In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Wren McCallister, a highly accomplished orthopedic surgeon who holds double board certification and has completed a fellowship in his field. Dr. McCallister delves into the vital topic of health awareness, emphasizing how having the correct information can not only save you money but also safeguard the well-being of your hands and legs. Furthermore, he highlights the significance of investing in appropriate equipment for your home office, underscoring how this choice can significantly impact your overall health in the long term. Join us as we delve into these essential aspects of maintaining a healthy and thriving lifestyle. Dr. Wren is a board-certified orthopedic hand surgeon who has spent the past two decades practicing in Edmonds, Washington, where he lives with his wife and three children. After helping thousands of people overcome hand pain and numbness, he noticed a pattern emerge. Frustrated by the complex and inefficient process of getting help, not to mention the cost, people were ignoring their hand problems for far too long. And it all boiled down to an information gap – a lack of access to expert, actionable information and education about hand problems. Dr. Wren started HandGuyMD to fill that gap. HandGuyMD has a goal of helping 1 million people save time, money, and stress, getting relief from hand pain and numbness, and Dr. Wren looks forward to helping you next.

In this episode, we are joined today by an awareness and creativity educator, speaker, author, and artist, Michaell Magrutsche. He talks about how he found art through his quest for something that he could relate to, and he also shares how the act of creating art can be a person's superpower that is applicable to creativity, leadership, relationship, and whatever a person focuses on. Michaell's dyslexia and dysgraphia forced him to develop an awareness of seeing the world purely from a human perspective. Creating art completed his awareness of what it is to be human-relevant vs. system-relevant. Michaell's talent is recognizing awareness to seed a new consciousness that allows us to unveil the untapped superpowers of human limitlessness, art/creativity, healthy discourse, and adaptability to make all humans fit within our human tapestry. Because Michaell has been a sick child, is also dyslexic, and has dysgraphia (hand-eye coordination), he could only navigate in very few systems. Michaell was forced to find his salvation in art. Interacting and creating art outside of systems helped him feel humane and got him through life. Michaell is completely self-taught. Art allowed him to experience life with other humans, and 5 books later, Michaell produced with Robert Evans and became a City Arts Commissioner, etc. Today, Michaell keeps unveiling the limitations of all man-made systems like technology, science, economy, and generalized knowledge to change systems to be more human-adaptable instead of humans keep forcing themselves to be system adaptive. Michaell's mission is to show us something very different.

Today we are joined by the Advertising Specialist for Coaches, the Aussie Hermit himself, Luke Charlton. We talk about marketing, sales, and how you differentiate the two. He also shares the many ups and more downs he has experienced in his business ever since starting it. In 2013, Luke Charlton (AKA: The Aussie Hermit) decided to quit his comfortable 6-figure/yr government job, move halfway around the world, and start an online business as a Coach. Thinking he knew enough about marketing to survive in one of the most expensive cities in the world (London), he quickly realized this online thing wasn't as easy as it looked. Through years of trial and error struggling and nearly going bankrupt, Luke finally discovered the formula for online success now helping over 4,000 Coaches grow their business online. Along with that, he's been featured in "6-Figure Coach" magazine, spent in excess of $16 million on advertising, banked $50M+ in sales for his clients, and has been hired by top ad agencies to write copy for experts such as Bob Proctor, Mike Dillard, Neil Patel, Grace Lever, Ryan Moran and many more. Now he spends his days as a hermit living somewhere near Byron Bay, teaching other Coaches how to get a lot of clients sending just one 15-minute email per day, which he'd love to share with your audience.

Today, we are joined by the Executive Director of BNI Maritimes, Dalene Allen. We talk about her business, how she started from just giving out her business cards to strangers to now having a wide network of people and being in the center of it all. She also talks about how she continues learning from the people she meets daily. Over 30 years ago, Dalene Allen signed up as an independent sales rep with Mary Kay Cosmetics and built a multi-million-dollar direct sales business. As both a woman and a new entrepreneur, building her business gave her experience that could be gained in no other way, and the company provided excellent training. Like any entrepreneur, she was always learning and growing as an individual and searching for ways to promote her business. This career, through connections and sales, led her to find BNI. After attending her first couple of meetings, she was immediately impressed by how organized BNI was and that members were actually giving referrals. She was also delighted to learn about BNI's core values, especially "Givers Gain," which is much like the Golden Rule. She learned so much from other members; presentation and speaking skills, business experience and advice, and a boost of self-confidence and self-esteem. It is a commitment of time and money, but as with any investment, it takes time to grow your network – but BNI is truly the fastest and most effective way to build a huge network that works for all parties. You truly get to know people, and when they know, like, and trust you – referrals do happen. After being a member and now the Executive Director of BNI Nova Scotia, she believes BNI's philosophy and core values align with hers. It is a great way to live your life and build a business. Each BNI chapter becomes a real community and builds lasting relationships. This network opens up a world to connect with other women entrepreneurs, and she believes we are stronger together.
