Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast

Some people have really good ideas, but never do anything with them. 

That's not today's guest, Kyle Olson. Kyle has really good ideas and takes action.

Three years ago Kyle started the Longest Open House, a fundraising event to honor his father who died from Alzheimer's Disease. His idea was that he could combine his work as a Real Estate Agent with The Longest Day, a national event put on by the Alzheimer's Association. His idea was the Longest Open House.

So for the past three years, Kyle's event has broken the world's record for the Longest Open House, and he's well on his way to raising $100,000 for his cause.

In this episode, Kyle talks about this year's event, scheduled for June 23-25, 2023, when he is setting out to break his own record with a 64-hour marathon.

If you'd like to donate to Kyle's cause or come out and support his effort, you can find more information at https://movingfargomoorhead.com/longest-open-house-2/

 

Randy Jones is a name-dropper. And that's perfectly acceptable because, as the host of his podcast called Jones.Show: Jonesing For Good, he's had some pretty impressive guests, many of whom have become friends because of his uncanny ability to make authentic connections.

Among the guests we talk about on this episode are Pat Benetar, Erin Brockovich, Melissa Rivers, and the woman who provided the original voice for Siri, Susan C. Bennett.

In addition to his talent for putting people at ease as a podcast host, Randy is also an author, speaker, and entertainer with a wickedly fun sense of humor.

Listen in as we get REAL about mentorship, parenting, relationships, pets, and all things connection.

Want to witness a REAL conversation without a clear-cut end in mind? Then you will love this conversation with Nick Reinke, CEO of HabiTerre, an advanced science and technology company that delivers actionable insights to improve Ag productivity, efficiency, and environmental outcomes.

During this conversation, Nick and I talk about growing up in the same rural North Dakota town one generation apart, and what that experience gave to each of us in similar and distinct ways.

You'll learn about Nick's personal journey which includes earning his MBA from Johns Hopkins University, and how, in looking back on his life so far, it seems all the dots are connecting to bring him exactly where he is at this point in time. We touch on topics as robust as climate change, mission, identity, conscious capitalism, and even serendipity.

There is a definite philosophical and even spiritual dimension to our conversation that anyone who is interested in being REAL will enjoy.

Author and Entrepreneur Brad Szollose and I have a lot in common. We've both been on a personal development journey most of our lives.

But we also have differing ways of putting our learning into the world. 

Brad is an author, and his book Liquid Leadership tells some of what he's learned about generational understanding and how that can affect companies. 

He took his fourth company, a tech company, public and ended up selling it, and used much of what he learned from that experience to help other organizations learn and best understand the different characteristics of generational leadership.

Brad is a graduate of the Landmark Forum (as am I), and also utilizes spiritual practices in his work.

Listen in as we have a REAL conversation about the truth each of us has come to know about ourselves.

You can find out more about Brad at his website www.bradszollose.com.

Today's episode is an accidental continuation (as in, I didn't plan it this way) of last week's inquiry into Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy's "The Gap and the Gain."

If learning remains only theory, it's never as effective as it might be. Today I talk about some of my own insights and invite others in the Facebook Live chat to join me as we decipher and put into practice the ideas from Gain Thinking.

Today's episode is a result of Jodee's ponderings regarding Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy's book "The Gap and the Gain," along with other thinking prompts from the week.

Included in those is the question "What is your utopia?"

 

Today's conversation is with Dr. Lance Secretan, author of 24 books including the newest one, Reawakening The Human Spirit. In this episode we talk about living a life of purpose and fulfillment and how crucial that is to the reawakening of the entire world.

This new book pulls together his greatest work, and shows readers how to gain a new and deeper insight into life and the inspiring roles each of us were born to play as leaders, parents, siblings, off-spring, and human beings.

When workplaces are guided by leaders who lead the way by regaining the inspiration that has eluded many people over the past 3 years in particular, the world will change for the better. 

Listen in as Lance tells us about the CASTLE Principles, the PIES learning style, and even throws in an Easter egg for you to find on the IMDB.com website if you search for his name.

To find out more about Lance and to order this book, go to Secretan.com. There you will also find many resources to help you live inspired. Download the Spirit @ Work cards app on your phone and you will have a shot of that inspiration right in your hand.

Dr. James Leiman has seen a lot and accomplished a lot and experienced a lot in his relatively short life, but when it comes to the opportunity to attract $40 billion dollars in global investment or creating opportunities with and for his family, he'll choose the latter.

He's currently doing that as he is taking a bit of a hiatus from in-person work to move his family to Puerto Rico where he wants them to have a full immersion in a different culture.

This conversation was rich in so many areas, including those you're not supposed to address in public: politics and religion. That's the beauty of getting REAL: there are no rules!

If you'd like to connect with James, he freely shares his email address: [email protected].

(Please forgive the background noise in the intro ... I have ocean sounds on in the background on this snowy March day!)

When you really think about it, the only thing that's REAL is where we are right now, in the present. Memories are either thoughts about something that's already happened that we are enjoying remembering, or regrets about things that didn't happen; and goals are simply possibilities that might happen that we choose to desire or worries that are possibilities that might happen that we don't desire.   What can we take from the memories we want to keep and dream about the goals without the worries? How would that shift our activities in the present?   Listen in as Jodee shares some random thoughts and ideas.

Today's guest is the author of the book "Mind, Time, and Power" and in this episode I promise you will learn a lot about a lot of topics from history to science to spirituality, all with some Canadian flair!

This book is 15 years in the creating, and here you will hear about the journey that got Anthony from a 10-year-old with a dream to a 75-year-old with a rich history.
