Todays guest joins a select band of guests who have appeared on the show more than once. She joined up her dots in her life, way back on episode 125, where she shared how she had found her thing in life and worked towards being a player-coach, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and mentor to professionals around the world, helping them grow their businesses and live amazing lives. She empowers others to dream big and go for what they truly want. At that time we spoke about releasing her latest book Vision to Reality: How Short Term Massive Action Equals Long Term Maximum Results where she taught her clients the way to an empowering future, by taking frequent and consistent action, as she has done not least moving eleven times to eleven different states in the USA through her life. Now, she has a new book out and its an interesting concept where she breaks down the rules of Business Dating. By looking closely at how we operate within our processional and personal lives, and has drawn enlightening parallels between personal and professional dating. She makes the case for why and how you should invest your time into building meaningful and long-lasting relationships with a select group of dynamic professionals. Fostering these win-win relationships, which can yield gains greater than anything you could imagine, and it will be faster and easier than you think. So let's not waste anymore time, and bring onto the show to join up more dots, and of course discuss relationship building with the one and only Honoree Corder.

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is a man who has been a small business owner for the last 18 years, and has learnt the hard way that to allow a business to thrive,. He believes that this means as much allowing the owner to thrive than anything else. Leaving Sienna Heights College with a Bachelor's Degrees in, Business Administration and Management, our guest set about creating one of the most successful martial arts schools in the State of Washington. Miller's Martial Arts Academy has become a key part of the neighbourhood for nearly twenty years, and is not just about teaching his pupils to break bricks with their heads (to be honest Im not even sure that this is what they do), but to teach children of all ages appropriate life skills which boost their self confidence. It teaches them responsibility, persistence, commitment and all the other things that will help the transition to adult hood and a successful life. And now with his new platform De-Mythify he is out to help the adults of the world, particularly the small business owners who have created income in their lives, but end up disliking the very thing that they have built. As he says "I have spoken to lots of burnt out business owners over the last nearly 20 years. I do not think you wake up not wanting to be a business owner. While, certainly, there could be a single event that sours you to the passion of being an business owner, that kind of change of heart only happens over time. It's what I call the "death by a million paper cuts". An owner has so many "plates spinning"– get this task going, now go do that task, hey we are out of toilet paper, John called off again, we lost our best customer, customer z is complaining again. All these little things add up so that the cumulative effect is that you wake up hating the thing that you truly loved doing just a few years ago." He seems a man who not only still loves what he is doing, but is now finding extra speed and energy because of that passion. He has found his thing (amongst being a rare horse breeder) and a real estate investor, and wants others to find theirs too. So how has he managed to stay energised, and keep all those plates spinning day after day, and come back for even more plates? And is there the right way to start a business, before even the first cheque hits the doormat? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Korbett Miller

Todays guest has come onto the show to share his story, as he works towards the life that he truly wants. Perhaps, he is already at that point already, and he can't believe tha this life can get any better either. Starting his career in the education system, he has from his first working days been a person that looks to build health and wellness into his life. He focused on coaching triathlon programmes as a Personal Trainer, Triathlon Coach, Youth and Junior Triathlon Development for Tri-Fi Health and Wellness and Chelsea Peirs, particularly looking at ways to tackle the problem of childhood obesity. But these activities were just the foundation to where he is now, with his online platform the Traveling Cup, and of course a podcast thrown into the mix too. In the summer of 2013, a former student met him for coffee. And after a bit of catching up, he leaned in and confessed something. Fresh out of college, he needed our guests help. He said, "I just graduated and want to make sure that the next steps I take allow me to have tremendous impact in the world. To help make the world a better place. What tips do you have? I feel a little lost. College didn't really prepare me for this." So how did he feel when he heard his statement? Did the angels start singing and a light shine down upon his head, showing him the next stage of his life, or did he just think "Well I think I can help this guy, but I don't know about anyone else?" Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Mark W Guay

Todays guest is a man who is really going after it in a big way. With five multimillion-dollar business success stories to his name in industries as vastly different as telecommunication, construction, and nationally accredited education, Matthew has been characterized as a true differentiation, niche marketing, and sales systemization powerhouse. Just like everyone else, he had to overcome many hardships throughout his life, some perhaps harder than others. Due to a disability, he had a reading speed of a sixth grader at the age of 18, resulting in introversion and an extreme lack of confidence. In 2007, he fell victim to a glassing to the face, which took 26 stitches, painful plastic surgery, and more than five years to heal. While others may have let these misfortunes hold them back, he has used them to learn and turned them into advantages that he now shares with others. His favorite saying is, "You decide every moment of every day who you are and what you believe in, you get a second chance every second". And now even though he is only in his early 30's he has a life that has covered many of the dots we see on Join Up Dots. The good times, the bad times, the successes and failures which have all lead him to where he is today. So does he look back ever on his life and reflect at the decisions that he has made, that placed him in situations that were out of his control, such as the glassing in 2007? And does he see where he is, as just the start. Does he see the willingness to overcome these things, as just the loading of the rocket power for his ultimate blast off? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Matthew Pollard.

I love it when you start researching a guest to have them on Join Up Dots, and you see a huge amount of facts on their about page, not least a big square "It all begins with mind-set" Well todays guest has a history that so many of us will resonate with, as we start on our careers, looking for the ultimate success that we believe is our god given right. But unfortunately more often than not the big man in the sky, doesn't help us out, and instead we have to go through the hard times before making that decision that it's down to us and nobody else. Well, our guy today graduated college with a similar tale to so many people coming out of the education system. He was $80,000 in debt (mostly student loans), had an empty bank account (~$100 at most times), a middle-class mind-set, and lots of ambition, but also stress, fear, lack of confidence, and a lot of uncertainty about what to do with his life. Sound similar? Well let's then tell you that whilst working in the corporate world, even with that uncertain start to his working life, he managed to pay off his debt in under 3 years, retire' at the age of 27, travelled around the world (25 countries and counting!), have well into the 6-figures in 3 different accounts, created his own investing algorithm, and started his first side business which led to a gross income of more than $100,000 every year (between salary, bonuses and investments), and here is the kicker.... Most importantly, he found personal freedom, confidence, peace of mind, and ultimately, happiness. As he says "I don't say any of this to brag (actually, my biggest fear in the world is to come off as a bragger). I say this to show you what you can achieve, and that I've learned some things that work very well." So how has he managed to find the way to the kind of life that so many people want, but can't truly believe should be theirs to have? And does he look back at his starting point and ever think....if I could only go back in time with the knowledge I have now...."Wow....what a ride it would be?" Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Austin Netzley.

Todays guest on Join Up Dots is a lady who is inspiring the world to tackle issues that could affect all of us in our lives. Hopefully it doesn't, but if it does then she has shown that it shouldn't be the end of our lives, but simply just another stage of what makes up our lives. Diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2012 the author resorted to a blog to keep in touch with friends, and unwittingly ended up writing about the good, the bad and the ugly side of cancer, which attracted many followers. Is there a good? Very possibly. Bad and ugly, definitely. There is also an extremely funny side – wry observations that brought humour into an otherwise bleak landscape which included chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. And I think that says so much of how life is generally, and what makes Join Up Dots such a powerful concept. Are the bad times, the good times, and the good times the bad times? Who truly knows. But what we do know is that we will learn more from the moments of our lives that challenge us, than the ones where everything goes our way. So the moment when she was told the news of her illness, was this a complete shocker or had she realised that something was right? And has she been amazed by the support that blogging her way through this illness has brought into her life? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots with the one and only Margaret Cahill

Todays guest is a man who has been helping clients from varied industries get their businesses to the top of search engines for quite awhile. With an eye for design, strategy, and incredible expertise, together with his team they will create a marketing campaign that is perfect for your business. But this is a strange one, or it seems from the outside, but in perfect Join Up Dots fashion I'm sure we will be able to make sense of it by the end of the show. Born and raised in San Diego, at a young age he received a magic kit as a present, and after quickly learning every trick he could, he started charging neighbourhood kids to see his magic shows. Throughout high school he would routinely perform at private parties and corporate events on the weekend then go to school during the week. He realized that people will pay top dollar for quality entertainment, and so two magic companies as a way to offer his magic services to the public were born. But to be honest even before we have brought the guy onto the show, you can see that to become either an entrepreneur or a magician means that you have to get used to failure. It takes years to be able to master either of the professions. It's that stickability that helps you get to the top, and most importantly keeps you there? So has he always been able and willing to flex his old hustle muscle and get out and about to make things happen? And would he ever have the desire to end up the new David Copperfield and have a three year residency in Vegas? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Josh London.

Todays guest is someone who has been shooting for the stars since beginning his professional life. You see he started his career as a pilot for the Republic of Singapore Air Force, and from 1980 until 2006, would run around shouting in best Top Gun fashion "I feel the need, the need for speed!" Well actually I'll be honest that is just my own little fantasy, and he may never had said that, but it is true that for twenty six years he was a helicopter pilot and flight Instructor. And within that time he must have seen thousands, or at least hundreds of hugely ambitious individuals pass in front of him, eager to prove themselves to their colleagues, family and of course themselves. Looking to take their performance to the highest levels they possibly can. And I wonder whether this environment was the place that nurtured his desire to help people achieve personal excellence, he started a new company REV to do just that – motivate and guide people to their peak performance. He realized that his gift and purpose in life is to help people on their way to the dream lives. The lives that they deserve. And that is what he does from his two bases, in Shanghai and Singapore, and it seems he loves every second of doing it too? So I suppose the key questions are why did he leave the military after being in it for so long? And does he see what he is doing now as his real role in life, or is this just to fill a gap that was left by the high octane testosterone filled life in the Air Force? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Jeff Tann

Throughout his successful career as an engineer for Boeing, NASA and the US Army, our guest entrepreneur today spent forty years of his own time researching the philosophies of ancient wisdom, and many other schools of thought to answer the fundamental questions we should all ask ourselves sometimes in our lives. Why are we here? What is our purpose? How might we live it better As he says, "I've been a seeker of truth for as long as I can remember. I recall as a teenager sitting in church looking at all the pomp and ceremony and thinking "I don't know what truth is, but this isn't it!" So began a quest to find the answers to these questions and of course to understand himself as well as he can too leading to great success. Taking advantage of his extensive training, he voraciously studied all the major religions and their origins. He read the ancient texts like the Books of the Dead, and The Kyballion. He studied the eastern and western philosophers from Pythagoras to Plato from Lao to Emerson. As a trained engineer he studied all the sciences including quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, anthropology, and archeology. He even studied reincarnation, mystics, UFO's. "I wanted to look at reality from every perspective I could think of," he offers. His book, The Endless Journey, is the culmination of his personal quest. It is a straight forward non-religious book, which is supported by many medical and scientific studies, offering a very understandable explanation of our world and the spiritual world in which we reside after death. It explains our nature and provides uplifting guidance on how to make the most out of our lives. Especially when we say 'yes' to the experience as spiritual beings. This last statement is a huge part of life, and one that we can skip over quite quickly time and time again…..saying "yes" to the opportunities that surround us everyday. So of course the big question too all this research is has he answered the questions about himself, or after 40 years is he still as confused as the rest of us? And as a scientist how did he manage to research and not dismiss some of the more out there concepts that appear in his book? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show, to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr David Gaggin.

Todays guest on join up dots, is a lady with a very different story to what you might have heard on join up dots. But that is of course what we try to do very hard. Give a voice to different tales, that some might say are strange, others might think are spot on, but everyone will think are fascinating. When working as a wildlife biologist, our guest took a full-time role living alone on an island to care for endangered foxes in a re-introduction program, she had no idea that she would discover an alarming absence of meaning and purpose in her life. And much to her surprise, luckily she had support as she wandered around the island on her own. She started to find that she had a feathery companion, that would join her, and often annoy her on a daily basis. Yes a stunning Northern Harriers hawk, nesting close to where she was living in her cabin, began showing her a path that she never thought possible. And that is just the start, as what occurred is quite honestly bizarre in its simplicity, but as I said right at the beginning fascinating all the way. So starting her life working at a Colorado Horse Rescue for three years, could she have imagined spending time on her own on a deserted island or would the thought have terrified her? And how has writing the book and putting the shamanic learnings out to the world, affected her life and the way that people perceive her? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Stacey Couch.
