Purpose Chasers Podcast

When you hear the word “sales”, where does your mind automatically go? Maybe you’ve been thrown sales pitch after sales pitch only to feel bombarded with having to oblige someone else’s dream. Or maybe you’ve been burned by sales calls that didn’t fully deliver what was promised to you. For many of us, the term sounds icky and dirty and can carry a lot of baggage. But it doesn’t have to.    In today’s episode, I am sharing why I created the 6 Steps to a No-Sell Close and how you can lead with an opportunity for individuals to chase after whatever it is that they are called to do. The truth is, there are a lot of people out there who deliver false promises and cause a lot of turmoil in the long run. But I am here to change the way you think about sales and how you can set a firm foundation for how you show up in the world.    Topics Discussed: Insights, tips, & tricks to sell without being a scumbag Why “sales” doesn’t have to be a dirty word How to present an opportunity to help indi

Have you ever felt resistant to making money? Maybe you have self-limiting beliefs around the idea of money and how to receive it. But what if we were able to develop a healthy relationship around money while simultaneously claiming and owning our self worth? Today’s guest helps walk us through how to overcome these self-limiting beliefs and how to truly feel empowered to earn the money we deserve.  In today’s episode, I am talking with The Financial Emotional Intelligence Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Author, Anne Beaulieu. Anne originally started her career as a Finance Economist and Chartered Financial Analyst. But like many successful people, she felt like something was missing. Through her commitment to deep mentoring and EQ training, she has been able to deliver the self-awareness skills, tools, and strategies we need to shift our money beliefs to get out of our own way. She is also the Founder of Femme Sauvage, the heart of money matters.Want to level-up your life, your art, or your business? Here's

Why do we struggle with the yearning of feeling like we always need to look good? Why can't we get authentic and really share where we're at? If our friends, family, and communities want to see our most authentic selves, then why do we constantly feel the need to always look like we have everything together?    These are just a couple of the questions that I am discussing this week as we dive into what it looks like to truly show up as your most authentic self. Listen in as I share the direction I am heading towards with Purpose Chasers and how I am better showing up for you. Remember, the more vulnerable and authentic you can get out of the gate the better you are for it.   Topics Discussed: Why you need to let go of the idea of “looking good”  The new direction for Purpose Chasers  Why being authentic sets you up for more opportunity The idea behind constant struggle and constant growth My BIGGEST struggle when it comes to chasing my purpose The number ONE reason why I became an e

What if there was more to life than just fancy clothes and nice sports cars? What if you get to your destination only to find that there is something missing. For most of us, we have often felt the desire for something deeper within ourselves. The truth is, we begin to discover that what it is that we have been chasing for so long can’t be bought with monetary means. This is exactly what our guest today shares with us and what led him to discover his deeper purpose in life.    In today’s episode, I am talking with Robert Mack, an ivy-league-educated Celebrity Happiness Coach, Positive Psychology Expert, Author of Happiness from the Inside Out, and TV Host, Personality and Producer for OWN and E! Robert shares how he went from suicidal ideation and self-hate to finding his inner joy by taking action against his self-limiting beliefs.

Every human wants to live their life at their maximum potential. However, the resistance comes from the stories that they have created in their heads surrounding the idea of how difficult that will actually be. As a result, they never end up completing their maximum potential because they often talk themselves out of chasing their greatest potential. They know what’s waiting for them on the other side but they never actually reach that point.    However, this week, I am shutting down the false narrative that you can’t chase after your maximum potential. Through your consistent actions, there are rewards waiting on the other side for you. It’s time you stop creating stories in your mind around the idea that you can’t have what it is that you are set to do. Life isn’t always easy but there is always a way through the difficult times. Once we are able to see opportunity through adversity, then we are able to tap into our greatest potential.   Topics Discussed: - Dealing with the resistance of dif

Are you tired of allowing other people to make decisions for you? Do you often feel pressured by your environment to choose to take action? Maybe you feel pressured by society to opt for a specific career path that you’re not passionate about. Or maybe you have allowed your family to dictate what makes YOU happy in life. The truth is, though, oftentimes we don’t give ourselves enough credit for taking action. Sure, there are outside influences that can be the vehicle in which you get to your destination, but ultimately the choice is yours.    This week, I am sharing with you the three-step-process to never be pressured or persuaded in your decision making again. My wish with this episode is that you start taking ownership of your life and start implementing your power of choice. Other people can’t live your life for you so it’s time to stop allowing them the freedom to make decisions for you. It’s time to breathe life and catch fire to what it is that you have been called to fulfill.    To

Are you struggling with connecting with your family? Maybe your efforts for being a positive father figure or a deeply devoted spouse aren’t quite being met. Or maybe you never had a father figure in your life, much less a positive relationship with your father, and you’re wanting to level up in how you parent your children. Regardless of your history, your future can still be rewritten. Sometimes our past, even the negative aspects, are needed to shape who we become in the future. You can make the choice today show up wholeheartedly for your family. This week, I am talking with Larry Hagner, founder of The Good Dad Project as we dive into what it means to truly connect with your family. Larry shares with us his humble beginnings as he walks us through his personal journey of fatherhood. Being without a father figure present for most of his childhood, Larry shares with us the pivotal moment where he realized the father than we knew he needed to be for his own children. Listen as we journey through connectivit

Recently in my meditation and contemplation, I’ve really felt the need to share part of my story on the show. I’ve had the idea for someone to interview me on the show for a while now. But I really wanted to make sure that whoever came on the show to interview me, that challenges me to be a better person. And what better person to have asked me questions about my past and my journey than Rick Alexander. Not only has he been a former guest on the show in its early release, but Rick has also been one of the people in my life whom I deeply respect and resonate with.    This week, Rick Alexander, host of Morning Coffee, sits down and asks me to share parts of my journey that I haven’t shared on the show before. This special episode is one that is very near and dear to me as I get 100% honest and transparent about where I am at in life and how I have gotten to this place of acceptance and gratitude. Tune in to hear about my transformation and the pivotal moments in my life that helped shape who I am toda

Did you know that many of our decisions are operated out of fear? What opportunities we say yes to and others we say no to typically depend on how we allow outside forces to influence our decisions. But whether you recognize those fears or not, you are still the only person that is in control over your life. It is important that we start giving credit where credit is due. You are in control. Don’t let what happens to you decide what you do with the circumstances that you have been given.    This week on Purpose Chasers, as promised I am sharing part two of the power of choice. Specifically, I am talking about the victim’s response to choice and how people make decisions out of fear. I am sharing with you what leads to decision making, or lack thereof, and how we can show up in our own lives. Ultimately, nobody can make the decision for us. Oftentimes we give outside influences too much credit for our decisions. But, remember, you have the power to choose the life that you want to live. Don’t allow o

Have you ever wondered why so many people drop out of coaching courses? Or maybe you’ve asked yourself why people stop showing up for themselves in the middle of transformational masterminds? It’s not the lack of resources that stops people from achieving their goals. Want to know the real reason why people give up? They allow their self-limiting beliefs to dictate their actions. -   This week, I am talking with Master Coach, Founder of My Recovery Toolkit, and host of the Addiction Unlimited podcast, Angela Pugh. We are discussing how commitment is the difference between those who give up half-way and those who achieve their goals. Angela shares with us her own self-limiting beliefs and how she has continued to invest in herself to ensure success in her own life. Purpose Chasers, get ready as we dive into what it truly means to invest in yourself. Topics Discussed: Why you should be investing in yourself and your mindset How implementing 10-15 minutes a day helps you move closer to your goals Why b

What if you didn’t have to live a life that someone else chose for you? Don’t like your current career choices? Aren’t happy with where you’re currently at in life? The truth is, you have the complete power to decide right this very moment how the trajectory of the rest of your life is going to look like. While we all have the power of choice, many individuals only want someone else to make their decisions for them.    This week, I am sharing the incredible power of choice and why we are capable of saying no. Let’s face it, not every opportunity is a great opportunity. Sometimes we have to say no to things that aren’t in our best interest. However, many of us get stuck in a routine that we feel like we have to make decisions in order to make other people happy. But what if I told you that you can, in fact, take back ownership over your life right this very moment? How would you choose to live the rest of your life?   Topics Discussed: Why people make the wrong decisions in their life How to t

Do you know what your true purpose in life really is? Have you ever felt like your purpose has shifted over time? The truth is, most individuals *think* they have an idea of what they were called to do. However, very few individuals have actually stepped into their calling. Everyone wants a purpose, but how many people actually find it?   This week, I am sharing with you why you will never find your purpose by chasing a specific destination point. Many times we think that we will find our purpose if we could just hit a specific following or once we accomplish our goals, that’s when we’ve made it. We view success and purpose through a filter of self-limiting beliefs. However, what if I told you that it’s less about a destination and more about a transformational journey?    Topics Discussed: Shifting away from the idea that purpose is a physical location Identifying self-limiting beliefs that are holding you back  How to take actionable steps that help guide you into finding your true pur

If I were to ask you who the top 5 people are in your circle, would you be satisfied with the names you’ve written down? They say you are the average of your immediate sphere of influence so if this is true, then what does this say about your current level of success? Does your current situation line up with you want to be in this world? Odds are, we aren’t allowing ourselves to be uncomfortable enough to take action towards our goals.    This week, I am talking with spirited boss babe, serial entrepreneur, keynote speaker, life + business strategist, and best-selling author, Cathy Christen. We talk about a wide range of topics spanning from identifying what brings us joy to taking ownership of our lives. Cathy shares with us the definitive moment that changed the course of how she was able to pursue her dreams. The truth is, we don’t always get to choose what happens to us, but we always have the choice of how we learn and grow from those life lessons. Topics Discussed: Learning how to identify what bring

Is the story you’re currently telling yourself allowing you the access to truly step into transformation? Is there a lie you’re currently believing about yourself that is hindering your growth? Often times, what we really need in order to grow is a mental shift in the right direction. If you are feeling even the slightest bit of resistance towards your goals, you may be allowing your thought life to dictate how you take action.   This week, I am sharing with you the two phrases that have hindered more personal development growth and transformational growth in my life than anything else. In order to have a true transformation, we must first realize that we have the potential to take action. Our mindset and thought life are huge indications of whether or not we show up for ourselves.  Topics Discussed: The two MOST restrictive phrases that hinder personal development Why our thought life is potentially blocking our transformational growth The relationship between our thought life and the ability to

If you are currently unhappy with the way you are living your life, what is holding you back? Is it a lack of inspiration or is it the idea that we have to fulfill other people’s expectations? The truth is, nobody lacks motivation or inspiration to chase after their purpose. However, most of us struggle with the idea that we need to fit the mold of what other people think we should be. This week, I am talking with fitness coach, author, and host of The Million Pound Mission, Adam Schaeuble aka PHD (Previously Heavy Dude). Adam shares his humble beginnings of living an unfulfilled life to how he overcame the expectations of others to fully step into his calling. When we allow ourselves to look within, we begin to realize the potential within us. In this episode, you can expect a few laughs but mostly the audacity to dream big. You don’t need permission to live your best life so go out and chase your greatest purpose. What’s stopping you?

How many times do you answer an opportunity with the phrase: “I’ll think about it”? Odds are, for most of us, this is our go-to answer when faced with a decision that we don’t want to make. Even if it’s something we think would be beneficial for us, we often use the phrase “I’ll think about it” as an exit strategy to withhold making an executive decision for as long as possible. Maybe it’s something we don’t want to do but we don’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings. Or maybe it’s something we would like to do but we have a lot of self-limiting beliefs holding us back.    This week, I am sharing with you my strategy on how to shift our mindset from “thinking” to “doing”. If I’m being honest, I have had to stop myself in the past from using this phrase because I wasn’t quite ready to make a decision. However, with my 3-step process, I will be able to help you define what exactly it is that you want for your life and how to know if you’re on the right track. Topics Discussed: How to stop thinkin

What do you want to do with your life? When you look within, what is it that you want to create or do with your life? The thing is, every single one of you already has an answer to what that looks like. We all have dreams of what we want our lives to look like in the future. But most of us don’t actually know what the first step looks like in order to get there. So, how do we get to those places?   This week, I am sharing with you the importance of speaking up for yourself and how you can take action despite what your current circumstances look like. The truth is, our dreams don’t become reality until we are ready to activate our true purpose. Topics Discussed: How we can lean into our true purpose Re-discovering our dreams and how to make them a reality Why taking action towards our goals shifts our mindset  How we can disprove our own insecurities and self-limiting beliefs   ---    Connect with Mark Crandall   Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers ® Facebook group for unrelea

Ever had that one person in your life who completely changed the game for how you show up in your own life? You know, that person that speaks life into you and encourages you to take big leaps towards your most audacious goals and dreams? Last week, I shared about the power of mentorship and this week I get to share my conversation with my mentor himself.  That’s right, I am talking with former gym owner, former NFL, international speaker, shift coach, a competitor on NBC's American Ninja Warrior, and my mentor, Anthony Trucks. Anthony shares with us the power of shifting our mindset into the belief that we are not victims of our past and that we are capable of creating a new future for ourselves. We talk about the idea that our bodies are a lot like computers that need to recharge and update over time as well as the fear behind truly stepping into our full potential. I also share how Anthony has personally helped me focus on my “why” behind Purpose Chasers and serving this community.  Topics Discussed: C
