Fearless Future w/ Catherine McCourt

I can remember being inspired by Tony Robbins as a teenager then seeing Oprah Winfrey attempt Tony's Firewalk and thought I will do that one day!

And then I met the man behind it all...
MEET DAVE ALBIN the man behind FIREWALK PRODUCTIONS. After a battle with drugs and alcohol Dave stumbled upon Tony Robbins and his future was forever changed. He became Tony's right hand man producing the  Firewalks around the globe. 

In 2014 Dave started FIREWALKS PRODUCTIONS helping organizations and leaders to fight the fear and take a step into a new future for themselves and their teams. Dave is a man on a mission to help others overcome and face their fears in life and or their careers.  I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dave to hear his transformational story and how he is empowering others to take charge!

Hope you enjoy his story...

Do you ever wonder, "What is my MONEY MINDSET ?" or maybe just "What is MONEY MINDSET?"

In this episode I touch on four key areas to money mindset:
- common things that negatively affect your money mindset
- things to consider to positively affect your money mindset
- what are the five types of money mindset (investopedia.com)
- three tips to start creating a positive money mindset

Often we are a combination of what is described in this episode and as life ebbs and flows so may your finances. But, the idea here is to build awareness as this will help you determine what might need some attention or what your financial intention is.

I am NOT a financial expert and it is always wise to seek out your own professional advice from experts in the financial field.

Are you starting a new business? Have you been in business awhile?
Are you a business leader or sales leader looking for a proven strategy based on purpose and connection rather than just transaction?

Listen in on this episode where I talk about the benefits of being purpose-driven in your business and B2B sales strategies. Don't believe it can positively affect your bottom line?

Even Harvard Business Review has shared several studies proving that purpose-driven businesses out perform non purpose-driven companies.
 
HBR study found that “companies with high levels of purpose outperform the market by 5%–7% per year.”

Don't think this is valid enough? What about better overall employee retention and satisfaction? Better long term partnerships?

Enjoy the episode and let me know what you think!
