Michel Neray has always danced on the delicate tightrope between creativity and logic. With an MBA furnishing his understanding of the business world and a natural inclination towards the written word, Michel forged his path as an advertising copywriter.

His early career days were filled with crafting narratives for significant ad campaigns, where he honed his skills by blending his dual passions: the artistry of language and the strategy of commerce. This dichotomy did not impede him; rather, it became his signature, his personal brand in his professional journey—Michel, the man who straddles the realms of both the creative and the rational with equal comfort and flair.

Michel's websites are https://neray.com for his corporate work, https://michelneraymusic.com for his new musical adventures and https://momondays.com to explore that offering!

Devin Bisanz's journey is not only one of resilience but also of inspiration. In college, Devin's life took an unexpected turn due to a traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident. This led to an intensive period of rehabilitation at the brain injury center, where Devin faced the challenges of recovery head-on.

Despite the challenging road to healing, Devin's natural charisma and charm remained undiminished. These qualities caught the attention of his college in New Caledonia, where he was studying. His engaging personality made him the perfect candidate for an ambassador role, and before long, Devin's face was found on posters across the campus, promoting various activities such as kayaking and other sports.

Devin's positive influence extended beyond just being the face of college activities. When the opportunity arose to speak to a group of influential business leaders—donors and benefactors of college scholarships—Devin stepped up to the task. Tasked with explaining the pivotal role the brain injury center played in his recovery, he crafted a heartfelt speech, punctuated by his trademark humor—an unexpected opening joke that, despite falling flat, failed to deter his determination.

While the journey through recovery shaped him in ways he never imagined, Devin Bisanz emerged as a beacon of determination, using his experience to inspire and connect with others in his community.

Joining me today is Nathen Aswell, a friend whose solo pilgrimage along the renowned Camino de Santiago led to a series of life-altering revelations and a willingness to stay completely present in each and every moment.

Nathen's odyssey was marked by physical challenges, (including a painful battle with shin splints); however his relentless desire to complete the task he set himself to and willingness to be open to possibilities propelled him toward his spiritual destination. Despite the hardship, he emerged with a series of unexpected gifts, including meeting the love of his life soon after his return.

As we explore Nathen's journey from walking the Camino as a path of peace and mindfulness to his eventual self-reflection and willingness to be truly present, we invite you to reflect on the metaphorical implications of such a pilgrimage. Can your personal Camino lead to a more peaceful you... and perhaps a more peaceful world?

Nathen's website is https://www.nathenaswell.com/ and he would be happy to chat with anyone who is thinking of walking the Camino. Please email him at [email protected]!

Imagine going from struggling with dyslexia in school to buying and turning around struggling colleges, all without a college degree at the start. Steve's tale is not just about personal success; it's also about the power of relationships and the crucial role they play in our professional lives.

In this episode, you'll hear how a wake-up call from a boss turned into a pivotal moment for Steve, setting him on a path to invaluable lessons in emotional intelligence and the heart of true leadership. We'll explore his fortitude through professional adversity, his insightful approach to leading by empowerment, and how he navigated the choppy waters of the private education industry to emerge a mentor and visionary in his own right.

Together with Steve, we'll unpack the differences between managing and leading, and why allowing people to learn from their mistakes can be the bedrock on which success is built. We’ll also share intimate moments of triumph, like helping a single mother reach her dreams, that underscore the human side of business.
