Going North Podcast

“Quitting is not an option.” – Dr. Eric Holmes   Today’s featured award-winning and bestselling author is minister, motivational speaker, and radio show host, Dr. Eric Holmes. Dr. Eric and I talk about what helped him gain success with his 1st 2 books, not giving up on your God-given vision and more!   Key Takeaways: When starting a book, do your research and have a mentor. Some down times in life are merely speed bumps on your way to your goal. Keep people around you that push you to go further. Mentors should have your best interests at heart and wisdom they can pour into you. Understand how powerful your seed is. “Someone else is dependent on your testimony.” “Always push, press and pursue.” You always got to put in the work. Prayer still works. Faith will take you further than you thought possible.     Dr. Eric’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Seed-Dr-Eric-Holmes-ebook/dp/B01HU9B3TK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=dr.+erica+holmes&qid=1577688260&s=books&sr=1-2-fkmr0   The opening song for this episode is titled, "Faith" by Marcus D.

“Any level of well-being was only ever based in service.” - James Purpura   Today's featured author is CEO, husband, and father of 5, James Purpura. James and I talk about his book/film "Perception: Seeing is Not Believing".   Key Takeaways: Ask others more often, “what can I do for you?”   “Your way out of emotional pain is to help somebody else.”   Human beings are designed to help and serve others.   Rich people no longer live with the illusion that money brings   “Believing is seeing.”   Foster the belief in yourself to see what you want to manifest in your life.   James' Site: https://powerful-u.com/     James’ Book w/ His Wife Stephanie: https://www.amazon.com/Perception-Seeing-Believing-Time-Evolve/dp/194176827X   The opening track is titled "Urgent Advance - METAL GEAR 2 Q-MIX" by Rukunetsu AKA Project R.

“Everybody tells you to be patient but they don’t tell you how to be patient.” – L.T. Bourne   Today’s featured author is activist, filmmaker and speaker from the Caribbean Islands, L.T. Bourne. Leo and I talk about his book, his nonprofit “Open Thought” and the qualities of a true leader.   Key Takeaways: “I believe that we all have a story to tell and it’s unfair to the next generation for us to take our stories to the grave.” “We have to find ways to let our light shine.” “People feed off of your passion.” Find and live out your passion. Live life fearlessly. Leaders should have integrity, passion and an open mind. The person you know may change within 10 minutes just by getting on social media and seeing a mind-changing post. We live in the age of instant gratification and it doesn’t reflect how the process of life truly works. “Take care of yourself and be patient with yourself.”   L.T.’s Site: https://ltbourne.org/   L.T.’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Mans-World-conquered-ebook/dp/B07TJ9PWR4   The opening track is titled “Amor Vencer” from Subterranean Sessions by MadXruler formerly known as Ruler Inc.

“Clutter is a constant to-do list.” - Tracy McCubbin   Today’s featured bestselling author is clutter expert and Co-Executive Director of the nonprofit, OneKid OneWorld, Tracy McCubbin. Tracy and I talk about how to never lose your keys again, how she started her successful decluttering business and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: People attach stories to their stuff that eventually becomes clutter. Clutter has an ongoing cost of time and space. “Humans are very reward oriented." When you’re paying for a room in your home that you don’t use for anything else besides storage, then you are losing money. Pay attention to where your home isn’t working for you and visualize how you want it to be if it’s not in that state yet. “Rome wasn’t cluttered in a day.” Know your worth and charge accordingly as a professional (organizer). Don’t pay yourself below minimum wage.   Tracy’s Site: https://dclutterfly.com/ Tracy’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Space-Clutter-Free-Decluttering/dp/1492675199/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550055018&sr=8-1&keywords=Making+Space%2C+Clutter-Free%3A+The+Last+Book+on+Decluttering+You%27ll+Ever+Need.   The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

Seek to never retire from doing valuable work and contributing to your fellow human being. Today's featured bestselling author is speaker, award-winning poet, harpist, singer, and the #1 Brain Rejuvenator, Julie Renee Doering. Julie and I talk about living a dynamic life by having a healthy brain. This is one interview that you don't want to miss! Key Takeaways: Meditating at 4:30 am is a great way to start your day. Smiles bring happiness and show approval. We have the capacity to live longer lives. Having young children in your life keeps you young and active. Ample energy comes from good sleep and a proper diet. Energy from the body is supply and demand. If you ask your body for it and take care of it, energy will come to you. Keep your brain hydrated by drinking 2-4 ounces of water every 30-45 minutes. A hydrated brain is a healthy brain. Always exercise and use your mind. The brain must be fed continuously. “Read books of great value and develop your mind.” Commit to reading a book a week. Singing keeps your energy at a high level. “The human voice is the closest resonance with the Divine.” Julie's Site: http://julierenee.com/ Julie's Books: http://julierenee.com/books/ Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Book: "Parenting Children of Trauma": https://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Children-Trauma-Foster-Adoption-Understanding-ebook/dp/B07QMTQ36X/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1UQ2SZETK8SM2&keywords=parenting+children+of+trauma&qid=1575267684&sprefix=parenting+children+of+tr%2Caps%2C136&sr=8-3 Book: "Yes Yes Hell No": https://www.amazon.com/Yes-Hell-No-Little-Decisions-ebook/dp/B00QZCYK1W/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OJD3QXR6KOCO&keywords=yes+yes+hell+no&qid=1575260590&sprefix=yes+yes%2Caps%2C133&sr=8-1 Book: "The Blue Zones": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1426207557/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1426207557/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i4 The opening track is titled, "Oni Kazumi R-Mix" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

“Our dreams are so important in our healing.” - Kat Kanavos   Today's featured bestselling and award-winning author is fellow show host, dream expert, and three-time breast cancer survivor, Kathleen O'Keefe-Kanavos. Kat and I talk about her new co-author project, the importance of understanding your dreams, and more!!   Key Takeaways:   We are never alone in our struggles. Someone else has gone through or is going through the same trials that you have.   “Change can be painful but without change, there is no hope for a future.”   Humans are able to adjust, adapt and advance through change.   Humans are creatures of habit that sometimes refuse to change to have a semblance of control.   Have a dream journal.   So Dream = Set your intention, organize yourself, realize that you will dream because everything dreams, remain in your dream position when you wake up, emotions felt when you had your dream, add to the emotion in your dream journal, and mean to do it.   Kat's Site: http://kathleenokeefekanavos.com/     Order a copy of the above book, “Chaos to Clarity” Here: https://sacredstoriespublishing.com/#!/chaos-to-clarity     The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

Stephanie Red Feather, PhD.   Today's featured bestselling author is US Air Force Veteran, ordained shamanic minister, and divine feminine change agent Rev. Dr. Stephanie Red Feather. Stephanie and me talk about her empath journey and overcoming the habit of people-pleasing.    Key Takeaways: “It’s a journey and it’s not a lightswitch.” Empaths are sensitive people that can pick up on everyone else’s energy. Chronic people-pleasers will have to do some inner work first to change their ways. Life is not linear. It’s more like a spiral.   Rev. Stephanie's Site: https://www.bluestartemple.org/ Rev.

Eileen and I talk about the power of intentionally declaring good health into your life and more!   Key Takeaways: Declare good into your life with enthusiasm and unyielding resolve.   Our words have power and we sometimes need to go through a word detox.   We are all connected in some way.   The right people will show up in your life when you are determined and focused on a purposeful goal.   Assertiveness is not being aggressive.

Pitocco. Dennis and I talk about his pilgrimage down the Camino de Santiago and the power of having a “Disconnect Bucket List”.   Key Takeaways: A strong “why” that’s not about you can push you further forward. A long, peaceful walk will clear your thinking.

“Be here now.” - Rev. Dr.Jane Galloway Today’s featured bestselling author is former Broadway actress, minister and visionary leader, Rev. Dr. Jane Galloway. Dr. Jane and I talk about how she became a minister in an AME church, her chaos to clarity experience and more!!!   Key Takeaways: “We should all continue to evolve.” Many people come into spiritual communities for all kinds of reasons and most of the time it’s not for seeking a spiritual path. Branding yourself is important because people decide within the 1st 2 minutes of an interview or an audition if they want to work with you. “We can only live in the moment.” “We have no control over other people’s perceptions of us.” Operate by attraction and not promotion. Wisdom resides in the now. Age doesn’t define your level of contribution to society.   Dr. Jane’s Site: https://www.janegalloway.com/     Pre-Order a copy of the above book, “Chaos to Clarity” Here: https://sacredstoriespublishing.com/#!/chaos-to-clarity   The opening track for this episode is titled "The Light" by Asis Galvin.

Dr. Ken and I talk about his newest book, the power of operating with integrity and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Exercise is the best antidepressant.   “Every single person has an opinion but very few people have wisdom.”   Purpose and passion help people push through and to be resilient.   Coming from a place of victimhood is not a powerful place to be.   All of us have stories that can help take others to the next level, no matter how old you are.   Age brings insight, wisdom, and maturity.   Along with a healthy diet of real food, have the mindset to not participate with illnesses like the flu.   Living on purpose allows you to bring your highest level of contribution.   “Operate with integrity.”   Corruption is the #1 contributor to poverty.   “Life leaves clues.”   Special FREE Gift from Dr. Ken: https://kenkeis.com/north   Dr. Ken's Podcast, Secrets of Success TM: https://soundcloud.com/crgleader/going-north-tips-techniques-to-advance-yourself-dominique-brightmon The opening track is titled, "Pure White Field (SfEX2)" by Rukunetsu aka Project R.

Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.   Today's featured award-winning author is community activist and small group facilitator, Nelson Brown. Nelson and I talk about his upcoming book projects, dealing with negative feedback and more!   Key Takeaways: Network as much as you possibly can with others.    Appreciate your small accomplishments.   Poetry can take you into another universe.   Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.   When you are going through depressing times and don’t accept professional help, you are doing yourself and your loved ones a disservice.   Not everyone will understand your vision.   There is nothing wrong with going to therapy to talk about your issues.   Successful people don’t have time for criticizing others and spreading negativity.   Nelson's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Us-Our-Reality-1/dp/1718751907    The opening track is titled, "Improve Yourself More" by Rukunetsu aka Project R.

“Action leads to action.” - John Willkom   Today's featured bestselling author is a business leader and former Division 1 basketball player at Marquette University, John Willkom. John and I talk about his book, his basketball camp "Playmakers Basketball" and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: The best part about sharing an intimate story in written form is the reaction you get from total strangers.   A lot of young people are looking for mentors and a lot of adults are looking to share their wisdom.   Fear will not paralyze you if you take action.   Authorship is a journey and will test your skillset.   Take pride in what you produce. Especially when you enhance it after receiving constructive feedback.   You don’t have to wait to share your gift.   Have a vision for your life paired with a strong belief that it will happen.   Stay connected to your passion.   John's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Walk-Warrior-Drive-Discipline-Will-ebook/dp/B07HXSB2YC   The opening track is called "Aqua & Trees Type R" by Rukunetsu AKA Project R.

“I traded my addiction for an obsession and I got obsessed with God.” - Martrey Stevens   Today's featured author is fellow motivational speaker Martrey Stevens. Martrey and I talk about his upcoming book, overcoming alcoholism and creating the next leader through serving the youth.   Key Takeaways: It’s all about sharing our stories.   If you want to get on the speaking circuit, start being transparent.   “There’s no story like your story.”   Tell your story and tell it fully.   “Own your story and tell it.”   “Life doesn’t stop when your life ends.”   “When you inflict pain on yourself, you’re inflicting pain on everybody that loves you.”   There’s always room for improvement.   Martrey's Site: https://sites.google.com/site/newbedfordbedford/new-bedford/Hoops-Kid?authuser=0   The opening track is titled "Strike Strong" by Asis Galvin.

“You can’t outrun a bad diet.” - Rachel LaJoie   Today's featured author is fellow speaker and holistic health coach, Rachel LaJoie. Rachel and I talk about her book, self-love, and more!!!   Key Takeaways: Living the life you love involves not eating for emotional wellness. Be aware of what you are saying about and to yourself. People already know what not to eat. Speak with intention and awareness. Give away bonsai trees instead of participation trophies.

Scott and I talk about his new book, the art of emulation and more!!!   Key Takeaways: Immersion is great for learning new languages but ultra-immersion is an easier and quicker method to learn a new language.

“Don’t go away from here without telling your story.” - DeWayne Foote   Today's featured author is spoken word artist and plumber, DeWayne Foote. DeWayne and I talk about his upbringing that taught him to ask boldly as well as what helped him become a spoken word artist.   Key Takeaways:  When you transform into a writer, it opens yourself up for other avenues. “The more I wrote, the better I felt.” Some parts of your character are ticked away until the right catalyst appears. Everyone needs a dose of reality. The dose is sometimes painful but necessary. Understand your audience and your cadence as a spoken word artist.   DeWayne's Book: https://www.amazon.com/ManTality-DeWayne-Foote-ebook/dp/B07467MJ9Q   The opening track is titled "King's Theme" by Asis Galvin.

“We have forgotten that we’re a part of nature.” - Miguel Dean Today's featured author is fellow podcaster and holder of sacred space, Miguel Dean. Miguel and I talk about his latest book, "Bring Him Home" and the forgotten masculine energy known as the sacred masculine. Key Takeaways: Relationships are deep conscious work. There’s a better version of masculinity that’s been lost in recent years. We are all living different versions of the same story of dealing with difficult challenges. Becoming a better version of yourself cannot be fully done in isolation. “Money comes and goes but time just goes.” Conscious relationships will bring things that are not of love into the open to be transformed. Vulnerability allows you to connect with more people. What does the best version of yourself look like? Change is always an inside job. Allow time for stillness in your life. Miguel's Site: https://www.migueldean.net/ Miguel's New Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1945026545/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=bring+him+home+miguel+dean&qid=1556842828&s=books&sr=1-1-fkmrnull The opening track is titled "True Victory (Remix)" by Asis Galvin.

“Your breathing is a way to make your mind bulletproof.” - Rajshree Patel    Today's featured bestselling author is fellow speaker, self-awareness coach, and mind & meditation expert, Rajshree Patel. Rajshree and I talk about her journey of becoming a transformational coach along with some of the tips that she uses to help Fortune 500 CEO's and legendary organizations like Amazon and Harvard University.   Key Takeaways: Remaining curious is a gift. Sleeping is supposed to be a natural thing. Don’t forget how to be human. Find ways to amuse yourself. Most people are in their head than actually taking action. Mobilize your energy to do what you want, not to think without taking action. Breathe consciously. Never wait too long to figure it all out. Most people with success figure it out while taking action.   Rajshree's Book & Free Gift: https://www.rajshreepatel.com/#special-offer    Rajshree's Site: https://www.rajshreepatel.com/   A special shoutout goes to MagicMusicX (@magicmusicx) for his track "Deep In Thought".

“Trying is just a waste of time. Doing is totally valuable.” - Lori Ann Spagna   Today's featured bestselling author is fellow speaker, lightworker, and animal communicator, Lori Spagna. Lori and I talk about her journey of becoming a skilled communicator in multiple realms, enhancing your awareness and tons more to create your BLE (best life ever)!   Key Takeaways: Suicide will not bring you bliss. Brain matter exists in both the heart and the gut. Meditation and breathwork are imperative to enhanced consciousness. The deeper you go within yourself the greater the access you have to your gifts. Have more fun. Eliminate the things in your life that you do not love and that does you no good. Paying your bills on time and honoring your agreements is an act of integrity. Find your purpose, know your purpose and stay on purpose.   Lori's Site: https://lorispagna.com/   Lori's Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=lori+spagna&sprefix=lori+sp%2Caps%2C338&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_7 A special shoutout goes to MagicMusicX (@magicmusicx) for his track "Galaxy Showdown".

“Your life is a reflection of how you think and where you are focused.” - Kim Ades   Today's featured author is fellow coach, podcast host, and supermom of 5 kids, Kim Ades. Kim and I talk about shifting your thoughts, the power of her quirky coaching style and the benefits of journaling.   Key Takeaways: Thinking impacts outcomes. Journaling is part of Kim’s coaching style to help her clients get traction. Using a journal helps you to think things through. A coach is a person that wakes people up and helps them realize their potential. How can you use your thinking to turn a bad situation into a benefit? Describe your dream destination and journal ideas on ways to get there. Be clear about what you don’t want in life. Pay attention more often to the things that work. Great leaders are resourceful, challenge their own beliefs, and focus on what they really want. “Don’t attach your happiness to somebody else’s behavior.” Let people be who they are and your happiness be based on the way you think. Ask yourself, how is my thinking getting in the way of my potential? Make your thinking align with where you want it to be. Learn to interpret your negative experiences into wisdom for another day. Focus more on the things that are gifts in your life instead of focusing on frustrations.     Kim's Book: https://www.amazon.com/What-You-Focus-Grows-Stories-ebook/dp/B07SFZ83WL/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_title_sr?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1568602117&sr=8-1   Kim's Site: https://www.frameofmindcoaching.com/   Kim's Podcast: https://www.frameofmindcoaching.com/the-frame-of-mind-coaching-podcast/   The opening track is titled, "Don't You" from The Solar Mixtape by Asis Galvin.

Always seek to be in a room where you are not the smartest so your knowledge and experience can expand.   Today's featured bestselling author is fellow podcaster, entrepreneur and speaker, Paul Edwards. Paul and I talk about his book, effectively connecting with others on a deeper level and more!   Key Takeaways: Create your own networking group that’s not branded as a networking group. Like organizing a game of cards at a cigar lounge. Commit the following three questions to memory when approaching others.     - What’s going well for you in business lately?     - What’s not going well in business for you now?     - What are you looking forward to? The above questions help you to go beyond fact-finding to feeling finding. A lot of people want pain relief. A consistent sleep routine helps you have optimal health. Be a magnet and not a pusher. Recognize people who are good at what they do. Especially in public. You can make money by connecting people.   Paul's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Business-Beyond-Meaningful-Connection-Entrepreneur/dp/1072236966/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1568345902&sr=1-3   Paul's New Site: https://www.thepaulsedwards.com      Related Episodes:   106.5 - "Work Your Vision & Build a Brand" with Dr. Eric Holmes (@DrEricholmes1): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/1065-work-your-vision-build-a-brand-with-dr-eric-holmes-drericholmes1   147 - "The Connector's Advantage" with Michelle Tillis Lederman (@mtlederman): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/147-the-connectors-advantage-with-michelle-tillis-lederman-mtlederman Host 2 Host Special - "Faith, Reinvention & Biblical Character Development" with Bob Thibodeau (@bob_thibodeau): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/host-2-host-special-faith-reinvention-biblical-character-development-with-bob-thibodeau-bob_thibodeau    

“Know what you don’t know and figure out how to get it.” - Kenneth Aldrich   Todays featured bestselling author is serial entrepreneur and funder of seed-stage companies, Kenneth Aldrich. Ken and I talk about his book, the power of language and more!   Key Takeaways: The degree may get you your first job but the rest of your career will depend on your knowledge and work ethic. “You don’t know what in somebody else’s life will turn out to be inspirational for you.” Train your mind to see yourself as successful and do it regularly. The fear of failure is one of the biggest deterrents to taking intentional action. Don’t let fear cheat you out of success. One question to ask yourself is “What’s the absolute worst thing that could happen if this doesn’t turn out well?” Most times the answer to the above question may not mean much besides lost time, money and possible embarrassment. If you have great relationships that can help you overcome most of these. With new endeavors, you will either succeed or learn. It’s all about how you look at life’s challenges. Persuasive language is one of the most powerful skills to have in your arsenal. Learn to use your language well in written and verbal form. “Procrastination is the thief of life.” Procrastination is born in fear. Always set new goals after achieving past goals. Most of us don’t dream big enough.   Ken's Site: https://www.dreamtoolbox.com/kenneth-aldrich   Ken's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Toolbox-Entrepreneurial-Financial-Abundance-ebook/dp/B07R5896T5/   The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

“You can’t call something a distraction unless you know what it’s distracting you from” - Nir Eyal   Today's featured Wall Street Journal bestselling author is speaker, consultant, and active investor in habit-forming technologies, Nir Eyal. Nir & I  talk about his newest book, ways to combat distractions and more!   Key Takeaways: The root cause of all distractions starts from within all of us. “Time management is pain management.” “If you don’t plan your day, someone else is going to plan it for you.” Know how to use technology to benefit you instead of inflating you.

Keep yourself mentally balanced.     Dwayne's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dwayne-Jenkins/e/B07T4KC857?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1566318031&sr=1-3   IG: @LeDwayneJenkins Twitter: @LeDwayneJenkins  FaceBook: Dwayne Jenkins   The opening track is titled, "The Dark Knight" by Asis Galvin.

Be mindful of your passion, purpose and promise.   Today's featured author is certified professional coach and retired FBI unicorn, Dr.  Rhonda Glover. Dr. Rhonda and I talk about her new career since retiring from the FBI, having a growth mindset and more!   Key Takeaways: Always be careful about the words you speak. Especially with the youth.   Think about retirement as soon as you start your career because it comes by fast.   Getting in your own way slows you down.   It pays to be mindful and clear on what you want to do.   Be a forward thinker.   Success lies in having a spiritual foundation.   “Get ready to be ready.”   Always be in a position of learning.     Dr. Rhonda's Site: https://rhondamglover.com/   Dr. Rhonda's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-Fear-Powerful-Lessons-Living/dp/099957342X/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1566372083&refinements=p_27%3ARhonda+Glover&s=books&sr=1-1&text=Rhonda+Glover   The opening track is titled, "Oni Kazumi R-Mix" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

“The world has a weird way of introducing you to individuals.” - David Ritz   Today's featured bestselling & award-winning author is ghostwriter, biographer, and lyricist, David Ritz. David and I talk about selling yourself and how he became a ghostwriter for Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Grandmaster Flash and tons more!   Key Takeaways: Ghostwriting is sort of like acting because you are playing the role of another person but through writing.   Every book is a different challenge because it’s a different character.   Never let rejection paralyze you from getting your work published.   A ghostwriter’s job is to listen. Listen to make a living.   Selling is something you can like when you believe in what you’re selling.   A ghostwriter should write the book that they want to read and not the book they want to write.   “Don’t go crazy and try to make a living.”   David's Book: https://www.amazon.com/God-Groove-Blues-Journey-Faith/dp/150117715X   David's Site: http://ritzwrites.com/home.html    A special shout out goes to Marcus D (@marcusd) for his track, "Morning Light" from the Melancholy Prequel (Redux).

“Powerful writing is fundamental to successful businesses.” - Carla D. Bass   Today's featured award-winning author is highly acclaimed speaker and retired Colonel of the USAF, Carla D. Bass. Carla and I talk about her newly expanded book, seeing writing in a different way and taking the hybrid publisher route to complete her book.    Key Takeaways: “Powerful writing changes lives.” Readers appreciate those who get to the point. Especially when they are emails. Always proofread your written work with your own eyes and never completely rely on autocorrect features. Everyone can benefit from tightening up their writing and making it more persuasive. “Writing is a scavenger hunt.” “If it’s in your soul go for it.”   Carla's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Write-Influence-Appraisals-Scholarships-Internships/dp/0997593024/ Carla's Site: https://writetoinfluence.net/   The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

“Mental health is just as important as physical health.” - Michelle Dickinson   Today's featured author is fellow inspirational speaker, empathic leader, and difference-maker, Michelle Dickinson. Michelle and I talk about her book, the writing process for it and looking at mental illness from a different lens.   Key Takeaways: It all starts with kids having healthy minds. The brain is an organ and just like any other body part you get support for. We have the power to create our future regardless of our past. Rough beginnings teach you resilience. Be committed to vividly telling your story when sharing it. “Speak up. Take care of yourself. Make yourself a priority.”     Michelle's Site: http://breakingintomylife.com/   Michelle's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079MGLXDR/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0   The opening track is titled, "A Beautiful Heroine" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

"Avoid cheap drama.” - Riana Milne   Today's featured bestselling author is Global Certified Life & Love Coach, educational speaker, Certified Trauma and Addictions Professional, Psychotherapist and fellow podcast host, Riana Milne. Riana and I talk about why 9 out of 10 people struggle in life and love. There's a bonus gift below if you want more to compliment what you heard in this episode.   *Free Gift for the Northbound Success Community from Riana: www.HavetheLoveYouDeserve.com *   Key Takeaways:   Avoid the trap of “same person different face”. Life is too short to tolerate a toxic relationship. Trauma stays stored in the body and the brain until you become aware of it. Childhood trauma is generational and is known for being around for at least 3 generations. Some people lie too much because they used lying as a survival tool when they were a kid. When you are in a relationship with your significant other, have the mentality of “It’s us against the world”. Always cherish your partner and make them feel safe. Have a fulfilling individual life before seeking a partner.   Riana's Site: RianaMilne.com        Riana's App: http://bit.ly/RianaMilneApp   Riana's Virtual Coaching: The Life & Love Training Academy   Riana's Podcast: Lessons in Life & Love Podcast      The opening track is titled, "Heartbreaking Heartbeat" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

“In order for things to change there has to be disruption.” - Kerri Hummingbird   Today's featured award-winning bestselling author is a fellow podcaster, shamanic healer and warrior goddess facilitator, Kerri Hummingbird. Kerri and I have a fun chat about her new book, how divine direction led her to become an award-winning author and a game of cucumber summoning. :)   Key Takeaways: Find your sweet spot and own it! Help others to activate their purpose. Singing activates your heart, voice, and can be a form of prayer. Some books are meant to be written according to spiritual timing. People love it when you share from your heart when you are telling personal stories.   Kerri's Site: https://kerrihummingbird.com/ The Second Wave Book: https://www.thesecondwave.media/welcome Kerri's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Kerri-Hummingbird-Sami/e/B00FL0X5VK/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1   The opening track is called "Awakening" by Marcus D.

“Enjoy the journey and don’t be summit obsessed.” - Amy Simpkins    Today's featured author is innovation catalyst, MIT-trained engineer, speaker and the "Queen of Big Ideas", Amy Simpkins. Amy and I talk about her book, growing through change and tons more!!   Key Takeaways: Constant learning keeps life interesting. What’s important to you now may not be important to you in a different phase of your life. “I think big thoughts.” Spend some time in the confusion phase to get to the solution phase. “All parenting is chaos.” Who do you want to be? Contrary to popular opinion, some engineers love hugs. It’s okay not to know when starting out and seeking to become more innovative. We need to allow ourselves to grow through change.   Amy's Site: http://www.amysimpkins.com/ Amy's Book: http://www.amysimpkins.com/spiralbook/ Amy's Energy Company -"Mugrid Analytics": http://mugrid.com/   A special shoutout goes to MagicMusicX (@magicmusicx) for his track "Computer Room".

“I’m always looking for what can I learn next.” - Clyde Middleton   Today's featured author is active Toastmaster, John Maxwell Team Certified Coach, Teacher, and Speaker, Clyde A. Middleton. Clyde and I talk about his new book and the power of believing in the right words.   Key Takeaways: Waking up on this side of the grass is a good day. Never let someone else’s opinion guide the rest of your life. Someone else’s opinion of me doesn’t define you. We are luckier than we think we are. If you want to grow you have to change your environment. One big decision in your life can make a major difference in your life. Attitude is everything and it determines how we far get in life. You can accomplish anything if you are willing to pay the price. Have a gratitude mindset.   Clyde's Site: https://clydemiddleton.com/    Clyde's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Lessons-Trailer-Park-Everyone/dp/0578507218   Related Episodes:   14 - "Reach Your Mountaintop" Jeff Davis (@JeffDavis027): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-14-jeff-davis-jeffdavis027 21 - "How to Get Your DTM Award As Fast as Possible" with John Comberiate (@jccomber): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/21-how-to-get-your-dtm-award-as-fast-as-possible-with-john-comberiate-jccomber 28 - The Wright Thought with Luke Wright (@Lukemotivates): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/28-the-wright-thought-with-luke-wright-lukemotivates Super Special Awesome Leadership Episode with Chris Jordan (@cjjordan76): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/super-special-awesome-leadership-episode-with-chris-jordan-cjjordan76 84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge  91 - "Inverted Leadership" with Joel Hawbaker (@RealLifeLeading): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/91-inverted-leadership-with-joel-hawbaker-reallifeleading  99 - "Leader By Choice" with Andres Valdes (@IamAndresValdes): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/99-leader-by-choice-with-andres-valdes-iamandresvaldes    Host 2 Host Special - "Faith, Reinvention & Biblical Character Development" with Bob Thibodeau (@bob_thibodeau): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/host-2-host-special-faith-reinvention-biblical-character-development-with-bob-thibodeau-bob_thibodeau         

“Control your emotions or they will be controlled for you.” - Rashad "Bowtie" Mills   Today's featured author is licensed therapist, broadcast journalist, radio host and motivational speaker, Rashad "Bowtie" Mills. Rashad and I talk about his new book, the story behind it and lessons he learned from 101 days of extreme self-development.   Key Takeaways: You always have to invest and re-invest in your book after it’s published. Some things are meant to happen in their own time. The book you intend to write may end up as a different book that others may need to read. Growth is possible for everyone. An educated man of color has a higher chance of going to jail once they are in court because of your status as a successful and educated black man. You are more resilient than you believe and your moments of “hell” help you discover it when you overcome it. Don’t be stuck on your past so much that you don’t move forward to a bigger future.   Rashad's Site: http://rashadmills.com/ Rashad's Book: https://rashadmills.square.site/s/shop   The opening track is titled, "Ragtown" by madxruler (formally known as Ruler Inc.)
