I had the great opportunity to have a chat with Paul Eckheart. I met him though Toastmasters where he gave a speech about his Nemesis. I loved his story, it gave a perspective that a lot of us find ourselves in, So I had to have him on the podcast. 

He has had good programming jobs but it is not his passion, it is a way to pay the bills. He has now decided to follow through with chasing his dream of being a writer. 

How many of us find ourselves just working to pay the bills and letting our passion just fall by the way side and get put on the back burner. 

Paul shared some insights on feelings that I have had before and I am sure some of you have had too. Have a listen! 

Enjoy! 

I sat down again with Kelly Kay Walker and we talked about how she had pivoted but not because of Covid but because she thought she could help people do what she has done when it comes to speaking and getting their message out there. 

What she has done in such a short period of time is quite amazing. She is always willing to put herself out there and just see what happens. Some of it works and some of it doesn't and that is ok. 

Kelly gave a some pointers on what has help her grow so fast and and what it takes to put yourself out! 

Great podcast! 

Enjoy! 

This was a fun and very different episode, I got four different opinions from four different age groups. We talk about opportunity, awareness, entrepreneurship and if they thought school was giving them the tools that they might need to be an entrepreneur or even a side hustler. 

Roscoe shared how he is helping prepare his sons to take advantage of a world with so many opportunities all around them it they just are aware and take action. So many ways to make money doing what you like to do.

This is one for all ages.

Today we talk about estate plans. What are they and who needs them? 

I almost died a couple of months ago and it really opened my eyes. If I had died nothing was planned. If would probably been tough for my wife to navigate all the different financial issues like getting my life insurance, selling the house and even accessing my business bank accounts. 

So who needs an estate plan? What does it all consist of? 

Robert Fugal answers these and other questions.

Have a listen! 

I say this quite often but this was one of the most fun, entertaining and valuable podcasts that I am had the pleasure of being involved with. Darren has great advice and he is able to deliver it in an entertaining and unforgettable manner. 

In 2001 Darren outspoke 25,000 contestants from 14 countries to win the World Championship of Public speaking! He has come a long way!

As he says, he may have been born without a funny bone in his body but through his willingness to try and fail he has proven to that anything can be learned. 

He is a speaker, mentor and the co-host of the Unforgettable Presentations podcast. This is another must listen to podcast!

Oh man, today I sat down with Jenn Gibbs and we talked coaching! There are coaches for everything, in different price ranges.  How do you pick the right one for you? Are they worth what they charge? This is just part of what we discussed.

Jenn is a business and mindset coach. For decades she has been a student of personal development, subconscious mind and business. 

Her first dozen business attempts ended in failure, teaching hard lessons first-hand about the struggles that face entrepreneurs desperately trying to build a profitable business.

Refusing to give up, and learning from her own mentors, Jenn discovered how to combine age old truths with some missing pieces, exponentially  expanding her results. What she found took her from zero to exploding through the six figure ceiling year after year in her own business. 

She shares some of what she has learned from her life lesson.
