"Hi! I’m Genevieve—but you can call me Gen. I’m a daughter, sister, mother, and wife. I’m also a book nerd, nature lover, traveler, adventure seeker, activist, actress, and aspiring urban homesteader.Ready for the Cliff’s Notes version? I was born and raised in the Bay Area until a family vacation turned into a life-changing move to the mountains of Montana, followed by a sunny valley in Idaho—which I now consider my hometown. I left the wild west to study acting at NYU, then made a pit stop in Los Angeles before landing in Albuquerque after I was cast in my first TV show called Wildfire on ABC Family. A few more moves and TV shows later, I found a home in Austin, Texas where I now live with my husband, three kids, 2 dogs, 14 chickens, and a hive of honeybees.I try to live curiously and love to share cool things I discover and the inspiring people I meet along the way. Sometimes it’s a dry shampoo that’s good on a hiking trip (like that time we hiked Machu Picchu), a good book that’s helpful for parenting, a pair of great shoes that I think are special, or unexpected things that make life a little bit sweeter. Other days I might share stories about our crazy life and family adventures that I hope you find inspiring (or at least amusing). When it comes to being a mom, or a wife, or simply a human being…we’re all doing the best we can. No mom or person has it “all figured out,” (I certainly don’t!) so I hope we can encourage and root for one another as we learn along the way.I’ll be sharing and checking in weekly, so make sure to subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know when new posts are live! You can also follow me on Instagram at @NowandGen. Thank you so much for being here, I look forward to hanging out together. Feel free to drop a comment or two, because this blog was created as a place for us to connect and inspire one another.In addition to this success, she recently reprised her role as ‘Ruby’ for the fifteenth and final season of SUPERNATURAL starring opposite her real life husband, Jared Padalecki. As discussed, she also stars opposite Jared in WALKER, which is making waves over at The CW. The full-time mom and urban homesteader can really do it all!"

RICH FRESH BIOPatrick Henry, known professionally as “Fresh”, is the founder and creative director of LA-based luxury fashion label Richfresh. Established in 2018, Richfresh has quickly skyrocketed to being the beloved brand of Hollywood’s directors, actors, and athletes. At the age of 21, shortly after dropping out of college, Fresh opened a tailoring shop in the burgeoning art district of downtown Memphis, TN. Struggling to realize his potential in Memphis, he moved to New York City to further pursue tailoring. After the market crash, Fresh left New York and moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to work for Ermenegildo Zegna. During his time at Zegna, he became the preferred associate for many high-profile clients due to his unique aesthetic and stand-out personality. Fresh then made the move to LA, where hard times then struck. By the end of 2017, Fresh was homeless and living in a shelter. But with sheer grit, determination, and brilliance, Fresh branched into making his own designs and cleverly branded himself as a “celebrity tailor”, without even having any celebrity clients. His work spoke for itself though, and A-listers quickly pounced at the chance to have bespoke suits created by Fresh. Fresh left the shelter with $300 in his pocket and without any investments or loans, he turned that $300 into $1 million within a year of leaving the homeless shelter. Having over a decade of luxury tailoring experience and being a keen student of color and color psychology, Fresh conceived his aesthetic and created the brand Richfresh. The concept is unique - bespoke tailoring with a brand aesthetic. With precise tailoring, comfort, and the unique use of color, double stripes, and the famous yellow tab as its hallmarks, Richfresh has become a name celebrated amongst Hollywood and the elite. Fans of the brand now include The Weeknd and his iconic red suit designed by Fresh, John Legend, Billy Porter, Dwayne Wade, Gabrielle Union, Lena Waithe, Blake Griffin, Rick Ross, and more. Website: www.richfresh.comInstagram: @Richfresh  HENRY MASK BIOPivoting to meet the new demands and constraints of the world during COVID-19, Richfresh founder Patrick Henry (AKA Fresh) and business partner Chase Morgan founded Henry Mask in April 2020. As COVID-19 gripped America and global medical supplies and face masks ran low, there was no way of obtaining more of what was desperately needed. There were simply not enough manufacturers in the US to meet the demand. Fresh and Chase put their heads together and sought ways they could step up and put their manufacturing resources to use. And thus, Henry Mask was born. The masks’ unique origami-inspired design, the high level of protection, and their philanthropic message (for every mask purchased, one is donated to medical workers on the front lines and families in need) put Henry Mask on the map. With no investors and done out of total self-funding, Henry Mask made an extremely impressive $1 million in just 5 months. The colorful masks and their special message have quickly become a hit with celebrity fans including LeBron James, Jennifer Lopez, Michael B. Jordan, Doja Cat, Tracee Ellis Ross, Chrissy Teigen and more. With a monthly subscription model ($39.99 per month), The HENRY Travel-Mask comes in packs of 4 so that you always have a clean mask handy. Masks are washable and reusable but should be replaced weekly with regular use. HENRY Travel-Masks are made of 3-ply 100% Polypropylene nonwoven fabric with round elastic ear-loops to give you the best protection and comfort when worn. Website: www.henrymask.comInstagram: @HenryMasks Connect with Rich: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/richfresh/?hl=enFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/richfreshla/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Emmy Award-winning actor, Terrence Terrell, who can currently be seen as a series regular on the new Chuck Lorre comedy for CBS, B POSITIVE, opposite Thomas Middleditch (SILICON VALLEY) and Annaleigh Ashford (MASTERS OF SEX). Terrence plays a high-energy, former NFL player who is coping with his fading fame while in dialysis. The show premiered on November 5 alongside CBS fan-favorites, YOUNG SHELDON and MOM, and reviews praised the “scene-stealing” ensemble cast (THR, Fienberg) reminiscent of Chuck Lorre’s other successful multi-cam hits. The series was recently picked-up for a full season order. Check out the trailer here. Previously, Terrence has appeared on BOSCH for Amazon, ROOM 104 for HBO, BATWOMAN for CW and THE FIRST WIVES CLUB for BET as well as Issa Rae’s GIANTS, for which he won his Daytime Emmy for "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series" in 2019. He’s also widely known for his recurring character of “Motaur” on the 2019-2021 Progressive commercials. Up next, he can be seen in Jamie Foxx’s feature directorial debut, ALL STAR WEEKEND, playing LeBron James. Terrence will also be writing and directing on an animated short, SKIN DEEP, which will tackle mental health, colorism and what it means for a little Black boy living in this world today through the vehicle of animation. Terrence is partnering with Emmy-winning producer, Anthony Hemingway (THE PEOPLE V. OJ SIMPSON) and Six Point Harness (HAIR LOVE, GUAVA ISLAND), to bring the animated short to life. This story is based off his own dealings with mental health and colorism and is in conjunction with his self-published children’s book series that include titles of BLACKY, THE SHES, THE CROWN KIDS and most recently, MY LITTLE BLACK BOOK which released February 2021. The books promote Black beauty, inclusion and self-love, which are Terrence’s driving forces.

From the moment an audience hears Johnny Manuel’s voice, they’re drawn into his world. The Michigan-born, Sydney-based pop act, who has captivated audiences around the world with his show-stopping voice, enters a new era with the release of “Lost In The Music”. As a child, Manuel couldn’t be pulled away from the radio, and soon discovered the joy of performance - and his incredible musicianship - in the church choir. He has been a prolific performer ever since, appearing on The Voice AU, America’s Got Talent and Eurovision, all the while honing his skills and building an international fan base. Now defining his own artistic vision, Johnny is writing and recording music that is true to his lifelong commitment to his craft. Alongside producer Michael Fatkin and writer David Ryan Harris, Manuel’s new sound captures his personality and broadcasts it as slick, upbeat pop. “Lost In The Music” embodies the highs and lows of lovers in turmoil. While the song was originally inspired by a romantic relationship, Johnny began to discover meaningful parallels with his career in, and relationship with, music. Rather than getting caught up in the industry and letting his passion fade, Manuel is diving deeper into the art, renewing his love for making music and becoming a uniquely authentic figure in pop. The result is a fresh, bass-forward earworm, with Johnny’s stellar voice its beating heart. This dancefloor-ready anthem, “Lost In the Music”, displays Johnny Manuel in his element - making the music that he loves, on his own terms. Listen to his new song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GZ6BZZz3OA Connect with Johnny Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnnymanuel/Twitter - https://twitter.com/johnnymanuelFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JohnnyManuelOfficialFollow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

EPISODE 180 of The Story Box Podcast with now a good friend Jon Acuff Closing in on almost 200 episodes of The Story Box can you believe it!! Jon: You will never forget the first time you hold a book you finished writing.You will never forget when your sales team crushed your annual projections.You will never forget the moment you crossed the finish line of a 5K race.You will never forget when someone paid you to do something you love doing.You will never forget when your marketing team sold out of the new product.Finishing a goal feels amazing.That’s why restaurants have their first dollar bill framed behind the cash register. They did it. They finished.I want that feeling for you.I want you and your team to have that moment.I want to help you cross the finish line of whatever goal you care about.Because the future belongs to finishers.That’s why I write books like, Do Over, Finish and Soundtracks.That’s why I give keynotes to companies around the world.That’s why I host the “All It Takes Is A Goal” podcast and create YouTube videos.That’s why I work hard to add humor, fun and at least one queso reference to everything I do. (I joked about queso so many times on social media that Land o’ Lakes mailed me 24 pounds of it, so technically I’m also now a “Dairy Influencer,” which is nice.)Everything I do is based on one simple principle:I believe in you and I believe in your goals.If you believe too, let’s work together.– JonOfficial Bio: Jon Acuff is the New York Times bestselling author of seven books, including his newest release, Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking. He’s an INC Magazine Top 100 Leadership speaker and has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people at conferences and companies around the world including FedEx, Nissan, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Chick-fil-A, Nokia, and Comedy Central. His large and highly engaged social media following includes nearly 300,000 Twitter followers, more than 187,000 Facebook followers, more than 125,000 Instagram followers, and more than 90,000 email subscribers who look to him for his unique blend of humor, honesty, and hope.

Justin Baldoni, an award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who focuses on revolutionizing the ways in which we perceive media through his newly established Wayfarer Studios.  Justin’s passion for impactful storytelling led him to his directorial debut with FIVE FEET APART starring Cole Sprouse & Haley Richardson. The film raised awareness and highlighted the reality of those afflicted by cystic fibrosis, a life-threatening disorder that impacts 70,000 people around the world. Late last year, Baldoni co-founded Wayfarer Studios, a studio commitment to creating purpose-driven, multi-platform, content for TV and FILM that elevates and speaks to the human spirit; featuring a robust, genre-defying slate of projects spanning film, scripted television, documentaries, digital platforms, and more.  Baldoni directed and produced Wayfarer Studios’ first feature film project, CLOUDS, based on the heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting book “Fly a Little Higher” by Laura Sobiech about her son Zach, a musically gifted 17-year old living with osteosarcoma. Wayfarer Studios co-financed the film that has since been acquired by Disney+—becoming Disney’s first-ever narrative acquisition on its global platform—and is set to be released worldwide this fall but confidentially in October. Justin has a new book coming out called Man Enough About the BookA GRIPPING, FEARLESS EXPLORATION OF MASCULINITYThe effects of traditionally defined masculinity have become one of the most prevalent social issues of our time. In this engaging and provocative new book, beloved actor, director, and social activist Justin Baldoni reflects on his own struggles with masculinity. With insight and honesty, he explores a range of difficult, sometimes uncomfortable topics including strength and vulnerability, relationships and marriage, body image, sex and sexuality, racial justice, gender equality, and fatherhood. Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we’ve learned since childhood and the roles we are expected to play. He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen. Encouraging men to dig deep within themselves, Justin helps us reimagine what it means to be man enough and in the process what it means to be human.Buy the book here: https://www.harpercollins.com.au/9780063055612/man-enough/Connect with Justin on Social Media: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/justinbaldoni/Twitter - https://twitter.com/justinbaldoniFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/justinbaldoniFollow The Story Box on Social MediaINSTAGRAM ► - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ TWITTER ► - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom FACEBOOK ► - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast WEBSITE ► - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE! Apple Podcast ► - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify ► - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ WATCH HERE:YouTube ► - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Not only do I love earning the trust of clients and watching them develop their speaking presence, I also love owning this company with my father; a company he started over 25 years ago.Along with supporting brilliant clients, from shoe designers to engineers to authors to utility managers to sales teams to attorneys, I also get to be a speaker coach for TEDx speakers at TEDxPortland, the largest TEDx event in the United States.Where I feel most alive is taking my skill and passion to one of my most favorite places in the world, Kigali, Rwanda, where I train pastors how to be more effective communicators of hope.Expertise: public speaking, presenting, message consulting, coaching, speaker coach," Signs of Hope Book With so much suffering in our communities and in the world, it can feel impossible to make an impact. "What good can I possibly do?" we ask. As a busy mom and small business owner, Amy Wolff often felt unqualified and too overwhelmed to address the suffering around her. But one day in 2017, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city. This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement, hope, and love, which spread to 50 states and 27 countries in just 18 months. Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering. This book discusses:- the drain of compassion fatigue - why we should show up imperfectly to help others - how to claim hope for ourselves - practical ideas of how to respond to suffering - strategies of how to love people who are “different”  - resilience when love-spreading efforts backfire - how to raise a compassionate generation - the science of hopeThis feel-good, call-to-action book will restore your belief in humanity and empower you to live a life of impact. Changing the world, or at least your corner of it, is easier than you think.

"I researched trauma for over a decade as an academic. I still research trauma today, but now my research helps me create cutting-edge online courses and openhearted self-help books, instead of research papers.We all carry trauma in one way or another, and we can’t truly thrive until we break free from our past. This is why I write, create programs and keep researching and learning: so I can help you move on…and then create the life you want.The freedom process™ is the outcome of fifteen years research, learning, talking, listening and experience. It’s also the outcome of my own personal journey of recovery, healing, growth and thriving.My new book, You’re Not Broken, published by Penguin is now available to order now.what else?I was born and raised just outside Oxford in the UK, and spent most of my adult life living and working in London. My academic research was funded by the UK’s Medical Research Council. My PhD explored how different ways of thinking, feeling and being affect trauma symptoms. Before I became a research psychologist I was a political lobbyist for the music industry – I bet you’d never have guessed that?!Two years ago I moved to Australia with my husband and three young kids. FYI, this was the bravest, hardest, best, most tiring, thing I’ve ever done.I love yoga, reading teenage vampire novels, Mexican food and all things woo-woo and spiritual.what have i recovered from?Well, one kind of psychologist would say I recovered from anorexia and generalised anxiety. A different type of therapist would call it a complete disconnection from body and spirit. Someone from the twelve-step fellowships, like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), would call it addiction (to under-eating) and spiritual bankruptcy.Honestly, it’s all of these things and more. But what do I say I recovered from? I say I recovered from trauma, and I say you can too."Connect with Dr Sarah Woodhouse and buy her new book: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesarahwoodhouse/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesarahwoodhouseTwitter - https://twitter.com/sn_woodhouseBuy her new book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Youre-Not-Broken-Sarah-Woodhouse/9781761040160 If you enjoyed my conversations with Vishen Lakhiani & Marisa Peer then I am excited to share with you that I have partnered up with Mindvalley to give you THEIR FREE MASTERCLASSES!

"I’M CHRIS NORTON, AND I GOT KNOCKED DOWN. HARD.I was a college football player. I saw the opening for a tackle, but I mistimed my jump by a split second. Instead of being in front of the ball, I collided with the ball carrier’s legs. And in an instant, I lost all feeling and movement from my neck down. I was told I would never be able to move again.I could have let it define me. But our lives aren’t shaped by circumstance. They’re shaped by us. Perseverance isn’t about the physical act of standing: it’s about attitude, and the ability to shape yourself in the face of adversity. SO I REACHED DOWN, AND FOUND THE POWER THAT DEFINES US:THE POWER TO STAND.With the support of my friends, family, faith, and the love of my life, Emily, I proved the doctors wrong, and walked the stage at graduation. Most recently, I walked Emily 7 yards down the aisle of our wedding.My story has been published twice – first with my father, and now with Emily. Plus, a documentary about my life story is releasing soon titled 7 Yards.I travel across the country to inspire people from all walks of life, teaching them how to unlock the POWER TO STANDAND I’VE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO EMPOWERING OTHERS TOOVERCOME THEIR OWN OBSTACLES.During my stay at the Mayo Clinic and years of ongoing therapy since, I’ve seen far too many good people go without the necessary therapy equipment and assistance to achieve their recovery goals. People without the luxury of adequate insurance policies, quitting only because they couldn’t afford to recover. That’s not right. So I decided to make a stand.I started the CHRIS NORTON FOUNDATION to help people with neuromuscular injuries and disabilities overcome their obstacles, and live better lives, like I was able to. In addition, we started the Chris Norton Foundation WHEELCHAIR CAMP, a free family camp for all abilities. We’re a nonprofit working to become a national foundation, and change the lives of people with spinal cord issues, so they can change their own.MY STORY IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST ME. IT’S ABOUT ALL OF US.WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO PUSH PAST LIFE’S CHALLENGES.AND WHEN WE MAKE A STAND, WE’LL CHANGE THE WORLD."Connect with Chris and watch his new film: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisanorton16/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/chrisanorton16?fref=nfWatch His New Film Here - https://chrisnorton.org/book-movie/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Platforms & Subscribe for more! Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ Watch The Full Episode Here: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

Today's story is a special one. John C. Maxwell joins The Story Box and shares some powerful wisdom about how you can change your world to become the best leader possible. Small town, huge dreams.Do you have an unstoppable desire to make a difference in the lives of people? Unsure of where to start? That's a snapshot of where I was 50 years ago. My journey began as a pastor of a small church in Ohio where I learned that leadership started with developing myself and connecting with others. It wasn't an easy road and I've worn a lot of hats since those simpler days.I've always dreamed of impacting the world and changing lives one at a time. I've stayed a student of personal growth and development. Why? Because I believe it has the power to change us individually, connect communities, be a catalyst to corporations, and transform countries around the world.You see, my passion in life is growing and equipping others to do remarkable things and lead significant and fulfilled lives.There's no greater mission for me. There's no higher goal than to help others realize their significance and potential. That's why I've dedicated my life to what I believe I do best: teach. I've written more than 100 books that have been translated into fifty languages. I've authored several New York Times bestselling books and was named #1 leadership expert in the world by Inc. Magazine in 2014.I also travel around the world meeting with people of all backgrounds to help them discover significance. I’ve taught what I know to Fortune 500 company leaders, university staff and students, church members and community leaders.But I don’t go the journey alone. In the last two decades, I've developed several organizations to carry out the teaching and wisdom I've gained in my lifetime.Connect with John & buy his new book: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johncmaxwell/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JohnCMaxwell/Twitter - https://twitter.com/JohnCMaxwellBuy His Book Here: https://join.changeyourworld.com/en/ Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Platforms & Subscribe for more! Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ Watch The Full Episode Here: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

This week The Mindset Mentor joins The Story Box: Rob's Story. I LOVE WHAT I DOThanks for being here. My purpose in life is to help people release themselves from mental suffering. All too often that suffering is a mental barrier that we unconsciously place in front of ourselves, that holds us back from the life we dream of living.Over the past 13 years, I spoke across the world to over 50,000 souls. Whether it’s through speaking or coaching, when I see someone making massive changes in their life, I fall even more in love with what I do.WHERE IT BEGANI was raised by an amazing mother and a father who struggled with alcohol addiction. As a child, I struggled a lot with my own self-worth, and limiting beliefs. My passion for speaking came at a young age.When I was 15 my father passed away from his long-time battle. I remember thinking that I never wanted someone to have to go through what I had to go through. So I went to a could of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and asked if I could speak at the meetings. I wanted the people in that room to understand how their alcoholism affects not only them but their loved ones as well. To my surprise, I was rejected as a speaker by all of them because they only allow those battling with the addition in the meetings.I then turned my focus elsewhere. If I couldn’t help the people who in the meetings, how can help others battling their own problems? Whether that is an addiction to food, work, negative self-talk, or toxic relationships.HOW I GOT INTO THIS LINE OF WORKAt the age of 19, I started in sales and discovered personal growth. I became obsessed! Growing up poor, I never saw a therapist to help me through my problems caused by my father's alcoholism, but I realized that if I studied personal growth and psychology, I could help myself through my issues. After many hours of reading, learning, coaching with mentors, and self-reflection, I was able to make big improvements in my own personal growth that lead to improvements in other areas such as my career, and my ability to build relationships with others.I quickly moved up in my company, and by 24 I owned and operated a multimillion-dollar office, and trained over 2,000 sales reps. Throughout that time I taught personal development and psychology to my sales reps and saw how it impacted their lives as well.FAST FORWARD 5 YEARSIn 2015 I decided to take my knowledge to the masses, and I started my podcast “The Mindset and Motivation Podcast” which hit #1 on iTunes in 6 categories and accumulated over 1 million downloads in the first 12 months.January 2017, I decided to take my teachings to Facebook and the rest is history! Since then I have accumulated 1.5 million followers and have had over 1 billion views on Facebook alone.This is just the beginning. My life’s mission is to impact 1 billion souls on this planet. I would love for you join me on this journey, and I hope to impact your life in a positive way.Connect with The Mindset Mentor: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robdialjr/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/RobDialJr/Twitter - https://twitter.com/robdialPodcast - https://robdial.com/podcast/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/jay_fantom Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Platforms & Subscribe for more! Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ Watch The Full Episode Here: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

The Full RundownA graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, Rich is a 50-year old, accomplished vegan ultra-endurance athlete and former entertainment attorney turned full-time wellness & plant-based nutrition advocate, popular public speaker, husband, father of 4 and inspiration to people worldwide as a transformative example of courageous and healthy living. In 2012, Rich became a #1 bestselling author with the publication of his inspirational memoir Finding Ultra: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself.Taking up where the book leaves off, in 2013 Rich launched the wildly popular Rich Roll Podcast, which persistently sits atop the iTunes top-10 lists. In 2014, Rich & his wife Julie Piatt published the bestselling cookbook and lifestyle primer, The Plantpower Way: Whole Food Plant-Based Recipes And Guidance For The Whole Family.In May 2010, Rich and his ultra-colleague Jason Lester accomplished an unprecedented feat of staggering endurance many said was not possible. Something they call the EPIC5 CHALLENGE– an odyssey that entailed completing 5 ironman-distance triathlons on 5 islands of Hawaii in under a week. Commencing on Kauai, they travelled to Oahu, Molokai and Maui before finishing on the Big Island, following the course of the Ironman World Championships on the Kona coast.In addition, Rich has been a top finisher at the 2008 and 2009 Ultraman World Championships in Hawaii. Considered by many to be one of world’s most daunting and grueling endurance races on the planet, Ultraman is a 3-day / 320 mile double-ironman distance triathlon that circumnavigates the entire Big Island. Limited to only 35 carefully selected invitation-only participants from all over the world, Day 1 involves a 6.2 mile ocean swim immediately followed by a 90 mile cross-country cycling race. Day 2 is a 170 mile cycling race. And the event culminates on Day 3 with a 52 mile double marathon run on the searing hot lava fields of the Kona coast.But what makes Rich truly remarkable is that less than two years prior to his first Ultraman, he didn’t even own a bike, let alone race one.Although he competed as a butterfly swimmer at Stanford University in the late 80’s, Rich’s career was cut short by struggles with drugs and alcohol — an addiction that led him astray for the next decade, alienating friends, colleagues and family, landing him in jails, institutions and ultimately rehab at age 31. Although sober, Rich soon found himself 50 pounds overweight; the furthest thing from fit. Everything came to head on the eve of his 40th birthday. Defeated by a mere flight of stairs that left him buckled over in pain, he foresaw the almost certain heart attack looming in his near future.It was time for a major life change.The day immediately following his staircase epiphany, Rich overhauled his diet, became a dedicated vegan, put on his running shoes and jumped back into the pool. It wasn’t long before ambition took hold and his quest to participate in Ultraman slowly began. Two years later, 50 pounds lighter, and fueled by nothing but plants, he surprised the triathlon & ultra communities by not only becoming the first vegan to complete the 320-mile über-endurance event, but by finishing in the top 10 males (3rd fastest American) with the 2nd fastest swim split — all despite having never previously completed even a half-ironman distance triathlon.In 2009, Rich returned to Ultraman twice the athlete he was the year prior. Despite a stacked field, he took home first day honors with a blistering 2:21 swim victory (6th fastest of all time) and a third fastest bike leg to win the day with a 10 minute lead on the field. On Day 2 Rich suffered a serious bike crash but managed to salvage the day in 6th place overall. With an injured knee and shoulder Rich nonetheless went on to a 7:51 Day 3 double-marathon to hold onto 6th place overall.Rich’s plant-fueled feats of boundary-pushing athleticism have been featured on CNN and major publications including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine, The Huffington Post, Stanford Magazine, Men’s Health Living, VegNews, Triathlete, Outside, 3/GO Magazine and Men’s Fitness Magazine, which named Rich as one of the “25 Fittest Men in the World.”Along with his wife and four children, Rich resides in Malibu Canyon outside of Los Angeles.When he isn’t writing, podcasting or spending time with his family, you can find him lost on the remote trails of the Santa Monica Mountains.Follow Rich on Social Media buy his latest book and listen to his Podcast: Instagram Facebook Buy his new book hereRich Roll Podcast Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Plat

EPISODE 150 of THE STORY BOX PODCAST and have I got a very special guest for you all! Dr Nicole LePeraAs a clinical psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients—and for herself—she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the interdisciplinary tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she’d learned with others—and soon “The Holistic Psychologist” was born.Now, Dr. LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. In How to Do the Work, she offers both a manifesto for SelfHealing as well as an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing on the latest research from a diversity of scientific fields and healing modalities, Dr. LePera helps us recognize how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, resulting in whole body dysfunction—activating harmful stress responses that keep us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviors can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell.In How to Do the Work, Dr. LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviors to reclaim and recreate their lives. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, this is a celebration of empowerment that will forever change the way we approach mental health and self-care.Connect with Dr Nicole and buy her new book: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist/?hl=enBuy her book here: https://yourholisticpsychologist.com/book/Follow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Platforms & Subscribe for more! Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ Watch The Full Episode Here: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed this episode please subscribe to YouTube & Apple Podcasts, and leave a 5-star positive rating and review over on Apple Podcasts.

THE HEART OF A CHAMPIONLegendary sports icon, Olympic champion and Hall of Famer, philanthropist, bestselling author, television personality, ringside analyst and longtime face of Skechers’ popular Relaxed Fit collections, Sugar Ray Leonard has established a legacy that epitomizes boxing and invokes the reverence of a champion. Leonard’s illustrious career outside of the ring merits like admiration, as a vanguard in the cultural movement that has brought the sport of boxing front and center today; Leonard also helms the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation which celebrates its 12th anniversary this May, committed to funding life changing research for pediatric type 1 & type 2 diabetes, and helping children build early healthy habits.  Having learned to box at the young age of 14, Leonard’s celebrated career includes three National Golden Gloves titles, two Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) championships and the 1975 Pan-American Games crown. After winning a gold medal in boxing at the 1976 Olympic games, he turned professional as a last ditch effort to help his family defer mounting medical bills incurred from father’s illness. Blinding speed, tremendous power and palpable charm quickly made Leonard a media favorite, dubbed early on by the late Howard Cosell as the “new Muhammed Ali.” At the age of 20 (1977), Leonard won his first professional fight, only setting the stage for a collection of the most memorable fights in all of boxing history. He went on to defeat some of the greatest boxers of the modern era, from Wilfred Benetiz to Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler, from whom Leonard won the world middleweight title. During his 20-year professional career, Leonard also won world titles in the welterweight, junior middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight divisions— the first boxer to win world titles in five different weight classes.In 2011, Leonard published his first autobiography (Viking Books) THE BIG FIGHT: My Life In and Out of the Ring. In the inspiring autobiography, the boxing legend vulnerably confronts his greatest competitor: himself. Sugar Ray Leonard’s raw and uplifting memoir reveals in intimate detail for the first time the complex human who waged his own personal battle with depression, rage, addiction and greed, that lay behind the champion.  Leonard’s charismatic personality and expert ring knowledge led to a successful career as a television broadcaster for NBC, ABC, FOX, HBO and ESPN, also featured as the international commentator for the record-breaking Mayweather vs. McGregor fight. Other television credits include three consecutive seasons as host and mentor in the Emmy-nominated “The Contender,” and a fan-favorite contestant on ABC’s still reigning competition series, “Dancing with the Stars.” Now, Leonard joins the DAZN broadcast team, the live and on-demand sports streaming platform, providing ringside analysis for Matchroom Boxing. On the silver screen, Leonard appeared in the critically-acclaimed Paramount Pictures film The Fighter, also expertly consulting for DreamWorks and Walt Disney Pictures’ on Hugh Jackman’s Real Steel. Perhaps most importantly, some of Leonard’s most impactful work is yet to be done. With a deep calling towards and passion for humanity, Leonard has always been devoted to his community and to helping those in need. In establishing The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation in 2009, Leonard and his wife, Bernadette took changing the world into their own capable hands. Since its inception a decade ago, the foundation has funded countless research projects and offered life changing patient care for children living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the foundation is also committed to helping children lead healthier lives through diet and exercise, equipping them with the tools to be successful in health later on. Leonard also lends his time to Habitat for Humanity, serves as co-chair for the Ambassadors of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and remains the international chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk for a Cure.  Leonard has four children and lives in Southern California with his wife, Bernadette. Connect with Ray: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sugarrayleonard/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SugarRayLeonard6/?ref=page_internalFollow The Story Box on Social MediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thestoryboxpodcast/ Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/thestoryboxpodcast Website - https://thestoryboxpodcast.com/The Story Box on Podcast Platforms & Subscribe for more! Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-story-box/id1486295252 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7h8Qv3r2ZV29f7ktJOwmgM?si=FXxYC1JFSHesBv7_d1WtNQ Watch The Full Episode Here: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheStoryBox If you enjoyed thi
