and talking directly to you. For the first time without a guest, Heather shares her background, expertise, and advice won with hard learned lessons.

If you are in a toxic environment, no matter how much value you are bringing to the table, shining your light will ruffle some feathers. Don’t allow yourself to be stymied. Get out. Get moving. And keep pitching. The right table will come. This is Heather’s first solo episode. Give her some feedback on what you think!

Cal Fussman and host Heather Monahan talk about the power of leading with certainty and the maximization that can occur for others and therefore yourself when we act confident. Leveraging how you know you can help the world (key word is here: unapologetically KNOW) is how you can attain bigger results. Don’t play small. You are doing the world and yourself a disservice when you do. Lead with certainty and confidence and you will notice things start to change positively and powerfully. About the Guest: Cal Fussman is someone who is always going someplace new.Young people wearing earbuds may only know of him through his podcast, Big Questions, which recently cracked the iTunes top 50 in its first week.People who recognize him in airports because of his Fedora are likely to have seen him speak at conferences and corporate events around the world over the last couple of years. Readers may know him for some time now as a New York Times best-selling author.Magazine lovers may recognize him as the writer who spent a week with Muhammad Ali for an Esquire Magazine cover story, and interviewed Mikhail Gorbachev, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson, Robert DeNiro and hundreds of others who’ve shaped the last half-century. Wine lovers will know him as the guy who became sommelier at Windows on the World at the top of the World Trade Center just before it was taken down on 9/11. Relatively few people got to see him as the dad on the practice football field every day from the time his son couldn’t kick an extra point through the day he won a game with a 40-yard field goal in the final moments to the day he could kick them from well beyond 50. Kids in the cul-de-sac saw him as the dad who cooked breakfast for the entire neighborhood on Sunday mornings and beamed when his toothless oldest daughter said with pride: “My dad makes pancakes from scrap!” A select few friends and relatives saw him enter Carnegie Hall to watch his youngest daughter perform with her choir. His three kids see him as the man in the photo above his desk sparring with Julio Cesar Chavez when he was 87-0 with 75 knockouts and junior welterweight champion of the world.
