Everything has to start with gratitude. 

Wouldn't you agree?!

There is a mind-body connection with gratitude. The more grateful we are the better we feel. The better we feel the greater the chance we have to bring our best selves to the most important people in our life. 

Today's episode is the first of a five part series. They are short (Under 10 Min). I'm addicted to learning new gratitude practices. I've experimented with several. I've also hear about some others that might be helpful for you. 

This series is designed to give you some simple strategies you can execute in your life. The underlying purpose of those exercises is to help you lead a happier and more positive life. 

Enjoy! Share! And have a wonderful day! We never know which one will be our last.

Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? Our guest this week opens up about a time he felt like he was out of his league. After making it to Hollywood on American Idol he moved to Nashville to chase his dream as a musician and singer. 

The talent that surrounded him became intimidating and left him feeling stuck. He was demotivated and not in a healthy place.

A mentor enters the scene and builds a relationship with Dustin. Through this story you will learn how important your transparency with others can be. 

You’ll feel inspired and not alone. You’ll come away with some tips on what you can do when you feel like you don’t belong.

I used to really dislike the idea of broadcasting my "personal brand". Our guest today helped me realize how crucial it is to reconsider my initial hesitations. He made me think about personal branding differently. 

Joe Szyynkowski, the founder of The Upwrite Group, helped me realize that personal branding is an extension of the impact we can have on others. 

You have so many gifts. If you don't update your linkedin profile or resume you run the risks of suffocating those gifts. Yo need to make sure others know what you do well and what you are working on. 

Our episode today will remind business professionals and young job seekers how to amplify one of your most important attributes... your personal brand.

You'll likely be spending time with family next week and I want to help you make the most of your time together. 

 I used to  leave holiday gatherings feeling like I missed an opportunity to connect more with family. After struggling through this for a few years I realized I was to blame. 

I wasn't being intentional. Literally, there was nothing I was doing to enhance the depth of conversation.

I remember asking myself,

"How did I just sit with my grandfather for an hour and not learn one thing about his past?"

 If you want to avoid this feeling and and take advantage of your time with family this podcast series if for you. 

Everything starts with intent! The holidays are right around the corner and you should consider writing a MeaningFull Book this year. It's a simple way to step out of the busyness and show your true appreciation for the ones you care about.
