Relaunch - Never Give Up On Your Possibilities

While she learned to tolerate life in front of the camera, her unsatisfying career as a newswoman and an anchor, led her to a dangerous addiction, poor relationships, and low levels of self esteem. She would sometimes sneak away from the TV station early, running away from the job she grew to hate. Her moment of truth (the clarity to leave) came as a literal punch in the face. BAM! And then BOOM to the floor. She was sucker-punched by a victim's family member, whose murder trial she was covering. Away from an environment that had become toxic, she was able to get clean, healthy, and happy. On the show, Joleene Moody talks about leaving the past behind, stepping into the unknown, and how to start a career shift. Understanding and embracing her calling, she brings clarity, confidence and direction to individuals, speaks to and motivates crowds, and transforms audiences with her common sense and often comedic approach. During the Christmas season, 2014, Joleene's first full-length comedy, Visiting Bammy Lewis, w

If life is a highway, he was on the fast-track - a six figure-a-year salary, a dream car, and unlimited possibilities. As he slid behind the wheel that night, somewhere in another part of the city, someone who had one to many trips to the bar. was fumbling for his keys. Out on the open highway, he hit a cool speed of 70. Driving the wrong way in the same lane, the other driver slammed into him at a combined force of 140 MPH, crushing 11 of his bones and leaving him trapped behind the wheel. Pronounced dead at the scene by emergency workers (clinically dead for six minutes, in a coma for six days), our guest not only defied the first responders, he refused the diagnosis of paralysis, and defied the logic of the medical community. On the show, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and Taking Life Head On, Hal Elrod, talks about the two times he hit rock bottom since the accident and how he was able to come back stronger and more confident than before. This is gold >>> Hal gives the specific details and A, B

Wise beyond her teenage years, she wanted to create something that really meant something. In her own beautiful words - ”I wanted to turn my life into my art. My very existence into a poem." With not much more than a vague dream, high hopes, and a guitar slung over her shoulder, at 18, she left behind everything she knew in her native born country of Sweden - friends, family, and security, in search of herself and her purpose. After a year in London, wandering, growing, and playing anywhere she could (sometimes crashing in the home's of her fans), she launched her first album, funded entirely from a pledge campaign. Her fans and supporters raised the needed money in only four hours. On the show is singer, songwriter and author, Charlotte Eriksson, better known as The Glass Child. Charlotte on her life's journey - "This is my story – it’s been a beautiful fight. It still is”.

Joking and poking fun at himself on the show, this former, overweight comedian and author, had to fight off the the well-intentioned, beach-front, bystanders, as they desperately tried to haul him back to sea. They had mistaken the family outing for a manatee rescue operation. OK, so maybe it wasn't that bad (although pretty close), when today's guest caught a glimpse of an oceanside picture of himself next to his granddaughter (her in a child's bathing suit, him in a MUCH LARGER ONE). It was the motivational jumpstart he needed to quit super-sizing, get in shape, drop the winter coat, became a triathlete and begin to live Fully Alive. Thirty years ago, our guest, funny man Ken Davis, was called by The Dallas Morning News "One of the funniest comedians to come down the pike." (Let's pray that he's not only gotten better, but also has some new material.) He's a highly competitive athlete and is a gold medalist in competitive sleeping.

On the tail-end of a recession, seven years ago, our guest left a successful organization that he helped create. Through his own quiet time and reflection, he realized his season there was over, and that it was time to take his wife’s hand and enter into a new one – this time as the leader and number-one guy. Gary Barkalow, founder of The Noble heart and author to one of the meatiest books I’ve ever read on purpose and calling, It’s your Call, joins us on the show to share his false-starts, lessons learned, and best ideas for success. Path of Development – After two years of initial growth for The Noble Heart, finances became tight as business began to dry up. While he had extensive experience in business and in ministry leadership, as the front-man, he was now in unchartered waters, with only himself and his wife Leigh, manning the oars. Calling it quits (almost) – During one of his lowest moments, he saw a move called Money Ball; Brad Pitt’s character takes on the job of rebuilding the dysfunctional and bro

As the weekend drew to a close, the dread of facing another week, wore-down her emotions and well-being. And, while she was pulling down a six figure salary (not bad for a 24 year old who had bought her first house at 19), the healthy paycheck lost it's appeal, once she realized the unhealthy price she was paying - red eye flights, days away from home and family, and spiritual unrest. Tolerating it for a season, once she decided to have a child, all bets were off. She knew she needed to create her own opportunity, work from home, so she could be available for her husband, son, and self.

It was a tremendously moving experience for him - He was sitting by his step-father's bedside, during his last days, where he saw a vision of his own funeral. It was a sobering jolt that quickly caught his full attention and straightened out some of the ideas and beliefs, by which he was living.  As he explains openly on the show, for most of his working life, money was his target and "the almighty dollar" was the bull's eye.

The mixed messages and confusing situations she experienced during childhood and in two unsuccessful marriages, led to feelings of loneliness, depression, and an it's just not worth it, desperation attitude.

As her college classroom peers hoped to find something that would trigger their future direction and possibilities, her teachers saw something that would give her the guidance toward a fulfilling and profitable tomorrow. (It's amazing how people can see things in us, that we have either been blind to or haven't assigned value to, as yet.) As it turned out, her profs approached her with the idea of having her coach another teacher, to help him learn how to present the material in a more compelling, memorable, and influential way. She has personally interviewed and researched CIA agents, undercover law enforcement, con-artists, human intelligence officers, interrogators, trial attorneys, and many other individuals who are highly skilled at influencing people during critical moments.

No surprise here - as an up-and-coming entrepreneur, he had a different philosophy and style than his boss. He was a corporate guy, a manager, struggling to make a difference, but losing a little of himself at the same time. While it probably didn't feel like a blessing at the time, the straw that broke the corporate camel's back was actually liberating, giving him the opportunity to finally live up to his own potential.

A chain-reaction collision involving a drunk driver paralyzed her from the waist down. As she explains on the show, a box of forgotten pipe wrenches slammed into her back, almost completely severing her spinal cord. Refusing the wheelchair as well as conventional wisdom, when she was ready to beat obesity, lose the bed weight (she's lost 120 lbs so far), regain her footing and the ability to walk, she didn't seek out physical therapy, she looked for a gym. She was eager and hungry to surround herself with healthy, active, and vibrant people. Author of Everyday Bliss for Busy Women, Maryam Webster is our guest. One of her biggest A-Ha! moments came when she shifted her thinking and language from "Please God... Please God..." to "Thank you God." Gratitude, for her, made all the difference. Not only is she walking, she's dancing. What's interesting about this story is that Maryam wasn't always a fierce game-changer. In fact, on the show, she fesses-up to list many things she's quit. It was this unbelievable (phy

After the divorce, she need more than regaining her balance and center of gravity. She needed an overhaul in the way she felt, thought, and carried herself. The relational mess she had been through, devastated most of what she knew and believed, as she explains on the show, leaving her feeling like a "loser".

He had his life planned out. After gridiron success as a college athlete, his sights were set on the high prize of playing professional football. He was gifted with quickness, agility, and a work ethic that wouldn't quit. When doctors delivered the news that his eyesight was failing and he would later become blind, hopes of a pro career quickly faded. Everything he had worked toward and had achieved vanished.

Although spiritually fulfilling, her first business was not financially rewarding. Venessa Halloum shares her journey of finding entrepreneurial happiness.

Earning more money than he could spend, (at least, that's what he thought), he celebrated his early-in-life financial victories with "insane" spending sprees and a matching (and very expensive), "flashy lifestyle". He wasn't interested in keeping up with the Joneses, he was laser-locked on leaving them in the dust. That all changed, of course, when he found himself on the outskirts of homelessness; a near casualty of his own success - having lost all of his money and living inside his beat-up Jeep Cherokee, just outside the place he used to call home. The amazing Chris Cerrone, host of The Cerrone Show is our guest, sharing his story of personal growth and real wealth creation. Two of the most memorable and impressive things he explains on the show - "It was no one's fault by my own", and "I wouldn't change a thing."  Learn how to grow, scale, and monetize your product, business or content, the Cerrone way.
