Does the idea of being able to multiply time sound too good to be true? Rory Vaden’s new book called "Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time" will prove otherwise. In it he profiles some of the most successful people on the planet now being called Multipliers and the book explodes the fallacy of finite time. 

Talk about doing what you’re meant to do. Sometimes it can be easy to overlook the obvious. While Michael Port is a 5 time author, international keynote speaker, trainer and business coach, he is also an experienced actor having appeared on Sex and the City and virtually every television network. He’s also done thousands of voice-overs. Doesn’t it make perfect sense then, as an actor, that he would train others on public speaking? Michael offers great speaking tips as well as how to find your best performance from within.

Ever get caught up making a decision? A big or small decision? Of course you have. We all have. Fear of making the "wrong decision" can cause inaction and missed opportunities. What if you had a practically fool-proof  method for decision making, big and small? Well, now you will! I am super excited to share insights from my friend, colleague and my OWN coach, Brian Whetten, Ph. D, M.A.

Having an online “presence” is more than just being online. It’s your platform says Brian Clark. A place to be noticed, share, give and receive. A place to get your message out and a place to be found. Not unlike a stage a speaker steps onto, it is your place to shine and communicate your unique gifts. Embracing this platform concept will fundamentally change the way you approach your website and your entire online marketing plan. If you are updating your website or even thinking about it, start by listening to this episode first.

Ellen Rogin is the rare person that is as comfortable talking about the power of compound interest as she is the power of belief. In her book "Picture Your Prosperity", Ellen offers one of the most progressive approaches to what makes many people run for the hills. Money. She has the most heart centered and holistic approach to acquiring, managing and creating prosperity I have ever come across.

At the close of every year you take pause, look back, while also looking forward to plan your New Year. Whether you are a big goal setter or not isn’t relevant. The reality is a calendar year is a big marker for everyone. The reality is that time has passed and you are embarking on a new year. The ultimate question is what will you do in 2015 to move you closer to what you want? Join best-selling author Honorée Corder.

Highlights from various past episodes on Creative Warriors including Jay Baer, Jordan Harbinger, Ted Coine, David Mead, Ben Newman, Kevin Swan, Thai Nguyen and Corwin Hiebert

Bob Pranga aka Dr. Christmas dropped in to chat about being a Christmas tree stylist to the stars. Bob has pulled off many holiday miracles for star studded celebrities including Candice Bergen, Mario Lopez, Whoopi Goldberg, Alison Sweeney, Nancy Reagan, Shaquille O’Neal, Leeza Gibbons, Kate Hudson, Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton and Christina Aguilera to mention just a few!

The inner workings of creative minds and some of the challenges we face with clinical psychologist Dr. Matthew Kaplowitz. More importantly we discussed how to manage our Ferrari mind when we have bicycle brakes. How when you feel like you have a deficit it can provide you the extra drive and motivation needed to overcome it. Which can lead to extraordinary results if you leave your ego at the door and seek support. 

The #1 challenge a creative person faces every day is creating demand for their work. Without demand you simply can not sustain a profitable business using your talent. This is one of the many topics I happily discuss with todays guest Corwin Hiebert. We had a very thought provoking discussion about creative marketing, idea generation, creativity, and collaboration. 

Since 2008, “social media” as we knew it has changed and continues to morph into something much more than a form of entertainment or a way of doing business. It has given all of us the ability to connect on an intimate level that is so revolutionary that it has the ability to shift entire cultures and force individual transparency at a moments notice. Not unlike a village, the internet has the ability to build relationships, offer purpose and enable like-minded people a place to gather and share. Ted Coiné, the co-author of “A World Gone Social”, believes that “profits as a direct result of putting people first” is a more human way to do business.

Gratitude, abundance and grace are always at hand. I am thrilled to offer a cornucopia of insights on this special Thanksgiving Day episode from todays guest, spiritual teacher Selina Maitreya. I had the great pleasure of speaking to Selina, about how to reduce stress during the Holidays, increase gratitude, and why abundance is “elusive” to many yet always attainable. The perfect accompaniment while you’re preparing dinner or driving to Grandma’s house.

“YOUR success is not just about changing YOUR habits, it’s about changing the way YOU think.” That quote from best-selling author and international speaker Ben Newman may put you on edge or intrigue you and the reality is it should do both! Either way, hopefully it will motivate you to be at your peak performance and in the game 100%.

David Mead is part of New York Times best-selling author Simon Sinek’s team. You may know Simon from his famed TED Talk, “How Great Leaders Inspire” and for being a passionate thought leader that is internationally recognized and most known for his work “Start With Why.” David and the entire Simon Sinek team turn conventional wisdom inside-out to help people and businesses achieve their best results. Results that are focused on WHY we do what we do before the WHAT and HOW of what we do.

I sat down with photographer and author David duChemin to discuss his latest book “How To Feed A Starving Artist". We discuss everything from the #1 money issue most creative business owners face to how a semi-debilitating accident changed “everything” in very unexpected ways. David shares why he too, feels this is the best time in history to be a creative business owner and how a diversified business will be necessary in the future.

WordPress and marketing expert Greg Taylor shares with us his experience about team building, collaboration with others and problem solving. This interview is full of practical business advice including some awesome WordPress tips. Greg is a knowledgeable guy!

A lively conversation with relationship expert Jordan Harbinger of The Art of Charm about how business is a lot like dating. 

Digital marketing expert and best-selling author Jay Baer says that the difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to the success of your business in the age of information overload. Jay explains how smart marketing is about help not hype. This episode is jam packed with incredible information!

Unassuming lifestyle entrepreneur Kevin Swan joins us today to discuss his latest “project”--packing up his family in an Airstream trailer and traveling across the USA. It's about making decisions and acting on them. It's about kicking fear to the curb and trusting that you can solve any problem that arises. Ultimately it's about courage, trust and willpower. Three qualities each and every Creative Warrior must embrace everyday. 

Money mind-set expert Dan LeFave and I discuss money and the unspoken conflict that many creative business owners face. It can be a challenge with something as "tangible" as money to believe that it has anything to do with how we think. The truth is, it has everything to do with how we think.
