Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan

John Walsh, founder of StandoutX, former executive at The Walt Disney Company and The Madison Square Garden Company, and bestselling author, does not seem like the kind of man who started out his life battling homelessness. But John has turned his adversity into fuel that has catapulted him into success. And this success is not defined by an important job or large salary, but by his own definition—investing in his family and helping those around him. He understands that to craft your life towards a meaningful legacy, you must take risks, put in what you hope to get out, and uplift others. So join the Stand Out Movement and build your own success. About The Guest: John Walsh is an inspirational and successful executive, entrepreneur, author, husband and dad with a passion for impacting the lives of others. John faced many challenges, uncertainty and failures early in his life but he created a purposeful and happy life with a lot of hard work and help from others. Over time, he created a playbook that allowed him to make the journey from homeless in high school to a senior executive with Disney and Madison Square Garden. He is the founder and CEO of StandoutX, whose mission is to inspire and help millions of young adults stand out in their own lives and careers.

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.

We all know that on the other side of negativity is positivity…but what about what’s in between? There is a lot of popular rhetoric that suggests jumping straight into positive thinking when faced with a negative experience is the next step but the truth is that is unrealistic and idealistic thinking. There has to be space for the process to happen to get to the other side and through all his research, Trevor Moawad and his team confirmed that leaning into a negative mindset for the sports community was, in fact not yielding beneficial results on the field, so he coined the process of “thinking neutrally” to fuel the transformation to more wins and a more productive mindset. About The Guest: Trevor Moawad is a renowned Mental Conditioning expert and strategic advisor to some of the world’s most elite performers. Trevor Moawad recently partnered with Russell Wilson to form Limitless Minds whose mission is to both optimize performance and enrich culture within some of the world’s top organizations and elite performers.

Renowned comedian Nikki Glaser takes us through the value of validation, her journey through getting good enough, mental health and the time it takes to earn success. About The Guest: Nikki Glaser is one of the funniest female voices in comedy today. For over a decade at clubs across the country, and as the host of three hit podcasts, Glaser has been honing her shockingly- honest, no-holds barred style of comedy. In that time, Nikki has also executive produced and hosted two TV shows: Nikki & Sara Live for MTV (a female-driven pop culture sketch comedy show) and Not Safe with Nikki Glaser for Comedy Central (a daring comedic show that tackled taboo sexual topics). In addition to her shows, Nikki has multiple stand-up specials and late-night tv appearances in which she jokes about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world. Nikki’s past and current struggles with anorexia, depression, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up and in in-depth interviews like WTF with Marc Maron and JRE with Joe Rogan. Glaser has become a complete open book on mic - and not just for the laughs; she’s also adamant on being the voice for women that she yearned for as a young, confused, adolescent herself. You can currently find Nikki flexing her over-sharing muscle as the daily host of the (entirely female-staffed) morning radio show, You Up With Nikki Glaser on Comedy Central radio on Sirius XM.

Furthermore, he will guide us through a marketing plan that is designed for you to seize the moment based on the data he compounded from in depth research and one large distinction he makes is our values have changed to these principles: Do you show safety/are you offering safety for me, is this something that is going to help me/help others, and do I trust you?

“The little rain drops are what make the storm” in other words, the small things matter and communication is key. With the global pandemic and many states in the U.S having a “shelter in place” mandate in effect, those of us in cohabiting relationships are being challenged in a way that magnifies our short-comings and our gifts. The experience at hand, riddled with stress and pressure, serves as a magnifier of our situations and will position us so that we can no longer look away from what may not be working. However, it can also allow us to lean into our connection even deeper and allow our most human tendencies like empathy, understanding and connection lead us. About the Guest: Since the day he was "sworn in" as an attorney in Brooklyn, New York in 2001, James J. Sexton’s skills as a trial lawyer and courtroom advocate have rapidly thrust him into the forefront of the New York State family landscape. Described by some as a "compassionate and dedicated advocate" and others as a "courtroom gunslinger" or "the sociopath you want on your side," Sexton has captured the attention of the New York legal community and the results he obtains for his clients, in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, speak for themselves. Sexton has intentionally focused his practice on divorce and family law since his graduation Fordham Law School. In addition to his Juris Doctorate (Law Degree) he has a Master of Arts degree from New York University where he focused his graduate studies on persuasive speech and propaganda. After nearly two decades of refining his skills as a trial lawyer in the Courtrooms of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Rockland, Westchester and Orange Counties, Sexton's legal skills and confidence in the courtroom earned him his place in the top 1% of family law attorneys practicing in New York. In 2018, upon the release of his first book, Sexton added #1 bestselling author, television personality and sought-after public speaker to his resume: his penchant for verbal gymnastics and no-holds-barred approach to argument thrusting him into the national spotlight.

We all want more happiness. But what if our brains lie to us about how to get there? Psychologist Dr. Laurie Santos, whose Yale course “Psychology and the Good Life,” is the most popular class ever offered in the history of the university, illuminates what science says about what makes us happy and also how to put effective happiness strategies into practice. But not everyone can enroll in Santos’ class at Yale or has the time to take the online equivalent on Coursera. In Season One of THE HAPPINESS LAB, Dr. Laurie Santos explores startling truths and explodes myths about what makes us happy in ten exhilarating and informative episodes. Examining questions such as: will a new job or relationship make us happy, are we happier when we have unlimited choice and how can we harness technology to improve our well-being. Through surprising interviews with the likes of David Byrne, Michelle Kwan and Michael Phelps’s coach, along with in-depth storytelling and the science to back it up, Santos explores how our minds lie to us about our feelings of contentment and teaches listeners how to find more effective ways to become happier. About The Guest: Laurie Santos is a Professor of Psychology and the Head of Silliman College at Yale University. After observing a disturbing level of unhappiness and anxiety among her students, she began teaching a course entitled "Psychology and the Good Life," which quickly became the most popular course in Yale's history and has also reached over 350,000 people from all over the world through it’s online version. Although she’s now best known as a "happiness expert,” Santos's research explores the much broader question of "What makes the human mind unique?" and often includes comparing the cognitive capacities of non-human animals to humans.
