Tessie Castillo is the co-author of Crimson Letters, Voices From Death Row, a book that she co-wrote with four men serving death sentences in North Carolina, whom she met while volunteering at North Carolina’s Central Prison in 2014.

In today's episode she wants to highlight the importance of reserving judgement and keeping an open mind in ALL situations, because you are then able to learn something new.

"Crimson Letters illuminates the complex stew of choice and circumstance that brought four men to Death Row and their search for hope and purpose behind bars. Since its publication, Castillo and her co-authors (who call in from prison) have been speaking on criminal justice issues and sharing their story with universities, faith groups, non-profits, radio shows, and podcasts, including NPR, Longform Podcast, and the Greensboro Bound criminal justice series featuring anti-death penalty advocate Sister Helen Prejean. They also host a free book club where co-authors call into virtual discussions to answer questions and converse with book club members."

We are joined by Amy Bruske, President of Kolbe Corp., and discussing how to get more out of you!

So, how do you navigate life? Perhaps this is a question you've never asked yourself...or maybe you explore and analyze your natural instincts regularly.

Amy joins us to talk about how the Kolbe A Index (which is NOT like any assessment you've ever done before!) helps us figure out our own method of operation.

"Kolbe’s four Action Modes are the modern breakthrough in understanding and explaining conation. Kathy Kolbe’s key insight was that everyone has a strength in how they operate in each of these Action Modes. Each person’s method of operation, or “MO,” is their strength in that area.

Your conative mind contains the instincts and innate attributes that define your natural method of operation (MO). When you work in your natural style, you are more productive, more comfortable and more successful. We identify people’s instinctive strengths, explain them, analyze how they align with tasks and other people, and offer practical solutions for putting them into practice — from doing better in a job, to team performance, to personal relationships.

Today we are joined by creativity expert, and author of The Creator Mindset, Nir Bashan to talk about how we can think more creatively in order to get more in life (and business!).

Nir's new book, The Creator Mindset, helps us explore the attributes, habits, skills and techniques that we can all use to bring out that creative mindset that we are born with.

Many of us think that, as adults, unless we are in the arts, then we are not creative, but Nir helps us to see that that simply isn't true.

We all have the capability to leverage our creativity when it comes to spotting opportunities, developing solutions to everyday problems, and running a business that we love.

Today we are joined by Dr. Todd Snyder, Psy.D to talk about how to get more out of our productivity (personally and in our business).

If you were asked to double your productivity tomorrow - could you? Often times when we look at our life, or our business, we wish for 'more' but don't have a clear idea of what that will mean in terms of pressure-testing the systems we have in place.

Bottlenecks are a major cause of productivity loss and, essentially are a backup of work (or things we want to do) that can't get done because we don't have the time/capability to do it.

Dr. Snyder helps us understand why these bottlenecks happen and what to do about them - part of which means understanding what we want and having very clear goals so that we can work on the things that matter most.

Today we are joined by Akeem Gardner to talk about why we all need to stop trying to be perfect in our business.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, business ownership, and our growth in general, the mistakes that we make and the failures that come with those mistakes are SO important for our learning.

If we never try, never fail, and never make a mistake - then we will never learn anything new about our business or ourselves.

It's so important to learn from our mistakes and apply those learnings as we move forward in life - something that can be looked at as a very positive process.

Today we are discussing how to Get More out of the rejection process with a positive mindset - and, more importantly, recognizing the difference between the situation and your view of it.

It's no secret that many people are out of work globally, and we are seeing more and more conversations happen around the topic of rejection and how to handle it.

We are joined by Natsune Oki, Author of The Game of Self Domination, The 15 Most Practical Steps To Self-Mastery And Achieving Anything You Want, and she shares how we can shift our mindset when it comes to rejection (in all areas of our life).

At the end of the day, rejection is simply the reflection of a situation and another person's decision - it's NOT a reflection on you as an individual so it's important to recognize the difference between the two.

Developing a positive mindset and stepping away from emotional attachments to outcomes is the first step in handling rejection effectively; it also helps us recognize (and visualize) what we want in our life.
