"In a world where you can be anything, be kind." -Anonymous
We are all more connected than we can possibly imagine. We are constantly influencing and being influenced. The question is: is our influence making the world a better place? When it comes to Houston Kraft, it's a resounding "YES." So when Mark heard about his great work in influence and kindness, he had to have him on the show.
Houston is a trainer, speaker, and kindness advocate. He has personally presented and spoken at over 500 schools, conferences, and companies across the US and continues to impact on a larger scale through CharacterStrong, a curriculum he developed with John Norin that helps K-12 school cultures change to empower students in their social and emotional development.
When it comes to authenticity, kindness, and influence, there are few that can match Houston's wisdom. To hear his thoughts on why we should be kind instead of nice, how everything we do impacts the universe, and how we can be more effective leaders and influencers, check out Episode 245 of People Being Real!

What does the future of The Most Famous Artist look like? It's Authentic & Kind.
Matt Monahan has made a name for himself and found "success" as The Most Famous Artist (if you search for 'the most famous artist' in Google, he is literally the first result). But as his vision for his future has evolved over time, he's found the need to completely reinvent himself and the messages he's putting out into the world. And while they may not be as flashy, clickbaity, and controversial as some of his past works, the new direction for his work is more sustainable by being rooted in kindness and authenticity.
To hear how Matty has evolved since his first appearance on the show (Episode 160) and why he feels authenticity and kindness matter in how we influence others, tune in to Episode 244 of People Being Real!

When it comes to creating impact and being an influence for good in the world, sometimes you just need to take the leap of faith and go all in doing what you love, even if it means leaving behind the security of the familiar. That's what happened to Andrew Sealy.
Instead of sticking with a cushy job at a popular software company in Seattle, he chose to follow his happiness and pursue the life of a yogi. Today, he's a movement creator, connection catalyst, and an expert yogi that's impacting with his joy and kindness and spreading his message on his terms.
And in Episode 243, Mark and Andrew talk about how he came to discover yoga, what kept him from taking the leap and diving deeper into it, why being present and kind is important to creating positive influence, and Andrew shares some exciting upcoming projects he's working on that you don't want to miss.

"Don't count the days. Make the days count." -Muhammad Ali
As of the time of this episode's recording, we have 90 days left in 2019. That means we have 90 days left in THIS DECADE. And just like in business and in sports, the fourth quarter is when the magic needs to happen and where we need to give our all.
In this episode (#242), Mark brings into focus the importance of these last 90 days of the year, explains why hit's okay to forgive ourselves for falling short of our goals so far, and shares his top 3 (really 4... and maybe a bonus 5th) tips for creating a year-end game plan to shine and end up on top.

"What do you do when you realize that the person you have been is no longer serving you?"
In Episode 241, Mark decided to share some thoughts on this very question. This summer has offered Mark a ton of opportunities to self-reflect and get real with himself about who he's been and what it's going to take to get to where he wants to go.
Some of the this week's highlights include some thoughts regarding how triggering (and insightful) being around family can be, what kind of thought habits, patterns, and actions from his childhood continue to influence him today (for better or for worse), and what we can all do to get clear on why we are the way we are and use that information to guide us into the future we want.
If you're ready to take a trip down memory lane and get real with yourself, check out this micro-episode on People Being Real!
This has been a reality for Mark in 2019. He’s been nursing some lofty goals for quite some time, and in order to become the next best version of himself, he realized that the only place he can look to is him.
