“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. Think of self-love as an action. “You are 100% worth it.”   Rachel's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Life-Lose-Weight-ebook/dp/B07CSYNVJP/ref=zg_bs_8917486011_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8Z54SPDENNFTKMJEAGMG   Rachel's Site: http://yourmindbodyjoy.com/     The opening track is titled "Kyotoelectric" by Project R (AKA Rukunetsu).

“The greatest coaches have coaches.” - Jennifer Glass   Today's featured award-winning author is business growth expert and marketing expert, Jennifer Glass. Jen and I talk about her latest book, consumer psychology and more!!!   Key Takeaways: The joint venture strategy is one of the most overlooked ways of gaining new business.   Be so good at what you do that you have ambassadors for your business.   Digital marketing is a must as a business owner.   Folks are more likely to buy from your email list than your social media channel.   “You have a voice.

Avoid becoming a passive consumer and become a proactive emulator.   Today's featured bestselling author is fellow podcast host and TEDx speaker, Scott H. Young. 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. The point of learning a language is to communicate with people. Don’t let past approaches hinder you from doing something new. Great writers read a lot. Study and model those you respect.   Scott's Site: https://www.scotthyoung.com/ Scott's Book: https://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/ultralearning/   The opening track is titled, "Full Grip-(Ridge Racer PS Vita Concept)" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).  To cop this track, tap on the following link. https://soundcloud.com/rukunetsu/full-grip-ridge-racer    Related Episodes: 179 - "Indistractable" with Nir Eyal (@nireyal): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/179-indistractable-with-nir-eyal-nireyal   175 - "10 Commandments of Self Improvement" with David Riklan (@SelfGrowthNow): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/175-10-commandments-of-self-improvement-with-david-riklan-selfgrowthnow   138 - "Leadership Advice From a CEO" (@realNateHirsch): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/138-leadership-advice-from-a-ceo-realnatehirsch   136 - "Leadership Development" with Kevin Wayne Johnson (@Writing4theLord): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/136-leadership-development-with-kevin-wayne-johnson-writing4thelord   72 - "A Sprint to the Top" with Daniel Blanchard (@dan007blanchard): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/72-a-sprint-to-the-top-with-danial-blanchard-dan007blanchard

“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.

Be the person that becomes indistractable not the person who lets their attention and behavior be controlled by others. “If something is doing, it’s worth putting on your schedule.”   Gifts From Nir:   Schedule Maker Tool: https://nirandfar.com/schedule-maker/   Distraction Guide: https://www.nirandfar.com/distractions/   The opening track is titled HIRAMEKI-Mirai-未来 by Rukunetsu AKA Project R.

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.

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.)

“Motivation is very temporal.” - Treveal Lynch   Today's featured author is minister and personal trainer, Treveal CW Lynch. Treveal and I have a deep conversation about his newest book, the power of words and more!!!   Key Takeaways:   See yourself as a great contribution to society. Get actual rest. Comparisons are what you believe what you don’t have. True happiness lies within you and not things. Happiness is what people understand but self-satisfaction is what we truly desire. One thing you say may mean everything to one person because our words have power. Your encouragement may help someone change their life for the better. “Our very lives are a contribution.” “Live your best existence for you.”   Treveal's Site: https://www.iamthepossible.com/ Treveal's Books: https://www.amazon.com/WHAT-Enough-Lighten-Makes-Happy-ebook/dp/B07RKYLJH6/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1558503273&refinements=p_27%3ATreveal+Lynch&s=digital-text&sr=1-1&text=Treveal+Lynch   The opening song for this episode is titled, "Faith" by Marcus D.

If you haven’t failed in 6-months, then you are not risking.   Today's featured bestselling author is success coach, acclaimed keynote speaker, and USMC veteran, Michael Botts. Michael and I have a great chat about success, giving yourself permission to feel bad for a moment and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways:   Adapt and overcome. This fundamental military principle is a necessity for those looking to be successful in business.   Veterans should never forget what they overcame on the battlefield and apply it to civilian livelihood to amplify their self-confidence.   Allow yourself to feel bad temporarily but with the intention of eventually feeling good again afterward.   “Success and failure are twins.” Risk, fail and learn. don't forget about the learning part!   Master the fundamentals of your industry.   “Embrace small beginnings.”   “Failure is your friend."   “Success is simple, success is boring and success is very achievable.”   Michael's Site: https://www.themichaelbottsexperience.com/    Michael's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1728839939/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=tmbex-20&linkId=4cfef9e8a97735eefa69806bbcf36e0b&language=en_US      Related Episodes: 28 - The Wright Thought with Luke Wright (@Lukemotivates): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/28-the-wright-thought-with-luke-wright-lukemotivates   45 - "From the Incubator to the Kingdom" with Dr. Duane Mangum (@i_blend1): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/45-from-the-incubator-to-the-kingdom-with-dr-duane-mangum-i_blend1   84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge   The opening track is titled "Just Like Cap" by Asis Galvin.

Life rewards those who serve from their heart with focus.   Today's featured bestselling author is TEDx speaker and transformational teacher, Teo Alfero. Teo and I talk about his newest book, how he founded the Wolf Connection sanctuary and tons more!!   Key Takeaways: Follow your passion and serve with excellence to gain more than expected out of life. Teo gained a family by starting the Wolf Connection sanctuary. We put too much pressure on ourselves to know everything. Animals (especially wolves) can help humans have better moods. Some stories are so powerful that they must be told.   Teo's Site: https://www.teoalfero.com/   Teo's Book: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1501193163?tag=simonsayscom    Teo's TEDx Talks:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1wSXYkHZFs (2014) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQgfdZJ-l6w (2015)   Related Episode:   87 - "Belief" with Helen Brennand (@belief444): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/87-belief-with-helen-brennand     This week's opening track is titled "Urgent Advance - METAL GEAR 2 Q-MIX" by Rukunetsu AKA Project R.

“There’s a difference between paying your dues and being abused.” - Kevin Sampson   Today's featured author and fellow podcast host is film critic, film director, and festival director, Kevin Sampson. Kevin and I have a fun chat about how he became a film critic, what made him start a film festival for people of color and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Get as much experience as you can when you start out in anything. Especially if it’s film school.   “Know where you want to be and then study how to get there.”   Video is in high demand for staying relevant on social media.   “There’s a difference between paying your dues and being abused.”   Shoot weddings, promo spots and or commercials for companies can be income streams for those in film school looking to make extra money.   Absorb and initiate.   “Take risks but enjoy every moment.”   Kevin's Site: http://picturelockshow.com/ Kevin's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Army-One-Marketing-Indie-Filmmaker-ebook/dp/B07SSQSFPR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=59RRY84Z8EUZ&keywords=kevin+sampson&qid=1562863250&s=gateway&sprefix=kevin+sampso%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1     The opening track is titled "Shine Bros.

Sandra and I talk about her upbringing, the PLATINUM life and tons more!    Key Takeaways: Our conscious mind runs 5% of the time. Our unconscious mind runs the other 95%.

Jenn and I have a wonderful chat about those who inspired her to be a confident lady, how running has helped her live with passion and tons more!   Key Takeaways:   Pausing to look backward is a good thing.   We always have to be careful of the words we speak.   A lot of entrepreneurs build their businesses from a place of struggle.   Running is good for your emotional and physical well-being.   Start your blog or project today so others will be inspired tomorrow   “Embrace yourself and run with it.”   Jenn's Site: https://www.momof18.com/ Jenn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Hello-My-Name-Warrior-Princess/dp/0996136533/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1490114894&sr=1-1&keywords=hello+my+name+is.....+jenn+taylor   The opening track is titled, "A Beautiful Heroine" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).

Alzheimer’s is a lifestyle type of disease that’s preventable.   Today's returning guest on the Going North Podcast is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, award-winning author, workshop leader and multi-time Gold Medalist California State Senior Olympics, Rico Caveglia. Rico and I talk about his newest ebook that talks about promoting a healthy brain.   Key Takeaways: Have a wellness plan that includes good brain health.   Sitting too much causes a loss of mobility over time.   Our brain is just another organ in our body so what’s good for your body is also good for your brain.   A lack of sleep contributes to an unhealthy brain.   Keep your brain stimulated.   A healthy nutritional diet contributes to a healthy brain.   Everyone knows that they have to stay hydrated but are they actually drinking water.   “Sitting is the new smoking.”   Keep moving throughout your day.   “If you live with the news, you live with the blues.”     Rico's Book's: https://www.amazon.com/Rico-Caveglia/e/B00IVHDL9G/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1    Rico's Site: http://www.agelesslivinglifestyle.com/    Related Episodes:    94 - "Be Bold, Never Old!" with Rico Caveglia: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/94-be-bold-never-old-with-rico-caveglia   6 - "Eat to Thrive" with Katie Sampayo @katie_sampayo: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-6-eat-to-thrive-with-katie-sampayo-katie_sampayo   58 - "Top Keys for Weight Loss" with Christy Callahan Cromwell (@ChristyCromwel1): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/58-top-keys-for-weight-loss-with-christy-callahan-cromwell   75 - "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't Have To" with Julie Potiker (@JuliePotiker): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/75-life-falls-apart-but-you-dont-have-to-with-julie-potiker-juliepotiker   97.5 (Thanksgiving Bonus Episode) - "MindShift On Demand" with Donna Blevins (@BigGirlPoker): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/975-thanksgiving-bonus-episode-mindshift-on-demand-with-donna-blevins-biggirlpoker   108 - "The Holy Sh!t Moment" with James Fell (@BodyForWife): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/108-the-holy-sht-moment-with-james-fell-bodyforwife   The opening track is titled, "Uncommon Sense" by Rukunetsu aka Project R.

Interrupted focus leads to a lower quality of work.   Today's featured bestselling author is Hall of Fame speaker, one of the top 3 communicators in the world and professional development legend, Dianna Booher. Dianna and I talk about her newest book "Faster, fewer, Better Emails", advice she would give to her younger self and more!   Key Takeaways:   Using “Reply All” inappropriately adds more unnecessary emails to everyone else’s inboxes. Constantly responding to emails interrupts your thinking. Check your email at least 2-3 times a day instead of every hour. Build your personal brand by writing and publishing a book with a traditional publisher. People spend an average of 2-3 hours daily on email. “Don’t let email sap your productivity.”   Dianna's New Book: https://booherresearch.com/books/faster-fewer-better-emails/ Dianna's Site: https://booherresearch.com/   Related Episodes: 7 - "Teacher to Pro Speaker" with Robert Kennedy III (@robertkennedy3): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-7-teacher-to-pro-speaker-with-robert-kennedy-iii-robertkennedy3    8 - "Gain the Advantage" with Nancy Gaines (@NancyLGaines): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-8-nancy-gaines-nancylgaines   22 - "Empower Thyself" with Anne Alston (@Alstntec): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/22-empower-thyself-with-anne-alston-alstntec   136 - "Leadership Development" with Kevin Wayne Johnson (@Writing4theLord): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/136-leadership-development-with-kevin-wayne-johnson-writing4thelord

“Do you want to control your life or do you want your fears to control your life?” – Allan Misch   Today's featured authors are communication experts and seminar leaders, Allan Kaufman, DTM & Allan Misch, DTM. Allan & Allan dive into ways to develop yourself into a better public speaker, what happens to those who don't confront their public speaking fear and tons more!!    Key Takeaways: “No one is born a public speaker. It’s a learned skill.” – Allan Kaufman Public speaking helps you to stand out, get promoted and gain more customers. Attending regular Toastmasters meetings is one way to practice and develop your presentation skills. Hiring a coach will amplify and advance your skills at a rapid rate. Don’t let fear, especially the fear of public speaking hold you back from advancing your career or business. There are 2 parts to overcoming public speaking fear. Developing your skills and finding the root cause of your fear that may be holding you back. A speaker should always know their audience. A speaker must have the main takeaway for their audience to receive from their message. Always be willing to confront your fears. “Communication is probably the most important thing that you do in your life.” – Allan Misch Always seek feedback. Doing something the same way without feedback doesn’t help your growth.    Allan & Allan's Books: https://www.amazon.com/Allan-Kaufman/e/B00E2YA46K?ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vu00_tkin_p1_i1  Allan & Allan's Website: nosweatspeaking.com    Email Allan Kaufman at [email protected] if you want to invest in 5-hours of individualized and customized presentation coaching for the special price of $797.

“What might look bad today is going to be a gift tomorrow.” - Phyllis Ginsberg, M.A., MFT   Today's featured author is therapist and Survival to Thrival Expert, Phyllis Ginsberg, M.A., MFT. Phyllis and I talk about the benefits of positive psychology, how to get a good night's rest and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Do your thinking on paper when you are thinking about what you need to do and where you need to be the following day.   During your reflection time before going to the bed, set the intention of your night by writing down 3 good things that happened to you that day.   4 days of lacking sleep leads to bad decision making, food cravings, and lack of resilience.   85 % of all illnesses have an emotional component.   Over 70 million people suffer from anxiety disorders. Which are thought disorders that can be shifted through positive psychology.   “You only know what you know.”   “The human brain was designed for survival.”   Don’t just survive in life but also enjoy it.   Phyllis' Site: https://www.phyllisginsberg.com/  Phyllis' Books: https://www.phyllisginsberg.com/books/    Related Episodes:   35 - "Women Who Ignite" with Donna N.
